From the Cascades’ frozen gorges,
Leaping like a child at play.
Winding, widening through the valley
Bright Willamette glides away;
Onward ever,

Softly calling to the sea;

Maims and mars us.
Leaves no track or trench on thee.

Spring’s green witchery is weaving
Braid and border for thy side;
Grace forever haunts thy journey,
Beauty dimples on thy tide;
Through the purple gates of morning,
Now thy roseate ripples dance,
Golden then, when day, departing.
On thy waters trails his lance.
Waltzing, flashing,
Tinkling, splashing.
Limpid; volatile, and free—-
Always huaried
To be buri#d
In the bitter, moon-mad sea.

On the roaring waste of ocean
Soon thy scattered waves shall toss,
’Mid the surges’ rythmic thunder
Shall thy silver tongues be lost.
Oh; thy g.immering rush of gladness
Mocks this turbid life of mine,
Racing to the wild Forever
Down the sloping paths of Time.
Onward ever,

Softly calling to the sea;

Leaves no track or trench on thee.

do this for himself; society cannot save

gnawing at the very vitals of her womanly

Her second marriage was to Dr. J. W.
Watts, at LaFayette, January 31, 1872.
With the exeeption of a year’s resi
dence at The Dalles, four years at Ore

band was receiver of the United States
land office under President Hayes’ ad
ministration, and one year at Albany,
Mrs. Watts has been a continuous res-1
ident of La Fayette. During her first
marriage six children were born. Only
one, Sidney G. Dorris, survives.
An
exciting adventure happened to Mrs.
Watts in crossing the plains. She was
captured by the Sioux Indians at Fort
Laramie, but was finally given up by
the chief who captured her. by the
threatening of Bosh Rickner. The in
