Oh! I paint wi b boll in t misterly dial.
And I bow to no rival throughout the broad land.
Not Baphael or Titian can Tie with jet skill.
Or image the hues that I frame at my wilL
I dip my brorh in the sparkling wave,
I lea re my tooeh on the forest care,
Never a mortal such tracery drew.
Al on a fringed lake beneath my pencil grew.
I take the foam from Niagara's brow.
Where the torrent is raring and plunging now ;
And I hang her erest with such pendants o'er.
As no sculptor or artist could equal hefjre.
Bat the DoMest work fur many day.
As over the earth I have taken my way.
Was the painting with scarlet and gulden sheen.
The whole extent of the forest green.
Twaa s moonlit night, and the shadows fell
With a waving light, on mountain and dell.
The leave fell asleep In sumher dress.
But awoke In gorgeous Liveliness.
Oh ! the sun rose bright no that au.umn day,
And a glorious sight brought tin mjrnicg ny ;
For the tureet trees, all withered an 1 ol L

And over the earth was a softening light,
A roseate hue, yet so clear and bright.
That it east a gleam on the shadiest spot.
Where erra the sunbeams had entered not.
And the purple glow on the distant hills.
And the sparkling of pearly, gushing rills.
For my picture so rare was a setting meet ;
What painter shall dare with my skill compete !
And when from the caverns there came t'-io sjft

To kiss the red lips of the blushing trees.
There fell such a shower from the drooping stems.
That the air seemed full of the ruby gems.
Then above the green tnrf was a carpet more rare :

More tasfal an I gjryetsas the Mealing appears

ftlfADOVta OF Ml AST A.
JoaujUln Miller. Tnsrnjr Bride.
THE CHILD OF A POET S LOVE.
Wrinkled and brown as a bag of leather
A squaw sits moaning long and low.
Yesterday she was a wife and mother.
To-day she Is rocking her to and fm.
A desolate widow ia weeds and w ".
a Ike Surrmi.
Thus wrote the wild poet of the
Sierras, Joaquin Miller, but little did
the world know of the depth of mean
ing in these lines. Never did it dream
that this squaw, who '"sat rocking
her to and and fro, a desolate widow
in weeds and woe," was his own
dusky spouse. And yet such seems
to Lave been the fact, and in the San
Francisco Chronicle we have the
whole of the wonderful story.
The writer tells us that fifteen
years ago, in a little green valley on
the banks of the Upper Sacramento,
there dwelt a remnant of the once
powerful tribe of Taschast-as. But
little is known of the history of the
tribe, except that they were far above
the average of the California Indi
an in all that invests the aborginal
character with sentiment and ro
mance. They were wild, fierce and
v.arlikc, and for years had held in
undisputed possession the region
overlooked by the snow-capped dome
of Mount Shasta. The memory o(
this tribe has been immortalized by
a wild, weird, romantic poem from
the pen of Oregon's long haired ver
sifier Joaquin Miller, who, in youth,
spent nearly a year in their company,
residing in the wigwam of their thief,
and fishing an i hunting with the
young warriors. This romantic n
cident in the life of the Sierra song
ster is not generally known; but
when the facts are fully recorded his
admirers will be at no loss to account
for the inspiration which guided his
pen through the mazes of poetic
thought and mournful fancy which
gave birth to "The Last of the Tas
chstas." THE POET'S FIRST LOVE.
Here it was that Miller first felt the
awakening of tbe tender passion, and
here it was that he first aroused into
being the love of one who clung to
h m even unto death. She was a
dark-eyed, raven-haired creature,
with a wealth of love and affection
which f-he lavished upon the adven
turer. Joaquin Miller's treatment of
this poor savage girl reflects but little
credit upon the soul of so intense a
being as he. It finds a parallel in his
subsequent demeanor towards the
fair-haired and more cultured being
w ho bears his name and shares (at a
distance) the glory that is his. The
two incidents confirm the impression
that, after all, poets can do very mean
things in a very practical way.
THE FIRST MEETING.
As the story goes. Miller was at
one lime a stock-herder, or some
thing of the kind, in Siskiyou county.
One day in attending to sonic cattle
in the southern part of the country,
he came across a party of three young j

