The paper vouches for the standing and good character of the writer. The cotinuunicafi n states that in the month of July, 1845, the writer was travelling east from the Pacific, end seeking a gap or pass through the mountains, which would lead to the Rio Grande, south of Santa Fe, he found a passage which led. into their country. It was n canon < r thirty n it■ • in length. F'OM the outlet of • the canou no travel , about ai 11 ,e, when he lull:..; three won on and two children, their skin us white as snow. Immediately one of the women left the pluee in liaste, and, about sundown, three men came riding rapidly down on the finest horses ho evtr saw. Tin y were well mounted and well armed. They immediately dismounted and dis armed him. They were white men, etu h as are frequently seen in Santa Fe, and sometimes in California; The next morning early, he was ordered to mount his mule; one of the ulen rode ahead of I im, and the two others fol ’owed behind. After riding about twenty milts they dismounted, and ordered him to do the same. They had a short confab together, arid he was ordered to m tint his mult. They then gave him all his arms and traps, with ihe understanding that he was to make good time ont of the canon, aud continue going in that direction without, looking back. From ib.it point be traveled thirty miles before he reached an Indian village. It was that of a tribe of Comanches. When he told the chief, by signs, that he came out of those mountains, he was afraid of him. ll<- said that the} were the abode of the evil spirit, an t that no Indian that went into those mountains ever returned from them. He describes the country as circular surrounded by steep and high moun ts tins, covered with snow, without a break or pass. A Puzzled Frenchman, “Ilxgnto understand jour 1 an ullage Ixit-',” sail my 1 reach iriend, Mr. Arcomt, to me; “but j our verbs trouble me still, yon mix them up so with your prepositions.” “I am sorry you find them so trou blesome,” was all I could say. “i saw our friend, Mrs. James, just now,” lie continued, “She says .that she intends to break down house keeping.

If a girl expresses a fondness for in jestic men, with large whiskers, make up your miud that she will marry a very small man with none. If she declares that “mind” is all she looks for, expect to see her stand before the al ar with a pretty fellow who has just sense enough to tie a cravat bow. If on the contrary she declares she must, have a handsome husband, look about yon for the plainest person in her circle, “that is the man,” for it will be. Men are almost as bad. The gen tleman who desires a .wife, of mind, u : i " os a lisping baby who screams at the sight o! a mouse, and hides her face when she hears a sudden knock at the door. And the gentlemen who dreaded anything like strong minded ne s, exulted in the fact that his wife is even thing he declared he detested. If any two people declare them selves “fr ends and nothing more,” you may know vvljat will come next. There is no hypocrisy in all this and such matches are invariably the happiest. People do not know them selves, and make great mistakes about their indentions. Love is terribly perplexing wheu he first begins to up set one’s theories, and when his ar row first pierces the heart there is such a fluttering there that it is hard to guess t-: =e-cause. Besides man pro poses and God disposes, and it is the “1 don’t kuow what” with which peo ple fall in love, and not those peculi arities which could be given iu a pass port. JSi-g-Tbrce students at college met an aged countryman, and wishing to have a little sport, thus accosted him. The first said, “Good morning, father Abraham,” the second, “Good morn ing, father Isaac/’ and the third, “Good morning, father Jacob.’ The old gentleman replie 1, “1 am neither Abraham, Isaac, nor Jacob, but I am Saul the son of Kish, who went to seek his father's asses, and lo 1 I have found three of them.” tfaT - The Tennessee lawyer who resorted to the insanity dodge in be half-of his negro client, and expatia t and to some 1. ngth upon the absolute idiocy of the poor fellow, met with some opposition from tlm darkey him self, who exclaimed: “You can hang rue. or send me to the penitenebery, or say Is a tascal, but, Mister, please don’t say I’se a fool again.” £®“A lady had her dress trimmed with bugles before going to a bull. Her little daughter wanted to know if the bugles would blow when she and in-t (1. “Oh no, said the mother, oapa will do that when he sees tho bill.” frtg* “Young gentlemen, do not got into the habit of betting,” said a pro fessor to his (lass. “No kind of a bet is ex ‘usable—in fact, ever bet is a sin as wll as a maik of vulgarity. Have nothing to do, young gentlemen, with a bet of any kind.” “That. I suppose, puts a finisher upon our dear old friend the alphn-bet,” exclaimed one of the students. The professor smiled blandly upon the young man, and gave him fifty extra hues cf Greek.
