This sjiace is given for the use and benefit ol our local writers of verse, and we hope to make it a pleasinu feature of the paper. To that end contributions "are solicited, but they must possess undoubted literary merit to" obtain place and recogni tion here. Ki. Written for the Scour.) HOMK, When daily tasks are done, and tired hands Lie .still and folded on the resting knee; When loving thoughts have leave to looe their bands. And wander over past and future free; When visions bright of love and hopeful tilled, Bring weary eves a spark of olden lire; One castle fairer than the rest we build, One blessing more than others we desire; A hemic, our home, wherein all waiting past. We two may stand together, and alone; Our patient task work finished, and at last Love's perfect blessedness and peace our own. Some little nest of safety and delight, Guarded by (iod's Angels day anil night. We cannot guess if this dear home shall lie In some green spot, embowered with arch liifj trees, Where bird-notes joined with brook-notes gliding by, Shall make us music as wo sit at ease Or if amid the eity'.s busy din Is built thereat for which we look and long, No sound withal shall mar the peace within. The calm of love that time has proved so strong Oor if Ah, solemn thought I this home of ours Doth lie beyond the world's confusing noise, And if the nest be built in Kden's bowers, What do we still, but silently rejoice? We have a home, but of Its happy state We know n it yet. Weare content to wait. Sophia V. Win:ni.i:n lli'Mriumv. Po.tland, Oregon. Teloeaset Tattling. Health tolerably good. Crops about, in and prospeety good. UiisinosH looming; times improving. The hills mo decked gloriously with the lleecy form of young lambs, Roads are in splendid condition and pome are taking curly advantage by hauling lumber. Miss Emily Ashby has gone to North Powder to spend the summer in the Hiohardson hotel, "And it shall rain on tho just and the unjust." Wo aro not particular about being classed with either, but we had a delightful shower Monday night. Our school directors seem to be rather mixed up, sonic how, but never theless school is progressing linely. Let 'em sail 1 Tho Chinese section gang on No. OS has been dispensed with, and white men have been placed on instead. This is a humane move, and wo sin cerely hope it will be earned out fully. W. A. Catea is planting trees on his timber culture, ami there is some talk of having a Fourth of July celebration in the grove this season. Teloeaset will keep up with tho times, and don't you forget it. Win. Eceles has purchased n set of blacksmithing tools, and John Han son wields the hammer. This is busi ness; no delay will bo made on account of break-downs, and so it will bo an advantage all around; nothing like home rule and advancement. Such men will always bo in the lead. "There is a class of people in tho world," says Longfellow, "that think life is nothing but a dismal swamp, and that they aro destined to walk con tinually on the shore with a cambric handkeiehief in their hand to wipe away tho incessant Hood of tears." We have some of that class hero, and that is the reason our city iloes not ad vance any faster than it does. Last week tho correspondent , from North Powder to tho Hcotrr, mentioned an organization iu that place, tho ini tial letters of which woro O. N. G. Our men of brains, after trying to lit names to the letters with tho intention of organizing at this place, guvo up, hopelessly, for tho names that could bo found appropriate wero "Our Native Gall" and "Old Nick's Grandchildren," and it was decided that wo did not pbssess tho requifito merit and wo have- not organized.

Pine Valley Pie ,;i April 211, 1SSS. Oh, for rain, is tho cry. The peddler and the book agent have made their appe mince. Your itemize!1 is not dead, but busi ly engaged planting "tatcrs," "ingens," etc. Mr. White, the dentist who visited our .valley recently, did such a "land olliee" business that he expeejs to re turn to the valley in a few weeks. Mr. Win. Hoth, of Union, was in the valley looking after his interests bore, during the week. "Hilly" said he had to hurry homo as he had not mude his garden yet. Messrs. Pindel, Potter and others who recently returned from Grande Hondo, report crops but little in ad vance of Pine. Vegetation grows won derfully fast here when once started. A Lodge of I. (). (). F. will be in stituted in "Holiville" on the evening of April 2:1, with Messrs, T. N. Profit, .). A. Penney, A. P. Laudritm, Jas. II. Chandler, Isaac Curry, and others, as starters. Tho young sneak who has no bettor or higher employment than stealing along (where they happen to dislike some one) and throwing open their gate in hopes, no doubt, of damage from stock, is, to say the least, deserv ing of the "llinglishnian's" compli ment that she is an " 'L of a lady" and thetoby displays her "Into inwardness" very plainly. Such actions are con temptible, but when they become inju rious as well it is time to make them feel ashamed, if not totally devoid thereof. I am building an Odd Fellows hall, you know. F. I., Jr. Wonder where Ella and Stella and Jo. and Charlie were all going. L. C. Wonder if Ike got his pocket knife. L. 1). I just thought I'd take a little walk and see my girl down hero; when a horse thinks he is better than 1 am, I have no use for him. (). A.

