THE LOVER’S DREAM. BY O. L. MARION. Adieu! my lore; farewell forever! God knows when we m»y meet again; • Onr vowe of love Ifnow must never, Although ’twill rend my heart In twain. Wonldst thon know why I would leave thee? Ask it of thine own false heart: Tl»ou know'st thy guilt, but wouldst deceive me, Knew I not the shameful part. We vowed our love—my soul I I love thee still; But thou wert false and loved me not. Which doth my heart with vengeful hatred fill Toward Mm for whom I am forgot. 1 marked thee with him wandering off. He looked fair, yet a serpent in love’s guise, Whose love, professed, at yours doth scoff; Vet him you love, but not as love the wise. Thus we part; I, broken-hearted, betrayed By one who seemed so pure and sweet; The fair Elysium where once we strayed Is now a desert ’neath thy feet. Oh! thou creature, bold and defiled! ' I‘is true thy soul doth bear a stain, Yet, with the innocence of a child, Thou say'st thy heart doth pure remain. Ah ! woman, well may thy blushes spread, For guilt I read in those false eyes, By whose once-pure beams my own wore sod No I Mercy I give thee none; arise! The maid arose from where in grief she’d s:nk; Those cruel words were rashly spoken; She deserved them not—her soul it shrank, And thus she wailed in accents broken: “Nay—nay, love—not s i—you wrong me much; Why wouldst thou seek my love to prove? My soul's ne’er known the poisoned touch, To turn my heart from him I love. “Wherefore, Gerald, this blind endeavor To blast my life, and thine as well? lam innocent, now as ever; Believe me, love, the truth I tell.” lie stood; and gazed on the maiden's face. 1 hi n cruelly laughed, and waved his hand; "Thou once to me wert living grace, But canst now no more my heart command.” tihe shrieked, and wildly then her love embraced, While in her breast fleree pas-ion reigned. Site weeping cried, “My love, 1 siiil am chaste— My love for thee has true lcmained.” The lightning flashed, the thunder roared, And startled much the dreamer awoke. A maiden on him kisses pour- d, And gently his fair brow did stroke. “Thank God ! Oh. Gerald, art thou waked at last? Methought tliee dead, when I saw thee tirst; Oh, love! had you from sweet existence passed, My heart would sure with anguish burst.” lie raised his throbbing head, ami wild looked ’round; “How came I hero? Have I been ill?” Hu asked. Ho gazed at Fau.ine, then the ground, As wond’ring was lie dreaming still. While gentle hands did smooth his brow, A loving voice stole to his ear; “No, not ill: you have hut slept—now Ask no more, hut come, the storm is near.’’ Toward the dottagenow they wander. The strollers view the half ve,led Venus; “1.-ve. let s e’er he true as that orb yonder— Ut never a doubt come between us." ••l’ray. dear Gerald, why speak you thus? i'll couldst thou ever my love? I’id I e’er aught you deemed infamous That should bo trowued ou from above?” Then wretched Gerald told what he had dreamed, While Pauline listened pale and still; “Thank God ’iwas not true as it hid seemed. O’i. forgive me. love,you surely will?’’ ■Ki rgive you. Gerald? Yes, my love. I do. And rejoice 'twas but a dream, now o'er; But endeavor, dear. I beseech of you, T 1 dream such dreams as this no more.” Bloomington. 111.

OLD-TIME REMINISCENCES.

