have become important commercial points.
Settlements and fourishing farms are now
seen around on every side, from Cowltz to

Assurcdly, therefore, the natural advan-

change succeed change, until even its great

Surveys in Northern Oregon.

From a recent examination Of skeleton
map issued from the oilice of the Surveyor
General, we arc gratifed to perceive that
at least one party will be in the field in
Northern Oregon during the next year.
The townships indicated by this map, as
those proposed to be surveyed north of the
Columbia in 1853, are four in range l cast,
commencing at Fort Vancouver, and the
corresponding fractional townships in range
? west. Then beginning miles above the
mouth of the Cowlitz, four townships in
each of the ranges and 3 west are TO be
surveyed. This brings us six miles north Of
the Cowlitz farms the surveys are again
to be taken up at the 4th standard parallel,
in the small Butte prairie, and 10 embrace
two townships west and one east oil the me-
ridian, with the fractional townships as far
north as Steilacoom. 1t may be well 10 OBJ
serve, that the meridian line runs about six
miles east of Olympia, and four miles west
Of Nisqually We repeat that we are graft
fed, and we arc sure our readers are at the
information, but we cherish the hope that
the Surveyor General will be enabled 10 in
clude the Chickceles settlement along, and
for one range of townships west Of the me-
ridiau, in his proposed surveys for 1858,
for, though that section of our county is
not marked for survey, we can assure him
of its being eminently entitled to early at
tention.

MEssRs. EDIToRs-I am much pleased
with an article in the Columbian of last
week in relation to the policy pursued by
" mlsteIs Of vessels > trading in the Sound,
and would suggest, as a fair way Of doing
JEdness, that the laboringmen on the Sound
who are engaged in the lumber, pile, and
square timber business, should also be de-
cidedly sharp and shrewd " in their dealings
with them, so that the profits Of the business
be little more equally divided among U.s.
for, when we get piles for cents per foot
that are worth from 80 to rs cents, we do
not get our share, and this shippers know.
1t is like the old story of the Indian and
white man who went Oh hunting excursion
together. II so turned out that an owl and
a turkey was all that was killed, and the In.
dian let the white man divide the game, he
(the lndian) taking his choice. So the
white man said he would take the turkey and
give the Indian the owl, or the Indian might
take the owl and he would take the turkey.
60 Ough " said the Indian, "you no talk
turkey TO me once" So conceive it to
be in the present system of shipping carried
on in the Sound. Let the laboring man
look well 10 his own interest. Every thing
is on the rise--let not labor be behind.

Deceiying Children.

On a certain occasion a physician was
called to visit rich boy about twelve
years of age. As he entered the house,
the mother took him aside and told him
she could not get her boy to take any
medicine unless she deceived him.
" ell, then said the doctor, ! shall
not give him any. He is old enough TO
be reasoned with. l will have nothing to
do with deceivng child lest help him TO
become a man thai will deceive his fellow
men, and finally deceive himself, and be
lost forever,
lie went TO the boy, and after eXamin-
ing his condition, said to him:
My little man YOU are very sick, and
YOU must take some medicine. 1t will
taste bad and make YOU feel bad for a
while, and then, expect, it will make you
feel better
The doctor prepared the medicine. and
the boy took it at once, and without the
least resistance. He said also he would
take anything from his mother which the
physician prescribed, bat would not take
anything else from her, for she had so of
ten deceived him, and told him it was
good when she had given him medicine,
that he would not trust to anything she
said. But he saw at once that the doctor
was telling the truth and when he took
the bitter draught he knew just what to
expect.
Is not honesty with children, as well as
others, and in all circumstances, the best
policy? How can parents hope to gam
anything in the long run by deceiving
their children

The Rival Painters.
A TALE OF ROME.

Farewell, my son; 60 trustingly for
ward, carve thine own fortune by untlrlng
effort, and it will be doubly enriched by
the memory of those years of patient toll
that gained so much happiness for thee.
The world is bright and beautiful to a
young heart, but its light and loveliness
pass away. Set not, therefore, too great
value upon its riches. Walk calmly in
the quiet path that leads to thy duty. en-
wing none, hating none, loving all, and a
purer and more lasting JOY will be thine
than the praise and homage fiatterlng
world can give thee. Fear nothing but
sin and temptation; follow only the die
tates of thy innocent heart. Be faithful
TO thy friends, forgiving to thine enemies,
true to thyself, and earnest III thy love to
God, and with mothers blessing on thy
head, fare thee WELL
And with nothing but deep love Tor
his beautiful art, and heart filled with
pure and lovely feelings, Guido, young
Florentine painter, left his quiet home for
the great city of Rome, where all his
hopes and desires were centered.
Nothing could stay or turn him aside,
while his mothers words fingered in his
ear. No harm could fall on a head made
sacred by her blessing, and no evil enter a
heart filled with such holy love.
And SO, mid all the allurements OF a
luxurious city, he passed unharmed, and
!abored steadily on til he won his way

Watch him with a fond devotion,

Would have cheered him on his way,
And he would have nobly risen
From opprcssion's heavy sway.
Let us strive 10 do our duty

For they all alike have feelings
That are tender, good and true.
