She told ber husband tb^t she would, With that, provide the little fellow a horse to ride by the time he should be twenty-one years of age. With the half-dollar she bought a pig. She fed the pig with such scraps, etc,, from tbe kitchen, as would otherwise have been thrown away, for she had determined that her husband should not incur any expense in the plan which she had adopted to get the horse. In about twelve moirths, when the pig had become large enough to be fattened for pork, she bought e ight bushels o f corn, promising the neigh bor of whom she bought it that she im when she had killed hog. So in a few months reached such a size that he brought about fourteen dol lars. With fourteen dollars she bought calri using the balance o f the money ► pay her husband all expenses of aeping the calf, except the grass hich it ate in the fields. In the course of two or three years the calf had grown so well that it brought thirty.five dollars. This amount, af- er paying all expenses not before paid, was quite sufficient for the pur chase of a colt, almost ready to be put under the saddle; and by the time her little boy was six years old, his horse was ready f o r him ; but he was not quite large enough to take a ride,— C h ild r e n 's F r i e n d . sie, h— to chauj^ 'Hothing,” she “ What has occurred ige you so ?’ thing,” she replied, faintly.

He was one o f the hunters of the tribe, and had bis rifle in \bis arms, while the blanket concealed everything ex cept his face.

He was very friendly and could speak pretty good English, and as we walked towards tbe camp he informed me that be had been out hunting a ll the morning, and had not as yet killed anything for his dinner. I knew what he was after.— He had seen .the chickens that Dan carried, and was talking for them. I gave him one, and we were not troub led any longer with his company, as he hurried off to cook it. Itt about five minutes we reached the camp, and found about fifty men, women and children, lounging around iofcing, some while otb- ip, and' not, one'of tue whole gang engaged in any thing useful, except a young girl, wbo had a rude frame ip front of her, and was shaving the hair from a deer skin.

Many’s the time I ’ve laid down and looked up on that high old mountain, and wondered if there was ever a place so grand and beautiful, and then I would turn and -look at the river a flowin’ along so peaceful iu the bright sun shine. And the last time I was there it was the day before I was to start for America, an’ I said to myself, well, I might see places that people would say was pret tier nor this, but to my eye there was no place so handsome as the old home in Ireland.” Poor Dan, how he loved his dear old Ireland, and how much more I thought o f him for that very reason, for if a man does not love his country and bis home, no matter how humble or univiting it may be to a stranger; there is not ranch room in his heart to love anything else. After chatting away for some time, we both fell asleep, and when X awoke I telt as though something had touch ed my leg, and, looking around, I perceived a huge moccasin snake crawling off towards mv gun, which it promised herseJ ,nd telt that shi could extract much si that evening’s pleasure. Several times did Mollie pass heri lover, who, all ignorant of ber prox imity, was searching for her every where.

And what a becoming 'costume you have.” “ AH this is useless,” said Mollie, scornfully. “ You know very well that you have been talking to me, calling me Jessie and telling me about ir distasteful engagement.” ENOUGH'IN ONE BED. From the Star Spangled Banner. Emigration to the State of Michi gan was so great during the year 1835-6, that every house was filled every night with travelers wanting lodging. Every traveler here at that time will remember the difficulty of obtaining a bed iu the hotels, even if he had two or three “ strange bed fellows.” The Rev. Hosea Brown, an eccen tric Methodist minister, stopped one night, at one of the hotels in Ann Ar bor, and inquired if be could have a >m and bed to himself. The bar- told him he could, unless they d be so full as to render it neces sary to put another in with him. A t an early hour the reverend gentleman went to his room, -locked the door, and soon retired to his bed and sank into a comfortable sleep. Along to- the door. “ Hallo! you there,” he exclaimed, what do you want noiv f ' —particu lar stress on the last word. “ You must take another lodger, sir, with you,” said the voice of the landlord. What] another yet?” W-by, yes—there 5s only one in here, is there !\ “ One! why here is Mr. Brown and a Methodist ininistei ------ ^ - keeper t should b lister and myself, al ready, and I should think that enough for one bed, even in Michigan.” T h e lan d lord seem e d to th in k so, too, and left the trio to their repose. To A v o id S leeplessness .- —If you wish to sleep well, eat sparingly of early suppers.

