that unknown and wonderful creature
"a young lady.
Perhaps it was an instructive feeling
that members Of this genus are as dam
geroas as they are beautiful, that filled
him with underlined dread of proximity
it might have been that, or might
have been simple rustic bashfulness
but at all events the only desire that he
evinced, with regard to Nellie, was to
keep out Of her way.
Of course the young lady was not
long in discovering this determination
on the youths part, and from that time
she did not want for amusement. Her
merriment was constantly excited, by
observing the hurried retreat Of her
cowardly foe to the friendly covert of
pantry, cellar, or stable, at her ap-
proach and nothing delighted her
mischievous spirit more than by sally
ing forth suddenly twenty times day,
to pu the enemy to ignomirious flight.
Seldom was poor Nathan allowed to
enjoy a meal without having to drop
his knife and fork at least once, dur
ing its course, to take refuge in some
neighborlng hiding place, till the coast
was again clear. Rarely did he escape
from back or side door without being
made aware, by some saucy token, that
a pair Of roguish eyes were watching
him from window or porch. Even
when in the fields, a little, jaunty form
sometimes tripped by with bright eyes
looking defiance, or q fresh, merry
voice was heard singing odd scraps of
knocking songs. In the farm yard he
was no m9vss secure for no sooner did
Nellie's eagle eye detect his form moy.

The New Territory Of Dacotah.

The General Land Office has received
returns OF the progress Of the boundary
survey in Dacotah Territory. The main
lines of the survey constitute basis for the
subdiyisional work in that part OF the sur
veying district of Wisconsin and Iowa
which, upon the organization Of the State
Of Minnesota, was not embraced within

Of twenty -four miles, leave a strip of

between their termination and the 9Th

The white settlers in Dacotah are
alarmed at the increase Of Indian troubles.
The Washington Star says:
"The Brules Sioux recently attacked

ibe settlers that the fugitives, having been
left in a penniless condition, may be
tempted TO commit depredations. DR..

A COOP SToRY.-Au anecdote worth
laughing over, is told of man who had
an "intirmity," as well as an appetite lol
fish. lie was anxious 10 keep up his
character for honesty, even while enjoy
ing his favorle meal; and while making
bill with his merchant, as the story
goes, and when his back was turned, the
honest buyer slipped IA cod fish up under
his coat tail. But the garment was too
short TO cover the theft, and the merchant
perceived it.
"Now," said the customer, anxious to
improve all opportunities to call attention
to his virtues, "Mr. Merchant, l have
traded with you II great deal, and have
paid you up promptly, have nol?"
"Oh, yes, said the merchant II make
no complaint"
"Well," said the customer, 81 always
insist that honesty is the best policy, and
the best rule to live and die by"
"ThaL's So" returned the merchant,
and the customer turned to depart.
"Hold on, my friend" cried the mer-
chant. speaking of honesty, | have bit
of advice to give you. Whenever you
come TO trade again, you had better wear
a longer coat or steal a shorter cod fish"

Silence in Nature.

II is remarkable and very instructive
fact that many of the most important op-
crations of natuIe'are carried on in an un-
broken silence. There is no rushing
sound when the broad tide of sunrise
breaks on a dark world and floods it with
glory, as one bright wave after another
falls from the fountain, millions Of miles
away. There is no creaking Of heavy ak.
les or groaning of cumbrous machinery ,as
the solid earth wheels on its way, and
every planet and system performs lis rev.
olutions. The great trees bring forth
their boughs and shadow the earth be-
meath them-the plants cover themselves
with buds and the buds burst into flowers;
but the whole transaction is unheard.-
The change from snow and winter winds
TO the blossoms and fruits and sunshine
Of summer, is seen in its slow develop.
ment, but there is scarcely sound 10 tell Of
the mighty transformation. The solemn
chant OF the ocean as it raises lis unchang
ed and unceasing voice; the roar Of the
hurricane, and the soft notes Of the breeze
the rushing Of the mountain river and the
thunder of the black browed storm; all
this is the music of nature--a great and
swelling anthem of praise, breaking IN on
the universal calm. There is a lesson for
us here. The mightiest worker in the
universe is the most unobtrusive.

4 Buried Roman City.

Excavations at Wroxoter. in Shropshire
England. have resulted in tho discovery of
tho Old Roman city of Urconium. The
first object exposed was an extensive public
building at the corner OF two of the prnci-
pal streets 1t was first discovered by acci
dent, and as soon as the tenants of the spot
became aware of their prizo, thcy restored
tho earth, and s0wod a crop of turnips ovor
it. A months silent negotiation placed
them in possession of as much extont of
area rs they could obtain, and they then
resumed tho work of excavation. The
court of large public building has been
exposed. 1t is forty feet square. and paved
with brick, hcrrng-bono fashion. Various
entrances to the building. through doors
and down stone stairs, havo been uncovered,
and sido rooms around tho court, some of
which appear as If they had been used for
storage. Traces of charcoal and also of
mineral coal arc found, and quantities of
bones Of animals. and weights made of metal
and stone, marked with Roman numerals.
| Excavations in another direction revealed

large hagstones, and fOrty-fivo feet across
