The ORIGIN OF THE WEEPING WILLOW
The Arabian legend of the origin OF the weep
ing willow is curious, but contains, like most
traditions. an anachronism, ii we accept the
willows OF Babylon as the weeping willow, but
the Arabians are much better rdc0nteurs than
botanists: SO it will not DO to apply too severe
a scientific test to their accuracy. The legend
runs that after David had married Bathsheba
be was one day playing on his harp in his pri-
vae chamber, when be found two strangers
opposite to hin, although he had given strict
orders that no one should intrude upon his pri-
vacy. These strangers were angels who con
victed him OF his crime in nearly the same
manner as is related 10 holy writ. David then
recognized in the strangers the angels of the
Lord, and was sensible o. the Nervousness of
his offence. Forthwith he threw himself on
the floor and shed tears of bitter repentance :;
there be lay upon his face for forty days and
forty nights, weeping and trembling before the
Judgment of the Lord As many tears Of re-
pentance as the whole human race have shed
and will shed on account of their sus from the
time of David till the judgment day, 50 many
did David weep in those forty days, all the
while moaning forth penitential psalms. The
tears from his eyes formed two streams which
ran from the closet into the ante room and
thence into the garden. Where they sank into
the ground, there sprang up two trees. the
weeping willow and The fraukinceuse tree the
first weeps and moGns and the second incess-
auty sheds big tears in memory of the sincere
repentance OF David.

The Future of Oroville.

EDITOR UNION RECORD There is hardly
d person who on taking calm survey of the
prospects Of this place but will admit that
OroviIle has a bright future before 1.-THE
prospects we're never better than at the present.
Roads are now being opened and worked to
concentrate the travel to and from this place
to all the mining localities north and east Of
here. Strangers are moving 10 with their
families, and are locating permanently. The
vacant houses are fast filing up. and venture
TO predict that six months from to day there
viii not be house to let in Oroville.. And
why is this? Because any one with half an
eye to business can see at glance that Orc
vile has advantages which but few other
towns north of Sacramento City possess -be-
ing the terminus OF the Northern California
Railroad. When once the connecting link is
made at Marysville, land the iron for that pur
pose is now all ahoat and an early completion
is shure), oroyille is at an early day destined
to be the great depot of supplies for all the
country north and east Of here.
Oregon, that has heretofore enjoyed uninter-
rupted the greatest trade that has sprung up
by the opening of the Idaho country, has al
ready begun to show signs of jealousy for fear
that the northern towns OF California will
wrench from their grasp that very important
trade. And well they may fear as we have
truly every advantage. not only as regards dis
tance, but as TO facilities in every respect /;
and it now only requires that our wholesale
houses in the different branches Of trade will
hold out inducements by furnishing goods at
the lowest possible rates, so that the trade will
concentrate here rather than find its way to
the larger towns 10 the interior. We have al
ready large grocery and hardware stores which
are doing thriving and prosperous business; !;
besides Touring mill running night and day,
turning out a brand of -four that is second to
none in the State. Also, machine shops that
are able TO furnish anything from single cog
wheel TO steam engine on short notice and
at fair prices, and there is room for other and
various kinds of business which can be made
al once lucrative to The proprietors.
And would here add one word by way Of
P. S. that there have been frequent appro
priations made by the Supervisors for the va
rious roads in the county. where they have in
their Judgment deemed the same necessary.
Now let there be a reasonable appropriation
made for the improvement Of the road lead
ing from Bidwels Bar ria the Mountain
House to the Plumas county line, the same to
be laid out by the road overseef of that dis
trict; and my word for it, that when old
Rusty johnson starts out with bis band Of
Diggers. be will do more work with less money
than any otheEman in the county could pos
sibly do, and There is no road in the county
that so much needs work done on it as this
main thoroughfare does at this time. Now is
the time to act. and instead of crying dull
times, sickly location aad all Of this kind of
nonsense, let US put our shoulders to the wheel
and the thing is o success. More anon. G.
