A FAMILIAR Spirit.


FAMILIAR sPRrr
When we 60 wandering oyer hin and dale
With phiiosophic talk or careless Joke,
And souls unburthened OF their weekday yoke,
While from the north the snow-clouds darby sail,
OR from the vapory sky fall sunbeams pale,
We two are not alone, for we evoke
A friendly spirit, called Tobacco Smoke,
Ger Us TO noat, and hts blue banners trail
When DER frozen streams ana giittering SHOWS
we wend In search OF cur Fed winter fruit,
lght, winged, jolly comrade, he, too goes;
In the Dleak air amhrosial scent he blows,
AND cheers US onward in our chill pursuit;
therefore my Muse on him this rhythm bestows
Another eonnet-a charming one. II seems to
me:-refers to bird which Dr.. Shoemaker has
made famous in little song, of which / shall
speak presently. Note the fine verse, composed
entirely Of monosylables, which l have itali-
cized:
THE MoCKIKG-wREN.
There is bird that In the winter sings
As blithe as Ia the summer When 90
Athwart the fields far-powdered white with
His CHEEKY carol through the chill air rings
Fresh from his heart, the warm and living springs
Of song arise unchecked, and seem to throw
over the deSOlate waste a sunny glow;
The Goods lost choir back trith one rOice he brinQs
mocking.wre true type OF cheerfulness,
OF boundless faith, and fortitude sublime,
Thy wintry warbings me delight no less
Than thy love-yr1cs In the ecStatlc time
OF flowers and fruits! All, would what they ex-
press
In tones as clear, might animate my rhyme
My first acquaintance with Dr. Shoemaker's
poetry was early in the year 1853, when found
the following little lyric in a newspaper-it was
probably in the New York Home Journal, where
it appeared February 20 of that year:
BIRD-soNa.
There Is little bird that sings
sweetheart"
know not what his name may be:
only know his notes please me,
sweetheart"
I've heard him sing on soft spring days
sweetheart"
And when the sky was dark above,
And wintry winds had stripped the grove,
He still poured forth those words of love-
"Sweetheart!"
And. like that bird, my heart, too sings
"SweCtheart!"
When heaven Is dark, or bright or blue,
When trees are bare, or leaves are new,
IL thus sings On-ani sings OF you
eSweetheart!"
What need Of other words than thee
''Sweethearti"
III should sing whole year long,
My love would not be shown more strong
Than by this short and simple song
"Sweetheartl"

THE PRESIDENTS POLICY.

The following is taken from the
press dispatches contained in the Ore
gonian of the 26fh.
The resident is said to have adopted
a new rule which will son result in
placing only stalwart's In office.
Where q stalwart's tern expires he
will re-appoint him, and wien anti
stawarts' terns expire he will replace
them with sta.warts. The truth
this is exactly apparent from the fact
that there are 1856 presidential offices
in Penns Ivan a. and the president has
made appointments already for IS of
them, or about 40 per cent. In New
York there are 276 presidential officers
and the president has already made
nominations to the number of so.
There have been 81 nominations to
office in New York stare, out three
were successive nom inatons to one
place. the Westprt postoffce. Of the
% collectors, President Arthur has ap-
pointed 10. Or 50 per cent, and all have
either been known as pronounced stall
warts or procured their appointments
through unmistakable stalvart infiu>
ence. A prom inent Nv York con-
gresham says that 1t is entirely with
in bounds to say that 90 per cent of all
New Workers who have been appoin ed
to office by the president are st:ilwarts

SITUATION IN OREGON,

In Oregon matters are not as har-
monious with the bretheren in the
Republican camp as the bosses would
wish for. Underneath the smooth
surface there is a commotion which
indicates troubled waters from an ap-
pl oaching storm, that even the steady
and and golden septer of Valuird
may not be able to stay. The leaders
themselves do not entirely agree, nor.
is this disagreement the offspring OF
recent developments, whilst the COW
eted position of United States Senator
held together the various factions dnr-
ing the June campain, and caused
them to vie with each other in the
work of manufacturing illegal votes.
In no place were they successful
where individual preferences were
expressed for any particular one of the
numerous aspirants for that position
Since the smoke of battle has cleared
away and they are enabled to looh
upon the spoils Of their victory th.
The Douglas independent. [volume] (Roseburg, Or.) 187?-1885, 1882-07-29

The People of Iowa, have adopted
by vote thirty thousand majority the
amendment to their State Constitution
which prohibits the manufacture and
sale, or the keepig for sale, any intoxi
eating liquors, as beverage, in the state
This amendment has been interpreted
to mean that it may be manufactured,
SO long as it is not retailed as beverage
within the State. If this be true
construction of it's provisions, it would
have been bitter for the temperance
cause if it had never been passed.
We are sorry to state that the Oak
land items had to be omitted in our last
issue, for the reason that they were
not received until after we had gone
TO press. All items intended for pub
lication, should reach us by Thursday
night, or Friday morning.
Dr. S. Hamilton presented us with
new dictionary for which we return
the thanks of the office.
Mrs. Oty, whom it will be remem-
bered was thrown from wagon and
run over, some weeks ago, in the vicin-
ity Of Wilbur, died on the 18th inst.
from the effects of the injuries which
she then received.
