Having seen your preparations extensively

your remedies. As you advertised that it was
composed of buchu, enbebs, and Juniper berries,
It occurred to me and my family Oyu! lan as an
excellent combination, and with hie adv Ice, after
an examination of the article, and consulting
again with the druggist, I concluded to try it.

ALLENTOWN, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 15 1871
rum MARSHES
"So you really are determined not go with
us on the excursion this afternoon V'
" I really am determined, as I have already
remarked ;" and Q UI!) young lady certainly
looked very determined indeed, as she stood
firmly planted on her two little feet by the
window, and drummed emphatically on the
pane.
John Rutledge stood Just behind her, and
looked at her in a half-sad, half-amused con
dition of mind ; looked at her, too, so earn
estly that she presently flushed up to the tips
of her ears, and turned upon him like a tor
mented kitten.
"I wish you would not stand staring at me
so, Mr. Rutledge: It's very unpleasant."
The young man flushed in his turn, for her
tone was unmistakably in carucst,and lie said,
" I will not look at you, Miss Gordon,since it
annoys you—although I had no intention of ,
staring, as you term it ; besides, I know very
well why you will not go with us."
"Do you 1 Well, I'm sure I don't care. I
don't go because I-don't choose to go ; I sup
pose I can do as I like."
" I perceive the real reason for your not go
ing coming up the steps," rejoined Rutledge;
"so I will net trouble you longer. Good
morning, Miss Gordon." And stepping to
the door, he took his brit and passed out, just
as a servant admitted atoll, stylish gentleman,
at whom he certainly stared with any thing
but a friendly glance.
Lillie Gordon had-started forward at hislast
remark, but, seeing from the window its oc
casion, she held her tongue, and awaited tho
entrance of the visitor in a very disturbed
frame of mind.
The gentleman entered the parlor
.unan
nounced, as though he were familiar with the
premises, and accosted Lilly warmly before
taking a scat by her side.
She was so evidently perturbed by some
thing that he remarked upon it ; but obtaining
no satisfaction, he presently said, "I have to
leave town this afternoon on unexpected bus
iness, and shall remain away a couple of days ;
so we will have to postpone our ride."
" Oh, well," replied the young lady, " it is
of no consequence ; I can go on the excursion
which I intended to give up for the ride. I
dare, say I shall enjoy myself quite as well."
This reply was certainly not calculated to
gratify the young miin,and its effect was quite
perceptible. lle shifted his position uneasily.
"I am really very sory, Lillie, but I must go
to Boston by the three o'clock train. Is that
—Rutledge fellow going on the excursion ?''
"Really, George, I don't:keep any account
of the movements of 'that Rutledge fellow,' as
you elegantly term him ; and I can not see
what 114 going or not going can have to do
with you—or mc."
" Well excuse me. I ant always so annoyed
when I tneet.him here that I can hardly re
strain myself. Let us drop him. Now about
that ride : this is Wednesday, and I shall be
back by Friday. Suppose we take it then ?"
Lillie laughed—a pretty, coquettish laugh
enough—and rising, said, " Wait till Friday
comes I I never could make up my mind half
so far ahead ; and, besides, your Important
business might detain you in Boston, you
lino w. I would not like you to break two
engagements with me the same week."
" You arc too hard with me, Lillie ; but I
see you arc not In a pleasant mood this morn
ing, so I must submit."
No woman likes to be told she is not in a
pleasant mood, and Lillie showed her. entire j
disapproval of the remark by rising, making a
very sweeping and certainly graceful bow,
and saving, " Good morning, Mr. HartieV.
A pleasant journey to you, and a pleasant
mood to me when you return:" And then
she disappeared through the door, end ran
singing up stairs.
Mr. Hartley sat for a moment looking de
cidedly azgrieved ; and then, with a mutter of
something which he never learned in the cat
echism, possessed himself of his hat and cane,
and departed.
