THE IIUSTED FA MILT. I suppose that San Francisco in as safe and pleasant a capital to reside in as any in tbe world now but it waB not so when I first went there some twenty years BffO. It had sprung up like Aladdin's palace on the disoovery of gold in Cali fornia, and as the thousands who flocked thither were too delirious with the yel low metal fover too wild to got up to the beds of wealth, to think about laws, regulations, or police, every one did what was right in his own eyes ; and Vice and Crime wont to tlio wickets to gcthor, got hold of the ball, and had a grand innings. When the Anglo-Saxon love of order began to resumo its sway, matters grew worse, for the vilest crimi nals managed to assume the chief author ity, and carried on wholesale murder and pillage under the guise of protecting the citizens. This kind of thing could not last long; self-proteotion necessitated the establishment of lynch law, carried out by a Vigilance Committee, of which I was one of the most active members. I was very young, indeed I ought pro perly to have been an Oxford freshman at the time; but my poor father took a very harsh view of a little peccadillo I got into, and ah, well, well! I was young, I repeat, but knocking about the world matures a man rapidly, and some how I took a lead, and it was generally considered that I was the principal agent in bringing certain members of the most dangerous confederation in the town to rough justice. This was a band of desperadoes, headed by a clever, daring, enterprising villain, known as Tom Blood probably a sobriquet, and if so, one as appropriate as horrible. We could not catch this leader, but we hung up his four most reckless followers. Mr. Blood was aware to whom he was in debted, for this spoiling of his game, and honored me with an autograph letter, in which he confessed that it was my hour of triumph just then, but promised to be even with me one day. And he con firmed this assertion with oaths which might make a Ribbonman'g blood run cold. Some time after that I joined an ex pedition to Nicaragua, where I happened to become very intimate with a Spanish family. I played chess with the father, the sons taught me how to use the lasso, and the daughter lassoed me herself. So I married and settled settled literally, not in your sense. I bought land, and sheep, and oxen, and built a house, and led the life of the early colonist who has to clear away the forest before he can plant his crops. It was rnther lonely, when one had time to think about it, for our nearest neighbor lived ten miles off, and he was a deadly enemy. The fact was that he and I had both wanted the same land a fertile tract on the inland slope of the mountains rising to the south of the Great Lake ; and I believe that I was unduly favored in the allot ment through the influence of my father-in-law, which was considerable. At all events, the other fellow, Enrico, thought so, and loved me accordingly. Indeed, I happened to be the only Yankee," as I was considered, in the immediate dis trict, and my matrimonial success had cxtited some jealousy in Qranada. Another matter aiYeoted me much D$re. I often had to make the journey to Qreytown on business, and on one of ftisee occasions I went into the bar of the principal hotel, and suddenly found my self faoe to face with Tom Blood. I cfcnght hold of my pistol, expecting him to shoot, but he didn't. He only smiled, if you call the grimace the fellow made by that name, and said that he was glad to see me. " I can't jest pay thet little account we hev together on the nail," he said, " but I won't keep yer waiting long ; no !" " Take your time ; I have a receipt in full ready for you at any moment," I replied, as defiantly as possible. But I was startled; I had a wife and child now. The course of events did not tend to reassure me ; the country was in a very disturbed state, and Tom Blood, whose name soon began to grow a terror, espoused the political cause which was favored by Enrico, and the two were scan together by ono of my brothers-in-law. One day I had been out felling trees at a distance, and was returning in the evening, when, about two miles from home, 1 met my wife, with her baby in her arms, and looking wild. A stranger had ridden up, and asked for me, saying that there was an appointment. She had invited him in and given him food, but his manner was so queer that