I'm back, rich man, and there's mo-
body to bid me welcome home, except
old Aunt Abby ont of the workhouse."
He could not long have made this
statement, however.
All the town was up to bid the rich
government contractor welcome to
Tewkstown, within twenty-four hours.
Human nature is human nature every
where. But Tom Burton cared little
for the friendly overtures Of the old
neighbors.
Aunt Abby was the only person for
whom he seemed to care, and his great
est grief was that the old woman re-
fused to leave the old farmhouse to live
in the stately mansion which was built
for him. And then he asked permission
to deck her little bedroom with the GU
riosities he had brought her from the
iantipodes, and in taking up draperies
and arranging shells and old silver
coins, he and Mary unconsciously be-
came friends.
Friends. She never knew that it was
anything else, until one day, old Aunt
Abby took a strange idea into her head.
And Mary, holding rich oriental cord
for Tom Burton to loop into knots for
picture frames, heard her introduce
Mrs. Miller to Q neighbor as. my
guest, Mrs. Miller, the mother of the
young lady that nephew Tom is going
to marry
Tom looked at Mary. Mary dropped
the ball of cord and turned crimson.
''Mary!' he said. piteously. .'say
that it shall be so. For I love you
yes, love you! and I can't live with
out your love. And-and you were
good to old Aunt Abby when all the
world turned against her. sometimes
think. Mary. that you must be one of
Heavens angels!"
And this was how they became en-
gagged. a
They often visit the old farmhouse,
the happiest of married lovers, and
Aunt Abby firmly believes that they
are all her guests; for to her. the
world stands eterna!ly still-the world
that is 50 full of bloom and beauty to
Tom and Mary.

A New Yorker who was in Virginia
City last summer received q cali one
day from sharp eyed, wiry little chap,
who said he had few government
bonds to dispose of, and would make
very reasonable discount for cash.

them.

to explain that these bonds have been

No Chance to Isectify Mistakes.

When | was young man there lived
in our neighborhood farmer who was
usually reported to be very liberal
man and uncommonly upright in his
dealings. When he had any of the
produce of his farm to dispose of he
made it an invariable rule to give good
measure-rathe more than would BIO
required of him. One of his friends.
observing him frequently doing SO,
questioned him as to why he did it. He
told him he gave too much, and said it
was to his disadvantage. Now, mark
the answer of this excellent man: .tGod
has permitted me but one journey
through the world, and when am gone
! cannot return to rectify mistakes
The old farmers mistakes were of the
sort ne did not want to rectify.-E1-

Endless Life.

Oh, why should all this come to me so wife,
That death should throw no glam0r DER my
eyes,
Or reach sublimer limits of the skies?
None breathe of life but those who reckon
how,
Filling all thoughts with one eternal vow.
Or grasping, carving for that rest perforce
All natures seeks but finds it not. The source
OF life called death, is but another course.
The unknown, mighty empires of the wind,
Unknown, because unseen and uncOnf1ned-
Cannot exceed the empires of the mind.

Dawn.

Dawn.
A pearly light is breaking in the east,
The little sleepy stars with half shut eyes
Are fading from the gray of velvet skies;
Glad from their restless watch to be released.
As one by one their lids drop softly down,
The heavens with dawning life are all astir:
While wreaths Of silvery mist wax roster
That, snake like, curl about the mountains
crown.
A shaft of gold sent from an unseen bow
Has pierced that wall which shuts the day
from night,
Pours slowly through and bathes the earth
below.

VERY APPROPRIATE.

When the bill posters for Coles
circus came to this place they put up
one bill showing the tattooed woman,
with the words "Tattooed By the Ma
tivss' just over the head of the lattooed
woman. About two weeks ago w. II.
Warner, the great patent medicine
man, had some bill posters putting up
large bills to advertise hi, medicine.
Now Warner is an ardent Blaine man,
and crank withal, as is seen by his
having large portrait of Blaine upon
one of his bills. When the bill posters
were putting up Warmers bills, they,
either by accident or design, we know
not which, put up this bill containing
the portrait of Blaine so as to cover up
the bill containing the tattooed woman,
except that the bill failed to cover up
the words, "Tattooed by the Natives. /"
These words now stand out in bold
relief above the head of the "Plumed
Knight" and appears as part of the
bill. When this was pointed out to
one of our German citizens, he remark
ed, "Dot is shust right"

