On a cheerful and cloudless day; And roam o'er the strands, With their jewelled sands, And to watch the wild waves at play. The water it raves In the sounding caves, 11 the gloomy and dark defiles Rushing and dashing, Seething and splashing, Through the echoing, somber aisles. Or, tippling in ripples, Smi!es and dimples, They steal up so softly and slow, To startle some pet, Whom they often met, - On other fair shores long ago! Sitting on a rock,.. Beyond the shock Of the incoming, angry wave, We think of this life Its sorrows and slnfc, And the life that's beyond the grave. There, with shining band, In Summer land, 11 that land of ancient story, We hope we will be, Through eternity, n happiness, peace and glory. Then! cheer up, sad one! Come! Take courage, men! The Heavens are brilliant with light! And the glad'ning ray Of the coming day i'eeps through: you've passed the night! George Bexsett. TIIF VnoMVLGATIOS OF THE COX- STtTVTlOXOF IttE VSITED STATES. Letter of Col. A. Loudon Snowdcn, addressed to the Governors of the sev eial States, requesting co-operation in the Centennial Celebiation of the framing and Promulgation of the Con stitution of the United States, which will take place at Philadelphia, on he 15'b, 16th, and 17th of September next. Philadelphia, July 9, 1887. Deae Sib: From the enclosed cor respondence you will observe that I iave been appointed by the Constitu tional Centennial Commission, Chair man of the Committee and Marshal in charge of the civic and industrial demonstration by which it is intended in part to celebrate the Formation and Promulgation of the Constitution "of the United States. I need not remind you that it is of the highest importance that this cele- ration shouli not alone illustrate our moral, intellectual and material prog ress within the past hundred years, but that it should be made so imposing as to leave an indelible impression on the minds of our people, particularly upon the youth of the land as to the para mount importance of upholding and guarding ihe Constitution as the sheet anchor of our liberties and the bul- wai k of our prosperity and happiness of our people. In July 1788 there was a celebration ia this city, intended not only to manifest the gratification ef the people on the adoption of the Constitution by ten of the States, but also to stimulate its ratification by all the states composing the old Confeder ation. On that occasion the proces sional display, which received the countenance and tho hearty support of the leading men. of tha period, repre senting all branches of business, indus tries of all kinds as well as tho judici ary, the professions, and the schools of learning, headed by the venerable University of Pennsylvania, etc., was the most comprehensive and mtgges' tive ever attempted up to that period on this side of the Atlantic. It devolves upon us in the coming celebration to illustrate, as far as pos sible, in th? prose isional display, the marvelous material and industrial ad vance which has been made under the benign influence of the Constition. It is a celebration in which all should participate. To assure succes will require generous and cordial co operation, and upon this I confidently rely. Without presuming to inlicate a a plan for your guidance I may say that it has been suggested that your Excellency appoint a committee to which shall be assigned the duty of directing the attention of your citizens to the subject, and the organizing your industries for paiticipation in the demonstration, which it is proposed to make, if possible, the most imposing of the kind ever witnessed on this conti nent With such a committee or any Other agency you may suggest, I shall be glad to co operate. Hoping to hear fiom you on this subject, and confidently relying upon your valuable assistance, I have the honor to remain, Your obedient servant, A. Lol'dox Snowden. To hU Excellency, Gov. S. Pexnover, Salem, Oregon. Those hours are not lost that are spent cementing affection, for a friend is above gold, precious as the stores of the mind. -M. F.

HAMILTON. , Over the newly-fallen snow walked Master Reynard tho fox in the early light of a New Year's morning. . He had been visiting some of ; the farm yards he "had his reasons for calling before the people were ur in the hope of securing a fowl for his New Year's dinner. Rut poultry was very high just then quite beyond his lim ited resources, in fact and, though he had no doubt that it would be lower in the day, he could not afford to wait. So it was a hungry pair of eyes that sud denly espied a tieasure near the root of an old tree a plump rabbit nicely frozen and apparently all ready to be carried home for a diuner. "How lucky!" exclaimed Reynard. "Net to a tender chicken, a bit. of rabbit is the very thing I should have chosen. Some hunter must have dropped him without knowing it. I never knew anything so fortunate as Stop a bit" Reynard stepped back and sharply eyed the tempting treasure-trove. "My mind missives Die that this is a little too fortunate. Thi3 isn't the sort of world, so far as my experience gecs, where things worth having are lying around free-and-easy like to be picked up without wot king for them: I have never found it so. It looks all right, but I am suspicious of free lunches; they generally hide a trap;" and, with a parting Bniff and a longing backward look, the fox walked hungrilv on. A little later that same New Year'a jrning, Martin Geary walked into the town. He had a little money to spend for his family, and he was resolved to do it widely and well with out wasting a penny of it. But as ho was passing a saloon he paused on see ing it invitingly open, decorated with evergreens and its windows placarded with "New Year's Compliments" and cordial invitations to "Step in for a Free Lunch." "A free spread! Well, there's no harm in that, and I'll have that much good, seeing that it won't cost me any thin"," said Martin. So he entered, and the free eating was followed by drinking that was not free until he no lonaer cared for the cost of anything and was hilar- Ml 1 . ances while his money lasted. It was scant fare that reached the Geary fanr ily that day, and even that little was made more miserable by the condition of the man that brought it. It was only the fox who had sense enough to keep out of a tra p. m Jl'OGEItXAVT XEQLECIEU. At the last anniversavy of tho Cal cutta Bible'Society, Sir Rivera Thomp son, from facts that came under his notice duiing his recent visit to Orissa, gave illustrations of tho great change in popular sentiment which has been passing over India during the lifetime of the present generation. Pooree, the sect ot the famous shrine of the original J uggemaut, is one of the most sacred shrines in all India. Vast multitudes of pilgrims still make pain ful journeys to the place, but the tem- I 1 -- ""J wi .W1. money, as in former days. ; A wealthy rajah (king) not long sinre visited the temple, and after performing the ' cus tomary rites sent to tho head Brahmin to know how much he should pay for the privileges enjoyed. The answer was a prompt demand for twenty-five thousand rupeea (twelve thousand five hundred dollars.) whereupon the rajah coolly walked off without giving any thing. Another illustration of the decline of reverence for the shrine was given by His Honor. At the annual airing given to the idoli tho ponderous car was dragged out seveial miles with the utmost difficulty, but enough will ing hands could not be found to drag ' it back again. The priests were f iir a time in the utmost consternation. If the car was not taken back within seven days, it would be illegal, accord ing to the Traditions, to move it again for five years. In this emergency they had recourse to the collector (chief British civil officer of a district,) who weakly yielded to their importunity and gave them assistance in getting the gret idol back to his temple. Fojr this unwarranted meddling he ro- ceived a gentle wigging. ; liut the in cident shows how rapidly old-time Hinduism is losing its hold on the peo ple. Not many years aa;o the people were so eager in their efforts to lend a hand in dragsjing the car that they threw one another down, and often those thus prostrated were crushed be neath the wheel i, Old things are pas sing away in India, and a letter day has dawned on the land.
