The Mountains OF Life.

There's land far away mid the stars we are told,
Where they know not the sorrows of time
Where thePure waters wander thro valleys Of gold,
And life is a treasure sublime;
'Tis the land of our God It's the home of the soul,
Where ages of splendor eternally roll
Where the way-weary traveller reaches his goal
On the evergreen mountains Of life.
Our gaze cannot soar to that beautiful land,
But our visions have told of its bliss
And souls by the gale from its gardens fan'd
When we faint in the deserts of this.
And we sometimes have longed for its holy repOse,
And welve drank from the tide of the river that flows
From the evergreen mountains Of life.
o the stars never tread the blue heavens at ght,
But we think where the ransOmed have trod,
And the day never smiles from his palace of light,
But we feel the bright smile of our God.
We travelling hOmeward, thro changes and gloom
To kingdom where pleasures unchangaby bloom,
And our guide is the glory that shines thro the tomb
From the evergreen mountains of life.

Plant flowers; yea flowers. What care or cost
Shall the generous hand deny,
These sinless symbols of all we've lost
And all we seek on high.
Flowers to carry the breath Ok Spring
To windows and walks and caves;
Flowers what sorrow in heart or wing
But shelters among their leaves
Plant fruit yea, fruit, in no niggard hole,
To rivalthe slug worms toll -H.
But wide as the patriots unbought soul,
And deep in the cream or soil =
Fruit, to temper the winters truth,
To soften the summers rage;
Fruit, to brighten the morn Of youth,
And mellow the eve of age.
Plant fruit and flowers yea flowers and fruit
The boughs may be bare and cold,
But subtle alchemst at the root
Is turning thy toll to gOld. d.-
Who follcws thy footprints SLOWLY,
Nor sleeps when thy labors close,
Until the wilderness ''glad for thee"
Is -" blossoming as the rose"

Ferry possesses superior advantages to the travelling
public situated as it is Snake at the most aceesa
BILE point for travel to
ColviIIe, Antoine PIante's, Bitter Root, and

and in fact is on the most direct route to all that
portion of country lying to the north and northeast

The road leading from Walla Walla to the Ferry is
far superior to the old Covile road and the country
is better supplied with grass and water The public

The editor of paper in Providence lately in
formed his readers that the ladies always pulled
off the left stocking last. This, as may be sup
posed, created some stir among his fair readers
and while in positive terms they denied the
statement, they at the same time declared that
he had no business to know it, even if such was
the fact, and pronounced him no gentleman
He proves it, however, by a short argument
"When one stocking is pulled off and another
left on, pulling off this is taking off the left
stocking last"

"PLAYED Our. T."-The San Francisco Board
of Education refused to take part in the celebra-
ton of the Fourth, because the invitation from
the Committee contained the words "The
Union as it was" Their patriotic, tender
Skinned, African sensibilities, were shocked at
the reasonable sentiment. A picture of a ne
gro wench as the Goddess of Liberty, with the
Constitution under her feet, and the words
"played out" written on the bond of the Union,
would have exactly suited this patriotic Board.
They are the kind who "teach the young idea
how to shoot" God knows it is not surprising
that so many of the rising generation find their
way to the penitentiary and the gallows, when
such traitorous scoundrels are selectedforteach-

or her own nature, and the uses harmonious to
that natures idiosyncrasy. The world would
get on very i'll without persons of practical com
mon sense and active usefulness. Yet every
one is not therefore to be condemned who is not
Of this type, and who is not, in the popular ac-
ceptation "practically useful" The uses of
mediocrity are for everyday life; and the uses
of genius, amidst thousand mistakes which
mediocrity never commits, are to suggest and
perpetuate ideas which raise the standard of the
mediocre to a nobler level. There would be
fewer good men Of practical sense were there
no erring dreamers Of genius.

sented himself for examination as Assistant En-
gineer in the navy Among other questions,
the following was asked him Suppose you

that it was in complete order, but when put into

SUBJUGATED PEoPLE.-The Circassians have
at length been overcome and subjugated by the
Russians, showing that numbers and wealth
will succeed at last Though the Circassians
numbered but four hundred thousand and the
Russians sixty millions, yet it has taken more
than sixty years to conquer and subdue them.
The war commenced in 1900, when Georgia was
wrested from the Circassians and made Rus
sian Providence; but it has been only forty-one
years, since 1928, that the war has been ''vig-
orously prosecuted. .'-Nevada Transcript.
Here is a question of arithmetic. If it took
sixty millions of people sixty years to conquer
four hundred thousand, how long will it take
twenty millions of people to conquer ten mil

SPIRITUAL KNoCKNGs.-Table talk or knock

~ Tap tap, tap tap, or four replied the
table: truly wonderful exclaimed the lady
and all others. Presently her husband came in
and asked the same question. Tap, tap or
two was the answer. The effect produced by
this may be better conceived than described

FLATTERY.-It is easy to tell when others are

idly down, when an officer seeing the action,

Whenever young man is invited to drink,
gamble, smoke, or do any act of questionable
propriety, it. would be well for him to stop and
think; possibly a little calm reflection will show
him the 'error of his ways" and lead him into
better path. A vast proportion Of the misery
extant in the world results, directly or indirectly
from spirit of recklessness which seems to
characterize, in remarkable degree, the peo-
pie Of the present age. Thousands 60 headlong

