;the independent. i'r . '-rC. ... i'. HILLSBORO USECTARIAN. President Marsh of Pacific Uni versity made an announcement from the pulpit in the Methodist church at this place two Sabbath s since which surprised and pleased many. He declared for the policy adopted by a convention of Presbyterians and Congregationalists last year in the East that in town t too small ibr the support of two churches that the two denominations should unite, the de nomination having the start in any town or place to receive the support of both. But the Doctor took even broader and less sectarian ground than than that Convention. He fav ored the.support of any one of the evangelical chuiches by all the christians of tne place where two churches would burden the commu nity and starve the minister. He did not believe it honorable for the people in this country where wealth is so evenly distributed anil every body in good circumstances, to ask ior funds from the East donated by widows and orphans to support our ministers. But where we divide up the christian people into t o or three churches in every little town they instinctively look somewhere else for a part of the means for the support of their minister. He did not advise the Congregationalists at Hillsboro to unite with the Metho dist church. He only expressed his own individual opinion. He be lieved that all the churches were coming to the acceptance of Christ for their Savior as the common ba sis of their faith and fellowship. He was done with sectarianism. He hoped he would never think of such small ness any more. i He never would preach again to a denomina tion, but to the people, and for Christ. ' Our Itemizers- The Independent has already gained an efficient corps of itemizers in this county, and who gather us the news in their neighborhoods be cause they are alive and active and take an interest in their county pa per and the progress of their own home institutions. Our correspon-t dents atJBeaverton, Middleton.Glen cce. The Grove, Dilley, Gaston.Cor nelius, all have our heartfelt thanks for their help. Few men have the talent for gath ering the neighborhood news and picking the wheat out of the chaiT and straw and sending tlo e'e xn grains to the newspaper grisf-mill. And fewer still is the number wh. can write out thft items afer they have gathered them, in a brief, pointed and compact style. Of course news items should not be bare bones; they need some of the tlesh of hnmor and wit upon them to make them palatable. Now we have gained these itemi zers and we do not intend to let them go if we can help it. We are also under obligations to all of our contributors for their pro ductions and ask a continuance of their favor. There is one clnss of people how ever whose communication we in vite the farmers. Our columns are open to this class for the discus sion of matters pertaining to their work and interests. Good for the State Not so "flood for tlie County. Sheriff Tozier, in collecting taxes for this county finds that several es tates have been doubly assessed. Now the county will be considerably loser by this. For every double as sessment, the State collects a double tax off of ths county while the latter can collect tax on only ope assesss taent. These double assessments arise fr.wn the sal of property inethe . county to parties who settle upon the same, by non-residents, and , the & a W m . Assessor, not Knowing mat any transfer has boen made, assesres the property twice, nrst on tne premis es when he is making his rounds. and then from the books containing , a list of non-residents to whom the property was assessed the previous Tear. Sheriff Tozier has found a ar way by which to avoid - these vexa tious double assessments, and that , ! bv indicating anr transfers of property made by non-residents, on the books where their names occur. TOTHECOLUZXBIA. For long Ages had the shock of elemental Warfare rent the mountain chains and ground to Sand the ancient rocks, before thy waters, Gathered from increasing mints and melting Snows, rolled first where now they roll; be fore tne Gods of time wrote here their hieroglyphs and Scrawled upon these seamed and tjf lint red crags. The tally-scores of years in haste to pass. Aeons and aeons ground to dust, blinding 'The road we came! Thou, O, many-voiced ColumHa. seem'st of a later birth. No echoes mad'st ikon here when light trst rent The vail of earth. Yet dare we call thee young. Or lay our hands upon the age which brought Thee forth? The greedy sum of years tkat man Has flung aside, would like a pebble sink Within thy depths and there remain. Time, slumbering harily amid the ; Dim monotony of primal times leaped ! To his feet when first thy flood began its Course. 4 k L walks m'lYh stride where then Reclined. Unfold thy memories, River; remembrances imprisoned in Thy voice, and in thy noiseless breath, and in Thy restless haste, awaiting but the soul To call them forth. Is not thy heary thrill Resounding on these hoary walls as old As they? Dost thou not chant the songs of other Tunes, and smite the harp-strings tuned ten thousand Years ago? Thus sang thy waves when tented Tribes were wandering along thin? earlier Bounds, and in thy present tone we catch the Hum of feet, the click of horses' hoofs, the Flap of tents blown by the wind. Still sang thy Waves the same slow monotone when un known Kings were warring here for brief dominion ; Victors and vanquished thus have fought and died While as a drop of amber folds some insect In a crystal tomb, dost thou preserve for Us the burden of their song. One chord, most Solemn of them all, was snatched by thee from Solitude: for when the uncouth mastodons Th;it slaked their thirst along thy tribuiftry Streams, and all the monsters which of old held Brutal sway, had strewn their skeletons about The hills, when man, the last, the proudest, and Most brief, had dwindled down to nothing ness, The Thought that brought thee forth ruled over thee Alone, and charged thy waves with thoughts of llim. Oh, what floods of sound, what rainbow h'-ies, what Heights, immeasurable, what gleaming snows, Sights, sounds and sense are all commingled here ! How the sea-wind shrieks throuf h the nar row pass. Reverberating on the naked bluffs! The lost wail of centuries seeking bound And finding none The glinting light of Sun or moon that shot past rugged battle ments And then was treasured in the flood, now Rises up again to drape the dizzy Heights. Snow, mountains, darkness, and the falling Streams are but remembrances of older Days. W only blot the dream. Or do the Hills and waters know their ags? the moon and Stars know theirs? Does nature read her calendars Herself? In these unfolded memories. We ever find our own. For what contains The past but prophecies to come? Is not The past itself the future's memory? Tell us, river, if Thou hast not been the worshpped deity Of some unstoried race. For men ascend By steps f rem god to god, and thou perhaps Hast had thy turn, though superseded now, The god ef sight and beauty, first, and then The god of love and thought. The warr'y Moloch thou hast been of many A sacrifice. To propitiate thy Wrath, mothers have fed thee on the livts - Intrusted to thy care : maidens and the Noblest youths, adorned with flower and decked In sacrificial lovliness, have been Consecrated to thy hand, and hushed on Thy oozy bed still wait thy pard'ning voice, As others wait in vain the voice of other Gods. The pageant of the past Fades out again, while life adjusts his load And stumbles on. We leap the intervening Gap of years and find ourselves still living Where we were. And yet we still have double Sight, and when the river sobs and moans in Varied tones, and when the dusk obscures the Ragged edges of these rock-castles of Maiestie height, we see them crowned anew with citadels, with huts and lonely tents, And the steamboat on the rocking tide fades Into some fantastic semblance to our dream.
