THE BIRTH OF THE OPAL.

The Sunbeam loved the Mocnbeem,
Aud followed her low and high;
But the Moonbeam fed and hid her head,
She was so shy-so shy.
The Sunbeam woed with passion;
All, he was lover bold
And his heart was affre with mad desire
For the Moonbeam pale and cold.
She fed like dream before him,
Her hair was a shining sheen
And oh, that Fate would annihilate
The space that lay between
just as the day lay painting
In the arms Of the twilight dim,
The Sunbeam caught the enc he sought
And drew her close to him
But out of his warm arm, startled
And stirred by Loves first shock,
She sprang afraid, like trembling maid,
And hid in the niche of Il rock.
And the Sunbeam followed and found her,
And led her to Loves own feast;
And they were wed on that rocky bed,
And the dying Day was their priest.
And. 10 the beautiful Opal
That rare and wondrous gem
Where the moon and the sun blend into one
Is the child that was born to them.

FAITH
[ ask not the world Of science

ask not the world Of science
For proof of my Fathers might,
How long the world has been swinging
Through ages of darkest might;
! question not His power
Or doubt His holy grace,
but know my Saviour iiyeth,
And long to behold His face.
o beautiful faith that Strengthens
AS the years creep slowly on.
o beautiful hope that cannot die.
Though the joy of the world be gone.
l love to dream of that heaven,
To picture its perfect rest
To hearts that have grown world weary,
And reached its shores so biest.

Long ABSENCE

cago spent last evening in the city, re-
newing old friendships that he had formed
in Olympia when last here, more than
twenty years ago.
Olympia Of today is not the Olympia Of
twenty years ago. y he said, answering the
question whether he noticed any change in
the capital city since last residing here.
ut has wonderfully improved" he con-
tlnued, heaving a sigh that would seem to
imply that he regretted having left here
before the arrival of the real estate boom.
Then it had but half thousand tinhabi-
tants; now | am informed its population
runs close to 10000. But few of
the men who | knew in those days now
reside in the city. General McKenney,
George Shannon, Ross O'Brien and Gov
ernor Ferry are the only men that / can
now call to mind. Governor Ferry was
then the surveyor general Of the territory

of Major Hayden, who was, if remember
rightly collector of internal revenue /
frequently visited in those days the site of
the present city of Tacoma. 1t was then a
wilderness, dark and impenetrabIe. If /
am surprised at the growth and prosperity
of Olympia, what must be my sensations
when gaze upon Tacoma? I believe
Olympia has future, but one which must
be developed by her people. twill always
be to a great extent the center
Of the best society Of the state
