PIKE FLAT. = Mr. Eprror :—Within the last six months, the flat East of our village, extending from the bridge across Wolf-Creek, at Winchester’s Mill, up to McClintock’s house, a distance of a mile and one half, and varying from a quarter toa half mile wide, has been worked to a greater extent, and with more success, than any other flat or diggings, either in this vicinity or elsewhere in the county. The flat has been known to be immensely rich, ever since the fall of the year, 1850, when the Pike Flat Company, was famed and in honor, of which, the flat was named “Pike.” The Pike Flat Company, embraced within the number of its originators the names of seve‘tal Grass Vallians, who were pioneers in mining, and earliest settlers of our village viz: Doctor Cleveland, Doctor Miller, Capt. Day, and others who are yet here, as interested in the future thrift and-prosperity of our village—as they have. been identified with its past settlement and growth. This company sunk the first shaft on the flat in the spring of ’52, to the bed rock, proved the richness of their claims, and then were compelled to quit working them, on account of the water. Owing to this difficulty, which could not yet be overcome, except by great expense and trouble, Miners were prevented from working on the flat, and its treasure was undisturbed up to this last spring. In February, the Grass Valley Race Company was formed, consisting of forty members, all of them practical and energetic Miner’s; this company was organized, not only to secure individually a ‘pile,’ but also to open the way, by means of which the entire flat could be drained and worked. The claim-holders on the flat and the Miners in this vicinity, granted to the Grass Valley Race Company, a strip of ground up through the flat, fifty feet wide; their ditch and tunnel, at an enormous expense, has been run up and completed to the distance of about one thousand feet, from its place of beginning. Notwithstanding the expense, the members have realized from the fifty-feet worked out, between $8 to $10 per day per man. The ditch and tunnel amply drains the claims on both sides of its course, making them workable, enriching the owner and rewarding the toiler with plenty. This company, with the enterprise that have always marked “them, have pur‘ased, a‘sieam engine, which is now midway pean ‘Graiging the ground, and enabjg them to work on their route at three difrent poiats a6 the sametime. I am inform_. by a member, that their prospects to the am, Tange from fifty cents to five dollars, ofteu exceeding even the last high tigure. cs} Sbares in the company, have increased in valne during the lapse of two months, over 500 per cent. The company merits not only the suctess which has rewarded their enterprising eCorts, but also the best wishes of a community which they are daily enriching. Wookpecker Company’s claims are located on ‘ie Sat, at (he peint where the Woodpecker rax makes (ato it; the company havea steam engine that is draining the ground, so that their forces can do well, both night and day. I cannot say how much of the ready they are making, but merely judging from the untiring zeal, they manifest in obtaining the hidden treasure, I guess, that they are satisfied and lucky. Woodpecker Ravine, is on the South side _ Of the flat, In ’52, this ravine was considered as rich, if not the richest ravine in the county. In that year, it yielded fortunes to claim-holders, and many an hombre at the close of the working season sold out, and returned to his ‘home,’ with that wealth, which he has reason to consider as peculiarly his “indemnity for the past and security for the future.” More Anon. Written for the Grass Valley Telegraph. Mr. Eprror, Dear Sir :—Will you be so kind as to allow me a small space in your interesting paper, to present to its readers an account of what some of the scholars of my School are doing? A few weeks since, a gentleman gave me some neatly bound books, as prizes for my school. I accordingly divided the school into three classes,—offering a book to the one of each class, whom should commit in three weeks the largest number of verses from the Scriptures. Last Sabbath, the prizes were awarded as follows : The first to Matilda Wood, (aged 12 years,) who committed 2289 verses. The second to Henry Wait, who committed 103 verses. And the third to Sarah George, who com~ mitted 38 verses. Sarah Foster who is about the age of Matilda