There's a beautiful face in the silentair,W hieh follows me ever anil near,

With smiling eves ami amber hair'.With voiceless lips, yet with breath ofprayer,

That I feel but cannot hear.The dimpled hand and ringlet of gold

Lie low in a niarLlc sleep;I stretch my hand tor a clasp of old,lint tho empty air is stnngely cold,

And my vigil alone 1 keep.There's a sinless brow with radiantrow ii,

And a cross laid down in the dust ;There a smile where never a shade

comes now,And tears no more from those deareyes How,

So sweet in their innocent trut.Ah, well! and summer has come again,

Singing her same old songs:But, oh! it sounds like a sob of pain,As it lloats in the sunshine and rain,

O'er the hearts of the world's gn.atthrong.

There's a beautiful region above thei skies.

55 Some One to I.ove.

Perhaps one of the most positiveproofs we have of the soul's inde-pendence, of the body is our greatneed of lovu and of something tolo- - e.

Were we mere animals, creaturesdoomed to perish after a few briefyears of life in this world, that whichcontents the brute would also con-tent us. To eat and sleep well, tohave an easy time of it, would be suf-ficient As it is we may have all ofthese things, and health to enjoythem, and yet be utterly wretched.Neither can mental food satisfy us."Some one to love," is our heart'scry.

When 'ho atmosphere of tender-ness is about us, we .rejoice; whenpeople are harsh and unkind we suffer. We begin life wishing to love allpeople, and believing they love us.Experience hardens us. Our dearones grow fewer; but as long as rea-son last, we must at least imaginethat some one loves us. The parentssisters and brothers, that dearestfriend whom we promise to love, andcherish until death parts us, thesecome into our lives and till them up.Afterwards come the little children,frail helpless babies, who need ourcare so much, and friends to whomwe are not kin, yet who grow dear tous.

Some have many loved ones, andsome but one. Heaven help thosew ho have none, though they are gen-erally to blame for their empty-heartednes- s;

for- kindness will winlove. They often show their cravingior something to love bv cherishingsome dumb animal a do-jr- , kitten, aparrot, perhaps, on which thev lav-ish, caresses which, letter spent,would hae bound some humanheart to theirs. Pride, or morbidsensitiveness mav have been at thebottom of their loneliness ami thesepets 0f theirs till the aching void alittle.

oume one to love ! is the crv of theuuman soul, the note to .1.heart responds; the bond which willbind us all together in that worldwnere mourners shall be comfortedana wve snail reign lorever.

San Francisco Examiner.It is very true that there is no

longer much utility in discussingcertain questions of the boundariesbetween the State and General Gov-ernments, which formed much of thestaple of political argument fifteenor twenty years ago. The civil warundoubtedly disposed of manv ofthose principles for whose establish-ment our forefathers fought moststoutly, and the new amendments tothe Constitution, howsoever wrong-ly and irregularly adopted, are fixedfacts, against whose existence argu-ment is idle and contestation futile.33ut while we recognize," accept, ob-serve and obey tlio laws that havemade inroads upon the powers of theStates, in accordance with the formsand means provided for changes inthe Constitution, we do not yield oneiota of the rights yet remaining totho States, and we have no idea ofabandoning them as long as the vestai rignts 01 uncrtv art; burning inthe land. Tho States of the Unionare not now as thev were at the beginning of tin's Government. Thevhave been materially reduced in jurisdiction; their internal affairs havebeen seriously circumscribed; theirrelations with the General Government and the relations of the Gem.ral Government with them, have beengreatlv altered bv modificationsmade in the organic law. Yet theyare stiu states, witli their rignts asStates resting upon sound principltnat gave them birth, ami being asseveral, if not separate, members ofthe union in winch all of them wereand are bound together by voluntaryties of origin, of interest, and of ex-

pectation of future wealth andstrengt h.

