RETROSPECTIVE
In a wagon made of willow,
Wheeled I once a little maiden,
Ringlets shining on the pillow,
Rolling homeward treasure laden,
Like a boat upon the billow.
Ten years fled ;oh how I missed her
When I left the village school ;
But she said she'd be my sister,
As we lingered by the pool,
And 1 passionately kissed her.
Ten more hopeful yeare°'i•enow it
Little wagon made of willtyw
Loving eyes aro bent to view it,
Loving hands adjust the pillow,
And we've fitted rockers to i. I
HOW A FRONTIERSMAN FIGHTS
INDIANS.
A Denver letter in the Cincinnati
Gazette has a story of frontier life:
"My last letter closed with the arri
val of our party at Godfrey's rancho,
on our westward journey. This rancho
is about midway between Old Jules
burg and the Platte and Denver City.
As this is a noted place and its propri
etor a 'character,' I propose to dwell
awhile.
"Old Godfrey," as ho is called by
travelers and himself when he is at his
rancho, and "Old Wicked" when he is
on his travels, is a man about sixty
years of ago, above the average stature,
well built and firmly knit, his hair
iron-gray, his eye keen and undimmed,
his shoulders slightly bent by time,
hardships, and wounds received from
the Indians who are his only near
neighbors, and who never visit him to
take tea or drinks socially, but always
do call when they think their forces
largo enough to take his cattle, his
goods, or the scalp of the old veteran,
or of some or all of his family. His
watchfulness' has thus far thwarted
them and protected his household
treasures; but they often run off his
stock, and he as often succeeds in get
ting even with them. Tho ranche is
built of adobe, the walls being two feet
thick; the apartments are the dining
room, for travelers, a kitchen, two or
three lodging-rooms, and a large room
used fora sitting, wash, and store-room
—the floor being rough boards. In this
room are also the arms and ammuni
tion used in defending his home from
the frequent attacks of his neighbors
aforesaid. ,
"his family consists of his wife, a
frail, patient-looking woman, a daugh
ter about eighteen, and three sons.
These form the corps reserve, while
one or two hired men assist in guard
ing against surprise and doing the
work about the rancho. Outside of the
house, and ten feet from it, are the for
tifications, which completely surround
it. The walls of defense are built of
sod taken from the surface of the prairie,
being about two feet thick at the bot
tom and ono at thd top, the height be
ing five feet; near the top loop holes
aro frequent, affording range in all di
roctions. Through this wall, opposite
the front door, is an opening abou t three
foot wide, and bags of sand lying near
to barricade the same if required.
"The Indians, who have often by
treachery and open attack tried to de !
stroy this fort and murder its occu
pants, have as often been beaten, till
they now have a wholesome fear of the
determined Godfrey and his brave
family. They hate him with a bitter
hate, and declare they will yet have
his hair, and Godfrey delares that they
shall not.
"The bluffs are about six miles from
Fort Godfrey, and distinctly visible.
Behind these bluffs the Indians watch
for chances. A. few weeks since God
frey saw a fine antelope near his rancho,
and taking his long rifle he started in
pursuit. In the excitement of the
chase he failed to notice the distance,
and, nearing the bluffs, a party of sev
en Cheyennes, who bad boon watching
as usual, 'went for him.' The old man
started, but his horse was too slow,
and the Indians were gaining upon
him rapidly. Here experience served
him. Knowing that his long rifle
would roach farther than the carbines
with which his pursuers were armed,
ho suddenly stopped hie horse, took
deliberate aim over the baelr. of the
steed, and laid one of the savages low.
This occasioned a delay with them,
which Godfrey improved. But, two
taking care of the dead Indian, four
followed on, and in a short time God
frey repeated the operation,killing ono
more.
"This last delay saved him; but be
ing cut off from his rancho be found
shelter in another rancho, about ten
miles from home. Item was now a
chance for the rod skins. 'Old Wick
ed' ~tway, and his family without his
aid. It was chance not to be neg
lected, and soon about fifty attacked
the fort,, expecting to revel in the
blood of the family of their bitter the.
The family had time to prepare for
them, and received them handsomely.
Mrs. Godfrey and the daughter load
ing, while the male members defended.
