BY KATE WILDFIRE.
Andy Ca vender was a sad t rider in his
way. There was scarcely n maiden in the
village to whom he had not made love at
one time or another, and all as a pleasant
piece of pastime; not seeming to under
stand that maidens' hearts were fender
thing!;, and liable to be hurt in the handling.
Many tears had been caused to flow Irom
beautiful eyes, yet, if he knew of the fact,
it did n'it appear to give him serious con
cern. 1 here was always a smile on his
ps and a light word on his tongue.
At last, however, Andy's heart received
an impression. I he image ot a lair young
irl rested upon it ; not as of old, like the
image in a speculem, to pass with the ob
ject, but like the sun fixed image of a Da
guerreotype. Strange fact! the fickle,
ght-hearted Andy Lavender was in love ;
really and truly in love.
There had come to Woodland to pass a
w months during the warm summer-time,
city maiden, whose charms were too po
tent lor the village flirt. He came, he saw,
and was conquered. It was soon plain to
every one that it was all over with Andy
Cavender. Kate the lively, witty, dar
ling Kate Archer had suhdued him with
her charms, though all unconscious herself
ol the conquest she had made.
Bnt others saw what she perceived not,
and looked on curious for the issue.
What do you think of this, Jenny ?' said
Kate Archer, one dav, to a young friend
with whom she was spending her summer
in the country, and she laughed as she
poke, at the same time holding up a letter.
JNews irom home: remarked Jenny.
smiling.
Oh, dear, no ! It's a love-letter. 1
What!'
A real righty love-letter, and, as they
say, notning else, ui), Uear ! lo think
that I should have made a conquest already.'
A love-letter, Kate ! Well, her is an
adventure, sure enough ! Whosehcart have
ou uroKen r
You shall see and hear for yourself,' re
plied the laughing girl. Then, as she un
iolded the letter, she put on a grave coun
tenance, and, opening the pages to the
eyes of her friend, read aloud
Mv tear Miss Archer. Will you per
mit one who, Irom the moment he saw
you, became an ardent acini rer, to lay his
heart at your leetl Until you appeared in
our quiet village, no maiden had passed
before me who had power to win my love.
But, from the moment I saw you, 1 no
longer had control over my aflections.
They flew to you like a bird to its mate.
You cannot but have observed in all our
recent meetings, that I regarded you with
more than a common interest, and I have
permitted myself to believe that you read
Ihe language of my eyes, and understood
ils meaning. You did not turn from me ;
ou did not look coldly on me. Have I
erred in believeingthat your heart respond
ed to the warm emotions of my own 1 1

