WHERE THE CHESTNUTS USED TO CIBOW. 11V llOM.N ItoVEU. Hoighol tho leave aro falling From the maplo tree at last! Tho autumn brcczo is whispering, "Tho summer timo ho past." Ah, well do I remember A sununor long ago, In tho green and shady woodland, ' ' ' Where tho chestnut used to growl Ah, well do I rcmcmW, With Nelly's hard in mine, ' Saunfring gaily In tho shadows, Of the elm tree and the limoh With merry laugh out-ringing, Oh. joyously! wo d go, Thro tho green and shady woodland, Whcro tho chestnut used to grow 1 'Mid the daisies and tho clover. Tripping childrcn-liko and free, And kissing lip and prculng My littlo one to mo! And swearing by tho angel And cv'rytliing I Irow, That I'd bo trucks hcas.cn, , Where the thcstmit uscl to growl Ah, well do I remember A summer long ago, When we parted from each other, Whcro tho chestnut used to growl And wonder in my fancy If ho' married yet or no, And if sho think of "Jimmy." Who loved her long ago. Oft I think when sumnitr come (For return it will again) 111 visit tho old woodland And weep away my pain? Mayhap I'll meet sweet Nelly, And should I, her I vow. To kiss and never leave her, Where tho chestnut used to grow! JDP THE COLUMBIA. A trip up tho Columbia i o common place that not many of our readers would caro to hear it rsbcarsed. There aro but few Ore goniana who have not at tome time gono Kast of the Mountains, cither a a business venture or on a visit of pleasure. The jourroy is re lieved from monotony by the frequent changes mado from steamboat to cars and from rail to boat again. The boats are large and commo dioustome of them really elegant in their appointment, they are officered by gentle men who do all they possibly canto accom modate passenger. Of course there aro soma alway aome chroulo grumbler who oin ties er be pleased at anything. The table are good and waiter attentivo. Very soon the steam boat must retire, giving way to the locomo tive which will go pulling up and down this great highway of the northwest. We had not realized this, until we taw the grading nmnir inn ruci ait,iiava. i muii tiu n uiuii'il 11 V 11 i. i. i-11..1. -. i.. t .i no. nu.se wy w . andiron. e navo rcau irum simo w nine ox the progress of the work, yet 'until we aaw the hundreds of men at a hundred different points, we did not realize th.it tho work was r jally going on. V. ery few mile w bite tent And shanties could be seen on the iterlilo tandy bank of tho river. Gangs of white men with team doing such part of the work a was necessary with horses, then mules and carta dumping aud filling in. Tho iuovitable Chinamen following up with wheel-barrow and shovel. All day the near or distant sound of blasting is heard and we watch at time to toe the smoke follnw the dull thud of the dyanamite and tee the rock fall into the Columbia, tending the tpray high up in the sJr. The boat cftui lands to put ashore the mat of rice that form the staple food of these Lord of Chiuatiien in every camp may bo seen their favorite pig luxurianing in the warm sand sheltered carefully by boughs of willow 'until! tWrdoom is staled, Wo are told'HSt it is with difficulty that w hito men can bsgot to do the work that mutt be done by white lalw if this be the case, why bowl about the Chinese, without whom none of these great works could be accomplished. THE HAU.M OF THE COLUMBIA, If any great painter would with to depict desolation in its might, lie could find the weal and real in tho scenery between The Dalles City And Celilo. As w e saw it in the glimmer of the evening) it teemed to us to embody the heigth And deptli of dread, barreness And desolation. The bare lava rocks thst tower each side of the gorge; the hot difting sands; the rough and ragged fissures, throsyh blch the Columbia seeths and surge,, gives a weird forsaken look, that haunts the iinsgina tion. A gaunt old squaw atanda upon a rock supported by a stick; her blanket spreading in the wind, sho looks like ao uncaring spint gazing at us with 'her bleared eyes. She doubtless ia cursing the white man. One lialf -naked Indian stand oier a whirb'ng eddy scooping with his net for salmon tho last nd only right now left for him. Out on tho bleak rock a few wretched hovels built of driftwood and trtatsj shelter the last few of a onee mighty race that fished here long ago, Before tho hut lie aomo little children who start up and about as wo go by, running towards us foltowed by dopa who outnumber tho children. Wo aro near cnongh to boo their littlo black eyes and dusky 'faces, and a tho wind blows back tlicir long black hair wo ace laughing children, happy even in, tlicir wretchedness of degradation. ben TOURISTS Hero loavo us aa tho train alow up to allow thorn to get off, returning afoot to Dalles City. Professor Browcr, of Yale, aiu Prof. Sargent, of Harvard, who are hero in iho intcrcst'of tho Census enumeration, but mora particularly interested in tho flora and forest trees of this Coast-1 Colilo ia tho '' place of tho winds," and