The battfe raged for twenty-four hours,
but the determined, bravo men and
women held their own till the stages
approached, and tho . Indians ‘vamoos
,ed the rancho' in double quiek. Thus
the pioneers of our country live in per
ils and dangers constantly, without
aid or sympathy from the government
which ought to afford them sure'p.ro
tection.'",-
Mir The Hartford Times advises pao•
ple to get up before fivo o'clock in the
morning and "See Venus, the beauti
ful morning star." A. newly married
man requests us to say to the Times
that he can "see'Venus without the
trouble of 'rising air that unseemly
hotir."
-PERSEVERE.-
A Fair Burglar.
A Drosdon correspondent thus writes
of what happened him on awakening
in the morning, after a night's sleep in
"private quarters :"
You can imagine my terror, when,
upon early day our'door was opened
and a female form slowly and care—
fully glided into our room, and corning
to the head of my - bed, took from off
the bed post my vest. I sawkit all with
ono eye partially opened ;'but what
could I say ? I dared not make a
noise, for I could not be understood if
I spoke.
,She felt my watch and drew
it out carefully, disengaging the chain
from the button hole. P , cold chill
came over me, but I remained as quiet
as.a stone. She laid the watch upon
the table; next took my coat, in which
was my little stamps, circular notes,
bills of exchange, memorandum book,
passport, &c. These she gracefully
drew out and plaCed upon the table.
Next came my pants from close beside
my bed. These she took. Next my
overcoat, which hung upon the rack.
Then she proceeded to the opposite
side of the room, and performed a like
ceremony with apparel of my compan
ion, when, with our boots, she disap—
peared from the room. As she closed
the door we both at upright in the
bed and wondered what all that meant.
We had observed the operation with
a single eye, and equally fearful of ma
king an alarm. Then I was sorry that
1 had not found some method to do
my camel. Here we are—two poor,
blind, miserable fellows, many thous
and miles from home, and note thread
to put on. I thought of my family
and my neighbors' families—now they
bad clothing to spare, but—well, a
thought occurred to me that this was
the way they got so many statues for
the public parks, museums and build.
ings. Perhaps, they take just such
specimens as we and set them up.
Perspiration ran down my hack and I
was in a cold sweat. I felt bad. I had
lett my watch and my money; what
good is all this without wearing ap
parel ? I have been where I wanted
food and had plenty of money, but I
could not buy a mouthful. Now lam
in a place with money and no clothes.
After those horrid forebodings had.per
plexed my soul for half an hour, the
door again opened, and the same fe•
male entered with all our wearing ap
parel nicely brushed and cleaned, and
our boots with the glossiest kind•of a
black. It is a custom of the country,
that's all, and I feel better now.
BEGAN TO LAUGG.-A clerical friend
at a colobrated watering place, meta
lady who seemed hovering on the edge
of the grave. klei' cheeks wore wan
and hollow, her manner listless, her
steps languid, and her brow wore the
so7cro contraction so indicative both
of mental and physical suffering, so
that she was to all observers an object
of sincerest pity.
some years afterward ho encounter
ed this same lady, but so bright, and
fresh, and youthful, so fell of healthful
buoyancy, and sojoyous in expression,
that ho questioned himself with regard
to identity.
"Is it possible," said ho, "that I see
before me Mrs. B. who presented such
a doleful appearance at tho springs
several years ago 7" "
"The very same." •
"And pray toll me, madam, the se
cret of your cure 7 What means did
you use to attain to such vigor of mind
and body, to such cheerfulness and re
juvenation 'I"
"A very simple remedy," returned
she, with a beaming face. "I stopped
worrying and began' to laugh; that
was all."
WOMAN.—As a dove will clasp its
wings to its side, and cover and conceal
the arrow that is preying on its vitals,
so it is the nature of woman to hide
from the world the pangs of a wounded
affection. With her the desire of the
. heart has failed. The groat charm of
existence is at an end. She neglects all
the cheerful exercises that gladden the
spirits, quicken the pulse, and send the
tide of life in cheerful currents through
the veins. Her rest is broken, the
sweet refreshment of sleep are poison
ed by melancholy dreams, "dry sorrow
drinks her blood" until her feeble
frame sinks under the last external
assailant. Look for her after a little
while, and you will find friendship
weeping over her untimely grave, and
wondering that ono who but lately
glowed with all the radiance of health
and beauty should uow be brought to
"darkness and the worm." You will
be told of some wintry chill, some
slight indisposition that laid her low,
but no ore knows the mental malady
that previously snapped her strength,
and made her so easy a prey to the
spoiler.

