They bring us such sad, and thoughts to-tWe'll put them forever out of sight, In the small, dark room up-stairs." But she said, "Father, no, not yet, For I look at them and forget, That the children were away; The boys come back and our face too, Witness her spoon on of checked blue, And sit here every day.

In the spring of 1866, one of the old land stage-coaches on the road between Cheyenne and Omaha was violently overturned by the breaking of an arm and a retired Colonel, who was among the passengers, received injuries there which were at first deemed fatal soon as they could recover from their bewilderment, the other traveler raised the insensitive man from the ground and conveyed him to the house of a ranchman which fortunately was near at hand; and as the family the ranchman agreed to take the most care of the sufferer, and the co- could be "rigged" in such a way as proceed slowly onward, the party included to start again for Omaha, from thence send back a physician There really appeared to be nothing to do under the circumstances; but the passenger, a young gentleman from New York, declared that he would main at the log house. He had been Salt Lake upon business for the politician firm of which he was a junior member; and on the way from the at Cheyenne, became acquainted with the Colonel. Already regarding latter as a friend, he said, it was no his conscience to leave him dying the hands of total strangers, and should remain with him at all hazards until all was over. Adhering to noble resolution he did not ke his position at the bedside, while the others went onward, and with the aid of the hospitable family of the ranch, was present able to restore his patient to consciousness. In fact, the victim of the accident was not so badly injured as had been supposed. Sorely shaken and bruised he surely was, and his years, which were nearly fifty, added to his danger; then he had the constitution of an soldier, and rallying upon that, was a in a few days to resume his journey His gratitude for the generous fide POLHEMUS BRO’S, DEALERS IN AGRICULTRAL IMPLEMENTS.

After two or three days of hospitable enjoyment the Colonel was peremptorily called by business to an other part of the State, and, beseeching his friend to consider himself lord of the manor until his return, went off with a cheery adieu and a light heart. Now, of course, the reader sees what is coming. The wife and friend, left to themselves, paid no heed to the perilous line where friendship ends and another sentiment begins. Reading, riding, boating, strolling together, they gradually for got all but themselves. Alas, poor human nature. At the end of a week the Colonel returned home, and, before he could dismount from his horse, was informed by a stammering servant that his wife and his friend had, on that very morning, gone off together! One great gasp of horrible bewilderment, and the doubly injured man realized all his cativity and knew his instant duty.

Sometimes he w gather rags or scraps of paper and them. Every one supposed him t wretchedly poor.

The French Veteran.—A story of an old French officer, coming to redeem a relic of his martial days, is thus told by a writer from Vaux: We had just finished dinner, and were smoking the post prandtal cigar, when an orderly came in to say that a Frenchman desired to speak to the Commandant of Vaux. "Monsieur le Commandant," said he, Messieurs les officers, I beg of you to be seated; and if Monsieur le Colonel will grant me a few moments, I will not detain him long." A chair was immediately handed him, when he continued: "Monsieur le Colonel, I am, as you see, an old soldier of France, although I am sorry to say that my years and my hard service compelled me long since to relinquish my professoin and to retire to this peaceful village of Lorraine, not to far off for me to hear the reveille and retreat borne to me morning and evening from Metz, and reminding me of days gone by. My poor country is in your hands. I am too much of a soldier not to respect orders. I had the proclamation brought to me that the inhabitants of Vaux should at once bring all their arms to the guard house Mine consisted of a fowling piece and a dagger. It is on the subject of this dagger that I now come to disturb you.

This measure adopted, he repaired sorrowfully to a retired hotel, and there, rather to divert his bitter thoughts than to gratify appetite, he took a seat at a table in the dining-room. Scarcely was he seated, when a sound at an adjoining table called his attention that way, and there were his terrified wife and disloyal friend. Recognition was immediate; the infatuated woman shrieked and fell senseless from her chair; the traitor turner ghastly white, sprang to his feet, and hurried from the room like the abject craven his dishonor had made him. Before midnight the Colonel was on his way, carrying back the wife who would have deserted him, and leaving behind all his trust in human nature. N.Y.World.