she took fright, and, making an excuse about attending to supper, had slipped out. Surprised not to see any of our people about, she went to the stable; it was empty 1 the horse of the stranger being picketed in frout of the house, and our own gone 1 Thoroughly alarmed, she had come to meet me, and now urged immediate night I demurred to this the man might really have come to buy bullocks ; but the disappearance of the horses i Queer, certainly ; yet it was a serious thing to leave home and property, not to mention the exposure of a woman to a long night maroh. I determined to go back, and judge whether her presentiment was well founded. Before we had gone far, how ever, I saw a glint among the trees in the distance, and threw myself down amongst the brushwood, whispering my wife to do the same and keep the child from crying. Two men rode leisurely up, following the path close to which we lay hid. One of them was speaking : " Oh, he is strong enough to hold half-a-dozen such as Mildmy. He will seize him when he hears the whistle ; then we rush in and " Here the cold-blooded villain threat ened horrors, in language the brutality of which I was thankful for: it prevented my wife, whose acquaintance with Eng lish was as yet imperfect, from under standing him. I recognized the voice of Tom Blood! They passed on. There was no question now about the necessity of flight. My plan was to cross the mountain ridge, strike the bridle-path, which took the route of tbe cataract, descend to the shores of the lake, take boat, and cross to Granada. Once down by the lake we were safe; for, though I could not reckon the peo ple in the small settlement there as my iwends, they were honest folks, and would not see me ruined and murdered by men like Tom Blood, were it but for tijfbir own security. The distance was trboot thirty miles only, but such miles ! part through tangled forest ; part over Steep mountain paths. Alone, indeed, I should have thought nothing of it ; but how could my wife, burdened as she was for I had to use my ax too often to ba able to carry the child how could she bear it V No use asking that; it bad to be done. Night soon fell upon us with tropical saddenness; and, after we bad gone Opaie live miles, our progress was alow, for I had to clear the brushwood at every step, disturbing many a noisome, deadly reptile, whioh glided hissing away. We feared them not, for they sought not to harm those who left them in peace ; it was Man, Cain-stamped Man, that we dreaded. Five hours' work, and the wood grew thinner, huge masses of rock bulging up amongst the trees. Then 1 was able to take the child, and we pressed on, up, up, toward the summit of the ridge. The treos grow yet sparser, until there were but a fow clumps of dwarfed flrs here and there ; and then we were often forced to halt I heard the sound of the over-roaring cataract, and we knew we wore among the precipices. Nothing but the most immediate peril would have justified our pursuing our course by night ; for though the path was fa miliar to me by daylight, it was easily missed in the dark, and there were many plaoes where a false step would be fatal. Then how should our enemies trace us P how guess the route we had taken ? We crouched under the lee of a sheltering rock for at that altitude the air was cold, and my wife was lightly clad and rested. Fortunately, my flask was not empty, and I had the remains of my midday meal in my pocket ; we finished what there was, and watched for the dawn. The baby cried with the cold, and even in that solitude I shuddered, lest the sound should betray us. Light in the east at last. We hasten ed on, and soon came in sight of the bridge over the cataract. One of the tributaries of tha Great Lake made two leaps hero as it rushed along its rocky courso tho first, a shorter one of some thirty feet, into, a pool where its volume was swelled by the rush of another mountain torrent which sprang simul taneously from the side ; then a terrible, appalling, suicidal dash into the un known depths. The edge of this water paved abyss was broken by a masB of rock which rose above the torrent, and this had been made uso of as the centre buttress of a rnd6 bridge. A fragile passage over such a nasty place merely a couple of poles laid DorTendicularlv from a peak which actually hang over the cataract, and a few logs nailed across them ; then a similar