As we stepped across the little path we
came to the grave of the Aleotts. Could
simplicity farther go? Not even fenced
in, five little white marble head-stones
with rounded tops, not more than two feet
in hight, stood guardian over the graves.
On the furthermost was carved i. VI. A.,
IS32-1SSS. The ever active facile hand
and fertile brain that had created Laurie,
and his Little Women" that had made
us laugh and cry by turns over JOS vaga-
ries, AmY,s ambitions, Meg's -eaurtshiEpy
and Beth's unselEsh life; that had pict-
ured Polly sliding down hill on Boston
Common, and the Little Mem in thou
sand and one bewitching naughtinesses,
the loving heart that could not exist with
out her well-beloved parent, beneath this
stone now lay forever STILL Near her
rested Amy" herself, the beloved sister
who won such fame abroad as an artist,
short married life, left her little daughter
Louisa Nieriker to be tenderly brought up
by her aunt. Beside "Amy" rested the
other "Little Woman" whose early death
lent such pathos to the tale. At the end
of the pathetic little row rests the hoary
head Of Amos Bronson Alcott, marked
simply A. B A., 1799-1SSS. A few faded
lilies were lying on Louisa Alcott's grave.
q There's Emerson's grave beyond said
our driver. We paused, spell-bound. Pure
and glowing with tender color, as if it had
been caressed by the touch of "rosy-fns-
cred Dawn herself, great mass Of rose
quartz lowered above the spot-no name,
no date. Itspoke for itself; its beauty, pu-
rity and strength were as imperisha5le as
the memory of Emerson himself. Reluct-
antly we turned away from Emerson,s
grave. As we repassed Miss Alcott's the
whole mound was covered with fresh white
pond lilies just placed there.-Ne1e York

MEADOWS cE REST.

With flowers besprent, where my young days
were spent.
Where the birds their nurslings rear.

Where my feet turned oft TO the meadows of
rest
remember grave In those meadows,
Where slumbered a laughing eyed boy;
Death found him at play. he lured him away,
And with him went half our joy.
We nodded the turf that his feet had pressed.
And kept his grave green in the meadows OF
rest
/ remember silver-haired father,
Who walked by the river wave
To watch the reeds grow, or the sweet waters
flow,
Or to muse by that little grave.
He has passed long ago to the home he loved
best,
To the infinite peace of Gods meadows OF
rest
/ wonder if green are those meadows
If purling and clear are the streams
If the moon shines as bright if the stars give
such light
AS they did in my youths happy dreams.
o, angels OF destiny, heed my request:
Give me back, give me back my dear meadows

After the baby came, how changed the place
The old home Enlightened with a newer grace;
The roses grew more thickly round the door,
And softer were the sunbeams on the floor;
Full sweeter was the song of every bird
From that glad day his little voice was heard
Growing and wooing in such queer delight
But there was more walking done at night.
After the baby came.
After the baby came it seemed as though
Earth could not be so full of grief and woe;
That all the gates of happiness and bliss
We're opened to US through that baby's kiss
Master was he of wondrous tricks and arts
BY which he won his way into our hearts,
From that first hour was heard his feeble wall
Yet, how barked my shins at midnight, pale
After the baby came.

THE Advertiser of Hayes Valley


THE Advertiser of Hayes Valley,
San Francisco, truly says:
"Our great railway monopolists of
the East have vainly tried to get
control of the Grand Trunk, and
other lines, in the British DOmin-
ions-determined to do so because
their roads have cost so much less
than our own and can therefore beat
them in the competition for traffic.
"But no sooner was the Canadian
Pacific finished than our monopOlists
were driven to desperation. All
the great transcontinental lines are
bound to be under one control.
This is the great conspiracy of the
age. 1t is a deliberate attempt to
wrest Canada from the British en-
pire, for the one sole object of con-
trolling the great lines Of railway
there.
at is a conspiracy by several
hundred of the great monopOlists,
on both sides of the line. Their
object is to lay broad and deep the
foundations of mighty railroad
empire, under one dominion. And
already tens of thousands of poor
fools are helping to whoop it up W

HOME PAPERS.

Although it is better by far to have
but few we'll patrOnized papers
than forty thousand bob-tailed nuis-
ances leading a starved life, yet the
very fact that city like Portland
supports but one daily newspaper
is one of the symptoms that account
for the very slow growth of Oregon.
The people Of Oregon do not make
the effort they ought, if they desire
more neighbors. Experience proves
that the largest number OF desirable
settlers in the new states have been
induced to come there by the exam
pie and efforts made on them by
former acquaintance who pioneered
the way, and sent back letters and
newspapers from their new homes.
Just imagine that you have no news
paper in your county. How would
it be? So when you are asked to
subcribe for a home paper don't
reply, "I take a Portland paper
now.u Yet this is. the invariable
excuse here.

It is a calamity of the direst kind to feel
that ones physical energies are failing in

more dispirited, weaker every day. Yet
this is the unhappy lot tofhundreds around

science approves, in behalf of which multi
tudes of the debilitated have and are every
day testifying, and which, in countless in
stances, has built up constitutions snpped
by weaknesses and fnfirmity and long un-
benefited by other means, surely com
mends itself to all who need tonic.

Pittsburg Dispatch: A few minutes
after the fall of the Wiley build
ing on Wednesday last, while a
crowd was gathering 10 view the
ruins in which SO many mangled and
dead people lay, stranger who was
gazing at the wrecked structures from
the opposite side Of Wood street entered
into conversation with Dtspatch re
porter. Said he:
"For about five years on every week
day | have passed along that side of
Wood street at about the honr this ter
rible disaster occurred. To-day / was
on my way TO Fifth avenue, and had
reached the Chamber of Commerce
Building when a sudden impulse came
upon me to take the other side Of the
street. / crossed over, and before !
reached the sidewalk the crash came.
Had kept along as | was going ] would
have been in front of the Weldin build
ing just in time to be crushed by bricks
and falling timber. ] can no more ec-
count for the action which probably
saved my life than you can; | simply
felt that must do II, and do not know
that felt even premonition of danger.
Years ago escaped being robbed and
possibly murdered In way that was
equally remarkable. AT the time was
collector in the province Of Ontario.
One bitter cold winter evening | found
myself In small town about fifty miles
from Toronto, with large sum OF money
in my possession. Having determined
to 20 TO Toronto that night on the 0
o'clock train | telegraphed TO the hotel
where usually stopped and asked that
a room be reserved for me and fire put
in 1t. When the train came along got
on the front of the smoking car, walked
through that car, through the next one,
then got off and went to the telegraph
office and sent another message to the
Toronto hotel, stating that l had changed
my mind and was not coming that night
What made me do so was more than |
could tell-the same inde6nablc impulse
that controlled me to-day had possession
of me.
81 went back to the house where / had
taken supper and remained there all
night. The next morning read In the
Toronto paper, Of an assault and at
tempted robbery of man who had ar.
rived in that city on the train / was co.
ing to take but did not. The man was
sandbagged while on his way from the
depot to the hotel, and from the descrip-
tion given he must have been my exact
counterpart-dress, size, color of hair
and even the cut of his whiskers, being
like my own. Tho thugs had mistaken
him for me, and they knew had money.
