heaven in their match, so that John
Brown, of Hadding;oa, was not SO far
wrong when he felt the time had come
for him to enter the holy estate, and
that he had seen the woman the Lord
had made to be his wife, aud went to
tell her so; aud the good soul knew
what he had come about, and was j;.st
as sure as he was that she was meant
for him, and he for her. Yet he said,
My dear madam, you know what am
going to say; but, if you please, before
| say it we will ask blessing" And
that was what they did. = II is the ex-
perieucc Of oil times, and, no doubt, Of
all people, that men aud women are
made for each other, to be husband and
wife, aud are very often brought to
gether by a providence they cannot
account for and can never be separated
10 their souls any more. A young man
goes into a room with heart as free as
an minated swallow, and comes out Of

What Becomes of the Coin.

In the reign Of Darius, gold was
thirteen times more valuable, weight
for weight, than silver. In the time of
Plato, it was twelve times as valuable.
In that Of Julius Caesar, gold was only
nine times more valuable, owing, per.
haps, to the enormous quantities Of gold
seized by him in his wars. 1t is a
natural question to ask, what becomes
Of the gold and silver2 A paper read
before the Polytechnic Association, by
DIR. Stephens, recently, is calculated to

ty-fve per cent. goes to Europe; twen-
ty-fivc per cent. to Cuba; fifteen per

The Magician of the Plains.

II was a pleasant event in my life

Grignon. | was on my way to Caliior-
mia, aud had taken the overland route
in preference to any other 1t was on
my journey across the plains that |
made his acquaintance. Our party

u solitary man. The horses were dead
and the mau nearly SO. paid the ut
most attention to his wants. Being
medical man / gave him all the benefit
of my skill and care. As he recovered,
he naturally entertained strong friend
ship for me. His wagon had fallen
behind the train to which he belonged,
and they had been compelled BY their
own necessities to desert him.
The conjuror, however, was destined
for far more glorious fate than to die
miserably in the desclate American de.
sert. He was to become an astonisher
to the natives, (lndians,) savior to
civilized lives, and lion in California.
We resumed our journey. We had
started, however, like many others in
those days, with insufficient prepara.
tions. As soon as we found out our
mistake we bad to be very economical
in our provisions. We killed buffaloes
whenever we found them, and always
replenished our water casks at every
stream. At length, however, we came
to dry aud parched waste, where there
was scarcely drop Of water, scarcely
blade of grass, and not a single living
animal of any description.
And now began the troubles of our
journey. We had come into the couu
try of the warlike Indians and they were
not slow to acquaint them with the fact
Every day they prowled around us in
great numbers, threatening aud insult
ing US. Occasionally they used to
snatch up something and dart away on
their feet horses. We did all that we
could to be friendly, and determined to
avoid an open rupture as far as possible,
for there were only twelve on oar side,
and on their side apparently twelve
hundred.
Every day, however, only madc mat
ters worse. In spite Of our precautions
the Indians grew more aud more abusive
aud insulting. We became watchful,
and tried to be more forbeariug, but our
forbearance was taken for cowardice,
and the savages began to think that
they could do anything with us.
We held a council Of war, and deter
mined to bring matters to crisis at
once.
The crisis soon came.
Ono day big Indian came riding
along by US. He began talking in a
contemptuous way, and gesticulating
furiously. AT last, he asked one of our
men for his gun. The man refused
The Indian repeated his question, and
attempted to take the gun from bis hand
The man drew back. The Indian sprane
forward, fourishiug his knife and threat,
ened. Az this the man calmly leveled
bis piece, and shot the Ipdian through
tho heart.
As the wretch fell shrieking from his
horse the plain seemed to be alive with
other Indians. From behind every
clump Of trees, every hillock, every
rock, and every rising ground they
poured forth in countless numbers. We
had never seen 50 many assembled to
gether as nov.

SUMNER.
Through the sultry summer skies,
Light clouds slowly come and go,
Peacefully their shadows fall
On the dreamy world below.
Merrily the crickets sing,
In the meadows green and fair,
Summer roses are In bloom
And their fragrance fills the air.
Softly sweeps the southern wind,
Ger the fields Of waving corn;
Joyfully along the air,
Sounds the welcome dinner horn,
And its echoes die away
Mid the leafy wood near by,
Where, beneath the trees a, noon,
Lazily the cattle lie.
Auruxs.
Gloomy clouds are flying past,
And the cool October breeze;
Signing with mournful sound
Through the branches Of the trees,
Scatter Autumn's golden leaves
Roughly DER the world SO drear.
Summers sunny days are past,
And the wintry storms are near.
Faded are the flowers now,
Ana the earth seems bleak and lone
To more congenial cline
Have the swallows homeward flown.
Gathered Is the golden grain
From the stubble fields below,
Soon viii weary nature find
Rest, beneath the winters snow.
WINTER.
From the north the chilling winds,
With solemn moaning, blow
Der the dark and dismal world,
Covered by the fleecy snow.
Autumn's glory long has fed,
And the trees, so tall and bare,
Stand like sentinels, alone,
In the cold and frosty air.
See the crystal icicles,
Clinging to the frozen caves,
And the cold, white window panes
Covered DER with phantom leaves.
And the thrifty farmers, now
Seated by their cheerful fires,
Take their comfort aud their ease,
While the good old year expires.

g The KUKLUx OUTRAeEs.-The sud-
der cessation of Kuklux outrages in the
South since the passage of the bill for
their suppression has been generally re-
garded as the effect of the law. Another
theory is suggested by evidence before
the Committee, which is now in session
at Washington, and that is that the
wor king of the plantations began about
the time of the passage of the bill, and
has dem anded the constant attention of
the people, to the exclusion of Kukluxing,
since that time. The busy season will
last till about the middle of July, and
then there will be rest of few weeks
1t is not claimed that the planters them
selves engage in the perpetration of the
outrages, but they give sympathy and
aid to the persons who do, and without
which the marauders would be powerless.
If this theory Of the suspension of disor-
ders is correct, they will be likely to be
renewed with the close of the busy sea-
son, and many persons believe they will
be. Ii, however, the quiet continues un-
interrupted through the two months fol-
lowing the middleof July, it is conceded
that the cause must be referred to the
legislation Of Congress.

THE CRoPs.-Advices at the agricHltu-
raj department at Washington as to the
condition of the crops of Maryland and
are highly favorable, and not dis
couraging as has been reported. Fears
have been entertained that by reason OF
the drought which has prevailed to great
extent in those states, wheat and oats, and
corn and tobacco were to
great extent a failure; but the recent
rains have placed all these staples in q
hourisbing condition, and the crop now
promises to be the largest harvested Tor
many years. The wheat crop in the Pied
mont district is particularly represented
as looking very fine. Reports from North
Carolina, Tennessee and the Northwestern
states are also very favorable, and prom
ise an abundant harvest of cereals and
breadstuffs. These reports are similar to
those which are received from the wheat
growing regions of the Northwest, In
view of the probable failure of the grain
crops of Europe, or at the best of short
crop, there, and the prospective market for
our breadstuffs, these indications of full
crop in our country are the barbingers OF
our profit and prosperity. = 81. al