Rob. fixed up his" buggy in good shape and took me out rilling but the girl, oh where was she! Hubert. Did you know that dentist is a married mun, has a wife and two children' ). A. Oh, yes, I am well acquainted with his wife. L. C. There aro two schools in session in Pine valley. One in Fairviow district, taught by Mr. Wise, and one in Kunny Dell district, taught by Miss Stalker. 1 no latter scliool lias only been m session two weeks, and much fault was already being found at tho end of tho lirt week, to the effect that the teach er would not have tho fifth reader in school, desiring those competent to go in fifth reader to go from fourth render into history, that children sat there for days and did not recite, that a little bow of about 11 years was carrying a knife and revolver, threatening to cut and shoot other small boys, etc., etc. Wo don't pretend to know how true this is, but wo do think that to "kick" and wrangle is the natural condition of some in distiiet No. .'10. Any common school teacher with .'18 or -10 pupils of all grades and sizes has too many lessons to hear to do all real justice, although it would seem that putting hcholars who have not studied element ary geography from fourth leader into history is rather ''dropping a stitch." Wo think that all pupils should bo given a chance to iccite, ami that eith er teacher, parents, or directors aro on the wrong track when little boys 1110 allowed to carry dangerous weapons and threaten to use them. Such ur chins, if not checked, frequently termi nate their career disastrously. The young lady teacher is a stranger to iih, but wo sincerely trust who may straight en out her school and continue it suc cessfully. Oa itit 1 n 11. AN KXri.ANATJON.

Gilkinson runs the Hash House in Mills city. O. D. Thomliiison has lenled his hall to K. company, .'Ird regiment, Oiegon National Guards, for one year, to use as an arnioiy. Jack Godfrey, who was ariested and found guilty of grand lanceny, last week gave bail (leg bail) and has loft for parts unknown, lie did not like the idea of laying in jail in Union till the grand jury meets. Mr. O'Hryants little boy met with a sad accident last week, lie had one of his little fingers cut oil' with an axe. Dr. Savior dressed the hand and the little fellow is doing well. The doctor has the finger iu alcohol. Yortorday (Sunday) was the most exciting of all days known to the pop ulace of North Powder. About 0 or half past :i o'clock, the freight train going east ran six head of fine horses on a bridge and killed them. Four or the horses belonged to George Patten of Stinimerville, and were val ued by the owner at JffiOO, the other two belonged to Mr. Hill and Mr. Cumniiiigs, both of whom live in Grande Koude valley. The horses followed tho track for a quarter of a mile before the slaughter commenced, 'flie engineer had ample time to have stopped tho train had ho been so dis puted. J. H. R. llusiness of all kinds is booming here. Planer and flour mills aro kept busy night and day. Mr. Stanford has sold his ranch and putviiased town property. Horn. Apiil Kith, to tho wife of Mr. N.

A large attendance is expected. Mr. .1. R. Hardin has lately finished some line artistic work for the I. O, O. F. in the way of scenery and tign writing. Mrs. Slotit has returned to tho val ley with her invalid sister and since, re ports are in circulation, that she is quite low and is not expected to sur vive long. Those days "when the office will hunt the man" may come, hut, an yet, Mime individuals limit very indus triously for tho office and got badly left also. One Jack Godfrey, while intoxicated, purloined a pistol from the post office and otherwiso conducted himself im properly, for which he was placed un der bonds, hut niiido his escape rather suddenly and is still at large.