Lillie Gordon had not been spoiled, but she
had been permitted by her parents to remain
just sufficiently under the control of her animal
spirits and her little willful ways to keep her
out of the influence of any other control what-
CIMEI
She was nlw eighteen ; and having followed
her own guidance in the matter of her love-af
fairs as she alwayshad in most others, she had
engaged herselfto Mr. George Hartley, and in
formed her father of the fact, to that worthy
gentleman's great dissatisfaction. Not that
there was any thing against the person in
question, wl I was well known in society, end
who was currently reputed to be possessed of
independent means, arising from a large In
heritance wtll invested. But Mr. Gordon
was a businessman, a merchant in high stand
ing, and he did not relish the idea of giving
his only daughter to an idler—one who, con
fessedly, was engaged in no pursuit whatso
ever, other than the lavish expenditure of his
large income. Mrs. Gordon was a nonentity,
except in the fashionable world ; and after
dropping a few tears ovir her Cam,liter's will
ingness to leave the family roof, she subsided
into a gentle commiseration of herself as a
much aggrieved personage, and relieved her
mind by loudly boasting the many virtues
of appearance and ptree of her daughter's
choice.
John Rutledge occupied the rather disagree
able position of a lover who had never dared
to acknowledge himself, yet could not tear
himself away from the object of his regards,
though ho was forced to consider her as the
property of another. As he bad never spoken,
Lillie tolerated him—especially as the rising
young artist, whose name was on everybody's
tongue in society, was not by any means a
disagreeable companion at art-receptions and
In the studios. The engagement was, after
all, a matter of very late date and as Mr.
Hartley was obliged to be away from town
a portion of every week on important business
connected with his investments in New Eng
land, and as John Rutledge was an old ac
quaintance, and "everybody's friend," there
had been as yet none of the scandal customary
in such cases on account of his frequent visits
to the house, or his appearance with Miss Lib
13=3
lc In public
At precisely three o'clock in the afternoon
of the day whose events we are chronicling
the Boston exgress train left the depot and
proceeded duly on its journey , but if any
friend of Mr. George Hartley had been seek
ing him among its passengers, he would have
sought in vain, for we have It on the best of
evidence that ho failed to put in, an appear
ance at that time and place.
At the same hour the bright and dashing
little yacht Fairy set sail from one of the up
town piers on the orth River, and, with a
fair Wind, glided beautifully out toward the
bay.
On the quarter-deck of the yacht were
grouped in picturesque and mutually agree
able attitudes about twenty young ladies and
gentlemen, while in the bows a charming
band made the air melodious ; and amidships
a heterogenous gathering .of wine, hampers
of provisions, and boxes of cigars promised
oven more than " feast of reason and a flow of
soul ;" and seated on an afghan, and leaning
over the side of the yacht in friendliest com
munion, were Mr. John Rutledge and that .
wickebest of young coquettes—Miss Lillie
Gordon.
It is not the design of the present writer to
condone Miss Lillie's fault In thus comforting
herself during the absence of her lover from
her side ; but we may, privately state that
that young lady had been seriously displeased
at the coolness of Mr. Hartley's nuinner in
the matter of breaking engagements on sev
eral occaskns, and had chosen this method
designedly with the hope of bringing him to
book, and indicating to him a path for Ills fu
ture pursuit more congenial to her own feel
ings. Add to this the fact, known to this
writer, that Mr. John Rutledge had by his
good conduct, taken n position in Miss Llthe's
esteem of no trifling importance, although she
herself was hardly aware of it, and there arc
but few of our young lady readers who will
not be able to find excuse for her—particular
ly when they have read the remainder of this
story.
The day was full of the beauty of early au
tumn. The clear blue sky framed in the
fleecy cloud-pictures; the soft and tender
sunlight gleamed silvery and bright upon the
pure white sails ; the great city, with its hun
dred steeples, faded away in the distance ;
Staten Island and its pleasant homesteads de
lighted the eye ; and so down the " Kills" the
Fairy floated swiftly and gracefully toward
the spot which was to be the scene of their
afternoon merrymaking.
