FORGOTTEN.
[ BY CAROLINA BoYcR.

 Come back to the home they left last year. Bear you thought; wee, mottled breast sa
 How lone is our house, beloyeds, here? a@ You gnt her your straws and entwined hair, ,.
 You weave bower for Love's repose, Soon then the little wide mouths are there,
 While cit, forgotten, beneath your rose High up in the branch of locust limb,
 There lodges wider, ieeper nest,
 And brown-backed bird sings there hymn,
 Which re-echoes above from a male red
 breast. 2 watch your sport, and see your play,
 And the promise given the raven, I know 5i Bat your music pains my soul today srs Why am l left and forgotton so Z. have looked, with heart akin to despair, .-.sa. For the coming of this dear May morn 4g. I've sighed for the stream, the meadow where

r A GREAT NATURAL CUR1osrY.--The Senti.
 nel published at Jacksonville Oregon, of the
 12th ult, says: Several of our citizens return
 ed last week from visit to the Great Sunken
 Lake, situated in Cascade Mountains, sbout
 seyenty-fve miles northeast from Jacksonville.
 This lake rivals the famous valley of Sinbad.
 the Sailor. It is thought to average two thous' and feet down to the water all round. The
 walls are almost perpendicular, running down
 into the water and leaving no beach. The
 depth of the water is unknown, and it's surface
 is smooth and uurufled, as it lies 50 far below the surface of the mountain that the air cur. rents do not affect it. Its length is estimated at twelve miles, and it's breadth at ten. There is an island in the center having trees upon 1t. No living man ever has, and probably never will, be able to reach the waters edge. It lies silent, still and mysterious in the, everlasting hills like huge well, scooped by tlie hands of the giant genii of the mountains in the unknown ages gone by, and around 1t the primsval for. ests watch and ward are keeping. The visiting party fred rife several times into the water. at an angle offotty-fve degrees, and wers able to note several seconds of time from the report of the gun until the ball struck the water.-- Such seems incredible, but is youched for by some our most reliable citizens. The lake is
 certainly most remarkable curiosity :.

How LITTLE FIsH STOPPED SrEAMEs.A A curious occurrence happened to the Clare mont, the first steamboat that ascended the Hudson river. The use of steam as 6 motive power was then in its infancy, and the machin- cry for propelling boats was of course exceed ingly rough. The pipe through which wateri is pumped into the boiler was then open, and on one of the trips of this boat to Albany she sud. denly stopped, greatly to the wonderment of the engineers, who failed to detect anything ont of gear in the machinery. Finally, how ever, the mystery was explained. A little fish had been sucked up into the supply pipe, and completely filling up the passage, prevented any water reaching the boiler. What made this circumstance the more remarkable, and gained it additional prominence at the time, was the fact that but the Sunday previous to this accident, an eminent divine in, New, York observed in the course of his sermon that the force of Christianity could no more be stop ped by infdelitY than the steamboat upon the Hudson could be stopped by one of the little fishes that swim it's waters.' The illustration however, though striking, from the fact that the invention was then uppermost in the minds of every one, was certainly an unfortunate one for the preacher. and the subject. e.,

 BI- The Superintendent of Freedmen's Af- fairs in Louisana, in making up his last ann ual Report, says he has had 1925 Blacks settled temporarily on 9,650 acres of land, who last year raised crops to the value of $l75,Oe0, and that he had but few worthless Blacks under his care-adding,: ,+, :.
 { I find that the colored people are not apt to be vagrants. They have fewer vagrants than csa be found among any other class of persons and by far the fewest beggers. The class usually called vagrants by the police and the courts are industrious and self-support- ing.' .@,5f 57 .. .sg, 15.,'.r1s.. .,s, ., ,.,;. When lthelast Rebel army. surrendered, he sent assistants to Red River to collect and pro- vide for the Blacks, 80 suddenly freed. At every place the Blacks promptly went to work and soon ceased altogether to draw Govern. ment rations. The Assistant at Shreveport sooa July 2d) wrote as follows: s
 There is great demand for labor now, and there are no idle freedmen about the city. Not a ration has been drawn for any freedmen here except for the sick and attendants at the hos pital. y a bs.g s., "a. ,4.7ge.a; 5.-, tog,s.ts,.
 Such is the operation of the freedmen's Blu rsau; such the reason for the fendish hate it is regarded by every Copperhead and impenisent Rebel in the land.

