tra J.0 BI JESPIE BENTON FREMONT. The broad piazza of cur house at; Sti" Louis was tiwn " ; . i r , l t runners and i hunters, as well as of the traders to Santa Fe. and the irountainmen gen erallv. With these my father loved to talk, aud gain tbe knowledge af terward put to such tooduse. There, alio narratives of endurance, sagac itr 'daring and self-relying courage wVra told in the quiet, mattcr-of- m,mrpr nf men to whom the opposite qualities were unknown. i When Washington Irving was about to make his journey m the In dian country, he was often at our house while in St. Louis, and his rnmmenti on the simplicity ua well as the fine courage of these men was f-L r.rrention that there was anvthinguDUsual in them qualified to do justice to the best o tl,w,e onlv men who have shared thtir lives "can do so. But as a child in St. Lonis, then in our winter honie in v asningion, uu ujou. Jv - - after on our own frontier, on tnai oi, California, and m mug camping-out travel, 1 taa mmn i portunitics of knowing them weJ.

So "with our mountain men they we're not clerks, but great men. One of them, to vrhom I bad been raiKmr Mazenpa. said to me 'Head that part arain where he come back with twice five hundred men to thank him fur his courteous ride. That's the way I felt when :he Itlackfeet destroyed my caches, nd I went back and thanked them Now if I had had reading r it. lite ihntl misbt have made a scholar.

II is instinct w as true and delicate, and led him to acts as correctly cour teous a1? the mot thorough training , eou'd d.". When the first boat that had ever reeled on the lonely, silent waters of tue Salt Lake made its way to the island near the ceuter, ami the man at tln bow was jumping ashore to draw her up, Carson held him down with "tl.! Captain steps there first" I liked greatly an expression of bis referring to a man who bad done him a mischief: "If ever I get the chance I will do him an honest injury." y ithing that was not honest and fair nd open and of good repute, found i place in this wholesome nature. (."arson had eminently the nature that rendered bun "surtout douce ct fscile dans le commerce de la vie" lie nature that comes from gentlenef-s l onibmed wuh strength, from that innate sense of justice which gives t others what we require for our selves, from a beaaby nature to which cheerfulness is so natural that instinctively they feel it3 lack and seek to impart it. To such a nature tbe morbid, the nervous, the heart sick and wearv, come and are com f irted. aad feel as invalids do wbea .Ley get into those favored climates rbere an even temperature and the certainty of daily returning sunshine and no surprises of frosts or rains, insensiblv bring calm and bealine Such a nature attracts to itself and retains only what is best in all it meets, and as the character engraves itself upon the countenance, so the many years since I had seen Carson had done their ennobling work so ef fectually that my old friend was per fectly in keeping with the beautiful library ot the friend's house in which we met again. He Lad Jived what we idealize in writings and love to read of. And abou'i him, too, was the dignity of coming dealb. I had been written to from ash ington that Carson was there, ill and depressed; that he bad not consulted i physician yet, but thought he had bad the heart injured in an accident; that if I would urge him to come to me and be well nursed and see a physician, something might yet be done, although his condition seemed very serious. Carson had been for years an important part of my life, when it was all filled with energetic action, and when true friends in the old home matched for and protected the absent, and welcomed them back cn the return from long dangers; and now that death, and political dif ferences as relentless, and the war, had completely ended that life, I saw, fur the last time, one of the few who had not changed from that old time of youth and health and friends and a complete home. But Carson was only troubled by my emotions, and told me with bis own simpiicitv of courage, that be bad sen Dr. Savre, who told him he might live to reach his home, (at Taos, near banta Fe,) but that he might also die at any moment, as the Leart was fatal v injured by the ac cident from which Carson dates his illness. In trying to save a mule, Le bad Iiecome wound in its lariat, and both fell together over a steep preci pice Larsons left side getting tbe blow as he fell on the rocks below His open air and absolutely temperate lite delayed tbe inevitable end. His only wij-h now was to get home and not let his wife have the shock of hearing of his death. "Yesterday I thought I was gone," he told me. The Indian ehief who was with him in Lis room told him wbat he had said he himself only knew that all at once "he felt the bed rise with him" and with that a "drowning feeling," but with a new, strange element which made him cry ont, "Lord Jesus, have mercy !" "I do not know I said it, but I know I might for it's only tbe Lord can help ma where I am now." The chief had taken him from the bed and carried him to an open win dow. "I noticed he was crvintr 'Whafe that;for?' I asked him. 'lie cause yoa looked dead, and vou call ed Lord Jesns.' " I giva this much of onr dear old friand'e saered last talk with roe be cause those wha knew him best were the most pained by the 6ingnlarly untr ae use made of his name by one incuri We of anderrtanding turn.