Aristocracy and Its Opposite In tlie South Compared. BY W. W. Tn delineating the leading characteristics and peculiarities of the different sections dealt with in these chapters concerning Southern life, it must be borne in mind steadily that the difference in traits between the people of the highlands and lowlands was, to the most casual observer, very marked, even of the people of the same State. Where the habits of the one, from their mode of living, were very simple and unpretentious, of course causing an absence of rigid etiquette, or indeed of what may be considered etiquette at all, the other class, with their large plantations their hosts of servants, their formal dinner parties and so on’ made all this the occasion of a code of politeness and exaction of deference, if possible, very far removed from the free-and-easy life experienced in cabins Hud oftentimes in hunting camps among the hills. One of the plain and obvious results of this was that in any after-dinner quarrel growing out of too much jollification or too much sensitiveness, or in a row on court-day upon some occasion of public speaking and partisan heat, while the mountaineers not in possession of those expensive and deadly luxuries—Colt’s revolvers—would proceed ou the instant to settle it by what they euphoniously termed “ skull-dug-gory,” the lowland gentlemen would just as unhesitatingly proceed to settle like differences with the bowie-knife or the pistol. “Honor” was always “ pricking them on,” until the result was that they were more seusitive uud fearful concerning public sentiment than they were of what might promise to bo a deadly combat with, possibly in some instances, their best friends; . aU( t the cases are numerous enough where, out of such hasty and mistaken action, not infrequently resulted tragedies winch seemed in the end quite as deplorable to the victor as the vanquished in some bloody street-fight. I remember one of these, a cowinding match and subsequently a street fight, between two young men, lawyers, who had been like brothers, the quarrel springing out of something perfectly trivial in its nature. The result of it was that one of them was shot dead by the other on the street, and although, as usual where influential friends stood ready to avert from the slayer the penalties of the law, that did not trouble mm, he all his life carried a Nemosis in Ins own soul that amply avenged the murdered man. An old neighbor told me that the slayer would never sleep without u light in his own room, and that a constantly recurring dream through life was tlyit his victim had him down, while the blood from the fatal wound in his forehead was flowing over his slayer and suffocating him; a hideous niffhtmare than which the imagination of Dante could liardTy conjure up anything more terrible. As for law and its extreme penalties in such cases, it must be acknowledged that a horse-thief, if caught, stood a much better chance of punishment. He lias killed his man,” was a phrase that in many sections of the lower country carried with it something of deference to the individual thus indicated, and I shall never forget the aspect of matters in a court-room once, in a county in Tennessee rather noted, with others adjoining, for its lawlessness in avenging of individual wrongs or ins?ase5 ?ase wa « one of aggravated, cold-blooded murder, the man who did the deed being a noted desperado. Herculean in size and ferocious in aspect, he had fancied a deadly insult in some trifling remark made by an unthinking young fellow who had been drinking and so the ruffian, taking the law into jus own hands, procured a doublebarreled shot-gun, charged it heavily MUth buck-shot, and, hearing of the arrival of his victim in the village some weeks afterward, coolly hunted him down, and, in the most dastardly wav, emptied one barrel, with fatal effect, into his body. A comrade of the murdered man offering to help his friend into an adjoining house, lie, too, was threatened with the other barrel by the burly ruffian, and, as he told me afterward “seeing the devil in the villain’s nev< r talked so pretty in his life, fortunately with Borne effect, for the gun was lowered and he was suffered to help his poor friend and to go unhurt himself. Well, the court-room v here this trial took place was a curiosity. Not more than eighty or opp frupdred people were

