It Was the close of *Oregon* day. Vexed
• and wearied with many cares I had seen
my four little ones tucked away in their
clean and comfortable beds, and, seated
in the greatarmchair, which is, my own

Cloudsof darkness were all aroundme; the7,
heavens held no dare, and the Water on
, which 1 sailed Was turbulent and black as
ink. A shadowy form stood at the prow,
_sod with a single oar and steady strokes
propelled me. Amid silence and darkness,
