A decoc¬ tion of tbe dried wild or hor^e luiul, which we louuil abund.iiii under the suow, was quite palatable, and answered iasteail of coflee. It dries np in that climate, but lioes not loae its flavor. We suffered greatly for the want of salt; bul, by buruiuji lhe ontside of onr mule riteak::, and sprinkling a Httle gaupow- der npou tbt^in, it did uot require a very eKten:ilvH stretch of iiuaginatinu to faucy tbe preseuce of both salt aud pepper. We tried tbe meat of bori^e, colt, and males, all of which were in a starved condition, aud of conrse not very tender, juicy, or nutritioua. We consumed the enormous amount of from five to six pounds of this meat per man daily, but coutiuued to grow weak and thin, until, at the expiration of twelve days, we were able to perform but little labor, and were con¬ tinually craving for fat meat.
Should a party traveUing with pack ani mals, and without ambulances or wagons, have one of its members wounded or taken BO eick as to be unable to walk or ride on horseback, a litter may me constructed by taking two poles abont twenty feet in length , uniting them by two sticks three feet long lasbed across tbe centre at six feet apart, and stretching a piece of stout canvas, a blanket, or hide between them to form a bed. Two steady horses or mules are then selected, placed beiween the front and rear of the Utter, and the euds of tbe poles made fast to the sides ot the auimi'.l?, i-itiier by attachment to the stirrups or to the ends of straps secared over their backer. The patieut may theu be placed npon the litter, and is ready for the marcb. Tbe elasticity of the long pole.=? gives an easy moiiuu to thocouveyauce, and makes this method of locomotion much more com¬ fortable tban might be supposed.
The prairi.* Indiaus have a way of trans¬ porting tbeir .Tick aud childreu, upon a litter very similar iu construction to tbe one just describfd, excepting that oue auimal is used instead vi two. Oue eud of tbe Utter is raade fast to the sideB of the animal, while the otlier eud is left to trail upnu the ground. A projection is raised for tha fee", to rest against and prereut tbe patient from slidiug down.— Instead i)f canvas, tbe Indians sometimes lash a litrge wiUow basket acro-fs thu polt-s, in wbich they place tbe person to be trans ported. Tbe animals barnassed to the litter innst be carefully conducted npou the march aud cuutiiin u^ed upou the rough aud brokeu gronud.
A Very couvenieut and comfortable method of packing a sick or wounded man n-heu there are no aniuLils dispo.=:able, and wliich is some¬ times resortod lu by the ludiaus, is to take two small pole.< about tnn feet long, and lash tbrfc crnss-pieces to tbem, oue in tb»j ceutre, aud tbe othtr two ahont eiitbteeu iucbea from tbe ends. A blank«t or bide is then secured firmly to tbis franie, aud the patient placed upou il under the centre eross-pii*ce, wbich prevents him from falling out. Two men act as earlier-;, walking brtween the eads of his long poles. Tiiu paiittut may be protected agaiust tbe rain nr suu by beudiug small willows ou the frame and covering them with .1 clolh.
Wilh a traiu of pack auimals properly organized and equipped, a party may travel witii mnch comfort and celerity. It is enaliled to take short cuts, aud move over tbecountry in .-iltno.st any direcliou witbout regard to roads, itlouniaius and brokeu grouml may easily be travert:t:d, .iud exemption is gained from many of tlm troubles and deteniioua atteudaut upou the transit of cumbersome wagou-traius.
One of the most essential requisites to the outfit uf a pack iraiu is a good pack-saddle Various paiiern.s are iu use, many of which are nat:r« iustruinenls of torture upon the backs of the poor brutes, lacerating them cruelly, aud causing coutiuued pain.
The Mexicans uru -t. leathern pack-saddle without a tree, ll is stuffed wilh hay, and is very large, coveriug almost the entire back, aud exteuding far dowu the sideB. It is secured with a broad hair-girth, and the load is kept iu positiou by a lasb-rupe drawn by two men so tight as to give the nufortunate beast iuteuse sulfering.