Yesterday afternoon we were attracted by a small group collected around a wagoh upon the square. Proceeding to the wagon, we found one of those long-haired, white wanderers so often to be met with in the secluded valleys of the Rocky mountains. His wagon bore evidence of a long journey, and contained a store of Indian trinkets, Indian dogs, bows and arrows, buffalo robes, moccasins, and numerous other curious articles of Comanche and Kiowa manufacture. In the wagon, in the midst of a pile of bear skins and robes, was seated a beautiful child, with dark blue eyes and long curly ringlets, hanging over his sunburnt neck and face, who was prattling in the Indian language to his pet dogs. The wagon and child belonged to the long-haired hunter and mountaineer, whose name is given as H. C. Callender, formerly a resident of Michigan. From him we heard the following: He was a soldier in Gen. Banks' army, and belonged to a Michigan regiment, and was taken prisoner in the disastrous retreat of Banks down Red river. In 1864 he made his escape to the Cherokee nation, and he afterwards settled down as a trapper in the Wichita mountains, where he soon became acquainted with the Kiowas and Comanches, who treated him with unexceptionable kindness. About two years ago he was Michigan. From him we heard the following: He was a soldier in Gen. Banks' army, and belonged to a Michigan regiment, and was taken prisoner in the disastrous retreat of Banks down Red river. In 1864 he made his escape to the Cherokee nation, and he afterwards settled down as a trapper in the Wichitz mountains, where he soon became acquainted with the Kiowas and Comanches, who treated him with unexceptionable kindness. About two years ago he was joined in his lone home by his lovely wife and child, who left the comforts of civilization to join her husband in his life of peril and solitude. He says from the time his wife and child arrived at his wigwam or tepe, the Indians became more sociable and visited him often, the two Comanche chiefs, Tumbling Bear and Tush-a-wah, both taking an almost instant liking for the fair curly-headed child, the former chief offering no less than forty jopones for the little papoose. For hours these old leather-skinned warriors sat and fondled the little pale face, and on one occasion they carried the child away to their village, but its wailings had such an effect upon them that they brought it home to its mother. By close study of the Indian character, Callender was enabled to ward off frequent danger to himself and family and continue to live year after year the life of a wild nomad of the desert. Last June, in a conversation with Tumbling Bear, Callender learned enough to satisfy himself that all was not right among the Kiowas and Comanches, and he became somewhat alarmed about his safety, but received promises from Tumbling Bear and Tush-a-wah that they would give him notification of danger. Accordingly he prepared a wagon and herd and made ready for flight. Not many days afterward the two brave old chiefs visited him and took an affectionate farewell of the favorite papoose and assisted Callender to start out of the mountains. The redskins started out on the warpath the next day. We conversed with the engaging child, who sat playing with two dogs presented him by Tush-a-wah, the Comanche chief. Callender sent his wife by rail to Michigan, while he starts through (by wagon) to-day. His team consists of a pair of Comanche horses of which he is very proud. A CHANCE FOR CAPITAL—The fibre taken from the bulb of the soap plant a product of California, has already become an article of export, and is sent to the States both by steamers and rail. A CHANCE FOR CAPITAL.—The fibre taken from the bulb of the soap plant a product of California, has already become an article of export, and is sent to the States, both by steamer and railroad. It retails in this market at twenty-five cents a pound, brings as much as pulu for mattresses, and by many is considered by far the best and most economical article to use. It lasts pulu, is much cleaner, and does not create such an unpleasant dust. On the ridge above Nevada are hundreds and thousands of acres of soap plant growing as thickly as if it was carefully cultivated. Hundreds and thousands of tons can be had for the mere labor of pulling it up. It is worth when prepared, from ten to twenty-five cents a pound; and yet if we want a pound of it for mattresses, or any other purpose, it has to be purchased in San Francisco! Thus with an important article of export growing spontaneously and in the greatest profusion in our midst, we go two hundred miles away, where it don't grow, buy it and ship it to this locality. This is "home" enterprise with a vengeance.—National Gazette. From a certain bill top in the southern part of Tazewell county, Ill., where the vision extends for twenty miles, nothing can be seen but corn. Astronomers say there are eighteen million suns belonging to our firmament. More than 4,000 such firmaments are visable, and every increase of telescopic power adds to the number. One of the finest qualities in a human being, is a sense or delicacy which renders it impossible for him ever to be an intruder or a bore.
