How pure spirit holds this little roomi
A maiden bower wherein no stranger looks
The breath of innocence its rare perfume,
Its richest trappings, girlish toys and books
The reader sleeps-upon her lineless brow
A shadow fingers, left by study there,
But freer thoughts arise in dreaming now,
And wander outward, onward--where, ah,
where?
Back to the Iate-left beauty OF the bowers
OF childish playtime? Onward to the day
When womanhood with larger plans and
Shall take the Schoolgirls place? All, who
shall say?
God, make Thou happy, keep Thou pure and
good,
The mystic dreams of artiess maidenhood
But there are dreams wherein deep woe takes
part,
Dread dreams that fright us for some dear
ones sake,
Visions Of peril, falling on the heart
With horror, whence we trembling awake.
The wife is fearful for the husbands life,
She sees the storm the wild waves angry
CLEAN,
She sees him stand amid the tempest's strife
He falls-he sinks-ah, Heaven! it was a
dream!
The mothers heart is broken in her sleep,
A fancied peril doth her child befall
III OItdiDS sic KISSES weary eyes bldJ weep,
In dreams she answers to an anguished call.
They are not few, the terrors aud the smarts
That fill the dreams of anxious, loving hearts.
And there are dreams wherein our loved and
lost
Come back unto their olden place again;
Dreams sent from God to soothe the sorrow
crossed
And riven heart, so weary of its pain.
We hold their hands in ours, we walk with
them
Through hooks and corners of the dear old
house,
But catch no spark of the diadem
Which God hath bound upon their sainted
brows.
The homely garments which they used to
wear,
Long laid aside) do meet our sight once
more;
No flutter of the angel robe is there,
Nor faintest murmur of the far-off shore.
Too soon the dawning through the easement
CLEANS,
But God be praised for these blessed dreams!

THAT La CENTER MAIL.-The Portland
Bee says there have been complaints of irreg-
ularities in the mail at La Center. All the
mails for La Center pass through the Van
couver Office, being dispatched on Friday of
each week, after the arrival of the morning
boat, and the distribution of it's mails. We
have never heard any complaint in re-
gard to our own packages, and inquiries at
the post office here failed to elicit any show
ing why there should be any irregularities at
any time. The work at this office is done
promptly and the mails dispatched on time.
HoGGIsH. We have before remarked that
the hogs running loose in the streets of Van
couver were noted for their impudence and
industry, and the fact had a new illustra-
ton last Saturday when Forbes, the fisher
man, was taking his afternoon nap in the
shade of a tree hard by the river. One of
these energetic beasts rooted under his legs,
and rooted under his arms, and finally in an
effort to get at choice morsel, rolled him
clear over and took hold of his left ear
Forbes is fond of bacon at times, but he is
not in favor of live bacon making a meal off
him. so he beat mastery retreat to his

friends went into the regular Convention,
and that Colonel Dunn allowed his name to
be placed in nomination for permanent

which, after full discussion, was tabled by
a large majority. Messrs. Dunn, Burson,
and their friends then retired, and full set
OF delegates were regularly elected.
After the adjournment OF the Convention
the seeding party returned, held meet
ing in the same room, and passed resolu-
tons in opposition TO sending delegates to
the Congressional Nominating Convention.
II those who were opposed to sen ding del
egates to Wythcville were in the majority,
it is little strange that they failed to carry
single measure proposed by their leaders,
and did not leave the hall until they found
that they were beaten three to one. 1t is
rather an unusual proceeding for majority
to secede from minority, leaving the mi
nolity in possession Of the hall. The truth
of the matter is that A1essrs. Dunn and Bur-
son tried to break up the Convention in the
interest of McMullin and signally failed.
Colonel Dunn admitted in the Convention
that he supported McAIulin in opposition
to General Terry, the regular Democratic
nominee; and Mr.. Burson is known as
Dunn-Mc bIuIlin man-Dunn first, and then
McMullin. It is not at all strange that an
aspirant whose claims have always been
ignored by the Democratic conventions,
should be opposed to holding conventions
and men who have been in the habit OF
supporting Independents against the reSu-
lar nominees, have no business in con-
vention any way. will farther state that

Communism.

Some OF the Virginia papers are advc-
eating the formation OF Grcenback clubs in
this State, the platform OF which embraces
the essence OF Communism as taught in the
North. The fifth resolution says:
''The increasing poverty OF the working
elias :cS is attributable, in great degree, to
the monopoly Of the sou-the natural source
OF wealt!l-and therefore we demand the
adoption of Land-iimitation laacS."
It is true that this resolution is not gene
rally printed in the platforms circulated in
this section, because many OF our voters are
agriculturists and might object to f0rcible
division of their lands among the Commu-
nists, to enable them to live without labor
at the expense OF the industrious farmer and
trucker; nor is the thorough endorsement
by this party OF high protective tariff in
cluded in the preamble and resolutions in
tended to catch southern supporters, yet
they are openly advocated in the large cities
OF the North, where landlords are not so
numerous and where the Protectionists are
in power.
Our people are not apt to be caught in
the political traps OF the demagogues OF
modern days, andwc trust that every voter
in this section will examine the doctrines
and intentions of this new ism before they
let 60 their old associations and find too
late that seltishness is at last the ground
work Of this pretended love for the poor
man.-NorJolE Ledger.

Resumption and The StlUer Question: En-.
bracing a Sketch OF the Coinage and OF
the Legai-Tender Currences OF the United
States and other Nations. a Hand Book
for the Times. BY HENRY Y. Poor. New
York: FL. V. & H. w. Poor. 1873.
This book is we'll worth reading. Some
OF its views seem to us to be sound, and
some unsound. $50 many men, so many
minds" appears to be the rule in regard to
financial questions. Theories which strike
one man as foolish, visionary. utopian, and
unworthy Of notice, bear to other men the
semblance of an entirely different kind Of
thing. We quote the following passage as
giving an idea OF the theories OF Mr.. Poor !:
Government, according to the Greenback
party, is to undertake to provide such an
amount Of its notes that labor is to receive
its adequate reward; in other words, soci-
ETY. is to provide the means for the support
Of every one who may claim to be out OF
work. II so, those to be provided Tor Will
soon vastly outnumber all others. The real
question is whether we shall, without de-
Law, turn ourselves into q nation OF comml'
spists--attempt, we should say, for all such
Dropositions are but the dreams OF mad
men. There might be some apology for an
attempt to realize communism by means OF
industrial organizations; but an attempt to
realize 1t by means OF an unlimited issue OF
paper money would, instead OF making us
a nation OF communists, make us a nation
Of cut-throats, preying upon each other,
till society became SO exhausted as TO be
only too glad to escape from its fearful con.
tiition at any price, even that OF grinding
despotism. Are the property-hclders, the
farmers, those upon whom, in this sorely'
taxed land, rest the burdens OF government
and society, prepared to accept, or tolerate
even, creed, the effect, and on the part Of
the leaders the object, OF which is to en-.
| courage the moro laWless and dangerous
passions Of our nature. and which, il tri
umphant, cannot fail to subYert alike al
property and order ~
While communism is one OF the greatest
dangers that can menace "a State, it is nj
ways the product Of bad government or OF
some greut social wrong. The people never
lsrise up against the Government, against tht
texisfing order OF things, without great pro.
l;yocations. III they did, both Government
