Oregon Safe.

WASHINGTON, March 2. The adjourn
ment of the Oregon Legislature without
electing senator for the term beginning
March 4th, and the probability that sue
cessor to Senator Logan will not be chosen
when the senate convenes next month in
extra session, has caused discussion as to
| the powers of the Governors of Illinois and
Oregon to fill the vacancies The question
arises are these vacancies such as in the
meaning of the constitution the executive of
the States are authorized to fill by appoint
ment? The legislature of Oregon having ad-
journed without electing a senator, there
can be no doubt in the light of the pre-
cedents that an appointment made by the
Governor of that state to the vacancy which
occurs March 4th, will be recognized by the
appointed may be admitted as member of
that body. In the case of Illinois, il is
doubtful whether an appointment can be
made by the Governor while the legislature
under consideration.

Dancing to Stone.

The following curious tradition is preva-
lent in little village in Somerset, Eng
land, respecting the origin of well-known
Druidical monument existing there, con-
sisting of four groups of stones, which
formed, when complete, two circles. The
legend is given as follows:
"Many hundred years ago ION Satur-
day evening" newly married couple, with
their relatives and friends, met on the spot
now covered by these ruins to celebrate
their nuptials. Here they feaSted and
danced right merrily until the clock toled
the hour of midnight, when the piper IA
pious many refused to play any longer !;
this was much against the wish of the guests
and so exasperated the bride, who was
fond of dancing, that she swore with an
oath she would not be baked in her enioy-
ment by beggarly piper, but would find a
substitute, if she went to the lower regions
to fetch one. She had scarcely uttered the

handkerchief was tied over Rosie's eyes.
But after awhile they all grew tired and
not with running and laughing, and soon
mamma came in and proposed having some
music "Do sing my favorite," whispered
Fred, as Mollie obediently sat down at the
piano "lfyou can find it" she answered

words when venerable old man, with a
long beard, made his appearance, and hay
ing listened TO their request, profered his
services, which were gladly accepted. The
old gentleman (who was no other than the
arch-fend himself) having taken the seat
vacated by the godly piper, commenced
playing slow and solemn air, which, on
the guests demonstrating, he changed into
one more lively and rapid The company
now began to dance, but soon found them
selves impelled round the performer SO
rapidly and mysteriously that they would
all fain have rested. Bat when they
essayed to retire they found to their
CONSERVATION that they we're moving
faster and faster round their diabolical
musician, who had now resumed his origi-
nal shape. Their cries for mercy were
unheeded, until the first glimmering Of
day warned the fend that he must depart
With such rapidity had they moved that
the gay and sportivs assembly were now
reduced to CHASTITY troop Of skeletons,
: leave you, said the fend, "a monument
of my power and your wickedness to the
end of time which saying, he vanished.
The villagers rising in the morning found
the meadows strewn with large pieces of
stone, and the piou8 piper lying under a
hedge, half dead with fright, he having
been witness to the whole transaction
Similar legends are also in existence in
various parts Of the kingdom, particularly
in the west of Cornwall. -FranE LeSZje'S

The Round Of Life.

Two children 1own by the shining strand,
With eyes as BIZ AS the summer sea,
While the sinking sun fills all the land
With the glow of golden mystery.
Laughing aloud at the sea-mew's cry,
Gazing with joy on its snowy breast,
Till the first star looks from the evening sky,
And the amber bars stretch over the west
A soft green dell by the breezy Shore
A sailor lad and maiden fair,
Hapd clasped in hand, while the tale of yore
Is borne again on the listening air,
For love is young though love be DID,
And love alone the heart can fill;
And the dear old tale that has been told
In the days gone by is spoken still.
A trim-built home on q sheltered bay;
A wife looking out on glistening sea;
A prayer for the loved one far away,
And prattling imps meath the old roof-tree;
A lifted latch and radiant face
BY the open door in the falling night;
A welcome home and warm embrace
From the love of his youth and children
bright
An aged man in an old armchair;
golden light from the western sky
His wife by bis side, with her sivered hair
And the open Book of God close by.
Sweet on the bay the cleaning falls,
And bright il the glow of the evening STAR
But dearer to them are the jasper walls
And the golden streets Of the Land afar.
An old churchyard on the green hillside,
Two lying still in their peaceful rest,
The fishermen's boats going out with the tide
In the fiery glow of the amber west.
Childrens laughter and old mems signs,
The night that follows the morning clear,
rainbow bridging our darkened skies,
Are the round of our lives from year to year.

EVENING THOUGHTS.

When the daily tasks are ended
At the calm and quiet eve,
When sweet peace is hov' ring DER us,
And no cares the spirit grieve;
Then our thoughts are wont to wander
Der the day that now is done;
We review our words and actions
From the morn til set of sun.
Comes, perhaps, the recollection
OF some deed of kindness done,
Some word, mayhap, fifty spoken,
Or omenoble work begun.
And does not the retrospection
Heart and mind with gladness fill,
Making lis, while looking backward,
Feel thrill of triumph still.
Shall we, when life's work is ended,
And the day is nearly done,
Thus look back on ev'ry triumph,
Ev'ry battle lost and won?
On the morning and the noontide,
With their pleasure and their pain
Shall it all be lived, | wonder,
In our memories again?
May the retrospection bring us
Not shadow of regret;
May we live that at the evetide
There IS naught would we forget

The POTATO AS A LUxURY.-Ths
potato, originally South American
plant, was introduced to Virginia by
Sir John in 1929, though it was un-
known in some counties in of Eng
land $50 years later. Potatoes were
served, perhaps as an exotic rarity, at
Harvard installation dinner in
17o7; but the plant was only brought
into culture in New England at the
arrival of the Presbyterian immi-
grants from Ireland in 1718. Five
bushels were accounted large crop
of potatoes for Connecticut farmer,
for it was held that ifa man ate them
every day, he could not live beyond
seven years.-Detroit Free Press.
