Pleasant Memories.
We met beside the dear old home
Of Childhood’s happy days—
The birds still sing their vcspcr songs
Where sunlight softly plays ;
0 We watch the dusky twilight fall
Adown the grassy lane,
And wondes why we hear no shout
Of childish glee again.
We stand beside the cottage door,
Where we stood years ago,
The bloom of youth upon the lip
It; seal upon the brow;
Tue rose still wears its blushing
Tao emerald decks the lea,
The fading years have left their lines
Alone on you and me.
hue,
How awertly then the songs we sung
When floating on the air;
flow full of hope and happy dreams
Those golden moments were,
Toe hawthorne blooms as snowy white,
As on that by-gone day ;
’Bit silent are our merry songs—-
Our raven locks are gray.
Yet, bless the time of happy youth,
When all our hearts were young,
And sing again with heart and voice.
The dear old songs we sung;
Well dream again of fairy haunts
That youthful fancy rears,
And, sitting in the hawtliorne shade,
Dream the dream of years.

TACOMA TO ALBANY, OREGON.
To those who have always lived East they
can form but a faint idea how rapidly towns
spring up here. I cannot say that the build-
ings now being erected will long be perma-
nent, for as soon as wealth pours in here then
these small houses and stores will give way
to larger and more commodious ones. The
road will be completed in all probability
within eighteen months, and then see what a
vast country it will open up to the actual set-
tler. Laud inexhaustible in fertility can be
had for so very little that all can have homes
out in this far West that wish it.
I wish to say a word to the poor man if
he intends coming. 1st. You must not ex-
pect to receive the comforts that you will in
your own cottage. The country is new and
you will be compelled to carry your own bed
and sleep where night overtakes you. If you
work out upon a ranch, I understand from
pretty good authority, that you work from
daylight until dark and then make your
bed and sleep just where you like. I heard
a gentleman tell me that he overheard a con~
versation between two. laborers who had
hired out to a farmer, and when night came
they asked him where they should sleep as
they saw that he had made no move to show
them, and he replied: “ I own 1,000 acres
and you may sleep on any part of it that you
wish.” This is the feeling and the way that
the laboring classes are treated upon this
coast. So if you intend coming bring your
blankets with you and come prepared to
rough it, and if you have a little money and
intend settling down bring a wife with you,
for they are the scarccst thing that there is
upon this coast. I heard the editor of the
Northern Pacific Coast remark one evening
that he did not believe that there was a young
lady in Tacoma of marriageble age that had
not anywhere from one to a dozen proposals.
There is one thing that can be vouched for
as a certainty, that there are no very old
maids out here andladies are in demand.
2d. Mechanics fare better, for they work
in cities and can do as they like. wages rang-
ing from three to five dollars per day,and the
laborer gets from two to two-fifty a day;
‘. is five dollars per week, or if you
can board yourself. Men are in do.
0 work upon the road, and in many
ranches all seem to have enough to do
it the rain will stop so they can.
Washington Territory has some beautiful
farming land as well as Oregon, and we are
now about to pass through some of the finest
there is in any state or territory in the Union.
From Portland to Aurora, twenty-seven
miles, you pass some of the finest farming
land there is; it is a very little rolling with
large orchards of bearing fruit trees which
reminded me of New England. Few have
until recently given their attention to that
branch but now fruit commands a ready,
‘ market, there being nothing that
, 0 upon his land that will pay so
fly for the labor and money ex-
iit trees, and they are setting out
their land With them. Oregon and Washing-
ton Territory are both well adapted for all
kinds of fruit. Plums, peaches, apples and
pears do well‘hcre and free from the sting of
the curculio, which is such a pest in the East.