The States gave up some of theirprerogatives when they made up theUnion, aiul they have vielded othersin a few years past. I5ut they havenot conceded more than the Consti-tution with its amendments shows.And it is the duty of each and all ofthem to one another, to assert andexercise all the powers remainingwith them, and to resist by all legit-imate means in Congress, and in theCourts, every eii'ort made, whetherin open usurpation, or under the

of a pretended national law,for the national good, to force theFederal Government into further en-

croachments upon their domestic ati-thor- itv

in their own exclusive matters within them-- , Ives.

It is the height of folly for the ro-

lled ing and patriotic men of thecountry, who appreciate the import-ance of preserving our system of gov-

ernment tis it was originated, as faras possible, to bo coueu rring in therevolutionary policy of the recklessleaders of tlio party in- power, andconceding that they have tin- - i i:;ht todo what they have the might, to do.and that it is idle to attempt to standup against them.

De the apparent popularity ofTIa.lieaiisni. then is conservativesentiment enough and conservativepower enough in this country to givesome protection to the Constitution,and to defer, if not defeat, the ulti-mate aims of the usurpers, until thewhole nation aroused by a sense ofthe impending dangers shall proclaim a change of men and measuresat the. poll for tho Presidency. It ismi possible that centrali.ation can gomuch farther than it lias gone, with-out eiituely overthrowing the insti-tutions of our Government. And ifthe people of all sections, and therepresentatives of the people in theFederal councils, continue to be in-

different, as they now appear to be.to all iufrinii'einents of tho rights oftli" States, the day is not so far intho future when all the politicalpower of the entire country will beexorcised either directly or indirect-ly at Washington. Because all claimto the right of secession has been re-

nounced forever, on the part of theStates of the South, it by no meansfollows that there is an admission ofan utter abrogation of every rightoriginally asserted and enjoyed byeach or any State of the Union.

The great principle and point ofpolitical difference between Democ-racy and R nlk-alisn- i is that involv-ing the legitimate powers of the Gen-

ii Government on the one handit: 1 of the several States on the oth- -

er Let us se; to it that this prinei- -

de is kept prominently in view.

If he dreams of an earthquake, and1 turmoil generally, it is a sign thathe is going to be married.

If he (being a married man)lreams of some fearful mysteriousLinger, it is a sign that his mother- -

If he dreams his head is in danger,and that his hair falls out, is a signthat he will have a quarrel with hiswife.

From the Salem Mercury.The Dalles Mount tineor and the

Salem St'itexnunt are busily engagedin manufacturing false statementsin relation to the Executive oilice.T ie MoUut iiiiL'cr has been examining i

the report of the Secretary of State , of School Land Commission- -on State exi eases.aud makes the following specification on fees andperquisites, as lie calls the itemsreferred to :

vannah, pulled'

"From this chapter wo learn theastonishing fact ithat for the twovears ending September '., 1872, theGovernor, whose salary and compen-sation is definitely and unequivocallyfixed at fifteen hundred dollars peryear, by the article of the Constitu-tion quoted, received in perquisitesfor the "performance of duties con-nected with his oilice the aggregateof s'ly KJ 00. These services are forinspecting the penitentiary, the sumof ')S' o!, and for attending to andlisting State land, the sun: of '2 10."

Let us give the editor a little in-

formation, which every person cfcommon understanding probablyknow s already. The Act of our Leg-islature of Oct. 21st, 1K!)1, provides

of life

that the Governor shall appoint theSuperinteiider.t j roads for loaned his honorand be the general inspector of thesame. Sec. od of said Act is as fol-lows :

See. o. "The Governor shall beallowed necessary traveliug expenses, j

and an annual salary of two hundred j

dollars to be paid quarterly, and thoSecretary of State shall issue war-- ;

rants on the State Treasurer for thesame."

