ANGRY WORDS.
Angry words are lightly spoken,
In a rash and thoughtless hour,
Brightest links of life are broken
By their deep, insidious power.
Hearts inspired by warmest feeling,
Nc'er before by auger stirred,
Oft are rent past human healing,
By a single angry word.
Poison•drops of care and sorrow;
Bitter poison drops are they;
'Weaving for the coming morrow
Saddest memories of to•day.
Angry words—oh, let them never
From the tongue unbridled slip;
May the heart's best impulse ever
Cheek them ere they soil the lip.
Love is much too puro and hdly,
Friendship is too sacred far,
For a moment's reckless folly
Thus to desolate and mar.
Angry words aro lightly spoken ;
Bitterest thoughts are rashly stirred;
Brightest links of life are broken
By a single angry word.
HOW MR, KEITH MANAGED.
"Man's work is from sun to sun, but
woman's work is never done," quoted
Mrs. Keith.
She had just finished her work for
the evening, and was taking up her
sewing, when Mr Keith upset a vine
gar bottle and a bowl of gavy, in tho
kitchen cupboard, rummaging after a
knife which was in his pocket all the
time.
Mrs. Keith relinquished her idea of
a little season Of quiet, and went out
to set matters in order again. Mr. K.
followed to oversee her—a habit some
men have.
"I wish you would try to be a little
more careful, Henry. You do not re
alize how many things I have to see
to."
"Humph," said Mr. Keith, sitting
down in a basket of freshly ironed
clothes. "I never would complain pf
such a trifle as that I If I didn't know
I should think all the women were in
slavery."
"And you would be correct, Henry.
You have not the faintest idea—"
"Nonsense. Mary! Why I could do
your work and three times as much
more, and get all through at ten
&clock."
"Could, you indeed ?"
"To be sure, if you would givo mo
the chance of it."
"You shall have it," said Mrs. Keith
quietly. "I have long wanted to visit
my Aunt Susan. I will do so now,
and you may keep house. I shall have
to cook up something—"
"As if I could'nt cook! You will do
nothing of the kind, Mary. I shall
live like a prince, and you will see how
nice I will keep everything. You will
hardly know the house when you re
turn."
"I darn say, remarked Mrs. Keith,
"but when can I go ?"
"To-morrow, if you like."
"And you aro quite sure you can
manage ?"
"Sure!" what a look be gave her;
"you shall see."
"Mrs. Keith laughed a little to her
self, when her husband left her at the
depot, and turned his steps homeward,
to dear the breakfast things and pre
pare for dinner. She only wished she
could be there invisible, and see him
manage.
"Let me see," soliquized Keith, en
tering the kitchen. "I'll wash the
dishes first, and I'll put on one of
Mary's dresses to keep me clean."
Be fastened it round his waist with
a pin, rolled up his sleeves, and looked
about him. The fire was out, but af
ter much trouble ho succeeded in re
kindling it, and then began to wash
the dishes.
Ho took them to the sink, plugged
up the spout, and then put them to
soak in a pail of cold water.
"There, they're washed," said he to
himself; "now for something to Wipe
them on. I'll take the table-eloth.--
Such a fuss as women do make about
work. Why, I . could wash all the
dishes in the neighborhood in half a
day. This stew pan smells of grease.
I wonder what's the matter with it'?
There, I've got some smut on my
baud ! There it goes On that china
saucer! Deuce take it! I wish there
was no smut. Hello ! there's one
plate gone to smash ! Oh, there goes
the cream pitcher. And I've stepped
into 14 m potato dish that I . set on the
floor to dry, and that's gone to shades.
Never mind—accidents will happen.
I guess I'll trim tho lamp next; moth
er always trimmed the lamp in the
morning. Confound them ! how black
the chimneys are !"
Thus conversing with himself, Mr.
Keith put the chimneys into the basin
and cogitated a moment. Ho had
heard that boiling:water was cleansing,
so he scalded the chimneys, and the
result was about a hundred different
pieces to each chin-I - hey.
