There was bo rct ljrvi.d Mr. LuHkirk lie tried Betty and Din and Mary and Ann. and then, in despair, tie to a "crtaio Mrs. Brown, the giver of tea-parties innumerable, fur advice. 'Servants nre Fad Tilaues,' she -aid. Eat you out of house and Lome,' said Peter. 'Not to be relied on for honesty,' paid Mrs. Brown. 'Thieves, ma'am thieves' said Pe ter- 'Ah,' faid Mrs. Brown, 'a gentle tuaa baa no time to watch tbe-ni ' Sow I should advise marrving, Mr. Bus kirk.' . 'Marrying' 'Yes, bir; a wife ;aa manage such tbiogs so much better. Besides, it you choose a firuart, capable woman. she will keep an eye on ther servant. It would be much more economical to marry.' 'Economical!' yelled Peter; 'hit good lady! Eco I O, goodness! r eatLx-ra and flowers, laces and silks, and rings and an i ice cream and things economical' llow many jards do yon take for a dres, ma'ma?' 'Well, air, twelve or fifteen some times, when it's silk you know, eigh teen.' ' - 'Eighteen yards, at five shillins or go a yard, and not one dress, but twenty. My good lady, it would be enough to ruin a man.' Mrs. BroWn reflected. vBut if yon could find an economi cal woman, Mr. Bus-kirk.' 'Ah! if I could find a mermaid.' 'One who never wasted a penny.' 'She does n-t exist, ma'rra,' ' 'Who lives on oext to nothing. The fact i?, Mr. Buskirk, I have such a lady in my eve. She's a widow quite ayoungone Mrs. Barlow. and I'll have her at Peach llooee next week ' Peter Buskirk grinned fsareasticai- Iv. . 'Economy in hoops and bonnet, be baid to tnmseii. -mev want to mar ry nie and ppend my money.' " And be weut home wroth. However economy forbade him to refure an invitation to dinner; and when, a week after, Mrs. Brown sent 'ber compliments,' etc., Mr. Buskirk donned his Sunday suit and went nver to Peach House at five precisely. Tbe parlor was full of Iadie9 in silks and muslins, with crinolines and flounces. Most of them Mr. Buskirk knew well, and he looked . about in vain for a stranger. Mrs. Brown's note had said: , 'Mrs. Barlow will bo with us.' But which was that economical widow? Probably the Jndy in green ailk near the piano. He could not remember her face. - '' Suddenly Mr BuskirkV donbta were at rest. Mrs. Brown ejaculated. 'Pear me! where is cousin Betsy? Mr. Buskirk, you must be Introduced to Mrs. Barlow,' and at these words something , email, and fat emerged from between two portly dames, and stood before him. It was a Tfery fehort and slender little voman, with e remarkable pretty face. Sbe wore no Loops, and her dress cleared her ankles..

I was astonished to seo im mense quantities of bows, arrow, stone axes, painted sticks, pottery, pieces of baskets, and now and then a piece of matting. This matting ap peared to be their clothing. All the pottery was of .he ancient kind, frag ments of which can bo picked op near tbe many ruins found through out this Territory. Everything in dicated great antiquity; several bas kets oo being taken outside crumbled to dust. In fact nearly all tbe relics w bich were near the entrance to the cave acted in this manner. All im plements found were made of stone, bone or wood, and ail the arrow heads picked up were made cf bone and very small. There were bows aud arrows aod arrows of all sizes, from five feet in length dowa to a child's bow one foot long. There wer. thousands of painted sticks, similar to those used by tbe pueblos on the Rio Grande, piled up iu count less numbers. Iu any other climate but Arizona, except perhaps South ern California, everything would Lave long since rotted to dust, but owing to our dry atmosphere aud the relics being in a cave perfectly water tight, everything would remain in a good state of preservation for hundreds of years. Crashfil few wCroaa-FIr. Among SDnie graphic details of hospital scenes in 1803, Rachel Rol lins gives in the May Atlantic the fol lowing: The situation of one poor man was most touching. Occasionally during the evening 1 had seen, in the qpper part of the ward, a miaerable arm raised in the air, with a bandage dangling from a wounded hand; the ep.cosioa of agony in that poor band and arm cut me to the heart, and, though half afraid of intruding, I went to the suffering man, for it was impossible to stay away. lie told me that he bad been under a cross fire. On his right arm one ball had entered the front part of his fore-arm about an inch below tha elbow, com ing out at th,e shoulder; another en tered the back part of the forearm about an inch abovo the' wrist-joint, and escaped at the back of tbe band; aud another crushed tbe second joint of the forefinger. Oo his left arm, one ball entered the fore-arm just above the wrist, and was cut out at the elbow. A ball fractured his right tbigh. Another eutered bis righj anklejuiot and came out at the top. of the foot. Tbe bottom of, tbe foot was crushed by a, akell, making in all elevea different wounds Finding that be would like to listen, I obtain ed a candle and read to bint a few verses from the Bible, aod one of Ryte's hymns. The sound of my voice seemed to sootb him for a little while, then ho would raise hia arm again and the bandage on his poor, wouuded hand waved like a signal of distress, ' as it was. He knew he could uot live, and did not like to be left alone; so, while Albert slept, I Very 'gladly 'sat by him, reading aloud when beseemed to enjoy it. Towards morning I went to him 1 for the last time, and when tbe sun arose bis place was vauaut I am not sor ry that I remained in tbe hospital that , sight, for it is a great privilege to be allowed to do even as little aa I was able to do, for one about, to give np bis life for the sacred , cause of free dom. , . .

