Here was a terrible blow to all hope, and in the discouragement it inflicted three long months were passed. De Marsay, growing thin and wretched from fretting, and by his despondency occasioning his friends (he deepest solicitude. ,At length one jf his relatives resolved on a bold step. He went direct to the Rue De Marals. and demanded to speak with the dyer. It is not very easy to say how he opened a negotiation of such delicacy that he did so with consummate tact and skill there can be no doubt, for he so worked on the dyer's compassion, by the picture of a poor young fellow, utterly ruined in his career, unable 10 face the world—to meet his regiment even to appear before the enemy, being blue!—that the dyer at last confessed his pity, but at the same time cried out: What can I do? There is no getting it off again!" "No getting it off again! Do yo really tell me that?" exclaimed tho wretched negotiator. "Impossible that's the patent," said the other with an ill-dissembled pride. "I have spent seven years in the invention.— I only hit upon it last October. Its grand merit is, that it resists all attempts to efface it." "And do yon tell me," cries the friend in terror, "that this poor fellow must go down to his grave in that odious—well, I mean no offence—in that unholy tint?"

Our Natural Boundaries*»A Naval OGicer's Definition. The following story, in the Now Hampshire Patriot, is from the pen of the exPresident Pierce:

Capt. of the United States Navy, was equally distinguished for his eccentricity of manner and for his proficiency in seamenship. On one occasion, during a cruise in fhe Mediterranean, he so acquitted himself as to induce some English nnd French officers, who were engaged upon similar service, (cruising) to fender him a complimentary dinner, as an evidence of their appreciation of his professional skill. At the time designated, many were present. Customarj' courtesies were being exchanged, and international toasts and sentiments were being liberally indulged in, accompanied by corresponding potations, when one of the officers in Her Majesty's service having become somewhat oblivions, remarked with characteristic hrusqueness: "Captain, have but one great objection to your countrymen." "Ah!" naively said the Captain, "what is that?" "An insatiable desire for the acquisition of territory.'' Then, becoming excited by

Unfavorable Accounts from the Gold Mines. From the Pacific City Herald (Extra) July 9.

Capt. L. Nuckolls reached home yesterday, July 8. He left fhe mines on the 25th ult. Consequently he made the trip in about thirteen days, and brings the latest news yet received from the mines.

In regard to the gold mines, Capt. N. lost no opportunity of obtaining all the reliable information possible. His extensive acquaintance with the pioneer gold seekers, and his frequent intercourse with them, gave him unusual facilities for acquiring correct information. Being entirely disinterested, we fee1 satisfied his statements are nearer the truth than anything yet published.

He says it was estimated that 20,000 persons were at the mines. Of this num-

incline to the latter suppo- |jority were riot paving expenses. The

's'l'on- At all events she gave him a ren- number who are making extraordinary wa-

ges is limited to a very few. He does not think the entire amount of gold taken out this season, thus far, exceeds thirty thousand dollars.

Between Cache la Poudre and the crossing of the South Platte, he passed about 700 teams returning home. Most of the persons accompanying these trains had visited the mountain diggings, but failed to meet with sufficient encouragement to induce them to remain.

The statement of Horace Greeley and others, was undoubtedly made in candor and honesty, but was greatly exaggerated, in consequence of interested parties. He thinks, in a very few instances $150 to $300 have been taken out of certain claims in a day, but these instances are exceeging-

ly rare. His advice to all who contemplate emigrating to the mines, is to wait further developments. Next spring will be time enough to start, if the news should continue favorable. Those who go now will

A STUMPER STUMPED.—The subjoined anecdote of a candidate for tho Legislature of a Western State is worth telling.