Y. Lcdjcr. 'tint! Can it be possible that neatly ap parelled and sober-looking emblem of domestic discipline seated by the fire is suspected of nightly participation in the most riotous proceedings when "encral humanity have retired to re.-t, full of jealous doubt3 and with outrageous clamor, fighting through the dark, ambiguous hours, reckless of all order and local peace? Cir cumstantial evidence is strong against him, though daylight sce3 bis calm face, and, as usual, undisorder ap pearance at the earliest mesl hour. Our fireside companion is no other than the midnight brawler the quar rel picker, whose outcries rend the still air and wuose most inviting v oice arouses the sleep of indignation and the practice of nocturnal trajectory with hap-nazard materials in nis in definite direction. Yet if his placid countenance is to be taken for testi mony an alibi might be proved. How he c'.mes so clean and trim from his chosen scenes of antagonism in out of the way corners, deserted lots nnd general rubbish, is a marvel; certain it is bis unexceptional condition is uurcconcilable with established repu tation. Ilia large family connection infuse no respectable restraint upon his habits, inasmuch as be is ready to take up a dispute with his own rel atives and strangers indiscriminately; though to do him justice, he never injures one of the weaker sex, but, on the contrary, is ever willing fo fight for her rcgardlessof the frequent occasion. This Don Giovanni of the back sheds this basbaw of man tails with an arrear serairlio this tenor of the yards is no other than our special favorite, "Thomas" (his surname we suppress), just now doing bis ruus- tachios and back hair, an employment occupying all his leisure moments during the day, when not recupera ting bis nerves in sleep, iiisien to his deferential and melodious res ponse to the touch of approval; can he be the author of those frightful yells (upper register) that alarm the sacred hours of Somnusr Observe the graceful, waving elevation of bis caudal attachment, in changing lines of beauty, sleek and smooth ; is it the same appendage darkly seen fly ing over fences like an animated hand brush, associated with discordant ex- clamations.expostulative screams.rag' ins shrieks and acciaccaturas of an- cuish? Alasl there is no doubt of it. for loud have been the remon strances of broken rest carelully traced to the domicils of Tom. A neighbor of explosive disposition (aud under such condition blind to localitv) culminated his indignation in a charjre of shot, starring the kitchen windows opposite, to his sub seouent relation with a trlazier. De nunciatory expletives (in the most condensed form) Lave been heard (rom open casements while Thomas was settling one ot bis numerous preemption claims to the collective arrear. Missiles of crockery, hurled by bancs nerveless from recent re pose, fail crashing in the wron? place, and on one occasion elevated too much, passing first through the window panes. ordinary projectile ever an swered tbe onject till one genius in troduced the emplovrocnt of torpe docs, which, spreading like canister and grape, effectually disperse a large vocal party Tom had somehow col lected and was leading in a bass bar itone, bis usal fine tenor being reduc ed for tbe time by a bronchial affec tion caught while on a distant mis sion in behalf of the Latter Day Cats. As near as we can calculate, he has a polygamatic control of twelve double sheds and a blind alley (the latter perilous from line shts). Over these he has fought a thousand ques tions of precedence, bis later expert ence being rendered more difficult by some intervening improvements of high lattices, over which active young Tomdon escapes the more extreme penalties of claws in the constitution. Alreadv the signs of superseding in fluence have threated the feline Den- tatus in several severely contested combats, requiring all the address and skill of our veteran, but as yet be live3 to successfully tally his scores of victories on the retreating backs of bis envious opponents. We were once a witness to one of these warlike meetings on rather even circumstances. A Maltese stranger, dropping from a tall fence, suddenly became rigid on touching the ground, having unexpectedly found himself in the presence of Tom, who also struck an attitude at tbe same time, developing bis tail latterly, the ter minus only exhibiting action in con vulsive twitches. Both instinctively felt that a meeting was unavoidable, yet hesitated to take tbe initiative; but tbe Maltese, being on the slippery edge of a Rubicon ditch, was finally compelled to leap across, though much encumbered by bis enlarged continu ation trailing heavily behind him. At this moment Tom instantly made! a dromedary's bunch, but his oppo nent, having resumed his statuesque caution, tbe back gradually subsided into a compromise of electrified fur, accompanied by a demonstrative bum! and broadsword cuts one and two of bis tail Strictly speaking, he had the advantage of superior elevation. and as his enemy softly extended a paw to imperceptibly cain ground and flank a position. Thomas sud denly ptruck out from the sbooldcr and raked his adversary's cars.

