Miss Magruder.

We shall never forget that evening
we spent at Magruder S, years ago. We
admired Miss Magruder, and we went
around TO see her. 1t was summer
time, and moonlight, and she set upon
the piazza. The carpenter had been
there that day, gluing up the rustic
chairs on the porch, SO we set on the
step, in front of Miss Magruder, where
We could gaze into her eyes and drink
In her smiles. 1t seems probable that
the carpenter must have upset his glue
pot on the spot where we sat, for after
enjoying Miss Magruder's remarks for
couple of hours, and drinking seve-
raj of her smiles, We tried to rise for
the purpose of going home, but found
that we were immOvably fixed to the
step. Then Miss Magruder said !:
Don't be in hurry, and we told her
We believed we wouldn't. The CONVEX
sation had sadder tone after that, and
we set there thinking whether it would
be better to ask Miss Magruder to
withdraw while we disrobed and went
home in Highland costume, or whether
We should urge her to warm the poker
so that we could thaw ourselves out !;
or whether we should give one terrific
wrench and then ramble down the
yard backward. About midnight Miss
Magruder yawned and said she believed
sine would go to bed. Then we sud
denly asked her if she thought her IA
Their would have any objection to lend
ing us his front steps for few days,
because we wanted to take them home
for pattern. We think Miss Magru-
der must have entertained doubts of
our sanity, for she rushed in, called
her father and screamed. Magruder
came down with double barrelel shot
gun. Then we explained the situation
in a whisper, and he procured a saw
and cut out the piece of steps to which
we were attached. Then we went
home wearing the patch, and before
two o'clock cursed out our young love
for Miss Magruder We never called
again and she threw herself away on a
dry goods man. There is a melancholy
satisfaction in recalling these memories
of youth and rejecting upon the in
fluence of glue upon the emotions of
the human heart.

lived, and grows very rapidly. To
propagate it, gather the seed when ripe
and prepare the ground as for drilling

HairVigor
For restoring to Gray Hair its
natural Vitality and Color.

color, acitb the gloss and freshness Of
youth. Thin hair is thickened, fall
ing hair checked, and badness often,
though not always, cured by its
use. Nothing can restore the hair
where the follicles are destroyed, or
the glands atrophied and decayed;
but such as remain can be ssyed by
this application, and stimulated into
activity, so that new growth of
hair is produced. Instead of fouling
the hair with a pasty sediment, it
will keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will present the hair
from turning gray or falling off
and consequently prevent badness.
The restoration of vitality it gives
to the scalp arrests and prevents
the formation of dandruff, which is
often so uncleanly and offensive.
Free from those deleterious sub
stances which make some prepara-
lions dangerous, and injurious to the
hair, the Vigor can only benefit, but
not harm it. If wanted merely for
a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else
can be found so desirable. Contain
ing neither oil nor dye, it does not
soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich,
glossy lustre, and a grateful perfume.

Death YaIIeY.

The Beaver (Utah) Enterprise has
the following respecting a recent visit
to this noted valley
The Valley of Death-a spot al
most as terrible as the prophets Valley
of Dry Bones-lies Just north of the
old Mormon road to California, region
thirty miles long by thirty broad. and
surrounded except at two points, by in
accessible mountains. 1t is totally de-
void OF vegetation and water, and the
shadow of bird or Wild beast never
darkens its white, glazing sands. The
Kansas Pacific Railroad engineers dis
covered it, and also some papers which
showed the fate of the last Montgomery
train, which came south from Salt
Lake in 1850, guided by Mormon.
When near Death Valley some came to
the conclusion that the Mormon knew
nothing about the country, so they APP
pointed one of their number as leader,
and broke off from the party. The
leader turned due west so, with the
people and wagons and focks he trav-
eled three days, and then descended
into the broad valley, whose treacher-
Gus mirage promised water. They
reached the centre, but only the white
sand bounded by scorching peaks met
their gaze. Around the valley they
wandered, and one by one the men
died, and the painting flocks stretched
themselves in death under the hot sun.
Their the children CRYING for water,
died at their mothers breasts, and
with swollen tongues and burning vitals
the helpless mothers followed. Wagon
after wagon was abandoned, and strong
men tottered and died. After weeks
wandering a dozen survivors found
some water in the hollow of rock il
the mountain. 1t lasted but a short
time, when all died but two, who es.
capped out of the valley and followed
the trail of their former companions.
Eighty seven families, with hundreds
of animals, persisted here and now,
after twenty-three years, the wagons
Stand still complete-the iron work and
tires are bright, and the shriveled skel-
etons lie side by side"

Mice Cleaning Combs.

