Poetry.
Count the MerciAs.


Count the mercies, count the mercies,
Number all the gifts of love;
Keep daily, faithful record
Of the comforts from above
Look at all the lovely green spots
In life's weary, desert way;
Think how many cooling fountains
Cheer the fainting heart each day.
Count the mercies, count the mercies,
See them strewn along the way.
See. oh, see how rich the beauties
In the charming scenes Of earth.
Think of all the untold blessings
Clustering round our home and hearth
Think Of friends and precious kindred
To our hearts SO dear, SO sweet;
Think of heavens unnumbered comforts
Can you al the lis; repeat?
Count the mercies, countthe mercies,
Making bright paths for our feet.
Count the mercies, though the trials
Seem to number more each day;
Count the trials, too, as mercies,
Add them to the grand array.
Trials are Gods richest blessings,
Sent to prompt our upward flight,
As the eaglet's nest all broken
Makes them fly to loftier height.
Count them mercies. greatest mercies,
That bring heaven ithin our sight.
Count them nercies that shall sever
Cords which bind our spirits down.
Causing US below to grovel,
And forget our heavenly crown.
Let all earthly ties be riven,
Nests be broken, bones decay,
If to God our hearts be driven,
If from earth we soar away.
Count them mercies, wondrous mercies,
Urging US the heavenward way.
Oh, what richer, purer comforts
Better far than those of earth
Joys unfaiiing, hopes enduring,
Treasures Of surprising worth;
Beams of bright celestial radiance
From the central source of light,
Spreading o'er each scene Of sadness d.
Halos gladdening TO the sight.
Precious mercies, priceless treasures,
Bringing US such rich delight.
Let US number Ger our jewels;
Let us estimate their worth
Let US thank the precious Giver.
Strewing blessings Ger the earth.
Let our hearts o'erfiow with gladness,
Let US tell the wonders DER,
Till our multiplying mercies
Seem a countless, bounGless store;
Then let praises, grateful praises,
Be our language eyermore.

asked if they really worked hard, or. if
it was the romance of "roughing it."
"They sought work. said my informant,
"thcy work like gally slaves A great
deal of English capital has been invested
here, which together with the salubri-
ETY. of the climate, and the beauty
of the scenery. has attracted a
very good class from that country to
settle here. A large share not only in
railroads, but in lands, are held by their
capitalists. A villa is to be erected at
Manitou Springs this summer for an
English Lord, and an heiress from that
country is just completing a beautiful
residence there. In riding, last week,
we called at the house of a German
Baron, and found him hoeing weeds in
his garden, and his lady at work in the
kitchen.

Select Story.
A Woman's Courage.

The blood red light of sunset was
mirroring itself in crimson splashes in
the turbid tide of the great Western riv-
er the blackbird was sounding its sweet
whistle through the old primeval forests ;
aud Jonathan Beers. sitting by his cabin
door, smoked his solitary evening pipe,
and thought vaguely of the church bells
that used to ring at evening time in the
far old Eastern village where he had been
born and brought up, with the roar of
the Penobscot Bay in his ears.
I'D like to hear them bells once again

it amt likely I'll ever go back again.
Even while these disjointed medita-
tons passed through his mind there was
light step on the cabin threshold. and
the rustic of stiffly starched pink calico,
and his niece Dorothy came to the door
"Tea's ready, uncle dear said she,
land I've baked a real New England
cornbread, and some ginger-snaps, such
as grandmamma used to make. And
see, uncle, I've sliced up the little red
peaches from the tree you planted your
self on the south side of the hill. Israel
Esmayne said it wouldn't grow. but it
has. mean to keep saucerful and a
little cream for Israel to night, just to
show him"
Old Jonathan laid down his knife and
fork.
! ''Do you mean that Israel Esmayne is
coming here to night"
Yes uncle" said Dorothy, STOPPING
to recover tea spoon she had dropped
a slim tea spoon with an antique silver
shell carved on ite handle-and coming
up very rosy from the search. why

Il mean, child. that I'd rather lay you

Jonathan Beers, although his tone be-

A VENERABLE gentleman who alta

A VENERABLE gentleman who attain
ed the age of ninety, once said in our
hearing that he attributed the preserva-
ton of his life to this remarkable period
to the circumstance that his constitution
was naturally so delicate that he was
unable to violate any law of health with
out feeling the effect at once. He was
obliged to pay the penalty Immediately.
This made him very careful. In youth
he was so feeble that be would gladly
have compromised his chances of long
life for a certainty of forty years. But
his strict observance of what his health
had gradually strengthened his
constitution. and at ninety he was hale
and hearty.

mayne, one summer afternoon-and she
hangs up the white lantern. And there
she stands. with her heart beatin' fit to
choke her, till the freight gets off. And
she calls to one of the brakemen. Set
these ere right for the express, says she.
Quick or there may be a thousand

Dotty. And so she comes back arter

she. i don't sleep this night, says my

iii choked voice. God be thanked for
all his mercies.
"Was it fit ?" said the old man, cur.
iously 'How did it come on 2
But Israel Esmayne spoke no word on
the subject, either then or ever. he mar
ried Dorothy Beers in the spring, and he
has sacredly kept his vows. If he lives
to be hundred years old, he will still
keep it. And Dotty, though she never
knew it, had redeemed him.

The Apache Situation.