Ko pi^ople, probably, are more familiar with the ari of packing than lbe IVIcsicans. They uuiieretand tbe babils, dispciitiou, and pow¬ ers of the mule perfectly, and will get more work out of him than auy other men I have ever seen. The mule and the donkey are to them as the camel to the Arab—their por¬ ters over deserts and moantains where no other means of transportation oau be used to advantage. The Spanish Mexicans, are, how¬ ever, cruel masters, haviug uo mercy npon their beasts, and it is no nncommon thing for them to load their mules wilh the enor- moas burden of three or four hundre'd ponnds. These muleteers belelva that, when the
pack fs firmly lashed, the animal support? his burdeu^bt'tter and travela with greater ease, which aeems quite probable, as the ten siou forms, as il were, an external sheath supporting and bracing the musoles. It also has a teudency to prevent the naddle from slipping and chafing the mule's back. With auch huge cargas as the Mexicans load upon their mnles, it is imposaible, by auy precau¬ tions, to preveut tbeir backs and withers from becoming horribly mangled, and it is common to see them workiug their aninialsi day after day,Jn thia miserable plight. This heavy packing causes the scars that so often mark Mexioan mnlea.
The animal, in startiug out from the camp in the morning, groaning under the weight of his heavy burden, seems hardly able to move; bal the pack soou settles, and so loosens tbe lashings that after a sbort time he moves along with more ease. Conatant care and vigilance on the part of the muleteers are necessary to prevent the packs from working loose and falling off. The adjustment of a carga upon a mule does not, however, detain the caravan, as the others move on as itis being righted. If the mules are snffered to halt, they are apt to lie down, aud it is very difficult for them, with their loads, to rise; besidea, they are likely to straiu' themselves in their efforta to do so. The Mexicans, in travelling with large caravans, nsnally make tbe day's march withoat nooning, as too mncb time wonld be consumed iu unloading and packing np agaiu.
Packs, wheu taken off iu camp, should be piled in a row upon-the ground, and if there be a prospect of rain, the ;£addles sbould be placed over them, the whole covered with the saddle-blankets, or canvaa.
The muleteers' and herders should be mounted upon well-trained horses, and be oarefal to keep the animals of the caravan from wauderiug or scattering along the ro<td. This can easily be.done by having some of the meu riding upon each side, aud others in the rear.;of the caravan.
In herding mnles it is customary among prairie travelers to have a bell-mare, to wbich the mules soou become so attached that tbey will follow ber wherever she goes. By keep¬ iug her in charge of oue of the herdsmen, the herds are eaaily controlled ; and during a stampede, if the herdsmen monnls her, and rashes ahead toward the camp, they will geu¬ erally follow.
In crossing rirera tbe bell-mare shoald pass first, after which the mules are easily iuduced to tiike to tbe waiter aud pass over, eveu if thoy have to swim. Mules are good swimmers nnless they happen, by plunging offa high bank, to get water iu their ears, when tbey are ofteu drowned. Whenever a mule in the water drops his ears, it isa snre indication that he has water in them, and he shoald be takeu out as soou aa pos¬ sible. To preveut accidents of this natnre, where the water is deep aud the bank abrupt tbe mule herds i^hould be allowed to enter slowly, and without crowding, as otherwiae they are nol ouly Ukely to get tbeir heads nnder water bnt to throw^ each other over and get injured.
The madrina, or boU-mftre, acts a most im¬ portant part in a herdof mules, aud is regard-- ed by experienced campaigners aa indispen¬ sable to their security. She is selected for ber quiet aud regular habits. She will uot wander far from the camp. If she happen to have a colt by her aide, this is no objection, as tbe mules soon form tbe most devoted at¬ tachment to it. I have often seen them leave their grazing when very hungry, and flock arotmd a small colt, manifesting their deUght by rubbing it with their noses, licking it with their tongues, kicking up their heela, and making a variely of otber grotesque demon¬ strations of affection, while .the poor little colt, perfectly unconsciona of the cause of these ungainly caresses, stood trembling with fear, bnt unable to make his escape from his mulish admirers. Horaes aud assea are also used as beU-animala, and the males soon be¬ come accustomed to following them. Ifa man leads or rides a bell animal in advance, the mules follow, like so many dogs, in the most orderly procession.
