The Oregon Bulletin* tells this ro man : ic story : ?.Twenty-five years ago a young conple residing iu the Stare of New Hampshire j wet, loved, and determined to marry.' Like other human beings, they had bastions, and they parted in soger. The young mao moved into .another part of the coontjy, where he met another womau whom he married. A fcw _ytars later he moved to the Pacific coasr, and io time became a citizen of Oregon. The young woman fitted her iel! for the occupation of a teacher and ?rent te Iowa, where she engaged in teaching school. "Fifteen years passed by, and then the schoolmarm joined a family that was emigrating fr?re the vicinity of j where she had been residing to'Oregon, and in due time arrived there, and en? deavored to obfaiti employmeot in lier profession, but met with indifferent j&nccesss, and finally determined! to ac? cept employment as a domestic until : she ould do better. Shortly after making this resolution she was, offered a positivo in the family of a gentleman and ace pud if, but the first tyue she saw the head ut the family recognized in him her former lover. The recogni? tion na? mutual, and of course ffife lady Could not remain. Herold Luver, wbo had irrown rich, furnished her* with funds, an j she went to San Francisco, where she obtained a position in the school department of/that city. About eighteen months ago the wife of thc gentleman died, after having been in feeble health for some years. After a while the widower wrote to big flame telling her of his lose She replied with a lefter of consolation, and a Cor respoudeoce sp*aug up between them, and filially the widower made a proposal to the lady fo bory their old differences and consummate the engagement oft hoir younger days. The woman who had loved so-steadily and^so long signified her willingness, and a couple of months ago our friend proceeded to.Sap Francisco acdled his first love to the altar. They returned to Oregon, aud are now residing on one of the most beautiful farms in the Willia??ett? Valley." SAW HIT! pi PTY BETTER. Au Extraordinary Came of MlnlMterfal Euchre. Neara late New Jersey camp-nicet ing, two clergymen, a Baptist and a Methodist, were walkiog, when they saw a little girl sitting oo a stone, who was weeping bitterly. "What is the j matter, my little girl?" asked the Bap- ; list, kindly? "My-my father was .k-j killed ou the railroad ;i few days ago, md has just been buried, sir: and ruy mother is sick abed and can't work, aud we haven't nothing to eat and don't know what to do," sobbed the little girl, crying as if her heart would break. ' A truly lamentable case j.I do indeed pity you." said the Baptist, frigidly, as if he were pitying some icecream he cos ld not eat. "Bow much do you pity her, Brother C. ? I pity her five dollars," yelled the Methodist, as he threw a Y into the girl's lap. "I double your pile, brother P.," the Baptist brother said, as he slowly placed an X over the V. **I go you one helter," the Methodist bawled, os he put a ic? on the other money. "I cover your stake, Brother P.," and the Baptist clergyman's expressioo showed he was getting exc?ted as a twenty from his purse was put on thc rapidly increasing pie. ?Til top the spoils with a fifty," howled Brother P., as he drew out his last note and placed thc sum with the others, glaring savagely at his compan? ion. ''Here's a hundred dollar note, lit? tle girl," said thc Baptist, quite blaudly, now that he had got ahead of his Metho? dist brother in the Lord; "iou may rake in the spoils, for you've ?cleaned out' and 'euchred' both my friend and myself, and left us both 'dead broke." Then they walked off humming a hymn'. Now wiiat wc would like to "know is, what did those clergymen do before they were converted? WOKDS TO THINK ?F. Work is no dishonor, abd laziness is no credit to any one. It is good to have good wages ; but half pay ia better than nothing, and working tor nothing is better than idleness aud vice. There is no true manhood without independence lie whose individuality is swallowed up ty fashion, folly, or society, has lust that which he may never regato, and without which his lite most be a vam one He who restrains himself from luxury may help others io uceesaUy, Ile wuo helps others may look to God to help him.

Potatoes aro muoh more nutritious and, palatable ii they are properly steamed ihan they are boiled. Wash them clean and place them in 'a steamer over boiling water. If the potatoes'are of a good quality, tba scere: of haring them mealy and palatable is in steaming them very rapidly ; aa without a rapid condensation of steam and detention of steam to the steamer by a dose lid, the potatoes will be hard and appear not tc be done, however Jonj.they, have beca cooking.

It is possible under this system to regulate thc pro? duction of aoy kmd-of goods by thc demand; aod the surplus'over what is needed for present consumption can be limited to.a minimum quantity.

It is now proved that a steam boiler will Wow op while there is a plenty of water io it--a singular fact, the revela? tion of which at once upsets one of the chesished theories of the experts. Thc discovery is one of the results of the experiments at Sandy Hook, which were continued Friday. A steamboat boiler which has been in use for twenty five years, and bad-resisted a bydroetrat* ic pressure of thirty pounds as lately as the 2? of September last, exploded under a steam pressure of fifty three asd a hall pounds with terrific force. One frag? ment, weighing three tons, was projected to a distance of 450 feet, and uothing was left of the boiler except a mass of ruined tubes. Thc destructive effect ol such ah explosion as this on boards vessel may be imagined* Yet, siven minutes beforc^the, crash the watery level i&fia. boiler w?sJ?""?**^ tubes. Here' is a fresh puzz'a .for the mechanicians to solve ,{t shows tbsl some undiscovered forces lie at the foundation of boiler disasters. The theories concerning thc effects oj low water, superheated steam; defective safety-valves, and the sudden fotmatiorj of dangerous gases, must now be modified in accordance with the nen developments. The Sandy ilook experi? ments have proved one point of re? markable importance, and ?hey should be continued upon a larger scale, sp thal the desired results may be established I beyond the reach of controversy.-Nett York Commercial.