There was a stump speaker, and Abner had been on the platform enlightening tho unterrified long and loudly. "Fellow-cit-izens," said he, "I now come to a slanderous report which has been most dastardly circulated against me, from one end of the country to the other. My enemies, not content with endeavoring to ruin my political prospects, have, assassin-like, attempted to blast my good name with their insidious reports." Abner then stated what the rumor was, and continued: "I rejoice, my fellow-citizens to have it in my power instantly to fasten the lie npon this malicious and atrocious slander. I see among yon one of the most estimable citizens of the country, whose character for truth and integrity is above question.— Squire Schooler, to whom I allude, is acquainted with all the facts, and I call on him here to say true or false. I pause for a reply." Whereupon 'Squire Schooler slowly arose, and in his strong, slow sonorous voice, said: "I rather think you did it Abner!" "You old scoundrel!" oxclaimed Abner, "why clo you interrupt me while I am discus-sing great constitutional questions, with your low personalities?"— And he accompanied the objugatory exlamation with such a "surge" of gesticu

SEJ.F-CONTROL.

A 'merchant in London had a dispute with a Quaker respecting the settlement of an account. The merchant was determined to bring the account into court, a proceeding which the Quaker earnestly deprecated, using every argument in his power to convince the merchant of his error but the latter was inflexible. Desirous to moke a last effort, the Quaker called at his house one morning an| enquired of the servant if his master wa§ at home. The merchant hearing the inquiry and knowing his voice, called out from the top of the stairs. "Tell the rascal lam not at home." The Quaker looking up to him calmly said, "Well, friend. Clod put thee in a better mind." The merchant, struck afterward with the meekness of the reply, and having more deliberately investigated the matter, became convinced that the Quaker was right, and that he was wrong. He requested to see him, and after acknowledging his error, he said, "I have one question to ask you. How were 3-011 able, with such patience, on various occasions,

to bear my abuse?" riend, replied

tho Quaker. "1 will tell thee. 1 was nat-'

urally as hot and violent as thou art. 1 knew that, to indulge this temper was sinfnl and I found it was imprudent, I observed that a man in a passion always spoke loud and I thought if I could control my voice, I should repress my passion. I have therefore,.made it a rule never to let mj voice rise above a certain key and by a carcful observance of this rule, I have, by the blessing of Cfod, entirely mastered my natural temper." The Quaker reasoned philosophically, and the meroant, as every one else may do, benefitted by his example.—Life Illustrated.

come, when needed, in the intervals of bus'ness. Nobody has a right to give the whole day to toil if be does it, be is false to himself and to his friends as he thus neglec's great wants of his nature, and unfits himself to do his work in the best manner.— The sunshine is as briglrf, the wind is as gav, as if pleasure was their sole purpose. The trees and plants areas beautiful—they blossom as sweetly and piay as beautifully with the cool breeze—as if they developed and matured no fruit.

Work and enjoyment are compatible.— Portions of every day should be given to recreations the mind being refreshed and the body relaxed by domestic or social amusement. •••Then, the work would be enjoyed as much as the play. It is a physical pleasure to exercise the muscles after rest, especially if one has been amused during rest. And how buoyant is fhe mind returning to its labor after a frolic with the babies, or a cosy te-te-a-fc-to with Nature! O holy Nature! from thy bosom one goes to his work as a child, at morning, awakes to the wonders of the world.

If one can not enjoy life, all along, as he passes through it, he can never enjoy it.— If he toil unremittingly, till he finds the leisure of life, ho will find no enjoyment in that leisure —nothing will exist to vitalize it. Life will be to him a failure, as respects earth.

We shall not solve the problem of life till we learn to enjoy it as it flies. Then, it will solve itself.

A Wife Deserts lierllnflmnd—Is Caught —Kepents—Returns and then Eloprs Again.

We see no reason why a series of facts that have for Feveral days fnrni.-hed tho tea-table gossip of sundry and divers circles, should longer be kept out of the papers.

On Friday night last the wife of Geo.T. Shaw, a highly respectable photographist on Main, deserted her home, and in company with a fellow named Win. A. Loyd, formerly somewhat known in this community, once publisher of a pennj- paper in Cincinnati an now we believe a resident Philadelphia, fled. Mr. Shaw procured the service of a policeman and arrested the guilty party at Shelbyville. The truant wife returned, protested that she was repentant, and would ever after be constant.