66y'A young lady Who is up among
the White Mountains, writes to a
friend, confid6ntially : “It is delightful
to climb pp these hills, with a youtig
man to help you in the' steep places
and eat a luncheon with you on the
summit." She is evidently a, young
lady of taste and experience.
AN OPPORTUNE' ARRIVAL:—In the
year 1849 I was engaged in collecting
outstanding debts due the Apalachian,
a paper published in Blairsville, India
na county, Pennsylvania, and my busi
ness led me to the Cherry Tree, at the
headwaters of the Susquehanna river.
It was in May, and the flowers wore
out in all their pristine beauty. The
water in the river was still pretty high,
and I had ridden some distance along
the bank when my path diverged from
the river side some, distance, and then
suddenly came back to the margin,
just where the river took a turn and
the water deepened. 'As 1 approliched
I heard some- one sobbing as if in, the
greatest distress, and op looking down
tho river I discovqted - it young girl,
apparently, about fifteen or sixteen
years of age, and remarkably good
looking, wringing her, hands and moan
ing in the most deplorable manner: I
asked her what was the matter, and
between hor sobs I made out the fol
lowing:
was playing on this—log—and—
my baby fell in the water, and—th—
there it goes down th—there '
And upon looking dowri the stream
about four or five yards from - the shore
there floated a child, its one little hand
raised above the rippling waves, while
its little head and `ace bobbed up and
down with every curve of the water.—
Without a moment's thought I sprung
from my horse and into the stream;
a few strokes brought me up to the
little 'innocent.' Carefully putting
my left hand under it, and holding it
almost completely out of the water
with my right, I made my way to
shore and carefully gathering it in my
arms, I laid it gently in the arms of its
little nurse; but judge of my surprise
when I beheld—for I had not time to
look at it before—that it Was, a doll
baby, with a china head 1 On looking

didn't overtake-him until I bad footed
it for more than seven miles. I can't
hoar the sight of a doll baby since. If
I ever come across that girl again—
well, I suppose she is a girl no longer,
and has found out the difference ere
this between real and doll babies; but
I wonder if she remembers the strang
er who rescued her darling ?
EMBARRASSING CIRCUMSTANCES.—A
gentlemanly conductor was collecting
fares from the passengers of a very full
car ono morning. All paid promptly
except ono fat old lady, who sat next
the door, and who seemed to be reaeh•
ing down as if to got something she
bad dropped on the floor. When her
time came to pay she raised her head,
and thus addressed the blushing youth:
alters, when I travels, carry my
money in my stockin', for you sees no
thing can get at it thar without I fool
it, and I'd thank you, young man, jist
to retch it for me, as I'm so jammed
in that I can't git to it."
The youth looked at the other pas
sengers, some of whom wore laughing
at his plight; ono or two young ladies
among them blushed scarlet, and ho
beat a sudden retreat, muttering some
thing about not charging old ladies,
etc. His cash was short that morning
the fare of one passenger.
THE Panmium SEWING - MACHINE.—
One of the kind that man can love,
that wears a shawl and a soft kid
glove; has the merriest eye and the
daintiest foot, and sports the charm
ingest gaiter boot; and a bonnet with
feathers, ribbons and loops, and an in
definite number of - hoops. Ono that
can dance, and poasibly—flirt, and
make a pudding as well as a shirt;
one that can sing without droliping a
stitch, and play the housewife, lady or
witch; ready to give us the sagest ad
vice, and do up our collars and things
so nice. We like the sort that can
laugh and talk, and take our arm for
an evening walk; that will do whatev
er the owner may choose, with the
slightest perceptible turn of the screws;
'tis the cleverest thing that ever was
seen, our wonderful family sewing ma
chine.
HAVE YOUR OWN OPINION.—The
Knoxville Commercial gives a word or
two of wholesome advice : Think for
yourself, act for yourself, speak for
yourself, honestly and independently.
Woe unto any man who" thinks he can
get through the world by endeavoring
to please everybody. All persons have
a right to their own opinion, and he is
a coward who dares not at the proper
time and in a proper way express
them. It is a false conclusion for any
one to reach, if he concludes nay one
will respect him for suppressing the
conviction of his mind. We say, judge
for yourself; wear your own colors in
spite of wind and weather, storms and
sunshine. It costs the vaseilating and
irresolute ten times the trouble to shuf
fle and twist that it does honest, manly
independence to stand its ground.