Along this valley some of the prettiest
sights falls to view. On the one side looms
up the grandeur of the Cascades, on the
other that of the Coast Range, and through
it flows the \V'dluinefte river on which the
Capital of Oregon is situated. It is about
sixty miles from “Rolland and in the heart
of a rich agilstulilli'tfl country. The quiet
stream flows gently by the town as if
not to arous: it from its siiiiiibers. The
ofty mountains in tzic distance lift them—
selves up noble and grand. Ljuk out upon
yonder horizon and there is Mt. Hood, ap-
parently no farther off than when we started
in the morning, and there, on the outskirts,
hangs the famed St. Helen and Mt. Jefferson.
They have all been of volcanic origin and
rise from the level plain thirteen to fifteen
thousand feet,and the cool breeze as it comes
from these mountains in summer, so tempers
the atmosphere as to cause the traveler to
exclalm “How delightful! Your climate is
a paradise, your bower is an Eden, your
fields are waving rich with the'golden grain,
and your orchards are loaded with its fruit.
What more do you wish ? Is this not enough
to satisfy all?" Nay, proud ambition is not
contented! Her wants are never satisfied.
Her cravings and longings arouses her from
her sleepless energy and instills new vigor
and new life, and by its efforts new avenues
to wealth is opened up to you, and on and
still onward is our motto till every difficulty
has been mastered and he stands upon the
crowning round of his aehievment, and look-
mg back upon the road he has traveled stands
bewildered to see what he has accomplished.
Salem is the capital and contain a popula-
tion ranging anywhere from 1,000 to 1,200.
Her streets are straight and wide, and her
sidewalks are also wide and in excellent con-
dition, which Cannot be said of Tacoma.
Her State House is built in the form of an
L with a large dome rising from the center,
giving it a very pleasing look from a distance.
But the city is without life; it is like the
comet retrogruding, and although there is a
rich agricultural country to back it, with a
noble streamrunning through it, with every
advantage combined to make it a large place,
yet for some cause it has diminished in popu-
lation more than thirty per cent. in the past
ten years.
Ighas many fine and imposing residences,
and although small it shows wealth, and
many are here who have retired from active
life and living quietly, spending their time
in beautifying and adorning their homes.
From hereto Albany,a distance of twenty-
fivc miles, opens up an avenue of scenery as
' varied as .it is overwhelming in grandeur.
The rolling earth beneath you is strewn with
flowers, the golden fruit is waving upon the
trees, with their rosy checks as they turn to
the sun, almost tempts the traveller to alight
from the car and pluck the tempting peach as
it hangs upon the tree, far enough away to
tantalize us and cause our mouths to water
and our heart to crave for it. We are like
Tantalus, as with water all around and about
him and yet. dying from thirst,—-with us
the tempting fruit is near us and yet it only
excites our fancy, for they are beyond our
a
reach. Here the beautiful prairie rises
gradually to the mountains, and look in the
distance like the great swell of the ocean,
with her rolling plain and lovely dale, with
her hillside and her‘vale, with her rivulets
rolling quietly along until it empties to ruin.
gle with those of the‘Willamette a‘nd Colum.
bia. In every direction the eye may turn
are seen herds of cattle and sheep grazing on
the rich verdure, while in the distance looms
affectionately forth the “Twin Sisters.”
How beautifully sounds that name. What
feeling of delight wells upon a brother's
heart when he knows that he has a loving
and caressing sister. What affection burns
within that bosom? Who is there save her
who can portray the feeling—a sister’s love?
Do you not revere that name? Tender, lov-
ing and affectionate. She will, if older,
advise you as a mother, and he who will heed
her advice will never go astray.