Wood, committed 2067 verses. Now, sir, where can this be beaten? If there be a boy or girl within the range of your acquaintance that can do it, I want you to sit up Zate, one of these nights, that you may find time the next day, to take me round and introduce me to him, or her, for it would do my eyes good to look upon such an one. There are other children of the school who might be favorably noticed, but I guess my little corner is about full. Yours truly, Joun C, Srumons. Written for the Grass Valley Telegraph. (MY AUGEREL TOO.) Mr. Eprror:—I is not much use to write for a nusepaper, for I was raised out in the woods or, rather come up the way I went, and if I make any stakes, they wont be ha staks. Tu My ConsTITUENTS. It would seem by the dgural of college that no body else in all the State of Grass Vally was lected Skule Kummishiner but his own dear self, any body would spose so by refference to it in the Ist No. of the Telegraph, but I would let the dear people now that there was tu other Skule Kummishnurs pinted as well as he, and by a big majority tu. Talk of Gov. Bigler or Waldo getting the . majority I did in Grass Vally, it is-no use, . fur I got tw majority over evrypthing, and . they did’nt get any majority. If Ihad been candidate fur Governor, I should bin lected sure without stump speeches or bloudy noses, and I would ruled the pe. ple in the way they went for all the Legislater Lowyers, Doctors or any body. I wud had the water lots sold tu paid the skule det, and if they would’nt, I would let um done just as they was a mind tu, sol would suited um all any way and been shure of a re-election. (But I have wandered tu fur into the politishuns arena, I think they call it) and wud return to my college, he might rote the dugural tu answer for all of us, but as he didn’t, I thought I must rite mine, or I shud be no wheres for office agin; he had’nt half the charity for his colleges in office that tho’ old man and woman had one or tuther of ’em was lected coperel of a malicia cumpinny, and after retiring to feed, they got talking over the grate onners they had got, and how they must dress up &c., as they shud be loked . up to now with their new oners, and sum of ' the little hopeful consequents of matrimony, ' lying in the little thing they pull out from ‘under the bed called drundle bed I think, any way. it has little wheles on it, says marmy, aint we corperels tu? no, says she, li still, there is no body corperals but your Dad and . I, and my college appears not to be as charitable as that with his nu oners. Iseed in the nusepaper that they lected Skule Kumishners in Marysville, way out west, among the rutes or krutes, or any way, it issum where; and Lee & Marshal, them Tellers Wat ride horses round in a string got up a benefit for the Skule Kumisheners to be appropriated to Skules and raised $400, and nobody noes but sum body or sum clever feller will git up a benefit forus here, and we shall be able tu get up a lot of skules, and from appearances, there is and will be need enough of them for the growing generation. The skule masters hav begun to cum on, and we hav got one or tue at work ready, and aint we smart so sune. But this is only a prelude tu what we shall du, for it will be dun up brown. And now Boys and Gals from me take warning, To go tu skule and get your larnen : If you dont cum up and dont go tu skule, You may turn out a nave or a fule. As the skule master iscum and the skule has got running, the licks will be wurked in this week, and I think Grass Valley is ina prospurus condition; for we have got the printed Telegraph running and the lightning line up, and will soon be in motion ; can’t we then beet all creation here and part of York State. And then we are remarkably fleet with churches here. I heard of one place that had three churches, and they did not any of them go, but itis notso here with us. We hav three, and two of them runs every Sunday, and the new one will be running in three weeks. The Masonik Hall now goes in its stead till that is done—at half past ten o’clock every Sabbath morning, Finely, my dear friends, accept my best regards for the honour bestowed, and for your welfare and future posterity.

Pactric RatLRoap Country ConvENMION.— Agreeably to the call, numerously signed by the citizens of Nevada county, a Convention was held this day, at the Dramatic Hall, Nevada City, at which a very respectable number of people attended.

