WAIT FOR ME. Seawnrd runs the little stream Where the wagoner cools his team, Where, between the banks of moss, Stand the stepping-stones to cross. O'er them comes a little maid, Laughing, not a bit afraid ; Mother, there upon the shore. Crossed them safely just before. This the little lassie's plea? Wait for me, wait for me ! Ah, so swift the waters run? One fnlso step, 'twas all undone ; Little heart begins to beat, Fearing for the little feet, Soon her fear will all be lost, When the stepping-stones are crossed. Three more yet on which to stand? Two more?one more?Iben on land ! 'Tis the little lassie's plea? Wait Tor me, wait for me I Ah, for you, my laughing lass, When the years have come to pass May One still be near to guide While you cross life's riser wide, When no helping hand is near, None, if you should call to hear? Think, however far away, Mother still knows all you say ; K'cn in hoaven heeds your plea? Wait for ?c, wait for me I f C. Clifton Bingham in Artc Tork Jfail and Bzpretf] LASSOING A LION. A WYOMING COWBOY'S TUUILLINQ ADVENTURE. "Last Summer, while in Wyoming, I had a decidedly startling advonturo," remarked a young man the other day, in prescucc of a San Francisco Call reporter. Aud subsequently, upon being questioned by the latter, ho told the following remarkble, but well authonticatcd talo: I was in the employ of a cattleman?in short, a cowboy?and besides a natural love of adventure, which I had gratified for several years, had, no doubt, imbibed some of that spirit of utter rccklcssnoss which characterizes the class of which I was. for the time being, a member. Karlj one bright morniug uiy employer sent me out to look for some horses that had strayed, be thought, somewhere in the vicinity of Lance Creek (about 500 miles north of Cheyenne), only a few miles from where jre were then encamped. Mounted on my stout little broncho, or "cow pony," I soon reached the creek, and rode slowly along its banks, keeping a sharp lookout for tho missing horses. The banks of the creek wore friuged with eottonwood and poplar trees, iutcrmingled with clumps of osiers, and a dense undergrowth; but on either sido the country was open and hilly. Experience has taught mo to bo suspicious of any tree or bush, in that section, large enough to ambush a human being, for to say nothing of white desperadoes, Sioux Cheyenne In dians From the Vino Itidgo Agency were frequently uict with, and, though, professedly at peace, were not to be trustod. Consequently, aa I rode along, I from timo to time poercd anxiously in nmong the trees and underbrush, I hod followed the course of the creek several'miles, when suddenly my pony snorted and jumped to ono side almost unseating /up.. Perhaps ton paces in front of me crouched, as if ready to spring, wore tbr?e largo mountain lions I had always had a great desiro to moot one of these croatures in his native wilds; but this was a trifle too much of a good thing to suit me. Without a second's thought, however, I whipped out my Colt's revolver? the only weapon I had?and fired at the group. At the report of my pistol two of tbeui bounded off through the underbrush aod were soon out of sight, and the other, uttering a shrill scream, writhed for a second on the ground, and then attempted to follow his companions, limping badly. My blood was up. two of the fine creatures had taken flight, and without reflecting upon tho possible consequences, I put spurs to my pony and dashed after tho wounded lion. Moving so rapidly, I know it would be impossible to shoot with any acouracy, and there was great danger of the lion turning on ino if I approached too near. Suddenly it flashed through my mind: Why can't I lasso him, as I have heard of gauchos doing on the South American pampas? A (Inched to my saddle was my braidod rawhide lasso?about forty feet in length? in tbc use of which I had, as every cowbey must, become quite proficient. One end of it was firmly attaohed to thj pommel of my saddle, and the remainder of it, carefully coiled up, was tied to the front of the saddle by means of a couple of rawhide strings or thongs. Hastily unfastening the latter?without checking my pony, which was evidently much excited and inclined to sheer away from the lion?I pre pared for the throw, I had used my lasso so much recently, doing littlo else but lasso or "rope" cattle for weeks together, that it was hut the work of a moment. Carefully measuring the distanco with my eyo, I whirled the lasso several times nrouudjmy , head, and, at what seemed the proper me. ; mcnt, let fly. The instant it left my hand < my pony, as he had been trained, stopped 1 I J 1 1 ' nuwuij, auu uruveu ouck, aituost upon his Launches. My calculations had been l correct. 