The spring tiRe OF love

Far ioy sprinkles blossoms
And balm in our way;
The sky, earth, and ocean,

And all the bright future

The summer OF love
Ia tho bloom Of the heart,
When hill, grove and valley
Their music lmpart.
And The pure GLOW OF heaven
IL seen in fond eyes,
As lakes show the ralnbow
That's hung In the skies.
The autumn of love
Is the season OF cheer
Life's mild Indian Summer,
The emile Of the year;
Which comes when the golden
Ripe harvest 10 stored,
And Yields Its own blessings
Repose and reward.
The winter Of love
Ii the beam that we win,
While the storm scowls without,
From the sunshine within.
Loves reign is eternal,
The heart Is his throne,
And he has all seasons
OF life for his own.

The HJargon."

On the first page of to-day's paper will
be found dictionary of the "jargon," in
common use amongst the different Indian
tribes Of Oregon, in their intercourse and
business transactions with the whites, and
has become quite familiar to the early set
tiers of the territory, As all immigrants
and new settlers are more or less under the
necessity Of employing Indian service in
one way or another, a publication of the
Seawa " used, has been frequently called
for, and regarded as highly necessary in
facilitating knowledge Of the language.
I'VE are informed the " "jargon" was com
piled and introduced amongst the Indians
many years ago, by trader in the service
Of John Jacob Astor, at Astoria and find.
ing it highly beneficial in facilitating trade,
and harmoniziDg at once the dialects Of the
numerous Indian tribes, ii was subsequently,
adopted BY the Hudson Bay Company, at
their different fOrtS--is now, and long has
been, the common trading language for. all
the Indians tribes Of Oregon, where 9th.
erwise perfect Babel of tongues would NO
cessarily have to be acquired. ,- r.
We are indebted for the manuscript dc
tionary ofthe "jargon," 10 a gentleman
connected with the army. at Fort Stella

ar, and who, we trust, will excuse us for
consulting our convenience in taking the

A steamer on the Sound Certain.


Captain A. b. Cove, of the bark " Sarah

cisco, informs us that he has made arrange
ments for the purchase of a steamer al that
place, Of sufficient size, strength, and pow

next trip. So our citizens, and the public
far and near may expect 10 have the salts

conveyance up and down the Sound early
next spring.
The time has arrived when the naviga-
tion of our magnificent inland sea BY steam
has become most seriously demanded by the
rapid accumulation of business along lis wa
ters, and the consequent necessity Of IN
creasing travel now most imperatively re-
quires an acceleration in the heretofore on
ly available mode.
AS doubtless our new and inviting coun-
try will be thronged with strangers in the
spring, who may desire to make an explo-
ration both by land and water, as hastily
as possible, ii is important for the credit ol
our citizens that their movements be not re-

nor that they be harnssed by an extortion-

q The accession of number of fami-
lies, during the last fall and present winter,
to the little community and settlement in
and around Olympia, is hailed with glad
ness as the precursor Of more favorable
state Of society around US. The past bas
been peculiarly trying TO the "piOneer -
female portion Of our new and sparsely pop
ulated country, whose circle Of society, here.
tofore, has been circumscribed exclusively
by their families-without schools-without
churches, and without any of those social
endearments of community, which was wont
to render happy the scenes Of their former
homes. The scene is fast becoming chang
ed--society is becoming organized, and a
picture of contentment and happiness will
soon be forthcoming There is still room
for few more families in northern Oregon.
