The luck of thousands attended them. Now their hopes would he at the lever point at the discovery of a few shining grains, and then again they would toil for days without being re warded by a single grain of hope. Tims they worked, week after week, and month after month, until the winter passed, and the spring dawned upon them. They had prosecuted their labors in every spot near iht in, yet with miser able success ; and upon holding a con sultation it was determined to remove to some place which had not yet been visited by the hundreds of miners. Accordingly, collecting together their worldly all, they took a direction nearly due north, toward Oregon, Territory. Here, striking slightly to the cast, they commenced a search through the moun tains in that vicinity. The streams were turned aside, and their beds exam ined ; and in wild, rocky gorges, never di-ttirbed by the presence of man, they Mi Ithe 'pic!-: and spad,', and the forest rung with 1 heir giad. exult ant shouts, as in some instances, their labors were rewarded. Their success was quite good, and they were comparatively well rewarded. They remained here several months, until the summer was far ad vanced, and. strati-rely enough, were undisturbed by Indians. Then, when about to start for San Francisco, before, embarking for home, it was determined by several to make a further exploration of the romantic country around them. The company separated, with the agreement to return to the camping giound at the end of a Week. Kach to.ik a d iff rent direction from his com panion, and determined to improve his time to the utmost. It is our purpose to follow the adven tures of but one of the company ieorge 1 jlis, who, in one short week, experien ced enough to fill a volume. Al the end of the week, Uiy all met upon the camping-ground, with the ex ception of two. 'I'he fate of one of these William Trtnck -was known. lie had been discovered lying at the foot of a tree with a bloody orilice in his fore head, through which the bullet oi si, me hidden enemy hail passed. I lis scalp was gone, and there was no doubt enter tained in relat ion to !iis dest r, yei s. Al though the miners hoped )'i r the last. vl they ail believed that Kliis had shar ed the same fate wit h his companion. A search, however, was instituted, and eveiy spot that could be xp'orcd in time w as vi. ited and searched by the remain ing ones. It was without success; and altt r remaining a day or two beyond the appointed time, they linally bade fare well to the camping-ground and all hopes of their companion. Kilis was the best hunter and the most reckless of his party, and, without hesitation, lie struck oil in a northeast erly direction, toward Oregon Territory, and before he was aware ol it, he had reached that portion of the country in habited by tiie Indians called Moleles. Here, although lit; found plenty of game, he discovered not the least traces of gold; yet, as this was the last opportu nity that he ever expected to lie present ed with, he determined to improve it to the utmost and visit every vicinity that his limited time permitied. l or live days he continued his wan derings w ill. out meet iiig with any event worth; of m.tc, when late in the after noon he discovered that he was in a country inhabited by numerous Indians. Their signs were all around him, and he found that the nt most caution was ne cessary to avoid an encounter. Several times he it .aed that his presence had hi come know n : but nosavage, however, showed himself ; and at night, as he lay down to rest, it was with the hope that as yet he was safe. Somewhere near miiiniuht ho sudden !g awoke, apparent iy without cause, yet. as he aliirmed, with a strange presenti ment of impending danger, which he could not shake off. When he awoke it was not as a puson generally does, but in an immediate slate of consciousness, and, as he cautiously arose to his feet, he ielt the presence of some foe. There was a moon, yet the niuht was cloudy, and it only showed itself at intervals. Asa heavy clot'el ;',oated past its face, Kllis either imagined or re;.ily saw si v eral forms cro.sing ihe river toward him, and as he i;teiiel intently he heard the soft, lniiliie l dip of o.irs. This was enou.ri: find, without waiting further, he commenced a hasty, though silent, retreat. lb' judged it best to keep thestnani in sight, as he knew" that .t would eventually load him in close proximity to the camp. lie had gone but a short distance, when he heard a low. peculiar sound, like the cry of a wild bird. This he knew was a signal of the Indians, and he lost no time in getting beyond the hearing of it. A mile or two was passed when Ellis detected a half-decay e-l tree resting part ly in the w.tter. A hidden idea seized him, and stooping, he rolled it into the water. It was light and dry, and float ed finely ; and as he saw how well it bore his weight, he could not help con gratulating himself nion his good for tune thus far. Lllis secured his rifle, and stretched himself out in an easy position upon the log ; and. being wearied, before he was aware of it he dropid to sleep, lie had about fairly got off into the land of dreams, when, with an "I'gh !' he dropped beneath the surface, ami gently touched the bottom. As ho rose his head struck directly against the bottom of the log. and in no pleasant mood he reached up and clambered upon it. The log, in its course, had kept at a distance from the shore : but. in turning a bend, one end struck the lank, and thus dis lodged Kilis. jhspite the uncomfortable feeling which his misfortune had produced, the hunter feit that he was again passing into .sleep. And lie had reached that peculiar, semi-conscious state, in which thenervesare most sensitive, when there came a sound that madeliiin quake with horror! It was at his feet, and with a chiil of dread he drew them in and work ed his way as far from it aa possible. Here he held his breath, and it was re peatedthe fearful warning of the rat tlesnake. Ellis peered in the darkness, but no object was visible; yet the rep tile was within six feet of him, and from its movement was evidently pre paring to st rike. Kilis" haste in retreating had given the log an up and down motion ; and, as his portion was depressed and the oppo site rose, lie shrank still further, fearing that the sci-pent would cither drop or slip ujKin him. In gliding down stream. Ellis passed a jortion of the shore which was devoid of trees. At that moment the episite end arose, and by the aid of the moon he caught t lie shadowy outlines of the head and upper part of a monstrous rattle snake prot Hiding from a rotten aperture in the log. He was making prepara tions to strike, anil, while vet visible, he clubbed his rille and brought a crushing blow directly upon it. This sjieeies of snake is easily killed, and nothing more was required to disuse of the one in question ; yet to make matters doubly sure, he again raised his gun, and bro't it down with greater force. As it struck, the collision between the log ami hammer discharged it, and the bullet passed so close as to graze his side. This Avas a danger and escaie tin looked for, and Ellis liegan to really wonder whether he Avas doomed to be killed by his own carelessness, or destin ed to see more providential escapes. Ellis managed, after much dililculty, with this aid of his rille, to disengage the reptile and fling it into the water. He had just K-gun to breath freer and easier, when he was horrified by hearing another deadly rattle from the same place that the first had cornel There was then still another: Ellis knew where the snake must be; and, without hesitation, brought his rifle down with crushing f, tree upon it. He felt that he had kiiied it, yet he was not certain that he was jet free from danger, as there might be more concealed within. After waiting a few moments, and hearing nothing, he forced his gun into the aperture, and pulling forth the snake, raised it over his head, in order to throw" it from him. As he did so, it slipped dow n, ami fell loosely around his neck. :'L'gh ! get out 1" he fairly shrieked, as he jerked it from him. There was no danger of Ellis sleeping any more that night. He remained upon the log until the gray mist iqion the stream showed that the morning had commenced breaking. He then worked it into the shore, and stepping forth, commenced his journey toward the camp. He had, however, lost .all know ledge of its direct ion, and did not pa-ss within many miles of'it. It is hardly necessary hoi e lo follow all the adventures of Ellis. The day after leaving the log he sent in wander ing through the forest. He knew the direction (if San Francisco, and kept toward it. Si veral times he came upon a wild animal, and once hail an encoun ter with a single savage, of whom lie bad the advantage, lie lodged in trees a; liiirht, and after three or four days he came upon a number of miners, and in about a week after entered the streets of San Francisco. He had been alto- ; together quite fortunate, and without ; remaining in tic city engaged passage ii.a steamer for New York. and. strange ly enough, it reached the city in advance C'f the one in which his companions had gone. When the miners stepped upon the wharf in the latter city, their sur- j prise may, perhaps, be imagined at meeting their old comrade, whom they had mourned as dead. j SEYLHE DROUGHTS. An interesting record is that of scA'ere droughts as far back as the landing f the l'i'grinis. How many thousand times are observations made like the following: ''Such a cold season!"' "Such a hot season !"" '-Such dry Aveat It er !" or "Such wet weather !" "Such high Avinds or calms!" etc., elc. All those who think that the dry spell we had last spring was the longest ever known will do well to read the follow ing : In the sinnmer of v2l, 2-4 days in suc cession Avithout rain. In the summer of lo.jO, Jl days in suc cession Avithout rain. In ihe summer of 10.15, 75 days in suc cession Avithout rain. In the summer of b'o-2, so days in suc cession wit hout rain.

