"THE CABIN IN THE CLEARING ' Tis "the Cabin in thf Clearing," By the little patch nf c rn With its silk- n tusels, aung In the breezes of the morn.

But the Cabin's gone, forever ; Aye I its tale has long litcn told, And its dustdoAii the liver Mingha with the island' mold, WHATItOVE. I love the playful little lamb I love him liroilcil or roast j I love the feathered sonuster too I think him best on toast. I love the fish that swim the sca rred from the frying pan ; I luve the retired oyster, too III iathim when I can.

Awn1" And out on tho ullago gtivn, with tho lOlomn siimiowkoi uui neiiuMis leugiuon ing over it, a strong man awaited tho eur fev to t(ll for b h death. Ho kUxxI, band homo and lmo, and lull taller by an inch than tho talent iko-nun who guarded him. What had ho dono that bu should die? Little it mattered in thoso dajs, wbon tho avvord that the groat Cromwell wielded was ho prone to fall, what ho or others hul done. Ho had boon hcnlv to tho lato Lonl uji to tho castle, ami Ijidy Maud, forgetting that man must woo and woman nurt wait, had given her heart to him AJthotit asking, while Uio gentlo Ijlydo Vere, illstwit kins-wonwn and poor win panlon to her, hud, without sooking, found the treaures of his tmo love, and held them fai-t. Then bo hntl joined the army mil made one of those pious soldiers wlue psis-ions were neer rtirrwl but by sign or symbol of x)perj-. Hut a i-coniwl woman's hatred bad reached him even there. Knemies and deep plots had com passed him about and complied him. To night he must die. , The beautiful world laid asa ih1 pic ture before him. The dark green wood alwe the rocky hill where Itobin Hood and bis merrv men had dwelt , the frown ing ci-tlc with its di.iw bridge and vquaie towers; the long stretch of moor with the purple shadows ujioii it; the giten, straight walks of tho illage, tho buds overhead, even the daisies at Ins feet be saw. Hut ah! bow more vividly than all, he s.iw the gieat red sun with its h.uy veil linginng above the twos, as though it pitied him with mow than human pity He was a Godfearing and Ciod serving man He had long m.idc his peace with lie.iven. Nothing stood botvuon him and df.ith nothing io-e )leiidiiig between him and tliOM- who weie to dfstioy bun, but the sweet f.-uo of Lily do Vere, whom be lovdl. She had wcaiiid heaven with Iki lniueis. but nil without avail. Slowly now tho gieat sun went down. Slowlv tho last ltd lim was hid behind the gieenwood. Thirty seconds more and bis soul would be with bis God. The (olor did not foinko bis cheeks. Thednik rings of hair lay uxm a waim brow. It was his pui pose to die as mai tyrs and bravo men die. What was life that he should cling to it? He almost ftlt the air pulsate with the lirst heavy roll of the death-knoll. Hut no sound came. Still facing the soldiers with bis clear ej-es upon them, ho waited. The crimson banneis in the west wero paling to pink, and had been gatered into tho brick-yards. All natuie bad sounded her curfew, but old Jnper was silent. Thobell-ringenvvith bis gray head jt bared, had traversed half the distance that lay between his cot tage and the ivy-toveied tower, when a form went flitting past him, with pale, shadowy robes fitting mound it, and hair that the low western lights touched and tinted as with a halo. "Ah, Htildab, Huldah!" the old man muttered: "How swift she fliesl I will come soon, dear, My work is almost done." Huldah was tho good wifo who bad gone fiom him in her eaily woman hood, and for whom he had mourned all his long lifo. Hut the fleeting form was not Huldah's, it was Lilly dc Vere, hur ried by a sudden and desperate purpose toward the cathedral. So help mo God, curfew shall not ring to-night! Cromwell and his dragoons come this waj Onto moie I will kneel at bis feet and plead. She entered the ruined arch. She wrenched from its fastenings the carved and wood-oaten door that barred the way to tho tower. Sho ascended with Hying and frenzied feet tho steps; her heart lifted up to God for Kich.ud's deliverance fiom ponl. The bats Hew out and shook the dust of centuries from the black carv ings. As she went up she caught glimpses of the in tenor of the groat build imr.with its eioined roof, ita chorions mid clusteied columns, its pictiued saints and caned image of tho Virgin, which tho pil lagers of ages had spared to bo dealt with br time, tho most relentless vandal of all. ' ITji utill np beyond tho rainbow tints thrown by the stained glass across her death-white brow; up still ui mist niKMi mcado and arch, with giillin and gargoyls staring at her from under liiacU'ts mid coiiuce, with all mo nid- eousness and inodlioval carvings, me stairs flight by lligbt growing fuiiler be neath hoi young feet, now hut a slender netwoik Mvvivn her and the outer woild but still up llei bieatb wasiomingshoit and gasp ing. Sho saw through an oien space old Jaspoi ei oss the road at tho foot of tho tower. Oh, bow far! Tno seconds vvoio treasmes which Cromwell, with all his blood bought commonwealth, could not puicbaso from her Up ah there, just above her, with its giv.it braen mouth and wicked tongue, the Ml hung. A woiin-eaten block for a step and ono small white band bad clasped itself above the clapper tho other picp.ued, at tho tiomble, to rise and clasp )( mate, and tho feel to swing oil and thus sho waited. Jasper was old and slow, but he was sine, and