understood by man; but still it will come to lift
u abovu tlio sorrows of life chilled by its
foanil:i; waves, as it dashes so mercilessly
urouud us into tho exceeding brightness of that
glorious sunshine, beyond tho dim sliodowa flint
veil tho river of death.
I.i tho beautiful drama of Jon, tho instinct of
immortality, so eloquently uttered by the death
devoted Greek, finds a deep responso in every
thoughtful soul. When about to yield his young
existence as a saerilico tt fate, his beloved
Clemantho asks if they shall not meet again, to
which ho replies : "lhavousked that dreadful
oiiestion of the hills that look eternal of the
clear streann that flow forever ot tho stars,
among whose field of azure my raised spirit hath
walked in glory. All were dumb. Hut when 1
gazo upon thy living face, I feel that there is
something in tho love, that mantles through its
beauty that canont wholly perish. We shall
meet again Clemantho."
Oh! how beautiful the sentiment, "we shall
meet again." Welcome, thrice welcome to our
souls tho light of this glorious hope. Hope
epends not nil its inspiration in lending us
tiirougn " iitos laden gloom, it lays up many
precious treasures in the quiet depths of the soul,
tnero to live till circling angels shall remove
them to a more congenial clime lighted by the
oldeu horizon of tho great hereafter. There
may our fond spirits linger until freed from this
tabernacle of clay they mako their glad return to

"To tho traveller nmong the mountains of
Switzerland, thero is said sometimes to bo vis
ible mi imago of himself, pictured in gigantic
proportions, and with gorgeous colors, on the
clouds in advenco of him. So, on tho cloudy
canvass of our futurity wo sometimes catch
glimpses of ourselves transfigured and glorified,
w grand and godlike that we can never hope in
this world to answer to that glowing ideal ; but
in tho life beyond, 1 doubt not we shall far trans
oendit; and then, perhaps, new ideals of truth
mid goodness will riso before our vision coi-tin-
ually, as wo walk upward and onward through
tho sliming pathway of eternity.
How beautiful are these loving intimations
of unyielding hope. Those feelings aro like
cherislicj memories of absent friends. Let us en
(leaver to feel and profit by their holy influences.
It will dispel the darkness of earthly woes which
havo so long obscured our mortal visions and

Since this is our faith, anchored upon tho glo
rious faith of immortality and heaven for all, let
us learn to welcome every experience of life
knowing that whether good or ill, mournful or
rejoicing, they nre ordained of God for tho well
being of his children whom ho so dearly loves.
And now kind friends, wo will apply these
consoling truths to tho allotted duty before us.
You know thsj reason of our present meeting
it is to pay tho last tribute of respect to sweet
Lenora Skinner, and consolation to her mourning
friends. Uricfly will I refer to tho alllietions of
this family.
Early in life, and bafore their immigration to
the far west, Brother and Sister Skinner were
called upon to surrender three loving daughters
to tho relentless destroyer. low heavily did the
burden lay upon their hearts. But tini', the
sweet soother of sorrow, soon sinothed their
rullL'd pillow, and gave thorn a season of peace
and joy. In 1815 they emigrated to tho Pacific
coast. A few years, and a sweet little angel was
given them ; and Mary proved to bo an angel in
deed. Sho was the idol of her parent's mansion-
the joy of their hearts, and well beloved by nil
who knew her. Few excelled her in tho amiable
qualities. of Iifi. Generous and nlf ctionate, as
sho was pure and exalted, sho beeanio at once
tho center of attraction for loving souls. Hut
tho earth was too gross for her finer sensibilities.
Two years ago sho was transported to a fairer
uud n brighter clime ; and her parents were letl to
mourn. The consolation they so greatly needed,
was well expressed in tho obituary published at
tho time. 'e reproduce it as a worthy tribute
of tlio departed.