THE TWO ISTHMUSES. One of the most graphic naratives we have ever seen of the “experience” of crossing the Isthmus of Panama, is published in the Times and Transcript of the 23d inst., from the pen of Mangrve,—a lady well and favorably kuown to the public of California as a piquant writer. Her story is one which will be read with interest and give to all who propose traveling by Panama, a foretaste of the pleasures in store for them on that route. Madeline writes in reply to some strictures of the Panama Herald: and we have room but for an extract: Now Mr. Herald has given me the chance, I will say a few words about my Panamatrip, last September, and all the joys, comforts and courtesies. extended to me in this city. — Long before I reached Panama it was thought by all I would have been food for the monsters of the deep; but I was carried ashore, and up to a Hotel, more dead than alive, not being able to speak or understand the language employed by those around me, as well as that of Dr. Dudley, the American physicians, who spoke Spanish to all but myself. I was informed I could not be allowed to stay there, but must go to his hospital, which he represented as being almost a Paradise. The name of hospital sounded to me far worse than coffin shd grave, but thither I was borne. An old hulk of a ship outside of the walls was the hospital. The gentlemau who had proved more than a brother in these trying days was compelled to goonhome. After getting his mule he came to bid me farewell. I burst into tears, and told him I should diea maniac if left there. He went back, got an interpreter, and ascertained that I could have a room at $7 per day, at the same hotel from which I had been brought. I returned; Dr. D. stating on the way it should cost me $2 per day, whereas the hospital would have been gratis. The second day I refused to take any more medicine from him, when he presented his bill of $20 instead of $4, knowing that I was in a foreign land very low, and for all he knew with but little means. Totella tithe of what I endured for ten days, pleading for some nourishment, amid mosquitoes. heat and dirt, would be impossible. Durifig the first seven days, a kind elderly French M. D., attended me ; his charge was only $14—saying you will perhaps need all the means you have; when you get home and well, remit it. I paid it with a large interest of gratitude, and am glad to cite it as one redeeming virtue of Panama. I am sorry I forgot his name.— Mind, Mr. Herald I bore a letter of introduction to your American Hotel, so puffed in your paper, and yet could not be admitted nor even called upon by one of the house.— But this is not all. A noble friend, of this place, (since dead) handed me among numerous letters to the East, one to the American Consul at Panama, bespeaking every attention, telling why and wherefore. He having just given a prrmitfor my entrance into Dudley’s Paradise, asking if I were an object of charity. Far from it, replied an indignant Tenneseean ; but I presume he thought he might be compelled to bury me, so he courteously staid away. But a Californian, on the next steamer resolved to take me across the Isthmus. I got him to buy a hammock and hire four natives, and a mule to take my baggage, and I bid a lasting farewell to Panama—hard-hearted people—starvation, swindlers and all. Iwill merely glance at the moderate sum of $30 paid the agent, for the transportation of one trunk—of its being thrown. in a mud hole, and the $15 extra to get it to Cruces. Iwill only tell of another lady, at the same time, who had paid $80 to the agent to be taken over, besides baggage; that after taking her three ‘miles she was sat down in the hammock, the native refusing to go until paid $40 more, as the agent had only given them $20 out of the $80. Here the attendant rode back, saw the agent, explained matters, and demanded hisrights. The agent assured him the.hombre should proceed— dashed out to get his mule to accompany him, and has not got back as yet. Here the sick lady had to go back, or ride a mule at the risk of her life ; she chose the latter, and passed me almost fainting with fatigue. I need not remind him of the constant loss of baggage, as well as robberies. on this route. But, perhaps, he will like to have my views on Navy Bay. I was so annoyed with mosquitoes on the Nicaragua river that I dubbed ‘a certain spot mosquito manufactory which Mr. Herald notices with glee: but Navy Bay is miasma manufactory, the hot sun beaming down on decayed matter, the green skum standing on the stagnant waters under houses, at the doors and all over the place. Mosquitoes, &c., are some of the joys to be felt : every breeze that springs up is choked with miasma so that Pn fancy you are in a chandler’s house, and you tremble lest the next moment you are stricken with the plague, or dashed into a box and: hurried to Monkey Hill, that. very classical name of their cemetery. — advise all who come this way,.to embalm themselves in garlic, ammonia, camhor, or something else, of troubling Tanidioes about blankets and food. As to the mud, horrid road, and half dead mules to ride from Cruces to Panama, (to say nothing of beans to eat and whisky to drink,) these are beginning tobe understood. Mr. Herald need not comment so graphically, poetically, and beautifully upon my sore arm, ugly frowns, or ill temper, for as ill as I was, I heard more oaths, more beating of beasts, and saw more people waist-deep in mud, than was ever dreamed of by any person who has not traveled this road. As a poor black-man while wading through the mud, exclaimed— “My Lord, dis beats all de Elephants!” so we all thought. I will now bid farewell to Panama, and cross over to Nicaragua. Who would not rather risk land crabs, mosquitoes, riding a native, paying a dollar for a loaf of bread, or even crawl on hands and knees over the twelve miles of fine road, than to behold one victim of Panama fever, much less be the subject ; who would not prefer to inhale the fragrance from the rich flowers and spicy woods in crossing this romantic road, or to pay the fifteen cents for the transit of baggage, of which a pound is never lost, (though the Herald did not quote