Oh, 1 1 I Bryant's burning pen.
Their hnrtUliipi t rotate,
Tlioir aching bono anl Raping ouinl,
Their tatUrnl, mangled state !
Ami whmi,' with nUl ami gallant IreaJ,
Thev Mt Uioho ncro's ot tri(p,
'then I'ncln rim came to their aid,
To help tlioui on thiuiigh life.
A pension to each crippled Yet,
Our j;rtituil to p.y.
Waa teiulprril by the gvrrnuiei:t
To givo of hope one ray.
Not on of I hem catue from the ar
With the health he had before,
Ami nearly every rtate has built
A bbiue with optu door,
That every veteran, old and ray,!
Can willingly faes through ;
Put it rulea they en n not have a home,
And all their enioiiB too.
Some to the O. S. homo have come
To spend their derliniuc years.
Oh, take uot from theiu the paltry sum
That wai earned with blood and tears!
Ye, dearly earned by daring deeds
And sufferings untold,
Oh, let them keep tiieir petition now,
Since they have all grown old !
For age is stamped on every Irow,
Youth vigor left each one,
And history pages eoou alone
Can tell their brave deeds done.
Then give them homo and pensions both
To enjoy life w hilo it lasts,
For much" has uot been given them,
Since thirty years have pasted.
What signifies this pittance,
To Oregon to grand,
With flocks and herds on every hill,
And plenty in the land.
To these old crippled veterans,
What does it mean to them,
A throb of independenoe.
So dear to sons of wen ?
From some unpatriotic tongues
Arose the hue and cry,
"No soldier does deserve that sum,
It makes the taxes high."
But in our nation's struggle,
All would aarJy have been lost,
Had our conntry's brave defenders
Once stopped to count the cost.
And Orgon's great journalist
Has dipped his pen in gall,
And attacked tho fame of uiou who ttooU
Before him like a wall,
While he, the doughty editor,
!so bravely stayed at heme
And skulked behind their bayo net,
And prayed lor peace to come.
Oh you, ye grave committee men,
The arbiters of fate,
Selected for your wisdom,
And business talent great,
Will not your geueiusity,
The paltry earn return,
And those soldiers' heartfelt gratitude
Twill cost you naught to earn !
Take not their independence,
In the land they fought to save;
For though their lot is not bo hard,
It seems so like a elavo.
No chance to take a pleasure trip,
But aged, weak and mild,
To have a home, they must epend their
years,
Disciplined like a child.
Now Oregon's dear people,
So generous, kind and true,
Th we men bereft of health and strength,
Make their last appeal to you.
You will sirew your fbwera on the
graves,
When death has chilled the brow
Of those old veterans once so brave,
Ob, give your flowers now !

Making a Royal Bed,
Every one knows the famous tale of
the princess who couldnot sleep because
under her many mattresses a pea was
lodged. In reality the ancient royalties
were just as fussy, to judge from the
strange roles of etiquette which Bur
roundel tbe most trivial objects.
The following is a true account of the
way bis majesty, Henry VII of England,
bad bis royal bed made. It is taken
from an old manuscript and it is cer
tainly amusing.
"Tbe curtains mutt be drawn aud a
gentleman ueber most hold tbe curtains
together; then must two squires of the
body stand at tbe bed's head, and two
yeomen of the frown at the bed's feet,
and all tbe stuff laid safe at the bed's
feet on a carpet till the contents of tbe
pailhaese were remade.
"Then a yeoman to leap upon the bed
and roll him up and down and array tbe
litter; then to lay down tbe canvas
again, then the feather bed, and beat it
well, and make it even and smooth.
Then take the fustian (under blanket;
and cast it upon the bed without any
wrinkles and the sheet in the same
wise."
The sheet is now tlroked smooth,
tucked under the feather bed, and over
it is laid "t'other etutl" that is to say,
the npper sheet, blatikets aud fustian,
and tbe covering' of marten's fur and
ermine.
A sheet of Keunes was laid on tbe spot
destined for the pillow e and a large rug
of ermine was placed ocr tho bed, and
tbe bedclothes were brought up to the
edge cf the pillow and neatly turned
down.
Finally "a yeoman was requited to
beat the pillows and throw them up to
the squires to lay them on the bed head,
as pieauetb tbe lung's grace.
No wonder that squires, giutlomcu
and yeomen retired after these efforts,
and, as tbe chronicler assures us, had
good drink.
Recent trench statistics show that
while the number of adult criminals in
creased 11 percent, during the laut dozen
years, tbe number between the ages of
eixteen and twenty increased 'twenty
five per cent. In Pans, more than half
the criminals arrested aro under twenty
one. Similar tendencies aro manifest In
England and bermany and in tbia couO'
try. American criminologists have re
posted ly called attention to tho increase
of juvenile crime. Probably a variety of
causes operate to produce mis rosult;
but iuH tbejeouutrios luou'ioned, and in
ours uot least, one of the chief causes is
tbe publication of tho sensational details
of crime. The president of the New
York aooioty for the Prevention of Cru
elty to Children, iu his last report, de
clarod that the chief ugunuy iu training
tha young iu vico is viciouu journalism.
The papers which piiut lurid btories of
oriujo, vividly il uit'st d. aud g ve elab
orate sketches of criminals, lead young
readers to imagine that there ia come
thing btroiu or rouiitlo iu criminal
career. '
