Poetess Admini.
Movxt Pi.hs.vnt, April 12. We r
VloaHl to so Mr. l.avton looking so well
after illness mitl ahle to make light in
the political campatKti.
Oeo. Ijuelle lias built an addition to his
house.
Sim Nef-ser spend much of Ms sire
lime improving his place.
lieo. KivUter, John Heinlrickson and l!oo.
Terry have all Ikvii cutting wood during the
past winter.
We aie hcginningto fear that Miss Kmnn
Hedges has become so enamored of Califor
nia that she has forgotten her Oregon home.
ltenj. Hendrickson returned home Willi
bis bride, nee Miss Russell, last Friday.
This is the tirst wedding that has occurred
in this vicinity for three years.
The school is progressing finely under the
direction of Miss Heattie. She is a popular
teacher as many pat.vns will attest.
Terpsichore still sits enshrined in the old
school house.
Now that spring has really decided to be
clothed in green, and the trees and flowers
are beginning to open their thousand
leaves, we feel prouder of Mount Pleasant
than ever. Among the homes that are
pleasantest and with which Nature has
been most prodigal, are Mrs, KlualH-th War
ner's " Ux-ust Farm," 0. 0. Williams's
'Fir Orvne," K. K. Kellogg's "White
Hall," Miss Mollie Holmes's " Kose Farm,"
and Wni, Partlow's farm, once Captain
Ainsworth's property, and known as " Ha
zel G reen." Among those who have a taste
for tiowen are Miss Clementine Martin,
Mrs. Ambrose Lawton, Miss Sarah Hen
(Iricksen, Miss Annie Fart low and Miss
Ella Williams.
Perhaps the finest view of Mount Hood is
caught from Fir drove, which reminds us
of Martiia Callahan Havward's sketch of
that peak:
"O. mounuiu beautiful aud grand!
As in the valley here I stand
And gaie upon thy lofty height.
Whose glittering crown retire! th light
Of changing skies, my wouderitie thoucht
Marvels at what licd's hand hath wrought.
Wrapped In yna unet' softer glow
Thy tender radiance seems to throw
Around my heart a deeper rharm;
Sets all my pulses thritliCK warm
With aspirations from above.
Of faith, and hope and sweeter love."
We should enjoy another poem from the
pen of our gifted Cams colleague; some
thing sentimental if we were left to choose.
We think of poetry as Ruckert expresses it :
" In sooth, a witching thins; Is poesy;
But whether poet
Ee the magician, or bewitched be.
Now who nuy know It"
It is said that the Swiss are ennobled by
their surroundings, and the towering Jung
frau (Yirxin) instils not only republican
spirit but virtue and morality. We are
equally blessed. Mount St. Helens stands
arrayed in all her virgin splendor; and is
there any one so so exalted or yet one
plunged so low in the vortes of crime who
will not pause to admire and benefit bv
spotlss purity? No! unless, as Trench says, ! " delegates to the county conven-"si-miavbe
clasped so tight that we can-i,ion: Henry Nachand, Richard Ula.-.-pool,
not see its lace.''
" We get back our mete as we measure
We cannot Jo wrong ni feel ritrtit,
Nurcan we give pain and gain pleasure,
For j'l.-tif-e avenge each slight.
The air for the wing of the sparrow,
The bush torthe robin and wren,
But always the path that is narrow
And .-traight for the children of men."
VOX Ht MANIA.