continuation to tbe further side. But the traveller to the shores of the Great Lake must cross there, or go ten miles out of his way ; so that the most delicate nerves must have braced themselves to the passage. Of course, we inhabitants thought noth ing of it ; we hailed the sight of it now with joy indeed. Hark I the bay of a bloodhound I I glanced along the way we had come, and saw our pursuers a dozen of them at least, two of them on horseback. "Take the child ! quick I" cried I. " Cross the bridge, turn to the left, keep to the natural steps close to tho brink, and you are safe !" She ran lightly over, holding; the child. I followed as far as the centre rock, and commenced cutting away the main poles ot tbe bridge with my ax, and I doubt whether woodman ever made his tool fly faster or bite deeper. On they came it was time-work with a vengeance ! Not on my wedding-day did I feel half the joy with which I now saw that frail wood-work part, swing back, and flash down the preciuioe just as the enemy came up ! I stepped across the other half of the bridge to where my wife had passed, to see the effect of my eaort ; then she turned in the di rection I had bidden her not too soon, for a bullet struck the spot where she had been standing. I was about to spring after her, when I per ceived that a man so reckless as Blood might, by a desperate leap, reach the centre rock, while to jump from thence to our side was impossible ; there was no run, and the landing was narrow and slippery. I had cut the wrong bridge I The only remedy was to chop this down, too, and I began to do it. The cloud ot spray partially concealed me ; but that the villains could make out what I was at was proved by several more pistol-bullets pattering against the rock behind me. But the rascals were out of breath, and could not shoot straight. Half-a-dozen blows, and the ruin of the bridge was complete : then a few steps took me out of sight of the pursuers, and to the side of ray brave little wife. "Safe!" I shouted in her ear. as I took the baby from her my girl, whom you know. iSetore the heat of the day, we were safe at the lake ; on the following morn ing we crossed to Granada. It was touch and go, though ; the bloodhound nearly beat us. That wretch, Tom Blood, got off scot free for the time ; but I had the pleasure of witnessing his being hanged, six months later. Mrs. Mildmy never liked the old place afterward, though, so I sold everything off at an alarming sacri fice, and went back to California, where I made my pile, as the Yanks say. But I doubt it I should ever have come back to the old country, if it had not given me a sort of disgust to have been hunted like a nigger hum I mean like a fox. How to See Down a Well. It is not generally known, says the Lancaster (Pa.) Intelligencer, how easy a matter it is to explore the bottom of a well, cistern, or pond of water, by the use of a common mirror. When the sun is shining brightly hold a mirror so that the collected rays of light will fall into the water. A bright spot will be seen at the bottom, so light as to Bhow tho smallest object plainly. By this means we have examined the bottoms of wells fifty feet deep, when half full or more of water, xne smallest Btraw or otner ob jects can be perfectly seen from the sur- tace. in tbe same way one can examine ponds and rivers, if the waters be some what clear and not agitated by winds or rapid motion. If a well or cistern be uuder cover, or shaded by a building so that the sunlight will not fall near the opening, it is only necessary to employ two mirrors, using one to reflect the light to the opening, and another to re flect it down into the water. Light may be thrown fifty feet or a hundred yards to the precise spot desirable, and then downward. We have used the mirror with success to reflect light around the house to a shaded well, and also to carry it from a south window through two rooms unci vueu iuvo a cistern under toe north side of the house. Half a dozen reflections of light may be made, though each mirror diminishes the brillianoy of me iigac. jjet any one not familiar with the method try it, and he will not only find it useful, but a very pleasant experiment. It will perhaps reveal a mass of sediment at the bottom of the well that baa been little thought of, but which may have been a frightful source of disease by its decay in the water.

