"A u % IS
What isit fades and fickers in the fire,
sSers s ma ae rfso'ant BREATH
"a Some word pro shetic, burned, defying death?
Lords of the forest, stalwart oak and pine.
o.. Lie down for us in flames of msrtyrlom;
human, household warmth. their death fires shine;
Yet fragrant with high memories they come
Bringing The mountain winds that in their boughs
Sang of the torrent and the plashy edge
Or storm-swept lakes; and echoes that arouse
The eagle from some spntered eyr19-ledge'
And breath of violets, sweet about their roots;
aud THY odors of the moss and fern; -.
And hum of ripulets; swell OF ilpenng Hulls;
And green leaves, that to gold-and-crimson turn.
What clear September fade ont in spark
What rare Octobers drop with every coal!
Within these cost ashes, dumb ana dark,
Are hid spring budding hope and summers soul.
Pictures. far lovelier smonlder in the fire;
Visions of friends who walked among these trees
Whose presence like the Tree AR could inspire
A winged life and boundless sympathies
Ewes with a glow like that in the brown beech,
When sunset through its autumn beauty shines
Or the blue genlians look of silent speech
To heaven appealing, as earth's light declines.
Vol ,es aud steps forever fed away
From the famili IT glens, the haunted hills
Most ptiful and strange il is to stay
Without you in world your lost love fills.
Do you forget u.s. under Eden-trees
Or in full sunshine on the hills of God
Who miss you from the shadow and the breeze,
And nts and perfumes OF the woodland sod?
Dear for your sake the fireside where we sit,
Watching these sad, bright pictures come and go /;
That waning Years are with your mem ry lit,
Is now the lonely comfort that we know.
Is it all memory? Lo, these forest boughs
Burst on the hearth into esh Leaf and bloom.
Wait vague far-off sweetness through the honse,
And givecose walls the hill-sde's breathing room.
A second life, more spiritual han the first
They find, Ii G won only out OF DEATH
o sainted souls within you still is nursed
For fame not fed by mortal breath
Unseen, you bring to this, erewhile your home,
Fresh air from the new country close above;
Through no oblivous heaven your foots cps roam
Alive in God you bless with His love.

Further Particulars Of the Late Military
Disaster-Captain Jack For

SAN FRANCISCO, January 24.-Th,
latest intelligence from the seat of the
MOdOc war is to the effect that Captain
Jack is evidently contemplating a raIC
Unto the settlements on Battle Creek
within forty miles OfUreka.
In recent fight with the Indians they
captured seven guns and a quantity O.
ammunition. Additional particulars
do not change the results first an.
nounced. witnesses say the troops
fought with determined bravery, bat
they could not see the foe.
Once only during the day did the In
dians manifest a willingness to fight
in the open field. The command
charged upon them, when they fled
back to their rocky coverts. The dense
fog protected each party, and prevented
the Indians from picking off the troops
with rifles of long range. The
Oregon volunteers, acting as rear guard,
made gallant fight, and prevented the
wounded men, howitzens and camp
equipage from falling into the hands of
the Modocs.
Captain Jack preserves regular mill
tary discipline, and drills his men every
day by the assistance of persons well ac-
quainted with military tactics and am
bushing, probably renegade whites who
have become his allies.

A very important ease, which was
tried in the Circuit Court Of Lincoln
county, of Watson, trustee. as. Perkins
ct at, is now before the Supreme Court.
and will be determined next week. The
bank had received from PerkinsusuriOus
interest on a bill of exchange. 1t was
held in the court below that this vitiated
the contract only as to the amount OF
ttsu1B recet0ed. Captain J.. w. New
man, of Fayetteville, in a very able
brief argues that the bank, having vio-
lated It's charter in receiving usury,
cannot Tec00er any part Of the debt, this
action of the bank rendering the con-
tract void. Much interest is felt among
the members of the bar in the decision of
the case.