"After travelling about fourteen miles," says Bayard Taylor, "we were joined by three miners, aud our mules taking a sudden liking for their borsea, jogged ou at at a more brisk pace. The instincts of the mnUsh heart form an interesting study to tho traveller in the monntaina. I wonld (were the compar¬ iaon not too unc^Uaul) liken it to a wo man'a, for it is quite as nncertain iu its sym¬ pathies, bt^siowing its afflictions wheu least expected, and when bestowed, quite as con¬ stant, so long as the object is not taken away. Sometimes a borse, sometimes au ass, capti¬ vates the fancy of a whole drove of mules, but often an animal nowise akin. Lieatenant Beale told me that his whole train of mules galloped off suddenly, on the plains of Cima- rone, and ran half a mile wheu they halted in apparent satistacliou. The cau.'ie of their freak waa found to be a buffalo calf which had strayed from the herd. They were frisk¬ ing around it in the greatest delight, rubbing tbeir nosea against it, throwing up their heels and making themselves ridiculous by abor¬ tive attempts to neigh and bray, while the calf, unconscious of its attnictive qualities, stood trembling in their midst." . " ff several large troops," says Charles Dar¬ win, " are turned into one field to graze in the morning, the muleteer has only to lead the TTiadrtnar alittle apart and tinkle their bells, and allhongh there may be 200 or 300 mnles^ogetber, each immediately kuows its own bell, and separates itself from the rest.— The affection of these auimals for the madri¬ na saves iufiuite trouble. It ia uearly impoa¬ sible to lose au old male, for if detained sev¬ eral honrs by force, ahe will by the power of smt-'ll, like a dog trace out her companions, or rather the madrina; for according to the muleteer, she is the chief object of affeotion. Tbe feeling, however, is not of an individnal uature, for I bellHve I am rigbt in saying that any animal with a bell will serve as a lua- driua.
Ofthe attaohment tb.tt a mule wil! form for ahorse, I wil! cite an instance from my own obaervation, which struck me at the i time as being one of -the most remarkable aud touching evidences of devotion that I have knowu among the brute creation.
On leaving Kort Leavenworth with the army for Ulah in 1S57, one ofthe officers rode a small mule, whose kind and gentle dispo¬ sitiou soon cansed him to become a favorite among the soldiers, a-id they uamed him '• Billy." As tbis oflicer and myself were often thrown together npnn the march, the mule, iu the course of a few days, evinced a a growiug attachment for a mare that I rode. The sentiment, however, was uol reciproca¬ ted on her part, and ahe intimated as much by the reverse position of Ler ears, and the free exercise of her feet aud teeth whenever Billy came within her reach ; but these sig¬ nal marks of displeasure, instead of discour¬ aging, rather seemed to increaae his devotion and whenever at liberty he iuvariably songht to get near her, and appeared much distressed wbeu not permitted to follow her.
On leaving Camp Scott for New Mexico Biily was among the number aelected for tbe expedition. Daring tho march I was in the habit, when startiug ont of the camp in the moruing, of leading off the party, and direct¬ ing the packmen to hold the mule until I should get 80 far in advance with the mare that he could not see us ; bat the moment he waa released he would, in spite of all the efforts of the packers, start off al a most fn¬ rious pace and never stopped braying until he reached the mare'a side. Wo soou fonnd it impossible to keep him with the other mules, and he was finally permitted to have hia own* way.
In the course of time we enooantered tbe deep snows in the Rooky Mountains, where the animals could get no forage, and Billy in floinmoxi with the othsra at lengtb^ became
so we:ik and jaded that he was unable any longer to leave his pUce iu the caravan and brnak a trauk throngh the snow around to the front. He made freqneut attempts m tnru ont and force his way ahead, but after nnmerous unsuccesafnl efforts be wonld fall down exhaosted, and set up a most mourn¬ ful braying.
The other mulea ?oon begau to fall, aud to be Jeft, worn nut and famished, to die by tbe wayai'le ; It was uot, however, for aome time that Billy showed symptoms of becoming oue of the victims, uutil oue evening after our arrival at the carap I was informed that he had dropped down aud had bean left upou the road duriug the day. The meu all de¬ plored tbe 10:13 exceedingly, as hia devotion to the mare had toucheii tbeir kind hearts, and mauy expressions of sympathy were ut- ternd arouud their bivouac fires that evening. Muoh to our surprise, however, about 10 o'clock, just as we were about going to sleep, we heard a mule braying about half a mile to the rear upoa our trail. Sure euough, it proved to be Billy, who, after baving rested, had fol¬ lowed npon onr track and overtaken ns. As soon as he reached the side of the mare he l;iy down and seemed perfectly contented.
The next day I relieved him from his pack, and allowed him to rnu looae ; but during the march he gave out, and was abandoned to his fate, and this lime we certainly never expected to see him more. To our great as¬ tonishment, however, abont 12 o'olo'jk that night tbe souoroaa but uot very musical notes of Billy in the distance aroused ns from oar slumbers, aud again annouuced his ap¬ proach. In au instant the men were upon their feet, gave three hearty cheers, and rnshed out iu a body to meet and escort him iulo camp.
But tbls well-meant ovation elicited uo re¬ sponse from him. He came reeling and flouuderiug along throjjgh the deep snow perfectly regardless of these honors, pushing ad ide all those wbo occnpied the trail or in¬ terrupted his progress in the least, wandered about uutil he found the mare, dropped down by her side, aud remained until morniug.
