Thi apace is given for the nse nnd benefit of our local writers of verse, and we hope to make it a pleasinc fetturo of the paper. To that end contributions nro solicited, but they must poetH undoubted literary merit to outrun ptaco nnu recogm tion here. Ki. Written for the Boout.I NEW YEAU'S ClIUIKS. Once more across the leafless land Wc hear the peal of New Year's chimes; The young and old stand hand In hand, And dream the past in present timoi. There is a story in the belli That conies in whispers through the air; Of love to some their imi'ic tells, They fcigh to others of despair. A year spo! yon can't forget The darkness of lat New Yenr'3 night, A little robin, cold and wet. Flew d ized and hungry to tho light. Our holly wreathes unwlthercd Ftill, The glad New Year had scarce! v come, We heard a shout across the hill, Our long-lost brother had come home. "Good will and peace!'' in lrnfy scroll We JihW above the chance 1 dim"; We lit aril the mighty organ roll Kb nitric for the Obrhtm.ts hymn. The sermon was of love and all Uprose, just blent a Chiitian fold; Still many kisses nivcr fall, For death has made their lips go cold. King on, ye Now Year's bel's of peace; Biug on of love that never dies: The love that Lists through lifo must ccaso, ine nie oi cleanness sympathies; King out ths only true belief Across the meadows and the plain, The woods once moro will smile in leaf, The summer lloweis will came again. This is the music of the chimes That crushes hate and kills despair; The gospel of the good old times, Fining with love t lie vtry air; Though hope lie buried, it will r'sa, Thoudi sorrow triumphs, 'twill depart; Love will re'ight grief-wasted eves And fill with iov the empty heart.

They differ in different individuals -to some extent. A Billions man h seldom a breakfast cater. Too frequently, alas, he hat an excellent ap petite for liquids hut none for solids of a morning. His tongue will hardly bear in spection nt any time; if it id not white and furred, it is rough, at uU events. The digestive system is wholly out of or dcr and Diarrhea or Constipation may be a symptom or the two may alternate. There ore often Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood. There may be glddluejs und tften hcaducbe and acidity or flatulence and tenderness In the pit of thu stomach. To correct all this if not eflecto curetry Orttn't Avguit Flower, it costs but a trifle and thousands atteat Its cJBoacy. ffaWicribo for Tkb 0Eotf Betrcrr. NORTH POWDER.

IM PORTANT IN V KNTION. A young gentleman of this writes to us nu follows: city "Wo are willing to wager our full interest in Paradiso that this town possesses more real, genuine creative genius than any other town of equal size, this side of the liockics. Recent ly one of our iniluentivl citizens con ceived the profound idea of inventing an instrument for tho special use of bachelors in frigid weather. Wo were furnished with a plan of construction by the gentleman, and we now submit it to tho run Airs of The Scour: Build a fire in a heating stove im mediately before going to church, if on Sunday night, procure u hledge-ham-mer of about eight pound capacity, minus the handle, then, although it is for bachelors, a piece of old calico drees must be obtained or tho required re sult will not follow ; place tho Wedge, incased in the fragment of feminine garb, under Ihefetovo and let it remain there until after church, but be careful and keep full contiol of your mental powers, and to do this let the young men accompany all the stray girls home, who maybe at chinch; upon arriving at your home, crawl into your "bunk" with the sledge-hammer and the full reward for your trouble will be the result. If Hub is not genius, wo arc doomed to wear out eternity in purgatory. Each one of tho instru ments will bo plainly labeled in stamped letters, "For bachelors only," so no mistake will bo made." ItRACG ur. You are feeling depressed, your appetite is poor, you are bothered with Headache, you are figctty, nervouu, and generally out of sorts, and want to iiuaci: up. Braco up, but not with stimuleiitx, spring medicines, or bitten, which have for their basis very cheap, bad whiskey, and which stlintiluto you for an hour, and thou leavo you in worse condition than before. What you want Is an alternative that will purify your blood, start healthy action of Liver and Kidneys, restore your vitality, and give re uewed health and strength. Such a medi cine you will find In Kloctiic Bittern, and only 0oeut a bottle ut Wright's drug storo, Union, Oregon. NO MISTAKE. A cowboy appeared nt u railway sta tion in Nevada mid stated that ho de sired to thip to tho parents east tho body of a comrade who had been killed by a grizzly bear. In shipping tho box the agent noticed that it was quite heavy and not of the usual oblong shape. In a few days came a telegram : "Some mistake, Bill's body not arrived." The cowboy who was still at tho sta tion on a protracted "blowin," wired buck: "No mutako. Bill is incido tlie bear." Ex. R. R.

