Of all the beautiful picturesThat hang on Memory'. waD,

b one of a dim old forest,That seemeth best of all ;

Not for its gnarled oaks olden,Dark with the mistletoe;

Not for the violets goldenThat sprinkle the vale below;

Not for the milk.white IIllesThat lean from the fragrant bedge,

Coquetting all day with the sunbeaps,And stealing their golden edge;

Not for the vines on the uplandWhere the bright red berries rest;

Nor the pinks, nor the pale, sweet coweslps,It sauemth to me the best.

I onee had a little brother,With eyes that were dark and deep-

In the lap of that olden forestHe leth In posee, asleep;

Light as the down of the thistle,Free as the wlnds that blow,

We roved there the beautiful Summers,The Summers of long ago;

But his feet on the hills grew weary..And one of the Autumn eves

I made for my little brotherA bed of the yellow leaves.

Sweetly hie pale arms foldedMy neck In a meek embrace,

As the light of Immortal beautySilently covered hib face;

And when the arrows of sunsetLodged in the tree-tops bright,

ieu fell, in hl asatit-lke beauty,Asleep by the gates of light.

Therefore of all the pictures :1That hang on Memory's wall,

The one of the dim old foresttSemeth the best of all.

The Bonny Handle that Make(ood flaoad.

aTy ioN a. AITCEusow.

I own the charms of rounded arms,Of eyes that love's soft lustre shed;Of raven hair, and tresses fair,Of cheeks that coy with white and red,;Of pouting lips whose cupid dipsThe arrows that to hearts are sped ;Yct none of these my fancy pleaseLike the bonny hands that make good bread.

Some hands have art to move the heart,By waking music's sweet appeal;Some borrow dyes from perfect skies,And, through the canvass, make as feel;Some make the dress fair forms emsTo win the heart and turn the head;For me, more rare beyond compareAre the bonny hands that make gool bread.

Gay Maiden, vain the rustling traln,Those jeweled hands so idly crossed,That idler mind can pleasure nadIn every hour ignobly lost!Your jewels shine, your looks are Ane,But 111 not seek, wheneer I wed,For jeweled bands, or gold and lands,But for bonny hands that make brown bread.

Dying the Easiest TLing a 1a desu.[From the New York Tribun4]

Mr. Beecher was in an unusually talks-tive mood last night, and discoursed famil-iarly in his lecture room about the variousideas of death. He did not think it an evi-dncce of especial Christian grace to bewilling to die. lie did not think it naturalfor the young or for those full of the actv-ities of life to desire to die. It is better tobe willing to live and perform the dutiesof life. When Paul said it was better to do-part ho was an old man in prison. If amOctober pipin says it is ready to 'drop, isthat any reason that a little green apple inJune should be ready? It is the businessof little green apples to get ripe. All therpresentatUons of the Testament aboutdeath are full of cheer and hope. For Paulto die was to go to Christ. Dying is notgrowing short of breath and feeble ot pulse;it is flying up to the All.loving Soul of theuniverse. It is going to sweet copapnion-

Se struggle on through the world fndinglittle companionship, but we go to thespirits of just men made perfect. We gowhere all the conditions lift as up to therealm of nobility. There all is ooacord,There is no selfishness, no hardmee 4adcrudeness and rudeness and revenge; all are.working up with one sweet Impule, withgreat genial creative force of deviae love.These thoughts ring In my soul like thebellbUf a .off eity drawing aoi t1tthMward. Dying is the easiest thing um'od.The sat•feh gs isn ifel but asu rule mendie as easily as a door turns on its hlpltp.Dyia ngoing bdme, not to s•pine d•s'•otto'Orental luxury but to suprme se, rtyjwhere every part I devloped and tin the realm of love.

Bless God for the privilege of dylng Mybrother Charles, who was always I, ad.yJIgmood, once oongratulated mny f aer uponthe fact that he b a' live much longer.

"JUumph," said the old "I 4u+.mthank say of the boys for in to m isthat way I don't to die. If I 44my.oice. and It s right to chose, Iwoeld fight the b eall ore." 'fsther"eneaonled Beeher.

[From Grmp GOrenwoos ?lans cerspeasal.]Tahoe is the most begtful lake I. have

ever beheld. It Is an emerald on the browof the mountain. 'Marvelously clear andsparkling, it is surrounded by the most ea-chantleg scenery, and is altogether a saurprise, a weader, a dellight. ometime, Ihop to' be abin to desurie it. I am vainenoughto think I couldk do it, for I haveonly to close msy eyes, and the whole exqui-site picture of radiant .ies and autujunplbanks, and purple mougtaips nad soft greenwater, glowsand me•l• and shlrasmei beforeme. Abh! Nature was n a happy, tendr,divine mood ' he 'she ftrnmdei lh Taboe-and its exqtisite sufeoundings. And yetthat sweet mood succeeded a pissloune,fiery outburst, lasting nobody knows howmany centuiles; for it it Is mid 'by "scien-tists" that a volcano seethed and rum-bled where Tahoe now'tpples and asiles.This lovely shket og !saer was oecs namedLake Bigler, after a Democratic Governor,but triumphant Republicanism re-christenedit Tahoe-an improvement, perhaps, poet-icaily, but politically a very small piece ofbusineqs. There is an admirable hotel atthe laq, and a small steamer for pleasureexcurelons, a charming drive along itsshores, and prime fishing in its cool, trans-lucent waters. On the face of a high rock,in full view from the road and the lake,there is a singular natuirl eurloslty. It isa profile, formed apparently by cerasin de-preseions in the stone-a colossal intaglio-and is a striking and a very noble likenessof Shakespear. Itis strange tothink thatNature has chiseled his face in the eternalrock, high among the cliffs, where the ea-gles nested, in this savage mountaln-land ina time when the New World Itaelf seemedbut a monstrous mirage, or fats maergana,afar down the watery slope of the wourld,when not even the magic seas and the spa-cious heaven of this imagination, took it in.