present, so little was the event a startling one in that quarter; the greater part of the spectators were inside the bar chatting and laughing with the lawyers and overlooking their shoulders and their documents; the Sheriff was walking up and down the court-room smoking a pipe, and. the Judge, a notorious sloven, although reputed an able jurist, with long, unkempt hajf, shirtcollar open and cravatless, and with the wild, dissipated look of one who had been drinking all night, was walking up and down nervously on the little platform which was his oatlook on the proceedings. As for the prisonei be seemed in no wise concerned, nor, as it afterward resulted, need he have been, for he was never brought to even nominal punishment. As for the other mode of settling personal difficulties—the hill country method—nothing could be more plain and summary, “Walk with me, sir;” and the ground reached, possibly behind the Court House or some vacant lot close by, all the preparation besides that was needed was the stripping off of a butternut-colored or blue linsey hunting shirt, when a mixing up of limbs, a thumping and pulling of hair, and anything else done that could make a chap “knock under ” was entered upon with fierce vigor, but in a promiscuous manner that utterly defied all rules. No boxing, no “science” here. But if, after getting out of wind, in a fierce attempt to throw each other, one could get the other down, and the thumb or ekr betwixt his teeth, until the pressure would make him sing out “enough,” the victor let him up, or he was pulled off, and a dose of “tangle-foot” did the rest; the feud would end there. It was such eases as those first-above noted, however, or those close akin to them, that gave many portions of the South a reputation for a lawless disregard of life; such as in the long run has proved of the most serious detriment to its substantial advancement; and I have only given those two cases out of many with which I became acquainted, in order to indicate the marked difference there was in the modes of settling personal difficulties between individuals of the same section, but of different manners and habits, growing out of difference of locality and diverse ways of living. As for fighting, per se, and from something like an admiration and love for it, there is no denying the soft impeachment, abundantly enough exemplified, however, by the demonstrated alacrity with which they entered upon the late war. And a funny illustration of the readiness for a “scrimmage,” no matter with what or whom, at almost any time, I had indicated to me one day in Tennessee, when a rough-looking feliow, sturdy, bushy-headed and truculent looking, fell in my way, who I was assured had in a fair fight and on as small a wager as a quart of whisky, whipped a full-grown bear! It seemed that Bruin belonged to a menagerie passing through that section, and some one, in the presence of the bully, haviug chanced to vaunt the bear’s “ boxing abilities,” all “stuff and humbug,” he said, he “could himself whip the bear in a fair stand-up fight.” The wager was made, and although, sure enough, the bear was a good fighter, yet the human brute managed to get in so many savage licks on Bruin’s nose— his weak spot—that he was fain to turn tail at about the seventh or eighth round and fairly quit the field. As for other occurrences nearing upon social standing and appreciation, or that stamped one or another community as peculiar, there was freedom of action and sentiment tolerated sometimes upon occasions that would have seemed to an outsider quite remarkable. For instance, in a certain polished community down there, the best hotel in the place was for many years kept by an excellent colored man, who, adding to the fact that he could keep a good hotel another good characteristic, that he knew how to raise his own family carefully and respectably, had thereby won the respect and esteem of the numerous guests who had had the benefit of his establishment, and among these the lawyers of the place. In the peculiar condition of things then existing there, for it was a long time previous to the war, this was a good deal for one so situated to accomplish; and the test of this esteem came when, his dauglitor being about to get married, it was determined by his aristocratic friends, the lawyers and numerous others, to compliment the young lady with a ball. Well, the affair went off pleasantly, the leading lawyers dancing with the guests of their host, and the whole occurrence was a signal instance at that time of how far prejudice and habit could be overcome upon occasion. But the real fun of the thing, perhaps, came out some twenty years afterwards, when an old merchant of the same community, who when the grand frolic was given was rather obscure, being called as a witness in court, and in connection with some issue of the period when the ball took place was asked “whether he attended that colored ball?” “No, may it please the court,” was his reply, “I didn’t belong to the aristocracy at that time!” Speaking of “aristocracy,” perhaps there is no State in the Union where anything like exclusiveness, pretension, or what is comprised in the expressive term, being “ stuck up,” has been less tolerated than in Kentucky, for, however there have been iu that State men of commanding talent in national affairs, it was a treat to see statesmen like Crittenden, Clay, and others there consorting with their plain constituents at home, there being no mistake whatsoever about a hearty and appreciated reciprocity of feeling such as was innate, sincere to the last degree of sincerity. And, in illustration of that sturdy dislike of anything like “putting on airs,” a story is told of a Kentuckian who, upon one occasion, found himself in a Mississippi steamer below Louisville, and who felt glad of a chance to rebuke a bit of assumption as trifling as it was ridiculous. As most people know, there isn’t much to amuse people on a trip as monotonous as that usually experienced on a Mississippi steamer; and, as every occasion is seized upon for a little fun, it behooves every sensitive man to be on his guard not to furnish it, or to take good-naturedly, if he can, what falls to his share. In this particular instance, a certain Gen. C., of Philadelphia, was making a tour West and South; but, when he got on the boat in question, to his regret, and perhaps disgust, he discovered that the forks on the dinner table were not silver, but only steel. Having a traveling case with him, he took out of it a silver fork, and, taking the steward of the boat into his confidence, told him to put the fork away, and, when he got seated at the table, to hand it to him. The steward was nettled at the imputation upon his table furniture, and, betraying his mission, it reached the ears of Ahe Kentuckian in question. Going ashore at the first wood-yard where the boat landed, he procured a forked stick about a yard long, trimmed it up, handed it also to the steward, and awaited events. Some of the other passengers were also posted, so that when dinner was served all were on the alert to see the fun. Having achieved a seat, for in a crowded steamer that feat could not always be accomplished at the first table, the little General was obliged to ask the Bteward to “bring him that fork!” At once it was brought, and, with a low bow, laid beside the Gepprjd’s plate,

