Asking Leave to Toll.

Honored sir,-Hoping that you will be
pleased to pardon the boldness of poor man
who wants TO keep his wife and children,
take up my pen to write. And, honored sir,
hope you will forgive me. if say feel a
little happy that am able to put few words
to paper,-it being sort of comfort to a man,
howsoever poor he may be.
My boIdness, honored sir, is this: 1t is,
under your favor and consideration, to ask of
your kinpness, to let me have an acre Of land:
or if | am too bold in asking a whole acre,
half or quarter of the same. | know that it
may be thought little hig h and daring in me,
to ask for such favor, seeing that your es-
tates are let out in large farms. 1t is, per,
haps, presumption, and-as I've been told
"a sort Of flying in the face of property, for
man who is MT rich enough to farm thousand
acres; who has Mt money for cattle and bone
dust, and all that-to think of having little
slice of land, just to grow few things on for
himself and children, land only being for
them who can have lot of it, or none. New
Iertheiess, sir, hope for your kindness. I've
been all along used to go to church, though
hope may be forgiven for it. have MT been
these two months, seeing that my clothes are
all in such rags that, as one of the church
wardens told me, they were quite disgrace
say used to 60 to church, butt never heard
there whether the Garden of Eden was twen-
! ty thousand acres or not-perhaps the gentle
men who set their faces against small allot-
ments, known it to have been a very large
farm indeed, and so think they have religion
on their side, when they refuse poor man a
little patch for his own spade. | know that ii
was made part of the punishment of sin-a
part of the curse of heaven-tfat man should
eat his bread in the sweat of his face. That
however wicked he may have been, he should
not on his own account be suffered to eat his
bread at all, does seem to me-and my heart
is so full cant hel p saying livery like a
curse coming from the other place. 1suppose
too, they who eat their bread from the sweat
of other people, have never sinned at all.
hope, honored sir. you will forgive these
words; but my pen runs away with me like.
When ask, honored sir, for this bit of land
mean, of course, to pay the very highest
price you can get for it. | know that LAND
let out in little bits is always made TO fe'ct
more than when let by the lump. ms Of
course. the poor must expect. us SO IN d.
things. My wife gives more tor her Dlt O
soap and candle, (when she can BUY IT, more
, for nv bit of 'bacco, than if we could buy
, such things by the pound, like respectable
! peoDle. And it is Mt to be expected that q
, great landlord, even though he may be duke
to boot. will do otherwise than the keeper o
a chambers shop. No sir, though my neigh
. bors say l m bold fellow, and have strang'
nonsense running in my head don't exPec
5 that.
IF people wern't so foolish as to think other
. wiec, there would never have been such

A HINT FOR THE LADIES.
critic of the Broadway Journal, in tho
course of notice Of Mrs. Hugo Reid's.
'Plea for woman" says very pcriin-
ently-or, as the ladies, perhaps, viii!
say, impertncntly:-
at appears TO us that the surest way
for women 10 gain their rights
always supposing that they do not en-
Joy ,hem---is TO train up their children
properly, and they will see that their
mothers suffers no wrong. When wo-
men dissipate their days and nights in
idle amusements and sqnander their
income in dress. while their sons are
entrusted 10 the keeping Of hired ser
wants, or sent away from home 10 dis
,ant schools, they must not blame them
that they have no clearer perception of
what is due 10 woman. Ii is true that
men make laws by which women arc
governed, but the women make tho
men who govern them"

This

part even Of southern Oregon. This
seems scarcely credible, for they can
raise wheat, barley, oats, and even the
most tender garden vegetables in
great portion OF the territory, as we'll
as the finest varieties of apples, pears
and strawberries. The dry chilly
nights in summer, even when the days
are very warm, are represented as the
cause Of its non-adaption TO corn.
In relation to the general aspects OF
the Oregon territory, take as whole,
Mr. Farnham remarks:
"The mineral resources Of Oregon
have not been investigated. Great
quantities of bitominous coal have
however been discovered on Puget's
Sound, and on the Willamette. Salt
springs also abound; and other springs
highly impregnated with sulphur, So
da, iron, &c, are numerous.
"There are many wild fruits in the
territory that would be very desirable
for cultivation in the gardens of the
States. Among these are very large
and delicious str3wberry--the whort-
leberry-and a cranberry growing on
bushes 4 or S feet in height. The crab
apple. choke-cherry, and lhornberry are
common. OF the wild animals there
are the white tailed, black tailed. Jump
ing and moose deer: the elk, red, black
and grey wolf; the black, brown and
grisly bear:the mountain sheep; black,
white, red and mixed foxes; beaver,
lynXes, martin, offers, minks, musk
rats, wolverines, mermot, ermines,
woodrats, and the small curlcd tailed
short cared deg, common among the
Chippeways.
"Of the feathered tribe, there are the
goose, the brant, several kinds ofcranes,
the swan, many varieties of the duck,
hawks Of several kinds, plovers, white
eagles, ravens, crows, vultures, thrush,
gulls, wood-peckers, pheasants, peli-
cans, partridges, grouse, snow-birds.
&c. sc.
In the rivers and lakes are very
superior quality of salmon trout, sar-
dimes, sturgeon, rock cod, the hair seal,
&c., and in the bays and inlets along
the coast, are the sea otter and an in
ferior kind ofoy
Capt. Wilkes, after giving discrip-
ton Of Oregon, its fisheries, me,&c.,
thus sums up his narratives:
"To conclude, few portions Of the
globe, in my opinion, are TO be found
SO rich in soil, so diversified in surface
or SO capable of being rendered the
happy abode ofan industrious and civ
lized community. For beauty Of seem
cry and salubrity of climate, it is not
surpassed. 1t is peculiarly adaped for
an agricultural and pastoral PEG pie, and
no portion OF the world beyond the
tropics, can be found that will yield so
readily with moderate labor, to the
arm Of man." Mr.. Farnham dissents
from this opinion, and holds that Ore
gon is not equal in lis soil or capabli-
ties TO California or the valley Of the
Mississippi. ALBANY Argus.

