with this number, to begin another volume of
the LurHeran Pioneer. The work has been
done for the Master, and we know that it

Beneath the Northern pines—
Go where the summer loveth
To dwell mid Southern vines—

Where parting daylight shines,
Where California’s fountains
Sparkle o’er golden mines;
Or seck the lowly dwelling,
The cabin dark and Jone,