it e.uno at last. A faint quiver and tho joung foot s ung from their nM, and tho tender bands oIiisihhI foi moio than their piccious lifo tho wiitlung thing There was a groaning and cioaking of tho Hide pulleys above, and then tho strokes caino heavy and strong. Jiispci's baml had not foigot its ciunuig, not bis mm its strength Tho tender, soft foi m was swung and dashed to anil fin ; but sho clung to and caressed tho cold, ciucl thing Let ono stroke como and a thousand might follow, for its fatal wink would lie done. Sho wreathed her white aims nUivo it so that at every pull of the great roios it crushed into tho tlcsb. It tore her and wounded and hiui-cd, but there in tho solemn twi light tho bravo woman swung and fought with thocutfow, and God gavoher v ictory Tho old Ml nngor said to himself "Ajo, Huld.ih, iny-wwk is dona Tho puilojs am getting too heavy for my old mm. Mj Pars, loo, have failed mo. I dinn.v hear ono stroke of the curfew Dear old Ml, it is my ears that have gono false, and not joh. earowell, old 1 1 lend" And just beyond tho worn pavement a shadowy fotin again wont IliUing p.it him. There wore drops of blood uKn tho white garment, and the face was hko tho face of ono who walked in her sleep, and tho hands hung wounded and powerless at her side. Cromwell uucd with his horsemen tinder tho dismantled Mnjpolo More tho i ullage green. Homw tho man wlio was to dtoal sunset standing up in tho dinky air. Ho giuinl with kiiitttd brow and , angry eyes, but his lijwdid not give utter ance, to'lho quick command that trom . bled on them, for a girl eamo tlj uig to WILLAMETTE VAEMEB: PORTLAND, OREGON, MAY ward him. Pikcmen and archer stepped aside to let her pass. She threw herself upon the turf at his horse's feet; 'he hfU'd her tortured and bleeding bands to his gate, and once more ioured out her praj-er for the life of her lover; with trembling lips she told him why Richard still lived why the curfew bell bad not sounded. Lady Maud looking out of her latticed, window at the castle saw the great Pro tector dismount, lifting the fainting form in his arms and licar her to her lover She saw the guards rclca-c the prisoner, and she he.ud the shouts of joy at his de liverance; then she welcomed the night and shut the scene out from her envious ej-es, and sepulturcd her in its gloom. At the next matin bell old Jasper diul, and at curfew toll ho was laid btsido the wife who bad died in his j'outh, but the memory of whom had been with him alwavs. Poor Miss Margaret. I knew something of her stoij-, but I long to bear it all tho story of thatlovelr old face, with its sweet dark ev-es and snowy hair. She was laid away for her long irvt with the heavy caith upon her heart. The last sad word had died away ovei her lovely grave, and we slowly and sadily rt tractd our steps to the places which should know or dear old friend no more forever. On tho evening following the f uncial, as we sat together around the glowing vv inter's fire, I asked the dear grandmothei to tell us tho story of Miss Margaict's life. She took ofT her spectacles, nnd polished them slowly with her handkerchief, look ing meanwhile thoughtfully "and very sadly into the fue. Then, turning round to us, she said: "You all loved Miss Margaret, but j-ou could not appreciate her loveliness as ono who knew her in her youth, and through all the j-ears of her lieautiful, pathetic life. We weie near of tho same ago, she a few vvctks j'oungcr than I. From our babyhood we hare been constantly together. I cannot remember tho time Maigarct was not my other self. Our homes stood always whero thoy do to-daj-. Our mothers were dear friends, and the friendship ended to day in the grave began with our first pi.it- tle and tottering lootstops, "When wo were six years of ago we commenced our childish school-life to gether. Years went on till we were grown up ready for the ladies' college in the ad joining town of Aldcnburj'. " How wonderfully pretty Margaret was glowing! She was always very slender, and pceiiliiuly graceful. You know how handsonio she was, even in her old age. She had lieautiful dmk brow n, wavy hair ; her gray cjts were very lorelj-; her small, pale face," with its delicate noo, fresh, dewy lips and firm little chin, was delight ful to Uwk upon. Sweet-tempered, mod est, dignified, sho was the idol of her parents and admiicd by all who knew her. "fn our seventeenth year we left the college. Margaret was to return at the autumn term ns teacher. How vc cn jojed that bright summer! All beautiful things are soon over; tho autumn c.ime, and with it our fist separation. She went to Aldenbury on Monday morning, and Kriday evening always saw her return to us again. " It was nliout this time that I fust no ticed a chago in my Maigarct. I could not define it. In her sweet eyes thero shone a solemn, holy light. A tremulous K)it of beauty seemed to lest on blow and lip. She glow moio beautiful each day. Her sweet reserve was never bioken, even to me. "It was n lieautiful day in tho latter part of tho winter when Margaret came to mo with n now look upon hoi pure face a look which a woman never weal's hut once in life, when she loves, as Margaret did. "' Kate, I have something to tell j-ou said sho; and when she was etwily seated with me in my own room, she told me tho stoiy of hoi Mrotlud. "Mr IMmonds was principal of the college at Aldenbuij'. Ho had taken eli.ugo of tho institution when Maigarct went tbeio in tho autumn. Ho wo.