ROGUE RIVER VALLEY, as it is called, Is
composed of the lands lying on Butte, An
telope and Bear, or Stewart Creeks, where
they empty into the river | don't know
how the river came to have its unpleasant
name, and am sure it is not expressive of
the character OF the present population of
the valley. The legislature passed useless
act, substituting "Gold' for Rogue, as the
name of the stream: but, like bad char
acter, the old name is still used, and will
be- The longer diameter of the valley from
the crossing of the Siskiyou mountains to
Table Rock is about twenty-five miles; the
shorter one from Jacksonville to the point
where Butte creek emerges from the noun
talns, is some 20 miles. Along the river
and creeks the land is fertile Between
Jacksonville and Bear Creek the plains also
are remarkably fine, and many places are in
high state of ultivation.-Pacfc Metho-

PARKER's MODE OF PRAYING.-That a man
should pray SO like a saint and preach so
like a hereto and a destructive is one of the
marvels of his orthodox hearers. Yet Mr..
Parkers opinions do not permit him to use
that importunate supplication in which most
Christians place the utility and power OF
prayer. His prayers are rather the express
sion of trust in God, love for his character,
admiration for his works and acquiescence
in his will, than petitions for particular
blessings. He appears to take the Lord s
prayer as his model. He approaches God
not to move Him to bestow, but to take joy
fully what He is already bestowing, and to
utter his confident faith that infinite wis
dom and goodness will still guide the divine
hand in the bestowment of all necessary
good. Hence he never argues the case with
his Creator, or plies Him with motives, as
if He did not already know, and were not
already determined to do for all his creatures
all that infinite love can prompt. Yet lack
ing so many of the elements which give i'm
pressiveness to most pulpit prayers, there
are few prayers uttered anywhere that have
so wonderful power to subdue and elevate
men as those made by Mr.. Parker.-Spring-

BUNKER HILL.-One of the places in Eng
land, just visited by the Hon. R. C. Win
throp, was the old Chapter House of the
Cheshire Cathedral, which is now the library,
and here he saw two standards, somewhat
tattered and torn suspended over the doors.
On inquiry, he was told that they were the
standards of the Cheshire regiment, and that
they were used in America, at certain bat
tie, called Bunker Hill, where it is said only
three of this regiment escaped without injury
of some sort. The keeper said that it was
understood that the Americans got behind
some sort of fence or hedge, where they
could shoot others without being hit them
selves.

AFTER ELEcTEoN.-Everybody appears to
be glad that the election campaign is over,
and none more SO than newspaper editors
and readers Even defeated candidates pre-
fer certain disappointment to the labor and
anxiety of struggle whose result is all un-
certain. Speaking on this topic the Folsom
cypress observes:
awe shall get on pretty well for another
year. Our politicians, may turn to stock
feeding, gold raising, quartz crushing, grape
and sugar growing, fishing and dealing in
fish, quarrying and stone cutting, road mend
ing, carriage building wood chopping, gum
ming, fencing, ploughing, surveying, railroad
making, manufacturing some one thing or
other that will be useful to their country aud
kin; and at which they will earn much bet
ter wages, enjoy more Independent spirit,
and generally become happier, than they
,could If they got the rery places which they
struggle for SO ardently."

ANOTHER sHAKspraRs CosrnovrRsv-

ANOTHER SHAKsPEARE CONTROVERSIAL
new and curious Shaksperan controversy
has arisen. Mr.. Hamilton, of the depart
ment of MSS in the British museum, has
pronounced the ancient folio, from which
John Payne Collier made most of his eman-
dations of Shakespeare, humbug. He un-
dertakes to show that the original correc-
tlons, instead of dating back to Shakspeare's
day, were made in this country, and he
strongly intimates that they are forgeries
written in imitation Of the ancient style.
Mr.. Collier comes to the rescue and reasserts
the antiquity of the notes, and offers to meet
an investigation of the matter in a court of
justice. The question is of some consequence,
as the text of Shakespeare has been exten-
siyely changed in accordance with these now
protested notes.

The women are usually the best support
ers of churches, but here is an instance
where they actually performed manual labor
in building one. The Amador Ledger gives
shis extract from private letter written at
Tucson, Arizona:
"The padre is here, and has had the
church enlarged, and all done without one
cent of dinero. He made every Mexican in
town turn out and do his or her share of
the work From the Oldest women down to
girls of four years old, they all assisted in
the building. The women that were strong
enough, carried adobes from different places
in and around the town, and the girls car
red water to make mortar or rather mud,
which they use in putting up the adobes.
They are now putting up romado in the
plaza, to dance under during the feast of
st. Augustine, which commences day after
tomorrow.