"Good gracious !" ho dried, "who'd
havo thought it? There's sombody
at the door. I'll just stop out as I am.
It can't be anybody that I care for so
early as this."
=ECM
A small boy presented himself, eye
ing ➢lr. Keith with ill-suppressed
mirth.
"Be you mistress of the house ?"
"Yes—that is, I am the master,"
said Keith with dignity, "what can I
do for you ?",
"Nothing, I guesd. 'germ sent me
over to see if you—that is, the mis'
tress of the house, would take cam of

ping ?"
"No !" thundered Keith, "Tye other
fish to fry."
The boy put his thumb to his nose,
and Mr. Keith, after slamming the
door—as men always do when they
are out of temper—returned to the
kitchen. The fire was out, and the
room decidedly smoky.
"I'll go down in the cellar and bring
up some coal," said he, and started
briskly down the stairs. On the sec
ond step he put his foot through a rip
in his dress skirt, stumbled and fell to
the bottom of the cellar, smashed a
basket of eggs :and iknocked over' a
shelf loaded withpans of milk.
" Deuce take it !" exclaimed he,
scrambling to his feet, and rubbing his
head, "how do the woinen manage
with these infernal long dresses? I
shall break my neck with this yet:"
The fire made again, fir. Keith be
thought him of dinner. lie looked at
his time piece—it was ono o'cloelc=
almost time for callers. What' should
ho have for dinner? le had heard
his wife say rico pudding and boiled
potatoes and broiled steak.
Ho filled the basin with rico, stirred
in a little Sugar, dropped in an egg,and
sot the vessel into an oven. The po
tatoes he washed in soapsuds, that they
certainly might be clean, and put them
into the teakettle because they would
boil quicker.
Tho steam was frizzing in the fry
ing pan, and be was preparing to set
the table when the bell rang.
Ile caught up the pan from tho fire,
to keep it from burning, and made
haste to the front door. Then be re•
methbored it would not.bo just the
thing to go to the door with the frying
pan in his hand; so ho deposited it on
the parlor sofit and answered the ring.
Mrs. Dr. Illudgo was on tho steps
dressed in all her best
"ls Mrs. Keith at home 7"
"My wife is absent," stammered
Keitb, "and I am playing Bridget.—
Walk in."
Mrs. Mudge sailed into the parlor,
which was darkened to exclude the
sun, and without stopping to look at
her seat, sunk into the frying-pan on
the sofa.
"Jupiter!" cried Mr. Keith, "you
have done it Dow l"
Mrs. Mudge sprung up, the grease
dripping from . the rich silk on, the car
pet. Her face grew dark. She was
tempted to say something cutting, but
managed to control herself, bowed
haughtily, and swept out of the house.
Keith returned to the kitchen a lit•
tlo crest•fallen, for Mrs. Mudge was a
lady before whom he desired to ap•
pear particularly well.
There was a tremendous cracking
in the oven. Ho thought of his pud.
ding and looked in. The burnt rice
had hopped all over the oven, the basin
had molted apart,and. the pudding was
not done. He shut the door upon the
ruins in disgust, and looked after his
potatoes only to find- them boiled to a
perfect jelly.
Just as he made the discovery,there
was - a sharp peal at the door bell.
"Creation I there's that abominable
hell again. I wish folks would stay at
home. After to-day, I'll lock all the
doors and cut all the bell wires."
At thekloor ho found Mr. and Mrs.
Fidget and their children.
"My dear Mr. Keith,how do you do,"
cried Mrs. Fidget. "We were in town,
and thought we'd just step into dinner.
Whore is Mrs. Keith ?"
"She's gone away," said Keith rue
fully, wondering what ho should feed
them on—"walk in do. I am house
keeper to-day."
'Yes, so I should judge. But of
course you make a splendid one. I re
member you used to be frequently tel
ling Mrs. Keith and myself how very
easy housekeeping must be. It must
be mere play to you. Don't put your
self out, 1 beg."
