You have all heard of the " corpse
that Mitchell bought." Well, the young
man spoken of iu the first part, was
none other. lie not only killed his
man, but ujutilated him after he had
killed him. True, it was a hard case
that he killed the "boy" that shot
Sim Oldun, but then it was done in
cold blood. Boise had no jail at that,
lime, so the murderer, Fred Bucking
haujf alias Johnny Clark, was r ut into
the Garrison jail. Que night the guard
was bucked and gagged and Johnny
was taken out. Three scantling wero
set up in the main street (f the city,
aud JoliDny was left dangling in the air.
He had fought manfully, but of no avail,
the three XX X told the tale. He
was taken down by tho citizens of the
town, and given a decent burial. Af
terward, Nellie Clark, a woman of
shaky morals, came up to Boise and had
his remains taken up, ostensibly to take
them to San Francisco. They went to
Umatilla or Portland, or some place on
the Columbia, where Nellie, coming
across old rerd, was persuaded toaban
don her old flame hence, the u corpse
that Mitchell bought." But we had
mounted the box by the side of " ma-
VfiiSccnt James," a title in which the
Irlver of the Overland Staac delighted

Simply unapproachable, with a vest,

knew how to display it by putting out

James stuck to that vest. In fact, ho

it, with his left hand little fingcr,which,
by the way, was coated pretty well with
over with specimen rings, "you see my
cheat is weak, and I am compelled to
protect it." Hello, hero 'wo are at the
Twelve Mile House, a low, rambling
pile, built of balm logs, one story high,
covered first with poles, then with rye
grass, and then with mud, and it makes
a good roof ; the chiucks arc stopped
with a pole, and then straw and mud,
smoothed nicely down and tho whole
thing white washed. Hero we turn to
the right, leaving Doise river, with its
muddy current, its tall and graceful
balms, its rich, narrow valleys, its tall
rye grass, or hlackblue grass, waving
like a sea iu a geutle wind. It brings a
peculiar feeling over one to look upon a
scene Iiko this, a dreamy feeling akin
to love for the place, and yet a desire
to get away. To look back it seems
that everything is dead. No cattle, no
houses, sight, nothing but tho ser
pent-iik ; rttgth and coil of tho balm
tree winding through the desert. The
t-un beats down hotter aud hotter, the
crickets keep up their everlasting chant
and all tho ee sees is thousands of
acres of s;sgo brush and sand, and now
and then a trow Hying slowly over ti e
waste with every feather distended aud
beak open, almost su located with heat.
See that track across the road, and see
that oil' leader bound to one hide, and
dash violently ahead, taking the whole
couch ami sis with him, and neatly

In marrying make your own match.
Never marry a m:i3 to got rid of him
Do not marry iu haste to repent-at
leisure.
J.)o not marry lor a home and a living,
when thre are so many avenues for
making both.
Io not let parent or guardians marry
you to suit themselves, for they cannot
sutler for you tho life-long misery which
may be in store for you.
I)o cot place yourself habitually in
the company of any suitor. (let away
from them, make up your mtnd alone.
when you arc cot, bewildered and when
your head is cool. Many a young lady-
has yielded to wild protestations and
afterwards regretted it.
Do not look to high lest you secure a
companion who will desnise you.
Do not marry in haste. Love can
wait; tint which cannot wait is ol a
liffercnt nature.
Do not marry at the bidding of pa
rents merely. Let the heart be firm'y
fixed, and be sure you kuow what you
are doing.
Do not marry hastily against the
wishes and counsel of friends, consider
whether or not their objections arc
well founded.
Do not image that because you are
miserable when you are away from your
lover that you will always bo happy
with him. The opposite will often be
the case.
During the recent tour in tho West,
the Brothers Worthington gave an en
tertainment in the town of Osborn, Mo ,
with McAllister's Stereoptican better
known, probably, as the magic lantern
and among other astronomical scones
the galaxy was thrown upon the canvas.
The younger brother, who was explain
ing the scenes as they appeareJ, here
remarked that he supposed it hardly
necessary to inform the audience that
the scene before them was the galaxy or
milky-way, or as it was in some places
the milk-maid's path. He was just go
ing to give a discription of some of its
most important features, when he wis
interrupted by a would be smart youn
man in the audience crying out, " Yes,
yes; that is the nulk-maid's path, but
where is the milk maid?" Turning
quickly upon tho speaker, Mr. W. re
plied : " She'll be here as soon as she
finds the calf is out." It is needless to
add that the calf subsided, amidst a roar
of laughter from tho rest of the audi
ence. An exchange relates that while the
members of the republican convention
were assembled at the Bates House,
in Indianapolis, a visitor remarked to
the bar keeper that he must bo making
a fcooi thing out of the convention, to
which the barkeeper replied, cursing
the republicans, that his receipts had
been only $25, adding, had it been a
democratic convention he would have
taken in $2,500
Marriage.
At tho present time, when the mar
riage relation q:cupi:s much of the
public attention, tho following views ot
the late Theodore Parker on this sub
ject are not without interest:
" Men and women, aud especially
young pcoplo do not know that it takes
years to marry two hearts- even ol
the most loving and well assorted. Hut
nature allows no sudden change. Wo
slope gradually from the cradlo to the
summit ot life. Marriage i gradual, a
fraction of us at a time. A happy wed
lock is a long lulling in love. 1 know
young persons think love belongs only
to the brown hair, and a plump, round,
crimson cheek. So does for its be
ginning, just as Mt. Washington begins
at IJos ou buy. ut the golden mar
riage is a put of Jove which the bridal
day knows not him.: oT. Youth is the
tassel and silken llutvcr of love, age is
the full com, ripe and solid iu the car.

