Sing me that song no more!
My lost life l deplore; al.
Il float along the shore
OF the far lands of memory.
The wild and sad refrain
Pulses with bygone pain;
NY tears fall down like rain,
Ny struggles are in vain,
beat along the shores Of memory.
Thy wind-harp's wailing spell,
With tides that rose and fell,
Has borne me on its swell
To the far lands of memory.
Ny eyes with tears are wet,
Ny heart doth idly fret,
Ivex with vain regret;
All, might I once forget
The purple light on shores Of memory!
For can never land
Upon their golden strand,
Nor step upon the sand
OF the far lands Of memory.
For mists and fogs are met,
And ragged rocks bsset
Each harbor of regret,
And sails are never set
Which find the silvery shores of memory

Cant. Who Raised Him.

Our reporter has obtained from
Mrs. Joseph Knott, an old lady
living in this city, and nearly 70
years of age, the following account
of Capt. Jack:
In the year 1851, while living
at Cannonville, Douglass county,
ans Indian boy came to their
home, and speaking the jTgon,
desired to live with them. He
was ore of the Rogue River In
dlans, and belonged to the tribe
then located on Cow Creek. She
noticed that he appeared to be
an active, keen, shrewd.looking
boy, and with the consent Of her
husband took him to raise, with
whom he renamed several years,
AS soon as the boy was assured
that they intended to keep him,
he insisted on having a "Boston"
name, as he called it, and wished
TO be named after the best looking
of Mrs. Knott's children. This
being appreciated by the mother,
she decided to name him after
her son--thcir ages, apparently,
being about the same and this
son was j. Knott, better known as
Jack Knott, of saloon fame. The
boys grew up together, and many
were the days they spent in the
sports of the chase. On one oc-
casion, after he had been with
them some time, he became often.
ded because he was to leave the
room, and loaded his rifle with
the intention Of shooting Levi
Knott, but was discovered in sea-
son to prevent his designs.
This circumstance led to his
expulsion from the family, and
from that until the present time
he has not been seen by them,ex-
cept in 1s55,the year in which he
murdered Mrs. Harris after which
Jack went to the Goose Lake
country. His mother was a full
sister to Rogue River Jobn,who at

lumbia.while she lay at anchor in
the harbor of Crescent City, and
also a half-sister 10 the war Chief
Sam OF the same tribe, and Chief
Joe, who received his appellation
from having fought Gen. Joe
Lane. All Of these facts, and
many others which we have not
space to mention, were recently
confirmed by Judge Prim Of Eas-
tern Oregon, who communicated
these particulars to Mrs. Knott,
stating that the great Modoc Chief.

DY BAYARp TAYLOR.

Heart in my bosom beating,
Fierce, as a power at bay!
Ever thy role repeating
Louder, and then retreating,
h Who shall thy being sway?
Over my will and under,
Equally king and slave,
Sometimes l hear thee thunder,
Sometimes falter and blunder
Close to the waiting grave.
Oft in the beautiful season,
Restless thou art wild;
Oft, with never reason,
Turnest and doest me treason,
Treating the man as child!
Cold, when passion is burning,
Quick, when sigh for rest,
Kinder Of pcrished yearning,
Curb and government spurning,
Thou art lord of the breast.

The Factory Girl.
BY AMY RANDOLPH,

You see in pictures. A back

with a torrent laundering down

azure Of the sky; and a knot of
houses, with church spire at one
end, and a thickct Of factory
chilnneys at the other, whose
black smoke wrote ever.changing
hieroglyphics against the brilIian-
cy of the sky. This was Dapplc,
vale. Ard in the rosy sunset Of
this blossomy June day, the girls
were all pouring out Of the broad
doorway while Gerard Blake, the
foreman, sat behind his desk, a
pen behind his ear, and bis small
beady black eyes drawn back, as
it were, in the shelter Of a preci-
pice of shaggy eyebrows.
One by one the girls stopped
and received their pay for the
weeks work, for this was Satur-
day night. One by one they
filed out, with fretful, discomfort
ed faces, until the las: one paused
in front of the bigh-railed desk.
She was slight and tall, with
large velvety blue eyes, COM
plcxlon as delicately grained and
transparent as rose-colored wax,
and an abundance of glossy hair
of So dark brown that the casual
observer would have pronounced
it black; and there was something
in the way the blue ribbon at her
throat was tied, and the manner
in which the simple details of her
dress were arranged, that bespoke
her of foreign birth.

