Lake Harvey.
ZACH.

The following description of Lake Harney,
some three hundred miles in the interior from
the Dalles, will be read with interest:
Lake Harney is seventeen miles in length
from east to west, and about twelve miles over
at its greatest width. The elevation is over
1900 feet above the sea level 1t is fed by two
small streams-Moose creek from the west
and Willow creek, flowing through sue
cession of tule marshes from the north. This
lake has no outlet; the waters contain mix
ture of salt and saleratus in strong solution,
and are exceedingly offensive in odor and
taste. The immediate surroundings are
dreary and barren in the extreme. No fish
live in it, though Willow creek, its tributary
contains immense numbers. This stream
drains beautiful valley, commencing twelve
miles north of the lake, having an area of
not less than 5000 miles-a luxurant mead
ow bounded by cliffs of basaltic rocks on the
west, and the timbered slopes of the Blue
Mountains on the east. The great altitude
renders this beautiful valley wholly unsuited
to agriculture, yet its luxuriant pastures may
some day allure thither the hardy adventurer
with his fiocks and herds"

PUTTING OFF REPENTANCE.-A hermit was
conducted by an angel into wood, where he
saw an old man cutting down boughs to make
up Il burden. When it was large, he tied it
up, and attempted to lift it on his shoulders
and carry it away, but finding it very heavy
he laid it down again, cut more wood and
heaped it on, and then tried again to carry it
off. This he repeated several times, always
adding something to the load, after trying in
vain to raise it from the ground. In the
meantime the hermit, astonished at the old
mans folly, desired the angel to explain what
this meant . You behold" said he, in
the foolish old man an exact representation
of those who. being made sensible of the bur-
den of their sins, resolve TO repent, but soon
grow weary, and instead of lessening their
burden increase it every day. At each trial
they find the task heavier than it was be-
fore, and so put it off little longer, in the
vain hope that they viii, by and by, be more
able to accomplish it. Thus they go on add
ing to their burden, tin it grows too heavy to
be borne, and then in despair of Gods mercy,
and with their sins arhrepented of, they lie
down and die. Turn-again. my son, and be-
hold the end of the old man whom thou saw
est haping II. load of boughs' The her
NIT looked snd saw him in vain attempting
to remove The pile, which was now accumu-
lated far beyond his strength to raise. His
feeble limbs tottered under their burden; the
poor remains of his strength were fast ebbing
away; the darkness of death was gathering
around him; and after a convulsive and i'm
potent attempt to lift up the pile, he fell down
and expired

OPINION OF DR.. GwIN.-Almost all the
papers of this State have asserted that DR..
Gwin was inevitably in favor of the destruc-
ton of this Union. From the following arti-
Gle it would appear that DIR. Gwin has been
belied:
g The Vicksburg Whig states that pri-
vate letter from w. M. Gwin, ex-senator,
dated on the 1st of March, addressed to a
gentleman of jackson, gives the opinion that
from the construction of Lincoln's Cabinet
there will be no war. He says that Mr..
Seward, if permitted, and President Davis,
could settle the motter in thirty days.-Bul-

man in Wheeling, Virginia, got on spree
recently, and after having been arrested and

martyrdom for his principles. ''Gentlemen!" !"

going through a crooked, hollow log in the

RECENTLY, Hon. John Cochrane, of New
York, was at Richmond, on a mission, it is
said, of some sort in connection with the pro-
ceedings of the Virginia Convention. He was
serenaded and made a Union speech. He
said Virginia now held the destinies of the
nation in her hands, and whatever policy she
adopted New York would uphold her in it.
Virginia had only to present her ultimatum
to New York as a final one, and New York
would sustain Virginia. and she would have
her rights guaranteed to her. He was loudly
applauded while speaking.
