Nothing of note occurs, and in a week from date we are to the lively camp of Hogem. Here we find every ghade of human nature; we will briefly 'notice the career of one, and we, are done. J ny were immigrants from NwsVork; The father had died ,"cn the-way and the mother and daugh ter had found their way to this place. The mother was keeping a , boarding house. I We boarded there. A man, we know him not, was steadily insinu ating himself in the daughter's affec tions.1 If was finally rumored that they VerVto be married next spring. Spring came,, we bought claims, left the hotel and worked, till fall. Meantime there - came a rumor that the landlady's daugh ter was "ick and that IJill Junk was " gone;1 We had wound up the summer's work.; Again-the golden hue of autumn ,aa thrQwingj, its growing mantle o'er nhl'lap of nature,1 when we left the mountain gorge,, where our claim was, and came into town. There was a great 'commotion at the hotel. Julia was dead. Rough miners stood aronnd, men that had went through every conceiv able phase of rough existence, weeping. - hey made her a eraveon the flat back of town; haneath the pines.

This was tne last of Hogem for us. We come to, Walla Walla; are sitting on the stoop bf the' hotel ; one of our company start : we all listeu a man is telltnr a tale, f Yes," he said, "I played her: made her think 'I was rich, and pious, and all that sert of thing; accomplished my ends, and " a sharp report and tlie speaker bounds - to his feet tin harmed i " do you mean that for me ?" he said, drawing his pistol, and fireing. A few nore shots were. exchanged wlien the seducer lay Ae:u at the fet of his wounded assailant. AsTI fiobh this, I receiVe this letter " Dear friend I went back to Hogem, after I left you at Walla Walla. I have persuaded Julia's mother to return to New York, and allow me the happiness of educat ing her granddaughter. As you know, I have plenty of this world's goods, and if the Lord spares my life, Iinteui it shall be spent ia doing good. The child is bright and cheerful now, and none will ever know her father. Long life to you ; my wounds may heal over, but I'll never be sound. Sometimes pray that you and I and and Julia may meet in Heaven." The end. - A Perfect Cure. A contributor tells an exchange how he was permanently cured of fits. He was riding in the mining districts of Nevada one of those mushroon growths common in the territories when night came upon him. Tired and huugrv, he drew up at a greasy, dirty shanty which was ealled a tavern, and 6ouuhf accommodations. He Hhus details his night's experience: The landlord could only give me a room with a bedfellow. " Very well, I don't object," said I, as he 1'jd tlie way by the light of u miserable tallow dip, which he left with me to light iue to bed. I surveyed th? room.and particularly my bedfellow. He was a mild looking man. I thoughtperhaps a clas leader, in some primitive log church near bv. His repoee was so ouiot and childlike that 1 thought we would sleep reacefully together for the night : but before I had blown out the light, he opened a snore that 6emed like a cross between filing a saw and sawing a board, and my feelings at once became mali cious toward him. I blew out the light and turned in, and still the snore continued. The moon had now risen, making every object in the rornn visible. I hunched niv friend, and as he opened his eye with a snap, he said : " Hv iiniro. Mister, how vou scared J J ' w me. You going to sleep hero to-night? "Yes." Well. I'm miahtv clad of it. I al- w!tvs l'lkn enmnanv. It's kinder lone- some to sleep alone." ... . . - , " Yes. it is so. Pardon me for waktng you, but I thpught it my duty to tell you that I sometimes take fits." " What, ntsf iou uoqi nay u, Mister!" " Yes I do. I'm not particularly dangerous, but I bite sometimes ; so be careful that 1 don't get my teeth into you." "Well, 111 bedoggonedi l nope you won't have any fits." "So do I." " I hope, Mister, you won't bite me if you do have any fits. 14 O, I hope not." v He drew a long breath, and then said : t Well, I am afraid that I won't sleep any to-night." " O, don't lose any sleep." " But how am I to know when you arc going to have fits,?" "O, I groan, and breathehard, and foam at the mouth ; and when you hear me snap my teeth like a dog, then you had better look out." " Well, I'm blamed if I ain't sorry. Mister, that you came in here. I'm afraid you'll be moro company than I want" t 41 Oh, don't be uneasy ; I sometimes don't have any for months. Let's go to sleep j and I pretended to drop ofi into peaceful slumber. ' My companion rolled and tumbled uneasily for some time, then dropped off into an uneapy plumber, and soon commenced that old snore just where he left' off when I woke him up. That decided me upon having a fit, and, with a fearful snore, and a horrible groan ing, I set my nails into his arms and my teeth into his shoulder, just hard enough to nip nicely, but it was enough for the purpose. With a terrible yell ho sprang rora the bed, and ,wen.t fly ing down stairs exclaiming : I' O dear, he's got fits, he's got fits ! Ho has bitten a piece out of my shoul der 1" The landlord, with a crowd from the bar-room,' came hurrying up, and found me just recovering from the offects of the fit; and giving me a hot toddy from his own private bottle, he left me. He carried with him the clothing of my bed fellow, who had turned in on a blanket on the floor, down stairs, re solved to be bitten no more by men having fits. It was delicious to have the whole bed to myself, and I luxuriated in it by stretching myself entirely across it 1 had soon dropped into a slumber, peace ful and iuuccent.as my childhood, when l was 'aroused ' by "some one -roughly 6hakinr mv shoulder and savins: ' Wake up, stranger, and move over Half of this bed is mine. I opened my eyes oa a six-foot teamster, who was pulling off his rough boots. A rough looking specimen he was. He annoyed me by taking up twothirds of the bed and crowding me to the wall. I concluded to try another fit, and said : My friend." " 0,shut up your trap, I'm sleepy." " Hut I thought I'd tell you that I have fi:s." Well, fit away, 60 you don't wake me. " But I bite when I have thcra." " Well, bite the bed-post, then," Now, thin ought to have convinced ni that this was the wrong customer, but it didn't ; end, waiting until he was sound akleep, like a fool I buckled in, and set u y teeth and uails into him in splendid style, while I groaned fearfully. It was the last fit 1 had ever had, a per fect f--ucet'ss on my pirt ; but the way that chap jumped out of bed and mauled me eroutid that room w:is the most per fect fsuftvs.s in pugulistic treatment I ever exrierictMvd. Ho brought me out of that fif. He cured tne of it. I don't thtnd I'll ever h ive another, but I do n it like 'his tuediciue. Mv eves were ail hlacked up. m- nose blooded, lit split open, one ear flattened to my head. mv fhirt front all torn off, and to make ml the matter wuio the fellow was asleep in five minutes alter, as though nothing had happi ned. The next morcing, I went down late to breakfast, and all crowded around to see the man who lud fits, and to tell me that my horse had been stolen. Tht u.iid l(H)ki(i; niHO, my first bed-fellow, had gone off with him.