"Put myself out, indeed!" cried
Keith, retreating to the kitchen.—
"Good gracious ! what shall Ido ? I'd
give a hundred dollars if only Mary
was here ! where shall I begin ?"
He-drew out the table and sot it
without any cloth; then he took off
the plates and put on a cloth, the very
one he had wiped the dishes on. The
task completed, ho put on some more
potatoes and some more steak, burned
his steak to a cinder, took off his pota
toes when ho did his moat, and put all
upon the table. There was a loaf of
baker's bread in the cupbobrd--ho pa
raded that, and called his guests to
dinner.
A quizzical smile spread over Mrs.
Fidget's face at the sight of the repast.
Keith was in cold perspiration.
"Ma, my plate's all greasy, and so
is my knife. I cant cat on dirty dishes,"
cried little Johnny Fidget.
"And my fork is wet all over with
water that's dropping off the table
cloth; and my tater ain't half tiled,"
exclaimed little. Jane Fidget.
A - slight noise in the kitchen drew
the attention of Mr. Keith.
"Jupiter !" he cried, "if Mrs. OTla
herty's dog ain't making off with my

Ile jumped from the table and start
ed in hot pursuit. The dog made the
best of it; Keith's unaccustomed at
.tire was a sad drawback, and he made
but little headway.
"kill him ho yelled to the crowd
that joined iu the pursuit ; I'll give
teen dollars for his hide;'
Mrs. O'Flaherty herself appeared
upon the scene with n skillet of hot
wator. -
"Tech him if yer dare 1" she cried.

Keith took a step forward,
.stopped
en' the skirt of his dress, and pitched
head first into a wine cellar, whore
half a dozen men were playing cards.
"The devil in petticoats !" exclaim-
-PERSEVERE.-
e'd one of the gamesters, and the place
emptied quicker than a wink.
The police picked up Mr. Koith,eon
siderably bruised, and carried him
home. His company bad taken their
departure, and somebody not having
the fear of the law upon them, had en
tered and stolen a hundred dollars
worth of property.
Mr. Keith sent the following note to
his wife by the evening mail :
DEAR MARY=-Come borne; I give up

deal to do. I confess myself incompe

shall have a new silk dress, and a

Sponge Divers.
The mode of operation preparatory
to a dice is very peculiar and interest
ing. The diver whose turn it, is takes
his seat on the deck of a vessel, at ei
ther the bow or stern, and, placing
by his side a large flat slab of marble,
weighing about twenty-five pounds, to
which is attached a rope of the proper
length and thickness (one inch and a
halt,) he then strips, and is lett by his
companions to prepare himself. This
seems to consist in devoting a certain
time to clearing tho passages of his
lungs by expectoration, and highly in.
dating them afterwards—thus oxydiz
ing his blood very highly by a repeti
tion of deep inspirations. The opera
tion lasts from five to ten minutes, or
more, according to the depth; and du
ring it the operator is never interfered
with by his companions ' and seldom
sptaks or is spoken to. Ile is simply
watched by two of them, but at a lit
tle distance, and they never venture to
urge him or to distract him in any
way during the process. It seems to
the spectators as if the divers were
going through a sort of mysterious cer
emony of incantation.
When, from some sensation known
only to himself after these repeated,
long-drawn and heavy inspirations, he
deems the fitting moment to have ar
rived, he seizes the slab of marble, and
after crossing himself and uttering a
prayer; plunges with it like a return
ing dolphin, into the sea and rapidly
descends. The stone is always hold
during the descent directly in front of
the head, at arm's length, and so as to
offer as little resistance as possiblo,and
by varying its inclination it acts like
wise as a rudder, causing the descent
to be more or less vertical, as desired
by the diver. As soon as ho reaches
the bottom ho places the stone under
his arm to keep himself down, and
then walks she'll, on the rock or crawls
under its ledges, stuffing the sponges
into a netted bag with it hooped month,
which is strung around his neck to re
ceive them ; but he holds firmly to the
stone or rope all the while as his safe
guard for returning and making known
the signal at the time he deSires it.
