LEWIS RIvER.-There is to be Touring
near Halls bridge, by a Mr.. Church, a
cousin of A. b. Church, and who recently
arrived from Iowa. The work of construc-
ton has already commenced.
There was big wedding at the house of
John II. Timmens, La Center, on Sunday,
the 2Sth of August, at which the Rev. Mr..
Gaus united in marriage Miss Lydia Tim
mems to Mr.. w. s. Ward of Goldendale.
About 80 guests were present, and there was
a joyous entertainment. On Thursday last
the new married couple started for Golden
dale, where Mr.. Ward had all things pre-
pared to go right to housekeeping.
The new boat of the Lewis 4 Lake River
Transportation Company is now being con-
structed at the forks of Lewis river, where
the material is all on the ground The
work is under the supervision of Mr.. Isaac
Thomas, president of the company. This
boat, about So feet long, will be of light
draft, built specially to go up the north and
east forks of Lewis river, and will be able to
reach La Center from the Columbia at the
lowest stages Of water This company has
built up good trade on Lewis and Lake
rivers, and by accommodating the people
deserve full possession of the line.
Many emigrants are coming into the
Lewis river section this fall, many buying
partly improved farms, while others take
railroad or government lands. There is
plenty good land for hundreds of families
yet to arrive, and we have nearly thous-
and hills for their cattle to cover, where
heaps of money is being lost by the spelling
OF grass where there is no stock to eat it.
The crops along Lewis river are now
about all secured, i'll good condition. Hay
is better than last year, and more of it.
The apparatus for a small cheese factory
has been taken to the Hathaway ranch, and
will be in full operation next season, though
some work will be done this year with it.
We have recently had little unpleasant
affair. An Indian, Isaac Brown, committed
an assault and battery ON the person of VIM.
A. Miller on the Goth of August-cause OF
trouble, hogs and dogs. Brown was ar
rested by Deputy Constable f. Holdings
worth and brought before Justice VIM.
Bratton Oh the 22nd, but Miller was so badly
beat chat he was unable to attend, so the
case was suspended till the 9th. On that
day at 0 o'clock all the parties were pres.
ont, and after hearing all the evidence the
justice found the Indian guilty and fined
him in the penal sum of 500 which was col
lected among the Indians, many of them
being present, who conducted themselves
during the day in very orderly manner

Do Birds Bury Their Dead!

While strolling through the woods at
Goguac Lake yesterday afternoon, |
suddenly came across half dozen birds
of the variety known as brown-thrushor
mocking-bird. They were all busy
working at some object on the ground,
and did not notice my intruding till |
was upon them, when, with a shrill cry,
they flew off short distance, and
perched on the trees to watch my move
ments. Having my curiosity aroused, l
went to examine what | supposed was
nest of young birds, when to my sur
prise 1 found the dead body of female
thrush, which had been killed by shot
from some hunters gun, and had fallen
where it lay. The birds which noticed
about it had been covering it over with
leaves, sticks, little tufts of grass, etc,
until only its feet stuck out. Immedl.
ately the story of the Babes in the Wood
covered with leaves by robins came to
my mind, and all seemed real as the
time when in childhood read the story
and believed it to be true. Anxious to
zee what the birds would do, l stepped
back of large tree to little distance
and watched them. Slowly the birds
came back one by one, and continued
the work of burying the dead bird.
While engaged hopping about after
leaves and grass, they would chirp, in
low, melancholy key, what l took to DC
the dirge-notes of the little birds fun'
eral. did not have it in my heart 70
disturb them, and watched them at their
labors for full half-hour, at the end OF
which time the dead bird was completely
buried.
This in some way answers the queS'
tons so many times asked: "What be-
comes of all the birdsP Do they ever
dep And do their mates bury them
have no doubt but that the various
species of birds thus dispose Of Their
dead.-BGttle Creek (Nich.) Cor Cl''c"

Stop ScowIing.

Don't scowl; it spoils faces. Before
you know it your forhead will resemble
a small railroad map. There is grand
trunk line now from your cowlick to
the edge of your nose, intersected by
parallel lines running east and west,
with curves arching your eyebrows;
and oh, how much older you look for
it! Scowling is habit that steals up
on us unawares. We frown when the
light is too strong, and when it is too
weak. We tie our brows into knot
when we are thinking, and knit them
even more tightly when we can not
think. There is no denying that there
are plenty of things to scowl about. The
baby in the cradle frowns when some
thing fails to suit. The little toddler
who has sugar on his bread and butter
tells his troubles in the same way when
you leave off the sugar. -" Cross, we
saw about the children, and "worried to
death" about the old folks, and as for
ourselves, we can't help it, But we
must. Its reflex influence makes others
unhappy; for face answereth unto face
in life as well as in water. 1t bellies our
religion. We should possess our souls
in s1ch peace that it will reflect itself in
placid countenances. If your forehead
Is ridged with wrinkles before forty,
what will it be at seventy There is one
consoling thought about these marks of
time and trouble-the death angel al
WAYS grasses them. Even the extremely
aged in death often wear a smooth and
peaceful brow, thus leaving our last
memories of them calm and tranquil.
But our business is with life. Scowling
is kind of silent scolding. For PHYS
sake let us take sad iron or a glad
iron, or some smoothing tool of some
sort, and straighten these creases out of
our faces before they become indelibly
engraven upon our visage.

