He started to walk ( down the aisle just as the express } struck a pretty sharp curve, and the ] sudden swerve carried him off his feet j and tumbled him into a seat on top of ( a clergyman, who had been trying to ] enjoy a cat nap between stations. j The rural traveler extricated him- y 1 , self as soon as possioie, auu wnuuuv ^ any apology to the minister, began c swearing with a volubility which 8 proved him an expert in profanity. s The clergyman bore this for a while in c silence, and then touching the farmer's r elbow, quietly said : I "Stop! My friend, do you know 8 where you are going? If you don't, let me tell you. You and your immor- j tal soul are bound straight for perdi- t tion." ^ "Well," said the farmer, confidentially, "do you know, I rather mis- c trusted this blamed thing right from j the start; so I bought a round-trip ^ ticket." 5 Not Religious and Not Fussy.? 3 "When I came out on my regular trip 1 the other morning," relates a Maine r stage-driver, "the only passenger I had * was an old lady of very demure man- c ners.

Brother Burrough?our next door j. neighbor, by the way?never lets a t day pass without a perusal, at least, of his copy of the Holy Writ."

Early in January, 1851, Mr. Royse Jatman, a native of New York, and lis family entered that portion of the Mexican territory now called Arizona, n company with an emigrant party, >f which be was a member. Originalv the nartv numbered some 80 or 90 jersons; but disagreements bad divided them during the journey ; Mr. )atman and his friends took fhe Iniian route from the Rio Grande, with i train consisting of eight wagons and iome 20 persons. After a series of :ontinued hardships and disasters they eached Tucson entirely destitute of >rovisions, their stock broken down, ind most of them unable to proceed. Mr. Oatman saw nothing but utter lestitation before him if he tarried here, and he was sorely embarrassed vhat to dp. His stock had been reluced to two yoke of cows and one of >xen, and was so jaded after the long ourney that it was not probable they vould hold out much longer. Nearly tOO miles of a desert country lay beween him and Fort Yuma; and beyond the Colorado there was still a errible desert to pass before he could each the southern counties of Caliornia. While suffering the tortures >f anxiety and suspense, with the Roomiest prospect if they remained, a )r. Lecount, who had extensively exilored the Pacific coast, arrived from rort Yuma, and reported the route afe. He had seen no hostile Indians, nd had heard of no recent depredaions on the way. Encouraged by the information, Mr. )atman determined to push forward it once for California, and, accordingy, on the 11th of March, he set out vith such slender outfit of provisions is he could procure. Traveling for even days under great difficulties, his amily on the verge of starvation, his :attle scarcely able to drag the wagon, te was overtaken by Dr. Lecount and l Mexican guide. It was evident from he exhaustion of his team that he vould be totally unable to reach Fort Iuma without assistance. Dr. Lecount .greed to hurry on as fast as possible ,nd send back assistance from tbe tort, vhich was still distant about 90 miles. The first night beyond the Oatman amp an attack was made by a band f Indians upon Lecount and bis guide, .nd their animals stolen. Left on not, without any means of subsistence, hey were compelled to hurry on or tarve. The Mexican was sent ahead 0 procure assistance. It was 30 miles >ack to the Oatmanfi. Lecount saw o alternative but to rush on after the ;uide. He left a card, however, conpicuously fastened to a tree, stating vhat had occurred, and warning the migrant party behind to be on the Dokout for the Apaches. Although he Oatmans camped at the same spot hey failed to see the notice; or, as ome suppose, Mr. Oatman saw it and oncealed it from his family, in order hat they might not be uselessly farmed. On the 18th of Mhrch they spent a readful night on a little island in the rila river. A terrible storm blew the mter up over them ; their scanty suply of provisions was damaged, their lankets and clothing wet through, and be starving animals driven nearly rantic with fear. It was a wild and esolate place, many days' journey rom any civilized abode. Hitherto, Ir. Oatman, naturally a man of sanuine temperament, had borne every isaster and braved every danger heerfully and without flinching; but be presentment of some terrible doom eemed to have fallen upon him at bis place, and he was seen by some of be family to shed tears while sitting 1 the wagon. The next day they roceeded but a short way, when the ided animals utterly refused to move, t was impossible to urge them on fith the loaded wagon ; their strength !