A BTORT FOIt FAUMKHfl' DA0GOTEBS. \I dont know what to io ! That darkey away to the raining, and here's dark clouds 1 nic, when I've lots of hay to draw In, besides ving nwuy what we've cit to-day. Dear DWS wiieu the cows'll get milked to-night, If we wait for that fellow to bring 'em. Like as not he's drunk again, and Ics behind some tree or fence. Margery, cant you go for the cows J\ 'I would in a minute, if 'twarn't for finish- ing Ironing, and foldiu' up Ue clothes.\ \I'll do it for you, Margery,\ said Elinor Kingsley, the youngest daighter of farmer Kingsley. \Pshaw !—no you can't. You'd maybe fold the bosoms in and wrinkle them. No, no, you can't do it. Miss Nelly.\ \No I wouldn't Margery. I'd fold th«m nicely. But never mititl, if you'd rather do them, I'll go for the cows myself. Where are they, father? 1 ' \That's the girl for luck 1 Why Nelly, I shouldn't wonder, if, like Rebecca, you got a husband by the operation.\ \Go along, father! But first tell me where to find the stupid things.\ \Oh yes, I forgot. They're up in the ten acre lot by the little woods.\ Away trudged the merry, light hearted girl to the pasture land, where, utter some delay, she succeeded in collecting the bovine flock. A dashing young gentlenuui, with splendid turnout and dainty kids, came sweeping by. This was a dandy lawyer who had settled in the town close by, and who had been some- what smitten by the pretty daughter of farmer Kingsley. Now, though fanner Kingsley was a working man, yet he was looked up to by all who knew him, lor had lie not scr\«d 8<rvorul|terms in the Legislature ? and were not his daughters more than common when they htil learned al! that could be learned in the distriet school, and two quarters in the academy besides? When young lawyer Yoing saw who was driving tho cows he stared, it id drove on. Too countryfled for me, h\ thought, and did not even bow to Nelly. \What a proud, silly follow!\ thought Nellie, and walked along q»ic unconcerned. The cows walked too nbwly, nnd Nellie found it necessary to break a whip from the bushes, in order to expedite their movements. A little shout and a flourish ->f the whip made them step on more lively, wlen carriage num- ber two drove up. \Can you tell me, Mi*s, wieroMr. Kingsley lives?\ \Yes.. That's his house ofcr there by that locust, grove.\ The traveler cast a Hoarding glance at the youiiK henlwoman, nnd bowlijj low, gracefully iouchiner his hul, drove on. When Elinor had driven ber charge to the yard, she slipped in the hack door, and ran up to her room. Here she four.O her sister Jane, on his way to Albany near here—is my belt true?—and father and his father were always great friends—do button these cuffs, Nell— and, if report is correct, George Temple is a very promising young roan. I saw him as be drove up, and he's magnificent, Nell. I hope he's not engaged, for I meari to set my cap for him. I hopo ho hasn't seen you driving home thecows.\ \But lie has though, both seen and spoken to me, but he thought me only a servant, I gness.\ • \How vexatious 1 Do try and apologize.— Try to make it appear that yon did-it out of frolic. We .shall suffer in his estimation if he thinks we are mere farm drudges.\ \Not I. If Mr. Teriibte is so weals as to despise a person for making themselves useful, why, then, I'd despise him.\ The hay was safely housed, and that unfit for bringing in, safely capped; the cows milked and sent away to the meadow t the tea smoking on the board, and the family and their gnest at the table, ere the threatened shower burst up- on them. It came then, loud booming, with lightning flashes, and then came down the rain in torrents. When farmer Kingsley could be heard above the din of the warring elements, he said : \Did you ' ....--- Jane Kingsley looked annoyed, but Elinor said: \Not any, father; they were just where you said.\ \It's too bad,\ said Miss Kingaley, \that our colored man was away to-night. Ho has never done sobeforS ; but Nellie will not proba- bly be called upon to repeat the journey.\ \The journey was nothing. In fact, I rather enjoyed it.\ \Oh no, the journey nor the employment didn't hurt yon in the least. I told h M Tl th t Did you have any trouble Lu finding the cowa, Nellie?\ y e least. I told her, Mr. Temple, that maybe she, like Rebecca of old, might get a good husband by the performance.\ Mr. Kingsley was not aware that a certain young gentleman had actually met and talked with his daughter when engaged in this lauda- ble employment, else he would not have made tho remark, even in jest. Nellie blushed rosy red, and said: \You are too bad, papa. You would not expect any gentleman to fall in love with a girl that was good for nothing but driving the \I could vouch for more than that-with yon, my child,\ said he, giving here a loving look. Miss Jane was vexed aud annoyed that all the attention was directed to her sister. \Fathers are always partial to wild, romping girls. For my part, I think it doesn't become a lady to be seen driving cows; and, besides, Nellie did it for mere frolic.