- the mm of a widow, who was poor, and who lived in a distant town, whero her son was a student. Mr. Kdmonds was her solo suppoit. His brother was m college !at bis oMMMise, and, with this double re sponsibility, ho had hesitated about sjio.ik I nit; of bis love to Margin t. He finally do- I culed to tell her of it, and explain to her jlns situation. He said that ho had not I tho presumption, even if she could return ' his love, toask her to wait for bun through tho j ears that must no.ess.inly intervene More bo could have a wife ami homo of his own " 1 told him,' said Margaret, 'that 1 would wait for bun forever for 1 lovo him ' "Tho spring came, and with the first Ming of tho buds and tho perfume of the (lowers, 1 was married. It needed but tho fruition of mv Manmret's lovo toconilileto ' m j- happmot. Shu came and went from I her sctKil in the sweet spring-time, full of deep, quiet happiness. When the summer came sho went home with Mr Kdmonds ' to visit his mother, who had written con- staidly to her since the engagement. She ! returned to us in season for the re-opening of tho college, whero was still to remain n I teacher. Sho and Mr Kdmonds taught and studied together. Ho was a lino I scholar, und she was fast follow ing in his footsteps. I " I never saw a man so devoted to any I woman as Mr. Edmonds was to her. Ho , Mvmcd to look ujKn her as a treasure too ' precious and beautiful for him. I "Margaret's vcaru of w aiting w ere finally ' nt an end, and in a few weeks sho would enter upon her new life.

" It was a lovely day in October, a week Wnm tlm wmlilinnwIn.v.thntMr. Edmonds came to Margaret's parlor looking fear- full)' ill. no stouilj' lnsisica mm ii, "- nothing but a slight cold, and laughingly refused ' to bo doctored,' as he expressed it. The next moining he was unable to rise, ni.il tli ilnrtor nmnoiincod his malady dipthcria of the most malignant type. As the long day woic away nc conuimuu in ,rmw worse, nnd nt ninhtf.ill was de limits and suffering terribly. Margaiot followed the phjici.ins into the hall, and told them if there was any danger sue wished to send for his mother and brother. Kind old Dr. Seaton, who had known Margaret fiom her biith, laid his hand gently upon her shoulker, and only Faid, 'send at once, my child.' "For two (lav s he suffeied terribly. Margaiet never ieft him. Pale, teal less, jinmi nml tniiilnr. she vi ns bv his sidedav and night. His mother, too, was with him on tho third day, wncn me eno came, "The sunset light stole into the room as he opened hisej'es upon Margaret, and smiled. A sunbeam fell aslant upon the pillow, and lit up the dj'ing face with an gelic beauty. Margaret knelt down and laid her head beside his, and when a few moments after, we laised he, bo was dead. The lieautiful voting life had ended. " Margaret stood look down upon the dead face of her love without a tear, with out a sound. She bent down and kissed him, then turned and left the loom, waving aside any assistance, and no one saw her again that day. When night came, a pale-faced, hollow-cjed woman issued from the room, and spent the long dark hours alone with her dead. " This was the end of her bcautifl dream, my sweet Margaiet! The next morning she came to breakfast, looking as if j'eais had passed over her head. Her eyes had great, dark shadows beneath them, her lips w ere drawn w ith suffering. But from this first moining of sorrowful life no one over beard a moan over her bereavement. To her loving father and mother she was the spirit of devotion. To Mis. Edmonds she was the dutiful, loving daughter, and together they took their dead to his child hood's homo and laid him beside his father. " I never, in all the jcars that followed, heard her gay, bright laugh again. Pa tient, sweet, strong of soul, unselfish, her life henccfoith was spent for others. And thus the seasons, came and went, and found her ever at her post of duty, among tho sorrowful, the sick and afflicted. A more beautiful lifo I never knew. And now the long waiting is over, and she has joined the love of her j-outh." Baker County. A correspondent of the Pend'eton T'tbune sends that paper the following complimentary notice of one ot Oregon's most valuable coun ties : This is a prosperous and growing city, many of its buildings being constructed of brick, and a few of hewn granite, giving the main street of the city a substantial appear ance, and conveying to the beholder the idea that the fold men of Baker expect to stay with the racket. The larger portion, in fact nearly the entire town, is located on the west hank of the river, and sell tors out over a a leu 1 plain. The streets intersect each other at right angles. The grounds nf many private rtsidences are ornamented with shade trees, adding very materially In the beauty of thf place. Like Umatilla, Baker stai.ds sadly in neid nt new county buildings The court house and jail were built in a hurry, but the cnunty court is not in as great a hurry to keep pace with the building spirit of private citizens to contruct a court house that should he a credit to thii county. The people of Baker city expect a suUtiintial advance in rod otatj ks the end of the track approaches the town. Ample land has b en set apart in the sul urns for the depot buildiugs and side tracks.