AMERICA RULED BY BoYs.-Jno. S. Hittell
is translating for the Cal. Home Journal an
amusing work, called "The Other World,''
q Frenchwomans picture of American So
ciety. While some of the Gallo Trollope's
views are very extrayagant, absurd and in
correct, others are quite telling and pungent
hits, as witness the following;
"In Congress, in the State Legislatures
in public meetings, and wherever the people
act unitedly, the young men are the majority:
they form the active and emiDently eligible
class; they alone have the andacity and the
ambition to place themselves before the
masses and accept the perilous honor of
leading them. Young men are at the head
of the political associations in every county;
they form clubs, they command the militia,
they harangue the people and they give the
elections the interest and almost the charac-
ter of battle and determine their result.
Everything is done by them, and much fer
them; they fill the councils of the nation,
and give to the national policy that head
long and headstrong character which has
made the American name celebrated and
slightly ridiculous. The inexperience of
these young leaders permits them to follow
and keep up with the impulses of the peo-
pie. Old men would be too prudent; they
could not execute to the ietter and at sight
the constantly changing programme of the
popular will. They would be too slow for
the time they would fala aader the too
swiftly advancing car"
The fair authoress then pays Gne COM
plement to the capacity and achievements
of young men abroad, especially in England,
but thinks that in America it is different:
"When boy can read, write and cipher,
he is sufficiently educated; he is competent
to fill any position. A politician by acci-
dent, he enters an apprentice, into the SER
vice of the State, so young that no lesson
can profit him. Without education, without
plans, without preparation, he believes HIM
self fit for public life by the mere fact of
election, as though talent were not neces-
sary to manage national property, to protect
the interests Of the nation abroad, to stimu-
late home industry, and to provide mar
ket for its products y
Another quotation, showing the writer's
estimate of American go-ahead-atiyeness
may not inaptly be given here:
''IfI could look upon the United States as
a nation, | would say that their people are
wonderful, and must succeed by their fever
ish activity aud their greedy energy, in ma
king a decided step toward absolute pro-
gress. The honor of all the useful inven
tions of the future may safely be given to
the Americans in advance. Other nations
will produce the poets, legislators, and
priests of the coming civilization, but the
Yankees will be it's pioneers. The great
modern epopee will be written in Italy, in
France, or in Germany; but in the United
States will be discovered, if ever, the secret
of perpetual motion"

AFTER THE BALL.

They sat and coinbed their beautiful hair,
Their long, bright tresses one by one;
As they laughed and talked in the chamber there
After the reTel was done.
Idly they talked of waltz and qnadriIle,
Idly they laughed, like other girls
Who over the fire. when all is still,
Comb out their braids and cuTfs.
Robe of satin and Brussels lace,
Knots of flowers and ribbons, too,
Scattered about in every place,
For the revel is through.
And Maud and Madge in robes of white,
The prettiest night-eowns under the sun,
Stookingless. slipperless, sit in the night,
For the reSel is done,-
Sit and comb their beautiful hafr,
Those wonderful waves of brown and gold.
Till the fire is ont in the chamber there,
And the little bare feet are oeid
Then out of the gathering winter chill,
All ont of the bitter st. Agnes weather.
While the fire is out and the house is still,
Maud and Madge together,-
Maud and Madge in robes of white,
The prettiest night gowns under the sun,
Curtained away from the chilly night,
After the Teycl is dole,-
Float along in splendid dream,
To golden gitterns tinking tune,
While thousand ltrstres shimmering stream,
In palaces grand saloon.
Flashing of jewcls and futter of laces,
Tropical odoTs sweeter than musk.
Men and women with beautiful faces
And eyes of tropical dusk,-
And one face shining out like star,
One face haunting the dreams of each,
And one voice, sweeter than others are,
Breaking into svery speech
Telling, through lips of bearded bloom,
An old, old story over again,
As down the royal hammered room.
To the golden gttern's straiR,
Two and two. they dreamiIy walk,
While an unseen spirit walks beside,
And, all unheard in the lovers talk,
He clafmeth one for BRIDE.
Oh. Maud and Madge, dream on together
With never pang of jealous fear
For, ere the bitter st. Agnes weather
Shall whitep another.y year,
Rcbed for the bridal and robed for the tomb,
Braided brown hair, and golden tress,
There'l, be only of you left for the bloom
OF the bearded lips to press
Only one for the bridal pearls.
The robe of satin and Brussels lace
Only enc to blush through her caris
AT the sight of lovers face
Oh, beautiful Madgc. in your bridal white,
For you the revel has just be gun:
But for her who sleeps in your arms Tonight
The reyel of Life is doRe.
But rebed and crowned with your sanity bliss,
Queen of heaven and bride of the sun,
Oh, beautiful Maud. you II never miss
The kisses another hath won.