Stop AND THINK.-Whenever business man
is about to engage in any scheme, of an uncer-
tain issue, with nearly an even chance between
making and losing money in the operation, he
should stop and think perhaps a more careful
consideration of the matter will lead him to
abandon an enterprise which would have proved
his financial ruin. Whenever an attendant upon
series of moral or religious discourse is on the
point of swallowing, as TRUTH a sugar-coated
absurdity, simply because it is rendered him by
some learned individual who is paid a stipula-
ted salary to tell his neighbors what to believe,
let him stop and think; possibly a critical ex-
animation of the propositions may reveal its in
congruities and demonstrate its fallacy. When

DANIEL WEBSTER, in his memorable Grafton
at Bunker Hill in l843, said
A military republic Government founded
on mock elections, and supported only by the
sword, is movement, indeed, but retrograde
and disastrous movement from the regular and
old fashioned monarchial system. If men would
enjoy the blessings of Republican Government,
they must govern themselves by reason, by mu-
tual counsel and consultation, by a sense and
feeling of general interest, and by the acquies-
cence of the minority in the will of the major
ity, properly expressed, and above all, the mill
tary must be kept, according to the language of
our Bill of Rights, in strict subordinatlon to the
civil authority Whenever this lesson is not
both learned and practiced, there can be no po-
litical freedom. Absurd, preposterous is it, a
scoff and satire free forms of constitutional
liberty, forms of government to be prescribed
by military leaders, and the right of suffrage to
be exercised at the point of the sword.

A Merchants Story.

A member ofa large mercantile firm recently
gave me bit Of his early experience Said he,
% 1 was seventeen years old when left the coun-
try store where / had tended for three Years
and came to Boston in search of place Anx-
ious, of course, to appear to the best advantage,
l spent an unusual amount of time and solici-
tude upon my toilet and when it was completed
l surveyed my reflection in the glass with no lit
tie satisfaction, glancing lastly and mostapprov-
ingly upon seal ring which embellished my
little finger, and my cane, very pretty affair."
which l purchased with direct reference to this
occasion. My first days experience was not very
encouraging I traversed street after street, up
one side and down the other, without success.
fanced towards the last that the clerks all knew
my business the moment l opened the door, and
that they winked il-naturedly at my discom-
fture as passed out But nature endowed lnc
with good degree of persistency, and the next
day started again Towards noon entered
store where an elderly gentlemen stood talking
with lady by the door. l waited until the
visitor left and stated my errand. No, sir was
the answer, given in peculiarly crisp and decided
manner Possibly looked the discouragement
was beginning to feel, for he added, in a kind
her tone, 'Are you good at taking hintF
90 I don't know answered, while my face
flushed painfully. "a
what wished to say is this said he, smi-
ling at my embarrassment: IF / aoere in want of
clerk, | would not engage young man who
came seeking employment with hashy ring up
on his finger, and swinging fancy cane
For a moment mortified vanity struggled against
common sense, but sense got the victory, and
replied with rather a shaky voice, Tm very
much obliged to YOU and beat hasty retreat.
AS soon as got out of sight | slipped the ring
into my pocket, and walked rapidly to the Wor-
cester depot, left the cane in charge
of the baggage master until called for
1t is there now for aught Isknow. At any rate
l never called for it. That afternoon l obtained
a situation with the firm of which I am now a
partner How much my unfortunate fnery had
injured my prospects on the previous dayI shall
neverknow but Inever think of the old gentle
men and his plain dealing without feeling as [
told him at the time very much obliged to
him. " IoIrIU-' rIs

Popular MaiOIities.

The Administrator papers are claiming
that the result of the late election is IN
overwhelming popular Endorsement of Mr..
Lincoln's policy. It is no such thing
The overwhelming popular majority does
not exist. In many of the States tho
vote was close, and it is doubtful whether
the Republican majority on the popular
vote of all the States entitled to partici-
pate in the election is more than 200,0 600
if it is that much. Allowing that the
vote of these States is as much as that
cast by them in 1860, the total vote at
that time being 3,754,770. Mr.. Lincoln's
majority, estimating it at the figure given
above is only five and one-half per cent.
of the whole vote, and is likely to be
less than that. When the immense eff
forts employed to secure Mr.. Lincoln's re-
election are considered, the majority OBJ.
tanned by him must be regarded as small
indeed, and anything but a strong popular
Endorsement of the policy of the Admin
istration.

volved in mystery. Grant is doing moth
ing. He has most probably quit the cam

While there will be all kinds of rumors
of expected fights during the winter
We need not expect to hear of any con-
siderable movements until spring.

received.
NEW York, Nov. 10.
The Tribune's special from the Army
of the James, 18th, states: Information
from Richmond to day renders it pretty
certain that Lee is detaching a part Of
his troops for service elsewhere.
Rebel papers betray evident ~trepidation
concerning Sherman's movements.
The defeat of Gen. Gillen at Bulls
Gap is announced in the Richmond En-
quirer of the 10th, by official dispatch
from Lee. He says: On the night OF
the 18th Breckenridge turned Bulls Gap,
when the enemy attempted to retreat
At one o'clock on the 14th he struck
their column and routed it, taking several
hundred prisoners, ten stand of %eolors,
six pieces of artillery, with caissons and
horses complete ; also ambulances with
medical supplies.

of Maj. Gen. Sherman, was here yester-
day, seriously i'll from an attack of cry
sipelas. He left Gen. Sherman lat 9
o'clock in the morning of the 10Th, at

Sherman has every infantry, cavalry and
artillery soldier that he wants. The men
have all received eight months pay.