as wo Iio hero a fow hours wo go tramping up in tho sage brush and sand to tlie top of tho hill. Tho sand so filled our eyes that wo quickly find tho shelter of the steamers cabin, From this point to Wallula thoro i not a trco, only a few willow now and then, oc casionally a lioute is seen belonging to aome cattlo ranch. Wo aco few cattlo aa tho bunch gross grows a milo or o over tho high barren bills that conflno tho Columbia. Hugo balca of wool lio on the banks ready for transpor tation, so wo concludo sheep livo not far away, , THE SISTERS Of CHAMTV Of whom thoro are six, form part of , our pas senger list. Some are going away tip among the Couer 'd'lano Indiana, aomo to Walla Walla and aomo to Colviilo. Whatever may bo the difference of creed, wo must respect their kindness to she suffering. A woman on the boat was suffering with a cancer which had been recently operated on. Tho Mother Superior offered to drew it, which from neglect had become fearfully offbusivo. Tho poor woman woa much rcliovcd and felt grateful to tho good aistcr for such real kind ness, one from which tho best hoartod would unintentionly shrink, Umatilla otico promfscd'to be quite a placo of importance, but will proliably novcr be more than a litilo shipping placo. Aunt Hrrrr. L I I Mrs. I Garfield. Sho ha "tho philosophic mind" what w ords worth sings oft ahe has n self-poise, a strength of unswerving, absolute rectittulo her husband ha not and never will have, though hor tem perament do,e not glvo her the capacity for thotcasons of moral enthusiasm which aro poasiblo to him. Much of tho time that other women givo to distributing visiting-card,, in the frantic effort to make themselves "leader of society," Mrs. Garfield spend in tho al coves of tho Congressional Library, swelling out book to carry homo to study whilo die nurse the children. You may be suro of ono thing tho woman who read and studies whilo she rock her babies will not bo left far behind by her husluuid in tho inarch of actual growth. I havo seen many women como to tho surface of capitolian lifo out of obscurity and go back into obscurity again) have seen hundreds of so-called "leader of aoclcty" shrivel and go out in tho scorching flame of fashion) whilo I have followed with a tender, heart this woman, the wife of a famous man a woman whom nobody called a "leader." She, meanwhile, has not been lifted oft" her teei, a many women are, ny ner nutuanu riling fortune) no "spreading" forth In style of dress or living, on "aire." And in Wash ington, in official life, that mean everything indicative of charactcri Sho ha moved on in the tranquil tenor of her unohtrulo way, in a life of absolute devotion to her duty- nos. cr forgetting tho demands of her position or neglecting her friends, yet making It her first charge to Idea her home, to teach her children, to fit her boy for college, to be tho equal friend, a will a tho honored wife, of her husliand. Gentle, patient, unobtrusive almost to timidity, keenly intelligent, liber- a . . . "lv educated, conscientiously devoted to everything gooJ-thl. i. the woman w ho w ill ,., t, 1(wlnl perpetuate the loving, consecrated lifo that to-day abide in tho White House, if as itl mistress she entera it, The Mother Rules tne World. It is hard for a young mother, who has not yet overcome tho way w ard tendencies of her own youthful nature, to realize the influence she exerts over her own little ones, Sho ia constantly surrounded by critical imitators, who copy her morals and manners. Aa the mother it, ao are her fcona aud daughtera. If a family of children aro blesned with an in telligent mother, who ia delicate and refined in her maimers, aud doe not consider it necessary to be one woman in a drawing room and an entirely diilerent person in every day life, but who is a tnie mother and al ways a tender, charming woman, you will In variably see her liabits of speech snd perfect manner repeated in her children. Great, rough tneu, And noisy lioys will always tone down their voices and step lightly and try to be more mannerly when she stops to give them a kind word or a pleasant smile) for a true mother will never fail to say or do all the pleasant things that she can that will in any way help or lift up and chear those whose lives are shaded with care and toil. The mother of to-day rules the world of to-morrow. Some women make a great fust and labor hard in trying to persuade a ben not to tet. The same amount of work ami ingenuity di rected in Another channel might retolutiouize society in some particular, but ahe never thinka of that. To prevent A fifty-cent hen from setting a w Oman III devote five dollars worth of time and lalwr. A New Jersey wo man is an exception. She placed a red hot glass egg in the nett and the hen toon lost all appetite for setting. The fact that the barn burned down and the ben, perished in the flames may deter tome women from trying the tame experiment, but it can be recom mended as going to the spot.