When I saw those sisters, crowned with
their jewels of splendor, spreading their
mantel of whiteness, the emblem of purity,
around them, I stood like one bereft of
thought, lost in the wilderness of my own
contemplation. For grandeur without limit
was before me, and magnificence, grand and
sublime, was on every hand. To the right
the noble Cascades spread to my view; to
thélcft and there was the coast. There lay
the limit of our boundary. We can go no
further west. The bounds are set and be-
yond rolls the deep swelling tide of the
ocean. Do you cry forth marvellous! How
grand! How stupenduous the great work of
nature! How lofty, noble, and yet how
sweeping the mind when it attemps to grasp
and drink in nature’s great law. When I
look upon this great extent of territory, with
her mountains vast and extensive and ever
lifting themselves in the line of perpetual
snow. WhenIcontemplate upon the vast
extent of the ocean, what is it compared to
God's kingdom when this earth is one mil-
lion aud one-half times smaller than our own
sun, and our own luminary is among the
smallestin the universe? He that views the
small hills of Connecticut and has never
traveled beyond its precincts, cannot appre-
ciate the true grandeur that lies before ,him
here. Nature‘s inexhaustible variety is here.
If the eye becomes giddy or tired of one
thing it can turn to another. It lies pcfore
you without limit. To the right there is no
end, to the left the same infinite variety
arises to greet you as you are speeding along
in the railway car. Here is a section of
country to him who shall be the fortunate
pioneer, a grand field for his operations.
Timber in abundance and land rolling enough
to relieve the eye from its monotonous nature,
while during the summer the cool, delightful
atmosphere blowing steadily from the menu-
tains so tempers the air as to make it equal
in temperature to the far-famed table land
of Quito. No wonder the traveler or tourist
is enwrnpt with her balmy clime and give
way to wild expressions of delight over her
summer clime and scenery. I do not wish
to raise your imagination too high lest you
might say the writer’s pen is ambiruous, but
he who shall witness the scenery hereafter
will heartily say that my pen has been kept'
far within bounds. Such is the grandeur
that surrounds the beautiful scenery of Al-
bany. Living in aperpetual paradise, where
the heat will not roast you in summer nor
the snows bury you in winter. Your cattle
can feed with impunity upon the plains dur-
ing winter, while the farmer has everything
that he needs to satisfy his desires. He» is
wallowing inhis own luxury. Still he is
not happy. His mind is not contented. He
longs to see once more his native hills, his
birthplace, the scenes and actions of his
boyhood. EDWIN Coms'roox.
Salem, Oregon, Nov. 3, 1881.
' American Flag In Ireland.
The London correspondent of the Balti-
more Sun tells the following story:
Some years after the recognition of the
American independence, 1'. e. in 1790, the
American flag was hoisted in public in Ire-
land, and a free fight ensued. I do not re-
member another instance like this, and I
may give it substantially from my memory
of what Admiral Preble says. One Lemuel
Cox of Charlestown, Mass, had two marked
abilities, separating his friends and building
bridges! He built the bridge linking Boston
with Charlestown and was happyland hon-
ored. He went to bridge making with a
sort of pious zeal, and prayed over every
completed arch.
An arch saint was Cox. Consequently he
was invited to England to study out,the con-
struction of a bridge of ‘ such dimensions
that English Engineers said was a physical
impossibility. But to the saintly Cox spans
of any size were not impossible, particularly
after his success with the boasting Bosto-
nians. He planned the bridge and then
went to Londonderry, that transmogrified
English-Irish town, and there measured the
width of the fussy Foyle river. It is nearly
one thousand feet wide, and ths laughter at
Cox‘s pretentious were almost of the same
dimensions. However, with twenty live
Yankees and a few half moribund Milesians
he set to work, and within seven months he
completedabridge of American oak, with
fifty-eight arches, and at a cost of $75,000.
On the 22d of November, 1790, the bridge
was opened to the public, and the loud laugh-
ter of cynical critics closed. With just
pride Cox raised the American flag over his
engineering victory. He thought only of the
success uf his twenty Americans, his Amer-
ican oak, and his American reputation. No
othermotivc aroused the ardor of Cox, the
saint of arches. But the best motives are
abused often. As the people awaited to pass
over the bridge, in;joyousness, the 'first day
of its opening, and under the American flag,
a bitter sort of a “Sassenach” yelled out:
“No free flag here, but all free» bridges l”
The mayor was called upon, and he called
upon the military, and the military called
upon Cox. “Pull it down,” said the indig.
