Great Sunken Lake.

The Jacksonville (Oregen) Record
says: Several of our citizens returned
recently from the Great Sunken Lake,
situated in the Cascade Mountains,
aboout IS miles northeast from Jack
sonville. This lake rivals the famous
valley of Sinbad the Sailor. 1t is thought
to average two thousand feet down to
the water all round. The depth of the
water is unknown, and its surface is
smooth and unruff1ed, as it is so far be-
low the surface of the mountains that
the air currents do not affect it. It's
length is estimated at twelve or fifteen
miles, and its width ten or twelve.
There is mountain in the center, hav-
ing trees upon it. 1t lies still, silent
and mysterious in the bosom of the ev-
erlasting hills, like huge well scoeped
out by the hands of the giant genii of
the mountains in the unknown ages gone
by, and around it the primeyal forests
watch and ward are keeping. The vis-
iting party fired a rifle into the water
several times at an angle of forty-five
degrees, and were able to note several
seconds of time from the report of the
gun until the ball struck the water.
Such seems incredible, but is vouched
for by our most reliable citizens. The
lake is certainly most remarkable Gu
riosjty.

A Confused Juror.

During the administration of Hon
John Schley, Judge of Middle Circuit OF
Georgia, one day, in the trial of case
on the common law docket before pet.
it jury. in which Hon. Charles J. Jenk.
ins and Quintilian Skrine, Esq, were on
opposing sides, a juror, after the conclu-
sion of Mr. Jenkins's argument, and the
introduction of Mr., Skrine's, suddenly
rose, left the box, and rushed out of the
court house. Being brstIght back, to the
Courts indignant demand why he had
taken such liberty he answered: !:
well, now, jedge, I'll jes' tell you how
it is. L heerd Mr.. Jenkins's speech, and
he made out the case so plain that l had
made up my mind. And then Mr.. Skrine
he got up, and he went entirely on the
back track, he did, and he were gittin'
my mind all confused up like; and jes'
thought, as for me, 7 better leave ont
well he got through. Well, now, ledge.
to tell you the plain truth, didn't like
the way the argument was a-gwine."-

A Judges Charge, with Variations.

A Judges Charge, with Variations
The following comes from Georgia
and its accuracy is vouched for by the
stenographer who took it down:
Judge was noted for the way he
got mixed in his charges to the jury. On
one occasion case was tried before him
the points Of which may be briefly stated
thus: Smith brought suit against Jones
upon a promissory note given for a
horse. Jones's defense was failure of
consideration, he averring that at the
time of the purchase the horse had
the glanders, of which he died, and that
Smith knew it. Smith replied that the
horse did not have the glanders, but had
the ldistemper, and that Jones knew it
when he bought.
The judge charged the jury: Gentle
men of the jury, pay attention to the
charge of the Court. You have already
made one mis-trial of this case because
you did not pay attention to the charge
of the Court, ,and don't want you to do it
again. Iintend to make it so clear to you
this time that you can not possibly make
any mistake. This suit is upon a note
given for promissory horse. l hope
you understand that. Now, if you find
that at the time of the sale Smith had
the CHAMBERS, and Jones knew it, Jones
can not recover. That is clear gentle
men,. / will state it again. If you find
that at the time of the sale Jones had
the distemper, and Smith knew it, then
Smith can not possibly recover. But,
will state it third time,
so that you can not possibly make mis-
take. If at the time of the sale Smith
had the glanders, and Jones had the dis
temper, and the horse knew it, then nei-
ther Smith, Jones, nor the horse can re-
cover. Let the record be given to the
Drawer, in Harper's
for January.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE

There's a treee that blossoms in winter
time,
In spite of tempests and wind and
snow,
And fruit as bright as in tropic cline,
On its fresh, green branches wave and
glow;
No matter how gloomy the winter
may be.
There's sure to be fruit on the Christ.
mas Tree.
We have planted one Oh the old hill side
And friendship has promised to tend
it well,
Its branches are budding and spreading
wide,
And its earliest flowers we begin to
tell;
And daily it gladdens our eyes to see
The rapid growth of the Christmas
Tree.
1t will bear no harvest Of crimson and
gold,
Nor shine with the dreppings of sill
yer showers
The fabled Hesperian trees of old
Will have no rival in this of ours;
Neither rich nor rare will the fruitage
be,
Which will hang on the boughs of our
Christmas Tree.
But plain tho it be, it will wOrthier
seem,
When you think it was nurtured by
friendships hand.
And its simple appeal to your kind
esteem
Your generous spirit will scarce
withstand;
So we ask you to come, though it win
ter be,
And gather the fruit of our Christmas
Tree.