A couple of hours' sail brought the yacht in
front of a dense grove of old forest trees ; and
there, hauling into the bank, the ancluir was
thrown over; the sails came clattering down
on the deck, and the party disembarked, full
of glee, and making the ancient grove re
sound with laughter and with song. Seated
under the brave trees, while the fresh west
ern wind trembled musically among the
branches, and the many-hued leaves, came
fluttering down into their laps, they discussed
wine and viands,drank toasts and sang songs,
and were as merry and happy as could be
reasonably expected. John Rutledge gave
himself up with dear delight to the generous
pleasure of the passing moments ; and if at
times the black vision of their fleetingness
Caine to disturb him, he put it aside, and
dwelt only on the blissful present, consider
ing not that this must doubtless be the last
occasion wheh he could thus tranquilly enjoy
to its fullness the charm that the graceful girl
so subtly threw about him.
A loud whistle, apparently proceeding front
a locomotive, at length startled the air, and
caused one of the young ladies to ask what it
was. The answer was simple enough—that
it was the engine on a railroad only a mile
back of the grove.
" And does that road go to the city'" asked
the inquisitive young lady aforesaid.
"It goes to Jersey City," was the reply.
And COIIVerSIO.IOII and song and laughter
went on, none dreaming or how much im
portance to two of tho party were those simple
questions and answers.
After a while the party separated into
couples as 13 the custom for such occasions
made and provided ; and John and Lillie, like
the rest, strolled away by themselves.
Now whether it was .Lillie's remarkable
good spirits, or the juice of the grape that
completely destroyed Mr. Rutledge's self-pos
session, it is difficult to say ; but certain it is
that that young man took advantage of the
occasion, and the comparative seclusion
afforded them in their stroll, to make, in the
most unmistairab!e and unwarrantable man.
ncr, a deciaration of love to his fair compan
ion ; and as if his passion, which had been so
long bottled up, rejoiced at its escape from
bondage, he poured foyth the wildest rhap :
sodies on his love for her, completely ignor
ing the existence nail prior claims of the absent
one—a course of conduct which could not fail
to impress unfavorably the well-regulated
mind of the one to whom his words were ad
dressed. •
At first, unable to stem the torrent of his
passionate language, Lillie stood silent and
amazed, or apparently so ; but at length, when
he paused to take breath, and for •a moment
gave her an opportunity, she did not hesitate
in her reception of this unexpected onslaught.
Stamping her pretty foot upon the dead haves
beneath her, she said, passionately :
" Mr. Rutledge, I tun ashamed of you. To
take advantage of my kindness to you, when
you know that lam engaged to another ! I
would not have believed it or you. Now,
Sir, you can go back to the party, and say I
am going home by the train. I'll. not speak
to you again—never."
And so saying, she turned from his side,
and hurried off in the direction whence she
hail heard the sound of the whistle. Rutledge
ran - niter her a few steps, called to her, beg
ging her to forgive hint, and then, as she
continued rapidly on her course, returned to
the yacht, intending to tell their friends that
Miss Gordon had concluded to return by the
train, and that he should accompany her. And
with that design we will leave him for the
present.
Lillie hurried on precipitately, little heeding
the nature of the course she was following, or
the mapy obstacles of root, rock, and dead
limb that obstructed her way, so fully wits
her mind absorbed with the occurrence of the
preceding moments.
While her face burned, and a variety of
sensations, occasioned by the mad advances
of poor John Rutledge, troubled her mind,
she thought little of her surroundings, and
won only recalled to herself—to lose herself
more completely at the saute time—by slid.
den ly tripping over a tangled root, and being
plunged headforemost into a gully worn by
I some little brook, now dried up and sunk
Into the earth.
The hole, or pit, wits not deep, but Lillie
hail lost consciousness ; and when John Rut
ledge passed within a few yards of the spot
ten minutes later,•on his way to the cars, he
little imagined that the one lie sought lay
bruised and senseless within reach of the sound
of his footsteps.