The practice of giving combs to be
cleared of dead bees by mice has been
practised in frame hives for more than
fifty years.
II is good only for those who own the
old gums or boxes. As the owner of
these immovable hives cannot take out
the combs, if he wants to preserve
some hives full of combs. he has to
clean them, to prevent moulding, and
mice can do that work for him.
But the cleanliness of this process is
doubtful wherever mice have access,
they impregnate the things around
with their special scent, which is far
from being agreeable, besides they eat
not only the dead bees, but the combs
also.
There is, for us, owners of movable
comb hives, better way to clean our
combs; it is to introduce them in e
May colony. between two combs full
of brood, The next day all dead bees
are removed, and the comb is scented
anew with the good odor of living bees.

gate ii he but saw the tips OF ITS
horns coming up the street. SO now
he stood transfxed with terror while
those horrid monsters came on-tramp,
tramp, tramp; hundreds of sharp,
fierce-looking horns bristling in the
air, and dust rising all about them like
thick smoke.
Poor child he could no more move
than if he had been turned TO stone
His sturdy little legs were spread wide
apart, and the tumbled curls all blown
back from his white, scared face. All

digger brother told it afterwards,
"When he did see all them cattles a
comm right betowards him he Just
threw up his arms and fell back from
sheer fright and terror, and he knew
nothing more, till, hours afterwards,
he opened his eyes to find himself IN
mammals arms, cool linen cloth on
his head, and mammals tears dropping
on his face.
Afterward he was made to understand
that one of the boys who were driving
the cattle saw him fall, and sprang and
caught him up just as one of the fore
most oxen of the drove had lifted his
feet to trample him in the dust; and the
boy had carried him down to the store,
where, of course, he was known, and
speedily brought home, all grimy and
dusty, and pale and senseless, just as
mamma was saying, " How nicely Rob
bic is amusing himself to-day / do
hope he is cured of running away "
All this mamma told Robbie while
she tenderly rubbed the little bruised
legs, and cooled the cloth on his head
in ice water.
He shut his eyes softly, and her lip
quivered sorrowfully.

said and true enough, he was no more

The Burningof Children by Il Prairie
Fire in Nebraska.
From the Omaha Herald, Oct. l.

from the Omaha Herald, OCt. 10.
Our readers are unfortunately some
what familiar with accounts of prairie
fires, but one occurred on Tuesday last
ut wilbur, on the South Platte Divis.
ion of the Omaha and Southwestern
Railroad, which surpassed in its terri.
| bic results any we have ever known. II
was indeed.a prairie fire on large
scale. II started somewhere near the
Otoe Indian reservation, southeast OF
Beatrice, and travelled at least twenty
five miles. The long dry grass was
fiercely licked it mp and swept on
across the prairie at an appalling rate
of speed. Its route lay east of Bear
Creek, and six miles east of Beatrice.
Near Wilbur, and ten miles south of
Crete. this advancing avalanche of
flame approached school-house filled
with children. The teacher knew that
the house had been provided with the
usual safeguard, that it had been
plowed around, and endeavored to keep
the children there as the safest place.
But they saw the fire coming and sprang
out in panic TO run from it. Ten
were overtaken, three were burned to
death on the spot, three others so Sc
verely that they cannot live, and four
more terribly manned by the fire, but
it is believed they will recover. Most
of the children were little girls about
seven and eight years of age, but there
was certainly one boy among the sui
ferers, and perhaps more.
Nfa.a.r fhn nI the
mother who saw three of her children
in the appalling situation we have de
scrIbed. She ran TO their rescue, and
was herself enveloped in the flames,
and 80 terribly burned that she will not
recover.
Several houses and large quantities
of grain we're destroyed by this fire. IL
spread terror throughout that section
Of the country, and the inhabitants
turned out en- masse TO subdue 1t.
Forty men went from Beatrice on Tues
day evening for that purpose, and
saved some houses that were threatened,
though they witnessed the destruction
OF great deal Of wheat, which they
we're powerless TO prevent.
DIR. De Bar, of Crete, fastened to
the spot where the children were
burned, and, with tho people OF that
vicinity, did all that was possible to re-
lieye them. He said that he had been
through the war, ind had seen men
manned and suffering in almost every
form. but had never witnessed a sight
which so completely unnerved him as
this. The school-house from which the
children fled ~ still standing, and the
teacher escaped by remaining in and
about n.