Spelling Schools, nave you forgotten them P When from all the region about they were gathered in the log school-house with its huge fireplace yawning like the entrance of Avernus ? How the sleigh-bells, big in the middle of the string and growing? small by degrees, and beautifully less towards the broad brass buckles, chimed in every direction long before night the gathering of the class! There came one to school, " the Master." Give him a capital M, for he is entitled to it Master, and all bundled into one huge red, double nlnigh, strewn with an abun dance of straw, and tucked up like a Christmas pi. with half a score of buf falo robes. There are a dozen cutters. each with a young man and a maiden, they two, no more. And there again a pair of jumpers, mounting a great out landish looking bin heaped up, pressed down, ana running over, Scripture measure, with a small collection of hu manity picked up en route from a dozen homes, and all as merry as kittens in a basket of wool. And the bright eyes, and ripe red lips that one caught a glimpse of beneath those pink-lined, quilted hoods, and the silvery laugh that escaped the mufflers and fur tippets they wore then who does not remem ber P Who can ever forget them P The school-house destined to be the arena of the conflict has been garnished, boughs of evergreen adorn tho smoked, stained and battered walls. The pellets of chewed paper have all been swept irom me ceiling, and two pails of water brought from the spring and set on a bench in tho entry, with an immemorial tin cup a wise provision, indeed, for warm is that spoiling room ! The big boys have fanned and replen ished the fire, till the old chimney fairly jars with the roaring flames, and the sparks fly out of the top like a furnace, and as a name of the battle. The two "Masters" are there, and such a moving to and fro 1 Will they swarm P The ferule comes down upon the desk with emphasis. What the roll of the drum is to the armies, the " rule " is to this whispering, laughing company. Tho challengers are one side of the house, the challenged on the other. Back seats, middle seats, low front seats are all filled. Some of the fathers and grand fathers, who could, no doubt, upon occa sion " Shoulder the crutch And show how Holds were won," occupy the bench of honor near the desk. Now the preliminaries. The reputed best speller on each side chooses. " Su san Brown." Out comes a round-eyed creature, blushing like a peony. Such a uiLiu vuiug. Moses Jones. Out comes Moses, an awkward fellow, with a shock of red hair, shockingly harvested, surmounting ma Drow. me gins laugn at bim, but what he don't know in the Elementary, isn't worth knowing. Jane Murray. Out trips Jane, flutter ing as a bride, and takes her place next to the caller. She's a pretty girl, but a sorry speller. Don't you hear the whis pers round the house P "Why, that's John's sweetheart." John is the leader, and a battle lost with Jane by his idi, would be sweeter than a victory without her. And so they go, " calling names," un til five or six champions stand forth to do battle, and the contest is fairly be gun. Down goes one after another, as words of three syllables are followed by those ot tour, and those again of similar pro nunciation and divers signification, un til Moses and Susan remain. The spelling-book has been exhausted, and still they stand. Dictionaries are turned over, memories are sacked for " Words of lengthy souud," until, by-and-by, Moses comes down like a tree, and Susan flutters there still, a little loaf aloft, that the forest and fall bave forgotten. Pollysyllables follow, and by-and-by Susan hesitates just a breath or two, and twenty tongues are working their way through the labyrinth of letters in a twinkle. Little Susan sinks into the chink left for her on the crowded seat, and there is a lull in the battle. Then all get in solid phalanx by schools, and the struggle is to spell each othor down. And down they go, like leaves in winter weather, and tho victory is declared for our district, and tbe school ib dismissed, Then comes the hurrying and bun dling, the whispering and glancing, and pairing off and tumbling in. There are hearts that flutter, and hearts that ache; " mittins " that cannot be worn, hopes that are not returned. There is a jing ling among the bells at the door, and one after another dash up, receive their freight, and are gone. "Our Master" covers the fire and snuffs the candles (don't you remember how he used to pinch the smoking wick with his forefiger and thumb, and then thrust each helpless luminary head first in tbe socket t) and we wait tor mm.

F. Taylor. A Vessel's Crew Saved by u Bog. The brig Emma, from Liverpool, was lost ono stormy night last winter, near St. John's, Newfoundland. A heavy swell setting into the night, the vessel became unmanageable, and Anally went on shore. The cook, an Italian, jumped overboard, with the intention of saving the crew by means of a rope attached to his person, but the surf on tbe shore cost the noble fellow his life. The captain and crew succeeded in getting on shore, the vessel parting Bbortly afterward, Here we must record one of tbose in stances of suet city peculiar to the dog, which are much oftener read of than witnessed so near borne. A fisher man, of the name of Mayo, living near the scene of the wreck, with two sons, was aroused from sleep by the barking and scratching of their dog outside the door, and supposing some person was lurking aronnd the premises, they got up, when tbe movements of tbe animal attraoted their attention, and they fol lowed mm to the edge of a precipice, some seventy feet high, at the foot of which the captain and his men bad landed. This circumstance saved their lives, for the surf was beating so furious ly around them, that it was found nec essary to haul thein up with ropes.

