Oh, sisler dear, were you but hore,
These beautiful .eights to see, .- -Where
the grass is green, and flowers
; seen, .
1 And young leaves on the trees.
And then to see those sparkling rills,
Come leaping from the snow capped hills,
1 Laughing, leaping, skipping, playing,
, . .Never stopping on its way,
Until it reaches Columbia Baf
r "And mingles in the Ocean,
Jiut before it changes from a rill
It strikes the wheels of these noble mills
And sets all their gear in motion.
All the streams that are running here,
Are sweet and cold, and pure aud clear.
Through winter's blast, and summer sun,
.They never cease their course to run
Through the entire year.
And, then to Fee that mountain high,
Its tree tops pointing towards the sky,
- Three hundred feet or more.
And the beautiful cedar, standing by,
Its peaked top almost as high
Ashe majestic yellow fir.
And from this lofty mountain height
To viev the Valley, dotted o'er
With house and farm, and church and
school,
And commerce at the door.
" The tree?, all bending dcAvn with fruit,
And grapes upon the vines;
And as the seasons roll around
They all come in their time.
This is the place where now I dwell,
Far from my former home, ,
Ajid for yourake, my pen I take,
And write this little poem.

A Tkue Story. Tripping down
tic stairway once, long ago, we fell, shatter
ing a large, lighted fluid lamp. In a moment
the blaze wrapped us around like a fiery
serpent. Every tragedy has a comic side :
Bridget tossed the baby on the bed, and ran
for water; aunt Mary seized the spread to
extinguish the flames, and pulled baby down
on the floor; Jane came up from the kitchen
and put out every light then burning, 'cause
the house was aiire, imd Bridget, returning
with a tub cf water, tumbled down, upset
the wuter and bumped her nose. Meanwhile
:w; rolled over and over on the floor, till ti.e
liame was extinguished, when one arm was
found to be terribly burned. Then bow
quickly Davis' Pain Killer soothed the pain,
and to-day, with a hand and arm unmarred
by any scar, we write the paises of Pain
Killer, valuable for many an ill and ache.