nant arch saint: “pull me and the bridge
down first before that flag.” The flag re-
mained flying and so did some iingry words,
and finally fists, sticks and stones. The
tvventy Yankees stood silent, with their up-
lifted axes, and in a moment by a wink from
the arch Cox they cut their bright way
through the oaken gate of the‘ footway to the
bridge, and led the entire people over and
under the flag, Some three or four persons
were killed. The mayor of Derry beat a re-
treat, and the Fortieth regiment prayed over
their safe delivery from the saintly Cox and
his bridge brigade of twenty glittering hatch-
cts: Thus came the first American bridge
and flag in Ireland, resulting in a neat little
riot, the outcome of a blunder on paying tell
to cross a Londonderry bridge!
The Connecticut Board of Agriculture
Commissioners report that the revelations of
the census of 1880 are well calculated to
awaken solicitude for the agricultural inter
sets of Connecticut. There is a gain of pop:
ulafion in the whole State of 88,633, but there
is a loss of 12,084 divided among the 76
more exclusively agricultural towns. The
increase is confined to the cities and the
large manufacturing villages. The loss of
people in the rural towns has been going on
in Connecticut for‘fifty years, but no decade
has shown such a marked decline~\as the last.
The cause of the depopulation of the farm-
ing districts is thought to be in the fact that
the young and enterprising go West and the
banks and moneyed men invest a large share
of their capital outside of the State. In one
farming. town, Lebanon, there has been a loss
of 360.

The liberal gr0i ,xeu by the Rev. Dr.
Crosby on the use of intoxicants in a letter
to the Rev. Dr. Cuyler, of Brooklyn, has
been the, topic of discussion in ecclesiastical
circles. In the communication referred to
Dr. Crosby, in speaking of the total absti-
nence system, said: "It denounces all who
drink wine and holds them up to a reproach
which it never extends to the drunkard. The
system travesties Scripture. The system dc-
stroys fundamental difiercucies, and so per-
verts the human reason and conscience. The
system is not merely abstaining from intoxi-
cating drinks, as you make out You laugh
at the comicality of my accusing the teetotal
crusade as demoralizing. One of the sad
dest features of this demoralization is that
good men, like yourself, overlook all the
evils that the fanaticism is doing and treat
earnest appeals to God’s Word against it
with merrimcnt or else with the ether ex-
treme of anger.”
Further on Dr. Crosby relates in detail the
work that he and his society have accom-
plished to prevent the sale of liquor in New
York and then continues: “ Now let me ask
if your great teetotal society, with its hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars, over shut up a
single liquor shop in New York city ? * *
* Your society is a great one for speeches
and fiery assaults on moderate men, but I
have yet to see that it has done anything to
shut up the groggeries. * "' * " You
think that my declaration (‘moderate drink-
ing leads to drunkenness is an atrocious
dogma’) is extraordinary, dangerous, &c. It
is atrocious, for it implies that every moder-
ate drinker is on the road to drunkenness.
It implies that our Lord travelled that road.
* " * Most teetotalers have no idea of
moderate drinking other than tippling. *
* * But {I use moderate drinking for such
just drinking as our Lord practiced. To say
that that leads to drunkenness is ‘atrocious.’ ”
DR. OUYLER’S REPLY.
§§The Rev. Dr. Cuyler, pastor of the Lay-
fayettc Avenue Presbyterian Church, in
commenting on Dr. Crosby’s letter, said
that the cause of the discussion was an arti-
cle which Dr. Cuyler published in the Inde-
pendent in reply to a lecture which Dr. Cros-
by had delivered in Boston, and-the letter
was a rejoinder to these strictures. The cor-
respondence, he said, should be regarded as
an honest exchange of convictions between
two OILI friends. For twenty years he and
Dr. Crosby had differed on the question of
tectotalism,'and many discussions and con
froversies have sprung up between them on
that point, but without creating any harsh
feeling or in any manner, interfering with
their friendly relations. Others besides Dr.
