THE v1o1ETs SHE SENT.
sAM NJ. GAINES.

What came you from her bow'r to bring,
You blue-eyed messengers ofsprlngf
Dld you not come my soul to greet
With breathings OF her spirit swcct1
You bloomed, trow, upon her breast,
To typify her charms confessed,
And caught when in that fair, pure goal,
The fragrant incense Of her soul.
YOur modest faces can but tell;
They touch me with the subtle spell
Born Of her presence-for there lies
liernaturc IN your tender eyes,
know, too, on your yielding lips
Sweet touches Of hcrGnger tips;
And in each touch, most deflly blcnt,
The message of n kiss Is sent!
Then welcome, guests, from farest shrine!
You 1ll my heart with glad sunshine,
And shed in this drear room the grace
Other who wears the lowrct's face.

GOLDEN ROD.


How bloOmcl the golden rod year ago!
And time since then hath seemed 80 slow;
The day we watched the white clouds drift
Across the far-o1 sky, sailing swift
In bluest sea. And in the field
Mid dying grass and half Concealed,
The golden-rod glowel in the sun,
While we felt all lifc'sJoy was done lit
When parting came. Oh, memory sweet!
II loving hearts should fail to meet
In years to come! Oh, life 50 strange,
That can so sadden and so change
The world for us, we may not ilnd
\ single day which will be kind.
And give us yet with all It's pain
Of parting, such an hour again!
When on the field the sunshine lay,
Aud goldcn-rod bloomed In our way.

GLEN Peterson writing from
Gray's Harbor, W. T., to friend in
Portland under date of February
18th, says: Parties from Seattle
have just been here and contracted
for large lot of land on the beach
from me. They intend laying off
an extensive Summer resort at once.
Portland people had better get lois
while they are cheap; two years
hence all the land from Ocean Park
to Shoalwater Bay will be in de-
mand. The Seattle company intend
to commence improving and build
ing cottages within six weeks.
Three more sawmills are to put up
on Gray's Harbor next Summer, and
now we need lighthouse. The ter
minus of the Seattle railroad will be
at South Bay, and about mile from
my residence, where the water is the
deepest. The name to this lovely
tract-a meadow covered by shade
trees-was given before the other
place of the same name on Oyster
vile beach was thought of.

FIRST Ascent OF MT. RAlNIrR.-
II seems from communication pnb-
Iish"d II the Tacoma Nw<, by Mr.
Edward Higgins. that Messrs Stew
nns and Van Trump were not the
! first climbers to scale the heights of
Nj Rainier, but that as early as
1851, Lieutenant (now GeneraD
knutz and the correspondent sue
ceeled IN reaching the crest after Il
toilsome journey Of six days from
Fort Stei.aco"m. The party con
sisted of five white men and un In
dian. but the mainder gave out
through fitigue. at an elevation of
GOO feet. 1t was about 6 o'clock
III the evening when the summit was
attained. The intense cold pre-
cluded the possibility q stayin. on
the mountain all night, although the
nearest peak was yet to climb to
make the observation what Was con-
templated. Ice was forming in
their cauteens. The wind was strong
and intensely cold. The party de-
/ termined to return to camp and
make the desired observations the
next day; but their late return and
over-eXe1tiOn were too much for
them, and as their provisions were
so much reduced that delay was i'm
possible, they decided to abandon
the project. having, as MIR. Higgins
adds, at least demonstrated the prac-
ticability of ascending the mountain.
In fact he reports it easy of access on
any side, which is in conflict with the
reports OF later explorers. He SAYS ::
With moderate energy and plenty
OF time anyone can get up. The
cause of portion of the party Civ
ing out was because they undertook
to do too much in short time. 1t
will require about sixteen hours to
60 from the snow limit to the top
without over exertion."

The suicide of Mr.. L. D. Durgin.
at New Tocoma, last week, by
wounds inflicted with pair of scis-
sors, is nm impressive warning to
those who tamper with strong drink.
In fact his life the past twenty
years has been constant sermon on
the evil effects of dissipation, for
no man could turn his band 10 his
chosen branches of industry with
more certain prospect of lucrative
returns, and mono were more i'm
provident when the money passed
into his keeping. His mania for
gaming was irresistible, and grad
ually the drinking habit grew upon
him, until he was likewise its slave.
Mr.. Dursin possessed many redeem.
ing qualities of mind and heart, and
but for his unfortunate associations
aud habits, might have been one OF
the leading men of the Territory.

came total loss last Thursday, says
the Victoria Standard of the 18th.
Point Bonilla is situated immedi-
ate opposite Cape Flattery, on the
western coast of Vancouver Island.
The lost vessel had for many years
been engaged in the lumber trade
between Puget Sound and San
Francisco and other points. She
was commanded by Captain A. Berg
man and was owned in San Fran
cisco. On this voyage she was I'M
der charter to load at Port Blakely.
The mate and four of the crew land
cd at Neah Bay. but no tidings have
yet been received of the Captain and
his wife and the remainder of the
crew. 1t is believed, however, that
they landed on the Vancouver shore
near to Nitinat or San Juan harbor.