me in this,) to snuffing the seeds of this fever, which is ten times more to be dreaded than the yellow. Every long journey has its privations and hardships, and may be incident to dangers, but let any unbiased mind run up the deaths on the two routes in question and say which has the majority. As for the steamer Brother Jonathan, she ran ahead of the mail until a few hours before landing; a fog sprung up, Capt. B. deemed prudence a virtue, and put back, intending to make the entrance in daylight, thereby allowing the mail to land one whole hour before us, which awfully surprised Madeline, so Mr. Herald informs us.” GETTING MARRIED. The following is the way “they do things up” in Wisconsin. During last summer, a little incident transpired in one of the Eastern towns which afforded some amusement at the time, and furnished food for a considerable gossip thereafter. It occurred in Church on one of those quiet Sunday afternoons, whon all the world seems just ready to fall asleep; when the flies buzz lazily on the door stone. The afternoon service had ended, and the congregation had arranged themselves for the benediction, when to the great astonishment and manifest interest of the worshippers, the person descended from the pulpit to the desk below, and said in a calm clear voice: “Those who wish to be united in the huly bonds of matrimony will now please to step forward.” A deep silence instantly fell over the congregation, brokan only by therustling of silk as some pretty little gir) or excited ‘matron changed her position, to catch her first view of the couple to be married. No one, however, arose, or seemed the least inclined to arise. Whereupon, the worthy clergyman, deeming his first notice unheard or misunderstood, repeated the invitation more clear“‘Let those persons wishing to be united in the holy bonds of matrimony now come forward.”’ Still no one stirred. The silence became almost audible and a painful sense of the awkwardness of the position was gradually spreading among those present when a young gentleman who had occupied a vacant slip in the broad aisle during service, slowly arose and deliberately walked to the foot of the altar. He was good looking and well dressed, but no one knew him. and no female accompanied his travels. When arrived within a respectable distance of the clergyman, he paused, and with a reverent bow he stepped to one side of the aisle, but neither said anything or seemed at . all disconcerted, at the idea of being married alone. “ The lady, sir, is dilatory.”’ “Very sir.” “Had we not better defer the ceremony ?”” “T think not.” “Do you think she will be here soon ?”” “Me, sir,’ said the astonished shepherd, “how should I know of your lady’s moveacre That is a matter belonging to yourself. A few moments were now suffered to elapse in this unpleasant state of expectancy when the clergyman renewed his interogatories. “Did the lady promise to attend at the present hour, sir ?”’ “What lady?” asked the young gentleman. “Why the lady, to be sure, waiting here for.” “TI did not hear her say anything about it.” “Then, sir, may i ask why you are here and for what purpose you thus trifle in the scnctuary of the Most High?’ said the angered clerical. “I came, sir, simply because you invited all those wishing to be united in matrimony to step forward, and I happened to entertain such a wish! Iam sorry to have misunderstood you, sir, and wish you a very good day.’” _ The benediction was uttered with a solemniey of tone very little in accordance with the twitching of the facial nerves; and when after the church was closed, the story got wind among the congregation, more than one little girl regretted that her wish had not been as boldly expressed as the young gentleman’s, who had really “ wished to be united in the holy bonds of matrimony.’ pO ah 62 sere: Seal J A touching tale of the heart was related to us yesterday. A little child entered a picture store where hung a newly framed portrait of one of our most respected citizens, who recently departed for the golden Jand. The gentleman attending asked the tiny visitor what he should have the pleasure of ye her, “N othing, sir,” gravely replied the child. “TI did not come to buy, but to look at my papa.” — Buff.

PIKE FLAT. = Mr. Eprror :—Within the last six months, the flat East of our village, extending from the bridge across Wolf-Creek, at Winchester’s Mill, up to McClintock’s house, a distance of a mile and one half, and varying from a quarter toa half mile wide, has been worked to a greater extent, and with more success, than any other flat or diggings, either in this vicinity or elsewhere in the county. The flat has been known to be immensely rich, ever since the fall of the year, 1850, when the Pike Flat Company, was famed and in honor, of which, the flat was named “Pike.” The Pike Flat Company, embraced within the number of its originators the names of seve‘tal Grass Vallians, who were pioneers in mining, and earliest settlers of our village viz: Doctor Cleveland, Doctor Miller, Capt. Day, and others who are yet here, as interested in the future thrift and-prosperity of our village—as they have. been identified with its past settlement and growth. This company sunk the first shaft on the flat in the spring of ’52, to the bed rock, proved the richness of their claims, and then were compelled to quit working them, on account of the water. Owing to this difficulty, which could not yet be overcome, except by great expense and trouble, Miners were prevented from working on the flat, and its treasure was undisturbed up to this last spring. In February, the Grass Valley Race Company was formed, consisting of forty members, all of them practical and energetic Miner’s; this company was organized, not only to secure individually a ‘pile,’ but also to open the way, by means of which the entire flat could be drained and worked. The claim-holders on the flat and the Miners in this vicinity, granted to the Grass Valley Race Company, a strip of ground up through the flat, fifty feet wide; their ditch and tunnel, at an enormous expense, has been run up and completed to the distance of about one thousand feet, from its place of beginning.