Hurrying over to the railroad station, he
diseovered that a train had just Felt, while
another'would not go out until late in the
evening. Ile pushed his inquiries, involving
n description of 31iss Lillie, in every direc
tion ; but it was not for same time that he
finally learned that no young lady had taken
passage off the train on that occasion.
When he hail satisfied himself of this fact,
beyond a question, he became really troubled
as to Lillie's whereabouts. It was. just pos
sible that she might have. stopped at souse
farm-house, and accordingly he spent consid
erable more time searching. ant inquiring
among these, but with no result—she had not
been seen. Then he because really alarmed,
for the land about was marshy, and extended
to a great distance In all directions, and he
feared she might have lost herself. How his
search resulted will be.told in the sequel.
1 The yacht sailed without them, every one
eotn;aenting on the extraordinary freak of
Miss Lillie Gordon, and wondering what Mr.
1 GeorgeMartley would think o f the matter
when he should hear of it, which they were
sure he Mould, though one and all of them as
serted they would be the last ever to communl
cate such ,a disgraceful and improper proceed.
"for the sake of her pair mother, you
knosN."
And 59 the yacht sped on its homeward
way ; the sun sank slowly down ; the bide
sky turned gr4ty, and then black, and became
studded with stars, as is its -wont; the moon
rose up in richest fullness ; and this last,
shining fairly in the face of -the silent figure
lying out there alone in the Jersey marshes,
at length, with its own peculiar influence,
brought her again to life.
Slowlv she ruised herself to her feet, wilinbef
and aching, and, passing her hand through
her hair, naked herself the old question—where
she was. After n little hericattered senses
came to her, and she remembered.
BM she liod now no idea of Cie direction
of the railroad ; her limbs were bruised. and
torn, Ilea her impulse wits vory strong to sit
down neain and erv. But she was a plucky
girl, and coneirdo I to slake an i-ffort to gain
the depot, which she , upifilseil to be not far
away ; and, are 'r tingly, set forward on her
lonely journey, pick;n4 her steps carefully
by the moonlight.
Thus she had 'sallied some distance—how
far she hail no idea—when RIT saw', a long
way off, n dint and flickering light, and
toward this she hastened wi th what speed her
tired limbs would permit.
It seemed a very long way indeed ; but at
length she drew nearer to the light—near
enough to see that it proceeded from a small
house, and situated very near the water, on
which she could see the moonbeams glistening
119 it seemed to her, cold and mockingly.
Presently she heard sounds as of hammer
ing, apparently issuing from the house; and
at length she reached it, and could look into
the window whence proceeded the light—a
small oil lamp on a table in a room otherwise
devoid of furniture, and unoccupied by any
living thing.
Still she heard the same regular hammer
ing ; and now a strange 'tread come over her.
Unformed and mysterious imaginings dis
turbed her mind, and she was on the point of
fleeing from the place, when a door in the
room opened, and a man entered from another
Mart of the house. Ilia back was toward her,
but she felt n thrill, for the figure seemed
familiar ; he carried something heavy with the
assistance of another who followed him. It
was a small chest, which they placed upon
the floor; and then they opened a trapdoor,
and then—Lillie screamed, shrieked at the
highfst pitch of her voice, for the one who
had first entered the room bad turned his face
toward her, and she saw that it was George
Hartley.
The scream was hardly uttered when a
coarse, heavy hand was over her mouth, and
she felt herself rudely grasped by strong arms,
while a harsh voice muttered, "If you speak
or move again I'll cut your heart out." Then
the speaker sounded a whistle which he held
in his hand, and which was evidently a signal
for the two men inside the house pushed the
box hastily down the trap, which they closed.
But now a loud shout"was heard near by ;
several lights appeared, and in a moment
tu.re Lillie's captor was dashed to the ground
by a strong arm, and she found herself held
tight in—well yes—the embrace of—John
Rutledge.