This Act has been on tho statuebook for ten years and has neverbeen condt mtied by any Legislature,newspaper or citizen oeiore. xnetwo Republican predecessors thopresent Governor have received thisallowance, with the support and ap- -

proval of the tw o Republican journalswhich now denounc-- the same. Thisact was passed by a Republican Leg- -

islature. After two Republican Gov- - '

ernurs have received the. bciiotit of it,these Republican newspapers de- - j

liounce the allowance because nowreceived by a Democratic Governor,Oar readers will see tho joint.

These editors may not know thatthis law exist-;- . But they might say !

that this A'-- t is unconstituti nal be- - :

caipe the Constitution says that theGovernor shall receive no fees orperquisites whatever for the per- -

formance any duties connectedwith his oilice. We believe this Actwas fram d by the President of ourConstitutional Convention, and ofcourse in his opinion, as well asin the opinion of the Legislature was i

( Constitutional. 1 he point is tins:lor the performance of any o!:ie:ai actw ithin the cons, italional duties oftho Governor, no fees or perquisitescan bo allowed or received ; but ifthe Legislature cast upon the Exec-utive certain duties not enumeratedor by the Constitutionthat he should perform, it is compe-tent and proper that pay should beallowed.

ceived not only liis two hundreddollars a year for this duty, and hisordinary expenses of the service, butduring the last year of his ad minis- - j

tration he had warrants for over v;7U'Jfor carriage hire, on the pretence ofriding to the Penitentiary : Yet after j

the warrants had been condemned j

by an investigating committee, thelast ICadical iiegisiatnre. ol wnicnthe editor of the Stt'Je.anxu was ChiefClerk of the House, and Mj'sl- -

In'jiter a supporter of its work, pass-ed an Act covering all this steal andall others of like character ofthe Woods-Ma- y administration, jda-cin- g

t ie fraudulent items so detailedinto the general appropriation bills,that they could not be vetoed withoutstopping the v. neels of the StateGo eminent, and consumated theswindle upon the public, with theconnivance and support of the editors who now howl against the presentadministration. Rut these editorsare sick men."When the il was sick.th" devil a saint

won Id b-- ;

IJut w hen he ot w ell, the d vil a saint washe."

There is the item $210, statedby the editor as being "forattending to'and listing State land."The record from which he copiedthis item reads: "expenses locat-ing and listing lauds."

By act of tiie of Oct.15, io)2, the Governor was appointed"Laud Commissioner for the Stateof Oregon," and was authorized amirequired to locate all the publiclands enuring to the State of Oregon,under several different Acts of Con-gress therein named. This Act au-thorized the Governor to employproper assistance in selecting thelands, and made provision that suchpersons should receive live dollarsper day for such labor, with neces-sary expenses. Under this Act Govs.Gibbs and Woods employed severalpersons to act in this capacity,spent nearly 2,000 in etlorts whichfinally amounted to but little results,as far securing tho public lands ofthe State was concerned.

The present Governor had to domost of the work of his predecessorsover again, and has succeededvesting in the State the great bodyof public lands to which she is entitled. He has employed no person

The .?'J10 mentioned as being paidto the Governor, is shown bv thevouchers and bv the orders of theBoard

to be paid to defray the expensesof the Private Secretary in locatingand listing liSo,000 acres of land.lhis work required sixty-eig- ht trip-licate lists or two hundred and foursingle lists. The Governor has re-ceived nothing on account of locatingall our public land not a dime.

This attack upon the Executiveserves to bring out the great contrastbetween his work and that of hisRepublican predecessors. The onehas been successful and economicalthe other unsuccessful and expensive.The present administration has beenone of honor and reform. Its Pe-publie-

predecessors was an administration of dishonor and extravagance. The present Executive- liasnot received a single dime for fees orperquisites of his oilice for the performance of any oikcial act. ood:received fees for everything, pardoned criminals for pav, approved wag- -

New York C'orniner-eia- AdvertiserAt the window for the delivery of

advertised letters special vigilance isrequisite on the part ot the clerks toguard against the delivery of advertised letters to unlawful and mistaken claimants. They sometimes, however, have a difficult task in uersnading an applicant that the letter lie in-quires for is not for him, but for au-noth- er

individual of the same name.One of them had such a task not

long since, when a daintily dressedand perfumed gentleman presentedhimself at a window and ed for aletter advertised as remaining un-called for, and addressed to EdwardJackson.