Written for the Grass Valley Telegraph. Mr. Eprror, Dear Sir :—Will you be so kind as to allow me a small space in your interesting paper, to present to its readers an account of what some of the scholars of my School are doing? A few weeks since, a gentleman gave me some neatly bound books, as prizes for my school. I accordingly divided the school into three classes,—offering a book to the one of each class, whom should commit in three weeks the largest number of verses from the Scriptures. Last Sabbath, the prizes were awarded as follows : The first to Matilda Wood, (aged 12 years,) who committed 2289 verses. The second to Henry Wait, who committed 103 verses. And the third to Sarah George, who com~ mitted 38 verses. Sarah Foster who is about the age of Matilda Wood, committed 2067 verses. Now, sir, where can this be beaten? If there be a boy or girl within the range of your acquaintance that can do it, I want you to sit up Zate, one of these nights, that you may find time the next day, to take me round and introduce me to him, or her, for it would do my eyes good to look upon such an one. There are other children of the school who might be favorably noticed, but I guess my little corner is about full. Yours truly, Joun C, Srumons. Written for the Grass Valley Telegraph.

Tu My ConsTITUENTS. It would seem by the dgural of college that no body else in all the State of Grass Vally was lected Skule Kummishiner but his own dear self, any body would spose so by refference to it in the Ist No. of the Telegraph, but I would let the dear people now that there was tu other Skule Kummishnurs pinted as well as he, and by a big majority tu. Talk of Gov. Bigler or Waldo getting the . majority I did in Grass Vally, it is-no use, . fur I got tw majority over evrypthing, and . they did’nt get any majority. If Ihad been candidate fur Governor, I should bin lected sure without stump speeches or bloudy noses, and I would ruled the pe. ple in the way they went for all the Legislater Lowyers, Doctors or any body. I wud had the water lots sold tu paid the skule det, and if they would’nt, I would let um done just as they was a mind tu, sol would suited um all any way and been shure of a re-election.

Iseed in the nusepaper that they lected Skule Kumishners in Marysville, way out west, among the rutes or krutes, or any way, it issum where; and Lee & Marshal, them Tellers Wat ride horses round in a string got up a benefit for the Skule Kumisheners to be appropriated to Skules and raised $400, and nobody noes but sum body or sum clever feller will git up a benefit forus here, and we shall be able tu get up a lot of skules, and from appearances, there is and will be need enough of them for the growing generation. The skule masters hav begun to cum on, and we hav got one or tue at work ready, and aint we smart so sune. But this is only a prelude tu what we shall du, for it will be dun up brown. And now Boys and Gals from me take warning, To go tu skule and get your larnen : If you dont cum up and dont go tu skule, You may turn out a nave or a fule. As the skule master iscum and the skule has got running, the licks will be wurked in this week, and I think Grass Valley is ina prospurus condition; for we have got the printed Telegraph running and the lightning line up, and will soon be in motion ; can’t we then beet all creation here and part of York State. And then we are remarkably fleet with churches here. I heard of one place that had three churches, and they did not any of them go, but itis notso here with us. We hav three, and two of them runs every Sunday, and the new one will be running in three weeks. The Masonik Hall now goes in its stead till that is done—at half past ten o’clock every Sabbath morning, Finely, my dear friends, accept my best regards for the honour bestowed, and for your welfare and future posterity.

