His heart was open as the day, IJis feelings all were true ; His hair was some inclined to gray, He wore it in a queue.
Whene'er he heard the voice of pain Jis beatt with pity burned ; The large round head upon his care From ivory was turned.
Kind words he ever had for all, He knew no base design ; ITis eyes were dark and rather small, His nose way aquiline.

Ife lived at peace with all mankind, In friendship he was true ; His coat had pocket boles behind His pantaloons were blue.
Unharmed, the sin which earth pollutes He passed securely oe'r,
And never wore a pair of boots, For thirty years or morc.
But good old Grimes is now at rest, Nor fears misfortune's frown ; He wore a double breasted vest ; The stripe ran up and down.
He modest merit sought to find, And pay it its desert. He had no malice iu his mind, No ruffles on his »birt.
Was sociable and gay ; He wore large buckles on his shoes, And changed them every day.
Ilis knowledge hid from public gaze, He did not bring to view ; Nor make a noise on meeting day, As many people do.
His worldly goods he never threw In trust to fortune's chances ; But lived (as all his brothers do) In easy circumstances.
Thus undisturbed by anxious cares, His peaceful moments ran ; And everybody said he was A fine old gentleman.

age, was mmried to an Indian called Cushen. In 1803, they moved to the head waters of Rattlesnake creek, on the Hast and North Forks, forming a flatiron or triangle on the East Fork. He built his cabin, and during that year his wife gave · birth to twins, one boy and one girl ; remarkable to say, the boy was a pure Indian, and the girl was pure white -- a model beauty, who became the wife, when thirteen years old. of Col. Ezekial Zane. This place, noted in history, may truly be called classic ground. Here is the spot where Captain John. Indian Chief, committed the cruel and savage tragedy upon his only boy, by cutting him in two equal parts, throwing one part to his wife, saying . Leave my cabin, or I will serve you in the same way. The author, in company with Major Kowah. visited this noted place, on Sunday, the 228 of October, 1871.
JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP.
Say. shall the rough woodland pioneer, Of Payette's wide extended plain
Ulsim no just tribute of our love and tears. And their names vanish with the passing gale?
With veteran arms the forest they subdued; With veteran arts saldaed the savage foe: Our country's purchase with their valiant blood Claims for them all that ; ratitude can do.
Their arduous labors gave us wealth and ease;
Fair Freedom followed from thier doubtful atrite; Their well aimed measures gave ne fasting peace And all the social blessedness of life.
Then let their offspring, mindful of their claims, Cherish their honors in the lyric Jand ! O, save from dark oblivion's gloomy reign The brave, the worthy fathers of our land.
