O, we love to stroll,
Where the billows roll.
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!

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.

OXLVA. TUAP,
BY KJtTRW. 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.

At the last anniversavy of tho Cal

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

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

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

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-

Hinduism is losing its hold on the peo

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