THE TWO ISTHMUSES. One of the most graphic naratives we have ever seen of the “experience” of crossing the Isthmus of Panama, is published in the Times and Transcript of the 23d inst., from the pen of Mangrve,—a lady well and favorably kuown to the public of California as a piquant writer. Her story is one which will be read with interest and give to all who propose traveling by Panama, a foretaste of the pleasures in store for them on that route. Madeline writes in reply to some strictures of the Panama Herald: and we have room but for an extract: Now Mr. Herald has given me the chance, I will say a few words about my Panamatrip, last September, and all the joys, comforts and courtesies. extended to me in this city. — Long before I reached Panama it was thought by all I would have been food for the monsters of the deep; but I was carried ashore, and up to a Hotel, more dead than alive, not being able to speak or understand the language employed by those around me, as well as that of Dr. Dudley, the American physicians, who spoke Spanish to all but myself. I was informed I could not be allowed to stay there, but must go to his hospital, which he represented as being almost a Paradise. The name of hospital sounded to me far worse than coffin shd grave, but thither I was borne. An old hulk of a ship outside of the walls was the hospital. The gentlemau who had proved more than a brother in these trying days was compelled to goonhome. After getting his mule he came to bid me farewell. I burst into tears, and told him I should diea maniac if left there. He went back, got an interpreter, and ascertained that I could have a room at $7 per day, at the same hotel from which I had been brought. I returned; Dr. D. stating on the way it should cost me $2 per day, whereas the hospital would have been gratis. The second day I refused to take any more medicine from him, when he presented his bill of $20 instead of $4, knowing that I was in a foreign land very low, and for all he knew with but little means. Totella tithe of what I endured for ten days, pleading for some nourishment, amid mosquitoes. heat and dirt, would be impossible. Durifig the first seven days, a kind elderly French M. D., attended me ; his charge was only $14—saying you will perhaps need all the means you have; when you get home and well, remit it. I paid it with a large interest of gratitude, and am glad to cite it as one redeeming virtue of Panama. I am sorry I forgot his name.— Mind, Mr. Herald I bore a letter of introduction to your American Hotel, so puffed in your paper, and yet could not be admitted nor even called upon by one of the house.— But this is not all. A noble friend, of this place, (since dead) handed me among numerous letters to the East, one to the American Consul at Panama, bespeaking every attention, telling why and wherefore. He having just given a prrmitfor my entrance into Dudley’s Paradise, asking if I were an object of charity. Far from it, replied an indignant Tenneseean ; but I presume he thought he might be compelled to bury me, so he courteously staid away. But a Californian, on the next steamer resolved to take me across the Isthmus. I got him to buy a hammock and hire four natives, and a mule to take my baggage, and I bid a lasting farewell to Panama—hard-hearted people—starvation, swindlers and all. Iwill merely glance at the moderate sum of $30 paid the agent, for the transportation of one trunk—of its being thrown. in a mud hole, and the $15 extra to get it to Cruces. Iwill only tell of another lady, at the same time, who had paid $80 to the agent to be taken over, besides baggage; that after taking her three ‘miles she was sat down in the hammock, the native refusing to go until paid $40 more, as the agent had only given them $20 out of the $80. Here the attendant rode back, saw the agent, explained matters, and demanded hisrights. The agent assured him the.hombre should proceed— dashed out to get his mule to accompany him, and has not got back as yet. Here the sick lady had to go back, or ride a mule at the risk of her life ; she chose the latter, and passed me almost fainting with fatigue. I need not remind him of the constant loss of baggage, as well as robberies. on this route. But, perhaps, he will like to have my views on Navy Bay. I was so annoyed with mosquitoes on the Nicaragua river that I dubbed ‘a certain spot mosquito manufactory which

Mr. Herald notices with glee: but Navy Bay is miasma manufactory, the hot sun beaming down on decayed matter, the green skum standing on the stagnant waters under houses, at the doors and all over the place. Mosquitoes, &c., are some of the joys to be felt : every breeze that springs up is choked with miasma so that Pn fancy you are in a chandler’s house, and you tremble lest the next moment you are stricken with the plague, or dashed into a box and: hurried to Monkey Hill, that. very classical name of their cemetery. — advise all who come this way,.to embalm themselves in garlic, ammonia, camhor, or something else, of troubling Tanidioes about blankets and food. As to the mud, horrid road, and half dead mules to ride from Cruces to Panama, (to say nothing of beans to eat and whisky to drink,) these are