An intelligent and thrifty farmer says : " But lor the co- oneration of bovs I should have failed. The eldest is near twenty-one, and tho other boys in tho neighborhood have left their parents mine have stuck to me when, I most needed their' services. I attribute this result to thp fact that I have tried to make home pleasant for tboin. I furnished them with attractive and useful reading ; and when night comes and the day's work is done, in stead of running with other boys to railroad stations and adjoining towns, they gather around the great lamp, and beoomo interested in their hooka and papers."

The New York papers are chronicl- ing tne snutiung ou ot a young man named liufus Kipley, who held a cler ical position in a Wail street bank, and who seems to have destroyed himself in thn best possible manner., He was a haudsoine fellow, but he suffered with neuralgic puins, and worried somewhat over the death of his father. On Fri-1 day, he left his. desk in the Jiaukiof New lork, walked up stairs and nred a pistol ball through his heart. He left a matter-of-fact note, of which the fol lowing is a copy. It is rather cheerful for a suicide, aud contains some jocose allusions which are as mysterious as Mr. Pickwick's ' Chops aud Tomato fcauce : "Dkar Ned I think you will find everything all right. hoever takes my place will find the accounts and in terest statements in my right hand drawer. Things are n little behind hand, for I have been too miserable to keep everything up toths'mark. The only old affair that bothers my mind at all h that 10,000 credit of Allen, Uopp k Co.

I am worn out with head ache and figures, aud I am going to my long rest. Please remember me kindly to Mr. Lcverich and Mr. Meeker, and tell them I km grateful for their kind ness through the past ear. Say good lye to Mr. Ferris and all the boys for me.

Tell Hill I remember the 4 rock? and sands.' I have made the last posting in the ledger of life, and now I am going to ' tick off Good-bye ; God bless you. KUFIAS." To this was appended a huiuoious codicil in the following language : ' Thank Robert for the key, and ask Walley how he swims. Say to Mrs. llrown good-bye, and that I 11 miss the rice pudding." It is remarked that poor Ripley was not a drinker. His habits were excel lent, but his brain was affected. The verdict in hisca.se was temporary insan ity. Fi.voKti Marks --A short time ao u ?entleman employed a mason to do some work for him, and among other things to 'thin whiten' the walls of one of his chambers This thin whitening is almost colorless until dried. The gentleman was much surprised on the next morning after the chamber was finished, to find on the drawer of n bu reau standing in his room white fiuger marks. Opening the drawer he found the samo on the articles in it, and on a trticket-book. An examination revealed ,he. same on the contents of the ba I "Phis proved cleirly that the maon with his wet hands had opened the drawer and searched the barr. which contained no money, and then closed tl2 drawer without once thinking any one Mould know it. The 'thin whitening' which happened to be on his hands did not show at first, and probably he had no idea that twelve hours' drying would reveal his weakness I Beware of evi thoughts and deeds. Thev will leave their fnmer marks which will one day be revealed. Thev mav be almost if not nuite invisible at first. But even if they should not be seen during any of vour davs on earth, vet there is a day coming in which all will be mad manifest. The Columbia (.(;.)