1 I saw tho ropo settle around the lion's , neck, and tho next instant, when he , reached the end of it. and tightening it i throw hiin on his back. He uttered the < most appalling Bcream it wos ever my lot to hear. The iustant the rope became taut? , you may be sure I did not waste any time? t I wheeled my pouy in the opposite direction dug my spurs into his side, and daited away, dragging the lion after mo. That, 11 am sure, was too most exciting moment of my life. 1 did not stop to look back. 1 simply dug my spurs ioto my pony's flanks knowing if I relaxed my speed even for ao instant the lion might spring upon nio. liven as it was, I realized that any moment I might feel the creature's sharp claws in my and the particular manner in which a mountain lion is said to kill (by drawing back the head of the victim with ooe paw until the neok is broken) happened at ibis moment to occur to nic. It was not, strictly speaking, a cheerful reflection. At the commencement of tho uiad n>.il. I 0-lop when, on several occasions, the lasso slackened, owing to the huge bounds the, oraature took, 1 shuddered and crouched in my saddle, fearing that the next minute might bo my last. For a timo my captive ront the air with his cries, which so frightoncd my pony that he needed no urging on; he was doing his level best. So tho screaming grew less f rcqr.ent and finally oeased altogether, and I noticed with satisfaction that tho lasso remained perfectly taut all tho timo. I then for tho first t'tmo looked back, and from appearances concluded that my oaptivc was doad. I had howover, as can perhaps be imagined, a strong desire to make assurance doubly sure, and rode some distance further before stopping. Even then I was in no haste to dismount until I had ridden around the huge cat several limes, and assured myself beyond all doubt that he was dead. Ilo proved to be a fine specimen, measuring a little over four feet from snout to tail root (his tail measured twenty-six inches), but tha long drag I had given him, fully half a mile I should say, had almost spoiled his kin. Tho lasso had worn completely through the skin around tho neck, and buried itself in tbo flesh?iudeed. I bcliovc if I bad dragged him much further it would navo decapitated bun completely. Whon wounded, mountain lions, as tbey are always called in that section, are considered dangerous to encounter, and no doubt?carried away by my desire to kill one?I behaved in a reckless manner. At all events, it is an cxperionco that I should not like te go through with again. A. Yorso Farmer.?The old adage, "Never loo old to learn," has been llirown a century behind the present age, by the following letter received by the Editors of the Now England Farmer. Grmts:?I am six years old; I send you (1.00 for the New England Farmer, Monthly. Yours, J. 8. If we could hope to receive one such letter during the year, we would labor with redoubled energy in the cause of agriculture. Where are the boys and girls of the South, who intend to be happy and prosperous in the exhibition of a life of industrious thrift, enterprise and frugal enjoyment? Where are the young men who are to fill the places of aur staunch planting population, who arc now enricliiog the oouutry by their labors? Labor, preparation, study, and an acquaintance with the details of practical life, must bo all learned properly before you are worthy te step into their Bhoos. It requires years of patient observation to fit you for the task. The operation of ploughing alone, will require experience and practice, to enable the planter to exceel in it, and, unfortunately, Whert to ploto, when to plow, and how to vlow. arc matters not to h? lpamn.l ?n high school* and oolleges. So with all other departments of agricultural life. A young man of good education (?) when he commences agriculture as a calling, finds that ho has to commence the study also, and his aflcr lifo is pent in acquring what he might hare profitably learned under a proper system of agricultural eduoation. If nine-tents of our sons are to be planters, let them hare primary educations to fit them for the pursuit. If planting is to be a lottery of practice?as it has ever been in the South?we might as well desist from our recommendations. But it must not be. We must still strive on, and if there is no proper system of Agricultural Educatiou provided fer the peoplo, we must make our journals travelling schoolmaster* of the great science which feed* the hungry and olothe* the naked.?Southern Agricultural. Oaa Idia o* Sebd Corn.?ilr. Btiitor.?Observation, satisfactory to myself, leads me to the belief that the prolifio quality of corn depends in a very great measure upon the thickness of the crop from which the seed is taken. All farmers know if corn be planted close the number and site of the cars are lessened, while if groater distance be givon, the plant bears largo and, in many oases, double ears. My idea is. if oorn be crowded for a succession of years, it will, if I may so express myself, ao quire tho habit of producing lightly, which property it will not lose for soveral years, oven under a different cultivation. Take seed frein a crop which has been thus crowded and plant at any distance you please and you will have seme stalks without ears, and many wiih^but one small one. I liavo fniiml '* ? ?? " J.IUI1IIU | double-eared corn, after several year* close planting, lose its prolific charaeter and yield but one ear to the stalk. I think, therefore, every farmer should plant a portion of his crop thin, expressly for seed, and from this solect the larger of the double ears for planting. Seed, thus selected, may be planted much aloser than that commonly used. It. W. Nolani>. We have noticed tho deficient ftuitfulness of thick p'anted corn that our correspondent speaks of, but had never the wit to suggest a remedy. We hope our friends will try the thing for themselves.