Although Gen. Crooks small force has been made smaller by the withdrawal of five companies of the First Cavaly, he will use every effort to make the Indians keep the peace. Scouts will be kept out in every di- rection and strict watch will be kept over the reservations, to see that Indians thereon receive their full allowance of provisions, etc.
 Of late, we have heard that the Walla- pals have been swiDdled out of some beet and flour, and that the knowledge of this came very near driving them to the noun tains The agent at White Mountains has to be guarded by soldiers Cachse's agent is Cachise's creature, and, of course, does as Cachise desires him to do. Dr. Williams, agent at Verde, is, we believe, an honest, conscientious man, but rumor says that he is slow to set the Indians at work on their lands, and that idleness is liable to breed discon- tent among them.
 These being facts, it is easy to foresee the new trouble that Crook IS aiming to avert. and it is very depressing to know that at this time, Government steps in and weakens hls power to awe the savages and keep them from again engaging in war,-a war, which if insugurated will be thrice as vindictive, thrice as destructive of life and property as that which Crook has just ended, for, be it known that many of the savages are now skilled in the use of improved weapons, many vf which they have hidden away in safe places,

From the Lava Beds.

Late news from the Modoc Thermopylae, when sifted down, is about as follows:
 May Q, a courier reached Yreka with news that on the 9th instant, the Modocs had made sortie on supply train, attacked and wounded three of the escort, captured eleven mules, three horses, and took and burned three wagons.
 After this came the word that the Modocs had fed to Clear creek, which news has since been contradicted.
 We regret to learn that Dr. Semig has had to have his leg amputated below the knee.
 A San Francisco despatch of May 9, says that the bodies of Captain Thomas and Lieut. Howe reached that city last night. That of Capt. Wright was taken charge of by his friends at Sacramento. The others are lying in state at the Army Headquarters.
 Lieutenant Harris, wounded in the last fight, is in a critical condition.
 The companies sent out to get the bodies of Lieutenant Cranston and his men found the remains so decomposed that they had to bury them on the field.
 At tsunrise, May 10th, the Modocs, thirty in number, attacked Captain Hasbrouck's camp, rode within one hundred yards, dis mounted and gave volley after volley, killing four soldiers, one Warm Spring Indian and stampeding the animals also wounding six soldiers and one Warm Spring warrior A charge was sounded and rally made. Mckay came up and united with Hasbrouck's forces, and drove the Modocs from the field toward the Mcclure mountains, and entirely out of tue Lava Bed. One Modoc was left on the field. Six bodies were packed away. The troops captured 2l ponies and mules. Jack was dressed up in General Canby's uniform.
 Bogus Charlie was seen again, but not cap tured. He says he killed three soldiers and one Warm Spring Indian. He don't want to fight any more, but if the whites want to fight, be is ready.

Withdrawal of Troops.

Government has so much faith in the ability of Gen. Crook to keep down our Indians that it has already dyestcd him of many of his arms-those belonging to five companies of the First Cavalry, who sre ca route to the Modoc country. This leaves the General with force of about 2,0O0 men, to garrison posts, do escort duty, scout, protect cOun- try 300 miles in length by about 2O0 in width, and look after between 10000 and 0,OUO Indians, pot over 3,OO0 of whom can be trusted 10 keep the peace This, too, at a time when the notorious Cachise is laying plans fOr general war, and firing the hearts of all Indians upon reservations who pay at tention to the words of hatred of whites that escape his lips. And where do these troops gol To the lava beds, to aid over 1000 soldiers to subduc Captain Jack and hls 50 or G0 followers Shade of Washing ton How such an order and such move reflects on the military genius" who issued it. Take from Arizona some 50U men, and leave thousands in the East. to play soldier How well must Crook feel over this nasty movement to weaken his power for holding the Apaches in check How "mildly dc our people comment upon this "masterly stroke of policy" while knowing that befor, | the withdrawal of these gallant troops, Crook force was scarcely sufficient for the work il had to perform. Upon our soul, it appear to US as If it were the work of fatal ''peace' commissioners to open anew the wounds 0 this Territory, which Crook has just band aged. Nevertheless, we shall be pleased an, not scared, if the War Department will keel the two regiments now in the Territory u
 to the maximum, and keep on permittin, Gen. Crook to work our Indian allies. w
 shall be rejoiced if the time comes when WI
 shall know that the protectors of which W
 have been stripped shall have locked horn
 with the Modoc devils and thrown them int
 those imaginary chasms, of which othe troops have been so shy.

Concerning Cachise.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-The Commissioner of Indian Affairs has received copy of a protest from Pesquera, Governor of Sonora, to Governor Stafford of Arizona, against the terms of the treaty with Cachise, the Apache chief It recites a long list of Apache atroc- itles committed on the people and the prop erty of the State of sonora. Commissioner Smith says it is all mistake. If isolated members of Cachisc's band committed dep relations in Sonora, they had done so with out that chiefs sanction.
 But, Mir. Smith, how about the solemn ob- ligation of our Government to protect the frontiers of Sonora and Chihuahua from Apache murderers and robbers2 Again, Lit is all a mistake" of yours to imagine that Cachise cannot control isolated il members of hls tribe, or that they have, since date of the Howard treaty, murdered over 100 Mex jeans without his (Cachisc's) "sancton.n .n Why, it is scarcely month since he informed representatives of Gov. Pesquera that he could not, and would not think, for a mo- ment, of dispensing with the pleasure of murdering Mexicans, and the profits of rob ping them