No wind in town, but the gentlo zephyrs aro fast filling up tho lanes west of us. J. M. I'hy expects to start in a few days with a car load of horses, for Cal ifornia, via the O. it C. railroad. Ho will probably try tho market at Los Angeles. The Episcopal fcIiooI'b entertain ment will probably bo given in about two weeks. The best talent is under careful (raining and a raro treat ia promised. Mrs. Magann and children and Tnomas Babinglon came down from Cornucopia, Mondav. The former intend remaining during the winter, but Mr. B. returned to the mines, Wed ncsday. M. W. Mitchell sold, (his week, twenty-six head of hogs to Holmes it McDamel who will bacon the lot The aggregate gross weight was about 7,500 pounds and price paid four cents per pound on foot. Jas. Payne has finished packing ico at the cheese factory, Jas. Bloom is putting up a supply, and several others aro talking of putting ug a supply of thu frozen coolness. Wo predict the crop of ice cream next summer will bo s;ood. Prof. A. J. Hackett, who formerly was principal of the Cove public school, left Ilailoy, Idaho, for a sight-Boeing trip through the eastern slates, last 1 hursday. He expects to tako in Now York city and the principal way sta tions. Last Sunday was an extremely cold day for Cove or anywhero elfco. Tho thermometer descended to 30 below zero in the morning aud was not much above zeio during tho day. No such frigidity has occured for many years. January 18th and 19th, 1883, is the nearest approach, when tho mercury registered 20 below. Soveral pcreona who wero compelled to be out during thu past cold snap, came in with frozen lingers, cars or toes. Wo noticed one man whoso ears were to abundant in sizo that they could bo tied in a knot over his head, and said he had not much trouble in imagining himself in Iowa again. One hundred dollars reward for any two men in Covj whoso thermometers agreed on the same night. That cm tard pie was a luscious looking piece of pastry. A. Look not npon tho pie while it is foft and creamy, for in the end it stiugeth like a serpent und hiteth like red popper. Mrs. H. Yum, yum, but that pie is well seasoned. C n. He that runs away will livo to light unother day. J. H. That "fine- elk" which 0, Simmons killed in lust week's Scout was surely run down and knocked in tho head, for G. never could hit one with a rifle. Alox. It is a fact that our thermometer in Low er Covo actually congealed. J. B. T.

All tho com plaint wo hear of is cold, aud that ia very common horo now. Miss Emily Ashhy has been slightly under tho weather for a few daya past, but at present is convalescent. All will be right when tho cold weathor drifts over, and tho moon comes out at night. Tho road is very well brokon from Union out toward our Wurg, but our very lively people aro too cunning to venture far away from homo now its leap year. Tho young men are afraid they will bo proposed to if a half chance is presented. It must bo very disagreoablu for t man to be imposed upon by dame Nature in tho way "Luna TickV maa was a few days ago, still accidents will happen, nnd perhaps it i best, for there aro always nome drawbacks t everything, and we are inclined to believe that if a man will tako tho trouble to avoid some occurrences, no more, such as "Luna Tick" narrate, will happen. She stood in the window Throughout the long day, And gazed at tho snow In a lingering way ; In town the thermometer Stood thirty-one, "If I go out to-day, I'm a tou-of-a-guu I" B. W. H.

This is the leading literary association of tho State and is tho prido of her great school of learn ing. The t now, which fell to tho depth of about two inches hint Monday, still remains. Tho weather has been very cold for this place; tho thermometer falling as low us four degrees above zero. Sleigh riding and skating Arc thu craze. The heavy fall of snow ia Siskiyou's has beon the cause of much unroyance to tho railroad company, and trains lwvo been arriving "at all hours" for the past week. The cold weather has also had a telling effect upon tho "eligibly" youtlra of "web" propensities, and tlu? county clerk and pastors have been doiug u "land office business." Tho thermometer is ex pected to rite rapidly at unco. Articles havo been filod incorpora ting Crouch's Patent Manufacturing Co., of this city, with J. F. Crouch, 0. P. Houston and 0. W.

Among them ia a con trivance for telegraphing to and from a train in motion, un improved tele phone, electric battories, etc. He hat quito an extensive lubrutory here at pnwent. The reject ot thu company is to roAnufaoturo these patented arti cles and place thorn Upon the markets of the world. The writer lute nxido special in quiries of merchants and farmers as U their opinion concerning things ia general, financially speaking, and the universal verdictrie that, "money if eomoavlmt onsier," and "tho prospects aro flattering."