Thereurxm the Kentuckian called out loudly * for his “fork!” The movement by the steward being also repeated in due form, the passengers rose up and gave three cheers. The little General couldn’t stand that and the laugh which followed, for he had no ability to pass it off as a good joke. He went to the Captain and complained of it as an “insalt;” bat all the comfort he got was to be told that he “really was too big a man to travel on that little boat—that in walking about on it he might overset it, and, therefore, he had better go ashore at the first opportunity ;” and go ashore he did! The first Kentuckians were certainly anything else than aristocrats, and the “ burgoo soup ” gatherings of their descendants, designed to keep np the remembrance of hard times in the outset, were evidence of the spirit and feelings which prevailed on that soore. Upon these occasions a grand hunt was instituted, the game brought in, and, if deer, turkeys, ducks, rabbits, squirrels, or what not, was all consigned to one hnge kettle to make one great olla podrida; and, with mussel-shells procured from Green river for spoons, calabashes for soup-bowls, and pieces of bark for plates, the descendants of the pioneers, the wealthiest and humblest together, nsed to sit under thp trees and try to remind themselves of the “ pit whence they were digged.” It would have been a sight worth witnessing to note the advent of a silver fork at one of those gatherings. And, indoed,it did not take that kind of reminder to stamp the memories and hardships and adventures of the past in the minds and hearts of those who followed and profited by them. Such names as Lost Kettle creek and Greasy Bock spring, with numberless others quite as significant, have served to mark, step by step, the adventures of the first comers, since most localities were designated, in their simple way, with the occurrence indicating some incident in their travels and eamping-plaoes. Lost Kettle creek, for instance, speaks fully for itself; but Greasy Rock spring is said to have gotten its name from the numbers of hunters who, in their greasy hunting-shirts, laid themselves down on the rock there to get a drink, and of course leaving the marks of their long-worn and greasy costumes on the spot. The constant use of bearmeat, more oily than bacon, conduced much to the condition indicated. Speaking of “ hears,” “ reminds me ” of something, as our illustrious and lamented statesman used to say. On one occasion, one of the pioneers from the eastern portion of the State, who was down at the State capital at Frankfort, attended a grand Legislative ball. Of course, when he returned, his wife and the neighbors wanted to know all about it, as it was reported “ fashionable,” and they had but an approximate idea of what that could be. “ Well,” said the old gentleman, when I first came to the State, a good many of our people dressed in bea7’-skins, but they wasn’t the wimmin, they was the men. But times must be harder now than they was then, for the prettiest girls I saw at the ball down there were dressed m beautiful bare-skins —sure.” [Alluding to the bare necks and arms, which, however fashionable, quite “ obfuscated ” him.] Chicago, 111.

Kissing the Baby.

