GROWING OLD,

softly oh, softly, the years have swept by thee,
Touching tnee lightly with tenlarest care.
Sorrow and death did they often bring nigh thee,
1e' lAeE nave ieft thee Out beauty TO wear
Growing oil gracefully,
Gracefully far.
Far from the storms That are lasbjn1 the ocean
Nearer each day 70 the pleasant home light;
far non The waves that are big with coInmOtiOn.
Under fuA sail and harb5r in sight,
Growing oil cheerfully,
Cheerful and bright
Past al the winds tirt were adverse and chilling
Past all the islands that Iured lhee % rest,

Far from the pert and the land Of tine blest
Grcwlng Cd peacefully,
Peaceful and blest.
Never feeling Of envy OF scrruw
Wien the bright taces OF children are seen
Never year from their youth wOultst thou borrow:
Thou doSt remember what lerh between.
Growing old willingly,
Gladly, Ween.
Rich in experience that angels might oovet,
Rich III Il faith that has grown with thy years,
Rich IN the love that grew from ami above it,
Soothing thy sorroWs ami hushing thy fears,
Growing old WellthIly,
Loving and dear
Hearts at the sound Of thy coming are ljghtened;

SEVENTEEN CHILDREN SAVED.
Lee says seventeen children were saved,
and were delivered 10 Dr. Forney, who
promised 70 take them 10 friends in Missouri
and Nebraska. He says the massacre was
the resnlt Of military orders, Utah then being
under martial law by order of Brigham
Young; that Johnston's army being on the
East, Echo Canyon, and an invasion being
expected from the West by way of Califor-
MIA, the Mormon people were in a state of ex-
citement, and acted as desperation predicted.
Attorney Bishop alleges that Les offered TO
give the prosecution the names OF several of
the murderers, and where they could be
found, as he believes.

THEN AND NOw.-One of the most inter
estiBg features Of the excavations II the
buried city Of PVmpeii Is the discovery Of
many hoInely domestic articles, OF which we
have counterparts. It Is astonishing how
many things IN common Use now were in use
then. Here you will see almost every kitchen
uteusil-pOr5able cooking stoves. Jelly, cake
and butter InOUlds IN the imitation of birds
and flowers, pos, kettles, crooks, dishes, cups
and ssucers, spoons, knives and forks, dip
pers, sklmmers, s4ucepans, fryinS-pans, lamps,
lamp stands, flesh hooks, brsziers for charcoal
in word, pretty much every kitchen,
dining-room, or chamber article found in
modern use entered into the economy Of the
daily life of Roman antiquity. All the art
cles of lady's toilet, including iewelry Of
all kinds, gold and silver ornaments, cOrals
and precious stones, We're found IN the houses
Of Pompeii. Taken from the retail shops
were steelyards. balances, weights, and meas
ures From a doctors Office we're recovered
full set Of surgical instruments, including
"pulikius " for extracting teeth, and trepaus
for drilling holes in the skull. There are
any number of shoemaker, tailor, cnrpenter,
and blacksmith tools, and, indeed, imple-
meuts Of almost every present mechanical
operation. Taken altogether, the collection
of articles taken from the dead city Is q su--
prislng revelation to every one, showing that
the ancients invented and perfected ten thou
sand implements and articles Of common life
which we still uss with little improvement

BIELE WINE.-In the recent synod of the
United Presbyterian church of Scotland there
w.s an animated, and towards It's close, 4
very heated debate on the old topic Of bible
wine, - involving the question Of the use Of
the fermented grape for sacramento! purposes.
The use # fermented wine at the Lords
Supper It was argued BY some Of the disput-
ants justifias Its general Use, and Is IEcousist-
ent gith the doctrine Of total abstinence.
Professor Cal1erwooi, of the University Of
Edinburgh, took strong ground in favor Of
fermented wine a. the only true Bible wine,
and he carried his point, the synod by de-
ci>ive vote refusing 10 sanction the Use Of
unfermented grape juice as an aPProPrilte
symbol of the blood Of Christ This action
Of the legislature Of The Scottish Church will

taken place in Yamhill county, the parties to
the revolving crime being a man named Reed

man who arrived here yesterday from the
vicinity where the crime was committed,
furnishes the following additional partieu-
lars: Reed, the unnatural and inhumau
father, resides on the North YamhiIl, some
distance from Lafayette. He is the father of
two daughters, the oldest of whom is 10
years of age. During the absence a few
days ago Of all the members Of the family
with the exception of Reed and the Oldest
daughter, he father made improper advances
toward the girl. His Infamous proposals
were Indignantly repelled by the daughter
Failing 10 accomplish his incestuous designs
by gentle means, he invoked the authority of
parent. The daughter defied his authority
and refused to obey. when the father drew "A
pistol and threatened to shoot her dead unless
she submitted TO his wishes. Rather than lose
that which was dearer to her than life, the
re-olute girl tuld him 20 shlOr, saying she

of $1,000. Reed, at last accounts, was unable
to furnish the required bonds, and was lying

felt and expressed by the people in that sec

placed in Jail rkey would undoubtedly have
dealt with him as his crime desarved.-Oye-

We attempted, in December, 1873, to 'ex.

deposits and Walker attempted to cover
itup. We had every confidence that IN
earnest investigation would dovelOpe
malieasance In office on the part Of the
Treasurer and possibly also on the part
Of the Auditor. And SO it has turned
out. The Investigating Committee have
unearthed certain transactions showing
that John S! Burdett, tho Treasurer, re-

and that his son, the clerk land present

Cabell, cashier Of the Merchants Bank,
and $500 from another bank. Also that
Bennett, the Auditor, received $500 in
some corrupt transaction. ~

would consume weeks in case tho guilty
officials saw iii to contest the case, We
presume therefore that they will hang on