Possessed of all thoso noble qualities, so conspic
uous in her sister, she early became a cherished
idol in her parents home, as well as in the hearts
of all who knew her. How painful aro tho
records of her denth. At nearly fourteen years
of ago sho was sent from home for tho purpose
of attending school. But, alas tho uncertainty
of life. Man can plan, but God alone executes.
In a few short days, and after u brief illness, sho
was returned for tho solemn rites of sepulchur.
When tho aged and infirm are taken away, wo
find no cause .to mourn. Hut when death blasts
tho brightening prospects of youth ; our souls
revolt at tho scene, and too often refuse to be
comforted.
Of Lenora wo can scarcly speak to highly.
Sho was a fitting example for many who were
older in years ; and even the aged might learn
wisdom from tho fidelity of her ways. Young,
and cheerful ; she was never more pleased than
when found at tho post of duty administering
to the wants' of tho needy ; standing by tho bed
side of tho sick, and softening the couch of the
suffering. Sho is missed sadly missed from her
circle. Her companions will mourn her absence;
her friends, the brightest links of friendship ; her
brothers and sisters, the wisdom of her council,
and tho purity of her example ; and her parents,
tho sweetness of her consolation. Yes, in her
death, the pall of univsrsal gloom has settled on
all around. Hy onr own aflliction we are better
prepared to sorrow with you, whose idol has fal
len whoso Lenora is no more. No more I
did I say ? Tell it not, lest bleeding hearts
should break. She still lives lives in loving
hearts, as well as in that house of " many man.
sions," whither wo aro all fast hastening, to rest
with Jesus. There, O ! there, and there alone,
can loving friends receive tho fond embrace again.
"fiod keeps n niuho
In heaven for all our iilols. Ami although
He brake them to our faces, ami denied
That our close kisses should impair their white,
We know we shall behold them raised, the dust
Shook from their beauty, cloriticd new ilomnons
Singing in the great God-light."
I know, mourning narcnts, that your shattered
hopes can find but feeble consolation in thy bro
ken home circle. Two of the brighicst lights have
been transplanted to tho more congenial soil of
a clime " till fair and bright." Your joy c an
never bo full, until you claim again your darling
children, and complete your family circle in
heaven. Nor is that day very distant ; for, from
tho day of our birth, wc are standing with one
foot upon the brink of tho tomb. To day we
may "eat, drink and bo merry ; but to-morrow
wo die." In viewing tho objects around you, I
know that you must bo lonely indeed. The va j
cant chair ; tho neglected wardrobe ; tho gifts of
friendship ; the casket of cherished memories
ear jowels, linger rings, and book marks-wrought
with their own little hands ; tho pictures upon
tho wall ; and, what is more, sweet faces per
fected shadows of tho real speak of loved ones,
as their own bright shadow, only can. Although
the substance of their forms have faded from
mortal view, yet their image is preserved to thee,
as a keep sake to cheer thy declining years. I
know that you can see but dimly, through this
glass of mortality ; but the period is soon com
intr. when faith will ho lost to sight, and tho glo
rious fruition of hope will bring you " face to .
face," with the dear departed. Al'-y yri vill;
witli them in peace. May this domled present
be light and cheerful, and through an eternity of
ages, may you enjoy tho sunshine of their smiles
mado glorious by the light of infinite love.
Hy faith, we sec a Father's hand in the sternest
disciplines of life. This faith teaches us tho use
of sorrow. It binds th-J Christians armor upon
us, and causes the mourner to lay hold on God,
and tho wiso principles of I lis government,
which nre all concluded in infinite wisdom,
boundless love, almighty power, and all sustain
ing goodness. With this faith wc can pass bold
ly through life's most dangerous ways and sor
row's darkest night like Saul ; counting these
" light nlllietions of the present time, ns not
worthy to bo compared to tins glory that shall
bo revealed in us." Faith will steady our tot
tering steps through tho uncertain wavs of life,
and lead in triumph to the very summit-love! of
perpetual calm, away m the paradise otdod.
There, perennial joy shall dispel tlio gloomy
mysteries of life, and the surrounding universe
shall brighten into new creations of bcautv and
loveliness.
"Oh, why should the hearts of beleivers be sad.
Or religion be elotbed in the vestments of gloom?
In heaven above there are mine but the glad,
And wo are their kindred, and heaven our home.
Weep we for the living, the cruel, the vain.
The proud aud self-righteous, who seotl'atour faith;
Hut the infinite Love, even them shall reelaiin,
L'nbeliet shall be lost in the life bevond dattu"
This, mourning parents this is your faith the
substance of all your future hopes. May you
find itsuflieieiit to bear you up, and give yoi
comfort when all earthly comforts fail. Tears
may dim your eyes, but they are tokens of love,
which cive the asurauce that yon miss sadlv
miss your dear Lenora. Your souls w ill never
auain thrill with delight at the music of her voice.
Her smiles will never more calm the burden of
your grief. Life may never again appear so
cheerlul, but brighter will be your anticipations
of heaven. Hold fast, I entreat you, this all
sustaining faith. It will reveal to you the bloom-;

