We climbed down a mile Of precipices by

roots of trees, shot a wild boar, kindled fire
and roasted his flesh, and had grand time

FINDING A WIFE's TONGUE. Mr.. II. af-
fronted his wife, who, to punish him, resolv-
ed to act dumb when he was present, and so
we'll did she maintain her resolution, that a
week passed away, and not word did she
utter in his presence. She performed her
household duties as usual, but not word
would she speak. He tried to coax her out
of her Whim, but in vain. At last he tried
the following plan to overcome her resolu-
tion, by working on her curiOsity-the most
ungovernable of female prOpensities. Re
turning one evening from his employment,
his lady sat there as usual, mute. He imme
diately commenced a vigorous search around
the ROOM The closet was examined, bed
room, drawers, boxes, shelves everything
that could possibly be thought Of was over
hauled
His wife was struck with astonishment at
his. .nnaccQpptahle- behavior, and SO he pro-
sceeded in his search She became very nef-
vously anxious to find out what he was in
search of What could it be? She looked
in his face. if possible to CLEAN from his ex-
pressions the object Of his search but no go,
he was sober as judge. He lifted the edge
Of the carpet, looked under his table cover,
and finally approached her chair, looked un-
der it, and even going so far as to brush her
dress particularly aside, as if what he sought
might be hid there. She could stand it no
longer. She burst out
Bob, what are you looking for?"
He smiled, and answered.

DIDN' Know Hm-A good anecdote is re-
lated of John Price Wetherell, the merchant
who lately died in Philadelphia, leaving an
estate Of nearly one million dollars. On one
occasion, two city bucks drove out to his
country seat to visit his daughter. Seeing
Mr.. Wetherell at the yard gate, dressed vcr9
shabbily, they mistOok him for a servant. and
ordered him to open the gate. 'Of course .
said he, Q will do that" and .suiting the ac=
ton to the word, be opened the gate, and. the
young dandies drove in, throWiag him quar-
ter passed. He quickly picked up the quar-
ter and pOcketed it, and a short time after
wards appeared in the parlor, and was intro
duced to the young men, by the daughter, as
her father! The reader can imagine how
they felt.

BUDDING ROSES ATION OF
THE ROSE. -

We are pleased to see the interest exhibit
ed by the Santa Clara Register (now San
Jose I'elegrGpD in the cultivation of flow
ers. 1t not only shows the eaNaor to be a
man of refined taste, but it also eVinces in
his readers love for that which will make
a home beautiful, as well as comfortable
The following modus operandi Of rose bud
ding, &C., is from the Register:
Look attentively at any rose branch, and
you will find at the bottom of every leaf, a
small scarcely perceptible swelling or.protu-
berance, looking altogether as lnBoeent of
growth as a cup Of cream. Remebiber, at
the bottom of every leaf Find aRAtIs be bough
which has had its extremity ipjured 4r aGlpa-
tated. Do yol not see with Wiia a.gerness
this little brsd Sc t5t941 rs y oohcea
and repair sAe damage! This ho,4as litde
bud is the epitOme of a rose tree, and though
nursed in the bosom Of the l0rdliest rose that
ever bore a title, if you will detach it gently
and apply it to the freshly peeled surface of
the thOrniest, scraggiest old dog of rose it
will'sOOn repay you for your trouble, by turn
ing "bright leaves to the air, and dedica-
ton Of its beauty to the SUM-"
l think those buds grow best which have
already taken a start on the parent STEM I
have certainly put in La Marques of half an
inch in length, which are now masses Of buds
and foliage.
Take limb Of the current years growth
which has become firm slice off the bud with
a little Of the wood; detach the bark with
the bud on it by little handling; cut off the
leaf, but leave the stem to hold it by; place
it between your lips while you prepare a
place for it.
Select a similar limb on any other bush if
thOrny, knock them off; draw sharp pen
knife dOWnwards, through the 6orf, an inch
or less cross it with another cut. shorter.
but always through the bark Carefully raise
the little corners thus made from the wood ::
hold firmly On each side, and you can raise
with the knife without breaking Or tearing
Now put your little bud under these corners.
and press all together; confne firmly with
soft cotton thread, which may remain until
it produces an evident indentatiOn. Cut off
the branch a few inches above, and keep
down the original buds as they show them
selves
This is the whole matter. The finest rose
will grow without any subsequent care. In
deed,I have inserted many, and forgotten
them until they forced themselves on my at
tention by their elegance and vigor.
ANY bush will do to bud on. Some are
merely preferable, as the "Pride of France .
DAILY" and @ Multifera" l am very par
tial to the last as it is common, affords a
stock from cuttings in few months, is Wig
orous smooth, and easily backed. Well ma
nured, one stock will support great many
varieties of the finest roses
The rose bush requires an annual spading,
and Of course a rich soil. For heavy mica
ceOus loans, nothing is better as manure
than rotten chips, spaded in and spread an
inch or more in depth on the surface