When we re.sumed our march on the follow¬ iug day he made another desperate effort to proceed, but soou fell down exhausted, when we reluctautly abandoued him, aud saw him uo more.
Aias ! poor Billy I your constancy deaerved a better fate; yoa may, iudeed, be said to have been a victim to unrequited affeotion.
The articles to be transported shonld be made up into two packages of precisely eqnal weight, aud as uearly eqnal in bnlk as prac¬ ticable, otherwise they will sway the saddle over to one side, aud canse it to chafe the auimal's bnck.
The packages made, two ropes about six feet loug are fastened aronud the ends by a slip not, and if the packages contain corn or other articles that will shift about, small sticks should be placed between the sacks aud the ropes, which equaUzes the pressnre, and makes the packagea sung. The ropes are then looped at the euds, and made pre" cisely of the same length, so that the packs will baiauce and oome up well toward the top of the i^addle. Two men then, each taking a p;tck, go upuu ojiposite sides of the male tbat b.is been previoni^lysaddled, aud, raising the packs simuUaneously, place the loopa over tbe pomel and cautel settling them down iuto their places. The lashing strap is then thrown over the top, brought through the riugs npou each side, and drawn as tight at every turn as two men on the sidea can puli it, aud after having beeu carried back and forth diagonally acroas the packs as often tis' its leugth admits (generally three or foU|. times), it is made fast to oneof the riugs, aud secnrely tied in a slip-knot.
Tbe breast-strap and breeches muat not be buckled so close a? to chafe the skin ; the girth should be broad aud soft where it comea opposite the fore legs, to prevent cutting them. Leather girths shonld be wrapped with cloih or bound with soft material. The hair girth, beiug soft and elastic, is mnch better than leather.
The crupper should never he dispensed with iu a mountainous country but ii must be soft, rouud, and about au inch in diameter, where it comes in contaot with the tail, other¬ wise it will wonnd the animal in makiug long and abrupt descents.
In Norway they use a short round stick, aboat ten inches long, which passea under the tail, and from each eud of this a cord connects with the saddle.
Camp-kettles, tin ve33els,and other articles that will rattle aud be likely to frighten ani, mals, sbould be firmly lashed to the packs. When the packs work loose, the lash-strap should be uutied, aud a man npon each side draw it np agaiu and make it fast. When ropes are used for lashing, they may be tight¬ ened hy twistiug them with a short stiok aud making the stick fast.
Oue handred and twenty-five ponnds is a snfiiuieut 1o.id fora mule upon aloug journey. In travelling over a rocky conutry, and upou all long jonrneys, horsea and mules should be shod, to preveut their hoofs wearing out or breaking. The mountaineera contend that beasts travel belter wiihout shoeing, but I bave several times had occasion to regret the omission of this 'V&ry necessary precan- tion. A few extra shoes and nails, with a small hammer, will euabie travellers to keep their auimals shod.
In turning ont their animals to graze, it is well eiiher to keep the lariat ropes npou them with the ends trailing upou the groand, or lo hopple them, as uo corral can be made iuto wbioh they may be driven in order lo catch them. A very good way to catch an animal witiiont driving him into an inclosnre is for two men to take a loug rope and stretch it out the height of the animal's neck; some meu theu drive him slowly np against it, then one of the men with the rope rnns around the animal and back to the frout again, thus tak ing a turn with the rope arouud his ueck and holding him secure*
To prevent an auimal from kicking, take a fniked slick and make the forked part fast to the bridle-bit, liriuglng tbe two ends above the heiid, aud securing them there, leaving the part of the stick below the fork of suflBci. ent length lo reach uear the gronud when the animal's head is in its natnral ptkiition. He caunol kick up unless he lowers his head, aud the stick effectually presents that.
Tether ropea should be attached lo the neck of tbe animal soas not to slipaud choke himt and lhe picket-pius never be left on the ropes except wheu iu the groand, as, in the event of a stampede, they are very likely to swing aronud and injure the animals.
Mauy experienced travellers were formerly in the habit of secnring their animals with a strap or iron ring fastened around the fetlock of one fore fout, aud this attached to the tether-rope. This method holds the animal very securely to the picket-pin, but when the rope is first put on, and before he becomes accuatomed to it, he is liable to throw himself down and gel hurt: so that I think the plan of tethering by the neck or halter is the safest, and, ao far as I have obaerved, is now univer¬ sally practiced.
The nionutaiueHra and Indians seldom tether their auimals, but prefer the plan of hoppling, as this gives them the more latitude for raugiug and selectiug the choicest grass.

