Hither have I come on this lovely june
morning. to this beautiful hillside slope, for
| one quiet musing hour-come from thenoise.
1 dscord and strlfe-come from the world
which is
s.Tranpling, bursting at all hours,
With taking noon tide in the shade.
No weaving rustic bowers
which thinks it a waste of time indeed. to re-
pair to the woods, valleys and fields-there TO
sit in holy communion with God and nature
communion that may be realized i'm its full
ness and blessedness, far more than III the
glare and glitter of the popular churches.
Here we may listen to ..the echo of the eter-
nal harmones," may hear ''the still small
voice. of the Infinite, and feel the loving pull
sations OF His great heart thrilling and vibrat-
ing through the temple OF our souls Here
the angels press near, and our spirits feel the
touch of their loving hands, as they whisper:
This is the way, walk We in it y
Howaittle of real happiness is to he found
in tie business wlirl, in the hurry scurry of
life. How little amid scenes of artificial
beauty, of wealth and opi,lence OF any situ-
alton or position. indeed, where love abides
not, and where a true appreciation of the
beautiful, the good, the noble and magnahi.
nous, dwells not in the soul.
ttOh my mortal friends and brothers,
We are each AM. all another's,
AMI the heart that gives most freely
From its treasures hath the more.
Would you lose your life to find it,
And, in giving love, you bind it;
Like an amulet of safety
Round your heart forsyermore. -
But business and the stern duties of rest

But the joy with which have hailed the up

GETTING GAIT FOR HoRsEs.-Thc Ameri-
can Artisan says An ingenious German
has gained great reputation in New York
by his success in training coach horses to a
grand gait. He used no burr bit or other
cruel contrivance, and people couldn't see
how he did it until it was found that he put
magnifying goggles upon his horses, which
made cobblestones look like boulders, and
they acquired grand tread by trying to step
over them.

The Great Joke or wyoming.

Correspondence of the New York San. 7 IT ~
The accident, for such it was. by which
woman suffras e became the law of Wyoming
happapalin this way: The President Of file
Council Of the first Territorial Legislature
OF Wyoming strolIpd into the office of the
Secretary of the Territory one morning in
November. 1889. To talk about local politics
Woman suffrage came in for its share of at
ton. Said the Secretary. who was stauncb
advocate of woman's rights:
"Mr. President, do you know yon have the
greatest opportunity of any man in America
to immortalize yourself?'' go go
'How?" inquired the President.
''Rv Introducing bin i'm the Council ex-
finding the right OF suffrage to women

pulled away at his cigar. Strengthened him
self. and walked to the Council chamber TO
ponder on his future greatness The bill was
drawn. introduced. and passed the first read
ing in the Conneil-more for the novelty and
notority than because the members were in
its favor. w
In the Lower House, however. the bill met
opposition. and became the subject of earnest
discussion on the part of minority. The
majority looked upon the whole thing rs a
joke of the rollicking. Secretary, and were
disposed to let him have his own fun. while
they would enjoy the big supper promised
them BY the Secretary if they would pass the
bill. Thus the bill passed. the House not
snpnosing the Council would confirm it on
it's final reading. The Council. however. did
pass the bill, whether from Indifference or
to appear consistent with its former action it
is impossible to say. rs it is equally impossi-
bic to account for most Of the laws passed by
this Legislature on any known hypothesis.
But whether joke or design on the part of the
Secretary. the members of the House were
big supper, and the bill did pass.
II only waited now for the Governors
signature under the great seal Of the Terri |
tory to make this bill alaw in the land. In
a-faw days the bill was returned with his FIX
celrncy's familiar O. K. and woman suffrage
became both fact and law in Wyoming. |
It must be said i'm explanation, that the Gov
ernor seriously supposes himself statesman
with future prospects: and like all great men |
has his hobbies. one of which is his official
signature, on which he greatly priaes him
self. though az unintelligible to an American |
as the Chinese characters on package of
tea.

GREAT ENTERPRISE IN SOUTHERN OREGON.
A letter from Southern Oregon to the San
Francisco Bulletin states that the practical
bility and advantages of irrigation will short
ly be tried on great scale in the Klamath
country. Jesse d. Carr has, made contract
with Jesse Apologize to but ditch or canal
from Lost river through Klamath Valley into
klamath river, distance of ten miles, at
cost of $4,000. This ditch will tap Lost
river at the gap of Klamath Valley and drain
Tuley Lake, into which Lost river enpties it
self, and thereby drain at least 100000 acres
of what is now known as swamp land. and
with the water of this lake and river irrigate,
through the medium of this ditch, the klam-
ath valley on the eastern side of Klamath
river. bringing at least $4,000 acres more to
yield from five to ten times the grass it does
at present, or what is more like, convert the
whole valley into wheat fields that will vie
with the Umpqua or Rogue river valleys in
and enterprise and Mr.. Applegate has the
brains and experience to accomplish the work.
So says the Albany Democrat.
Once upon time there was Yankee top
sail schooner on its way to Leghorn. which
encountered an English nobIeman's yacht
on pleasure trip in the Mediterranean.
John Bull bantered the Yankee for trial Of
speed, aud the Yankee sailed John Bull

astonished at this result, and invited the vic
torious skipper to come on board and join
him in a bottle of wine. The invitation was
accepted, and as they sat opposite 10 each
other, the Englishman generously proposed
the health Of brother Jonathan, adding

his wife, or who had seen her smile with

Paris, who, for a moderate fee would drop
poison into his soup with as much certainty
and as little remorse as his cook favored !,

There was not, for example, more con-

former the hand and dowry of Mademoiselle
Burnett, his 4 sughter. But madame herself
