HILLSBORO

USECTARIAN.

President Marsh of Pacific Uni-

versity made an announcement fromthe pulpit in the Methodist churchat this place two Sabbath s sincewhich surprised and pleased many.He declared for the policy adoptedby a convention of Presbyterians andCongregationalists last year in theEast that in town t too small ibr thesupport of two churches that the twodenominations should unite, the de-

nomination having the start in anytown or place to receive the supportof both. But the Doctor took evenbroader and less sectarian groundthan than that Convention. He fav-

ored the.support of any one of theevangelical chuiches by all thechristians of tne place where twochurches would burden the commu-nity and starve the minister. Hedid not believe it honorable for thepeople in this country where wealthis so evenly distributed anil everybody in good circumstances, to askior funds from the East donated bywidows and orphans to support ourministers. But where we divide upthe christian people into t o orthree churches in every little townthey instinctively look somewhereelse for a part of the means for thesupport of their minister. He didnot advise the Congregationalists atHillsboro to unite with the Methodist church. He only expressed hisown individual opinion. He be-

lieved that all the churches werecoming to the acceptance of Christfor their Savior as the common ba-

sis of their faith and fellowship. Hewas done with sectarianism. Hehoped he would never think of suchsmall ness any more. He neverwould preach again to a denomina-tion, but to the people, and forChrist. '

Our Itemizers- -

The Independent has alreadygained an efficient corps of itemizersin this county, and who gather usthe news in their neighborhoods be-

cause they are alive and active andtake an interest in their county pa-

per and the progress of their ownhome institutions. Our correspon-- tdents atJBeaverton, Middleton.Glen-cce- .

The Grove, Dilley, Gaston.Cor-neliu- s,

all have our heartfelt thanksfor their help.

Few men have the talent for gath-ering the neighborhood news andpicking the wheat out of the chaiTand straw and sending tlo e'e xn

grains to the newspaper grisf-mil- l.

And fewer still is the number wh.can write out thft items afer theyhave gathered them, in a brief,pointed and compact style. Ofcourse news items should not be barebones; they need some of the tleshof hnmor and wit upon them to makethem palatable.

Now we have gained these itemi-zers and we do not intend to letthem go if we can help it.

We are also under obligations toall of our contributors for their pro-ductions and ask a continuance oftheir favor.

There is one clnss of people how-ever whose communication we in-

vite the farmers. Our columnsare open to this class for the discus-sion of matters pertaining to theirwork and interests.

Good for the State Not so "floodfor tlie County.

Sheriff Tozier, in collecting taxesfor this county finds that several es-

tates have been doubly assessed.Now the county will be considerablyloser by this. For every double as-

sessment, the State collects a doubletax off of ths county while the lattercan collect tax on only ope assesss-taen- t.

These double assessmentsarise fr.wn the sal of property inethe

. county to parties who settle uponthe same, by non-residen- ts, and

., the

& a W m

Assessor, not Knowing mat anytransfer has boen made, assesres theproperty twice, nrst on tne premises when he is making his rounds.and then from the books containing

, a list of non-residen- ts to whom theproperty was assessed the previousTear. Sheriff Tozier has found aar

way by which to avoid - these vexatious double assessments, and that

, ! bv indicating anr transfers ofproperty made by non-residen- ts, onthe books where their names occur.

fore tneGods of time wrote here their hieroglyphs andScrawled upon these seamed and tjf lint red

crags.The tally-scor- es of years in haste to pass.Aeons and aeons ground to dust, blinding'The road we came! Thou, O, many-voice- d

ColumHa. seem'st of a later birth.No echoes mad'st ikon here when light trst

rentThe vail of earth. Yet dare we call thee

young.Or lay our hands upon the age which broughtThee forth? The greedy sum of years tkat

manHas flung aside, would like a pebble sinkWithin thy depths and there remain.Time, slumbering harily amid theDim monotony of primal times leapedTo his feet when first thy flood began itsCourse. 4 k L walks m'lYh stride

where thenReclined.

Unfold thy memories,River; remembrances imprisoned inThy voice, and in thy noiseless breath, and

inThy restless haste, awaiting but the soulTo call them forth. Is not thy heary thrillResounding on these hoary walls as oldAs they? Dost thou not chant the songs of

otherTunes, and smite the harp-strin- gs tuned ten

thousandYears ago? Thus sang thy waves when tentedTribes were wandering along thin? earlierBounds, and in thy present tone we catch theHum of feet, the click of horses' hoofs, theFlap of tents blown by the wind. Still sang

thyWaves the same slow monotone when un-

knownKings were warring here for brief dominion ;

Victors and vanquished thus have foughtand died

While as a drop of amber folds some insectIn a crystal tomb, dost thou preserve forUs the burden of their song. One chord, mostSolemn of them all, was snatched by thee

fromSolitude: for when the uncouth mastodonsTh;it slaked their thirst along thy tribuiftryStreams, and all the monsters which of old

heldBrutal sway, had strewn their skeletons

aboutThe hills, when man, the last, the proudest,

andMost brief, had dwindled down to nothing-

ness,The Thought that brought thee forth ruled

over theeAlone, and charged thy waves with thoughts

of llim.

Oh, what floods ofsound, what rainbow h'-ies- ,

whatHeights, immeasurable, what gleaming

snows,Sights, sounds and sense are all commingled

here !

How the sea-win- d shrieks throufh the nar-row pass.

Reverberating on the naked bluffs!The lost wail of centuries seeking boundAnd finding none

The glinting light ofSun or moon that shot past rugged battle

mentsAnd then was treasured in the flood, nowRises up again to drape the dizzyHeights. Snow, mountains, darkness, and

the fallingStreams are but remembrances of olderDays. W only blot the dream. Or do theHills and waters know their ags? the moon

andStars know theirs? Does nature read her

calendarsHerself? In these unfolded memories.We ever find our own. For what containsThe past but prophecies to come? Is notThe past itself the future's memory?

Tell us, river, ifThou hast not been the worshpped deityOf some unstoried race. For men ascendBy steps frem god to god, and thou perhapsHast had thy turn, though superseded now,The god ef sight and beauty, first, and thenThe god of love and thought.

The warr'y Moloch thou hast been of manyA sacrifice. To propitiate thyWrath, mothers have fed thee on the livts -

Intrusted to thy care : maidens and theNoblest youths, adorned with flower and

deckedIn sacrificial lovliness, have beenConsecrated to thy hand, and hushed onThy oozy bed still wait thy pard'ning voice,As others wait in vain the voice of otherGods.

The pageant of the pastFades out again, while life adjusts his loadAnd stumbles on. We leap the interveningGap of years and find ourselves still livingWhere we were. And yet we still have doubleSight, and when the river sobs and moans inVaried tones, and when the dusk obscures theRagged edges of these rock-castl- es ofMaiestie height, we see them crowned anewwith citadels, with huts and lonely tents,And the steamboat on the rocking tide fadesInto some fantastic semblance to our dream.
