HARRrsBuRoH.-on last Saturday, through
The pOliteness of D. NJ. Thompson, Esq,
we were invited to a seat in his buggy for a
ride to Harrishurgh, TO attend the funeral Of
Mr. Thomas Martin. Passing up through
rho pleasant and quiet town of Peoria,
which is situated in a romantic grove on the
''classic banks of the bright Willamette, u
and traversing some of the finest and richest
country in the world, we arrived at Harris.

'buFgh is thrifty, growing and beautiful
town, and contains some business houses
which will compare favorably with any
store in Albany, while the private residen.
ess are generally neat, new, and some of
them of superior construction. 1t is one of
the most extensive shipping points on the
upper Willamette; and the country sur.
rounding it is rich and productive to re-
markable degree. We predict q brilliant
and successful future for that section of
''old Linn" The funeral of Mr.. Martin
was the largest We have witnessed in Oregon,
there being procession Of vehicles about a
half mile in length, besides about fifty per-
sons on horseback. The services were con-
Quoted by the Masonic fraternity, of which
deceased was bright and worthy member.
Grand Master Avery Smith, of Eugene, pre-
sided over the ceremonies, and the most pro-
found attention was paid to the services by
the entire concOurse of people. Deceased
leaves q widow and ten children to mourn
his loss, besides large circle of friends in
that locality, where he was known and es.
tsemed for his many virtues.

What Constitutes He'll.

Mr. Norman Macleod is accredited with
the following: Let the fairest star be select
ed, like the beauteous island in the vast and
shoreless sea of the azure heavens, as the fu-
ture home of the criminals from the earth,
and lot them possess what they most love,
and all that it is possible for God to bestow
let them be endowed with undying bodies,
and with minds which shall ever retain their
intellectual powers let no Saviour ever
press his claims upon them, no God reveal
himself to them, no Sabbath ever dawn upon
them, no saint ever live among them, no
prayer ever be heard within their border,
but let society exist forever, smitten only by
the lepresy Of hatred to God, and with utter
selfsshHlness as its all pervading and eternal
purpose--then, as sure as the law Of righte-
BUSINESS exists, on which rest the throne Of
God and the government of the universe, as
society 50 constituted must work for itself a
hell Of solitary and bitter suffering, to which
there's no limit except the capacity Of a finite
nature alas the spirit that is without love
to its God or its neighbor, is already posses
sed by power which must at last create for
its own self-torment a worm that can never
die, and fire that can never more be
quenched.

WHAT IS MAN What is man Nothing
I cannot compare him to anything. His
existence on this earth is momentary.-
Science teaches us that in $500 years mora
grand deluge will end his race, and make
him fossil. You think this an idle tale,
but it is not. Astronomy shows that the
earth is oscillating in the angle of its axes to
the sun in periods of $1,000 years. The
zones are undergoing constant change
Now, at the North Pole it is growing colder
each year, and at the South Pole warmer.
Thus an immense accumulation of glaciers
or icebergs at the North Pole will result,
while at the South they will not form at all.
In $500 years the glaciers will have accu-
INFLATED SO much that it will suddenly over
balance the earth. Then the waters of the
sea will rush from the South to the North,
and there will be deluge. The last deluge
of which we have tradition was produced
in this manner, only the conditions were re-
versed-the South Pole becoming the hcav-
lest. Formerly the poles we're the equator !;
now it is reversed. The same reverse will
occur again, and new formation of land
and water will result. mention these facts
to show the insignifcance Of man.-A

AN OLD TINE lNcIDENT-One of the
most thrilling "reminiscences of the annals of
the American Revolution, is recorded Of
General Peter Muhlenburn, whose ashes re-
pose in the burying ground ofthe old Trap
pie church, in Montgomery county, Penn
,sylyrnla. When the war broke out, Muh-
lenburn was the rector Of a Protestant Epis-
copal Church in Dunmore county, Virginia.
On a Sunday morning he administered the
communion Of the Lords supper to his
charge, stating that in the afternoon of that
day he would preach sermon on 'The du-
ties men owe to their country" At the ap-
pointed time the building was crowded with
listeners. The discourse was founded upon
the text from Solomon. s'There is a time
for every purpose and for every work" The
sermon burned with patriotic FIRE; every
sentence and information told the speakers
doep earnestness in what he was saying
Pausing moment at the close of his dis
course, he repeated the words of his text and
in tones of thunder exclaimed: "The time
to preach IS past; the time to fight has GOMEZ"
and, suiting the action to the world, he
threw from his shoulders his episcopal robes
and stood before his congregation arrayed in
military uniform. Drumming for recruits
commenced on the spot, and it is said that
almost every male of suitable age in the
house enlisted forthwith.

TIE LION IN HIS OLD AeE.-When a
young lion reaches the age Of two years, he
is able to pull down horse or an OK !; and
so he continues to grow and increase in
strength till he reaches his eighth year, when
his talons, teeth, and name are perfect, and
he grows no more. For twenty years after
he arrives at maturity his talons. and fangs
show no signs of decay but after that he
gradually grows feeble, his teeth fail him,
and he grows ''cubbish." He is no longer
match for the tremendous buffalo; he
proNls around the cattle krawls, and snatch
es a lamb Or kid just as he did when he
set out with his parents, nearly thirty years
before. A woman Or child at light shares
the same fate. His strength and sight now
decline more and more, till the mighty lion
grows lean and NANCY, and orawls about
from place to place, eating any ofal he can
pick up, and despising not even so small an
animal as the feld-mouse and he starves
and dies, or is fallen on and slaughtered by
few cowardly hyenas, OR is discovered un-
able to move beneath tree, and knocked
on the head by some wandering Kafir.-

Il SULPHUR FOR HoGs-Whether hogs re-

or whether it is sought by them as a condi
ment, may not be known for certainty. But
one thing is sure, they devour it with greed
whenever it is to be found. 1t is for this
purpose, probably, that they eat large guam
titles of soft coal, which contains large
amount of sulphur. Perhaps this is the
economical method of supplying hogs with
sulphur during the winter, when they require
good deal of carbon. But in the summer
it is better to feed it to them in substances
which contain less carbon, on account of their
producing less heat.

A Tribute to General Lee.

The celebrated English scholar, George
Long, has recently published new and re-
vised edition Of his translation of the
Thoughts of the Emperor M. Aurelius
Antonius." In his preface he complains
that the American reprint of his book has
been dedicated by the publishers without
consulting him, and then adds the following
eloquent tribute to General Lee:
l have never dedicated book to any man,
and if [ dedicated this, should choose the
man whose name seemed to me most worthy
to be joined to that Of the Roman soldier and
philosopher. might dedicate the book to
the successful General who is now the Pres
ident Of the United States, with the hope
that his integrity and justice will restore
peace and happiness, so far as he can, to
those unhappy States which have suffered 50
much from war and the unrelenting hostility
Of wicked men. ~,
q But, as the Roman poet said,
Il Victrix causa Deis placuit, sed victa Catoni,
and if I dedicated this little book to any man,
[ would dedicate it to him who led the Con-
federate armies against the powerful inya-
der, and retired from an unequal contest de-
feated, but not. ,dishonored to the noble
Virginia soldier, whose talents and, virtues
place him by the side of the best and wisest
man who sat on the throne of the Imperial
Caesars, .ieeL4 .!,.t7aadza lil4.o4ln9t -.
