SABBATH MORNING.

The land was fraught with natures smile
The insects chirp did cares beRuile,
And zephyrs stirred the LEAKAGE, while
We unused on Sabbath morning.
The river slept amid the hills,
It's peaceful! lapse fed by the rills,-
Forgot were all my cares and ills
On quiet Sabbath morning.
The fish, beneath the crystal wave,
Their scaIy siIvered sides did lave;
Below he golden sandcG pave
Did gf<ht on Sabbath morning.
".
The misty hills filled up the view
And blended with the heavens blue,
And warmly basked in purple hue
On regal Sabbath morning.
Sweet peace and quiet reigned DER al,
As well in cot as stately bali;
And cen the cattle in the stall
Enjoyed the Sabbath morning.
The little bird in leafy tree
The brook that purIed 10 babbIing gIee,-
The squirrel and the buZziug bee
BeJoiced on Sabbath morning.
VII.
The house-dog dozed beneath the bush
Where bloomed the rose in Summers blush,
And lulIiug murmurs filled the hush
On happy Sabbath morning.
VIII.
See where the river meets the view
Rejecting back the heavens blue,
A glimpse amid the LEAKAGE new,
on holy Sabbath morning
TX.
The little kit plays DER the floor
The fly doth buzz the window DER
The robin, golden notes doth pour
For all on Sabbath morning.
The mothcr-hen with downy train
The uinea in the field OF grsin,-
The sheep, too, grazing in the lane.
Are glad on Sabbath morning.

Trees, shrubs and fiowery bramblos, there,
Exhaling sweets, perfume the air
All earth doth seem exceeding fair
To view, on Sabbath morning.

To hive on earth were heavenly bliss;
And paradise we'd hardly miss
On such Sabbath morning. a. D. II.

HOW HE GOT HIS PAY.

On the banks nf ;re Ohio. before the
advent of railroads, when steamboats, Piled
between PiLts bulph and the West, lived a
sturdy farmer, whose spate time was Speut
in chopping wood with which he supplied
the passing boats. One winter a boat was
laid up at this place on account OF the ice,
and during a long and cold season burned
the old eeutleman's wood. When the ice
cleared away, the farmer presented his
bill. which the captain refused to pay.
"You will pay it" said the old man.
"I'll not pay it till l please" retorted
the captain, aud ordered the old man off
the boat, a request which be complied
with
A little later he appeared on the bank,

large tree hanging directly over the boat.
which would not be able to move for sew
eral hours on accoun. of the flow of ice
The captain, with an oath, asked him
what he meant by cutting that tree when
he knew that it would fall on the boat
"Will you uay me for the wood p asked
the farmer.

Then IN fell this tree on your boat, s"
aud the sound of the axe ran out on the
air.
The captain storn,ed and swore, and
threatened to lick the old man, but TO no
purpose the well directed blows of tie
axe were gradually eating away at the
heart of the tree, and unless something
was dome soon /: would fall aud crush
everything beneath il. Finding threats
and entreaties useless, the captain finally
brought out a swivel gun, which all the
boats then carried, aud. loading it, pointed
right at the tree. Faster flew the chips as
the old man saw the preparations Of war,
when the captain sang ont:
"N i'll you quit choppiug at that tree? ?"
"Wil you pay me for ;be wood p said
the old man, never losing stroke.
III give YOU just one minute to get
away from that trce, ard if you're not gone
then IN blow Satan out Of you. cried the
captain, as he called for light and primed
the gun.

thought had struck him, the old man
shouldered his axe, and shaking his fist at

was seen there no more. In few hours
the boat pulled and steamed down the
river, making a landing at Steubenville,
twenty two mIles below. As the captain
stepped on the wharf, the sheriff walked
up, and, tapping him on The shoulder. in
formed him that he had writ for him,
aud would tie his boat until he paid little
bill.

The captain saw il was no use to fume
about it, for the old man had the law on
him and after paying the amount, with

The venerable old soldier and states
man, Gen. Joe Lane, arrived last even

he WIS ionized in a manner similar to
that of this city. We remember him to-
dav as we did when but a child, almost 4
quarter of q century ago, and the i'm
preston made a that time will remain
while reason holds sway and the seasons
of succeeding years come and go. A call
had been made for volunteers to protect
the women and children from the In
dams tomahawk, outrages and torture at
the old block-house, near the DalleS.
Gen. Lane was in the field at once with
his company of brave volunteers, and as
thev bade farewell while in line on horse
back in front of our fathers house, which
was draped with the Stars and Stripes
even in that pioneer age, the impression
made was never to be forgotten. Many
who that day bade the few assembled
pioneers farewell never returned. With
out fear they battled against murderous
fcnds, and for what is now our own beau
tjful Oregon slaid down their lives. A
leader like Joe Lane is not to be forgot