It was morning of the Fourth day of July. "But which Fourth of July!'1 aki Tom, for Tom 'remembera that thero havo been one hundred and four good daya of that namo ainco tho old bell rang Out it glad tidings from Independence Hall. It was tho very darkest Fourth c cr know n Did it raiu on that Fourlht Yes, but tho pco plo w ero not troubled by tho rain. Thoy w ere troubled in another way. It was iho morning of tho eighty-seventh Fourth of July tho 6110 that camo in thoyear 1S03. As littlo Dan Hargrcavo rubbed hi oyci open that morning ho could eco a streak of gray light in tho 1 Jwt. Dan' body waa w edged In bctw ccn two stones. A bit of moss oil ono of tho atones had been hia pillow and his bed for tho night had been a very hard one, Indeed. "I'm wet to tho skin," aald Dan. "In fact, I really bcllovo my faco ia clean for tho first timo in 'thrco daya." Dan drew a littlo looking-glass from hia pocket and held it licforo hia nose. Ho saw that tho burnt powder and dirt had been washed off by tho rain, Dan got up and walk ed a littlo waya from hia bed. Ho was search ing for somo ono who would pivo him a cracker. Ho soon camo upon a man stretched out at tho roots of a tree. Dan punchnd tho man. "Get tip." said Dan, "it's daylight and tho Fourth of July." Thero was no answer) tho man did not move. Dan put his hand down and felt of tho man's body, which was cold. "Poor fcllowl" aald Dan, "ho'll alecp along, long timo." Dan woa a drummer lxy and ho waa on Culp'a Hill, which.

Thoy had marchtd hard for ecyeral daje and they had fought for three day. Tho battle hod begun on July I, and had been waged throughout tho aecond and tho third, and would it bo kopt up on tho Fourth? Dan didn't know. Ho left tho cold tilctit man and walked down tho bill. By- and-byo ho aaw a soldier t landing upright w ith hi back to A tree. "Hello," said Dan, "it's tho Fourth, isn't it! GotAcraokert" Tho soldier knew Dan ami loved himatuuioh if ho had becu a sou, He told Dan to "feci In there," pointing to a pocket in hia coat. Dan got a handful of crackers. "I'm just going dow n to that spring I aaw yesterday," Dan explained, aa ho moved off. "Vou oughtu t to go," replied tho. soldier. who was on guard, "tho rebs might get you." "Tho spring s in our linos," said tho boy, ''and I want some water for my coflec," And ao tho littlo soldier stepped iinlotly .with soft tread down tho hill. Ho munched da crackers At ho went. They were real cracker biscuit crackers, not firecracker. Tall oak aud uhottuut tree tlood all around. The grass that grew between tho big rocks was wet. Sometimes Dan had to climb o er a fallen tree, for great balls of iron had hitscd through tho tree-tops on tho morning of the day before and thousands of licrco littlo bill lets had hidden themselves undor tho bark of tho trunks of tho tree. The spring of w ator was down in a bitofa valley. Itistherotothit day and tho 'writer of this law it once and drank sweet, cool water from it, using for a cup part of a broken shell. Dan leached tho Miring ami took a drink. Kverythiug was still. Dau dipped hit little tin bucket in and was about to return when he heard a groan. Dan listened, "Oh, mother, mother!" clod n oice from Vie rocks near by. "Oh, rain, rain fall on my tongue!" . "That's boy!" Dan explained, "and I do bclio uho's A rrb," Dan crawled toward tho pile of rock. As ho drew near tho placo whcro tho tuflmr waa ho raited hi head and iiocred our. Ho taw a loy lying flat on hi back, Tho boy was ragged ami by hia tido was a drum, "Ho's a rcb." said Dan tohlmtilf, "but he's w o) tided and it's the Fourth and I'll help him." Then Dan walked boldly up to tho wounded uoy "Is that inothei!" asked the wounded boy, You can't ace, can) ou!" said Dati) "your eyes ore full of dirt and blood. Take a drink) there, that's right. Where are you hurt!" "It's a bullet iu my knee," said the boy; "my neck' hurt, too. Aro jo a Yank!" "Yet, I'm a Yank, but 111 tend to you. You've liecn here a good while!"

You don't want to die here, I know," Dau gotdown on all-fours and Thump crawl ed ou Dan's lock. Thump groaned, for hit leg pained him whenever ho mou-d. Dau asked Thump if ho could hold on and Thuu.p said lio'd try, Dau mot ed slowly up the lull w ith Thump's arms around hi neek. Kvtry now and then the Yankee boy would stop to rest. The toldivr w ho had advised Dan not to go to tho spring stopped him. "It's my Fourth of July prisoner," raid Dan.

On tho otlitho wholo country knew that Gcneial Grant had taken Vlcksbiirg, too, Indeed, tho Fourth, that looked so gloomy when Dan crawled out of his hard bedtat daylight, shou'd really have been a day of great rejoicing. From that day the tide of war began to roll back and peaco could lo acen under tho clouds. A Wife' Mtiatngor, Joseph Stewart, of Cohocs, is convivial by nature and occasionally so in practice.