'Did he ever make love to you V

Vn real rirnest ?'
Ah! now you come to the point. Per-
haps you have not heard that Andy is our
village flirt !'
'A flirt, indeed ! and so I am to be one
of his victims. Oh d.ar!'
I don't know as to to that. I more than
half suspect him to be in earnest now. In
lact, I've heard from more than one source,
that he is dasperately in love with you.'
Will he hang himself ii I am inexora.
ble?
There's no telling. Hut what kind of
an answer are you going to make to his
avowal ol love !'
What shall I say V
Oh, that depends on your feelings.
He's a regular flirt you say V
1 could name you a dozen girls at least,
to whom his attentions have been ol a char
acter to make them believe that his designs
were serious. Two or three were made
vpry unhappy when he turned Irom them,
like a gay insect, to seek another flower.
Then he must be punished,' said Kate,
resolutely ; 'and be mine the task to lay
the smarting lash upon his shoulders. For
the man who deliberately trifles with a
Woman's feelinrs I have no pit v. He has
been the cause ol pain beyond what it is
se ot pain beyond what it is
possible for himto leel J and, if lean reach
his sensibilities in any wav, you may be
sure that I will do it with a hearty good
will.
I do not like the thought of giving pain,'
remarked Jenny, 'even to a reptile.'
Pain is salutary in most cases; and will
be particularly so, in this f hope. He will
have some idea of how it feels, as the wo
man said when she rapped her boy over
the head with a stick for striking hissister.'
It was as Jenny supposed, an' as we
intended in the beginning ; Andy Caven
der was really and truly over head and ears
in love with Kate Archer, and every line
of his amatory epistle was from his heart.
Two or three letters were written and de
stroyed before he produced one exactly to
his mind, and this he finally despatched in
lull confidence that, as it came from his
heart, it must reach the heart of the lovely
maiden.
Two days went by, and no answer was
received by the enamored swain. He be
gan to feel anxious. On the third day, a
neat little perfumed envelope came into
1) is hands, which, on opening, he found to
contain a pink, perlumed, satin-edged
sheet ol note-paper, on which were a lew
lines delicately written. They were as
follows :
Mv dear Sir: Your letter, conlaining
a most flattering avowal ol regard lor one
who'is comparatively a slranger, has been
received. Its effects I will not attempt to
describe ; nor will T, at this lime, venture
to put in written language what 1 leel.
To-morrow evening I will spend nt Mrs
T 's. May I hope lo see you there?
'Yours, Sec'
Kate.'
Andy was in ecstasies at this answer to
his epistle. Its meaning to him was as
plain as if Kate had said, 'Dear Andrew,
my heart is yours.'
On the next evening, he repaired to
Mrs. T 's, trembling with fond antici
pation. On entering the parlor, he found
but a single person therein, and that, a
young lady named Herbert, to whom he
had formerly paid very marked attentions.
Aware that she had been made unhappy by
his fickleness, not lo call it by a harsher
name, the meeting rather threw a damper
over his feelings. But A ndy had his share
ol coolness and self possession, and, al
though it cost him a considerable effort, he
managed to introduce topics of conversation,
and to talk pretty freely, although the talk
ing was nearly all on his own side. Miss
Herbert maintaining a cold reserve, and
answering entirely in monosyllables.
J-orabouta quarter of an hour, Andy
endured the ordeal, wondering why this
particular young lady should happen to be
alone in the parlor of Mrs. T , and
wondering still more why Miss Archer did
not make her appearance. Just as he be
gan to leel a little excited and uneasy, the
door opened, and in walked another young
maiden whom he had reason to remember
a Miss Mary Harper. She was also one
of his old flames ; she appeared surprised
at seeing h:m and greeted him with cold
ness. Andy tried to say some sprightly
things to Miss Harper; and he was far from
being in as good condition as at first. The
effort to entertain Miss Herbert had some
what exhausted his reservoir ol spirits, and
his attempts lo draw farther thereon were
not very successful. The two young la
dies drew together on the sofa, and main
tained a mutual reserve towards Andy that
soon began to be painfully embarrassing.
'What does all this mean ? Andy had
just asked himself)- foi" he was beginning to
leel puzzled, when the sound ol light lei-t
along the passage was again heard, and,
the door opening, his eye rested upon the
form ot Caroline dray, to whom he had
once paid addresses. Very particular rea
sons had Andy Cavender, for not wishing
to meet Caroline on that particular ocra-
8ron r for he had committed himself to. her
more directly than to any other young lady
in Woodland, having, on one occasion, ac
tually written and sent to her a love-letter.
The precise contents' of that epistle he did
not remember J but often, when he Ihoughl
ol it, he had doubts as to the extent to
which he had committed himself therein
that were not very comfortable.
5oon another and another entered, and
strange to say, each was an old flame, until
there were present not less than six fair,
rebuking spirits. Silent, Andy sat in the
midst of these silent, because tho pressure
on his feelings had become rnsuflerably
great for nearly a quarter of an hour.
tt was a social party of a moid novel char
acter, and one that never was forsolten.
About the time that Andy's feelings
were in as uncomfortable a state a could
well be imagined, and he was beginning tt
i wieb himself at the North Pole, Kale Ar-

