THE WORLD IS FULL OF BEAUT1


There IS a voice within me,
And tbs so sweet a voice
That its soft lispings win me,
TIltcars start to mine eyes:
Deep from my soul il springeth,
Like hidden melody;
And evermore it singeth
This song Of songs TO me-
J This wo..d is full of beauty,
As ethef worlds above,
And i we do our duty
Itmighi be full Of love.

Oh BigOsryas dark blindness

II men were more sorgiying,
Were kind words oitener spoken
Instead of scurn so grieving,
There would be few hearts broken.
When Plenty'x round us smiling,
Why wakes this cry for breade
Why are crushed millions toiling,
Gaunt-cloihed in rags-unfed2
The sunny hills and valleys

But the lordling of the palace
Still robs his fellow men.
Oh, God what hosts are trampled
Amidst this press Of gold.
What noble hearts are sapped Of life,
What spirits lose their hold
And vet upon this God-blesscd earth
= There's room tor every one
Ungarnerd food still ripens,
To waste, rot in the sun;
For the world is full of beauty.
As other worlds above,
And If we do our duty
Il might be full of love.
We're truth an uttered language
Angels might talk with men;
And God-illumined earth should see
~ The golden age again;
For the leaf-tongaes Of the forest
The fiower-lids OF the sod
The birds that hymn their rap;uFes
Into the car Of God
And the sweet wind that br;nge;h

be SO great a calamity as some appre-

From Oregon.

Our dates from Oregon are as late as
May 80. The Spectator, of that date,
says that the Legislature met on the 9th.
The Governors Message is published
in that paper. In it he relates at length
his proceedings to discover the murder.
ers of DIR. Whiteman and his party
Five of them were given up by the Gay
use Indians, who, in their efforts to take
them, killed several.
The Judge of the First District Court
being absent, law was passed, giving
the Second District Court jurisdiction
in the case, and calling session of the
same, which was held, and the murder
ers convicted and sentenced to be hung
on the ID Of June. They confessed
their guilt.
The Legislature adjourned May 25,h.
In the Spectator Of the 18th of May,
we find the following proceedings of the
Legislative Assembly, which took place
on the 10th:
Col. King introduced joint resolution
to inquire into "the propriety of calling
a Convention for the purpose of form
ing State Constitution preparatory to
admitting this Territory as State into
the Union.
This important and popular measure
was showed off the track by the adop-
ton of the following resolutions:
ResoLUed, The Council concurring
therein, that our Delegate in Congress
be requested to use his influence to have
the organic law Of this Territory SO
amended that the Governor and Secreta-
ry may be elected by the people"
The deseriers, to the number of thir-
ty-two, have reached California in safety.
Gov. LANE AND ROGUE RIVER GOLD.
Gov. Lane has gone to the Rogue riv-
er to negotiate, if possible, treaty with
the Indians in that region, preparatory to
working the gold mines there. 1t is the
Governors intention to explore that Sec
