For The Reg iStsr.
THE FOREST GRAVE.
BY BRAlNBRD.


Beneath the grand ole forest trees
That 10 the breeze doth wave,
Near where a iimpid silver stream
LIS grassy banks doth lave
Where balny zephyrs idly dream
There is liuIe grave.
IT'S in liule qmet spot
Where stranger footsteps ne'er intrude
Whose quiet stiffness meier is broke
Bv sounds Of earh so harsh and rude
And naught but loving tones have woke
The echos Of IFS solitude.
A Hile form is sleeping there,
Thst sweeily bloomed yet faded soon,
And in the isafy bowers o'erhcad
The birds her only requiem tune
Aud Ger her grave is gently shed
Thc fairy beams OF the silver moon.
One lovely eve in summer time
Just at the close of day,
When fading from the landscape bTighr
Her gentle spirit fled away.
Now DER her grave the shadows play,
And sweetest flowers do bloom above,
Bu, blessed with Heavens fondest smile
And with Savour's boundless love
That gentle fairy guiIeless child
Is with the angel bands above.

SENSIBLE TO THE LAsT.-There was one really
amusing incident that occurred on the ground OF
the Miller Gallagher duel. 1t will be remember
ed that at the Broderick- Terry duel, when Ben
ham, Terry's second, received the gold coin
from his principals pocket, he threw it upon
the ground. Remembering this incident, and
being of rather utilitarian turn of mind, Judge
Miller, when he passed his loose change, some
$50 in gold, over to the hands of VIM. a. Nun
nally, who was present as the mutual friend OF
both parties, very quietly remarked "Now Bill,
don't make d-n fool of yourself like Benham,
and throw that money away" five were not
aware of the fact that the Judge never drinks,
we would naturally infer that by rapid process
of mental figuring, he had upon his mind toll
erably exact idea of the number of champagne
cocktails said $50 would purchase.

A MAGNIFICENT SALoON.-We venture the as
sertion that no mountain town in the State can
boast ola Saloon SO elegantly fitted up, and so
admirable in all of its arrangements, as can our
own little lat presently snowbegirt town. For
this we are indebted to the enterprise and ad-
mirable taste of the Messrs. Getleson Bros, the
proprietors. The building is exceedingly COM
modious, elegantly papered and carpetted and
admirably lighted. Indeed no expense has
been spared to make it the most delightful and
cosy place in town to spend an hour in. 1t is
occupied by Thorn. Gimour, whose peculiar
fitness for this sort of business is familiar to the
community Billiard Saloon, and contains
two excellent Billiard tables The back part
of the room is filled up with card tables-the
front, in part, occupied by elegant bar. The
only fear is that it is too cosy and attractive
in which event the wives of Shasta may here
after be heard saying, "may Gilmour's Saloon
go hang" Alas that all good things are
liable to be abused by weak and erring man.