I have kept bees for thirty-one years; have had good luck with them and a great deal of pleasure with them. You have, no doubt, often heard bun men speak of bees hanging out, or in other words, coming out on the outside of the hive and play there for ssveral days. I have had them commence making combs under tho hive; for fear that 1 should lose a swarm I have spent a great many weeks in watching them. Two years ago, I thought, as I was watching thorn, 1 could hear thorn whispering and say ing, " Do givo ns a home." So I went and got un ompty hivo and washed it out with salt and water and molasses, nnd set it closo by the other hive whore the bees were hanging out, took a big pan and a house brush, wet the pan ana brush with the sweetened water, then brushed the bees very carefully into the Iian and turned it up against tne empiy live and lot it remain there while I took the old hive away about ten or fifteen feet. Then I returned and shook the pan very gently and the bees all went in and went to work like busy bees, I assure you. I made five swarms in the same way. and I never had bees work better. Last season I had but two swarms ; they came out at the same time and settled on a tree close by, and I hived them in the old-fashioned way. I use the square hive, thirteen inches square and fourteen inches high, with a pane of glass on the back Bide, the whole bigness of the hive covered with a slide. For a cap I made a box eight by ten, with a glass eight by ten on the back side, with a slide so I can look in and see when the cap is full. I have a two inch hole directly in front, under the cap, through which the bees go into the cap. Had I made the above discovery of swarming bees thirty years ago I could have saved hundreds of dollars. For my caps on the same hives I havo tin frames seven by nine, filled in with glass, except the lower part, which sets on the main hive, on the two-inch hole. When I take off the cap I have a tin cover to fasten on with little wire hing es. I put the eight by ten wooden caps over the glass caps and putty them down so the millers cannot get in. My hive sets on wire cloth raised one inch, with a drawer under each hive for the millers to work in. I have taken out fifteen millers in one morning. Useful Herbs. There should be a good collection of useful herbs in every garden, or in some other place adjoin ing tho homestead. Some persons find the apiary to be an excellent place for growing herbs, as many of them pro duce an abundance of flowers early in the spring, and all furnish very desira ble food for the bees. A small bed of each kind will supply the requirements of a large family. , The following are some of the most desirable herbs, etc. : Balm a hardy perennial plant, the leaves of which have a lemon like odor and an agreeable aromatio taste. They are used for flavoring dishes. A solution of them iB beneficial in diseases of the lungs. Basil the leaves when bruised have tho odor and flavor of cloves, and are used for seasoning. Caraway a hardy perennial plant, valuable for its seeds, which are used in oontectionery and also in distillation. Coriander a hardy annual cultivated for its seeds, which are used by confectioners, drug gists and distillers. The young leaves are used in soups and salads. Lavender a hardy, shrubby plant, of whioh there are several varieties, it is sometimes used for seasoning, but it is more es teemed for making the distilled water which bears its name. Uommon mario. ram a sbiubby perennial plant, which may be raised from seeds, but is gener ally propagated by dividing the roots either in the spring or autumn. Tbe young shoots, cut at the time of flower ing and dried in the shade, are used for seasoning. The plant is highly aromat ic, bweet marjoram is raised from seeds sown annually in the spring or early in autumn. This plant is highly aromatic, and is much used both in tbe green and dry state for flavoring soups, eto. Kose mary is a half hardy, shrubby plant, which requires a lig'-t, dry sou and shel- tered situation. Cultivation of Corn. Success in corn growing depends very materially upon early cultivation. If this crop is neglected in its early growth it will not recover from the effects during its entire season of development. With a good start a fair crop at least may be expect ed, even if no attention is given it after the hrst of July. The cultivator should be started as soon as the rows may be distinctly seen, and the stirring of the ground should be repeated often enough to entirely prevent the growth ot weeds, Every farmer knows that weeds may be very easily kept in subjection if attend ed to when they first make a start, and that if allowed to get a firm root-hold days of labor will be required to work the same effect that is the result of early attention. Tbe killing of weeds is not the only benefit derived from