While Col. Allen was discussing national finances, Col. Tom Crittenden quietly slid off the platform and circulated among the crowd. He wore a delicate white duck suit, blue necktie ai d patent-leather pumps, and was the cynosure of all female eyes on the premises. Col. Tom, with an eye to business, began ogling the babies. “Oh, you sweet little darling,” said Col. Tom, addressing a fuzzy, pop-eyed brat that lolled lazily in its mother’s arms under one of the trees; “how old is it, ma’am?” “Four months, sir,” said the fond mother. “A little girl, eh?” said Col. Tom. “No, a boy,” replied the mother. “Ah, yts, now that I come to look at it more closely, I detect the strong, manly features of a boy,” the Colonel hastened to say. “Please may I kiss the little cherub?” Col. Tom shut his eyes and exploded an osculatory sound on the fuzzy face, and the child put up a big lip and threatened to cry. “He if such a beautiful child,” murmured Col. Tom, “such eyes, such a head, such an expanse of forehead,such a mouth, such a wealth of complexion, such a sweet, tranquil expression!” “La me, you don’t really think so, do you?” simpered the flattered mother. “I never saw a sweeter little cherub,” said Col. Tom; “I believe I shall have to kiss him again.” Having gone through a second osculatory martyrdom, Col. Tom assumed a seraphic look—a look calculated t© strike taffy to the most hardened feminine heart, and got right down to business. “I am a candidate for Governor,” said he, “and nothing would give me greater joy than to feel that I have the support of the father of this sweet babe. Come, let me hold the little darliDg in my arms. I do think he is just the sweetest little angel I ever saw.” The flattered mother gave up the fussy baby with profuse apologies about its not being well dressed, etc., hoped it wouldn’t trouble the gentleman, etc., glad to know he admired it so much, etc. The fuzzy baby writhed and squirmed and grew red iu the face, and wrinkled itself all up and belched a trifle, and then lay calm and composed on Col. Tom’s strong right arm. “The little precious!” cried Col. Tom. ‘You’ll tell his father how much I thought of the little cherub, won’t you, ma’am? And you’ll tell him I'm a candidate for Governor, eh, ma’am?” The poor woman’s face dropped, and big, salt tears came into her eyes. Oh, sir,” she said, “you don’t know what you ask—my poor husband died of the jaunders two months ago.” There was a far-off look in Col. Tom Crittenden’s golden-glinted eyes as he gently but firmly dumped that fuzzy baby on the bereaved woman’s lap and walked straight back to the platform and replaced himself on a bench. — St. Louis Times-Journal.

A Poor Scribe.

In a recent debate in the Peers, Lord Denman scoffed at the reporters of the press as a nuisance, and is repaid by the publication of his reasons for disliking newspaper people. It appears that his Lordship once wrote to the editor of a morning paper, complaining that he had been imperfectly reported, and supplying in a postscript the purport of what he said, which he desired should be published. The editor politely explained that Lord Denman had not been reported because he was inaudible in the gallery, and that, while he had every disposition to do justice to the noble lord, he could not print his version of the speech because the printers were unable to read his manuscript. The following carefully-prepared table shows the chances professional men have of catching fish when they go fishiDg: Doctors, 7 in 56; lawyers, 3 in 50; editors, 10 in 50; artists, 2 in 50; architects, 12 in 50; book-keepers, 8 in 50; merchants,*l3 in 50; professors, 1 in 50; unknown small boy with straw hat and broken suspender, 49 in 50.

FARM NOTES.

