She searched his pockets, opened his letters,
put his letters and papers into the hands of his
enemies, in hopes that they might be made use

High Prices fn Oregon.

The Washington Republic says letter re-

gon keep the prices of everything up to thoso

the letter, Offering 50 per bushel for wheat
and for flour the price was SIG per barrel for
oats $1.25 per bushel for hams 373 cents per
pound Labor of all kinds was high and scarce,
and the deputy surveyor were paying from 10
to 800 per month for each man they employed.
Goods, the letter says, are higher in Oregon than
in California, as most Of the merchants in the
latter; and the cost Of living in the Atlantic
States, it is thought, is only about one-third OF
what it is in Oregon ami California.

rk,ev her in her childhood's time, when bles-
sings round her clung,
Aud her baptismal innocence a halo Ger her
flung,
F.. the wild worlds deep traitor, sin had drawn
her in its guile,
And Heaven had sent glory down to dwell with
in her smile.
Oh she was fair Ia never seen tEihS OF
With iovous brow, and dove-like eyes, and waves
of shining hair,
No wonder, for her little heart, with trusting
footsteps trod,
Beneath the Holy Virgins smile, the path that
led to God
Child az she was, the stricken ones of earth had
called her blest
And bv the bedside of the poor, she was an
angel guest,
And when unto her undimmed faith, the bread
of life was given,
Upsullied tears gushed from her heart, that
mirht have flowed in Heaven.
But years rolled on-the child OF wealth must
fill her station now
The fathers pride, the mothers hopes, ut by
ambitious glow
Sent forth the Il bling, sinless one, to brave
the snares of earth,
When all her sweet affections clung around the
household hearth
The hair that once was flowing free, in shining
curl,
They braided up with glistening gems, and beads
of costly pearl,
They wrapped her in the richestrobes, and deck
ed with diamonds rare,
The gentle hands, that she for years, had lifted
up in prayer
,q,g her hel-The world had claimed her
young hearts solemn VOW,
And bade her kneel before its shrine, and to its
idols bow,
And lifted up on high with songs its fantasies
of light,
And laid fair garlands at her feet, that made
her pathway bright.
She trembled when those lute-like tones, came
with their magic swell,
And Wove around her spirits dream, a deep me-
lodious spell
The tempters breath is on her cheek,-it flush
es on her brow
Oh maiden taste not of the cup, that he would
give thee now.
But lingering STILL she hears fond tales, ofearth's
enchanting lore,
Which tell her that storms disturb, the sun
light of it's shore,
She smiles then wanders off to seek, amid
lifes desert maze
The fantasy, that charmed her heart with such
alluring rays.
Alas her brow is crowned with light but, not
the light of Heaven
Oh one by one, those ties of love, are by the
cold world riven
They melt like snow fakes ON the waves, of
some dark turbid stream,
And contrite tears are like the thoughts, of some
remembered dream.
Ipity thee, thou erring one and fain would
have thee 60

''There is singular specimen of humanity here

and trots it away to the place of burial. Thus