PETER THE GREAT;
TIE MAINrOP AUDIENCE.

Ir was at Saardam that Peter COM
mcnced his labors as mechanic. He
put himself under the orders of mas
ter work man, associated with the car
pentcrs, lodged with them, and worked
with them, doing his part in the labors
of every description. lie thus acquir-
ed in short time a practical knowl-
edge of the art OF ship-building. He
worked also in the blacksmith's shop,
blew the bellows, and handled the
hammer; he aided III the rope
walks, and gained all necessary infor-
nation respecting the manufacture of
cordage-and passed some of his time
in laboring in the sawmills, where he
became familiar with the art of saving
timber by machinery. He also gained
instruction in the arts of manufacture
ing paper, and working the ductile
metals, &c. When Peter commenced
lis mechanical labors the ship-builders
were not little astonished at finding
the sovereign of mighty Empire vol
UNFAIRLY enrolling himself in the list of
workmcn. They were at first inciin-
ed to treat him with the ceremony and
respect due TO his exalted station
This feeling of reverence, however,
wore of, and they soon feared to re-
gard him rs one Of their own number,
and he was known among them by the
familiar appellation of Peterbas, or
Master Peter.
While at Saardam, the Car caused
snip of sixty guns to be built for him
self, and superintended the work. and
subsequently, sent her to Archangel,
the only seaport which he then pos
sessed in the nol:h-for the city OF st.
Petersburg ne caused to be built, sew
cral years afterwards. He resided a
short time Mt Amsterdam. to gain a
know ledge OF the art Of surgery, and
studied with the celebrated anatomist,
Ruysch, and also received instruction
in medicine, from distinguished ply
slcian Of Amsterdam.
While residing in Holland, Peter
did not neglect the public interests oil
his own country. While handling The
comp and the saw at Saardam, he
was maturing schemes which had a
mighty influence on the destinies Of
Poland, and from his humble work.

pleasantly in the top, the meeting at
the suggestion of Peter, was adjourned
to the cabin-and the descent from the
g bad cminenoe," which they had at
tanned with SO much toll and peril, was
accomplished under the direction of
the Gar, himself, with much less diff
ficulty than they had anticipated.
Peter subsequently visited England
in plain, unpretending way-and re-
sided for time at Deptiord and dcvo-
ted himself 10 the prosecution Of his
studies in the mechanic arts. Here he
became more thoroughly versed in the
theory of ship building-ant soon be.
came great proficient in the art. He
also studied in London, the art Of Ho-
rology, or Of making clocks and watch
es, which had then attained great per-
lection in England. Indeed, during
his visit to Holland and England, a
space oftime not exceeeing two years,
there was hardly any kind Of business
important to the interests Of king
dom, from the casting of cannon, to
the spinning ola thread, which he did
not obtain practical acknowledgement
afterwards attempted, in almost all ca
ses, successfully, to introduce into his
own country.
The subsequent events in the life Of
this extraordinary man-his return to
Russia, his wars with Charles Nil, of
Sweden, his marriage with an obscure
Livonian girl, who afterwards proved
herself in every way, worthy to be the
partner of his throne, his construction
of the city of st. Petersburg, and the
magnificent port Of Cronstadt-the con-
demnation of his son, Alexis Pctrovitz
"a blot upon his character which can
not be cffaced-his various wars, and
victories over the Persian, Turkish, and
other powers-and his death in 1925
at the comparatively carly age offlty-
three years, will be found all faithfully
chrouicled in the biographies of this
eminent monarch.
His name is embalmed in the MEM
cries of the Russians, who regard him,
and Justly, as the beneiactor OF his
country. In the public museum at st.
Pctorsburgh, arc deposited many curl
Gus and interesting articles. which were
