The way Is long, my darling,
The road Is rough and steep,
: And fast across the evening sky
/ see the shadows sweep.
But oh my love, my daring,
No III to us can come,
No terror turn us from the path,
For we are going home.
Your feet ere tired, my darling,
So tired thy tender feet;
But think when we are there at last,
How long the rest, and sweet
For 10 the lamps are lighted
And yonder cleaning dome,
Before us shining like star,
Shall guide our footsteps home.
We've lost the flowers We gathered
So early In the morn:
And on we go, with empty hands,
And garments soiled and worn
But oh ! the dear All Father
VIII cut to meet us come,
And fairef flowers and whiter robes
There wait for srgs at home
Art cold, my love, and famishea
Art faint, and sore athirstf
De patient yet little while,
And joyous as the fii.st;
For oh The sun sets never
Within that land OF bloum,
And thou shalt eat the bread Of life,
And drink life's wine at home.
The wind blows cold, my darling,
Adown the mountain steep,
And thick across the evening sky
The darkening shadows creep
But oh my love, press Onward,
Whatever trials come,
For IN the way the Father set
We two are going homo.

Many little incidents occurred, which

they are lost in the obIiyions Of

larceny case one of our able and dis
tinguished attorneys, engaged for the

From the remote and shadowy con-
fines of, time immemorial tho sage
maxim pTuth is stronger than Fic-
ton" has been handed down to us.
Truth will never die; the stars will
grow dim, the sun will pale his glory,
but truth will be ever young. II is
inperishable and no grave can ever

been In prison but it has been freer
than before; those who enshrined il in
their hearts have been burned at the
stake bnt out of their ashes other Wit
nessos have arisen. No sea can drown,
no storm can wreck, no abyss can
swallow up the everlasting truth, and

tells you that by the dim and tlicker-j
ing light Of the titful moon he saw
golden-spotted chickeu-snako swallow

conscientiously convict my client on
his evidence. These high priests Of
Justice Counsel for State) with their
hands welterin9 in the yet warm
hearts blood Of their slaughtered vic
Tins, tell you that the prisoner at the
bar knew the money to be stolen and
hoot the idea of any sane man believ-
ing In hidden Treasure. But sirs,

of money supposed to be buried by
pirates, hugo yawning chasms--in
which this courthouse would be lost to

can you find this man guilty and sleep
the Tranquil sleep Of the righteous
II is needless TO say that after this
the prisoner was acquitted. The Meg

All Lee, the heather Chinee who
murdered a Christian Cninaman in
Portland more than a year ago was
hung in Portland on Tuesday. The
particularly remarkable thing about
his case was that without dollar of
his own more than $4,000 must have
been paid out for lawyers and court
expenses in defending the Chinaman,
who was tried and convicted twice,
and had the advantage of every posi-
BILE delay known to the law, even an
appeal to the United States Circuit
Court. Common people fail to see why
his life was 40 valuable that the Oregon
State Courts came near being destroyed
in the effort to save the life of the
worthless vagabond.

There are many Tumors going the
rounds of the news papers that Samuel
]. Tilden and L. :. Grant have both
withdrawn from the presidential race,
but no one has yet seen any letters
signed by either of them to that effect.
1t would prove great misfortune to
either political party which would
nominate one of these two men, as
they both have 50 many enemies in
their own ranks.
