A Moment of Horror.

From twerty-three years old Jake Willard had
cultivated the soil in Baldwin county, and draw
ing therefrom support for himself and wife,
Not long ago, Jake left the house in search of a
missing cow. His route led him through an old
worn out patch of clay land, of about six acres in
extent, in the center of which was well, twenty
five or thirty feet deep, that at some time proba-
bly, had furnished the inmates of dilapidated
house near by with water In passing by this
spot, an ill wind drifed Jake's hat from his head
and malicously waited it to the edge of the wall,
and in it tumbled.
Now Jake had always praciiced the virtue Of
economy, and be Immediately set about recover
ing the lost hat. He ran to the well, and finding
it was dry at the bottora, ne uncoiled the rope
which he had brought for the purpose of captur-
ing the truant COW, and after several attempts to
catch the hat with moose, he concluded to save
time by going down into the well himself To
accomplish this, he made fast one end of the rope
to a stump hard by, and was soon on his way
down the well.
1t is fact, of which Jake was no less oblivous
than the reader hereof, that Ned Wells was in
the dilapidated building aforesaid, and that an
old blind horse with bell on his neck, who had
been turned out to die, was lazy grazing within
a short distance of the well.
The devil himself, or some other wicked spirit,
put it into Ned's Uranium to have little fun so
he quietly slipped up to the horse, unbuckled the
strap, ard approached with slow and measured
/" ting-a-ling," to the edge of the well.
"Dang the old blind horse !" said Jake-"hes S
comm this way sure, and amt got no more
sense nor to fall in here. Whoa, Ball"
But the continued approach of the tng-a-ling
said just as plainly as words that Ball wouldn't
whoa. Besides, Jake was at the bottom, resting
before trying to shin it up the rope.
Great Jerusalem !" said he, "the old cuss will
be atop o. me fore l can say Jack Robinson
Whoa, dang you, whoa!"
Just then Ned drew up to the edge of the well,
and kicked little dirt into it.
"Oh !" exclaimed Jake, falling on his knees at
the bottom of the well "I'm gone now Whoa !
Now lay me down to sleep-Whoal Ball
pray the Lord my soul to-Whoa now-O Lord,
have mercy on mel"
Ned could hold no longer and fearful that Jake
might suffer from his fright he revealed himself
Possibly Ned didn't make tracks with his heels
from the well. Maybe Jake wasn't up to the top
Of itin short order. l don't know. But do
know that if Jake finds out who sent this it will
be the last squib you'll get from me-

A High Old Idea of Rich Mines.

The steamer Emile, belonging to the Ameri-
can Fur Company, was recently advertised to
leave St. Louis for the Upper Missouri The
owners of the steamer held out strong induce
ments to emigrantS, bound to the Carboo dig
gings, to take this route, as there is good road
from Fort Benton, only $50 miles long, to the
most desirable part CT the Territory. In connec-
ton with this trip, company was organized in
St. Louis to send out several parties to the Car
iboo mines A we'll known hotel keeper is pres
ident of the company; and judging by what he
in regard to the success of the project. The wli-
ter asked him if the party carried the machinery
along to work in TIE new mines. "Oh, no, was
the reply. "No machinery necessary there
Just shovel the dirt into pans and wash it." This
speech was accompanied with a scooping move
ment of the hands, which would seem very COM
ical to Californian who has heard of Gold Bluff,
Kern river, Fraser river, and other famous local
ities where gold was to be scooped up in buckets
The printed constitution of the company declares
it to be the object of the company to explore and
discover minerals, locate and pre-empt lands, etc.
The adventurous stockholders will have happy
time pre-empting mineral lands in the Cariboo
region, or in any region of Washington Territory
The best of the joke is that this company pro-
fesses to have some secret information ofmmense-
ly rich deposits which will be seized of course on
the first arrival In short this is the 4S and 49
fever over again, on the part of few individuals

The Old Homestead.

When first the skies grow warm and bright,
And flush with gold the hours,
And in her PALE faint robes, the spring
Is calling up the flowers
When children, with unslippered feet,
Go forth with hearts ofglee
To the straight and even furrows
Where The yellow corn must be;
What beautiful embodiment
OF ease, devoid of pride,
Is the good old-fashioned homestead
With doors still open wide
But when the happiest time is come,
That to the year belongs,
OF uplands bright with harvest gold,
And meadows full of songs;
When fields of yet unripened corn,
And daily garnered stores,
Remind the thrifty husbandman
OF ample threshing floors
How pleasant, from the din and dust
OF the thoroughfare aloOf
Seems the old-fashioned homestead,
With steep and messy roof
When home the woodman plods, with ak
Upon his shoulder swung,
And in the knotted apple-tree
Are scythe and sickle hung;
When light the swallows twitter
Meath the rafters of the shed,
And the table on the ivied porch
With decent care is spread
Then hearts are lighter and freer
Than beat in the populous town,
In the Old-fashioned homestead,
With gables sharp and brown.
When the flowers of summer perish,
In the cold and bitter rain,
And little birds with weary wings
Have gone across the main;
When cuIls the blue smoke upward
Toward the bluer sky,
And cold, along the naked hills,
And white the snOw-drifts lie
In legends of love and glory
They forget the cloud and storm,
In the old fashioned homestead,
With hearthstone large and warm.