Cuyler had commented on Dr. Crosby’s Bos-
ton lecture, among these being Wendell
Phillips. The lecture was published in full
in the Independent, and was accompanied by
an editorial note that the editor had received
an order from at Cincinnati brewer for 250
the lecture. Dr. Crosby had a crochet, Dr.
Cuyler said, on the subject of total absti
nence. While he thought that total absti-
nence was good in its way,he did not believe
in the total abstinence system. In other
words, Dr. Crosby does not favor total absti-
nence societies. ’ He is thus at war with the
methods and modes of the total abstinence
societies, and thus thinks it his duty to op—
pose them. ,
ooxscraurious ansraruxusn
In his original lecture, continued Dr. Guy-
ler, Dr. Crosby proclaimed that if a man con-
scientiously believes he should be a total ab-
staiuer then it is perfectly right he should be
so. That, Dr. Cuyler said was all he and his
society claimed, as they only tried to make
people conscientious abstainers. As regards
the statement of Dr. Crosby that Dr. Cuyler
and his society made merry over the failiire
of the Society for the Suppression of Vice to
close the groggeries in New York, as they
promised to do, in six months, Dr. Cuyler
denies that there was any foundation in fact
for the charge. In place of making merry
he had said that the effort ought to be suc-
cessful, and that if it were there' was not
marble enough in the country to build Dr.
Crosby a monument. But he thought the
means employed were inadequate to bring
about so desirable a result. "Dr. Crosby’s let-
.ter was evidently not well considered. It
bore the impress of having been written in
haste. His statement, for instance, that for
nine days in 1877 the grog shops of New
York Were all shut up as a direct result of
his work was, Dr. Cuyler thought, a most ex-
traordinary utterance, and he would say
nothing more about it. The statement would
be considered by the people of New York,
who could ask themselves the question
whether for nine days in 1878 the dram shops
were closed owing to the action of Dr. Cros-
by and his society. It was an astonishing
statement, and the value of the rest of Dr.
Crosby’s argument could be judged by that.
Suppose that for nine days every dram shop
in the city of Brooklyn should be shut up,
would it not be regarded as a most extraor-
dinary occurrence in the experience of many
of the citizens of that city, and would
it not remain stamped vividly on their
memory never to be forgotten? Had the
Brooklyn City Hall disappeared would not
every one be looking to see what had become
of it, and would that cvent'be likely to be
forgotten in a generation? Dr. Cuyler would
be rejoiced if Dr. Crosby's statement were
true in fact, but he thought the story was,
to say the least, a stretch of the imagination.
cram: ALLEGATIONS BEFUTED.
He further denied the allegation contained
in Dr. Crosby's letter to the effect that Thee-
dore Frelinghuysen despised the total absti-
nence theory as much as he (Dr. Crosby) did
himself. On this point Dr. Cuyler joined
issue bluntly and squarely with Dr. Crosby.
He had known Mr. Frelinghuysen for years,
and they had been intimate friends. He was,
to Dr. Cuyler’s knowledge, as earnest in the
cause of the total abstinence system as Lloyd
Garrison was fer the abolition of slavery.
For these reasons Dr. Cuyler thought that
Dr. Crosby must have dashed off his letter
in hot haste, and so inadvertently allowed
himself to make statements which were at
variance with the facts. To say that Theo.
dore Frelinghuysen despised the teetotal
system would be the same as saying that
Lloyd Garrison despised the anti-slavery sys-
tem. Theodore Frelinghuysen was in fact as
staunch an advocate of the teetotal system
as Father Matthew was in his day and gener-
ation. The letter itself, Dr. Cuyler said,
carried its own refutation with it. Wendell
Phillips said that it required three editions
of the paper in which Dr. Crosby's original
lecture appeared to meet the demands of the
liquor dealers for it.
In reference to the abstinence system Dr.