The clerk soon found the missiveinquired for, but, after reading thosuperscription, said, a decidedtone:

"This letter is not for von. sir."''Not for mo ! Isn't it for Edward

Jackson V'Ves, sir; but it isn't for yon.''My name is Edward Jackson.''1 don't doubt it. sir; but never-

theless I assure you that this letterisnot tor you.

The clerk knowing that Mr. James,while lie would not countenance im-

pertinence "talking back," would besun1 to sustain him if he were in theright, coolly answered :

'I can't give you the letter unlessvou answer the description on the ad-

dress.''Isn't mv name Edward Jackson,

and isn't the letter addressed to him"?Don't I answer the description?'

'Yes. sir. so far; but that is notenough, The letter (reading the ad-

dress) is for Edward Jackson, color-ed cook on the schooner Dirty Jane.If vou answer to that descriptionhere's your letter.'

But Mr. Jackson didn't take it, andvanished leaving behind him theodor of 'Jockey Club' perfume, andmuttering maledictions on the cus-tom of advertising letters, and onthe head of the culinary artist of theDirty Jane.

Secession Am inj Crangcrs.

A gentleman writing from Webster City, Iowa, to a Chicago paper,says :

"At last the differences among thePatrons of Husbandry in this county, have culminated in the withdraw-al of Marion Grange No. 391, andt'ieeveriug of its connection with theState and National Grange. It is un- -

neeessarv to detail all the causes thatlave induced this action. The members believe and declare that tneviave been subjected to impositions, ; a parlor humble though itt 1 ....ind that the machinery of the order

as now constituted, is useless as welllis expensive. It is rumored that other Granges in this neighborhood areconsidering the propriety of alsowithdrawing. It is said that one ofthe principal causes for ilissatifac- -tion is the Granges l is a lady there, and youa wav from the original obiects oftheir organization and into politics.

1 ne members of Marion Grangebelieve that the and NationalGranges are being used not to bene-fit till farmers as a class but for thegain of a few individuals who wishto live on salaries paid by the farm-ers' money; and in soms instances topalm off upon them worthless patentsfor agricultural machinery at enor-mous pa-ice- The follow ing are theresolutions :

Resolved, That the Towa StateGrange, though pretending to be amore popular body, is characterizedby the same autocratic organizationand assumption of power whose fea-tures are always obnoxious and intolerably oifensive to freedom andjustice.

Resolved, That the experience ofMarion Grange?, No. 301, in the Or-der of the Patrons of Husbandry, isa history of repeated wrongs,- - fraudsand insults inllicted upon it by thoseclaiming and exercising the highestauthority, and of assumptionsand high-hande- d usurpations, datingfrom its Jirst organization, when itwas swindled by the State deputy,up to the recent attempted impostureby the Master himself.

Resolved, That the members ofthe Marion Grange, conclude fromexperience ami reliection, tnat iarm-er- s

can combine and perfect an organization for their benefit, like theFarmers' Associat ion of Illinois, forinstance, more ed'.-ctiv- e than the Or-

der ot Patrons of Husbandry, whichshall possess fundamental laws moreiu havmonv with the genius whichcontrols our republican institutions,and which can be maintained at agreatly reduced cost; in short, thatfarmers can get along much betterwithout than with the present pre-cention- s,

extravagant, and viciousgovernment of the order.