be his fate, blind with anger and mor-i
-. . aw- 1,- fc.
tification, and suffering intensely from
bis wound. Miller lay upon bis"b!ank-
et the very picture of despair. !
It was w hile he was in this conui-
angel's dream. Miller, in his poem,
draws the following picture of her:
Hard by stood the war chiefs daughter.
Taller thaa the taasele-i corn.
Sweeter thaa tbe kiss of morning.
Sad as aome sweet star of Bern,
Half defiant, half forlorn.
Bebed la skins of striped panther,
LiRinr loosely to the air.
With a fleeting shade of sorrow.
And Mark eye that (aid, beware !
Nestled la a storm of hair.
With her striped robe around ber,
Fasten'd with aa eagle's beak.
Stood she by tbe stately chieftain.
Proud aad pare as Shasta's peak.
Her eye were black, ber face was brown.
Her breast were bare, aad there fell dvwa
Saea wealth of hair, it almost hid
, The two, ia H rich Jetty fold
Which I had sometimes fain foridJ ;
They were richer, fuller far
Thaa any polished braue are.

' PITY TUEX LOVE.
The maiden sawiLe captive and
straightway her heart west out in
sympathy for his sufferings. She at
tended him, drcs.ed his wuuudvand
pleaded with her father for hm safetr.
Her efforts were not in rain. For
dars and days she was unremitting
in her attention and kindness ; in a
month Miller's wound was entirely
healed, and he bethoufdt him of his
future. The tribe through the inter
cession of the girl, offered him a safe
eonduet back to the cattle herds, but
some strange invisible power seemed
to hold him, and weeks went by, find
ing him at their close still a guet of
the Tasehastas. lie knew the girl
loved him wildly, and he knew also
that to leave her would cost him a
bitter pang, so he lingered on, even
against his better judgment
THE PATEBXAL SANCTION.
The old chief watched the progress
of events with a calm serenity and
stoic indifference worthy of a statue.
He gave no hint that a palefaced son-in-law
would be acceptable or d's
tasteful, a fact which Miller viewed
with a great deal of inner satisfaction.
The love of the two ripened rapidly
hers faster than his for in her wild
imaginings she looted upon him as her
God, and worshipped him according
ly. She taught him a dialect by
which they could exchange their
houghts,and give expression to the
heart yearnings which overwhelmed
them." He tauarht her a few snatch-
es of his first love songs, and instruct
ed her in the first rudiments of the
English tongue. He filled her mind
with glowing pictures of civilization,
far beyond the mighty ranges of
snow covered mountains in the East;
and she listened with absorbing inter
est to all he told her of tic great
world, of which she knew so little and
he so much.
THE FOB EST XCPTIALS.
And so the green summer
wore
away ana gave place to golacn au
tumn. Joaquin still lingered in the
hospitable wigwam with no other
thought but to bask in the sunlight of
the Indian maiden's smiles. She had
bewitched him with her artless grace,
and bewildered his reason with the
passionate love she o freely gave
him. As to him, ha was all in all to
her her life, her world, her God.
She I. ad no word for any but the pale

and happiness. And so one day they

THE OLORIOES HONEYMOON.
For the next month there was but
one heaven for Joaquin Miller, and
that was inside of the old chiefs wig
wam. The frost came and the young
warriors made up hunting parties to
go off and secure the winter's supply
of provisions; but Miller relus on
all occasions, to accompany them.
He sat for hours at a tfme gazing in
to the liquid depths of his duskv part-
tisr'a itsv stps and had no inv nn I
happiness, save when in her presence.
The old chief soon became aware of
the t ra in his domestic affairs, but
he seemed to view tbe matter with a
very philosophical sense. He treated
Miller well, and regarded him as af
fectionately as a father could his own
son, although he wondered that the
pale face could so long content him
self away from his home and kindred.
The winter came and went, and still
Miller lingered br the side of his for

