Borne on every passing breeze;
Light to those who sit in Darkness"
Send, osend quick releae.
See the heMhen nations bowing
To their gods of wood and stone,
Sacrificing unto idols,
Children, left to die alone.
See the lonely widow sitting
On the husbands funeral pile;
Christians. can YOU gaze in silence
On y scene so strangely vile?
Can You see your Fathers children
Thus delu,le,l. bound in sin?
VIII YOU hold the KEY Of heaven.
And prevent their entering in?
Speed, Q speed the gospel message.
Heed the Savior'S last command,
Go preach the word in every nation,
Speed the truth from land to land
Let us look within the borders
OF our own beloved land.
Seeking tho.e who dwell in darkness.
Thu. t'obev the Lords command.
Gaze upon our Western sisters.
States uat spr.uging into life;
Shall they grnpe in moral darkness.
While we have .he gospel light;
Shall they urge in vain our efforts

PAST MEMORIES.
by JOHN G. WHITTIER

How thrills once more the lenghening chain
Of memory at the thought of thee
Old hopes which long in dust have lain,
Old dreams come thronging back again,
And boyhood lives in me
| feel lis glow upon my cheek,
Its fullness of the heart is mine,
AS when | yearned 10 hear thee speak.
Or raised my doubtful eyes 10 thine
| hear again thy low replies,
| feel thine arm within my own,
And lmiIIy again uplise
The iriuged lids of hazel eyes
With soft brown tresses overblown,
And memories of sweet summer ewes,
OF moonli wave and willowy way,
Of stars and flowers and dewy leaves,
Aud smiles aud tears more dear than they.
Ere this, thy quiet eye hath smiled,
My picture of the youth 10 see,
When half IA woman, half a child, ..
Thy very arlessness beguiled,
And toly's self seemed wise in me
| too can smile, when o'er that hour
Tue lights Of memory backward stream,
YET feel The while that manhood's power
Is vainer than my boyhood's dream.
Years have passed on, and left their tlace
Of graver care and deeper thought,
And unto me the calm, cold face
OF manhood, and 10 thee, the grace
o! womau's pensive beauty brought.
On liie's rough blast, for blame and praise,
The school-boy's name has widely flown (;
Thine, in The green and quiet ways
OF unoblrusive goodness Known
Aud wider yet, in ihorght and deed,
Our still diverging paths incline
Thine, the Geneyan's slernes creed,
While answers 10 my spirits need
The forkshire's peasants simple line
For thee, the prieslly rite and prayer,
And holy day and solemn psalm;
For me, the silent reverend, where
My brethren gather, slow and calm.
Yet hath thy spirit left on me ...
An impress Time has worn not out,
And something of myself in thee,
shadow Of the past, see
Lingering een thy way about;
Not holly can the heart unlearn
That lesson Of lis better hours, - ...
Nor yet has times dull footsteps worn
To common dust that path Of flowers.

MAMMOTH SAW MlLL.-This mill
lis about six miles from Auburn and
is undoubtedly among the largest and
most perfect mills in the State. 1t is
owned by Messers Holt and Perkins.
1t has an engine Of 50 horse power,
runs two perpendicular saws, has a
lath machine, and contemplates at
taching other machinery. Their
logs are also drawn up into the mill
by the same power. This mill is ca
pable of saving Is thousand feet of
lumber and ten thousand laths, yet
strange to say, the demand is greater
than the supply. The water which
supplies the engine is brought from
the Bear River and Auburn water
Co.'S tunnel in lead pipe, a distance
of three quarters of mile. There
are 20 hands constantly employed
on the mill, besides those who are
engaged furnishing lumber. Four
OK teams are constantly engaged
hauling lumber to the mill. This
immense establishment furnishes
some indication Of the rapid improve
ment of our county. ....

HEARTRENDING CALAMITY.-At
Volcano Bar on the 9th inst. as Mr..
Urial Logsden was passing from the
residence of Mr.. Mckay, where he,
with his wife and three small child
ren were stopping, a log rolled down
the mountains from above, some
quarter of a mile, struck an hundred
and fifty feet above the house, bound
ed over the same and struck directly
across MIR. Logsden, crushing him in
the most shocking manner, scarcely
leaving him in the human shape.
Mr.. l.. had but a few days before
arrived over the plains with his taml-
ly; his wife now being in delicate
situation, and not even the where
with to provide food for her children;
the youngest Of which is not yet two
years old.
At q meeting Of the miners upon
the bar, a committee was appointed
of the undersigned for the purpose of
raising means to be placed in the
hands Of Adams & Co., to provide
for the widow and orphans, and send
them home to their friends in the
States as soon as the situation Of Mrs.
Logsden will permit.
This being one Of those visitations
of God which moves the feelings OF
all, we call upon all those who SYM
pathise with the poor widow and Or
+phans who are left in new country
far distant from all those whom they
can call upon for aid, that she and
they may be sent comfortably home
to their friends.