Republicans of Oregon are holding
up their hands in holy horror over the
oft repeated tales Of scandal against
Gov. CleSeland, which originated large
ly in the mind Of one, "Rev" Bal, who
is largely der par in the moral scale,
if the statement of many highly respect
able gentlemen Of Owensburg, Ind, are
to be taken into account. Yet, il has
not been many years since the same
party elected man to tho United
States Senate from Oregon who was
charged with beiog geilty Of seduction
and desertior, and after the whole
course of that gentlemsn's life had been
laid bare before the public gaze, and
his"youthful indiscr,stions"fully brought
to light, that same party in State con-
vention assembled solemnly resolved
that mot only ths Republican party,
but a large msjotity Of the people Of
this State, have entire confidence in his
integrity, ability and patriotism, and
that he will ably and faithfully repre-
sent them in the u. s. Senate" This
was the position of tho Republican par
ty in Oregon in 1873, and We will in
all candor say that If the party really
believed that Mr.. Mitchell had left of
che evil ways of his younger days, and
'had outlived the imputations cast upon
him, then we have no criticism to make
upon the action of the party in "for.
getting and forgiving." But even ss
late AZ 1882 the party nominated him
as their Candidate for the United States
Senate, and although he was defeated
by the detection of members of his own
party, the detection was caused by the
fear that il he should be elected he
would be the tool of railroad corpora
tions, and not IN consequence of his
"youthful indiscretions."
Our readers have observed that Mr..
Scott, of the Oregontar,. Is loudest and
most bitter in his animadversions upon
the candidacy of Mr. Cleveland in
consequence of Balls scandal, but he
seems TO have forgotten that he was at
the Albany Republican convention in
1873, and that it was through his in
1uence that Mitchell was endorsed as
above stated. in fact, it is said, that
Mr.. Scott was the author of the endor-
sing resolution. He now poses before
the people as one whose moral makeup
is terribly shocked at the alleged lack
OF moral character of Gov. Cleveland.
Consistency is jewel. but Me-. Scott
seems 10 have no conception of the
fact.

The POpular Approval.

Ofthe now famous Syrup Of Figs as the
most efficacious and agreeable prepara-
ton every offered to the world as GU re
for Habitual Constipation, BlliousnesG,
Indigestion and kinderd ills, has been
won by the wise plan pursued by the CAL
hornia Fig Syrup Company. Knowing
that any remedy truly beneficial In its
effects on the system and at the same time
pleasant to the taste, will meet with a
rapid sale, the Company, through its agent
for Albany, of w Langdon d Co., gives
away sample bottles free of charge, TRY
II and judge for yourself. Large bottles
fifty cents or one dollar.

An exchange says that Beecher and
other diviues sent Gen. King to Buffalo
to investigate the charges against Cleve-
land, and that gentleman made full and
exhaustive research into the whole mat
ter and reported that the evidence
showed that Cleveland had, about eight
years ago, irregular relations with a
woman in that city bat that all charges
of seduction, kidnapping or cruelty were
absolutely false, and without an. foun-
dation in fact. Now this report was
made by Republican at the special
instance and request of a number of
lifelong Republicans. 81 it seems
that the whole matter was largely as
tempest ia teapot. With all that
has been charged against Cleveland, it
would be infinitely better to have him
for President than to have ono for
President who would barter his official
power aud place to satisfy his private
greed for gain.

The Brooklyn Eagle says: "Will
the Hon. George 2. Elmunds support
the Star-route ticket. This is an inter
esting dusssion. Four years ago, when
he and his houored friend, the noble
Thurman, of Ohio, were struggling for
the rights of the people against the Pa
cifc railroad conspirators, he wrote to
an old acquaintance in Burlington, Vt.,
letter in which these words are to be
found:
"lt is my deliberate opinion that Mr..
Blaine acts as the attorney of Jay
Gould. Whenever Mr.. Thurman and
have settled upon legislation to bring
the Pacific railroads to terms of equity
With the Government, up has jumped
Mr.. James G. Blaine, musket in hand,
from behind the breastworks of Gould's
lobby, to fire in our face"
"The Maine musketeer is just as
ready to-day as be ever was to fire from
behind the breastworks of the lobby in
the facesof champions of the Thurman
Law. Does Mr.. Edmunds mean to aid
by bis vote and influence in giving him
such coigne of advantage as the Pres
idency?0

The store of c. Magruder at Central
Point Jackson county, was robbed last
Thursday night in a cheeky sort of a
way. As near as We can learn the store
was approached by parties with wagon
who tried to hacl the whole business of.
After loading the wagon with goods and
robbing the till of what money was in
it, they started on their way rejoicing.
They have been tracked in the direction
of Sans valley, and there is no doubt
but tha: the guilty parties will be caught
as it will be hard to keep out of reach of
the officers with the amount of goods
they started with.