Woman-like, however, she demonstrated her inconstancy, and on Monday evening again fled, getting on the train at the pa to Lexington, and thence to Paris and on to Maysville, where it is supposed they intend taking a boat for the East.

Mr. Shaw left yesterday on a second chase, but arrived at Lexington after the birds had flown. He was, however, fortunate in securing the baggage of the entire party, with which he returned to the city last evening.

The unfortunate lady is possessed of considerable personal charms, and she has heretofore been highly regarded. Our citizens sympathize with Mr. Shaw, whose domestic happiness has been thus ruthlessly disturbed.—Louisville Democrat.

JCSTThey speak of a man in Maine who is strong enough to lift a barrel of pork with his teeth. This is not remarkable.— We know a man—an aged man, too—who has lifted several barrels of pork with his teeth.—Exchange.

We know a more remarkable personage than either of them. He is of unbounded stomach—has been known to swallow one hundred and sixty acres of land, with all the improvements, four three story brick houses, and a good sized country tavern— principally in bad whiskey.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

ELDEN MATT OX POLYGAMY. Elder Pratt then took up the subject of polygamy and challenged tho world to put their finger upon a single passage in the Bible. Book of Mormon, Book of Doctrine and Covenants, a saying of an Apostle, a Prophet, Angel, or Jesus Christ himself, that said that it was a crime.

The nations of Christendom, he said, in their marriage institution had adopted an xid Romish custom after which legislatures continued to pattern—thus perpetuating the monogamic system, introduced to encourage licentiousness—enacting laws to punish that which is just as virtuous as it in to have two children.

Tho Latter Dny Saints he continued are looking for a more pure order of things. When Jesus comes they expect he will bring a holy and pure people with him—

says: "In order to improve all these advantages, an expedient was adopted, which is not new, indeed, but which appears now under quite different circumstances. The brothers Goddard, of aeronautic repute, who came some time ago provided with their best apparatus, made yesterday in the afternoon, their first experiment at Castelnedolo. One of them made an ascent in a small balloon to explore the position of the enemy beyond the Chiese. Having first mounted on the campanile to take the bearings, and make himself acquainted with the country, he entered his little skiff and went up in the air, with a regularity which, according to those who saw the ascent, showed he was master of his eccentric conveyance. He rose to a hight [sic] of from 500 to 700 yards, stopped for a minute or so, and then descended again with as much regularity as he had shown in ascending.

As you remember, under Napoleon I., attempts were made to acquire information of tho enemy's position by these means, but in the then state of aeronautic, experiments, not much could be made out of these means. '"Now aeronauts pretend to have succeeded in regulating the movements of their balloons with tolerable accuracy, and certainly (he many successful ascents seems proof of a certain proficiency. There will be plenty of opportunities to put this to the test, and if the result would be satisfactory, it will be a formidable weapon in the hands of him who knows how to use it best. The greatest difficulty in warfare is that you know the movements of your adversary only imperfectly, or not at all, for each army is surrounded by outposts which hide all that is going on bahiinl, and many a general who is blamed as an imbecile would be judged quite differently if it was known on what information of the enemy's movements he had based his plans. Of course, a military genius, who knows his adversary well, can, even on imperfect information, more or less divine his movements, but in nine cases out of ten the ordinary run of Generals make their greatest blunders for want of information. "What, for instance, would not the Austrian General at Mortara had given had he been able to peep over the Po and see those endless battalions and squadrons hurry off thence to the Sesia or if he could have seen

them passing this latter river in thousands ber of Buffalo: while tho fight at Paleslry was going ou He might have brought up his whole army within twelve hours and attacked the allies on their march, while, perhaps, half of their army was ou one and the other on the opposite bank of the Sesia. "If, then, the experiments of Messrs. Goddard are successful, the intelligence department of the allied armies will have acquired a most fruitful source of information. There are, of course, cannon balls which may stop up this source in a second but artillery has now and then considerable diffibulties in touching bodies that move slowly, or not at all, so there is very little chance of its being able to hurt an object flying through the air."

