The festal board il wreath'd around with flowers

Those dark and allen hours.
Awake sweet lutte and harp

For Eden's blissful gates have opened wide
To this lost child OF earth

WHO stands without with noble mIeu and brow?

The sons Of God, who with the morning stars

So holy and so pure,
faultless before the sapphire throne they stand
Hating all sin. they would uproot the tares
with nm unspariug hand.
They cannot understand
Orsympathize with our dark guilt aud shame;
only the Fathers love that pitieth
our weak and trembling frame.
They have no stain Of earth

No sins to be forgiven.

Every DAY knowledge.

How many chlldren--or grown people
either, Tor that natter-reared in the city or
in large towns, can tell the names and de
scribe the characteristics of all our common
birds, not to mention the wood birds and
small wild animals 2 How few can tell the
names OF our forest trees, or flowers that
deck the fields and make the shady wood
hooks lovely The aromatic plants and
roots the numerous family OF graceful
ferns; the sea-shelis aud mosses the small
fruits aud berries even the ordinary indus
tries of the farmer-all these and many
other kindred out-oi-doors things afford
themes of delight and profitable study. Let
every father aud mother take it up with the
children, aud learn TO tell every bird by its
note and appearance; TO know its habits aud
the cheerful routine of its happy and busy
life.-Gohien Rule.

The Old Landmarks.

Our forefathers were particular about
maintaining landmarks; they had strong no
tious about fixed points Of revealed doc
trne, and were very tenacious of what they
believed TO be Scriptural; their fields were
protected by hedges aud ditcheS. but their
sons have grubbed up the hedges, filed up
the bitches, laid all level, and played at leap
frog with the boundary stones. The school
of modern thought laughs at the ridiculous
positiveness of Reformers and Puritans; it
is advancing in glorious liberality, and be-
fore long will publish a grand alliance be-
tween heaven and hell, or, rather, an anal
gamation of the two establishments upon
terms of mutual concession, allowing false
hood and truth to lie side by side, like the
lion with the lamb. Still, for all that, my
firm, old fashioned belief is thai some doc
trines are not true-that when No" is the
fact. " Yes" is out of court and that when
Yes" can be justified, "No" must be
abandoned. believe that the gentleman
who has for so long time perplexed our
courts is either Sir Roger Tichborne or some
body else | am not yet able to conceive of
his being the true heir and an impostor at
the same time. Yet in religious matters the
fashionable standpoint is somewhere in that
latitude -SDurDeOu,

failing current to the place of his

Mr.. Schroeder's plan especially
adapts it to to the great mid-air sail
ing route between Europe and Amer
lea, aud to demonstrate the feasibili-
ty, the Professor is building a bal
loon and car in which to take h s de-
parture from New York at an early
day, for point in Europe of even
latitude. From both sides of the
Atlantic he has received applications
from responsible scientists who de-
sire to accompany him on his trial
voyage. Whether or not this latest
attempt at aerial navigation will
prove the successful one, time, of
course, only can determine. Flying
machines, like sewing machines,
have had a pretty good day of
it; in the former case, however,
the end is yet far in the distance.
In the face of so many difficulties
and failures, this persistency on the
part of experimenters is refreshing
and hopeful. We shall see what

IL Political Aspect.

Ferry 10 a candidate for the nomin-
ation-although We have been 10th
to believe it, in the face Of his EN-
phatic assurances that be never would
be a candidate for the Office under
any circumstances. His friends are
too active, ard the notes of prepar-
alton too loud, to longer doubt that
they presage war. The friends Of
Judge Wingard are just as enthu-
siastic, and in any event the sore
heads will be numbered by the reg
iment, and their wounds incurable.
The Dispatch supports Gov. Fer
~, of course; but the way it does
it is remarkable, to say the least.
Its venerable editor declares that by
so doing he is subscribing the in
terest of democracy, and this has
been his refrain ever since he and
his son were given fat stalls at the
Republican crib. How q man can
have the impudencc to ladle out
such i" flapdoodle" to his patrons is
more than we can understand. The
ideal Mr.. Dorrit never, in all his fan
tastic decisions, was guilty of folly
like this.
The Press recants all it charges
against Gov. Ferry, thus furnishing a
plentiful supply of whitewash at the
most opportune time for its protested
enemies. If it has not got the wire
edge worn off by this experience, it
might as well lay down its tools. 1t