&s speut, and tbe faithful creatures eem ready to lie down and die. By nloading the wagon, and pushing the ,heels from time to time, the distress d emigrants succeeded at length in etting upon a uarrow flat, bordering n the river, where they halted to reruit. Mr. Oatman was greatly dejected, t was observed by the family that he >oked anxiously down the road over khich they had passed, and that he ever before seemed so utterly desponent. The sun, which had bluzed pon them fiercely all day was now ist setting. They were beset by ifficulties. Before them lay a vast esert; behind and to the right a wilierness of mountains. It was starvaion to stay, and almost inevitable lisaster to go forward. Mrs. Oatman, he noble wife and mother, always >atient, hopeful and enduring, busied lerself in attending to the wants of he children, and in uttering words of ncouragement to her husband. He, lowever, seemed utterly overwhelmed rith gloomy forebodings, and continled to look back upon the road, till, uddenly, an expression of indescrib,ble horror was observed in his face, nd the next moment a baud of Apahe Indians was seen leisurely apiroaching along the road. The chilIren perceiving instinctively that their ather?to whom they had always >een accustomed to look for protecion?was agitated by no ordiuary imotions, became alarmed ; but he ucceeded by a strong effort in rnainaining an appearance of composure, tnd told them not to be afraid, that he Indians would not hurt them. When the Indians came up, Mr. .hitman spoke to them kiudly in Spansh, and motioned to them to sit down. They sat down and asked for tobacco md pipes, which he gave them, and hey smoked a while in token of friendship. They then asked for something o eat. 3Ir. Oatmau told them his amily were nearly starving?that hey had a long journey before hem, and could ill spare any portion of their scauty stock.. However, he gave them a little bread, and said he was sorry he could not give more. After this they stood off a i little and talked in a low tone, while < Oatman set to work to reload the i wagon. It was observed that the In- l dians looked anxiously down the road, i as if expecting some approaching par- i ty. Suddenly, with a terrific yell, they j jumped in the air and dashed with up- I lifted clubs upon the doomed family. I Lorenzo, a boy 14 years of age, was i struck on the head and felled to the < earth the first blow. Several of the f savages rushed upon Oatman, and he i was seen for a moment struggling in l their midst, but soon fell a mutilated i - f \,T 1 Corpse at lueir icei. iurs. vsimau pressed her youngest child to her bo- s sora, aud struggled with a mother's I heroic devotion to save it, shrieking in t piercing accents, "Help! help! Oh, for the love of God, will nobody save I us?" I A few blows of the murderous clubs quickly silenced the poor mother and * her babe; and in less than a minute < the whole family, save Lorenzo, Olive f and Mary Anne, were lying dead or moaning in their death struggles upon i the ground. Olive, a girl of sixteen 1 years of age, and Mary Anne, a frail ohild of eleven, were dragged aside i and held in the iron grasp of two In- I dians. Lorenzo, the boy, was stunned 1 by the crushing blows which had fallen 1 upon his head, and lay bleeding by the ? edge of the precipice. In his narra- t tive he states that he soon recovered his consciousness and distinctly heard 1 the yells of the Apaches, mingled with t the shrieks and dying groans of his 1 parents. The savages, seeing him ? move, rifled his pockets and cast him I over the precipice. He must have t fallen 20 feet, and that he was not in- ? stantly killed, or maimed beyond re- c covery, seems miraculous. Strange discordant sounds, he tells us, grated on his ears, gradually dying away, and ? then he heard "strains of such sweet f music as completely ravished his ( senses." I Thus he iay until reason became r gradually restored, when, with great difficulty he crept back up the bill. 1 The sight of the dead bodies of his I parents, brothers and sisters, lying 8 scattered about the broken wagon, was 1 too much for bim, and for a while he * felt like one laboring under some hor- * rible phantom. He knew that his 8 sisters, Olive and Mary Aane, had been 9 taken captive, and the fate to which they were doomed was even more 0 dreadful to him than the sight of the * murdered family. Sick at heart, and V faint, from loss of blood, he turned away and crept towards the river. A burning thirst consumed bim. He thought he was dying. With incredi- i ble difficulty he reached the river, where he satisfied his thirst and slept a.few hours. Thus refreshed, be re solved upon an attempt to reach the Pimo Villages, which, though distant i a 100 miles, was the nearest place * known to him, where he could hope to procure relief. During the next two t days he made his way along the road? j sometimes wanting, someuiucs wci^- ? ing on bis bands and knees, resting c every few minutes when he could pro- j cure the friendly shelter of a bush ; at ^ times delirious, and constantly haunted by the horrible dread that he might t again fall into the hands of Indians, y He grew weaker every mile from hun- j. ger, thirst and fever; and worn out at f last, lay down to die. 8 A strange noise aroused him from g his stupor. Upon opening his eyes he found himself surrounded by wolves, j. He shouted as loud as he could, und threw stones at them. The nearest he * struck with his hand. Rising again, he pushed on, the wolves following * closely at his heels. About noon of -y the second day, as he was passing j through a dark ravine, two Pimo In- t dians, riding on fine American horses, ^ appeared before him, and seeing so ^ strange an object fixed their arrows and raised their bows to shoot. He addressed them in Spanish, telling ^ them he was an Araericau, aud beg- j ging them not to kill him ; upon which ? they lowered their bows and manifest- t ed signs of interest and sympathy. When they learned what had hap- j pened, they gave him some ash baked t bread and a gourd of water. Then they told him to await their return, j aud rode away. He stayed a little while, but fearful of treachery, started < on again. Wandering along the roud j until he came out of the