THE CHILDREN.

''I'm tired of this ceaseless worry''-thus the
weary mother said:
ST rise up betimes in the morning, and Pm al
ways the last to bed;
Yet my 1abors are never ended, and the chill
drens frol1c and strife -. 49,, H.,
Seems sometimes to drive me crazy, and Pm
tired of this wretched life"
/ g1ieved for the weary mother, for her face
was worn and wan,
And a rosy bride I'd seen her but scarce five
summers gone;
But, when looked at the children-so happy,
SO healthful and gay
spoke not word of pity, but turned with
sob away.
For minded how once my dwelling, now or
derby, STILL and neat,
Re echoed my children'S voices, and the pat
tering of their feet,
AS they scampered thro' hall and parlor, and
in and out at the DOORS,
While dollies usurped my sofas, ana picture
books strewed my floors.
And minded the day they sickened, and their
voices grew sad and weak,
AS the fatal fever frightened, and wasted the
burning cheek,
Till over the pale, pinchedf features, so changed
from their winsome grace,
Crept the look-O so hard to witness!-of woe
on baby's facet
o God! Thou dost all things wisely, and 1
question not Thy decreei
Perchance had else forgotten that my treas
ures were lent to me,
But, ah! the benumbing anguish to listforthe
falling breath,
AS the dear form chins and stiffens in the cold,
cold clutch of Death!
To. day, thro' my lonely dwelling, so quiet,
precise and neat,
Where the echoes are sadly silent, L wander
with restless feet;
! find not that old confusion which once did
sorey annoy.
But moan, midst the drear precision, for the
sight of a broken toy!
O courage we weary mothers, whose labors
seem nevero'er;
ALI vapid and vain your being should your
little ones need no more!
My children are gone forever; but all that a
mortal might strive
Were bliss-but bliss-could clasp them safe
safe in my arms, alive!

greatest care taken in the family circle

The mutual forbearance which prompts
the neat dress. the respectful bearing.
the delicate habit of eating, the attention,
to table etiquette, should also make the
mind put on its best dress, and the eff

make himself or herself as agreeable az
possible. No one should show any haste

proper at an informal meal to ask for n

asks twice for soup or fish; one is rarely
helped twice at dessert. These dishes.
also salad, are supposed to admit of but
one helping.

How Successful British Generals are
Rewarded.

Grants to successful warriors have
generally been made in England, vary
ing in manner and amount according to
circumstances, and the more or less i'm
posing services of the recipients. Thus
Marlborough got manors and broad es-
tates, a sumptuous palace, and perpet.
ual pension. Wellington received marks
of the national munifcence in various
installments; peerage and a pension
after Talavera; increased rank and a
double pension after Cuidad Rodrigo;
a hundred thousand pounds after Sala'
manca; half million more,to purchase
an estate, at the close of the Peninsular
war; after Waterloo an additional two
hundred thousand pounds, to help build
and furnish Apsley House and keep up
Strath6eldsaye. Nelson got couple OF
pensions for three lives; Rodney, a
couple of thousand year for himself
and his heirs forever. Lord Lake, the
hero of Laswaree, received peerage and
a pension; Lord Keane, the same after
Ghuznee and the Afghan campaign of
1889. Lords Hardinge and Cough were
very literally treated after the Sikh war,
the first with a pension of eight, and the
latter with one of four, thousand ayear.
More recently Sir Henry Havelock was
granted baronetcy, with a pension for
three lives, after the relief of Lucknow.
Sir Garnet Wolseley got a lump sum OF
five-and-twenty thousand pounds, and
refused baronetcy, for his 6 courage,
energy, and perseverance" in the
Ashantee war; and now Sir Donald
Stewart and Sir Frederick Roberts are
to have a similar sum divided equally
between them. .H...'..

Something About the Barnacle Family.

The young barnacle, writes DR., An
drew Wilson, is a ''nauplius," three.
legged, free-swimming, single-eyed, and
possessing a mouth and digestive APP
paratus. In the next stage we again
meet with the six pairs of swimming
feet, with enormously developed front
pair of legs serving as "feelers," and
with two magnificent compound
eyes, as Darwin describes the organs
Of vision. The mouth in this second
stage, however, is closed, and feeding is,
therefore, impossible. AS Darwin re.
marks, the function of the young barna-
Giles " at this stage is to search out by
their well-developed organs of sense,
and to reach by their active powers of
swimming, a proper place on which to
become attached and to undergo their
final metamorphosis. When this is
completed adds Darwin, ''they are
fixed for life; their legs are now con-
verified into prehensible organs; they
again obtain we'll constructed mouth,
but they have no aptenne, and their
two eyes are now reconverted into q
minute, single, simple eye-spot." A
barnacle is thus simply a highly modi-
fed crab-like animal which fixes itself
by its head to the floating log, and
which "kieks its food into its mouth
with its feet" to use the smile and de-
scription of biological authority.