Cuyler said that it was not “ two fools sip-
ping’? liquor that be regarded as moderate
drinking. It was the wine at the wedding
and at the table and in the social circle that
formed the appetite which paved the way to
ruin. While Dr. Crosby denounces the total
abstinence pledge, Dr. Cuyler strongly advo-
cates it.
A Little Mixed.
'In making up his forms the foreman of a
Montreal paper, mixed an article on Roman
Catholic missions in Africa with a recipe for
making tomato catsup. As published the
article reads: ‘
“ The Roman Catholics'claim to be making
material advances in Africa. During the past
three years they have obtained a firm footing
in the interior of the continent and have sent
forth several missionaries into the equatorial
regions. They are accustomed to begin their
work by buying heathen children and educa-
ting them. The easiest and best way to pre-
pare them is to first wipe them with a clean
towel; then place them in dripping pans and
bake them till they are tender. Then you
will have no difficulty in rubbing them
through a sieve, and will save time by not
being obliged to cut them in slices, and cook
for several hours.”

SCIENTIFIC IIISCELLANY.
Herr Hansen has found that the blue color.
in milk is due to the presence of peculiar
microsopic korgaeisms—known as bacteria—-
which multiply very rapidly and In so doing
produce a blue matter resembling aniline.
These organisms render the milk unfit for
food, especially for persons of weak digestive
power.
The Russian Government has made a
grant of 14,000 roubles for-locating two Polar
iobserving stations next year—one at the
mouth of the Lena and the other On one of
the islands of New Siberia.
Mr. H. F. Blanford reports that he has
observed white ants in the act of emitting
rythmical sounds. Another observer, Mr.
F. P. Parcoe, has heard a peculiar sound, in
fields of Southern Europe, which was found
to be the song of a small lizard. It is gener-
ally believed that these creatures have no
power of producing vocal sounds.
The general experience of observers has
been that the removal of forests results in
diminishing the size of rivers and smaller
streams traversing the territory. This effect
iMolten very marked—small streams disap-
pearing entirely and large rivers dwindling
to more brooks. Quite a different experience
I5 rePorted from New South Wales. A tract
of land embracing the water-shed of three
creeks was partially cleared in 1870. Soon
after, these crecks,—-which had been dry
watercourses for twenty years,—became
permanent streams, and have so continued
to the present time. This explanation offer-
ed to account for this phenomenon ,is, that,
alarge proportion of the rainfall formerly
taken up by the gum trees and evaporated
now finds its way to the streams.
In 1879, two or three eminent British
meterologists expressed a belief in a “cycle
of seasons.” of about eleven years in length.
During these eleven years a period of heat
and drouth occurs, usually of three years’
duration—that is to say, the drouth recur-
ing to this theory, the last three summers
should have been very hot and dry; but
Mr. G. T. Ryves calls attention to the fact
that they have been cold and wet, and from
this concludes that such predictions are at
best mean scientific guesses, and when put
forth as prophecies often disappoint those
who rely upon them, while they create a
false impression in the public mind as _to '
what is attainable in the present state of
meteorological science. This conclusion,
deduced in England, is equally applicable to
this country. Valuable as is the services now
rendered by meteorology, it possesses as yet
no reliable data from which to forecast the
weather of years, of seasons, or 'of months.
Prof. lllcchan has advanced the theory
that the absence of trees upon the American
prairies is due to annual fires, it being known
that such fires were caused by the Indians
during a {long period. Herbaceous plants
and animals may increase their area yearly,
while trees were never able to get beyond
the line to which the annual fires extend.
In France alone the money value of the
animals which have died from splenic fever
has been $4,000,000 ayear. Prof. Paateur’s
system of vaccination has been proven a
perfect safeguard against loss from this dis-
ease. Of this great discovery Prof. Huxley
says: “It fully balances the ransom of $1,-
000,000,000 paid by France to Germany after
the war of 1870-71,”
The materials used by the ancients for
producing artificial light were wax and tal-
low, oil of various kinds being also used at a
late day. Their candles and lamps were
exceedingly rough and uncouth, and the
light yielded was of the feeblest description,
and gave out the most disgusting odors.