Men rushed rapidly—half a dozen at least
-into the house ; there was crashing of glass;
oaths, screams, and n general melee ; and of
all of it Lillie could make nothing, except that
she had been saved from some dire disaster—
and by John Rutledge, the man who had so
grossly insulted her by his impertinent allu
sions to her lower, who—could it be possible?
—she-now saw dragged from the house, strug
gling and cursing, handcuffed, clothes torn,
and in a generally dilapidated condition.
Five minutes after she was seated in a wa
gon, with John's arm supporting her, as they
jolted over the rough road, and then she
could stand it no. longer.
" Oh„Tohn ! what does it all mean ?"
She had never called him John before ; but
suppressing en exclamation of, delight. and
the wild impulse to turn a somersault over the
horse's head, he said, quietly
"It ineans,Lillie, that Mr. George Hartley
is the leador of a gang of counterfeiters; that
you happened somehow—God knows how—to
straggle upon his den ; that the man on watch
outside saw and seized you ; that you scream
ed ; that I who was looking for you, and the
officers, who were looking for him, came up
in the nick of time to save you from—what I
nate not think of."
And here poor John broke down ; and IL is
on record that this outrageous little flirt of a
Lillie Gordon said, thereupon, " Don't cry,
John," and that site even put up het:handker
chief to see that he obeyed her orders then
and there.
Great joy was there to the house of Gordon
that night, when, at about midnight, Mr. Rut
ledge maile his appearance with the lost one.
Great surprise was there in society next day
when Mr. George Rartley was duly arraigned
in the proper court for counterfelting—not
greenbacks, good people, but-the sterling old
gold and silver of this republic, in use in those
happy days when we were children.
Great fluttering was there not many weeks
after, u hen Mr. anti Mrs. John Rutledge (the
latter nee Lillie Gordon) made their first sp.
Pearance in society ; what time Mr. George
Hartley was diligently pursuing the mysteries
of stone-breaking at his new villa on tho Hud-
And those three persons wal never forget,
so long ns they live, the eventful night they
spent an " the marshes."

What's thoneweet grief i•
Each minute teems a new one.—Steak.
There are many bitter vexations that harass
business men,' which arc of no more profit to
'them than possibly to try . the amount of pa
tience and forbearance they arc blessed with.
Many writers have given vent to all sorts
of feelings against bores ; indeed, the subject
has become so exhimsted that "'bores" have
almost become classified. Yet there le one class
of bores that pester so universally that it is a
wonder they escaped the notice of these
writers. If there la any one, male or other
wise, who has any audacity, or who contemns
the restraints of business or privacy, it is the
Hoe -)11 Agent.
My attention has been fixed on this hull.
vidual, on account of the number of these par
ties who are continually bothering somebody,
and are, I claim, no source of benefit to them
whatever.
The works that are generally sold by sub
scription are of an inferior sort, and as is the
case in most instances most of the profit is to
the seller. Among the most prominent books
that arc placed in the bands of agents, is the
Bible. 1 have seen editions sold for the enor
mous price of fifty dollars, whose real value
was but three and four dollars. The printing,
paper and binding, is of the lowest order. A
flashy covering, abounding in gilt illumine
tioris seem to draw the eye, and the book of
hooks is very often bought on account of Its
exterior appearance, as a mere parlor orna—
ment.
Should a great man suddenly die, like
Charles Dickens, some one picks up scrapi
of incidents and facts of the person, clips from
the pages of his works and in this way, one
month after death, his whole life is pretended
to be laid before the public. •
There aro good works sold by agents, I do
not doubt it for a moment, nor the character
and well meaning , of some agents, but the fact
is, those with whom 1 have come in contact,
have been so bold and impertinent that I have
a sort of horror for all of them. Nor am I
alone in this opinion. But a day ago aprom
inent lawyer Was standing under an umbrella
in the rain for fully a half hour, and when
asked the reason of it, replied, "there is a
confound book agent in my office."