The snake bad by this time settled himself very comfortably on the gun-stock, and was apparently asleep, with -his bead resting upon the coils of bis body. I didn’t stop long to look at him, as there was nothing very handsome’or attractive .in his appearance, but, drawing my revolver, I sent a bullet at him which cut through three folds of his ugly car cass, and caused him to rear his head about six inches and make an ugly strike, bnt bis wrath and venom were spent upon the air, and he fell upon the grass. 1 seized my gun as quickly as 1 conld, and bringing down the butt upon hia beau, dispatched him All this was the work of a few sec onds, when, hearing Dan’s voice in- the snake—I was looking, foi etbing that I did not want to find.’ .“ I should think so,” said Dan. “ There was-a lot of'old trumpery there, such as band-boxes, worn out harness and old boots, and my atten-- tion was rather diverted froi dieile movingoving tht snake wh m | the The;^ occepied a small reservation on the aouth aide » f Buffalo lake. There was another tr|be some twen^ ty ipUes to the northward—the Me- Dominess-—:^whose condition and gen eral appearance-was superior to the Winnebagos. They were protected bylhe government; and received regu lar, annuities of' food, blankets and money. About the first of September they would come dowd to the lake and encatfip there a couple of weeks for the purpose of gathering the wild rice that grows in this marshes along the lake,andit that they and the lake, and it not unfrequently happened that they and the Winnebagos would have a fight,^ especially i f either party were drunk. The last fight they had was two yeara before I was there, when four were ^Iled and a number badly w^ounded with knives and clubs. Dan and I walked around among them, hot I sa.w that he was anything but comfortable, and kept close by me all the time. I gave my' two re maining chickens to an old squaw, who* was very profuse in her thanks, and I proposed to Dan that we catch him clear off the j a few fish and start for home. Dan sd to be nearly three | was very glad to g et away from them, lie ugly head wa» twist- and We. walked down td the bridge ^ lese old traps about, when' I saw a strip of wbat I took to be rolled leather, aod said to John : \Here is a first-rate lash for you whip,” at the same time drawing it oat from under the bed ; when to m'y surprise and horror, I found that I had the snake—holding him fay the extreme end of his tail.\ “ Oh, mnrtherl” said Dan, “ an’ didn’t he bite y*\’ “ As I rai ; floor, he seem it long, and mg quiring ; “ Yi^h^t’a the matter I turned towards him, and to my hor ror, saw a huge moccasin not six inches from his leg, and apparently asleep. . “ Don’t move, Dan,” said I. At the same time, cocking my gua'j I brought it up, and before it touched my shoulder I shot the snake into pieces, when Dau jumped up, rubbing hia shin and shouting; \ Be m y sowl, you’ve shot me I -I -feel the blood.” , A few pellets of shot had stung his leg ; but when I pointed to the torn body of the snake, tbe poor fellow was frightened nearly out o f his wits. ' ’Yas that feller on me ? Begorra I lught I felt something.” I,at go my arm, Dan ; there’s an. other,\ said 1, and I shot him ; and, reloading quickly, it was not two minatea before 1 killed another. The place was literally alive with them. “ What shall we do f ' said Dan, hts hair fairly standing on end with terror. “ Get out of this as quickly as possi- bie,” ‘said I. ** Come,'follow me, and make as much noise as you like, for I expect that piece of low ground tl\al we have to pass throqgh is' full of them, and may be you can frighten them off.\ Dan needed no second inyitotiqn, clue to help me. you, I knew it was the little girl I love so dearly,” Mollie pressed his arm gently, as if thank him, fer those words; and then, with the perversity that seizes all woman kind at times, she! said archly; So you intend to devote yourself to poor little me; I have pot dared to expect that.” “ Fortunately, I have succeeded in rid d in g m y s e l f o f m y g u s h in g fia n c e e ;' I lost myself in a crowd,jiiil I shall take pretty good care that I am not found.” Mollie’s heart seemed to stand still. What was the meaning of hia words ? “ Shall we dance, Jessie ?” he asked, ressing the white-gloved hand that ated upon his arm. Mollie oould not speak; she simply shook her head. : She understood it all now. Charley had supposed her to be some one else —some Jessie, with whom he had evi dently made an appointment. It was with almost superhuman effort that she controlled herself. At first, she felt as if she would faint; then anger took the place o f pain, and that gave her strength, aodshe resc ed th a t s h e w o u ld d r in k th e b it t e r c u p to the dregs, learn all qf his hateful story, and then, after showing him bow sh e despised hiajj-she w o u ld bu r y herself in some secluded spot away from ‘ all the world.

She was strdng enough to speak now, and she said, in a voice thafc.no one would have recognized as Molli© Bemsen’s : . . “ No, not ill, but afraid. She might see us—the one you came\ with Mollie could not trust herself to mention her own name, for she felt that her voice would waver i f fibo did. “.I have no fear, Jessie. I am keeping tbe.whole width of the ball between us. I wish we might J^Q.ver be nearer.” “ Then,, why have you asked her to^ marry you?” and her voice trembled ^n spite o f a ll she could do.; “ W hy do yon asfe me that trouble some ^uestioui darling ?, ; But I will tell you how j her father k ?i?ii—1 ) a mist heO C e fO I iu, a u u p u c ^ a a o c u the ring that he -had placed her forefinger only the week before. “ But Mollie”— She turned abruptly away, and has tened down the lobby, ber heart throb bing with pain, and an uncomlbftable lump rising in her throat. He must not know how she was suf fering ; above all, he must tiot see her cry; she had discarded him with the scorn, be deserved, and he must never know what pain it had cost her; so she' hurried on to the cloak-room,- >ping to reach its friendly* shelter e the threatened flood of tears came. She was staftifad by hearing a voice, “ Where are ybu going, Jessie?” You said yoU would be back in h a l f an hour, ard no# I fiad you rushing along'as if you were mad.* What is the meaning of this ?” Mollie looked up and 'saw a court ly train of thoughts rehears ing injuries, even if roal, as ah of these are likely to have a bad effect in a person w h o is a p t to be sleep - ; at night. Avoid having too much company. Many persons be come so excited with the meeting of friends that sleep departs for a time. Thereis pro’oably nothing better,after cultivating a tranquil mind, than ex ercise in the open air. By observing these simple rules, sleeplessness, in the majority of instances, may ‘be wholly cured.