THE child OF A poet's love.
a f .a
One night there was a
great com-
motion in the
ibe Old ;
hurried whispers passed between
them, and mysterious ceremonies
seemed to be going on with
in the sacred portals. As the sun
lifted its golden halo above tbe snow
breasted cliff of the Sierras, a plantive
wail grated curiously, nay, perhaps
a little harshly, upon the eager ear of
the pale faced listener without In
another hour an old woman appeared
in the doorway and beckoned to Mil-!
Ier that be might enter. He went in,
anxionsly approached tbe low bed
where lay enwrapped in a fancifully
wrought'blanket the little pink faced,!
black eyed token of hia early passion. ;
TIIE 6EPARATIOX. j
And now Joaquin became still
more desirous of putting an end to
the romance of the past year and re
turn ence more to the scenes of his
former life. His was restless, rov-J
ing, dissatisfied disposition, and the
sentiment of lis passion gone, itj
could no longer brook a hum-drum
existence in the wild borne of ihc for
est :
" His was aa ancomoKs mould of mtn t,
But made fur action, 1U or good ;
Cast la another land and scene.
His reckless, restless will had been
A curse or blessing to his kind.
One day be quietly went up to his
ducky mate and told her be was going
on a visit to his friends in Siskiyou.
Tears stood in her great dark eyes,
as the announcement fell upon her
ears, for something within seemed to
say :
So here my last day has its close,
And here it ends." j
She gazed long and earnestly into
the deep blue eyes before her, but
could get no comfort from them, for
they were as cold as stone, and 89
unimpassioned as the rocky crags be
hind her wigwam. So, with a mute
appeal for mercy, she threw her arms
wildly around him and sobbed as if
her heart would break. But it made
no difference. Miller was determined
to go, and kis-ing her brow, he gent
ly put her away from him, and giving
only one look at bis dusky daughter,
he strode out into the sunlight and
wended his wav towards the North.

Happening to be in Queenstown,
Ireland, one evening in July last, I
was invited to attend a grand balL I
bad been doing some of the interior
districts of Ireland, aad was so tired
that at first I was rather inclined to
excuse myself. But before deciding,
I a.-ked a question or two : "Is it a
big thing f
"Never saw anything so grand in
town!"
'Yhat class of women ?"
"Tbe first class from Queenstown,
Cork in fact, the most beautiful wo
men in tbe world."
I knew how the common women of
Ireland looked. I had seen hundreds
of them about Killarney selling
"mountain dew and goat's milk," and
in fact for some time had seen almost
nothing else. But I had seen the
common class only tbe servants,
pedlars, and peasants. I had not
seen the aristocracy. I made up my
: mind to so. I
thanked tbe gentle-
man, and beiran at once on mr hair
and clothes.
Tbe number of ladies was about
one hundred and fiftr. Their dress
was like that of American ladies
on
similar occasions, only a trifle more
so sleeves a little shorter, corsage a
little lower. Tbe ladies were remark-
part 'klj self-possessed, quiet, and grace
'gj iful, and I tbinkon the whole averaged
prettier than I have ever seen for the
number on such an occasion. ' m ;

I have said there were one hundred

certainly very pretty and very prettily
dressed ; but now, taking the witness
stand, I testify that I have never id
America seen one hundred and fifty
young women together with arms so
small and chests so flat and thin.
They belonged to the idle class, and
all the world over women of tbe idle
class have spindle arms and tbin
chests, unless they become merely fat,
which with their weak muscles- is a

claims that a flying machire is with
in the range of possibility, and is nr-t
discouraged by the many failures ia
this field. His theory is plausible,
ne remarks that when Fultoo bai'.t
the steamboat to run in water he did
not imitate the action of the fish, and
then he expresses the opinion that to
navigate the air is not necessary
to co'uply too closely with
the movements of birds. The flying
bird represents aerial locomotion in
its primitive state. The idea is to
improve npoa this, just as the stcara
engine is aa improvement oa the
power and speed of the horse. Hav

belief that he can travel from the set

height say two and a half miles,
there is a constant current of air
blowing toward the East." By as-.

confident that this strong current will

to the shores of England. He is al-o

Let there be no bogs, no marshes,
no stagnant water in the neighbor-

subject has caused the dath of many
a person. No father or mother should
rest one moment ia peace while their
innocent babes arc sleeping in rooms
over damp and mouldy cellars. Cel
lars should not only be drained, but
thoroughly ventilated, otherwise the
house must be unwholesome.
Let the drains be also constructed
for the conduction of slops and sew

at a distance from the dwelling, to bf
used for fertilizing purposes.
