Mr.. Chambliss then made an
eloquent appeal to the children, to
give God their hearts-to get
religion, that they might have
their names enrolled amongst the
chosen of the Almighty.
"On a certain battlefield, during
the late war, a friend was bending,
in tender solicitude, over the
wounded form Of a beloved COM
panion, who, though not fully
conscious, kept .cxclaiming, in a
subducd tone, here, here, here p"
"What's the matter? Why do
you say, here, here, here q" inquir-
ed that friend.
"Why," said the wounded man,
"they are calling the ROLL in
HEAVEN, and I am answering to
my name. It is there"
"Then, after a time, he COM
menced repeatingthe exclamation,
here, here, here' and the soldiers
spirit went away, went away"
LEARN to love Jesus, my dear
children and hearers; then you,
too, may answer, there, here, here,'
when the roll is called in Heaven"
We believe, aye, we know that
every person connected with St.
James Sabbath School-particu-
Iarly the bright eyed, intelligent
girls and boys-will be glad to
have Mr.. Chambliss visit their
every time he chances to
be in the City; therefore, III behalf
Of the little ones, whom our heart
loves, we invite him to come again.

No Use FOR TROUSERS. the morn
ing of the meteoric shower, in 1888, old
Peytou Roberts, who intended making
an early start to his work, got up in the
midst of the display. On going to his
door he saw with amaZement the sky
lit up by the falling meteors, and he conclu-
ded at once that the world was on fire, and
that the day ofjudgement had come. He
stood for moment gazing in speech!eSs
terror at the scene, and then with a yell
of horror sprang out of the door right
in the midst Of the falling stars, and
there he commenced q series of ground
tumbling that would have done honor to
Dan Castcllo's ring.
His wife being awakened in the mean
time, seeing Peyton jumping and skip
ping about the yard, bawled out to him
to know "What in the name of common
sense he was doin' out thar dancin'
round, without his clothes on" But
Peyton heard not. The judgement ard
long back accounts he would have to
settle made him needless of all terrestrial
things; and his wife, by this time, be-
coming alarmed at his behavior, sprang
out Of the bed, and running to the door,
shriekcd out at the top Of her voice:
"Peyton, | say Peyton, what do you
mean jumpin' about thar? Come and
put your breeches on"
"Breeches what the DEVILS the use
of brecehes when the world is on fire ?"

CONE AGAIN.

NJ E, Sunday School was attended
by a very large assemblage of
people-old and young-all of
whom seemed deeply interested
in the singing which precedes the
u exercises. At three o'clock, the
School was opened by the reading
Of the Scriptures by the Super
intendent (Mr. VIM. c. Derry,
and prayer by a stranger, whom
Mr.. D. had singled out from the
congregation, and invited to the
altar, as being a minister-Rev.
Mr.. Chanbliss.
Theprayer having been conclud-
ed, the Superintendent, in his
usual kindly manner, introduced
the visiting clergyman, who, he
said, was Pastor of a Baptist
Church in Macon.
The reverend gentleman told
the children he had oftimes heard
of their School, and that he was
rejoiced to be with them ). for the
melody of their voices had made
him happy. T. He had been reared
IN Sabbath School, and to it's in
fuenees, under the blessings Of
God, owed all that he is, or shall
be. His love for the young knew
no bounds-he felt an interest in
each and all Of them.
He had asked the worthy Super
iutendent of St. James School, to
what he attributed it's, numbers
and success J? Mr.. Derry had, in
all humility, answered ITO the
prayers and exertions Of the
te$ehers, and the singing of the
children, the latter under the
leadership Of Mr.. Broome."
The speaker was fully persuaded,
in his own heart, that these were
the essential means to success in
this particular vineyard.
Said he: There was once
captain of a vessel, who had en-
ployed a new hand, named Jim.
One evening the captain queried
the latter as follows
"Jim, do you know how to box
compass g''r
mo, SIR saw a compass at
home some time ago. but the chill
dren had broken the point off the
needle"
"Do you knowhow to guide a
vessel?" ~'
mo, sir"
"Well, jim, you see that bright
star yonder, do you not?'
Eyes, sir
"That is the North Star. Now,
take the helm, and keep the vessel
headed toward it all the time, and
we shall bessafe."
jim did as directed, and the
captain retired to his berth.
He had not been sleeping great
while, when jim came and woke
him. ~---<
The captain asked, what he
wished?
Il want another star to 60 by !;
done passed that other one long
ago." responded the helmsman.
The captain went on deck, and,
sure enough, there was the star
in the rear of the vessel, which,
under the guidance Of the un-
tutored helmsman, had turned
from her true course and was
rapidly darting in an opposite
direction.
The moral of this little anecdote
teaches us, said the speaker, to
keep our eyes steadfastly fixed
upon the star Of our destiny-the
grand object had in view, The
object Of Sabbath Schools, is the
salvation Of immortal souls, the
advancement Of the common in
terests Of the Church. We should
never pass this by, in search Of
some (suppoSeO more prominent
object; for in so doing we shall
lose our way, and the Sabbath
School will be certain to go back

FROM GREEN RIvER.-Doc Gaylord an old and
we'll resident of this city, returned early
in the week from an extensive tour of the country
eastward. On his way back he met party on
their way from the Green River country. They re-
ported having found valley sixty miles in extent,
in which some prospects were found, but the dig
gngs are not likely to prove rich. They proposed
to return in the Spring and prospect further. Doc
saw nothing of the Wind River party. His OPT n
ion of that country is not very favorable. After
all, the diggings in this Basin not only promise,
but actually pay better than any other.

GRAND RoNDE VALLEY.

= e
From Mr.. j. R. Wilkinson, q large Touring
mill owner of La Grande, In Grand Ronde
Valley, we have obtained some very inter-
esting statistics and information of the pres
ent produce and future prospects of that noted
Valley. The total product of the Valley for
this year, of grain alone, is over 1000, 900
bushels, of which 500, 900 bushels are wheat,
and the remainder mostly oats, with aslittle
corn and barley. The total quantity of -four
will be full 100000 barrels-almost entirely
made from white wheat of superior quality.
There are now three Touring mills in the
Valley, and two more will soon be in active
operation. Mr.. Wilkinson's mill alone will
turn out 1000 barrels of -four, from this
years wheat.
In addition to this large quantity of grain
furnishing sufficient -four to supply this
whole upper country-over 100, 900 lbs. oe
bacon have been made in the Valley, and
very large quantity of hay: Several persons
are preparing TO engage heavily in the bacon
trade next year, and the prospects for a far
greater future supply are most favorable.
There are also some who propose to turn
their attention to fruit, but it is yet to be as
certained how well the experiment will sue
coed.
The wheat product is certainly surprising
The average yield per acre the present year
mas been tritie over thirty-seven bushels
In some places fifty and sixty bushels per
acre. The average product of oats was about
seventy i've bushels, and, in one small area,
full one hundred and ten bushels per acreI
large quantity of ground will be placed
under cultivation for next years crops, and
II IS not too much to say that that Valley can
in future supply Idaho and Montana both
WITH all the Hour required. The Willamette
Valley has certainly forever lost the great.
rich -four trade of this whole country.