I was sitting in the office of Doctor K. one
day, when is Indy, very prerumeßslng in her
appearance and exceedingly chaste in her be
havior, entered the. room. We, of course
dropped our pipes, and the door was opened
to allow the smoke to make a rapid exit. The
doctor saluted her with a very polite " How
do you do ?" (possibly more polite than
usual) ; the lady simply bowed low. The
doctar slw a patient and as a matter of course
I withdrew to a private room. In a very
modest manner she informed the doctor of the
object of her interview, saying " I am the
agent for a monthly newspaper (naming it)."
The doctor said he thought not at present.
She then exhibited a weekly paper and soli
cited his name. All the time she was smiling
very bewitchingly. The doctor afterwards
said, when she began to look so handsome he
almost consented. Finding him not wishing
any newspapers, she said she was the agent
also for an excellent pen, and only twenty-flue
cents a box. The doctor could not withstand
this, and paid for the box and was hum.
bugged.
Fora lady to.undcrtake such work, it does
seem rather unbecoming, and as though they
were entitled to favor just because they are wo
men. It is true that It takes a bold man Wally
no to a fair creature, yet having tried it once,
he will find that their beautiful features will
be horribly contracted, and that after all ho
had refused something a good deal lower than
an angel.
Quite an amusing incident occurred in a,
Lawyer's office—not many miles from this
place. Lawyer has an irascible temper,
and when provoked to wrath easily portrays
It by the redness of his face. `l'Le is a very
busy man and oftentimes so fastened to his
duties that he must be spoken - to twice be
fore one can gain an audience with him. Not
long ago a very elderly gentleman quietly en
tered the office, and as dignified as the Presi
dent of a bank or of a railroad corporation,
spoke to —, saying, " are you Mr.— V
"Yes, sir," promptly answered the lawyer,
"take a chair." "Mr. B— at Easton,"
proceeded iheelderly gentleman, "gave me
your name." Yes,oli, yes, I know him well,"
said the lawyer. • "So, I thought I would
call,to see you." "Well, sir, that was right !"
said the lawyer, interrupting him. " And
see," continued the elderly gentleman, "if
you would not subscribe to this work," pro
ducing a book. "No, sir," thundered the
lawyer, and immediately resumed his work.
After the elderly gentleman had departed,
some other words were spoken, which I ivill
nut record.
If I ever saw disappointment and defeat de- ,
pitted upon the countenance of any one, it
was on the face of Dr. E. the dentist. Poor
Doctor is always complaining of the slack
ness of business and the dullness of the times.
I have not had a job for three whole days, ho
remarked to me. Be patient and wait, I re
plied. "Oh, be patient and be hanged," ho
did not have time to finish before the face of
a lady was seen through the glass of the office
door. how happy he was, in that moment
when she said "Thank you," (as he offered
her a chair,) and displayed a row of teeth,
whose posture resembled the tomb stones in a
neglected cemetery. He fancied, here was a
customer for a full upper and lower set, but,
alas, she was only an agent and desired to ex
tract money frotn him for a book when his
gas bill is overdue and the live per cent.already
added. Although generally very good natured
he was so chagrined that lie could not refrain
from saying " no, madam, I have more books
than a dog can eat."
It must be acknowleged that it is a hard
matter to instruct a book agent in the manner
he should approach, people when they arc
busy. To buyers it would be preferable, if
they waited until they were called upon.
Then, probably they ,would find buyers
plenty, that is such as really wanted to buy.
THE COAL TRADE OF 1870
The whole product of Anthracite Coal sent
to market In 1870 was 14,840,782 tons, against
13,221,386 in 1860, giving an increase of
1,625,380 tons in 1870. The product of Semi.
Anthracite in 1870 was 521,065 tons, against
430,301 in 1809, giving an increase of 91,304
tons, making the increase of both kinds in
1870, 1,716,000, tons.