Now lot us notice the proceedings of
his companions in the boat floating
some 20 or 30 fathoms above him. The
two men who were nearest to him pre
viously•to his making the dive, but
who systematically seem to place; hem
selves so as to prevent him from eon•
ceiving the idea of being impatiently
watched by them while undergoing
the preparation, spring to their feet as
soot, as he disappears and rush to the
rope, which one of them holds in his
hand, veering it out or shortening it
in, as the diver moves about on the
bottom, and as soon as the signal in
dicative of his wish to return is felt,
they commence hauling up the rope
with great energy and earnestness,
and in a way calculated to insure the
greatest expedition of ascent, since
the overstay of a few seconds maybe
a point of life or death to the diver.
The hauling up is thus effected:—
The assistant who has hold of the rope,
awaiting the signal, first reaches down
with both hands as far as ho can, and
there grasping the rope, with a great
bodily effort, raises it up nearly arm's
length over his head; the second assis
tant to make his grasp as low down
as he can reach, and does the same,
and so on, the two alternately, and by
a fathom or more at a time, and with
great rapidity brin g s the anxious diver
to the surface. A.heavy blow from
from bik nostrils, to expel the water
and exhausted air,. indicates to his
comrades that ho is conscious and
breathes. A word or two is spoken by
one of his comrades to encourage him
if he seems much distrdssed—as is of
ten the case; and bearing of the voice
is said by them to be a great support
at the moment of their greatest ex
haustion. A few seconds' rest at the
surface, and then the diver returns in•
to the boat to .recover, generally put
ting on an under garment or jacket to
assist the restoration of the animal
heat ho had lost, and to prevent tho
loss of more by the too rapid evapora
tion of water from his body.
Such is the trying life of a Levan
tine spong-diver ; and doubtless there
are very few of us who have any idea
of what a fellow-creature has suffered
iu procuring that little article which
has become a necesity of our toilet-ta
ble and the luxury of our morning ab
lutions.—ASpratt's Travels in Crete.

A Romance of Truth,
There are the elements of a novel of
surpassing interest in tho following
story, the truth of which is vouched
for :
A man by tho name of Holden, a
Canadian by birth, went to Cayuga
co., N. Y., in 1820, and married a Miss
Tabor, daughter of poor but respecta
ble parents. In 1833 this couple, with
their two children, David and Mary—
the oldest three years and the young
est six months old—moved to the then
wilds of Wisconsin, and commenced
the laborious life of farming and hunt-
Mg.
David wasa bright little fellow,and
at five years of age, when at play near
the house, with his hatchet, had the
misfortune to sever the little toe from
his left foot.
In 1842 Mr. Holden returned to
Cayuga co., N. Y., to look after a lithe
property that had been loft his wife
by tho - dcath of her parents, and while
there he received the sad intelligence
that some unfriendly Chippewa Indi
ana,
taking advantage of his absence,
had killed his wife and children and
burned his house and barn to ashes.
Holden had always a misanthropic
turn of mind, and at, this point of his
misfortunes, that. sourness increased
to almost a hatred for every human
being.
In lost his parents when a mere in
fant, his only sister was drowned by
the upsetting of a boat in the river St.
Lawrence, and his two brotherS were
.killed by the bursting of a cannon in
Montreal. Without kith or kin in all
the wido world, ho resolved to proceed
at once to the shores of the Pacific
and there and his days. among 'the
wild fur-traders of Oregon. Enlisting
in a branch house of I,he Hudson Bay
Fur Company in St. Louis, he crossed
the Rocky mountains near the head
waters of the Columbia,and then float
ed down the river in a bark canoe un
til he reached Vancouver—the com
any's headquarters of the Pacific
coast: Receiving a sharp reprimand
by the commandant of the station for
in-attention to duty, Holden soon de
serted, and on a horse borrowed with
out leave—for the occasion—rode about
800 miles south, and hired out as shop
herd to 'a rich old Mexican ranchero,
or farmer, just-east of Mohto
in what is now called Contra Costa
county, California. Here -ho worked
for six years, for good wages, acting
as general superintendent of the en
tire rancho, embracing upwards of
8,000 acres. The old Mexican had a
violent temper,' and was noted as a
wilful tyrant and a - fierce desperado;
but he and Holden got alonce 6 remarka
bly well together until the latter, by
accident, shot a valuable horse ;And a
coldness then at once ensued which
resulted., in the separation of the two
men. A month afterward, the Mexi
can died, and Holden presented a largo
mortgage against the estate, foreclosed
it and took possession.
