FLOATING OX A HOLLOW LOW.
In 1S40. a party of younir men from
AVt&tf rn Pennsyl vaiiia rfaclieil Califor
nia, and. disposing of tlif ir aniinals, jiro
vided tlst-rntsi'lves witlt the usual outfit
for the dittctiiiKH anl with unabated ar
dor coraiiiL'iifcd delvin.o; for the precious
na tal. 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

Staixix ti I'ini:. The A'o7ie,sV,-,.,

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.
She rose in the morning when she was
n , , , t . , 4, , ,
called and went out into the garden and
saw tne new on tne grass, ami n sue
lived in the country she fed the chickens
and hunted up the eggs for breakfast.
We do not stqvpose she lnd her hair !
in curl-papers or crimping-pins, or had i
it "banged"" over her forehead, and her j
flounces were no trouble to her. J
She learned how to sew by making ;
natch-work, and Ave dare sav she could ,
do an '-over-and-over" seam as Avell as
nine-tenths o the grown-up women now-
a:lvs-
The old-fashioned girl did not grow
into a young lady and talk about leaux
before she was in her teens, and she did
not read dime novels, and Avasnot fancy
ing a hero in e'ery j.lowboy she met.
She learned the stolid accomplishments
as she grew up. She Avas taught the art
of cooking and housekeeping. When
she got a husband she knew Iioav to cook
liim ,i iliiinnr
She was not learned in French verbs.
or l.ai m ueciensioiis, aim ner neai neigfi-
bors Avere spared the agony of hearing
her pound out "The Maiden's I'rayer"'
and "Silver Threads among the Oold"
twenty times a day on the piano, but Ave
make no doubt she made her family
quite as comfortable as the modern
young lady docs hers.
It may be a vulgar assertion, and Ave
suppose that Ave are not exactly up with
the times, but Ave honestly believe, and
our opinion is based on considerable ex
perience, and no small observal ion. that
Avhen it comes to keeping a family hap
py, a good cook and housek epcr is to be
greatly preferred above a.i accomplished
scholar. When both sets of qualities
are found togi tie r, as they sometimes
are. thi n is the household oA'er Avhich
such a woman has control blessed.
The old-fashioned little girl was
modest in her demeanor, and she never
talked slang or used by words. She did
not laugh at old people or make fun of
cripples, as avc saw some modern little
girls doing the other day. 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.
She went to bed in season, and doubt
less said her prayers before she Avent.
ami slept the sleep of innocence, and
rose up in the morning happy and capa
ble of giving happiness.
And if there be an old-fashioned girl
in the Avorld to-day. may Heaven bless
her and keen her and raise up others like '
her. Yc": York Ks'tminif.

A correspondent of the Carbon (Wyom

of a sermon preached in Eeadville by

they weren't expanded all over, only in the
exhibit inn parts of die ,n,ly the limns. The
thing got round ruining the women, and the
inventor began to have calis from women in

Ihe idea came to him that he could expand
a whole woman. 1 1 0 experimented for about
six na
