The Wife and Daughter.

- Among the early settlers of Ken
lucky, was family named Ervitts, ex-
tensively known, both for. their bravery
and hospitality both of which at that
time were highly essential among the
hardy pioneers of the west, one not
more than the other; for oftentimes
: being located remote from each other,
and exposed to the depredations of
! the Indian, it was of the utmost i'm
portance to possess a virtue such as
hospitality, on one hand whereby they
might be bound together by the com
mon link of safety and on the other
hand to possess bravery to endure pri-
yations and the attacks of the willy
red man s
- Many were the families who had
met their death, by the cruel hand of
the stealthy Ihdian-and at the time
Of our sketch, the indians had carried

Far away from all the turmoil
Of noisy city life,
Lay a quiet little village,
Sheltered from the noise and strife
By glorious old forest,
Whose protecting branches waved
Ger the humble, Happy households,
And had storms of ages braved.
Do you see that little cottage
Nesting mid the dark green trees
With wild roses at the window,
Lifted up by every breeze
All the gentle hand that trained them
Helpless lies beneath the sod,
And the gentle heart that loved them
Has gone up to live with God
Allis silent and deserted
And the dark boughs sob and sigh,
AS the breeze Of dying summer,
Mournfully comes wailing by.
Once that home was full of gladness-
Full of love and harmless glee-
And the heart that made the sunshine
Was the heart of Laura Lee
You could hear her in the morning
Like bird upon the wing
Rose she with the lark, as blithesome,
And as sweet song to sing
And that gentle voice kept sounding,
In such words of love and cheer
Like a sweetly murm'ripg river
So Fell its music on the ear.
It is hushed, alas land quiet
X Is the heart that beat with love:
'Twas not made for sin and sorrow,
But that better land above
Shall I ever cease to mourn her z

Is that one who could not prize it,
q Stole her trusting heart away.
Long she loved him, unsuspecting,
.yss Till, ike the sweet clinging vine,
Every fibre of her heart strings
Round bis heart, she learned to Irvine
When at last had saw her error,
And from that bright dream awoke,
Shemust take her pure heart from him,
And in taking tit broke
This is all. The pure in spirit
Who on earth have born the rod,

luton introduced declaring Mr., Daven-
port. entnled to the seat vacated BY Mr.
Acton. MI. Redick Of Douglas wanted
to speak to The motion; some Of The mem
bers thinking that he and others, only
wanted to speak to Kill time, called for
the previous question, but after some con-
versation had passed, it wa voted down,
only 5 or 6 voting for it. Mr.. Redick
spoke in a very excited name about
members applying the gag, and gazing
men, the speaker had to call him 10 border
several times, after a while he cool ed
down and gave way for Mr.. lockwood.
1t hurts Democrats terribly to be defeated /;
by the time however Rediek and others
have had several yeats experience "stand-
ing out in the cOld," they will take
things cooler. Mr.. Lockwood (Rep) of
Dakota, spread himself, arguing against
Mr.. Davenport's right to the seat. Some
of bis arguments were good, while others
we're miserable specimines Of special
pleading. When Lockwood finished
speaking the house adjourned without
coming to any decision. My opinion
now is, that the seat will remain vacant.
Mr.. Baker has been in his seat yester-
day aud today, but as he is rather feeble,
to 90 back and forth between bis board
ing house and the Capitol. Mr.. Luce
the Territorial Librarian has very kindly
furnished him a place to sleep in the Cap
itol.
Allow me to say few words about
some of the officers here. There was a
little fare up between Morton and Dundy
on the first day of the session, and of
course 1 don't like the Secretary's course
on the printing question, but he certainly
is a very pleasant sociable gentleman,
and l think really desires to get on smooth
ly with those who have business with him.

his DUE" and not "paint him blacker than
he really is"

MR. Eprron:-The business of the
Legislature IS progressing slowly as yet,
though everything is done in a friendly
spirit. The Democrats stave off mere
party questions as long as they can, and
when they are voted down, submit with a

language when debating party questions.