\ \Was it, Nell?\ \No papa. I did it to help you when you was so anxious about the hay ; and I enjoyed it too, I am sure; they walk so funny—so un- gracefully, and they are worse still when they trot.\ \A cow trot! What would you give to see a cow trot, Mr. Temple?\ \I believe I had that pleasure this evening,\ said Mr* Temple, \and I fully agree with Miss Nellie, as to their ungracefulness. They give, I think, an unnecessary sling to the foot, and have a dull, shambling gait.\ \Iteally the conversation has taken quite a genteel turn. Mr. Temple, I move we change the subject. Tell U3 something about the city.\ With that deference a gentleman always shows a Judy's wishes, he turned the subject to another channel. He talked most to MISB Kingsley, but his eyes sought oftenest Miss Nellie's. He prolonged his visit for a week, and accompanied Nellio in many a strawberry hunt. Jane tried to charm him by her exquisite music, and he turned over her leaves and listened attentively; but he much preferred Nellio's songs, and often joined in the singing. When she saw that her sister was the object of his affections, Jane good-naturedly left them alone, and went about her household affairs. George Temple's visit to the Kingsley farm grew more and more frequent, and when au- tumn came, he asked Mr. Kingsley for the hand of his darling Nellie. Need we say it was cheerfully granted, and that she went to spend the holidays with her husband in the city. The bride, it was conceded by all, looked very lovely; and, though she knew it not, was envied by all the unmarried ladies. George Temple has risen, step by step to high office, and Nellie wears her share of the honors with grace and dignity, although she is very often at the White House and Is intimate with its occupants, George Temple often tells how he first saw his wire driving home her father's cows, and Bhe never blushes or is ashamed of it. MOHAL: Young ladies, don't be afraid to be seen In useful employment. 1 Sheriff's Attachment. Court was in session, and amid the tmiltt plicity of business which crowded upon him at term time, stopped at the door of a beautiful widow on the sunny Bide of thirty, who, by the way, had often bestowed melting glances on the aforesaid sheriff. He was admitted, and the widow appeared. The Confusion and fright which the arrival of her visitor occasioned, set off to greater advantage the captivating charms of the widow M . Her cheek9 bore the beautiful blended tints of the apple blossom ; her lips resembled the rosebuds, upon which tho morning dew yet lingered, And her eyes were like quivers of Cupid; and glances of love and tenderness, with which they were filled, resembled arrows which only invited a \beau\ (pardon the pun) to do full execution. After a fow common-place remarks, \Madam said the matter-of-fact sheriff, \I have an attachment for you.\ A deeper blush than usual, mantled the checks of the fair widow; while the glance of her downcast eyes were centered upon her beautiful foot, which, half concealed by flow- ing drapery, patted the floor. She with equal candor, leplled: \Sir the attachment is reciprocal.\ For some time the sheriff maintained an astonished silence, and at length he said : \Madam will you proceed to court?\ \Proceed to court 1\ replied the lady, with a merry laugh; then, shaking her head, she said: \No sir; though this is leap year, I will not take advantage of the license therein granted to my sex, and therefore I greatly pre- fer that you should proceed to court.\ \But madam, the justice is waiting.\ \Let him wait; I am not disposed to hurry matters in so unbecoming a matter ; and beside, sir, when the ceremony is performed. I wish you to understand that I greatly prefer a minis- ter to a justice of the peace.\ A light dawned upon tho sheriffs brain. \Madam said he, rising from his chair, with solemn dignity, \there is a great mistake here; my language has been misunderstood; the attachment of which I speak was issued from the ofth e of Squire C , and com- mands me to bring you instantly before him, to answer a contempt of court, in disobeying a ttubpwnu in the case of Smith vs. Jones.\ .