No rain fell from the first of May to the first of September, making 12.'! days Avithout rain. Many of the inhabitants sent to England for hay and grain. Staixix ti I'ini:. The A'o7ie,sV,-,., L",;iii fii:":: recommends the following manner of staining pine to represent black walnut : Put pulverized asphalt um into a bowl with about twice its bulk of turpentine and set where it is warm, slinking from time to time until disolved ; then strain and apply Avith ei ther a cloth or a stiff brush. Try a lit tle first, and if t lie stain be too dark, thin it Avith turienline. If desirable to bring out the grain still more, give a coat of boiled oil and turpentine. When the wood is thoroughly dry, polish Avith a mixture of two parts shellac varnish and one part boiled oil. Apply by putting a few drops at a time on ft cloth and rub bing brisklv over the wood.

THE OLD-FASHIONED GIRL. She flourished thirty or forty years ago. She was a little girl until she was 15. She used to help her mother wash the dishes and keep the kitchen tidy, and she had an ambition to make pies so niceiy mat papa couiil not tell tiie ililler- ence lietween them and mamma's ; and yet she could frv griddle-cakes at 10 vears of age, ami darn her own stockings iK-fore she was 12, to say nothing of knit- ting liiem nerseir. she had her hours of play, and enjoy- ed herself to the fullest extent. She had no very costlv tovs, to lie sure, but her rag doll and little" bureau and chair that Cncle Tom made were just as valuable , , .J -, , , . to ner as tne wax uo.i ana elegant uoii iurnuure tne ciiiinreri nave now adays. She never said "T'can"t,"'and "I don't want to." to her mother, when asked to leave la r play, and run up stairs or down on an errand, because she had not been brought up in that way. Obedience win a cardinal virtue in the old fa sli ton ed little girl.

The old-fashioned little girl was modest in her demeanor, and she never talked slang or used by words.

She had re spect for elders, and was not above listening to words of counsel from those older than herself. She did not think she kneAV as much as mother, and that her judgment Avas as goinl as her grandmother's she, did not go to parties by the time ! she was 1". and stay till after midnight, ' playing euchre and dancing Avith any chance young man who happened to be present.