'marry
iht-tr opt oites in temper
and general
eharaett-r, umI such a marriage
is reu-.
erally a good match. They do, it in
.stiinrtively. The young man does not
say my black eyes require to be wed
with bine, and my over vehemence re
quites to be a htt!c modified with some
what ot dullness and reserve' When
these
;!! o.-ites
come together to
b-
wed I hey do n.it
know it :
each thinks
the other just like itself.
Old p-ople never marry their oppo
site. ; they marry their similars, and
from Ciih.-ulatiou. Kaeh of these two
arrangements is very proper. In their
long journey, these two young oppo
site will fall out by tho way a great
many tim-f and both get out of the
road, but c itlt will charm the other
back again, aud by and by they will be
agreed as to the place they will go to
aud the road they will go by, and bc
eomo reconciled. Tho man will be
nobler and 1 arget for being associated
with so much humanity unlike himself,
and she will be a nobler woman
for hiving manhood beside
her that seeks to correct her defi
ciencies and supply her with what sho
lacked, if the dtvcr.-iy be not too great,
and there be real piety and love in their
hearts to begin with. The old bride
groom having a much shorter journey
to make, must assueiato himself with
one like himself. Men and women are
married fractionally. Now a small frac
tion, then a large fraction. Very few
are married totally, and they only, I
think, after some forty or fifty years of
gradual approach aud experiment. Sueh
a largo and complete fruit is a complete
marriage that it needs a very long Sum
mer to ripen in, and then a Irng winter
to mellow and season it. But a real
happy marriige of love and judgement
between a noble man and woman, is one
of the things so very handsome that if
the sun were, as the (.J reek poets fabled,
a god, ho might stop the world in or
der to least his eyes on such a spec
tacle." !

Agricultural.
Tho proper time to pull hemp is any
Friday tint a good judge may select.
Castor-oil beans succeed best iu the
bowels of the earth. They will soon
work themselves out.
Tho best preparation for hops is a
toad or two in each hill. They will
make the vinei fairly jump.
The time to put in rye is early in the
morning. Some husbandmen, especially
tho in the city, continue to run it in
at intervals of half an hour until bed
lime. The practice is only allowable
in case of a dry season.
In reaping. wheat never take it by
th? beard. It is found to go against
trraiti.
Buckwheat is not a healthy fuod. It
is apt to cake upon the stomach.
Cum iu the ear is apt to affect the
heariug. If eaten green it will make
the voice husky. When served out as
army rations the kernel uhould alwavs
be served first, and theu the mcu4 pri
vately.
Never plants your potatoes early. It
is the early potato that gets the worm.
It is up hill work with them alter that.
Iu be certain of tho right kind of
sriuushes compare them with your head.
Iu adopting this rule I first mistook
pumpkins for squashes: but bv coutin
ucd, careful comparison, I soon learned
to detect the difference. But for some
uew login ners it requires great caution.
In making cider out of upples I found
it a pretty tight squeeze, notwithstand
ing my long counocuoti with the press
Never drink cider made from crab ap
pies. It i.s pretty sure to " go back" ol
you.
A correspondent asks us what w
think of lute plowing. Plowing nhould
uot be continued later than ten or elevn
o'clock at night. It gets the horses in
the habit of itaying out late at night,
and unduly exposes the plow. W e have
known plows to acquire stringhult and
intumatory rheumatism from late plow
ing. Don't do it.
1 he cold weather should fugge.-t to
every humane fWrncr the necessity for a
i?ood cow shed. Ihe following is a good
receipt for making a good cow shed :
' Pour a pailful of boiling water on her
back, and it that don t make a good cow
nhcd her hair wo are no prophet to
anybody. '
W beu ou make Cider, select nothing
but the soundest turnips, chopping
them into sld lengths before craddling
them. In boiling your cider use plenty
of ice; aud when boiled hang it up to
dry.
io another correspondent who wants
us to suggest a good drain on a farm,
wc woul l say a heavy mortgage ten
per cent. will drain it about as rapidly
as anything we know of.
In sowing your winter appie-jacK, a
horse-rake will be found preferable to a
steep ladder. Step ladders aic liable to
frcezo up, and arc hardly palatable un
less boiled iu sugar.
A pick axe should never be ucd in
picking apples It has a tendency to
break down the vines aud damage the

Walter Scott, in a narrative of his
personal history, gives tho following
caution to youth : If it should ever
fall to the lot of youth to peruse these
pages, let such readers remember that
it is with tho deepest regret that I recol
lect in my manhood the opportunities
of lcnrning which I neglected in my
youth ; that through every part ot my
literary career 1 have felt pinched and
hampered by my own ignorance ; and I
would this moment give half the repu
tation that it has been my good fortune
to acquire, if by doing so I could rest
tho remaining part upon a souud foun
dation of learning and science.
The number of stars visible to tho
naked eye, in the entire circuit of tho
heavens, has been. usually estimated at
about 0,000 ; an ordinary opera-glass
will exhibit something like ten times
that number ; a comparatively small tel
escope easily shows 200,000; while
there are telescopes in existence with
which, there is reason to believe, that
rot less than 25,000,000 star arc
visible. .
Try It, When, from sedentary
habits, the muscles arc emaciated and
the digestive system disordered, the
best method for restoring tho paticut