An Anecdote of Gen. Wolfe.

From "CassslPs Popular History of
the United States" we take the follow
ing anecdote: "In making his arrange
ments, Pitt disregarded, as far as infiu-
ences to tie contrary permitted him, the
spurious claims of seniority, and gave
the chief commands to those whom he
thought fitted. His sagacity perceived
that no man was better qualified for the
expedition against Quebec than the
young soldier, James Wolfe; and to
Wolfe he accordingly assigned it. Yet,
If we may believe singular anecdote
recorded by an eminent historian of our
own times, he had momentary cause to
doubt the reasonableness of his selec-
tion when it was too late to alter the
appointment. Wolfe,it will be recollected.
was in England when the command was
conferred on him; and, on the day pre-
eeding his embarkation for America.
Pitt invited him to dinner, that he
might give him his last verbal instruc-
tions. Lord Temple, one of the Minis
tiers, whose sister Pitt had married, was
the only other guest, and through him
the anecdote has come down to posteri-
ty. Toward the latter end of the eve
ming, Wolfe burst forth into a strain of
the most extraordinary gasconade. He
drew his sword, raped the table with
it, fourished it about the room, and
boasted of the mighty deeds it should
achieve. His strange and unseemly con-
Duct could not be attributed to wine, for
he had drank but little. Whatever the
cause, the effect was so staggering tina;
the two statesmen looked at each other
aghast; and when Wolfe had taken his
leave, and his carriage was heard to roll
from the door, Pitt lifted up his eyes
and arms in horror, and exclaimed,
Good God that should have entrusted
The fate OF the country and of the ad-
to such hands,"

POETRY.
A Little Child.

For more than eighteen hundred Chris
tian years,
In lands where wrath of winds the
snowclouds toss,
Children have sung with infantile, sweet
tears
The Sorrow of the Cross.
Another wide winged year has made its
round;
Another summer has slipped down
the world;
Cold threads Of rime have dripped with
sullen sound,
And dead leaves have been whirled
Tie sunfower heads that bent in giant
rows
And feebly followed in the suns wan
train
Are fallen low; the pines their ancient
woes
Tell the black nights again.
And lo Behold When up the Eastern
sky
A yellow light flashed with the Christ
mas morn,
Across our household swept the tender
sigh,
"A Son to US is bornI"
All, hushi Stand closer; see the tiny
hand
With wrinkled grasp held in fragile
fold;
See round its head the faint and dusky
band
That yet shall be pure gold.
Thus looking backward, tbs the Holy
Child
That through the dusk at Christmas
morn we see;
A little child that. sleeping softly smiled,
Throned on the Virgins knee.
o strange, dim picture of strange, far
landi
Tie frost pale earth, the drowsy fiOcks
around,
And. whispering low, that little, awe
struck band
OF wise men, wonder bound;
A little child, with large, new opened
eyes,
Worshiped and given of rare gifts,
and then
Hurried in wild fight under dark, sad
skies
Fast stern, fierce, bearded men.
A little child who tried with happy fear,
And mother helping his small un-
taught feet,
Who Knocked the bittern, when the night
fell clear,
In pathways by the wheat!
And that far motherl Were our child
songs hers
@Sleep, Baby, sleep?" Did she, too,
softly rise
And kiss down lightly, as he restless
stirs
His drowsy baby eyes?
Her little child who watched the brown
Who crept to hear the robin at the door, |
With sweet child wonder snatching at |
the warm,
White sunbeams of the floor;
Who watched, by times, both bird and
shadow pass
In even fight, and listened to the flow
OF sun warmed water through the /
Slooo
And bell flowers swingiag low.
Hushl hHshl the organs touch with
thunder tones
The circling splendor of the star
pierced sky!
Hear We not yet the Crucifxion moans-
A young child's lonely cry2
o wondrous power of tender Father
care; L.
o wondrous power of tender Saviour
