WAITING.
I cannot wean my wayward heart from waiting,
Tho tlio stops watched for never como nncar;
Tho wearying want clings to it unabating
Tho fruitless wish for presopecs onco doar.
No fairer cvo o'er blessed a poet's vision!
No softer airs o'er kissod a poet a brow;
No scene moro truly could bo called Elyjian,
Than this which holds my gazo enchanted
now.
And yet I pino this beautiful completeness
Is incomplete to my desiring heart;
lis bcautya form without her soul of swootness,
Tho puro but chiseled loveliness of art.
Thoro is no longer ploasuro In emotion,
I ouvy thoso dead souls no touch can thrill,
Who "painted ships upon a painted ocean"
Seem to bo moveif, yet aro forever still.
Whcro aro they (ted! tlioy whoso delightful
oiccs,
Whoso very footsteps had a charmed fall)
No more, no moro their sound my heart rojoiccs;
Change, death, and distance part mo now
from all.
And tho fair evening, with remembrance teem
ing, Pierces my soul with every sharp regret;
Tho sweetest beauty saddens to my seeming,
Since nil that's fair forbids ma to forget.
Kyos that havo cazod upon yon silver crescent
Till filled with light, then turned to gazo in
mine;
Lips that could clotlio a fancy evanescent
In words whoso magic thrilled tho brain liko
wino;
ITamls thaj havo wroathed Juno roses in my
tresses,
And gathered violets to deck my breast;
Whoro aro yo now! I missyourdcar caresses
I miss tho lips, tho oyes, that mado mo blest.
Lonoly I sit mil watch tho fitful burning
Of prairio fires, far off, through gathering
gloom;
"While tho young moon and ono bright star
returning
Down tho bluo solitudo lcavo Night their
room,
Gono is tho glimmer of tho silent river;
Hushed is tho wind that sped tho leaves
to-day;
Npw through silonco falls tho crystal shiver
Of tho sweet starlight on its earthward way.
And yot 1 wait, how vainly! for a token
A sigh, a touch, a whisper from tho past;
Alasl I listen for a word unspokon.
And wait for arms that havo embraced their
last.
I wish no more, as onco I wished, each feeling
To grow immortal in my happy breast;
fjinco'not to fool will lcavo no wounds for
healing
Tho pulse that. thrills not hasnoncod of rest.
As tho conviction sinks into my spirit
mat my quick Heart Is Utoincd to uealli in
life,
Or that thoso pangi must pierco and never
scar it,
I am abandoned to despairing strife
To tho lost life, alatt no moro returning
In this to como no semblance of tho past
Only to waitt hoping this coasoless yearning
May oro long end, and rest may como at last I

Crowing the Plains la '45.
Since putting tho first installment of
the diary of crossing tho plains, wo
loarn that Mr. James Field, who
wroto It, Is now living In tho Stato of
Now York. We had heon told that
his whereabouts woro not known, and
that ho was probably dead so wo
must ask him to pardon us for making
tfreo with his manuscript. Wo find
also that ho is tho samo Mr. Field that
wo knew well in Portland in '60, Wo
hope that he will complete tho story
from memory, as he leaves off within
a few days' journey of Tho Dalles.

