Poetry.
THERE Is NO DEATH.


There Is no death The stars go down
To rise upon some falrer shore;
And bright IN Heavens Joweled crown
They shine forevermore.
Thore Is no death: The dust We tread
Shall change beneath the summer showers,
To golden rain or mellow FRUIT
Or rainbow.tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorganizo
To feed the hungry moss they bear;
The forest leaves drink daily life
From out the viewless air.
There is no death Tho leaves may fall,
The hoYersmey- -fa'le ana pass away r
They only walt. through wintry hours,
The coming Of the May.
There ia no death An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread,
He bears our best loved things away,
And then we call them "deao."
He leaves our hearts all desolate--
He plucks our faireSt, sweetest flowers;
Transpanted into bliss, they now
AdOrn immortal bowers.
The bird-ike voice, whose joyous tones
Made glad the scene Of sin and strife,
Sings now everlasting song
Amid the tree Of life.
And where he sees a smile too bright,
Or hearts too pure for taint and vice,
He bears It to that world Of light,
To dwell in Paradise.
Born unto that undying life,
They leave us but to come again;
With joy we welcome them-the same,
Except In sin and pain.
And ever Us, though unseen,
The dear, immortal spirits tread;
For all the boundless universe
Is life-there are no dead

GENERAL LoGAN.--A Chicago let

al Logan is unquestionably the most
popular man in illinois, might per-
haps say in the Northwest. He is a
politician rather than a Statesman,
but his power with the masses of the
people is something wonderful. He
fights now just as he did while under
Systematically, brilliantly and un.
ceasingly. He has hardly known a
days rest since the campaign opened"

quest of friend, receipt to cure neu-
ralgia. Halfa drachm ofsal ammonia,
in an ounce of camphor water, to be
taken a teaspoonful at dose, and the
dose repeated several times, at inter-

Miscellaneous.
The North Pole.

Two French gentlemen recently exa
plored the island of Spitzbergen in a
manner never before done. They have
measured the mountains, mapped the
whole coast, examined the vegetable
products, the geological composition,
&C., of the island. They have found
that the long day extended over sever
al months during which the sun never
sets, becoming intensely hot after a
month or two by the unceasing heat
from the sun. In this period vegeta-
ton springs up in great luxuriance and
abundance. The North Pole is only
matter of 700 miles from the island,
and it is thought by the two explorers,
as by many Others, that the pole itself,
and the sea which is supposed to sur
round it, could be reached from Spitz-
bergen without many great difficulties
being encountered. A singular fact
noticed by the explorers, in connection
with this island, is the enormous guam
titles of floating timber which literally
cover the waters ofthe bays and creeks.
A careful examination of the character,
condition, and kind of these floating
logs would, no doubt, lead to conclu-
sion as to whence and how they came,
and probably suggest new theories for
the solution of geographical problems
connected with the arctic seas.

Charles Simeon. We commend them
to worldlings, as well as to Christians

4. Always to moderate, as far as
possible, the unkindness which is ex-

5. Always to believe that, if the
other side were heard, very different
accounts would be given ofthe matter.

1t is related of a Persian King that
being at hunting seat, he was about
to have some game dressed, and as
there was no salt a servant was sent
to fetch some from neighboring vii
lage when the monarch ordered him
to pay the price of the salt, that the
exaction might not become a custom
and the village desolated. He was
asked, "From this trifle what injury
can ensue?" and replied: "Oppres-
sion was brought into the world from
small beginnings, which every new
conner has increased, until it has reach-
ed the present degree of enormity. II
the monarch were to eat single APP
pie from the garden of peasant, the
servants would pull up the tree by the
roots, and if the Sultan orders five eggs
to be taken by force, his soldiers will
spit thousand fowls. The iniquitous
tyrant remaineth not, but the curses of
mankind rest on him forever"

ANOTHER CHAPTER OF CRIME.--We
are compelled this morning to add an.
other to the long list of fatal trage-
dies, that have shocked the commu-
nifty for the past two years. Reuben
Raymond and John O. Clark were
both members of the company of Ada
county volunteers, recently returned
from scout against tho Indians
Last Monday there was a suit had in
Justices court, growing out of con-
tract with the man who furnished
transportation for the company on the
campaign. Raymond was one of the
witnesses 10 the suit. About nine
o'clock Tuesday morning Raymond
and another man had dispute in re-
gard to the testimony given by Ray
mond. After some words had passed,
Clark took a hand in the conversation,
which by this time grew to be quar-
rel, and the lie passed between Clark
and Raymond. Clark then made a
rush at Raymond and struck him or
at him, Raymond lodging and draw,
ing his pistol. Clark then drew his
pistol. Some person now came out of
the Bank Exchange saloon near by,
and was about to take the pistol from
Clark who refused TO give it up
Raymond said, "don't be afraid, I'm
not going to shoot" Clark now told
Raymond to shoot. Raymond replied
al don't want TO shoot III give you
the first shot" at which Clark snapped
bis revolver, some of the witnesses
say once, and some twice. The third
time, taking deliberate aim, he shot
Raymond through the abdomen
Raymond did not attempt to shoot at
all. He fingered until about dark oil

RETURNBD.-Messrs. X. S. Baker
and w. b. Taylor, who have been

Texas, returned last Monday eve

Mr.. Baker is hugely pleased witt
Texas, and considers it the finest
country he ever seen-not even ex.
cepting Hancock County. 1t is very
healthy and exceedingly productive.
Besides Texas, he travelled through
several other of the rehellious
States, but was more pleased with
the climate and general appearance
of the country of the former than
with any other.
AS regards the feelings Of the ex.
rebels, he thinks that--"if they had
an opportunity, they would fly to
arms with as much celebrity as they
did in 1861, the feeling is very bad
among them" Generally, however,
they think the cause hopelessly lost.
In Texas, the aristocratic rebels
don't like the terms proposed 70

the latter as terms of reconstruction,
the negro's vote could be controlled
in their interest, and be made lever
of political power.
Mr.. b., though not favoring the
above plan of reconstruction, does
not believe that the colored man
would be all that the Southerner
thinks he would. He (the negro

Already he has learned that the Ia

Time works wonders with the negro,

him in days of freedom.
Mr.. Baker had a pleasant trip, and
gained considerable insight into
affairs.