beginning tobe understood. Mr. Herald need not comment so graphically, poetically, and beautifully upon my sore arm, ugly frowns, or ill temper, for as ill as I was, I heard more oaths, more beating of beasts, and saw more people waist-deep in mud, than was ever dreamed of by any person who has not traveled this road. As a poor black-man while wading through the mud, exclaimed— “My Lord, dis beats all de Elephants!” so we all thought. I will now bid farewell to Panama, and cross over to Nicaragua. Who would not rather risk land crabs, mosquitoes, riding a native, paying a dollar for a loaf of bread, or even crawl on hands and knees over the twelve miles of fine road, than to behold one victim of Panama fever, much less be the subject ; who would not prefer to inhale the fragrance from the rich flowers and spicy woods in crossing this romantic road, or to pay the fifteen cents for the transit of baggage, of which a pound is never lost, (though the Herald did not quote me in this,) to snuffing the seeds of this fever, which is ten times more to be dreaded than the yellow. Every long journey has its privations and hardships, and may be incident to dangers, but let any unbiased mind run up the deaths on the two routes in question and say which has the majority. As for the steamer Brother Jonathan, she ran ahead of the mail until a few hours before landing; a fog sprung up, Capt. B. deemed prudence a virtue, and put back, intending to make the entrance in daylight, thereby allowing the mail to land one whole hour before us, which awfully surprised Madeline, so Mr. Herald informs us.” GETTING MARRIED. The following is the way “they do things up” in Wisconsin. During last summer, a little incident transpired in one of the Eastern towns which afforded some amusement at the time, and furnished food for a considerable gossip thereafter. It occurred in Church on one of those quiet Sunday afternoons, whon all the world seems just ready to fall asleep; when the flies buzz lazily on the door stone. The afternoon service had ended, and the congregation had arranged themselves for the benediction, when to the great astonishment and manifest interest of the worshippers, the person descended from the pulpit to the desk below, and said in a calm clear voice: “Those who wish to be united in the huly bonds of matrimony will now please to step forward.” A deep silence instantly fell over the congregation, brokan only by therustling of silk as some pretty little gir) or excited ‘matron changed her position, to catch her first view of the couple to be married. No one, however, arose, or seemed the least inclined to arise. Whereupon, the worthy clergyman, deeming his first notice unheard or misunderstood, repeated the invitation more clear“‘Let those persons wishing to be united in the holy bonds of matrimony now come forward.”’ Still no one stirred. The silence became almost audible and a painful sense of the awkwardness of the position was gradually spreading among those present when a young gentleman who had occupied a vacant slip in the broad aisle during service, slowly arose and deliberately walked to the foot of the altar. He was good looking and well dressed, but no one knew him. and no female accompanied his travels. When arrived within a respectable distance of the clergyman, he paused, and with a reverent bow he stepped to one side of the aisle, but neither said anything or seemed at . all disconcerted, at the idea of being married alone. “ The lady, sir, is dilatory.”’ “Very sir.” “Had we not better defer the ceremony ?”” “T think not.” “Do you think she will be here soon ?”” “Me, sir,’ said the astonished shepherd, “how should I know of your lady’s moveacre That is a matter belonging to yourself. A few moments were now suffered to elapse in this unpleasant state of expectancy when the clergyman renewed his interogatories. “Did the lady promise to attend at the present hour, sir ?”’ “What lady?” asked the young gentleman. “Why the lady, to be sure, waiting here for.” “TI did not hear her say anything about it.” “Then, sir, may i ask why you are here and for what purpose you thus trifle in the scnctuary of the Most High?’ said the angered clerical. “I came, sir, simply because you invited all those wishing to be united in matrimony to step forward, and I happened to entertain such a wish! Iam sorry to have misunderstood you, sir, and wish you a very good day.’” _ The benediction was uttered with a solemniey of tone very little in accordance with the twitching of the facial nerves; and when after the church was closed, the story got wind among the congregation, more than one little girl regretted that her wish had not been as boldly expressed as the young gentleman’s, who had really “ wished to be united in the holy bonds of matrimony.’ pO ah 62 sere: Seal J A touching tale of the heart was related to us yesterday. A little child entered a picture store where hung a newly framed portrait of one of our most respected citizens, who recently departed for the golden Jand. The gentleman attending asked the tiny visitor what he should have the pleasure of ye her, “N othing, sir,” gravely replied the child. “TI did not come to buy, but to look at my papa.” — Buff.
