A good newspaper, says the Orego-
ztan, is good thing any day in the
week, Sunday included, while a bad
newspaper is just as bad for any other
day as for Sunday. The good news
paper is an instrument of morality as
well as the pulpit; the bad newspaper
should have no standing anywhere.

The state has been charged in all cases

How weird the night-wiflds steal
Along the heath. i feel
a spirit ofthe oi,ien time
ConminSling with their silver chime
The olden time when WAS young
And earth's bitterness had not wrung
Ny soul with anguish. Sad the day
When its bright memory fades away.
Ofother days when life was How,
And childhood, with unselfish love,
Gazed in their diamond depths above.
The soul of nature seems tonight
Attuned to strain of pure delight,
And mine doth beat in unison,
And the deep feelings coming on
lmpel mo back to days long gone,
Again i'll nfant paths stray,
mark the dancing streamiet' g way,
l wanton with its plashing spray,
Or with the butterfly i play,
Out on the wild;
Or now upon my nurse's knee,
Close where the ingle bl.Zes free,
list her tale
Her wondrous tale of airy sprites,
Aud ogres Soen on stormy nights,
And their loud wall.
And things that stayed just DER the hill
Or haunted by the old stone mill,
Or by the churchyard fingered near.
Things bloody, dark and full of fear.
list till in my fancy's train
Sleep brings their awful shapes again.
Or now my mothers song hear,
For music ever charmed my ear
Her song of times long, long gono by,
or frobel feIds and warriors high,
OF sorrowjng maidens love oppressed,
And how his wrongs were oft redres>ed,
And as The strains so sweetly rise,
Just higher than tho night wind cries,
ConnlinSled with tho moaning sound
or that old wheel whirred round and round
How soft within my downy nest,

The nIrse's tales. my mothers songs, tn