Excellent," aaid the gentlemau, "excel¬ lent. Here is the way that men are made. It is the everlasting ' I can't' that is dwarfing the energies of thonsauds upon thonsands all over the land. A feeble effort is made to overcome the difficnlty, and tbeu the arms fall wearily and the task is abaudoued."
I cau't ia a bad word, aud the man or wo¬ mau who has this word at their tongue's end whenever any trifling object presents itself, is sure to go plodding through the world as when they firat began, without auy more at the end of the journey than there was at the commencement. Never let your children hear you aay " I can't"—uever let them uae it, unless you would have them as drones upon society—a ourse, not a blessing. Raiher teach them that " there is no snch word as fail."
Learn them to be patient and persevere; to regard no impediment, aud strive to benefit themselves and their fellows by not knowing any snch word as "I can't."
In Kentncky, up among the " knobbs," there ia a region so rocky and rough tUat the people do the most of their hauling on a sort of eled; or, at best, can only use a frame moanted on wide block tracks sawed from a log. Lately a traveller, with a phaton hav¬ ing very small wheels iu front that turned under the carriage, by missing hia road, go* into this wild couutry. Making the best o his way through it, he was surprised to fiud that he was followed by a crowd of boys, who kept their eyes intently fixed on the running gear ofhis vehicle. The silence they main¬ tained, and the perseverance they mauifested in dogging our traveller, somewhat alarmed him, and stopping his horsa, he inquired why they were following him. The leader of the boys, an overgrown fellow, about seven feet high, replied: *'Why, dog-ou-it. Mister, we wantto see how far you'd get before your big wheels cotched the little ones."
A neighbor of miue missed corn from his gamer, and his suspicion rested upou a reck¬ less fellow named " Sam." The com was kept in achamberover the kitchen, adjoining the woodhouse, towards which the chamber was left opeu, and aoceaaible by a ladder. The victim of this midnight "theffery,'* as another neighbor calla it, determined lo sat¬ isfy himself concerning the identity of the thief, made a temporary bed upou the kitchen floor and' lay dowu to watoh. About the hoar when " churchyards yawn," he was aronsed from a partial slumber by the rattling of the ears overhead, when he anddenly called ont at the top of his voice—" Saml" "Hello I" responded the thief, taken entirely off .his guard by this sudden caU. "Dou't take more thau a bushel 1" " Theu I sball have to pour it out, for I've got two iu the bag already 1"
Some yeara ago, at a large barhaoue, gotten up in honor of a political trinmph, the dining table was adorned wilh a monster pound¬ cake, composed of saw-dust, aud suffioient flour, aud perhaps other things, to give it a proper consistency and color. The company, knowing that it was intended for show only, the oake was untouched dnriug the sumptu¬ ous feast. After the crowd had nearly all dispersed, and the table waa pretty well cleared of eatables, old Jimmy Jones, who had beeu delayed, arrived npon the grouud late and hungry. Seeing but little else, he pitched boldly and withoat ceremony into the big cake. He put a large slice iu his bosom, and with another iu his haud, started for home. Just as he had takeu his first bite, he waa met by a friend, who cried oat: " Halloo 1 Uncle Jimmy, what have you got there?" It'a ponnd-oake; but I believe it it wasn't for the name of the thing, I would as soon have a piece of good corn bread I"
Why, Mary, my dear, how is thia ; I find you silting here so comfortably with your husband ? You told me this morning you had quarrelled, and he had goue for a sailor." "I fatheri I told you nothing of the kind."— " Oh, non.'?ense! I am qnite sure you, said you had some words together." " Yes, father, and so we did. He asked me what o'clock it waa ; I said I didn't kuow; and so he left the houset saying he was going to see ! That'a all I told yon."
Let us give a specimen of the grammar in which the " Rev. M. Smithsou " (a traveling Westeru preacher) described the departure of a saint:—"WhenI arrove at the hoose of my deaconed friend, he waa perspiring hia last. I stood by his bedside, and said, as he was to far gone to talk, 'Brother, if you feel happy now, jist squeeze my baud,' and he sqUQze il,"
Pa," said a precocious juvenile, who had been taken to aee the panlomine, "cau yon teU me why they alwaya bnru red firw at the eud of a Christmas piece?" "No, my boy I cau't," replied the tuduigent pareut, I can, then," said, with a grin, the youngster, who had just won the prize iu hia French class. "They want us to go away with the impress¬ ion that everylhing is couloar de rose /"
The Roman matron who when aaked to display h<»r treasures, brought forward ber sons, aayiug, "These are my jewels," haa been the conatant theme of admiration on account of her modeaty, no less than her materntd affeotion.