ADimt:ss to Tim amkiucvx peoflu.
Fellow citizens of America : Do you know
and appreciate that our nation is this moment
cither on tho brink of ruin, or just on ilia evo of
its resurrection morn? Do you know that you
live in a moment which requires each of you to
assist in
tao resurrection ol tins Great Amer.'
ican Republic 1 Do you know how much do
volves on you ns individuals ? Do you feel that
you have something to do ? Oh, yes, is the an
swer. But aro you willing to do your duty ?
Aro you willing to put forth all your energies
toward establishing tho right and crushing out
tho wrong? Are you willing to assist all in
your power in putting down this rebellion ?
aro you willing to do this, though it cost you all
ilia tender lies that bind you to earth ? If you
u-n not. thiMi rivst assured thj.t the. hour is not fir
distant, wTien
the. Almighty will call each indi
vidual soul to account for duty non-performed.
Do you know tliat we, as a nation have lived
a lie nil the years of our country's riso and
prosperity ? Wo can feel that this is true
though tlio knowledge is painful to our self
respect, to our honor as a people, that we have
lived fdse to ourselves, to our country, and to
our God. Wo know that this chargo is harsh
and unpleasant to tha cars of the conservative
man, yet we feel that wc speak tho truth. True,
many havo wished to see the right established,
but have you each aud all exerted yourselves to
maintain tho right and crush tho wrong ? Many
will say yes; but, question yourselves, and see
if you have at all times done your duty fearless
ly, and wholly independent of something which
has too long exercised power over you as in
dividuals. Oh, Americans! that something is tho tide of
public opinion, and the timo has now come,
when every one should act for himself, referring
the righteousness of his conduct to none but the
God of his internal being. Tho time has now
come when onr fair emblems of freedom can no
longer float over us as a people where liberty
dues not exist, but where slavery in its various
forms has so long dwelt in undisturbed security ;
ye, and received tho protection of us, who knew
the evils of the accursed institution. We tell
yon there is not a groan or a sigh, at this moment
inning from tho battle-field or hospital, but what
bears with it to the homes cf all a certain degree
of power for good or evil ; a power which shall,
in the end, wash cut the wrong that has so long
held its court in the midst of our fair Republic.

The Kiehmoiid 1F7ii, of the 20th, In m
editorial on nfl'airs in Kentucky, says a retro
grade movement has greatly disappointed and
mortified our people, and dashed the fond hopes
which they had formed for the liberation of
Kentucky and Tennessee. We had reasonably
expected of the niagnifficient army of Bragg
something liiore than a mere cneourager to tho
neighborhood of the Ohio river : we anticipated
something more than boastful orders and sound
ing proclamations. Ilia long delay at Tupeh
his hesitancy at Cliatanooga, and his tardy ad
vance into Keiicucky, have shaken public con.
fill en ce in him. In Kentucky movements in
the hands of Bragg, have turned out to bo
simply a fai'nre, and a magnificent failure.

Fat Malone, in his last issue of the dis- Union
says: " that n motley bauj of abolitionists
gathered together in Eugene about n week ago
to throw the Iieyister office into the river, but
that a few stanch Democrats of Lane comity,
showed a disposition to defend it, and the Ten.
gralians concluded to postpone the job."
Now it is patent to nil thnt Pat is the biggest
liar that has ever disgraced on editorial sanctum
on this coast. In the above paragraph he haa
removed the last remainig doubt, of even the
most credulous, of his proclivity for lying. It he
had said that the tories had been threatning to
throw tho Kepcblicax office into the river, he
would have been guily of one truth in his life.