The fur began to be detached freely, nnd some ques tion of our favorite's sanitary con dition began to arise in our mind, when a small boy shouting from a window near by caused the Maltese to breuk away and scramble over the fence, Tom'making backgammon lines on him to the last moment. An immediate inspection of the veteran's exterior resulted in finding no scratch, nor was he out of breath (a peculiarity of cats,) a phenome non of cscap'o after such a reciprocal action of necdieiite ciaws, uui lis adversary must have suffered in as cending the fence with Tom close be hind, repidly telegaaphing the latest intelligence along his spine. But now our friend sits by tbe hre, slumbering oblivious of past or future caterwauls. The rodentia be ing shy of the house, his position is a sinecure, coming under the bead of ornamental, In which sundry com patriots rejoice in apothecaries' win dows. These feline attaches have ever had appreciation ot civilized com forts aud a recognized position in human society, of which history fur nishes proof. Certainly there are no wild ones of the species. The proverbial cosy quietness of Grimalkin during the day is balanced by excursions at night, a sort of com pensation of one extreme for the other; aud this suggests a striking analogy between cats and well, no matter but they do look so charm ingly got up, so graceful, of such delightful purr aud winning manner, but all of a sudden in goes the velvet and out comes the daw! Alas! Tabby (or Thomas) is but the crea ture of accidental motives, of present action with the narrow reflection of habit and instinct ; yet we are fond of our erratic attachment, and per haps "love him tor the danger he ba3 passed." Kwcct Corn for Vrren Summer Fodder. A Western friend sends us gome remarks of bis on this subject, in which he takes the ground that sweet corn, from its sacking propensities, is more profitable than the common ve' low corn, lie says: The finest fodder is raised from Mammoth .Sweet Corn sown fur that purpose it being of large growth and suckering freely on good soil. If to be fed during short pasturage in sum mer, it should be wilted at least twenty-four hours before feeding. If for winter use, it should be well cured before storing, as it contains so much sugar that it spoils very soon. Our practice is to wilt it two days, turning it on the second day, and then set it up in larirc shocks and there let it tand till wanted, load by load. We Cn 1 it the best and cheapest feed, and on our rich garden lands as profitable as most of our vegetable crops. e sow it in furrows three feet apart, tight or ten kernels to a foot in length Afier one or two workings the shade covers the grouud. It can be cut with a busb-hook or, what is better, with a stout reaper, and left in bundles, if you have two men to remove them. Tbe Pic The pig was thus written up by Georgia boy, whose composition was published in bis local paper, tbe Grif fin News, and was as follows: "The pig is as big as a sheep, only nis's wool isn't c;ood for making stockings of. Why is a pig like a tree? Recause he roots; that is a conundrum. A pig washes himself in mud. A pig has four legs under each corner of bis body. Ihey pickle pigs' f;et, but not until the pig is done using 'em. A pig squeals awful when it rains, also when you pull its tail. A pig has got a first rate voice for squealing, and he grunts when he feels good. You can't make a whistle of a pig's tail, 'cos it is crooked. Why is a pig like Tommy Grant ? 'Cos he's got his nose in everv bodv's business. This is a nother conundrum, which is all I know about the pig." Turn! pa and Corn. A Westchester County (X. Y.) farmer is in the habit of sowing yel low Aberdeen turnips among bis corn at the last passage of the culti vator, when the plants are about five feet in height. The turnips do not make much growth until the corn is cut, after which they 6vvell rapidly. The cost is nothing except for cost of seed and harvesting, and corn, being already cut, is not injured when the turnip are gathered in. From one to four hundred bushels of turnips per acre have been thus obtained without lessoning the corn crop Weeds are not tolerated, nnd the whole strength of the land is devoted as it should be, to useful crops. Slewed Fowl. Fill the inside of a vounir fowl with oysters; put it in a jar or tin pail, tightly closed, and put it in a kettle of water. 15oil an hour and a half: there will be a quantity of gravy from the fowl and oysters, add to it a little flour made smooth in a 6mall quantity of water, seasoning to taste, and more oysters with their Honor. Serve this" with the fowl, which will be very white ani tender. All the fine flavor lost in ordinary boiling will be preserved. A poor young man remarks that the only advice be gets from capital ists "is to live within his income," whereas the difficulty he experiences is to live without an income. Aeu? Advertisements.

A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthv, and t-fTi.-ctual f.i; preser hair. rVillc til.; Ii so -a restQ'-cs ftol- i or gray hU; to its ori'jirt.,1 color, u-itli t'u: (j-.uss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair clieekedj and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore tha hair whero tho follicles are de stroyed, or the glands atrophied at. i decayed; but such as remain can to saved by this application, and stimu lated into activity, so that a new growth of hair is produced. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi- ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will preveut tin hair from turning gray or falling o.f, and consequently prevent baldness. Tin restoration of vitality it gives t tho scalp arrests and prevents the forma tion of dandruff, which is often so un cleanly and offensive. Free from th-s. deleterious substances which maVi some preparations dangerous and injur rious to the hair, the Vigor cuu only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRE-SSIMf, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it doe not soil white cambric, and yet I.i-ts long on the hair, giving it a rich, glassy lustre, and a grateful perfume. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