room slowly, me lormrr "
ier in ner naiiti, upuu """ " , j
botn were resung.
In an instant, it flashed upon Andy Cav
ender that he was to be victimized by the
city belle. No sooner had this thought
crossed his mind, than rising abruptly, he
bowed to his fair tormentors, saying
Excuse me ladies. And beat a hasty
retreat.
But, ere he passed beyond the street
door there reached him a gush of merry
laughter from the musical throat of Kate,
in which other voices mingled.
On the next day he redeiver! a letter di
rected in a delicate hand. It enclosed the
one he had written to Kate, and accompa
nying it was a note in these words:
There i., it is presumed, a mistake in
the direction ol this. It was probably
meant for Caroline Gray, Mary Harper,
Nancy Herbert, or Jenny Green. In order
that it may receive its proper destination,
it is returned to the writer.'
The village flirt was a changed man alter
that. He had played with edged tools un
til he had cut himself, and the wound in
neaiing, leu an ugly scar.
Mealing, left an ugly scar. Poor Andy
Cavender! All this happened
years ago,
and he is a bachelor still, notwithstanding
several subsequent attempts to make a fa
vorable impression on the hearts of certain
pretty maidens. The story of his punish
ment at Mrs. T 'sflew over the village
in a few hour.t, and, after that, no fair den
izen of Woodland for a moment thought of
regarding any attention from Andy Caven
der as more than a piece ol idle pastime j
and, on the few occosions that he ventured
to talk ol love, Ihe merry witches laughed
him in the face.
GOVERKOn STEVENS' EXPEDITION.
Letters from the exploring paity of Gover

have b.sen received at St. Paul's, and ate
published in Ihe Minesola Democrat. It ap
pears that Ihe Itain has passed over 725
miles of ihe proposed Northern route of Ihe
Pacific railroad, nnd that the results of the
expedition, thus far, hare been eminently
satislacloiy. Few difficulties have been
met, men and animals, are in excellent work
ing condition One correspondent says: ''We
have met with no obstacles worthy of men
tion, if we except I ho liver crossings. To
emigrants wo may safely say, more lhan
three-fuuithft of Ihe way they will find good
camping grounds, with the three requisites

tiuls be wanting over the whole line."
'We have thn most positive assurance
I hat Gov. S'.evens, on his arrival at Fort
Union, was uot only pleased with the coun
try vthich he bnd traversed after leaving
Ibis place, but that he was (.o fully convinced
that Ihe great northern route combined so
many advantages over all others, that itsear
ly completion had ceased lo be considered
by him as problematical."

high prices of labor, and on Ihe day after
their arrival seven of Ihem were in charge
of ihe Howard Association as victims of Ihe

