"Was you afraid of pa:'
"No, but of YOU"

"No-but SO many are"
There was u momentary silence, and
then the whispered conversation was

married life very much as they began
the world-with nothing. The mutual
confusion was evidently II damper on
their enthusiasm. They were silent
The lady cast furtive glances at the
swain, and ut last mumured audibly:

A Convenient Team.

A milkman, in Bangor, Maine, boasts
of his horse and his dog. He procures
part of his milk about half mile from
his house, and every evening he says he
harnesses his horse in the milk wagon,
puts in the cans, and throws the rcins
over the dasher. His large Newtound-
land dog then gravely steps in, and the
horse under the direction OF tie dog
driver alone, proceeds to the place whero
the milk is produced, and stops. The
are filled, the dog resumes his seat in
the vehicle, and the horse carefully
turns aud trOts home.

How to Spell.

Often In writing, :: simple word is re.

convenient. An easy way is to write
the word on bit of waste paper, in two
or three ways of which you are in doubt
Nine times out of ten the word that
looks right is right. Spelling -par,icu-
larly English spelling, is SO completely
a work of the eye, that the eye alone
be trusted. Therein no reason why "re-
ceive" and "believe" should be spelt
differently, yet sounded alike, in their
second syllable. Yet write them ere
ceve' and "beleive,' and the eye shows
you the mistake OF once. The best way
for young people, of any age, to learn to
spell i. to practice writing. Goblet, the
famous English Radical, taught his
children grammar by requiring that
they should copy their lessons two or
three times These lessons he himself
gave them in form of letters; and his
French and English grammurs arc two
of the most amusing books in the
English language. Or course "learning
to speip' came in incidentally.

board killed. Every account from the
West says the Indians are getting worse
and worse, both on and off the road
They have been killing whites again near
Silver City, and party of soldiers and
about 80 citizens are now out in pursuit.
The Indians ran of all of Mr. Stead's
and some other cattle about a mile from
town. Nothing has been heard of them
since. These events are coming to a
focus in this part of the country for the
Indians seem more determined than ever
to annihilate the whites of Southern New
Mexico and Arizona, and unless some
assistance is given soon, 1t really seems
that they have good grounds for hoping
to accomplish this end The Indians
seem determined to entirely interrupt
the mails between this place and Tucson,
and thereby cut off the communication
between the two sections of the country.

He left La Messilla on the afternoon
of the oath of April, and news had then
reached that place that one of the coaches
of the Company had been found burned
in the road between La Messilla and
Tucson that the body of the driver,
horribly mutilated, was also found-the &.
breast laid open, the heart removed,
split, and placed upon the face. -Four
ranchmen on the route, at San Pedro
were killed, also six emigrants coming
from Tucson to New Mexico. Some of
the captured mail had been found with
the checks cut to pieces, and was brought
into Messilla by one of the conductors.

that, hushed in grim repose, awaited its
coming prey, there was perpetual crow.

like the Western imitation of Chanti-
cleer, to take The sun in and make him
rise before his time, intermingled with
the perpetual roar of amorous donkeys,
whose sentimental strains in the streets
were the very reverse of those of Philo-
mela warbling amid the leaves. That
aslnine music, MS / soon discovered, was
regular institution of the charming
metropolis, where the long-eared lovers
seemed to have il all their own way.
They thronged the thoroughfares dd hb-
ium, and enjoyed themselves as they
pleased, without let or hindrance. If
Paris is the hell of horses, Port au
Prince is the heaven of asses My first
resolution at break of day was to find,
if possible, n villa in the country, and
journing in the land My efforts were
crowned with brilliant success by the
discovery of delicious little box about
two miles distant, which had been con
structcd in colonial times by people who
knew how to combine comfort and beau
ty. The approach to it between two
long rows of palms gave indication of
loveliness beyond, which was not belied
by the cottage and the grounds. 1t was
but Of one story, to be sure, and had
only four rooms, but that was quite room
enough for my singeness of person and
purpose. whilst everything was as neat

the door was a great bath almost as ca
pacious as the dwelling, shaded by UNI
brageous foliage and fed by mountain
stream that rushed through it with re-
freshing sound and look Infinite was

plunge until one unlrcky afternoon the
demon of curiosity prompted prone

not walked more than mile when /
came suddenly upon multitude Of wo-
men wading in the rivulet and washing
the filthiest lot Of clothing that ever dis
gusted mortal eyes. 1t was all over with
my swims. Never could prevail upon
myself to indulge in them again. The
idea of laving in water that had once
been impregnated with such filth, how
ever well it might have been purified be-
fore reaching the bath, was too much for
my philosophy. Then indeed was the
bliss of ignorance appreciated, and the
thirst of knowledge deplored. M Walsh
