ments as any town within the state. They
will no doubt place a plant upon the site of

an ornament and a pride to our enterprising
and thriving little city of the Umpqua.

The Debating Society of this place is grow
ing more and more interesting at each meet
ing. The usual programme of the evening
consists of singing, recitations, declamations,
select reading followed by the debating of a
live and popular question in which all the
members both ladies and gentlemen took an
active part. One thing we have noticed, and
too much cannot be given it, and that is, the
excellent order maintained throughout each
evenings entertainment. In this it will com
pare favorably with any entertainment we
have ever attended and is much better than
most of them.
The game butchers of this place were jubi
lant over the prospect of the game law bein
repealed by the legislature just adjourned, but
when it failed and the castles they had been
building in Spain, wherein they had
slaughtered poor old snowed in does until
even their thirst for blood was almost satisfied
tumbled about their feet, they wot not what to
do. Pray gentlemen (?) wherein lies your
grief? What part of the game law ever tyran
nized over you? If you ever observed one let
ter of it but to violate it you have kept it as
secret more to blush at than be proud of.
What difference does it make to you whether
we have one kind of a game law or another,
or any at all, when you continually
ignore it and hold it scarcly worthy your con
tempt? But the most astonishing part of it is
that so called resectable citizens violate it on
every possible occasion. That such people
give it their sanction is to be regretted, for in
this way it takes on a flavor of decency instead
of being consigned at once to the slums among
thieves and vagabonds where it justly belongs,
There will be a clay of reckoning for these fel
lows and they will find the way of transgress
ors is as hard as it ever was of old, but this is
small consolation to the honest sportsman who
sees the game so wontonly destroyed .

LITTLE JOSEPH.
Br Ehsib.
Little Joseph dwells in fairy land; not in
deed in that charmed circle in the dark green
wood where star crowned fairies dance in
the pale moon light, and flowers speak after
the manner of men, but in a beautiful world
made bright by childish fancies and the glad
ness of life which only the loving and tender
hearted know. Perhaps the fairy tales he
had heard may have given a rainbow color
ing to the rich fancies which thronged his
mind; but fancy was never too bright for fact,
nor fact to dull for romantic influence on the
daily events of his simple life. Little Joseph
was scarcely six years old when the Browncs
built their "wigwam" near his home. To
J
oseph's believing: heart these people were
veritable "brownies" and he was delighted.!
The enchanted palace built in a single night
under the influence of Aladdin's lamp was
not more interesting to his mind than was
The Wigwam" as it gradually took shape
under the influence of the carpenter's ham-
mer and saw; nor were the fortunate Aladdin
and Princess Badroulboudour more enviably
domiciled than were his new neighbors.
oseph's home was in the sunset land on the
beautiful Willamette river. In summer, while
sailed pleasure boats, fair to see, glided gaily
over the water: while the music of voices or
of instruments touched by the light fingers of
happy youth, was borne to the child's ears
with" tales of happiness and love. Sweet
odors came from the firs and balm trees upon
the river bank; and broad spreading oaks and
graceful cottonwoods gave a grateful shade to
groups of spotless cattle. Beyond the river
farmland and upland stretched away to the
fir forest with their dark robes of green
changing into tenderest hues of purple and
blue, as they approached the mountains Hood
and St. Helens, those grand snow-crowned
peaks emblematic of all that is noblest and
purest in human life. But Joseph did not re
flect in this way upon the mountains, did not
think of the purity they typify; only when
they were burnished by the glories of the set
ting sun they seemed to him like fairy halls
lighted for revelry within, the splendors of
which were but faintly suggested by the gold
en and roseate hues which shone through
upon their snowy sides. Perhaps Joseph
had never heard that "help conicth from the
mountains" for it is not given to the child
nind to know all the sources whence good
and beautiful thoughts flow to it, but doubt
less these were his teachers in many quaint
and kind philosophies which fell with uncon
scious grace from ; his young lips. Joseph
loved the feeble folk who live nearest the
earth and under the water, and made them
his pets. He knew the haunts of the craw
fish and water newts and spent happy hours
exploring their secret retreats, lifting the
stones under which they were hidden and
watching their queer ways with the greatest
interest. One "nice green crawfish" he had
tethered upon the bank and called it his "cow"
although wherein he found a resemblance to
the bovine it was hard to see. Every form
of life was sacred in Joseph's eyes, and co dis
ciple taught of the benign Brahm, ever appre
ciated better than did this child the right to
live in every ; living thing. Perhaps the
birds knew this, for they were quite fearless
of the quiet little figure with its crooning
song that moved so softly over the grass or
swung in the tree tops like one of their own
kind. One day it was Joseph's fortune to
find a deserted bird's uest in which was a tiny
egg with its promise oi life unfulfilled. Ful
of pity he carried it home and put it at the
feet of the big . white stuffed owl whose great
glass eyes , seemed to glare protection over
the forlorn thing. . A few days passed and
another ramble brought to his feet a little
brown bird just trying its wings; it accepted
the child's offered finger and was carried to
the nest at home and the society of the owl.
A tower of green maple boughs was built at
the window and the nest secured therein, and
the young fledgling flitted and chirped and
ate its crumbs as happily as though its bower
were under the blue sky. All went well un
til the baby girl who shared her brother's
love for the birdhng gave it an ill-judged hug
and it lay dead.. There was grief in the
house "for surely nothing dies but something
mourns;" but brother love was too strong for
censure, so he comforted the baby and then
tearfully laid the bird in its grave.
One morning on his way tc school a tiny
snake ran across his path and was by some
means induced to enter the bottle which
Joseph held invitingly in its way. When he
bad thus captured the reptile, compassion for
it troubled his heart and his natural shyness
and timidity which made him shrink from stran
gers, was set aside and he went to a strange
house and asked for a little water in the
bottle saying with soft, slow seriousness that he
"did not want the poor little thing to fret it
self into a fever. When he arrived at the
school grounds the infectious pleasure of the
lad in his new pet spread among his cornpan
10ns, and various bids 01 such wealth as
school boys carry in their pockets, were offered
for the snake. At length a little girl who
had a Bible offered it in exchange . and the
bargain was made. Joseph was delighted
withhis new possession and visions of beauti
ful stories danced before him. Such stories
from the Bible as his mother had told him,
and such as had formed the basb of the
charming talks in the primary class of the Sun
day school, were (as he supposed) examples
of all that was enfolded between the covers of
that sacred Book. An elder, brother whose
scholarly attainments were somewhat higher
than Joseph's, undertook the task of reading
for him. Beginning at Genesis the reading
went on through, the story f the creation, the
garden of Eden, the subtle serpent and its
unhappy work and the dreadful sin of Cain,
to the book of the generations of Adam, and
here as poetry and romance began to be lost
in hard names the childs faith began to strug
gle with weariness. At length an unmistak
able look of fatigue and disappointment came
over Joseph's face, and with a sigh he con
fessed that he "didn't know the Bible was like
that."
When he has grown older and has learned
that the inmost of life has more need of , the
Spirit's teaching than of fairy romance, he
will look again for instruction in the old Bible
which now he cannot understand . Until then
we will leave him with his pets of the wild-
wood, the garden and the river side.