On the 19th of January, 1848, gold
was first discovered in California, on
the American river, in El Dorado
county. These latter haVe since been
known as the southern mines, and the
way to them led by Holden's exten
sive rancho. Many .of the early mi
ners of '4B and '5O recollect but too
well the inhospitable selfishness and
miserly meanness of the rich old far
mer on this extensive rancho. On no
account whatever would he permit a
traveller to sleep on the premises, and
for every morsel of food furnished, the
highest price must be paid.
Late in the evening on a cold, raw,
stormy day in November, - 1850, a
young man or boy not more than 20
years of age, limped slowly up to the
house where the old man was smoking
his pipe, and modestly asked if he
could obtain a few mouthfuls of some
thing to cat.
"Got any money to pay for it 2-" ask
ed the old miser.
The young man replied that it took
every dollar of his money to pay his
passage to San Francisco; that he
was now on his way to the southern
mines, and that the first money be ob
tained ho would certainly send it or
bring it back in return for something
to eat; that ho had traveled all day
on fOot in the cold driving storm with
out ono morsel of food, and that he
was now chilled to the hone, and al
most dying with, hunger.
"Bah," was the insulting reply: of
the old tyrant—"do you think I am
green enough to believe all that non
sense ? Eat acorns, grass, anything
you can find on the road; but don't
como to me ! Do you think lam go.
ing to feed all the miserable beggars
that are strolling Through the country?
Begone! Begone or I'll set the dogs
on you!"
T . be fair faced lad burst into tears,
and exclaimed. "Oh, dear, I wish I
was back in old Cayuga l"
•
"Back where?" quickly inquired the
old man.
"In Cayuga county, New York,"
sobbed the boy.
"If you're from Cayuga, you may
come in," said the old fellow softened
at the recollection of his deceased wife
andchildren. "What's your name 7"
“Holden,” gasped the boy —"for
God's sake give hie a mouthful of
something to cat; I'm fainting!"
Quickly placing before the lad a hot
tle of wino and a plate of broad and
meat, the old fellow said ;
"nave you always lived in Cayuga?"
"I was born there!" was the feeble
reply, "but my parents moved to Wis
consin when I was but three ycars.of
age. When I was eight years old,
ono day, when my fattier was away
fromhome, some Chippewa Indians
and burned down the houso,and killed
my mother and sister on the spot.
They sold me to some Decotahs who
took me at once to the upper Missouri
and adopted me into 6)94' tribe. T'h,•eo
TERMS, $2,00 a year in advance.
years ago I ran away,.and havelsince
lived with an uncle in Cayuga I"
During the delivery of the foregoing
remarks, the old man stood as if petri
fied. Finally, grasping for breath; ho
asked :
"What is your first name 7"
"Ddvid !"
"Removo your left boot!"
Tho request was complied with, and
the . old man screamed with joy.
"My own son !" and fell senseless on
the floor.
This story is dendded of all extrane
ous dressing in order that it may be
crowded into this small space, but,
with the exception of the names, it
may be relied upon as strictly true.
The old man is now dead, and we have
seen the son gazing with content and
happiness on an amiable lady and three
children, 7,000 head of cattle, and 8,000
acres of land, that he could honestly
call his own.
SARDINES.—The lovers of the "little
fishes bilod in ile," should
.know that
the fish which furnishes them such a
delicious repast, belongs to tho herring
family. The popular name was given
to it by Olivier, the first to assign it
to a distinct place in the finny tribe.