. _
The supply of Bituminous, including For
eign importations, moved towards the sea—
board in 1870, was 4,589,148 tons against
4,656,509 tons. This shows a decrease of 67,-
421 tons, making the total Stipply of coal sent
towards the seaboard market, out of the im
mediate vicinity of the collieries, 19,957,585
tons, making the increase of all kinds in 1870,
1,049,269.
We have no data to give the probable con
sumption of Bituminous coal in the different
regions; but in all the Anthracite Regions it
will amount to not less than one ton in four
sent to market. This would give a local con
sumption of Anthracite and Semi-Anthracite
in the counties of Schuylkill, Carbon, Luzerne,
Northumberland, Columbia, and Dauphin, of ,
3,842,870 tons. Add this to the supply of ,
Anthracite and Semi-Anthracite sent to mar
ket,
and it would run the whole production 1
of coal in these counties in 1870 to 19,211,313
tons, which would give an increase in the
, quantity mined in 1870 of 3,493,010 tons, sent
to market and consumed in the coal regions ;
but from more correct data we arc satisfied
that the home consumption was underrated
last year. On the same data that we give
the consumption this year of one ton consumed
at home for every 4 tons sent to market, it
would give 8,412,444 tons, ir stead of 2,500,-
000 consumed last year; this would give an
Increase mined In 1870 of 2,580,556 tons of
Anthracite.
The consumption of coal in the engines at
the Collieries is immense. Out of 930,100
tons home consumption in Schuylkill county,
not less than a half million tons were con
sumed In the engines used for mining and
preparing the coal for market.
We therefore sum up the trade as follows ;

If thou doet hid they friend farewell,
But for one night though that farewell may be,
Press thou hie palm with thine. How can't thou
tell
now far from thee
Fate or caprice may lead his feet
Ere that Co.morrow comes? Men have been
known
To lightly turn the corner of a street,
To months, and months to lagging years,
Before they looked In loving eyes again.
Parting at best Is underlaid with tears—
With teals and pain.
There fore,lost sudden death should come between,
Or time or distance, clasp with tree
Tho hand of him who goeth forth ; unseen,
Fato goeth too I
Yea, find thou always time to say
Sumo earnest word between the idle talk ;
Lest with thee henceforth, ever, night and day,
Regret should walk.
TILE FIRST SETTLER OF THE Yo-Sammt.--
Mr. Hatching, of the Yo-Semite Valley, is at
Washington making another effort to obtain
legislation to enable him to keep possession
of the homestead of which the State of Cal
ifornia claims the right to deprive him. Mr.
Hutchings was the first white settler in the
Yo-Semite. He made a bridle path down the
precipice into the valley, built a house, trans
ported furniture and provisions fifty miles on
the backs of mules, opened a rude but com
fortable hotel, and by his
.writings in the
magazines and newspapers made the grandeur
and beauty of the valley knOwn to the world.
The land was unsurveyed, and Mr. Hutchings
could tint, therefore, secure a title to a home
stead of 100 acres under the law, and before
a survey was made the United States presented
the Yo-Semite to the State of California, dis
regarding the rights of Mr. Hutchings, and
an other settler, who subsequently settled in
the valley. The State has appointed Com
missioners to manage the valley, and they
have informed Mr. Hutchings that he has no
rights there, and no claim by which he can
bold his farm, gardens, hotel, dwelling, and
other improvements, on which he has bestow.
ed seven years' labor. He came to Congreu
for relief last session, and the Public Lands
Committee reported a bill giving him *patent
to his homestead, but it was defeated, because
some one suggested that he might establish
a beer garden in the Valley. Mr. Hutchings
is a man of culture, refinement, and literary
accomplishment, who would be less likely to
peddle beer than many who ridiculed his
claim ; and who appreciates the wonders of
Yo-Semito far more than three-fourths of the
tourists whom he entertains.