N. P L -PACIFIC MDIISION.

The Kalama (W. T.) Beacoe, of .Dec. 15,has the following items in regard to theprogress of the work on the Pacific divisionof the N. P. R. R

The latter part of this week has been fa-vorable weather for railroad work, so far,and although the recent storms done consid-erable amount of damage to several placeson the grade, the work of closing repairs,ballasting. gravelling, rip rapping, etc..seems to be going on satisfactorily to thbsoeein charge.

Twenty-one miles of iron isenw laid, andconstruction trains are engaged in takinagdown the iae such material as seems to berequisite at the front.

The bark Helen Almy arrived this weekfrom San Ftancisco, loaded with railroadiron, being part of the cargo of the HoratioHarris, and two more bartk are reported duewith railroad iron.

A first-clwe passenger .and baggage cararrived this week,..ad is pow ccady for thesoon expected 25 miles excursion.

On the 10-mile extension, Mr. Montgom-ery is shifting the force of Chinese thatworked on his 25-mile contract.

On the 80-milep clearing and grubbing,there are about a hundred hands.

The Olympia (W. T.) .an.ert$t of IDec.-th, says the terminus question appears to

rest easy now. every place having put t Itsbids.

The city of London, properly speaking,represents less than m00,000 souls. In 1885,when municipal reform was aecomplisbedin England, the city did not count morethan 100,000 Inhabitants, nevertheless theinterests which were concentrated therewere so considerable, and the respect inspir-ed by its traditional constitution Was sopowerful, that its molification was not ven-tored on. This cortoration was the onlyone in the kingdom which preserved itsancient privileges, consecrated by a greatnumber of charters, of which the firstmounts back to the time of Edward theConfessor.

It has been said that there is only oneman who has a correct idea of the dale ofthe United States, and he is the man whodrove a yoke of oxen, in 1850-81, fromMaine to Californis. However this may be,the newspaper remark that "few people re-alise the Immensity of our territorial are,":es too true. There ,are In the irut West

eleven territories, two or thre of whichare twice or three times as large all NewEngland, and it is a small territory that Isnot at least ten times as large as Massachu-setts, while Dakota and Arizona are half aslarge again as Colorado. The eleven terri-tories, as accurately as can at present be as-certained, contain over one billion and aquarter of acre', (1,000,385.919,) exceedtngby nearly two hundred thousand squaremiles, the aggregate territoryot all the pres-eat admitted States of the Union.

Death of a Tloang Lady Oace Consideredthe Belle of iteon.

A lady writer in the Cincinnati t7arenlclsays. "Some years ago when visiting BostonI heard mueb of Mia Fannie Carter,: whowas caled the Bells of the Hub, aibett alittle showy and fast for that latitude. Herportrait was on exhibition, and most of theyounger portion of the oeemunity went tosee it. Shewas :certainly a very beautifulwoman, and was reported to be as sprightlyas beautiful, and to sing divinely. Subse-quently she married Mr. Lorrillard, son ornephew. of the rich tobacconist of NewYork, and went with him to Europe. Nextwe hear of her at the Tuileries, completingby her voice the conquest of the Emperor,which she had already made by her beauty.Then it flashed over the world, and societyin Europe and Atetichk was startled by theannouncement that the beautiful Americanhad done what none but' an Ametaicknwoman would have dared to do. Seekingto rival Eugestu and the Princess Metter-nich, she had appeared at a court ball, herhead surrounded by a halo of light proceed-ing from tiny jetsof gas, the reservoir beingbid under the masses of hair which shewore. Mr. Lorillard died, and his widowmarried Mr. Ronalds. It was not a happyunion, and they parted. She lived nmuchabroad, in Germany and for a time in Tunis,where she went for her healsth. She held

quite a couirt there, being a friend and fh-vorite of the Bey of Tunis. HIappening inan artist's studio one day in New York, Iwas attracted by the criticism of a lady,who stood with her back tome, on a picturewe had gone there to see. She pointed oatits beauties, found fault with the coloringand light in which it was placed, and it wasall done with such apparent knowledge andin so assured a manner that I asked whothe lady was. She was Mrs..Bonalds, andthq picture was a portrait of herself. Nowshe is dead, after a short, brilliant, yetcheckered career. She died recently of con-sumption at the Isle of Wight."

The Democratic Party is at present 4 hlit.tle deficient in its outfit. The Columbits(Ga) Sun sets forth the want as follows:"The great want of the Democratic partyat present, as a leader of superior moralcourage, of commanding talent, and nation-al reputation--some such man as Clay. Web-ster, or Calhoun. The party now too closelyresembles a forest ot young pines, all alike'id size end bight, thrifty singly, but some-what sappy and green. We wish to see anold giant through whos branches the windsof centuries I ave whistled, stand out. inisolation upon the clear sky, toweritg likePompey's pilliar at Alexandria, a safe laud-mark for the political tempest tossed mar-iner."

An••KAsAs FLIES.--They have largehorseflies out in Arkansas, hut the peopleare Intelligent and full of resources. Thefarmers out there hive lately comae a g4i oon them that is likely to discourage furtheremigration of this kind. They patientlywatch the varmint as he wrestles *ith theiranimals, and after the horse has become dis-abled by lose of blood and lays down in thefurrow, they just harness the "fly' up inthe horse's toggery, and keep right alongwith the plowing. There are people soincredulous as to doubt the truth of thisstatement, of course. There is no pleasurein writing for such people, anyway.--.1.•.

The works were begautin 1030 andcompletCd in 1708, standing several ieiteswhile in progress.