GARIBALDrs WIFE.

I
 The story of Garibaldi's wooing is this He
 was one day sittingin the cabin of sloop on
 the lake of Santa Catharina, and looking tow. ard the shore when suddenly he saw. at farm house situated on q neighboring hill, three or fopr girls busily engaged in domestic duties.-- They were all remarkable for beauty, but one
 in particular arrested his attention for her un- common grace and loyeliness. He was still watching them when he received an order to go on shore. Immediately upoa landing, he directed his steps to the house. He was ad- mitted by the owner, whom he happened to know slightly, having met him once before.
 The impulse which had prompted him to go to the house was address the girl he had 80 ad- mired. On seeing her, he immediately be- sought her to become his wife. The girl, it seems conceived an affections as warm and sud den as he had for her. and after the lapse of . lev short days they were man and wifs.-The surname of his lovely Brazilian girl of the pro- vince of Santa Catharina, who became under such pecnGarily romantic circumstances, the
 wife of Garibaldi, has never been revealed. In all the biographies of our hero she is alone mentioned by her Christian name of Anita. She sems to have been 8 brunette of a rich warm complexion, with black piercing eyes of a beautifully rounded figure, and a sort of a queenly majesty of department; active, daring
 high-spirited and in every respect worthy of being the companion for life of such man as Garibaldi. + r: sa. Tar courage was remarkable. Ashort time ' a'lsr 'nslr ...-rriage she went through an en-

In the heat of bat tie she was standing on deck, ffourishing sa- bre, and inspiring the the men to deeds ofva- Tor, when she was knocked down by the wind .ofa cannon ball that had killed two men stan ding close by her side. Garibaldi was spring ing forward to her, thinking that he would find her corpse, when she rose to her feet cover ed with the blood of the men who had fallen close to her but quite unhurs.

And going be- low, she immediately after reappeared, driving before her the three men, overcome with shame that they should have been. surpassed in courage bys woman She accompanied her husband in all his undertakins, and died while flying with him from the Austrians.-

JosH BILLINGS D1scouRsEs CoxczRSrNa Mxx OF BIo GENIUS. "A big genius Is generally phooi be knows how to do one or two things so much that he ain't fit for anything else; i; he is like agreyhound, good orrunningfa that's all. You kant larn him snny more than yoa can an eagle; he knows how to Ri up and look at the sun without winken, because he was born so, and when he gets up on the peks of the mountain and gets well lit, you kant go tsw him, nor he won't come tew you, but thars he sets till the dinner bell rings. After dinner he dize oph agane, and you won't see him till sup per time. Ina are like mummeys, very curis kritters, and kepe a long time without splicing. If tha only had common sense, so that you could make talers or shumakers ov them, thars would be some sense ov having the breed more plenty but one or twoiz aul that iz profitable sto have on hand tew onst, and tha are enough to keep anybody uneasy about what tha ore gc- ing tew dew next. They live about 40 yeres ahed of the times, and when the world. catches up with the last one, another iz born. who spends most of his tune iu digging up the old bones that the last one had buried. About the only thing they sho enny common sense in is, that they most always die in debt to everybody. The most unfortunate thing about having biz genius on hand, iz that 50 many try to initiate them, but they don't generally get any farther up than vices, and thus one big genius suckIes thousand phools. Tha don't generally live happy, bekause they aint built right to it things as tha find them.

 INcREDUL1rY PERsoNF1ED.-There is living on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, an old man who has never been of the island, and the extent of his knowledge is bounded by the con. | fines of his home. He has been told of war between the North and South, but as he has never heard the din of battle, nor seen any soldiers, he considered it g hoax. He is inter- ly unable to read, and is ignorant to the last degree. An excellent story is told of his first and only day at school He was quite lad when a lady came to the district where his fath- CT resided to teach school. He was sent, and as the teacher was classifying the school he was called up in turn and interogated as to his former studies. Of course he had to say that he had never been to school and knew none of his letters. The school mistress gave him seat on, one side until she had finished the pre- liminary examination of the rest of the schol- ars. She then called him to her, and drew on the blackboard the letter A, told him what 1t was and wished him to remember how it look. ed. He looked atit moment, and then en- qaired (he stuttered) l: sF yraEa