ravine and y overlooked the plain, he discerned some moving objects in the distance, y which he speedily recognized as two t white-covered wagous. He knew they must be Americans. Overcome by emotion, he sank to the ground unconscious of all his sufferings. The wag- * ons contained friendly American fami- \ lies who had started for Fort Yuma. a * - -" * ^? ...ilinnnif on KoKai* VtfQQ I 1>CXI U?y LUC Uliuuppj ouu&iti .. IA.J safe among the Pimos. The emigrants c halted a few days until he gained suffi- ' cient strength to join them. He trav- s eled with them to Fort Yuma, which fl they reached after a journey of eight c or ten days. As soon as the Apaches had con- v eluded the massacre of the Oatman v family, and plundered the wagon of its * contents, they flew across the river, 1 taking with them the two captives, c Olive and Mary Anne. These un- * fortunate girls had seen their parents, 1 brothers and sisters cruelly murdered, 1 and were now dragged away, bare- ' headed and shoeless through a rude ' and desolate wilderness. Ferocious f threats aud even clubs were used to 1 hurry them along. Sometimes the 1 younger sister faltered from sheer lack 53 of strength ; but the savage wretches, unmindful of her sufferings, beat her, and threatened to dispatch her at once j if she lagged behind. c On the third day of their journey, t after the most incredible handships, t having traveled over 200 miles, they 1 came in sight of a cluster of low > thatched huts down in a valley. This t was the Apache village. The tribe j consisted of about 300, and lived in f the most abject condition of filth and t poverty. From this time, for many months they lived a life of servitude, working from morning till night for their captors. The scantiest pittance of food was allowed them, and that they had to gather themselves. Often they were without food for two days at a time, save such roots as they could 3ecretly devour while gathering supplies for the lazy wretches who held them in bondage. The youngest sister, Mary Anne, was of a weakly constitution, and gradually declined unier the terrible hardships to which she was subjected. There is a touching pathos in the gentleness and fortitude with which she bore her sutferngs. She seldom complained ; and it was her custom, when alone with her sister, to sing hymns and say she thought heaven would take pity on ,hem some day and deliver them. The sisters one evening sat hand in aand. Mary Anne sang one of the 'avorite hymns she had been taught >y her mother. Then gazing witn steadfast and loving eyes in her siser's face, she said, "I have been a ijreat deal of trouble to you, Olive, ifou will miss me for a while, but you vill not have to work so hard when [ am gone." The Indians gathered around in nysterious wonder; but the dying jirl saw them not. A smile of ineffable j lappiness beamed upon ber feature. ( Peacefully she sank to rest in her i lister's arms. Olive was left to bear he burden of life alone. During several dreary years tbe , >rother, Lorenzo, had vainly striven ( 0 procure the release of his sisters. ( tfo aid was furnished by the military , luthorities at Fort Yuma. The only , >erson there who took any interest in { he matter was Mr. Henry Grinnel, j 1 private citizen, who from 1853 up to i late of Olive's rescue, never ceased to >xert bis energies to that end. ? Through the services of Francisco, , l Yuma Indian, the purchase of Olive J rom the Indians was effected by Mr. , xrinnell in February, 1856. She was , >rought down to a place on the Colo- , ado at an appointed time. Here Mr. Grinnell met her. So com>letely was she disguised by long ex- ( )osure to the sun, by paint, tattooing ind costume, tbat he could not believe hat she was a white woman. When te spoke to her she made no answer. >ut cried. It was not for several days , ifter her arrival at Fort Yuma, that he could utter more than a few brok- ' sn words of English. Subsequently , he met her brother and, was taken ( >y bim to his residence near Los An- , ;eles. . ( MARRIED LIFE. \ The Right Kind of a Wife Makes the Right Kind of a Husband.

There are a 1 ew people in every pluce who seem to J lelight in running about and telling everything they hear, and the worst of it all is that they do not always confine themselves to the truth. With some it has grown to a disease. They just must talk about somebody. It is a great source of evil to a town or a community, and the devil wants no better agencey than this to accomplish his design, and the person so engaged is doing for the devil what he won't do himself.

When the moon is exactly in opposition to the sun the light of the latter is reflected from the whole of the surface, and we say there is a full moon. When the moon is exactly with the sun it can not be seen at all, and only when it has fallen a little behind the sun in its motion does the new moon become visible. We see but one side of the moon, because the moon revolves on its own axis in exactly the same length of time as that required for its revolution round the earth.

One Californian photographer has even contrived a kind of photographic trap, by which a wild animal can photograph itself. The camera, fitted with a flashlight, is planted near the trail of the animal, find a trigger is hidden on the trail in such a way that the foot of the animal can spring it. The trigger works the camera, igniting the flashlight and. exposing the plate. With this device he has succeeded in photographing wild deer by night.