C., February 23.?Tint portion of Asheville cast of tli* Branoli ami known as Blue River and Hell's Half Acre, is settled by colored people, who elaim they are not properly represented in the press of the country. I met a resident of Blue River yesterday, who bitterly denounced the press for ignoring his part ef the eity, and aeked me if I thought it was right. I said it oertainly was unfair and I would do all I ojuld to rectify the evil if he would give me a few of the more important items of news from his quarter. I give those items below, striving as nearly as possible to use his own languago and denying myself the use of those attractive terms whioh usually embellish my own work. me cotoreu people held a ball at the Buneomba tobacco warehouse last week, which waa a great suocess. Masic was furnished by Mr. Clom Washington's Harmonica Band. Mr. Washington has a mouth that is peculiarly fitted to the larger or adult size of harmonica. The festivities were kept up till a late hour, after which we all went home highly pleased with the entertainment. Several were heard te remark that it waa the best party they were ever to. Mr. l'lum Levi has bought the old Pinkham place at Sandy Mush and will kill his dog this spring and otherwise beautify the place. P.

Mr. Johnson also informed your correspondent that be would soon be married again. His only remaining wife died on his hands from from fatal degeneration of the microbe. Mr. Johosou now hasn't a wifo to lay his jaw on. Abe Pilson and Emancipation Adams, two members of the Tar-IIeel Coon Band, got into an altercation last week while returning from a colored German on tho Bottoms, at Freedom Bensley's place. From words they soon arrived at razors, and when up near tho gap, Abe playfully asked Surrender Williams whether he would lake some of tho light or some of the dark, and thereupon carved Emancipation in an oblique manner, about north by northwest, as tho crow flies, from the wishbone te tho wateb-pocket, in such a way as te let the moonlight in on bis works. Friends had to put his vest on hind side before to keep him from making tho frontispiece to an almanac of himself. At first it was thought that Emancipation had been seriously injured, but Surrender Williams, whs plays the Jrsl fiddle, took the A string from his instrument and sewed up Mr. Adams in a neat aud tasty manner, se that if the fiddlo string had matched the goods in color you couldn't have told where the etitcbcs had been taken.

George Brooke, president cf the company, issued an address to the men, advising them to leave the Knights of Labor, I saying its laws arc more tyranical than tboee < of the most despo'ic government.

To-day an amicable adjustment was made, and all tho mills will resume Monday. Tho Rien have lost $b,000 in wages by the week's idleness. Rolling Corn in Guano.?Owing to your oft repeated request to subscribers to scud you au aecouut of any experiments tbey may make in the tray of farming, and also having seen it often stated that seed of any sort would bo killed by corniog into direct contact with guauo while sprouting, I have concluded while sending my subscription to your paper, to give you an account of a small experiment I made last rpring of rolling corn in guauo boforo planting. I soaked my corn until it was considerably swollen, and then put iu two portions of guano and ono of plastor, stirring tho corn until it became perfectly coated with the mixture, and I assure you it came up finely, and I did not have to replant a single hill where the gunno was used. It had a much better color, and got out of the way of the cut-worm much sooner than that whero plaster alone was used. I think it quite a desideratum to have something that will give eorn a good start aud push it up out of the clods, and at so trifliug an expense? a bushel of guano is en ough to plant a large field, used in that way. I have frequently noticed that, during a cold sprirg, corn is a long time taking a start, and sometimes is almost entirely destroyed by the cut-worm, 60 I would recommend all farmers to give my plan (for I shall always pursue it hereafter,) a trial, and if they are not benefitted, it will not cost nuioli. I oinnot say whether it affected the yield of the crop, but I think it did, as much as could be expected from so small a portion.?Exchange. Not That John.?lie was having his fortune told.

The Government of Germany has had in its possession for the last twenty-flea years a legacy of $4,000,000 left l>y Amlred Tcetsel, who died near Wurtemburg, and the heirship of thirty persons in tho United Siates to this immense sum of mouey has been proven. One of the thirty heirs is J. K. Teetsel, a merchandise broker on Fourth avenue, Pittsburg. A reporter had a conversation with Mr. Tcetsel this afternoon, ami ho told the following story: "My brother, James V. Tcetsel, who is a New York attorney, conducted the negotiations with the German Government for us. These negotiations have keen carried en for a long time, and he has crossed the ocean to Germany five or nix times in relation to the matter. You see, the German authorities take charge of estates and control them until the heirship are actually proven. The thirty heirs are scattered all over the United Statos. E.