Ho called it-Sardina; from which it is
known as the sardine. Sardines are
caught principally along the coast of
Brittany, and to a less extent in Por
tugal. The fisheries employ a large
number of men and women. The fish
ing vessels—generally of eight or ten
tons eaoh, and carrying a crew of from
six to ten—go out two or three leagues
from land to the schools of fishes .
When they see them, they spread like
gill-nets for them, and scatter on'the
water the bait which has been prephr
ed, and which consist of tho eggs and
flesh of fish, especially of cod and mack
erel,and sometimes of salted fish. Largo
quantities of sardines are taken in this
way. , Somo Somearo salted on board, and
others are carried on shore, and either
sold fresh or prepared for shipment.
For the latter purpose, they aro salted
and packed away in the cans, with
melted- butter.and olive oil, which are
poured upon them in an almost boil
ing state. The cans aro sealed up, to
prevent the air reaching the fish. The
sales in Europe are very groat, as the
fish aro there considered a great deli
cacy, and large shipments aro annual
ly made to America, where they are
no less esteemed than in Europe.
ABRAHAM AND THE FIRE- WORSHIP
PER.-I end •tvith a story which I find
in the Jews' books: When Abraham
eat at his tent door, according to his
custom, waiting to entertain strangers,
ho espied an old man stooping and
leaning on his staff, weary with ago
and - travel, coming. towards him, who
was an hundred years of age. He re
ceived him kindly, washed his feed ;
provided supper, and caused him to sit
down • but observing that the bid man
ate andi prayed not, nor bogged for a
blessing ou his meat, asked him why
he did not worship the God of Heav ,
on? The old man told him that ho
worshipped the fire only, and acknowl
edged no other God; at which answer
Abraham grew so zealously angry that
ho thrust the old man out of his tent,
and exposed him to all the evihi of the
night and an unguarded condition.
When the old man was gone,God call
ed to Abraham and asked lim*where
the stranger was? Ho replied, I thrust
him away because he did not worship
Theo. God answered him, I havo suf
fered him these hundred years,althotigh
ho dishonored me, and couldst thou
not endure him ono night, when ho
gave thee no trouble? Upon this, saith
the story, Abraham fetched him back
again, and gave him hospitable enter
tainment and wise instruction. Go
thou and do likewise, and thy charity
will be rewarded by the God .of Abra,
ha,m.—Jeresty Taylor.
S3IART Doo.—The town Astoria; Or
egon, can boast of the smartest dog
that has been hoard lately, if Van Du
son tells the truth in relation
.to the
doings of his canine. While visiting
Tillamook beach this summer,itho dog
was troubled very much with fleas,and
had become tired of scratching. Ile
was discovered one day hunting around
the house for something, and finally
picked up ft piece of loose cotton bat
ting and started for the beach. Ho
wept to the water, slowly backing
clown into it, and holding his head up
so as to keep the cotton dry. The
fleas 'started for his hoed as the dog
kept backing into the water, and final
ly there was but the cotton out of the
water,, when suddenly cotton disap
peared, and the dog made his appear
ance minus cotton and fleas. The cot
ton was picked out of the water, and
was found actually alive with fleas.
Van says he saw the dog do it—.-so it
must bo so.

INGENUITY OF TIM THRUBII.—On the
Ist inst. was pointed out to me a
thrush's nest, built in tile fork of a .
mountain ash, so near to the bed room
window as to be under the close, in
spection of an invalid lady, who, with
her husband and her nurse, were very
much interested in watching the pro
gress of the family. The young birds
were batched on the 20th of June.
