Agency in Oregon, a mail communication
with that territory, line Of block houses
on the Oregon trace, an increase in the

THE MEMORY OF THE PAST.
BIZ GEORGE p. NORRIS.

BIT GEORGE P. MORRIS.
One balmy summer night, Mary,
Just as the risen moon
Had cast aside her feecy veil,
We left the gay saloon,
And, in green sequester'd spot,
Beneath dropping tree,
Fond words vera bresthed. by you iorgot
That still are dear to me. Mary,
That still are dear to me.
Oh we were happy then, Mary
Time linger'd on his way,
To crowd lifetime in night,
Whole ages in day!
II star and sun would set and rise
Thus in our after years,
This world would be paradise,
And no, a vale Of tears. Mary,
And not vale OF tears.
| live but in the past, Mary
The glorious days Of old
When love was boarded in the heart,
As misers hoard their gold:
And often, like bridal train,
To music soft and low,
The by.gone moments cross my brain,
In all their summer glow, Mary.
In all their summer glow.
These visions form and fade, Mary,
As age comes stealing on
To bring the light and leave the shade
or days forever goneI
The poets brow may wear at last
The bays that round it fall;
Blu. love has rose buds OF the past
Far dearer than them all, Mary.
Far dearer than them all.

late commissioner of patents, in his last report,
speaks very favorably of cotton beds, as free

Ellsworth estimates the cost of a cotton bed,
including ticking, at less than eight dollars.
