VERNAL FAITH.

VERNAL FAITH.
When heaven was stormy, earth was cold.
And sunlight stunned the world and wave.
Thought burrowed in the church-yard mould.
And ted ON dreams that haunt the grave.
But now thst heaven ID freed from strife,
And earth's full heart with rapture sweNs,
Thought scars through fields OF endless life
Above the shining asphodels.
What flower that drinks tho south winds
breath,
What sparkling leaf. what Hebe morn,
But flouts the sullen gray.beard Death.
And laughs our arctic doubts to scorn3
Pale scientist, scant of healthful blood,
Your ghastly zones one moment close
Pluck freshness from a spring-ti bud.
Find wisdom in the opening rose.
Mark the white lily, whose sweet core
Hath many a wild-bee swarm enticed.
And drew therefrom honeyed lore
Pure as the tender creed OF Christ:
Yea, even the weed, which upward holds
Its tiny ear past bower and lawn,
A loveller faith than yours unto Ids.
Caught from tho far faint winds OF dawn.
Paul II. Aayne.

A feeling of apprehension in regard
70 smallpox is quite general, all over
the Sound. At New Tacoma a disease
broke out, several weeks ago, that
was for a long time pronounced
chicken-pox, and no particular at
tempts were made to prevent its
spread. The natural result was it
was communicated to great many.
Up to date there have been nine
deaths in and about that place. There
are also five cases known to be in ex-
istence there, which have been placed
under the control of the health officer
and are not thought to be dangerous
to the patients. The doctors of the
place are positive that the disease is
under control. At the Puyallup
agency some of the Indians have the
disease in a severe form, and two
deaths have been reported to General
Milroy BY Mr.. Mccoy, who is in
charge Of the reservation. Proper
precautions have been taken to iso-
late the sick and prevent its spread.
It does not seem that proper precau-
lions were observed when the disease
first appeared at Tacoma, and it is to
be hoped that due diligence will be OBJ
served hereafter, to in a measure
compensate for the former neglect

Thanksgiving Proclamation,

The sunlight of Heaven falls not upon q
people more favored than we, in the posses.
sion of all the elements of prosperity, hap
piness and greatness.
Plain, mountain, forest and sea show forth
the handiwork of the Almighty Power. and
give to us habitations, food, fuel and treas
ures. The seasons of seed time and harvest
are heightened an hundred-fold beyond the
usually allotted span; our barns and store.
houses are filled with plenty, and we send
of our superabundance to the near and dis
tant nations of the earth. Lightning and
tempest, drought and flood, famine and pes.
thence, devastating fires and forces never
afflict us. A genial climate, and the incom.
ing and outgoing salt tides of the sea give to
us physical viger and hsalthfulhess.
Self-government, equality before the law,
the unrestricted possession and enjoyment
of these high prerogatives of American citi.
zenship scOnspire to make, US free happy
and independent people.
The Christian and Israelite, Pagan and In.
dian, here bend the knee only to the God Of
their convictions, all overshadowed, upheld
and elevated by Christian civilization, Chris
tian charity and Christian liberty.
Letus not vaunt ourselves over others, but
give thanks to the Giver of all Good in that
He hath vouchsafed to us these unspeakable
blessings.