USEFUL HIXT.—If a man faints away, instead of yelling out like a savage, or running to him to lift him up, lay him at full length on his back on the floor, loosen the clothing, push the crowd away so as to allow the ah to reach him, and let him alone. Dashing water over a person in a simple fainting fit is barbarity. The philosophy of a fainting fit, is, the heait fails to send the proper supply of blood to the brain if the person is erect, that blood has to be thrown up hill but if lying down, it has to bo projected horizontally, which requires less power, as is apparent.

A Happy Man.

A zealous devine who had prayed earnestly that God would teach him the perfect way of truth, was directed to go to a certain place, where he would find an instructor. When he came to the place he found a man in ordinary attire, to whom he wished a good morning. "I never had a bad morning," replied the man. "That is very singular I wish you may always be so fortunate." "I was never unfortunate," said he. "I hope you will always be as happy," said the divine I am never unhappy," said the other. "I wish," said the divine, "that you would explain yourself a little." That I will cheerfully do," said he. "I said that I never had a bad morning for every morning, even if I am pinched with hunger, I praise God. If it rains, or snows, or hails, whether the weather is serene or tempestuous, I am still thanthful to God, and therefore I never have a joyless morning. If I am miserable in outward circumstances, and despised, I still praise God. You wish that I might always be fortunate but I cannot be unfor'nate, because nothing befalls me but according to the will of God and I believe that his will is always good, in whatever he does, or permits to be done. Yon wished me always happy but I cannot be unhappy. because my will is always resigned to the will of God." "But what if God should thrust you down to hell?" "I have two arms, faith and love, with which I would hold on to m^r God and Savior, and not let him go and I would rather be in hell with God than in Heaven without him." The Divine, astonished at the man's answers, asked him whence he came. "I came from God," he replied. "Where did you find God?" "Where I left the world."— "Where did you leave him?" With the pure in heart." "What are you?" "I am a king." "Where is your kingdom?', "It. is within my own bosom. I have learned to rule my appetites and passions and that is belter than to rule any kingdom in the world." "How were you brought into this happy condition?" "By secret prayer nnd, spiritual meditation, and union with God. Nothing below God could satisfy my desires. I have found him, and in him have peace and rest."

Uses of Ice.

In health, no one ought to drink ice water for it has occasioned fatal inflamation of the stomach ami bowels, and sometimes sudden death. The temptation to drink it is very great in summer to use it at all with any saftv, the person should fake but a single swallow at a time, take tho glass from the lips for half a minute, and then another swallow, and so on. It will be found that in this way it becomes disagreeable after a few mouthfnlls.

On the other hand, ice itself may be taken as freely as possible, not only without injury, but with the most striking advantage in dangerous forms of disease. If broken in sizes of a pea or bean, and swallowed as freely as practicable, without much chewing or crushing between the teeth, it will often be efficient in curing various kinds of diarrhoea, and has cured violent cases of Asiatic cholera.

A kind of cushion of powdered ice kept to the entire scalp, has allayed violent inflamation of the brain, and arrested fearful convulsions induced by too much blood there. Water, as cold as ice can make if, applied freely to the throat, neck and chest, with a sponge or cloth, very often affords an almost miraculous relief and if this be followed by drinking copiously of the same ice cold element, the wetted parts wiped dry. and the child be wrapped up well in the bed clothes it falls into a delightful and life-living slumber. All inflamation, internal and external, are promptly subdued by the application of ice or ice wafer, because it is converted

A piece of ice laid on the wrist, will often arrest violent bleeding of the nose. To drink any ice cold liquids at meals retards digesition, chills the body, & has been known to induce the most dangerous internal congestions.

If ice is put on milk or on butter, and these are not used at the time, they lose their freshness, and become sour and stale for the essential nature of both is changed, when once frozen and then thawed.—Hall's Journal of Health.

A Million of Buffalo.