Wed. 18. This morning wo wont 12
miles, which took us to tho real Horso
crcok, and 10 moro to tho north fork,
whcro wo found an excellont camp for
grass, wood, and water. Tho Informa
tion that Clark, who acted as pilot
when tho companies woro nil togothor,
gavo us, led mo to supposo our second
encampment aftor leaving Ash Hollow
was mado upon Ilorso crcok, but In
this I was mistaken, as tho traders tell
us this Is tho roal Horso creek.
Thur. 10. Wo camped last ovonlng
In company with Mr. Martin's compa
ny of 13 wagons, thoy having camped
so near us nt tho last camping placo
that our cattlo woro mixed, and wo
yosterday traveled in ono company,
camping howovor In two separate cir
cles. Thoy woro originally n part of
Mr. Tothero's company, tho ono spoken
of beforo reaching tho Wolf lllvor In
dian Aconcy. and wo have boon near
neighbors ovor slnco our separation
from McNary. They this morning got
tho Bturt of us with tholr wagons, and
wo parted company, dividing tho cat
tlo detaining us somo tlnio, Went 11
miles, camping on tho Fork, finding
plenty of excellent flrowood, Tho
bottom along tho Fork nppoar3 to havo
boon lately quito well timbered, but it
is now nearly all destroyed by fire, tho
dead and dry wood strowlng tho bot
tom. About two miles from camp
passed tho ruins of an old trading fort,
apparently it bolng fourstono fireplaces
oncloscd with tho stumps of a stock
ado, tho stockado having been burned
off.
Frid. '20. Ilcachod Ft. Larlmlo about
noon, traveling eight miles, tho road
sandy, traveling heavy. It is situated
on Lurlmlo'a fork of PIntto, in n rough,
barren region of country, near tho baso
of tho Itocky Mountains, tho dark
outlines of which aro now In vlow, and
is ono of tho forts of tho American Fur
Company. Fort Platto Is about ono
inllo from it, further down tho fork,
and belongs to somo French traders.
Tho Sioux havo boon collected hero in
consldorablo numbers this season, but
many of thorn aro now gono, tho trad
ers tell us. Thoso that nro hero arc
very friendly with us, wishing to mako
all sorts or trades, oven to swapping
horses for girls. I think thorn as in
telligent,, cleanly-looking Indians as
ovor I saw any whoro. Noticed a num
bor of half-breeds among tho young
Indians, and tun told It is tho rogular
custom of tho tradors to keep Indian
wives nt tho fort. They say it is no-
ccssary tor their personal enroty, as
thoy aro then considered ono of tho
trlbo, and should ono get killed his
frlonds will nvongo his doath. Tho
Sioux havo numbers of very fino hors
os, tho best I ovor saw among Indians,
and thoy prlzougood ono highly, thoy
aro so useful for killing buffalo. Thoy
nro vory anxious to trado tholr ponies
for good American horses. Tiio only
guns among thorn, or that thoy will
havo, aro short, largo-bored shot-guns,
and thoy don't want u rlflo nt any rate.
Many of tho company spoilt tho after
noon In writing to tholr frlonds, and
ono little Incident amused mo much.
I was lying besldo my wagon, in which
n woman was writing to her frlonds In
Illinois, when a young Mlsiourlan, a
girl about 8 years of ago, stops upon
tho wagon-tongue, and says, "Mrs. C,
aro you writing a iottorV" " Yes."
"Put something in to Undo Jack and
Aunt Lucy for mo, won't you?"
Sat. 21. Wont about 20 miles ovor n
rough, broken country, with a raugo of
mountains having sovoral high peaks
In vlow on our loft. Had a moonlight
march to got a camp, it boing near 11
o'clock whon wo loft tho fort, which
brought us Into camp about lOat night,
whon wo reached a small crook.
Sun. 22. Wont 12 miles through a
country presenting (ho samo wild and
barren uspoct as yostorday, which
brought us to the north fork again, on
which wo camped. HInco reaching
Fort Larlmlo, tho aspect of the coun
try has changed ontircly. Wo no moro
find the smooth level prairie, on which
tho wagon rolls for miles without any
pulling, us ono might say. Tho whole
country is covered at intervals with
pino and cedar timber, so that buffalo
chips find a poor market, and tho in
tervales along the streams aro narrow
er, and ufford much loss pasture, being
dry nnd unproductive.
Mon. 22. Having an excellent camp
for wood, water, and grass, and plenty
of dirty duds in tho wagons to keep
the women out of mischief for ono
day, wo concluded to lio by.
Tues. 21. Went about 14 miles, tho
road bettor than nny iu tho neighbor
hood of Fort Larlmlo, being lesa sandy
and uneven. About 7 rallos from our
last encampment, passed tho camp of a
small detachment of U. S. dragoons,
having a baggago wagon with them,
as they aro convoying a disabled sol
dier back to tho fort. His numo is
Smith, and tho accident occurred some
40 miles ahead. In drawing his gun