[Bonl, Jr., In Chicago Tribune.] Robbing Bees.—During the interval between summer and antnmn flowers, bees are apt to get into the habit of robbing. They therefore peed frequent visits during the day; and, if they have already begun, remove the victimized hive to some dark place for a day or two. Bobbers may generally be known by the manner in which they fly, with their heads toward the hive. The hog crop this season will not be so large as last. This is caused by disease and* the usual falling-off because of low prices. The enormous crop of com now ripening will make cheap feed, and the demand for hog-products in Europe will have a tendency to enhance the price of live hogs. Every one who has hogs should now take the best of care of them, and make them realize as much as possible. Planting Strawberries. —Autumn planting of strawberry vines is never to be recommended, except where necessity requires them to be set out. Good, rich soil, and strong, healthy plants, will sometimes, if the season is favorable, produce a tolerably fair crop of fruit the next year. The leaves should be reduced to one or two, and, if the sun is hot, the plants must be covered from the rays. Wilson’s Albany, Crescent seedling, and Charles Downing are good varieties. Balky Horses.—A correspondent of the New York Tribune gives the following as a care for refractory horses: My method with balky horses—and I think it equally good in case of kicking or backing in harness, or running away—has proved very successful with my team, requires but a moment in its exec i tion, and is not, I think, in the least inhumane. I take a strong string (three-ply broom twine is the best), long enough to reach from the horse’s neck to the carriage, fasten one end around the horse’s neck in a hard knot, so the loop will not slip, bring the throat latch through the loop to prevent the string from working back on the neck. When the horse balks do not strike at or about him, but sit quietly in your seat and pull on the string until you choke him. If the horse is very stubborn you may have to choke him severely, but he will be willing to pull before he is choked down. Two of these chokings will render him afraid to balk. I tried this on my team last fall, and have had no trouble with them since. Last year, at this time, there was a great deal of talk about tiling. This year, not so much is said, but a great deal more is done; still there are men who last year were fully convinced that they would tile-drain, but the dry season has removed for the time being the necessity, and they have become lukewarm. A couple of average dry seasons would, in a measure, eradicate all thought of tile-draining from the minds of most farmers. This ought not to be so, because no man can tell when his crops may be failures from an extensive rainfall; hence every one should be prepared. The proper season for tiledraining is when the soil is dry and the farmer at leisure. In a majority of cases no better time will be found than the present. The plow may be used to a considerable extent, and the labor be thereby greatly accelerated. Tn covering tile, after a few inches of soil has been thrown in with a spade to keep it in its position, the balance may be replaced with a heavy pole drawn by horses, provided one team is allowed to walk ahead of the other, so that the soil may be drawn to the center. It is not such a big job, after all, to lay in a few rods of tile, if one only goes at it rightly. Traveling Agents.— One would suppose, from the number of times that swindlers and their games have been exposed through the press, that it would be impossible for them to ply their trade, especially among the farmers, the majority of whom usually are subscribers to some newspaper. Every day we read of some one having been swindled by a new game. The favorite one this year appears to have been the “ agency ” dodge. It takes quite a philosopher to resist the flattery of these fellows. When a man’s egotism has been sufficiently excited, he easily falls a dupe to almost any trick. Windmills, wagonjacks, churns, washing-machines, barbwire and sulky-plows are all favorites in their season. In most cases the agents send the goods—hence there can be no plea of fraud. There is no law against a man making a fool of himself, and, if he signs papers without reading them, no one will sympathize greatly if he gets swindled. The greatest inducement in this whole business is the expectation of getting something for nothing. The giving away of a sample machine almost always disarms suspicion.

A Printer in Trouble.

There was a compositor not only discharged from the San Jose (Cal.) Herald the other day, but also fired down four flights of stairs by the infuriated foreman of that admirable journal. It seems that the typo was requested to “ liven up ” a certain speech delivered at the Workingmen’s State Convention, held in that town, with the usual marks in brackets. The “jour,” who was carrying a little more beer than was necessary, just then got hold of the wrong proceedings, causing the eloquent resolution of Mr. Van Arman, referring to the death of a member, to read something like this: “Whereas, It pleased Divine Providence to remove from our midst our beloved comrade, Azariah McMuck [loud applause], who has been cut off in the flower of his usefulness [laughter] and promise, it is “Resolved, That we tender to his bereaved family [cheers] and friends our sincere sympathy in their hour of affliction [cries of ‘ Put him out’ and ‘order I ], and assure them, while we humbly bow to the will of [a voice—* Three cheers for Kearney’] Heaven, lament our departed brother [roars of laughter], a fellow-citizen of enlightened mind, statesmanlike views [cries of * Oh, shut up 1 ’ * Let’s adjourn! ’] and broad and generous sympathy for his kind. [Terrific cheers.] He is not lost, but gone befor.e [derisive cries cf * Oh, cheese it! ’ and continued laughter],” etc. In fact, the McMuck widow is husting for that unfortunate printer yet, and cherishes the conviction that he is still hiding in the hills.

