Here may be seen a bed and other appurtenances essential to house keeping;—and here, we are informed, dwells a young man and his young, amb‘tious wife. He conceived a project ofmiuing out a~portion of Auburn ravine, and for that purpose found it more convenient to leave his home on 6 small farm some miles out in thie country and eat and sleep near the scene of hig labors. She, with the epirit of a true heroine, determined to. accompatty him, declaring that she could live where he could live, and that his troubles should be her troubles aud his joys should be her joys, He made known to her that he would have to camp out, when she declared, ‘then I will camp out also,’’ and thus they are camping out, and have been, we understand, for some three or four weeks, even during stormy weather, refusing to desert their camp fora more congenial shelter.