from u thicket of brush it wont off,
shattering his arm in two places so
that It was necessary to amputato it
abovo the elbow, which operation bos
vvJJ-dLiYlEri
been performed, and ho appears to bo
doing well.
Wed. 2C Wont about 8 mil03, camp
ing on a small stream, about 4 miles
from tho river. Saw noar camp n flock
of partridges, tho first I havo soon
slnco loaving home. Country again
broken nnd ruggod, road hilly.
Thur. 20. Wont 10 mllo3, camping
on a stream somownat larger than tho
Inst, with tho surrounding hills full of
red clay, giving thorn tho color of
brick. I am disappointed in tho part
of tho country wo aro now traveling,
as wo wero told of sovoral strotchos of
20 and 30 miles nlong horo without
water, but wo havo found nono such
yot, as in ovory deep ravlno wo nro
nearly suro of finding water and moro
or less grass. This ovoning wo havo
an excellent camp for both, nnd as for
wood, It Is plenty everywhere in tho
dcop hollows.
Frld. 27. Yostorday morning a horso
was missing from our company, and
tnroo others from Capt. English's, who
encamped near us that night. Two
men wero left hohind to hunt ours,
and they report that It la tholr boliof
sho wos taken off by Indians, as thoy
found moccasin tracks near tho placo
they lost tho trail. Wo camped last
ovonlng noar Martin's company, which
detained us again this morning divid
ing out cattlo, Wo howovor traveled
nbout 11 miles, nil threo companies
camping on a small crcok, near each
other again. In tho afternoon, mot n
company of trappers, with mules and
ponies packed with furs, going from
Fort Uridgor, near tho Southwest Pass,
to tho States, and tho wildest-looking
crow they woro of nny wo havo mot
with yet, somo of thorn having their
squaws and children with thorn. Wo
saw buffalo to-day, killing ono. Wo
havo soon nono boforc, slnco wo woro
about CO miles bolow Fort Larlmlo.
Sat. 28. Tho country, for tho past
few days, Is not so full of tlmbor as It
was near Fort Larlmlo. It is brokon
with high hill?, somo of thorn rising
into littlo mountains, tho naked sides
of which nro tho porfoct imago of des
olation itself. Tho water-courses nro
sandy, nnd present tho phenomenon
of sinking nnd rising again from tho
sand, which makes tho country nppoar
scarcer of water than it really is, ns in
crossing ono you may soo nothing but
n hot, dry bed of looso sand, whilst by
following it up or down you may find n
fino running stream of wntor, puro as
crystal, rising, running a short dis
tance, then sinking Into It again. Tho
water is of an oxcoltcnt quality, ns by
this constant filtration through tho
sand it Is cleansed of nil impurltios, If
any originally ox 1st. Wo lay in camp
to-day, in order to got clear of tho
other companies, as our cattlo woro
mixing ovory night, causing consldor
ablo work separating thorn every
morning. Threo fino dcor woro killed,
also two beaver. Tho latter animals
nppoar vory thick nlong tho creek, it
being dammed by thorn nt ovory short
intorvnl, nnd tho banks strown with
trees cut roady tor transportation to
tholr dams. Thcso trees wero young
cottonwoods, from two lo six inches in
dlamotor and eight to twolvo fcot long,
being cut nt both cuds as well ns an
Indian would do It wllh his hnlchot,
leaving only tho tooth-print to dotect
tho laborer by. Tho two that wero
killed woro shaped liko n coon, except
ing tho hind foot and tall, tho foot be
ing wohbed liko n duck's, nnd tho tall,
which was covorcd with a hard sklu
looking liko fino scales, was precisely
tho shapo of u trowol. Tho color was
brown, and in slzo it was doublo that
of tho coon. Tho tall Is considered a
great delicacy by tho trappur and hun
ter. I had an opportunity to-day of
testing tho comparatlvo quuliiy of deer
and buffalo meat. Doth wero of ex
cellent quality, hut tho deer has a do
cided proforoncc, bolng of a floor grain
and moro Juicy and tondor.
Sun. 29. On driving up our stock
this morning threo oxen woro missing,
and, although tho owners could go
along without them, they declared
thoy would not movo for ten days un
less thoy woro found; so, after yoking
up and standing in lino more than half
tho day, wo turned out, and camped
upon tho samo spot again. It had boon
the practice of tho company, whon a
fow cattlo woro missing, to send back a
party to hunt them, and lot the others
movo on, but, whon men get mulish,
they sometimes mako asses of them
selves, and hero we aro to-night, with
Tothero's company of 30 wagons asd
300 head of cattlo Jammed In upon us,
thu3 losing two days' travel to got
clear of Martin's company, and then
getting mixed with ono twice Its size,
whilst Stowurt's company passod nt
noon with 22 wagons.