Resolved, That Marion GrangeNo. ;S01, is and ought to be free andindependent of the Iowa StateGrange, and the National Grange1,and that its onr.ection with saidGranges is, and ought to be

Midtiing I. live Straw,

Dr. Dio Lewis writes: "Of theeight pounds which a man eats anddrinks in a day, it is thought that notless than Jive pounds leaves his bodythrough the skin. And of these fivepounds a considerable percentage;escapes during the night while he isiu bed. The larger part of this iswater, but in addition there is mucheffete and poisonous matter. Thisbeing in great part gaseous in form,penetrates every part of the bed, andthus the mattrass, blankets, as wellas sheets, soon become foul and needpurification. The mattrass needsthis quite its much as the sheets. Toallow the sheets to be used withoutwashing or changing three or sixmonths, would be regarded as badhousekeeping. Rut I must insist ifa thin sheet can absorb poisonous ex-

cretions of the body so as to makeit unlit for use in a few days, a thickmattrass which can absorb and con-

tain a thousand times as"' much ofthese poisonous secretions certainlyneeds purifying as often as once inthree months. A sheet can be wash-ed. A mattrass cannot be renovatedin this way. Indeed, there is no oth-er way of cleaning a mattrass but bysteaming or picking it to pieces, andthus in fragments exposing it to thedirect rays of the sun. As theseprocesses are scarcely practicablewith any of the ordinary mattrasses.I am decidedly of the opinion thatthe good old-fashion- straw bed. tobe filled every three months, and thetick washed, is the sweetest and thehealthiest of beds.

A Word to Ladies.

Aunt Fannie says she can alwaystell when are children in thohouse. The chairs are not set backin the most pe feet o d r; little toysare scattered about; little chairs arein the corner, and large ones are tiedwith reins, showing what wonderfulhorses they have been in some littlechild's imagination. In differentways, but just as surely, can we tellwhen there are young' ladies in ahouse. When vou are ushered into

mav be sure of finding her amiableand sensible, and if you are interest-ed enough to make further inquiriesinto her accomplishments, her fondmother will tell you that she can :

And so it dojes. If every 1

young lady would occupy all her .

spare moments, she would find muchuseful work accomplished in a year;and it is a very satisfying thing tolook back upon a year, or even amonth, or a week, and see substan-tial work well done to show for thetime spent.

I called at the house of a friend,not long sinces who had a bloomingdaughter of sixteen. The mother mettne at the door looking careworuDandthin. The sitting room was cold andin disorder, so I was shown into thekitchen. " Jennie," she apologized,'gets so little time to help me theseshort mornings, that I do not get mywork done very early. SheChas tobe oil' to school as soon as breakfastis over, and evenings "she goes to vtr

dancing school, or to see the girls,and so. you see, hasQ little time tohelp me.'

A lire was soon kindled and the sittin-

g-room put in order, but it hadnothing cozy or cheerful shout itno pictures, no mantel ornaments;no climbing green about the room;and from this I thought I could drawpretty accurately the character ofthis daughter.

GiiD. you do not realize the ex-

tent of your powers and influence ifyou do not exert them for the benefit

f the home circle. Re more at homeand less in tlie street. Think less ofthe boys if you would have them tothink more of you. Consider thatyour mother has the best claim onyour time, and that it will greatlyrelieve her if you take more interestin the work. Rise and put the housein order befoie breakfast in the mor-ning. Learn to cook on Satnrday.Learn fancy work every kind youcan. Adorn your walls and mantleswith pictures and pretty things. Donot let your grandmother sigh overyou and say: "It wasn't so, in herday." Let her ratlier be proud ofyon, and let your parents be proudof you, and, when you are oldenough, you will have a husband tobe proud of you.

" What is your name, sir?" askedthe professor, looking through hisspectacles.

"Sir," said the professor, halfstarting out of his chair at the supposed impertinence, but not quitesure that he had understood himcorrectlv : r

" Did you not say I was a brick?"returned the professor, with (Stifledin.ignation.

" No, sir. You a.kod my name,and I answered your question-- Myname is U. R. A. Brick Uriah Rey-nold Anderson Brick."