IT is RELATED of an estimable and pious
lady; whose exertions In every work of chari
ty and benevolence had endeared her to the
community, that on her way to Sunday school
one morning she saw several boys seated in a
doorway playing cards, one of whom was a
Sunday school scholar. She stopped and In
sisted that they should accompany her to
church. After some persuasion the three
oldest consented, but the youngest, a lad of
some six years of age, persistendly refused.
"Why won't you come my boy ?" Bald
the lady. "It Is very wrong for you to
refuse."
"But I dont want to go."
" What is the.reason ?"
The impatience of the little fallow waxed
desperate, and in an Indignant voice be ex•
claimed :
" Would you go to Sunday school with a
handful of trumps like that?"
SCENE at a meeting at Preston, England:
Take thy hat off," said one fellow In the
crowd to another in front of him.
"What for ?"
" Why, aw cannot see."
" Well," replied the other, "It aw takes my
hat off thou'll he worse 'off than ever. My
My pure (hair) is thirteen inches long, an' it
stone straight up. I put my hat on It to keep
it down."
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN YEARS OLD.
—The Decorah, lowa, Republican tells of the
death there on the 7th inst. of Mrs. Poll Mc•
Inytre, who was born in Brunswick, New
Jersey, September 8, 1750. She always en
joyed good health until she was ninetyllve
years old, when she bad an attack of brain
fever. In her hundredth year she removed
to lowa. the was twice married, the last
time when she was seventy-five years old to
the husband who survives her. Her appetite
for food, always above medium, was unim
paired to the last. She so far retained her
sight as to be able to read fine print without
the aid of glasses, and her healing was as
good as the average of persons at seventy-llve.
During the past summer she made daily ram
bles through the fields and groves of the farm
on which she lived, and was able at the time
of the accident to walk a mile. She was In
vited out Christmas at a neighbor's whereshe
was unusually jovial, entertaining the COM
pany with story and song. The next day she
was quite insane, in which slate she remained
until the Thursday following, when upon
being left alone ten or fifteen minutes, her
clothes ignited front the stove, burning her
so badly as to cause her death after eight days
of suffering. It is believed, that she inhaled
the flame.
A Prawn MACHINE AT BAN FRANCISCO.
The newly invented "flying machine" was put
into operation the other day, with considera
ble success. When everything was tightened
and got In good running order, and the pro-
peller arranged to cause elevation, it was just
124 o'clock. The fire for raising steam was
then kindled, and in one minds and a quarter
steam was opened. At 12.47 P. M. the ma-
chine was cut loose, and the propellers started.
She then rose most gracefully in the air, amid
the cheers of the crowd who had gathered to
witness the ascension. The machine was
guided by cords attached to both ends of the
balloon, and in the hands of persons on the
ground. She ascended about fifty feet and
sailed along about a block, when she was pulled
down to have her bolter replenished. Again
she arose, this time to a height of 200 feet. All
the machinery connected with It worked to
the perfect satisfaction of the inventor, who
intends to place it on public exhibition at some
place, of which notice will be given. The
name given her is " America."

MItEl. JESSIE FEEMONT.—A Washington
correspondent of the Philadelphia Press in
sketching a reception given by Mrs. Grant
thus notices Mrs. Jessie Fremont : " One of
the most distinguished women who paid her
respects to Mrs. Grant, and honored the large
assembly, was Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont,
the better part of the great " Pathfinder," of
Pacific Railroad fame. General Fremont may
have found a great many wonders in his. ter
rific explorations, but the best thing he ever
did find is "Jessie," and If he is ever crowned
with Immortal bays. It will bebecause In their
youth they ran away. Although Mrs. Fre
mont is below the average height of her
country women, she has a royal presence and
a queenly face. Neither paint powder, nor
any other artifice of the age conceals or en.
Minces the mischief flinches wrought with her
features, and her bead Is crowned with lan
alaindence of snowy hair, but her countenance
is lighted up by a pair of brilliant oyes, and
dimples that tripped the " Pathfinder" still
remain."