The land is better tilled, tbe fences iu Letter condition, and all improvements which enhance the value of the property, aod pro mote the happiness of the inhabitants, are vastly superior. Some of these are doubtless due to tbe superior mar kets, aod correspondingly . higher prices for tbe products of the soil, but more to the enterprise and intelligence of tbe owners of the soil. If prices are bigber near tbe city, so is labor. Moreover, those improvements that do most to increase the comfotr and render country life desirable, are not of the most costly character, anu are within the reach of every enter prising fa.-mer. Costly ornaments may be left to those who have the means to lavish on tbem. But every country mansion should be surround ed by shade trees to protect it, or rather its inmates, from the cold blasts of winter, as well as the intense heat of summer.. The maple, pine and hotsecbestnut are within the reach of all, at a trifling expense, and in many cases with no expense save the plant ing, and yet bow many dwellings re main for years without a single tree to shield tbem. Tbe roadways, too, could be lined with trees, with little or 6Q disadvantage to the! adjoining lands, and with great advantage to tbe passer-by, including the owners, and as, in most towns, cattle aod all animals are properly excluded from a vagabond life in the highways, thene shade and ornamental trees may be planted outside of the fences with safety- If the Grangers of this country should take held of this important subject once in earnest, how easily tbey could line tbe highways of the whole country with beautiful orna mental trees, and tax themselves but lightly in time or money. ' Does any one drnbt the desirability of such improvement? . Let such an one drive along a public road where even one farmer has by forethought and a little enterprise, years before such visit, planted such trees, and contrast his impressions with those wakened by a look at bis own barren highways, and then judge. Tbe fact is, such investments cost compara tively little, and never fail to pay largely. No one can. pass such a property without half wishing that be owned it and if he is ready and able to purchase, be is willing to pay well for such improvements. So it is with the more substantial comforts of countrj ltie. They are witbin the reach of all. and cost , comparatively little. All Hhat is needed is fore thought and a little well-timed labor. Of such comforts are tbe small fruits which many farmers never see ' in their own dwellings. Grapevines are as easily cultivated aa corn. Straw berries, raspberries and . blackberries should occupy a few rods on every farm. -. ; :- - Most of the ; drudgery, monotony and deprivation of farm-life, results from stupidity. It is commonly thought by those who live along for years on corn meal and potatoes, that these luxuries are too costly for poor farmers. This is all . nonsense. No class of people in tbe world ca n se cure tbem so easily and so certainly. City people know little of theee luxu ries ia their perfection, as tbey- rarely get them fresh from the fields; and if tbo farmer would only use bis oppor tunnies, ois lamtiy win sewom com plain of their situation. : . -, S.

The wonderful little spider which captured the moose, and is elevating it in its parlor at Mr. Michael Gross' carpenter shop on GreatmeD, between Elysian Fields and Mari;ny streets, of which we gave an account yester day morning, ia still busily engaged in its herculean task, and fifing tho numerous persons who visit it with amazement. This astonishing little insect is of the black species, and very small, a fact that renders tbe feat which it now performs the more marvelous. The mouse was accus-, tomed, when on a predatory excur sion, to emerge from a holo under the bench where the spider dwells, and pass into the carpenter shop, where tbe bench stands. Tbe enterprising spider, which bad no donbt watched for a long time tbe movements, laid a trap for the unsuspecting young mouse, and Monday morning, wben it started out on its daily rounds, tho the little spider, who was on the look out, tightened the thread which she had prepared for her victim, whose hind legs had been entangled in tbem as it passed out of its hole, and soon secured it Immediately after the legs had been caught, the spider fas tened another thread to tbe mouse's tail, and after several hours' constant work succeeded in raising her prey's hind quarters, and continued so do ing until the tip of the mouse's nose only touched the floor. Having thus rendered it helpless, the little f-pider industriously set to work multiplying its fastenings. After a few more hours' labor tho mouse eras raised one inch from the floor, the spider working as if with a pulley. Iu its terrible contortions to release itself, the mouse managed to sever ibe fas tenings around its bind legs, but so strong were tbe threads which sus pended it in the air, and bo securely were they attached to us tail that all efforts to break tbem proved fruitless Mr. Gross, takinff .treat interest in I the proceedings, left tho , spider un- disturbed, and during . almost ti whole of iloodav night, wiuuevtrw friends, Watched its orkiag attcn- jtivcir. he I UK hiest, after taking ber position a her victim's taiLcom- nienced manipulating the thread3 any working.