The Theory for Noses.

As the forehead grew outward with increasing brain-growth, and as the -jaws retreated backward with decreasing usage, the nasal bone and cartilage were probably pushed forward, as it were, from above and dragged downward from below. These two movements, slowly continued in the plastic development of the organ for many generations, would finally produce just such a shape as that with which we are now familiar. Of course, it must not be supposed that there was ever any actual physical strain, such as would result from any attempt to push or pull a negro’s nose at one trial into the Aryan mold; all that the theory demands is a slightly altered mode of growth to meet the altered circumstances during many thousands of years. The molecules which would once have naturally arranged themselves in one order would later be driven by slightly different attractions and pressures to arrange themselves in another order. And thus it would finally result that man, when compared with the higher

apes, would possess a human nose, and that this nose, short and flat in the , small-browed prognathous negroe, would become relatively large and prominent in the straight-browed, small-mouthed, and delicate-featured Aryan. So that, in the last resort, the nose must be regaided as a product of two other factors, not as a thing in itself. It really depends, if ottr theory be correct, upon the joint action of the increased brain-cover and the decreased jawbone. —The New Quarterly Review.

THE NEVADA WONDER.

Enough Salt for All the Market* of the United States. [From the Virginia City (Her.) Enterprise.] Capt. Rhodes, of Esmeralda county, ■who is in this city, is owner of what is known as Rhodes’ salt marsh, but which is a perfect laboratory of mineral wealth. The valley contains 4,140 acres. It is quite level, and is surrounded on all sides with high volcanic mountains. It is situated about fifteen miles northwest of Columbus. In this little valley is a sufficient amount of salt to supply all the markets of the United States, if not the whole world. A foot or two below the surface is found a solid floor of pure rock salt, as firm and transparent as ice. Indeed, when the sand that covers the surface is stripped off, the salt below bears a very close resemblance to a field of ice. In many places little streams of water bubble up through the mass of salt, and very frequently deep pools are found which look just like air-holes in a frozen lake. The salt made at the marsh is perfectly pure. When a tract of ground has been stripped of the surfaoe soil the salt water rises over the bed of rock salt to the depth of a foot or two. Then crystals of salt begin to form on the surface of the water, and as they form they sink to the bottom. If the salt is to be fine, for table use, workman stir these crystals about with shovels as they settle to the bottom, thus breaking them up. For use in working silver ore, coarse salt is as good as fine, and the solid formation may be dug up with picks, if necessary, but the loose crystals are more readily handled, and as much salt of this kind is formed as can be disposed of. Not only are there inexhaustible stores of salt in the little valley, but immense stores of borax. This borax is of the finest quality known, and 2 or 3 cents per pound more can be obtained for it in Europe than for any other borax sent to that market. Splendid specimens of tincal, or natural crystals of borax, are found in the marsh imbedded in the clay near the surface. Immense quantities of sulphate of magnesia (Epsom salt) and sulphate of soda (glauber salt) in a pure state is also found, but the extent of the deposits is not known. Common potash is found in great abundance, and among the curious specimens to be obtained are what are called “ cotton balls ” (boreate of lime) and fibrous crystalline borax. Also there is found an abundance of an unknown mineral. It is something described in none of the books. It does not appear in the shape of crystals, yet has a regular form of its own, presenting the appearance of branches of corals. It is thought that this may be some new salt. A quantity of it will shortly be sent East for examination.

The Shetlanders.