EE A WOMAN
Oft I've heard a gentle mother,
As the twilight hours began,
Pleading with a son on duty,
Urging him to be a man,
But unto her blue-eyed daughter,
Though with love's words quite as ready,
Points she out the other duty--
"Strive, my dear, to be a lady,"
What's a lady ? Is it something
Made of hoops, and silks, and airs ;
Used to decorate the parlor,
Liko the fancy rings and chairs?
Is it one that wastes on novels
Every feeling that is human ?
If 'tie this to be a lady,
'Tie not this to be a woman.
Mother, then, unto your daughter
Speak of something higher far,
Than to be mere fashion'slady
"Woman" is the brightest star.
If ye, in your strong affection,
Urge your son to be a true rnan,
Urge your daughter no less strongly
To arise and be a woman.
Yes, a woman I brightest model
Of that high and perfect beauty,
Whore the mind, and soul, and body,
Blend to work out life's great duty,
Be n woman ; naught is higher
On the gilded list of fame ;
On the catalogue of virtue
There's no brigtcr, holier name.
Be a woman! on to duty;
Raise the world from all that's low,
Place high in the social heaven
Virtue's bright and radiant bow.
Lend thy influence to each effort
That shall raise our nature human;
Be not fashion's gilded lady—
Be a bravo, wholed-aouled, true woman

Scene on a Steamboat.
NORFOLK, Va., Augusi,
The seeds so industriously sown by
the Radical leadere are beginning to
bear fruit. On Saturday last the Nor
folk and Peninsula delegates were re
turning from the Radical convention
at Richmond on the steamer Mystic,
and at dinner time the colored portion
of the passengers proocoded to occupy
the flrst table, Some objection was
made by a white passenger,' and quite
a scene ensued.' Pistols and knives
were flourished, but no blood was shed.
The irrepressible sons of Africa, how
ever, carried the day. A colored lady
was triumphantly escorted to the ta
ble by a white Radical from Norfolk,
and those white passengers who did
not choose to eat with colored folks
went dinnerless. Some white ladies
on board retreated to,the captain's sa
loon, where dinner was sent them.
The captain of the boat vainly endoav
ordd to maintain the supremacy of the
white element. The darkics threaten
ed to put him ashtre if he made fur—
ther trouble, and take charge of the
boat themselves. Col. Gibson, of
Gen. Schotield's staff, was aboard. It
will soon come to pass that the "se—
cesh" whites will be obliged to eat at
the second table when colored folks
aro present. Northern Radical whites
will, for a while, be allowed to associ
ate on equal terms with colored folks;
but the time will soon porno when the
darkoy will treat the white -Yankee
Radical with as much contempt as ho
does the mean white trash of the South.
Your true African is a great aristocrat
at heart.
"When two ride on one horse, one
must needs ride behind." So it will
be in the' South. It is a delusion which
practical observation soon dispels to
suppose the two races in the South can
associate on equal terms, Qne•or the
other must ride formost. From their
nearly equal numerical condition the
race that receives the moral support
of the North will eventually predomi.
nate.
As was expected, the "respectable"
whites received the cold shoulder at
Richmond Republican convention.—
As it was only a mass meeting, of
course Hunnicutt and his Richmond
crowd controlled it. Botts and the
Albemarle respectablos were nowhere.
Reports from the wheat crop contin
uo unfavorable. Every farmer I have
yet heard from, who has thrashed, re 7
ports a yield from twenty•fiVe to fifty
per cent, less than his expectations.—
The climate of Eastern Virginia, of
late years, seems unfavorable to wheat.
A yield of five to seven bushels per
acre is all that can be counted on.—
Peruvian guano and :Baugh's super
phosphate were both tricd,on the late
crop, and alike without any percepti
ble bonofit. Corn is looking tolerably.
A yield of twelve bushels per acre may
be counted on as an average crop.—
Among the freedman tenant farmers,
fifty bushels of corn will in nine eases
out of ton be the entire product of a
year's farming. In a country whore
such farming predominates, everything
must rapidly tend to a dead level pi
absolute poverty.