Even up to the commencement of the pres-
ent century little or no progress had been
made, gas being unknown, and the perfect
burning oil lamps with which we are so fa-
miliar having no existence until many years
later. Gas was first introduced in 1802, but
as late as 1842 the Haymarkct Theatre, in
London, continued to be lighted by candles.
Mark the contrast. Less than forty years"
ago London witnessed the drama by the dim,
flickering light of foul-smelling candles,while
within the past few days Paris has had the
privilege of listening to the opera beneath
the brilliant, noon-day glare of the electric
arc!
Prof. Samokvasoff recently gave 'an ac-
count of the excavation, near Pyatigorst, of
about two hundred graves belonging to the
stone, bronze and iron ages. In the larger
graves bronze implements were foundwith
the stone ones. They also contained, besides
the bones not belonging to {skeletons from
which It is infered that the people in that
part of the Caucasus were man eaters during
the bronze period.
Experiments on the influence of a current
of electricity upon the growth of the grape-
vine have been made by M. Macagno. An
electric circuit was formed by attaching one
pole of a battery to the lower and the other
to the upper extremity of a fruit-bearing
branch. More wood was formed in the
branch, which contained less potash than the
other parts, and the grapes ripened more
readily, containing an excess of sugar.
“Give us your Hand, John Boyr .”
The New Haven Palladium gives an inter-
esting sketch of the political situation in Con-
necticut twenty-five years ago in connection
with the free-soil movement, in which Hon.
John Boyd, who died last week at his home in
Winsted, took a leading mrf 7“ . .
abolition state ticket nor. ._ .:
John Boyd or Francis G -
and Amos Townsend for
following the intrcduciior. ... the Aansas—N -
braska bill, the whig state convention nomiv
hated Henry Dntton for governor. Later the
whigs of the Seventeenth senatorial district
nominated John Boyd for senator, much to
the dismay of the pro-slavery wing of the
party. In announcing the nomination of Mr.
Boyd, the Palladium, then edited by Hon.
James F. Babcock, cut loose from its old
moorings and came out square for free-soil
principles and said:
“Good! give us your hand, John Boyd.
Let us forget and forgive all past differences,
and go in together for liberty and the consti-
tution. We wish we lived in the Seven-
teenth district, in order that we mightivote
for John Boyd, ‘ Principles, not men,’ should
be the motto, until the north is redeemed.”
“ Give us your hand, John Boyd,” became
the rallying cry of the campaign. The dis-
mayed democracy lost heart, and the free-
soilers and anti-slavery Whigs swept the
state.
Francis Gillette, abolitionist, and Lafayette
S. Foster, whig, were that year elected to the
United States Senateu In the state senate
were Henry B. Harrison, John Woodhull,
Augustus Brandegee and Benjamin Douglas.

Sights and Shades of Missionary
Lite.
Hearing of the dangerous {illness of his
father, a Texas missionary of the American
Snuday-School Union started for his Missouri
home. On his way to the railway station, at
night, his team was run into by a freight
train, his'buggy ,wrecked. and one of his
ponies killed—the fourth lost in twelve
months. Raising a signal on the ruins, he
was taken up‘the next day by a passenger
train, when his distress was increased by the
intelligence of the President’s assassination.
At midnight, reaching Vinita, in the Indian
Nation, he was sick, the result of'hsving
slept in an open shed, but thanked God for
the news that the President still lived.
Here he visited the Union Sunday-school,
and was further revived by learning that a
Union Sunday-school had in it more life and
work than the three denominational schools.
Reaching Rolla, the town next to his father’s
at one o’clock a. m., he found it in flames ;
but learning also that the President was bet.
tot, he again thanked God and took courage,
though still to weak to fight fire. Arriving
at his destination he found his father living,
'and he has since improved; and so has the
missionary, who has since been able to do
much work. Such are a missionary’s sorrow
and salmon—Christian Union.
