DoEsTIcKs thus describes n bashful
young man: "First calls-bell rings
enter bashful young man-evidently his
first attempt at fashionable visit-came
in with his hat in his hand-put it behind
him to mako bow-dropped it-tred
to pick it up-stepped in it-put his foot
through it-and in his frantic struggles
to recover himself, burst his coat, frac-
tured his pantaloons, united his cravat,
demolished his shirt collar, and was final
ly borne TO the hall by his sympathizing
friends, minus his patent mustache-onc-
half of which was afterwards found in
Laura Matilda's scrap book, and tho rest
discovered in q coal scuttle."

DISCOVERY OF CAvE.-A large cavo
has been discovered near tho White Noun
lains, the entrance to which is nine feet
wide, opening into n fine apartment sixty
feet in length, formed of jasper of a deli
cate blue and ash color, striped with fire
red. The discovery was made by two
young men, named Frank Green and Dan
iel Blodgett, who were sliding down the
precipitous cliff of rugged mountain,
two miles from Berlin Falls, and found the
entrance, which was never known to exist
before. A guide, William d. Sanborn,
heard of the wonderful cave, and resolved
to enter it, la Putnam, and therefore
went in and made thorough exploration,
by the use of candles to light his way.

A GOLD MINE IN Omo.-Gold has
been discovered near Carol Dover, in Tus-
carawas county, Ohio. The Dover Iron
Company had been drilling for coal for
some time past, and few days ago the
augur struck a rich vein of gold quartz,
at depth of about 375 feet from the
surface. The quartz seems to bo full Of
gold, and several gentlemen pronounce it
full as rich as the best California quartz.
The excitement at the discovery is SO
great that the company has been compel
ed to enclose the ground with stout
frame, to enable the workmen to 90 on
with drilling. The quartz becomes more
auriferous as the augur descends lower.

WHITE HANDS AND MUDDY
COFFEE.
by MRS. NJ. e. ROBINSON.

Henry Thornton had been a married
man just two months. He was proud of
his wife's glossy ringlets, her brilliant eyes,
pretty mouth, and last of all, her small,
white hands. He never once asked him
self whether these samo hands could iron
a shirt, make bread or mend pair of
socks. Not he; it was enough TO know
that they could make trills on the piano,
work worsted dogs and horses on crickets
and ottomans, and paint something styled
n landscape. She was not literary, either.
Henry Thornton couldn't tolerate that
kind Of absurdity. In his opinion, a woman
had much better bo asleep than putting
her thoughts upon paper. He thanked
fortune, too, that she never took TO read
ing dry disquisitions, tedious essays, or
egotistical criticisms on egotistical books.
Besides, his Helen didn't care about poll
tics, being regular Know Nothing" in
regard to the interesting item of who
stood the best chance of being the next
President. AS to the war in the East,
she could not tell positively whether Sc
vastopol was up or down; or whether it
was in the hands of the Allies or the Rus
SLAMS. Reformatory topics sho never
broached, either Anti-Slavery was a
bore, and forced her to think too much Of
those dirty negroes" Woman's Rights
was masculine, aud terribly out of taste,
while Temperance was only fit for drunk
ards wives to talk about. So il will be
perceived that Helen Thornton was not a
"strong- female; fact upon
which her husband felicitated himself not
a little.
We have said that two months COM

would be gratifying to add that his hap

OREGON M1NEs.-A late Oregon letter

to Portland each week; and the probabil-

that he was initiated at-the time to
which Fuson refers, and that Rubtrl

call the especial attention Of opr
readers: WV
ave are informed that clandes.
tine negotiations have been oponed
between certain Democratic leaders
in this city, and the head traitors at
Redmond, looking 10 a reconstruc.
ton on the following basis:
"The Statss now in rebellion are
to elect members Of the present Con.
|grese, who are to present themselves
ut Washington, and claim seats in
said Congress on or before. the frs,
day Of January next.
"Second.. The House, being 60
filled, will at once have a couioint
conservative and robel majority, who
will proceed to notify the Pres sident
that the rebellion is substa ntially y
ended; that the rebel States are al,
duly represented in the House; tha,
consequently his proclamation oil
freedom is null aud void, and .hey
are fully under the protection of the
Constitution.
Third. Congress thus recon
structed, is to proceed forthwith &c
repeal all acts bearing hard upon
tho traitors Of the last two years, and
to pass such others as may be neces
sary to secure perfect immunity
and imprnity to them.
Fourth. A convention Of th.

rebel strength is enough to be over

changes in the Constitution the

That the above is true, every Wort
Of it--there can be no doubt. Til,
Butternuts in oil the loyal StateI

many localities sacrificing other i'm

is now plain. They wanted enough
of the Vsllandigham stripe in Wash
ington to be.ray the country int
rhe hands OF the Southern Secession
Iists-enough to sell out the Gov
ernment to them. The plot canno
succeed, but the fact that the leader,
OF that faction should have concoct.
ei it, is enough to damn them in the
estimation oi all good men forever.