Mr-Henry Ward Beocher says in his
new story: "Is Nature mere phenom
ena? or is it God's phenomena, meant
to convey something deeper than the
body catches—something for the soul?
Why, then, should you, a minister of
God, hupt through books for God, and
stand in pity of me, who use the Bible
as I would a Botany—which does not
contain living plants, but only word
descriptions of them ? If I would see
the plant itself, I must go out of the
book, to Nature. And the Bible can
not contain the truth itself, only the
word-forms, the lettered symbols of
truth. God does not live ?n book;
man goes not, live in a book. Love,
,
Soy; _flop, do fiat,
,cannot live
in a book. For the living' truth we
must go outside of the Bible, Xi 11,16 is.
but to religion what Botany is to gar
dens, meadows, and all their flowers!"
A Chinese maxim says : "We
xerptire four things of ',vdmen : That
virtue dwell in her heart; that toodes
ty play on her bro;w ; that sweetness
flow from her lips, and that industry
occupy her hand,"

Regarding Washing,
Among the trials and tribulations of
domestic life, few are less bearable
than-those which pertain to the laun
dry. For the utter inefficiency of Bid,
dy as a cook is fully equalled by the
total incapacity of Biddy as a washer
woman, and both are far exceeded - by
her superlative unskilfulness in ironing.
Thus Illaterfamilias is brought to shame,
and Paterfamilias exhibits wrath over
clothing that is only half-washed, dou
bly starched, and only ironed when
ironing is synonymous with scorching.
Perhaps a little light on. donieStic du
ties of this description may come tq
house-wives, young and old, from the
perusal of the , following from the lion,
treal Witizes§:— , ,
The evening previous to washing, all
the clothes should be gathered up and
assorted; woollens, colored clothes, un
bleached cottons, and linens and fine
clothes into their separate ' bandies.
Except woollens and colored• clothes,
all other kinds should be put to soak
over night, the very dirty parts'having
soap rubbed on them. If you • use a
washing fluid, it is. usually mixed in
the soaking water; if you use no wash
mixture, the next morning wring ot4
the clothes, and proceed to wash thorn
carefully through . two warm lathers;
then boil them in clean lather briskly,
but not longer than dhalfhour. Wash
them out of boil, •rinse through two
waters. The last rinsing water should
have a delicate tinge of blue, likewise
a small quantity of starch .for all cot ;
tons and linen; reserve chose you wish
stiffer for the last, and mix more starch
in the water. Some bosoms and col
lars,• skirts—in short, anything you
wish very stiff—should be dipped in
starch while dry. • Swiss ;and other
thin muslins and laces are dipped #l.
starch while dry, and then elapped
with the hands in the right conditiee
to iron. (.lalicoes, and lawn
of white grounds are washed like any
other white material, omitting boiling,
until the yellow tinge they, acquire
makes it absolutely necessary..
Un
bleached cottons and linens follow the
white clothes, through the same wa
ters; •but must in no case be boiled of
i
washed with them, as they continually
discharge a portion of their color, and
so discolor the white clothes. In di
recting the preparations for washing
fluids, we give the process employed
with them; but colored clothes, in - our
experience, can be washed in- none of
them without injury to the color. Cal
icoes, colored lawns, and- colored cot
tons and linens gendally, aro washed
through two suds and two rinsing wa-,
tors ; starch being used ih the last, as
all clothes look bolter and keep clean
longer if a little stiffened. Many cid ;
icoes will spot if soap is rubbed on
them ; they should bewashed_in ninth ;
er, A spoonful of ox gall to,
gallon of water will set the colors of
almost any goods soaked in it previous
to washing. A tea cup of lye in 'a
bucket of water will improve the color
of black goods._ A strong, clean tea of
common hay. mill Preserve the color of
those French linens so much used in
summer by both sexes. If the water in
which potatoes aro cooked 'is- saved
and boiled down it stiffens black calf-
coos as well as starch, and saves them
from the dusty and 'smeared look they:
so often have. Vinegar in the rinsing
water, for pink, or green calicoes, will
brighten them. Peering' answers the
same end for purples and blue. Col ;
ored and white flannels must be wash
ed separately; and by no means wash
after cotton or linen, as the lint from
these goods adheres to the flannel;
There should be a little blue in,the
rinsing water for white' flannels. Al
low your flannels to freeze after wag" :
ing in winter; it bleaches them. •