said Mr.. Blake, jocosely nodding,
"ahd how do you like factory

"It is not disagreeable," she
answered, a slight accent cllDging
to her tones, like fragrance to a
flower, as she extended her hand
for the money the foreman was
counting out.
"You have given me but four
dollars, she said. ut was to be
eight by the contract"
Mr.. Blake shrugged his shoul-
ders disagrecably.
"Humph!" gruntcd he; "you

moiselle Annette demanded, with
flushed checks and sparkling eyes.
"For getting you the situation,
Mademoiselle, to be sure" said
Mr.. Blake, 10 a superior sort of
way, as if he rather pitied her
lack Of information. "Such places
don't grow on every bush. And

something for the privilege"

little ones around his board. "Ycs,
Miss, he's a villain, but the world

said Annette. 81 intend to write

Simon Pettengill shrugged his
shoulders.
"'Twon't do no good, Miss,

ayes, it will" said Annette
quietly.
The petals Of the Juno roses had
fallen, a pink carpet all along the
edge of the woods, and the long
July days had come, episs Of sun
shine, jcwelled at either end by
dew and moonlight. And the Dap
plevale Works wore their holiday
guise, even down to Simon Pet
tengill's newly frightened steam
engine, for Mr.. Eldersle and his
bride were to visit the works on
their wedding tour.
"It'e pity Mamselle Annette
went away so soon.' said Simon
to his first assistant; "'cause they
say the masters kind-hearted in
the main, ard she might ha' spoke

Mr.. Gerard Blake, in his best
broadclotb suit, and mustache
newly dyed, stood smiling in the
broad doorway, as the carriage
drove up to the door, and Mr.. El-

man, sprung out, and assisted o
young lady, in a dove-colored
travelling suit, to alight.
"Blake, how are you!" he said,
with the carelessness of conscious
superiority. "Anneite, my love,
this is Blake, my foreman"
"Madcmoiselle Annette !"
And Mr.. Gerard Blake found
himself cringirg before the slight
French girl he had turned from
the factory door a month before.
81 must beg to look at the books,

"But, sir"
"Not another word" cried Ell

Mr.. Gerard Blake crept away,with
an uncomfortable consciousness
of Annette's scornful blue eyes
following him.
Elderslie turned to his wife.
"You are right, my love-" said
he, "The mans face is sufficient
evidence against him."

A Brief Sermon.

Edwin, a once popular English
actor, is credited with the author
ship of one of the briefest and
most effective sermons ever de
livered. His text was, "Man is
born to trouble, as the sparks fly
upward" and this was the sermon:
81 shall consider this discourse
under three heads; first, mans
ingress into the world secondly,
mans progress in the world |;
thirdly, mans egress out of the
world; and
First, Mans ingress into the world is naked
and bare,
Secondly his progress through the world is
trouble and care.
Lastly, His egress out Of the world is nobody
knows where.

The country towns of the Aus

and it is hardly to be expected
that they should as yet be SO,

uals, have become either we'll

No doubt there are others
which l was not able to visit.
But, generally, there is a raw
newness about these congregations
of houses, ali initiation of streets
which as yet are no more than
a deficiency in pavement and

er to dirt or to mud. an apparent
admlxture Of pretension and fail

BILE to towns founded with hopes
Of future greatness, but which
creates feeling of. melancholy
sadness in the mind of a stranger.
1t could hardly have been other
wise, and yet it gricves us to see
that they who have diligently
made their plans, intending to
produce comfort, social neatness
and sometimes even urban mag
niticence, should as yet have sue
ceeded in producing only discom-
fort untidiness and insigniticance.
In old countries such as our own,
towns have grown up almost with.
out an intention on the part of
any founder. Cities have formed
themselves of villages, because it
has suited first this man and then
that to earn his bread in this or
that locality. Consequently our
streets have been narrow and
crooked, our spaces confined and
often ill.arranged,a land our supplies
of water and air insufficient for
an increasing population. We
are daily compelled to pull down
that We may rebuild, and are al
most angry with ourselves, or
with those who went before us,
in that there has been 80 little
foresight among us as to the wants
of mankind. But it has resulted
from all this that we are not as
rule incomplete, pretentious, or
The rev coun-
tries, however, have taken a les
son from the deficiencies of the old
countries, and have commenced
their towns on certain plan, wit'sl
wide streets and large spaces,and
straight long lines, so that coming
generations of thronging people
may be able to build their houses
in spots properly prepared, and
to move about without knotting
themselves into inconvenient
crowds as mon have to do in the
old cities. When the generations
shall have come, this will be very
well, aud the wisdom of the foun-
ders will be acknowledged -but
in the meantime the new towns
are ugly and generally dirty

The Crops.

The farmers talk "blue," some Of
them, but they don't look as if they
expected very bad things, after all.
Its way our good farmer have, every
Spring and early Summer, of being
absolutely convinced that the crops are
either drowned out or dried up, but,
somehow or other, every Fall and Win
ter, they "come up smiling" with plenty
CT money to pay off liens aud other
debts, and nice little balance for new
horse or mule, buggy or wagon, and
something else beside. The truth is,
that this section is perhaps tho one in
all the country most sure to give GER
tain return to the farmers.
They never make so large crop to
the acre az IN Alabama and some other
States but then, again, they never
experience the fatal disasters 40 common
in those States. Here the average is
good. And this is, in truth, all things
considered, the best for the farmer,
Fecuniarily as we'll as morally. It tn c
farther South farmer makes 3 large
crop he is led into ali sorts of extrava.
gance-if lis crop fails he is plunged
into debt and despair.
The sure though moderate return is,
as We have said, the best in morals and
iu money matters. In medic fntissimns--
the middle course is safest.