For several `reeks no rain bad fallen
till the 29th, when a heavy down-pour
set in, which lasted, with very slight
intermission, through that and the fol,
lowing day. The parent birds -were
much distressed to give shelter to their
young, and despite all their care they
failed in their efforts, until struck wit h
a happy thought, they suceeeded in
placing a stick across the nest; ; then
availing themselves of this extempo,
rized perch and simultanedusly spread
ing out their wings, they formed a
complete and effectual canopy. On
the following day the perch had dis.
appeared; with return of sun-shine
both parents, relieved from all anxil
sty on account of the weather, were
busily plying their brood with grubs
and caterpillars, so that I had no op
portunity for seeing the happy con
trivance ; but , the three more fortunate
observers bore testimony, in'terms of
high administration, to the skill and
patience exhroited by the thrushes,
who never deserted the perch so , long
as the rain continned, although their
own feathers were dripping with wee
ter. Throughout the second day of
trial the cock bird brought food to his
mate, who distributed it among her
nurslings, taking of course, her own
well-earned share. I asked my friends
hew the birds contrived to carry up
the perch more than fifteen feet froal
the ground, but neither had been - so
fortunate as to witness what must have
been a clever piece of engineering.--

Planting Forest'Trees upon the
great plains and prairies of the West
is a project that is just now engaging
the attention of our western pioneers
and land-owners. The immense prair,
ies and plains west of Kansas, and ex
tending to the Rocky mountains, are
barren of trees, but with a soil in
which they would grow rapidly if
planted by artificial means. The Mor,
mon settlement around Salt Lake has
established this fact.. Scarcely a tree
existed in that region 'prior to- the
Mormon exodus from Missouri,—but
now the vicinity of Salt Lake City is
studded with verdant groves and rich
orchards. The subjecthas been brought
to tho attention of Congress. Mr,
Donnelly, of Minnesota, has submitted
to the House a bill "To encourage ex,
periments in the growth of forest trees
on the Western Plains," which propo,
ass to grant 200,000 acres of Public
Lands to the Ottawa Indian Univer.
sity of Kansas, on condition that they
shall within five--years plant at least
40,000,000 forest trees over an area of
not loss than 10,000 acres of public
lands on the Great Plains. This is but
experimental. If the plan succeeds:we
shall not only have the Government
engaged in planting trees on the im,
mouse treeless tracks of the "Far
West," but independent proprietors
will set to work, and make whht is
now sot down in our geographies as
the "Great American Desert," a Most
beautiful stretch of country, affording
happy homes to hundreds and thou,
sands of what we now close as Young
Americans."
ARMY MORTALITY. —During the
bellion 2,688,528 men entered the army
of the United States. Of this number
2,408,103, left the service alive. Some
of them deserted, many were dismiss,
od before their terms expired, but the
majority returned safe and sound to
the place of enlistment and were mus,
tered out. The whole number of deaths
in the service was 280,420; of these
over 40,000 occurred on the field of
battle; 35,000 occurred after battles,'
of wounds, and 184,331 of disease. Two
persons died of sickness to one of bat,
tle. In this connection it deserves
mention that the mortality from sick
ness was not near as great as in the
British army during the Crimean ware
This was owing, to superior care, and
provision. It should be farther oon,
siderod that if no war had happened,
and these two millions and a half of
mon had staid at ,home, many thou
sands of them in the natural course
of events, would have died during the
four years the contest lasted. Tn 4r ;
riving, therefore, at a fair est:in:late of
the mortality chargeable to the war, it
is necessary to subtract the average
mortality to which the members of the
army would have been liable in time
of peace and at homer
FRIGHTFUL ARIAL' 4Hyp1T17R4 . .- - -.
The most remarkable escape from per
sonal injury withinnur knowledge oc
curred recently a, few miles west of
lowa City. •As a regular passenger
train, duo goat, was nearing that point
a Mau was discovered walking along
the track. The whistle was sounded,
but the man paid no attention to it.
The cowcatcher seized and threw him
about thirty feet in the air, where ho
turned a complete somersault. As soon
as the train was stopped, the -employ,
cos rushed back, expecting to- find a .
mass of mangled • flesh and broken
bones, but imagine their surpriso
beholding the man walking towards
them just as coolly, .canily and (Wilber,
atoly as if nothing had happened. Ho
proved to be a deaf and dumb man evi,
den tly on his war to lowa City to at
tend the institution for such persons
at that place. His name and place of
residence could not be learned, as no
one tinders - teed his signs and motions.
The only injury be received was a
Wight bruise at the back of his head.