•at tlui Nr. Temple Life appears too short to bo spent iu nursing limosilies or registering wrongs. The best actions we never recompense, and e worst are seldom chastised. Life is a farce to the rich, a comedy to tho Mtraenloua Baeape of Ptrtle* from • Cave. Indianapolis Herald of the 12th contains a letter written at LeavenwoTth on trio 8th Ibst., in which an account of an exploration of the celebrated \Dead Man'g Cave,\ situated near Leavenworth, is given. It cantatas several thrilling incidents. The exploring party con- sisted of Major Tnrockmorton of Louisville, Captoin-Holcratt, 8beriff Swajne, Dr. E. R. Hawn, and Lyman E.Knapp of that place, Mr. Jewe Brandon of Nashville, wdthl Herald's correspdnderit The party proceeded to the subterranean river, which Hows through the ca?e, when, says the letter, » consultation was had upon the bank^ to determine whether an attempt should be made to cross In its present swollen condition. Mr. Knapp, myself, and 8her!ff Swayne, suggested an aba»donment of the expedition, but were overruled by Dr. Hawn, Major Throckmorlon, Captain Holcraft, and Mr. Brandon, who, while admitting the dangerous character of the attempt, declared they would rather perish than abandon the expedition now, and stand the ridicule which srAh a movement would entail upon their head*. The boat waB accordingly launched, aud Captain Holcraft, Dr. Hawn and myself entered, the doctor play- fully remarking that Bome men 'who were des- tined to die another death could never be drown* ed. We found the passage much easier than we expected. Captain Holcraft took the oars, while I grasp- ed the tiller, and the doctor held aloft the flam- beau. A few vigorous strokes, and with a sensation of relief, we felt the keel grate upon the pebbles of a sloping bank on the other shore, in still and quiet water. A lusty cheer from the doctor made the caTern ring, and in- formed the rest of the party that the passage had been safely accomplished. Captain Hol- craft then returned, and soon brought over the remainder of the party. Continuing the exploration, the party came to a place where was discovered a deep circular hole, apparently almost bottomless. Stones dropped into Ha gaping mouth would be heard sullenly plunging from Bide to side, until the noise of their descent was lost in the abyss far below. Mr. Enapp being the lightest of the party, was let down by a strong cord a distance of some thirty yard?, when he vigorously signi- fies that he had seen enough by jerking the rope. He was drawn up, looking a trifle paler than usual, and declaring that his curiosity had been amply satisfied. Mr. Knapp said that, after descending a dis- tance of 15 or 20 feet, numerous winged things apparently bats, flitted constantly'aboat his ears, viciously snapping their mandibles together with a devilish sort of twitter. One of these- cold, clammy, and inexpressibly nasty, alight, ed on his face and inflicted a severe bite. Mr. Knapp nearly fainted with disgust, and decUr- ed that if the rope had not been tied under his aims he would have fallen. .The party having become quite satisfied with sight-seeing under ground, were about ready to leave for daylight, when, upon the earnest so- licitation of Dr. Hawn, the party was persua- ded to continue the explorations a little beyond, when, says tho writer, the most painful portion of the story commences. The party entered a new cavern, which suddenly narrowed- Mr. Knapp, going first, passed through the opening on his hands and kuee3, and entered another large chamber. ^ Dr. Hawn, who is a very heavy man, attempted to follow, and became inextricably fixed in the passage. He could neither ge't forward nor back. For three hours the party worked incessantly, but all to no pur- pose. We sent back to the river and got the iron stake, with which the boat had been fastened, to use as a crowbar. With this the doctor might hare been extricated, but here a new ca- lamity manifested itself. One by one the lamps had burned eat, until barely enough oil' was left to light us on onr way back to the river. The thought of being imprisoned in that living tomb was too 'terrible to be endured, for we knew that, without light, we could never find our way back. A panic seized upon the party, and hastily leaving the doctor and Mr. Knapp to their fate—for the doctor's body effectually blocked up the way against Mr. Knapp's return—we rapidly retraced our steps, crossed the river, and returned to the town. A supply of oil, tools, &c, were procured, and .although fatigued almost to the point of disability, fre returned to the cave, determined to rescue ouc comrades or perish in the attempt. The river was crossed, and we proceeded to the grand chamber where we had taken our lunch, ac- companied by numerous citizens of Leaven- worth. But, search as closely as we would, we could not find the gallery in which the doctor and Mr. Knapp was entombed. In vain we ex plored and shouted, until worn out and faint- ing. All to no purpose. Nearly three days have passed since we first entered the cave, and during all that time it has been full of peo- ple uselessly hunting for the two unfortunate men. One after another of the various galle- ries leading from the grand chamber have been explored and blazed with chalk marks, but still the missing men cannot be found. We are be- ginning to lose heart, but will persevere as long as there Is the faintest hope. The guide of the Mammoth Cave inKentncky, has been sent for to'assist us hi the search. I shall remain here a day or two longer, to do what little I can, and I will inform you if the men or their bodies are found. Mr. Knapp has since been found.
