Ek5 How often is it that in our youth
 full and undergraduates of disposition do we misinterpret the meaning of friend- ship? Yes, too often do we indeed, mis- take pecuniary interest and selfshness as friendship "indeed.' The young and unthoughtful man in his first starting out in life dreams, or thinks, of nothing but the unfolded mysteries of the future, and its ever - as they may think - intending field of pleasure and happiness. They anticipate nothing but that which they think will but realize their most earnest and unwavering desires. All is bright
 and joyous to them in the dismal future; but alas! in the midst of their most earnest ex- pectations their hopes, and their long an- ticipated pleasures of this world are blas- ted. Youths often in their boyish and undergraduates of mind, have been led astray. by those whom they had every reason to believe were friends, and who, were really, only seeking to entrap and
 disgrace them. Many young men, who would have been an honor and pride to their aged parents and an ornament to society, have been thus led astray by those ungenerous beings, misnamed friends.
 "A friend in need, is friend indeed, but those beings msnamed, friends, should be avoided, if possible, by the youths of
 the present day,if they do not wish to bring disgrace upon themselves and their pa- rents.

WHAT WOMAN CAN Do.--Some crus- " old bachelor, we venture to say, has perpetrated the following specimen of masculine impertinence. Only hear him, poor fellow:
 "A woman says what she pleases to you without danger of getting knocked down for it. She can take sDooze after dinner, while her husband has to go to work. She can go forth in the streets without being invited to treat at every coi- fee-house. She can paint her face if it is too pale, and flour it if too red. She can wear corsets if too thick--other fixins if too thin. She can eat, drink and be mer- ", without costing her cent; and she can get divorced from her husband when she sees one she likes better"

re7g@ We were pleased to meet with WARREN BAER, Esq, who came passen- ger by the Overland Stage from Tucson, MT. B., has spent several days here, and left on the steamer Return on Wednesday, fer Memphis. We present the following from his pen as an inkling of the various scenes on the route:
 IA BEAUTIFUL ScENE-DEATH OF WOLF ON THE PLAINs.-Durng the late snow storm on the Plains through which the Overland stage route passes, the stage with passengers for the East passed over the rolling prairie, about twenty-five miles from Fort Chadbourne. The sun rose from his frozen bed with more than usual notwithstanding his brilliant beams across an almost illimitable field of sleet. The Musqute bushes were encased in ice of half inch thickness, while every blade of grass was vanished with the dazzling frost. On this frozen field of ice the deer stood hud- dled together in shivering groups, while the wolves ran bowling on the frosty earth in search of warmth and shelter One very large rod wolf approached the stage, and squattine near the road, gave utterance to the most mournful bowls, and commenced licking his stiffened chops, while gazing at the passengers Three revolvers were instantly brought tc bear upon this stranger on the road, when he fell wounded at the first fire, biting and snap ping at the side on which the ball had en- tered. The passengers then dismounted and fired two shots at his skull, but the balls glanced from his cranium, and he was only despatched by the knife. He was dragged with great diff Aculty from the road by two of the passengers and they represent his weight at over one hun dred and fifty pounds. He died, snapping al his slayers till the last gasp. The stage hae scarcely started on its journey before the icy plain was alive with the bowling wolve! Fastening to feast upon their unfortunate Companion.