Butter is described in books as be-
ing the I" oily part of milk" me-
chanically extracted by agitation, a
process two well known to be noticed
here. To speak little more scien-
tifcally, we might say that butter
contains, as it's ruling continents,
stearine, margarine, oleine and a
principle peculiar to itself, called
butyrine. The last named substance
is colorless oil which forms at abont
80 degrees Fahrenheit. To this prin-
ciple is due the peculiar odor of
melted butter.
Butter also contains traces of a
few other substances, in small pro-
portions, but so minute in quantity
as not to be considered essential to
the existence of good article of but
ter. Now it will be seen at glance
that, to make good butter is merely
to separate from the milk the con-
stituents we have named, duly united
aud free from all impure foreign
matter.
From the story of Paradise, as
told by Milton, we should conclude
that Eve made butter from the milk
Of kids and goats to set before her
angelic visitors. It is certain, at all
events, that from the earl lest age
Of the world, butter has figured as
one Of the staple articles of diet for
mankind. And yet, in all this time.

The Sultan-River Mines.

The Tribune of Tuesday contains
additional particulars of the recent
gold discoveries on Sultan river. II
appears that the discovery was made
by party of prospectors from Sno-
homish City. The party had been
engaged in prospecting the upper
country and along the course of the
Snohomish river for several months
past, when some two months ago
they came across a former bed of the
Sultan river from which the course
of the river had evidently been
changed by q formidable mountain
slide at some remote period. Here
they obtain prospects of very coarse
lead gold, which indicated from 80
to $40 pay to the hand per day. Az
soon Is they had satisfied themselves
thoroughly ss to the value Of their
discovery, and selectsd the most f.
vorabls sites on which to locate,
they departed for Snohomish to re-
cord their claims, but With . wsll

The Tables are Turning.

Olympia, without doubt, is rapidly
improving. If We were pointedly
asked to " define our position" when
making such an assertion, we should
do so by simply pointing to the rapid
increase of population in our once
sparsely settled county. Business
in towns and cities can only increase
and thrive in exact proportion with
rural development. There is such o
thing as a slow, steady yet upper
ceived improvement, and we believe
it is such a phase Of growth that now
obtains in our town and vicinity.
We 90 not perceive the daily incre-
ment that transforms the acorn into
an oak. Soin our business relations,
we fail to note all things for the bet
ter that daily and almost hourly are
transpiring around us. Town and
Country must go hand, in hand or
fatal collision and rupture will be
the inevitable consequence. The
business man, the mechanic, the far
mer and the common laborer are
only % many necessary factors to .

Judgement IN the lungs, and thus
taints the blood. This once accom-
plishel, full development OF the dis
ease is not long in being Effected. Its
active operations appear to be inva
riably confined to the sea COSTS and
water courses of low ATTITUDES. 1t
occasionally breaks out in some of
the northern cities but only when it
is clearly demonstrated that the
poison had been carried thither in
the clothing worn by travellers, or
secreted in their effects. The i'm
mediate SYMPTOMS of this epidemic
are not materially unlike those of
other persistent fevers, with this pc
culiarity, however, that there ap-
pears to be a sudden and general
dissemination of bile throughout the
system, imparting a sallow complex
ton to the skin, from which the dis
ease takes name. Small and fire.
quent doses of sulphate of quinia, at
regular intervals, is one of the latest
and best known remedies. Tincture
of iron or chlorate of potassa may be
taken advantageously along with, or
between, the doses of sulphate of
quinia. Keeping the mouth closed
as much as possible and bathing the
nasal passages with cooling disin-
fectants will have tendency to deter
the poisonous germs from entering
the system. Ice applications and
other cooling appliances should be
used unremittingly, and yet with oil
due precaution. While the MAS
matte particles may be waited to a
limited extent in the air, badly kept
and nver-loadad ahips are the pFin-
cipal vehicles by which the disease
is transmitted from one country to
another. Since the germ has been
shown 10 be the product of tropical
climates, all care should be exercised
in regard to the sanitary condition
of sea-going vessels and especially
the habits of seamen aud passengers.

ject, we refer our readers to late re-
ports of the Marine Hospital Service,