stirring the soil in the torn field, and even if the ground is entirely free from the pest the plough should not be allowed to lie idle. So much nourishment is drawn from the atmosphere that poor soil will yield a fair return if the land is kept loose. Es pecially is this so in a dry Beaton. If the horso and cultivator are kept going during a drought of several weeks in the growing season the corn will not appear to be checked in its advance. Loose soil absorbs the dews and dampness from the atmosphere, while a crusted surface will tako in but little, and that little will not reach the roots of tho growing crop. We havo seen corn in early sum mer suffering for the want of moisture to such an extent that tho leaves of the stalks were rolled up, put on an appear ance that would follow a refreshing shower by simply receiving a thorough dressing out. If twenty days' work in a field of ten acres of corn will make an increase of one-half in the yield, to what employment can the farmer better give bis time than to this work r Bone Dust foe Poultry. Last win ter I procured two barrels of bone dust, intending to use it for Irish potatoes ana other garden crops. My wife ap Sropriated some of it for ber roses in the ower garden by simply strewing it on the ground around the bushes. The fowls, having free aocess to the garden. were disoovered eating the meal very eagerly. Thinking it might be of ser vice to them we gave them some for sev eral weeks, and I assure you it was but a snort time before the eggs began to come in such numbers as we had never known before. If a nest was broken up to prevent a hen from setting, it was but a few days before she was laying again, and thus it continues to the pres ent time. One hen has taken possession of a barrel that has some bone meal in it and is laying in the meal. Whether she will lay tho barrel full or not time will show.

Bovs and girls are not the same. Thov are born different, and Bhow it while they aro infants. Tho boy baby is rest- i ... i . loss mill tiin?iny iu uia muiun b urus. He is never still except when n sleep, and oven then tumbles from si do to side in his crib, with sudden flings of arms and legs. When he grows beyond baby hood ho plays differently. Without ever being told of it, lie instinctively turns away from dolls, lays them aside in in difference, and freely gives them to whatever littlo girl will have them. He demands tops, and marbles, and drums ; turns down chairs for horses, lays hold of all tho strings in the houso for lines, wants all the little sticks made into whips, mounts sofas and drives four in hand ; he asks for guns, and wants you to tell him stories of bears, and lions, and tigers, and is amused beyond meas ure at their leaping upon and eating up cows and oxen. The girl baby is gen tle, even from the first, and looks quietly out of the blue eyes, or laughingly out of tho black ones. She takes naturally to her dolls, and never wearies of dress ing them and arranging the baby-house ; she is gentlo in her plays, and would be frightened with what would fill her brother with a paroxysm of delight ; she loves fairy tales, and will not laugh ana ask some absurd question about the Babes in the Woods, but rather cries over their sorrows. The sister will smooth pussy, and hold her lovingly in her lap, while tho brother wants to see if the cat can jump ; and when she tries to get out of his undesirable company, will detain hor by the leg or tail. And these same divergencies of disposition and character perpetuate themselves as the boy or girl grows older. There are exceptions, it is true; some boys have all the tastes and gentleness of a femi nine nature, and some girls have much that is masculine. We do not regret seeing it in each. The gentlo boy will not mako any the loss noble man be cause there was so much that was girl like in his childhood ; nor will the girl that was, in her rudeness, often called a boy, be any the less, but, perhaps, all tbe more, a true and lovely woman. Causes of Modern Disease. Many of the seeds of disease which seem to spread so much more rapidly, virulently, and fatally, may be found in the perni cious method of heating adopted in houses containing the so-called "modern improvements." Instead of tho old- td8hioued fireplaces, which consumed a large amount of fuel and caused a cur rent of fresh, pure air from tho outside to rush into the apartment through every possible avenue, we now have stoves which burn a small amount of fuel, and the necessary heat is gained by tightly closing the doors and win dows to prevent the access of air, or, what is far worse, heated air from a fur nace is conveyed to tho room and there confined. The result of this effort to economize fuel is plainly manifested in the pallid checks and excitable nervous systems of tbose who are constantly sub jected to its influence.