Horace Greeley, writing from the plaius makes the following estimate of the num-

What strikes the stranger with most amazement, is their immense numbers.— I know a million is a great many, but I am confident we saw that number yesterday. Certainly all we saw could not have stood on ten square miles of ground. Often the country for miles on either hand seemed quite black with them. Tho soil is rich and well matted with their favorite grass. Yet it is all (except a very little on the creok bottoms, near to timber) eaten down like an overtaxed sheep-pasture in a dry August. Consider that we have traversed more than one hundred miles in with since we first struck them, and that for the most of tho distance the Buffalo have been constantly in sight, and that they continue for some twenty-five miles further on—this being the breadth of their present range, which has a length of perhaps a thousand miles and you have some approach to an idea of their countless millions. I doubt whether the domesticated horned cattle of the United States equals the numbers, while they must fall considerably short in weight of these wild ones.

An Eloquent Extract

"Generation after generation," says fine writer, "have felt as we now feel, and their lives were as active as oar own.— Tney passed like a vapor, while nature wore the same aspect of beauty, as whan her Creator commanded her to be. The heavens shall be as bright over our graves as they now are around our paths. The world will have the same attractions for our offspring yet unborn, that she had once for our children. Yet a little while, and all will have happened. The throbbing heart will be stifled, and we shall be at rest. Our funeral will wind its way. prayers will be said, and then we shall be left alone in silence and darkness for tha worms. And it may be, for a short time, we shall be spoken of, but the things of life will creep in, and our names will soon be forgotten. Days will continue to move on, and laughter and song will be heard iu the room in which we died and the eye that mourned for us will be dried, and glisten again with joy and even our children will cease to think of us, and will not remember to lisp our names."

A pew in the meeting-house is thus advertised for sale in the Amherst (Mass.) Express:

For Sale—A pew in the meeting-houso of the first parish iu Amherst. The man that owns the pew owns the right of a space just as wide and just as long as tho pew is, from the bottom of the meetinghouse to the top of the roof, and he can go as much higher as he can get. If a man will buy my pew and sit in it on Sundays and repent and be a good man, he will go to Heaven if God lets him go. Lc-t a man start from the right place, let him go right, keep right, do right, and he will go to Heaven at last, and my pew is as good a place to start from as any pew in the meet-ing-house. The Bible says: "Have charity, love, mercy, walk humbly, deal justly, and thou shalt bo accepted." I guess the Bible tells the truth.

Final Packing

For keeping butter, for family or neighborhood use, I know of no vessel preferable to stone crocks, containing two or three gallons each. In these crocks pack the butter in layers of such thickness as will be convenient for use, sprinkling a little salt between each layer this sprinkling is for convenience in extracting tho butter for use. Continue until the crock is nearly full then cover it with a fine cioth. on which place a layer of half an inch thick then fill with strong brine, and cover with a stone cover and the work ia done.

If the directions given in this essay aro followed with the skill and tact of practico butter may at any time be extracted from said crock, that good judges will pronounce A No. 1.

Even inferior may be kept unchanged, if it be kept cold, and the air entirely excluded. I once, in very warm weather, suspended a package of once worked butter in a deep well: through accident it fell to the bottom. Several years after, on

on scraping away the dirt which had gathered on the surface, the butter proved to be unchanged in quality. From this fact, a hint may be derived that to keep it cool and exclude tho air, will aid in pieserving the good qualities of packed butter.—Main Farmer.

Unconscious Bores.

We have a hearty sympathy for the Inert and women who are bores, and who are ignorant of the fact. There are bores who know themselves such, and rather pride on it. But the class who are blind to the fact demands our sympathy. One never wishes to hurt their feellings by informing them of their tediousness, and they remain in the delightful illusion that they are the most agreeable creatures extant. Wo rather incline to the opinion that it requires smartness to be a bore. We have seen ft great many clever men who were beyond cavil very great bores in society. It not unfrequently occurs that one of studious habits, unused to mixing with the world, when brought in contact with those of opposite tastes, renders himself a bore by extreme anxiety to assimilate for the time being with his companions. Yet those who hide a yawn wbilo he is present, and abuse him for a bore after he has gone, seldom, take this into consideration.