UTAH.

A correspondent furnishes us with the fol-
lowing account of this territory:
Salt Lake City lies due west from the
city Of New York, and contains between sew
en- and eight thousand permanent inhabit-
ants few elegant buildings, some four or
five large stores, Social Hall, Tabernacle,
or place Of worship, $50 feet in length, and
sixty in width, Of the Gothic style. The
building materials consist of adObes, or sun
burnt brick and rock. The timber for Ium-
ber, is pine and fir of good quality and
quantity. The settlements extend so miles
north, and $50 miles south Of the city. There
is sufficient number Of good saw mills
Three Touring mills may be counted within
six miles Of the city, and eight run of stone,
manufacturing flour Of the best quality. The
land is very productive, atfording wheat of
the best quality, and in the fullest quantity.
All the coarser grains flo urish, so too, veget-
ablcs exceed anything that can be produced
within the temperate zones. The climate is
temperate and healthy, not subject to the eX
tremes Of heat and cold Of western New Y ork
The air and water are pure. The mountain
streams and lakes produce an abundance Of
excellent fish. Salt Lake is situated five
miles west from the Tampanagos mountains,
and twenty miles cast Of Great Salt Lake.
The lake is about $50 miles long and 10 wide.
The water is very salt. Three barrels Of it
will, when boiled, produce one barrel Of pure
fine white SALT on the margin a sufficient
quantity of good chrystalized salt can be OBJ
tanned to supply the State Of New York.
The population is increasing in rapid ratio.
1t numbers at present between 40 and so
thousand inhabitants, mostly of the Mormon
faith. Although some have imbibed the idea
that none but Mormons have the privilege Of
settling in the Territory, that is not the case.
The MOrmons claim the right Of wOrshiping
according to their conscience, and the cOnsti-
tuition Of these United States. They invite
all, whether Jew or Gentle, bond or free, to
enjoy the same rights among them.-N z.

FANNY FERN says "If there was but one
woman in the world the men would have
terrible time" Fanny is right; but we
would like to know what kind of time the
aU0naen would have If there was but one man
in existence ?-Erchange.
What kind Of time they would have? =
Why, Of course no grass would grow under
their slippers! The "Wars Of Roses" the
battles Of Waterloo and bunker Hill, would
be farce to it. Black eyes would be the
rage, and both caps and characters would be
torn to tatters. imagine that would not
be much of millennium either to the moving
cause af the disturbance. He would be as

other, and frantically and automatically ex-
claim How happy I could be with either,
were 'tother dear charmer awayH'
What kind Of a time would women have

FIDELITY-Never forsake a friend when
enemies gather thick around him-when sick
ness falls heavy upon him-when the world
is dark and cheerless-this is the time to try
thy friendship. They who turn from the
scene Of distress or offer reasons why they
should be excused from extending their sym
pathy and aid, betray their hypocrisy, and
prove that selfish motives only prompt and
move them. If you have friend who loves
you-who has studied your interest and hap
piness, defended you when prosecuted and
troubled, be sure to sustain him in adversely.
Let him feel that his kindness is appreciated,
and that his friendship was not bestowed up
on you in vain.
