Plow deep while sluggards sleep,
and you shall have corn to sell and

Pride is as loud as want and a
great deal more saucy.
Silks and satiDs, scarlet and velvets

Diligence is the mother of good
luck.
Pride breakfasted with plenty din

obliged 20 depend ou manual labor

fered lie was quite well educated
aud in appearance was altogether
more prepassesSiug than the average
California laboreI The farmer to
whom he applied gave him employ
ment, his duties being to do odl jobs
about the place and also to assist the
women folks about the house. These
latter consisted OF the farmers wife
and daughter about twelve years
old, who WAS exceedingly pretty aud
a great favOrite in the neighborhood.
Young Widber remained on the
farm a yeal and during the time be-
came very much attached TO the lit
tie girl so much SO that when he LETT
he kissed her goodbye and told her
that when he got rich he would come
back and claim her for his little
wife. To this agreement she laugh
ingly assented, and her "afiianced"
left for other scenes.
subsequently the father OF our he
roine sold out his farm and moved
with his family to Washington Ter

years residence on this coast young
Widber returned to his home in Ohio,
and one year ago his father died,
leaving an estate worth over $780,
600, to which our hero was sole heir.
No sooner had he come into possess

out for California to find and claim
rs his bride the little girl who had
given the parting promise ten years
ago. He was not long in ascertain
ing her Whereabouts and lost no
time in paying visit to her at her
home, near the Columbia. That the
meeting was mutually agreeable is
evidenced by the fact that the happy
couple, now Mr.. and Mrs. Widber,
passed through Woodland yesterday
