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. Difficulties are plaeed in
our-way that we may overcome them,
aud pa.?s through conflicts to victory,
and tLrough victories to triumphs
Pride goes before . destruction ; but
hon jr, and noble^esa.aud" .iodepeadeoc'e
of soul, are approved of God, aod are
profitable to mao.

STEAMED POTATOES.
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. They should steam until thc
skin cracks, ands fork will easily pene?
trate the centra If not io be brougiH
to the table soon, they should eontinjie
to steaafi|fiiil yantad, as steamed'pota?
toes become soTid "mach sooner th?
boiled ones do.

It is the policy of uraster workjnen 'tro
di r thc present system bl"specialities to
discourage 'a ge6?'ral 'fctiowledt-e . of-'the
IrtMin?ss-. The operative if? only ex?
pected to act in enc department or
branch of'.trie ' pursuit, and ' if he has
ordinary intelligence and a likiug for
the work, he soon becomes very profi?
cient therein. Laborsaving appliances
and machinery have also doue very
mud? to change the old order of tilings
The hard drudgery that was performed
oj hand in the olden time, is now dune
mach quicker, end io most instances
mach better, by machinery. ' Steam
power or water power arc tho giants
that are made to do service for mao,
and are obliged to perform the heaviest
share of the task that for centuries of
toil laid so many ?treng men low, and,
io too many instances, in the fait flush
of their manhood. Articles manufac?
tured undera syetc.rn where each opera
I tive is kept steadily at one kind of work,
I are very unjform io their, general
j appearance and makeup, and for cie
jganceare unusually far in advance of
j those produced unJtjr thc old system of
j chai ging about .from one description of j
work to another. Thc new !<ystcm,
however, while it bas advantages in
?respect to time, thc finish and general
? appearance of thc goods, and the quick
and certain profits that flow from ap
active market, is fraught with evil, sj)
far es it encourages the superficial
education of the artizans themselves,
livery mechanic should thoroughly
toaster every part of his tradej so, if|
need be, he could turn Iris attention to
more things than one. Besides, there
is a monotony in always ,working at the
same thing, and the mind -freshens up
aod regains it spirit when it is afforded
relaxation by changing labor with fel?
low workmen. . '
Drill and discipline ste very necees
sary io carrying on a business where
each man performs only one particular
part ot the work ; but. when this is
observed, every thing moves smoothly
and with great precision. 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. In this
way tho prices of both goods a-nd wages
can be better maintained and values kept
fairly steady throughout the year.

Chill at Hume.
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
