To Solomon and Mary Ash.
By R. C. Dickson.
You were wed in the spring on a
bright May morn,
While yet your lives were young;
You stand tonight in the soft twilight
The days of your lives nearly done.
For sixty years through storm and
sun.
You have journeyed hand in hand,
And the years of your lives have
swiftly run
Through love's fair summer land.
Side by side through the trials of life
Your hearts both firm and true,
You have borne life's burdens as
husband and wife;
As parents been faithful and loving
too;
Now you wander back through the
mist of years
To the morn when you were wed.
And talk of the joys that crowned
your years,
And the blessings that long have
fled.
Once your eyes were sparking and
bright,
Your limbs were supple and strong.
And you toiled for your loved ones
From morn till night and deemed no
day too long.
But now, alas! you are very old,
Your eyes no longer bright;
Your limbs have lost their suppi'i
mould.
Your hair is silvered wMto.
Your forms are bent with the weight
of years.
You totter as you go,
But your souls are filled with the fires
of youth,
Your hearts with love aglow.

recently dug, in the White Salmon
valley, which measured five feet and
ten inchs from the crown to the end
of the taproot. If a rport of tnis kind

Nothing Remarkable.
The Caldwell News in its last issue
goes out of its way to belie the
churches and all religion, in speaking
of J. G. Turner, the absconding jewel
er. It seems that a great many peo
ple take a special delight in attempt
ing to place odium on a church when
a member goes wrong. This may be
because so few of them ever do any
thing criminal. The fact that a mem
ber of the Methodist choir happened
to become mixed up in difficulty is no
reflection upon that organization or
any member. In the case of Mr. Tur
ner, however, the facts are distorted
to make a case. Mr. Turner was not
a "pillar of the church," he was not
even a member of that church or any
other. Ile did not pretend to be. He
was simply singing in the choir and
was being paid so much per month for
his services. But the spirit exhibited
is one that does not commend itself
to a charitable mind. The members
of the Methodist church are not per
fect, and we think they do not pretend
to be. That one of them did step aside
would interest no one except he be
of an envious or malignant mind.