In no part of the world will a stranger expect less from the appearance of the country and find it more made up by the civilities of the 'inhabitants. Among all ranks this prevails in a high degree, according to their ability. The gentry are famous for hospitality, which even reigns among the poorest sort. Whenever I came (says a recent traveler) I found all willing to do me every service in their power, either by information or otherwise. Their horses and servants were always ready to attend me, and many gentlemen, as well as clergy, wero so obliging as to attend me in different places, and to point out everything worthy the knowledge of the traveler. In a word, a sense of Shetland humanity is so firmly planted in my mind that it is with the greatest pleasure I thus pay them my acknowledgments in the most public manner. On holidays the people of all ranks appear neat and clean, but plainly dressed, without the ornaments of which they were some years ago so extravagantly fond. All ranks live much on animal food, such as fish, flesh, butter and milk, with little bread, which is supplied in some measure by potatoes. Some are a good deal addicted to dram-drinking, as must be the case in fishing countries. The common drink at table, instead of small beer, is grog, a liquor composed of brandy and water, made to the taste of the drinker, but very disagreeable to a stranger. The diseases most prevalent here are coughs, pains of the breast, the neve—an inveterate kind of itch—fluxes, rheumatisms, scurvy and bald leprosy, obstruction of the menses, and a dreadful disease to be found in Unst and Fetlar. The natives of Shetland marry young and are very prolific; yet it is a question whether they increase or not, owing to their way of life. Many accidents at sea they meet with, and which shorten many of their days. The small-pox of late was peculiarly fatal. As to their make, the Shetlanders are generally robust and healthy, are adventurous in fishing, abstemious while at sea, but lazy when they have an opportunity of being so, as I have had occasion to observe.

A Fire That Never Goes Out.

About three years ago the Observer reported the case of a citizen of Mecklenburg county, N. C., who, having married in 1843, lighted a fire on his hearthstone as soon as he carried his bride to his new home and had kept it burning ever since. The citizen was in town yesterday, and, being questioned about the matter, stated that the fire was still burning, and that throughout all these thirty-six years it had never been allowed to go out. Questioned as to whether or not it made the house uncomfortably hot in torrid weather, he said the extra heat thus generated was not perceptible. In reply to another question, he said that in summer weather, when it was necessary for comfort’s sake to keep the fire burning very low, he had to get up frequently at night to replenish it slightly, but that he counted this as nothing when he contemplated the idea of that fire going out. He has evidently formed for it a strong attachment, and yet one would not take him for a sentimental man. But this fire is to him a constant reminder of the day when he first brougnt home his bride. Around it his children have grown up into manhood and womanhood, and their children have gazed into its lights. It was the last light that fell upon the eyes of his wife, and he hopes that it will be the last that will fall upon his. Viewed thus, his sentiment in the matter can be understood, and so strong is this sentiment that with the old man it amounts almost to a passion.— Charlotte (N. G.) Observer. Bed bnow, which is usually found only in Arctic latitudes, is seen on alofty summit near Mount Stanford in the Sierra Nevadas. For several acres the vast drifts are of a beautiful pinkish tint to the depth of three or four inches. It is a beautiful spectacle. One explanation of it is that myriads of minute organisms cover the surface.

Who Has Not Been BIHous?

Probably no one. Doubtless we have all suffered to some extent the disagreeable sensations which a diaoi€ered or languid fixer can inflict Sallowness of the skin, constipation, nausea, vertigo, soreness In the vicinity of the organ affected, a sensation as of congestion in the bead, positive headache, a loss of appetite, extreme thirst, a high color of the urine, are among the symptoms which announce a perversion or vitiation at the bile. The remedy of remedies for the above is Hoetetter’s Stomach Bitters; administered by medical men; pronounced pare and wholesome by them, and popular as a comprehensive family medicine, and as a upecifio preventive and remedy for chills and fever and bilious remittents throughout America, and to a wide extent in foreign countries. Disorders in the stomach and bowels, as well as liver, are speedily remediable with this popular and time-honored medicine.