Salt mentor fresh Is much nicer if
freshened lu skimmed milk. If you
wish to freshen salt pork to fry for
breakfast, sllco it tho night beforo,
and lot it soak till morning in tho
milk. When salt fish is cooked, it
should not boil, only fdmmer, as boll
incr makes it hard. It should bo tied
in a cloth to keep it from breaking.

A nice pudding can bo mado of dried

Put a layer of fruit, thon n layer about
an inch thick of broad-crumbs, sprink
led with sugnr, and n fow lumps of
butter. Continuo in this way till tho
dish is flllod; pour wator enough over
to moisten tho crumbs. Covor, nnd
hako half an hour, rcmovo tho cover,
nnd let it brown; oat with cream and

cheap too, using up tho odd scraps of
bread to good advantage Wo think
dishes of this sort much profcrablo to

and cannot fall to glvo dyspepsia or

A very nico crust for plos can bo

A nico way to cook ham is to cut In

WHAT WK DKINK.
A couplo of chaptors havo boon de
voted to tho subject of eating, so it will
not bo amiss, to havo Homothlng to
drink with it. Wator Is certainly tho
best of all drinks, and ono which tho
Creator intonded for us, but man has
sought out many Inventions. Coffco
and tea nro tho outgrowth of civiliza
tion nnd aro In common household uso.
Tho modcrnto uso of cither will do no
Injury, but whon usod to oxcoss, is
hurtful. Coffoo for breakfast is tho
accented bovoruiro: if not too strong, it
will Invigorate nnd nourish tho body,
Liko nil other stimulants, it can bo
used to excess, that Is, threo tlmos n
day, clear and black, two or threo cups
each tlnio.
To mako good coffoo, tho berry
should bo browned, not burnt; a fow
burnt grains will spoil tho wholo batch,
so it should bo watched with care.
Too much should not bo browned at
ono time, ns tho flavor is much moro
dclicato if freshly prepared. Aftor
browning, It should bo put in n tight
vessol, so that tho aroma may not es
cape If eggs .aro scarco, ono brokon
Into tho pan aftor tho grains cool n
littto, and well stirred In, will soldo
tho coffco nicely, without nny moro.
A littlo bit of butter ndds to tho rich
ness of tho flavor. If oggs are plenti
ful, n wholo ono well beaten Into tho
coft'eo aftor It Is ground, adding u fow
spoonfuls of cold wator, makes Iho
coffoo delicious. For six persons put a
half pint of ground coffoo Into n bright
coffco-pot, with ono ogg; bent well
togothor; pour over a quart of boiling
water, covor tight, and sot It back on
tho stove; when It will slowly como to
u trail; lot it boll up onn minute, stir
down, nnd then placo it hack whcro it
will keep hot, but not boll. Servo soon,
with cream and sugar, uud it's a drink
fit for a king. It Is absolutely necessa
ry that tho coffeo-pot should not bo old
and black ou tho Inside: good coffoo
cannot bo had from an old rusty pot,
nnd muny who wondor why tholr cof
foo is not good may find that a now
coffee-pot will work wondors. Thon,
again, poor coffoo coinos from being
boiled and stowed too long ovor tho
stovo; that is tho way hotel-coffeo is
made. Tiio old grounds should bo
thrown out and tho pot washed and
rinsed nfter ovory meal; if thoro Is
somo good cold coffee left, it may bo
put in and warmed over, but thoro Is
not much economy in that.
Thero is great difference in tho kinds
of coffoo. Tho Mocha nnd Java havo
a great roputation, and cost moro, but
wo find tho Costa Rica excellent.
Much coffeo 1 put up already ground,
for sale, but wo aro euro that much
chicory is put in it. It goes furthor,
that is, it takes less to mako a cup of
strong coffee than whon browned in
tho house, and somo liko tho tasto of
tho chicory. Thero Is nothing dclota
rlous In tho uso of It, any moro than
In tho uso of coffee; but, for real, dcli
cato flavor and aroma, glvo us u fresh
ly browned and ground cup of homo
mado coffee.