n0, many ,nvs iilice we hRll a c0llferM
ion with one of the persons who firs! saw Mr.
Schlatter after ho was frozen to death last
winter near Ihe duiiiry mine, on Portage
Lake. The whole affair is so sad and stii.
king, that it deserves more notice than it has
received. Mr S. it is well known, was one
Of Ihe beft draughtsmen in tho United S ates.
His maps rhnde for the Geological Survey
were mistaken by many persons in Washing
ton City for engraving.. His sketches nnd
plans of mines are famlillar lo every one who
has visited Lake Superior, tie Hd been in
Ihe country from Ihe commencement of op
erations, engaged in surveys; explorations,
and mapping of locations; and w-oi a B"od
woodsman. His health and strength, owing
lo an unfortunate failing not uncommon in
Ihe early days in ihe mining region, hud be
come impaired, and ns he had some pride In
performing his part well, he set out for Port
age Lake, on Iho day previous lo h's death,
alone. He did Ibis because he knew ihe
country well, although there was no road,
and because his surveying instilments wero
w ith him. There was a track in the snow
made by snow sh ins of other parties who
preceeded him He left the North Ameri
can location about ten o'clock in the morn
ing, withoul a blanket or food, and without
matches, flint Olid steel, expecting lo reach
Quiticy mine that night.
The distance is about fifteen miles through
ihe woods, and is easily Walked on snow
shoes in half a day. The next day some
parlies came thiough, and teporled lhat Mr.
Schlatter had started in the morning just re:
laled, and lhat on the way his track had
been seen leaving the usual route. Mr. She)
den, Mr, Van Amien, and otheis at theQuin
cy, nt once concluded he must have been
lost, and although il was now nighl, immedi
ately stalled out lo find him.
About sun down Ihey discovered thepluce
where he left Ihe track, nnd following his
nail, entered a thick cedar swamp.
It was evident ho had been in ihe swamps
Ihe night previous, and that he was lost. He
had crawled under logs, and tree lops lo find
shelter from the snow, and wandered about
crossing and re-crossing h's own tracks as
people do w hen Ihey are bewildered, but did
not go to sleep or remain long in a place.
It is supposed that in ihe moining he lef
the swamp, but did not take the proper
course for the mine, mid did not use his com
pass lo determine '.he direction.
Although ihe night was cold even for this
region, and the snow deep, it does not appear
that his feet or hands were froze;.. When
it became dark, the party lighted torches,
and pursued the steps of the lost man by the
blaze of parcels of birch batk. His strength
was evidently failing; his paces were slow
and short with frequent rests; he was no
doubt aware thai ha was in a bewildered
state, for he followed nut a s'raighl couise
but the valley of a brook

Mr. Schlatter, conscious that this fate was
fixed, had crawled under this shelter and
calmly lay down lo die his compass was
laid on one side, his hni nnd wig remained
on the other; and he was found, the vital
warmth not all gone, lying w ith his hands

eller given on account of a new locomotive .'
the Texas; ju( built in that city, in .which
the power, instead of be.'ug applied directly
to Ihe wheels by ci'niiecling rods, is applied
to Ihe lop or an upright beam, placed just in
front of iKe fire-box- on each side of :lio
boiler.
"From ihe lop of (his beam which moves'
about 15 degrees on a heavy jiivot, runs a
rel lo the bacft ...iiref, and from ihe bottom
funs a rod lo the fiont diivor. The boiler
sits quite low, while the lank hangs below
ihe w heels. The link is also of most nove'i
roust ruction, and is said lo be a most impor
tant improvement, ihe link working within
Ihe block, instead nf the block within the'
link. The locomotive weighs about thirteen
Inns with the lender which is connected w ith'
it, Ihe boiler and lank being placed on tho'
fartlti Irame. It has bui foiir wheels, nn.f
ihose are hollow drivers, and are placed one'
pair in ffontof the boiler, and one pair under
Ihe tank, ihe cylinders are 12J inches, in1
diameter, nnd are outsido connections. The
power, instead of being applied directly to'
the drivers by connecting rods, as is usual, is
applied lo the top of an upright beam.
the advantages derived by the novel con.
struction of Ihe locomotive are, tho ease with'
which great power can bo applied, b'iiJ Hid
great gain mane in bringing tho whole
weight of the engine nnd lender to nid in
drawing a heavy load, (i is said that a thir
teen Ion engine, built on the now model, can
do the same work ns a. twenty ton engine
built so that the power ii applied to Iho dii-'
vers nl the fire-box.
The locomotive just completed is for a
road in Texas. Theio is also in process of
Constr::c.Iin'n fciir others after the same mod
el, intended for a road in Pennsylvania.
On Saturday, with a view of testing the'
capabilities of the engine, Ihe "Texas" was"
attached lo a heavy freight train, consisting
of fourteen long tars. It drew Ihem with
Ihe greatest ease fiom South Braintree to'
Boston, making the lime allotted lo the train
to a second. This result 6f ihe experiment
is deemed conclusive lhal the locomotive
will prove In every respecls succesful, and
lhal a twelve ton engine can, w hen built af
ter the new plan, do the work of a twenty
ton engine of the old model. Those interea
