on foreign Lumber entering Am,ricaa ports
is % per cent. ind it We place the aver
age cost per 1000 feet Of to'Onial lumber
at $40. the duty vii amount TO just the
"stumpagv" which the American lumber
pays. 1t therefore follows that our lum-
Der can be laid down at San Francisco at
the same rate as American lumber: and as
the quality of the former is far superior to
the latter, and as it always commands
higher price, the induce men's offered for
establishment of mills in British Terrific
ry is great and the profits certain. For
few months, or until the stock of lumber on
hand at the Puget Sound mills has been
exhausted, the effects Of the new tax will
not be felt; but soon thereafter these Col
onies will find what they have never before
enjoyed, an opportunity 10 introduce into
foreign markets the best quality Of lum-
Der that the world can produce. Let our
business men look to this.
The above article we copy entire from
the Victoria Chronicle of late date. to
show how true were the predictions made
in our paper Of Dec. I'd, 1865, in regard
to the exorbitant rates Of "stumpage"
lately fixed by the Government upon all
lumber manufactured upon tie Sound.
We stated then that The effects of this in.
judicous policy would soon be apparent
il the stagnation of business upon the
Sound and that it would lie virtual pro-
hibi'i m to further enterprise. We bell, We
all will admit that our surmscs are amply
proven to have been founded npon cor.
rect view Of the matter. We now fud

seize upon the opportunity presented by
the strict observance of an old law never
intended to apply here, nor at all Of late
years. What can be more sweeping than
the words above used" This law if COL
tinued in force for year will deal DEATH
blow TO all the small and some of the large
mills on Puget Sound:" We again urge
our Delegate TO give this matter his early
attention, and see that redress is at once
obtained. We reitcrate the fact, if foreign
capitalists, by delay Of Congress to act
in this matter, obtain foothold upon the
great trade of the world in lumber and
spars. the loss TO the United States will be
irreparable.

mense quantities of timber floating in the
straits. supposed to be the debris of land
slide in the vicinity. 1t appears, howev-
er, from information subsequently, fur
nshed the Chronicle, that the phenomenon
is thus explained: A rise in the Dunge-
ness river caused it to overflow its banks,
cnt new channel through Bagley's farm,
washed away the clearinghouse and oarns,
with all the furniture, potatoes, apples,
oats, hay. &C., uprooted great trees, and
did incalculable damage to surrounding

described as the heaviest ever experienced
by the settlers in that locality.

The Chicago papers tell a
long story pertinent to a divoce
suit now pending. 1t seems
that Rev. Hart L. Steward a
young clergyman, loved and
married with the consent ofall
her friends % young lady whom
he had known as schoolmate,
daughter of Washington Smith,
a merchant of that city. After
the marriage his father-in-law
desired the young clergyman
to leave the ministry and en-
gage In business. He declined.
Under parental influences the
love that had been fresh since
childhood in the woman's heart
waned and turned TO aversion.
She deserted her husband, he
came East, specialized, became
rich and returned to Chicargo,
making a final, unsuccessful
effort to re-establish a home.
Remaining in that city, he lived
at a boarding house disconso-
lately. Detectives were placed
upon his track to hunt up evi-
dence against him. A charm
ing widow was used as adecoy,
and at length, after many fail
ures, she succeeded in enticing
him into a questionable situa-
ton, gave the alarm, and the
detectives rushed in. Now the
wife sues for a divorce.

II died q wretched sinner;
and leave to the world a worth
less reputation, a wicked exam
pie and a memory that is only
fit to perish.
| leave to my parents sorrow
and bitterness of soul all the
days of their lives.
/ leave to my brothers and
sisters shame and grief, and re-
preach of'their acquaintance.
| leave to my wife a widow
ed and broken heart, and a life
of struggling with want and
suffering.
I leave omy children a faint
ed name, a ruined position, a
Ipitiful ignorance, and the NOR
tifying recollection ola farther
who, by his life, disgraced hui
manity, and at his premature
death joined the great company
Of those who are never to enter
the kingdom of God.

Religion is Wilderness, not
mutilation it is life, and not
death; it is service with every
limb of the body, every faculty
of this spirit ; we are not to
take the world on halves with
God, or on seventies, giving
him only the lesser fraction and
taking the larger ourselves; it
is to spread Overland consecrate
the whole life, and make it di-
vine.-Theodore Parker.

SAD AND BEAUTIFUL.-Ex-
Gov. Vance, of South Carolina,
in q recent. address before the
literary societies of the North
Carolina University, spoke as
follows:
NO monuments of victory are
for Us, no national jubilee can
we celebrate, no song of tri-
umph can our maidens sing, OF
garlands of glory weave; there
is no welcoming of returning
conquerors nor erecting of tri-
umphal arches for us, to console
us for our great suffering. We
are all alone with our great
defeat and that heavy sorrow
which, never fitting still is sit
ting in our household; and all
that we have left for our com.
fort is the sad yet tender light
which plays around the mem
DRY of those who died to make
it otherwise"

As the bosom of earth blooms
again and again having buried
out of sight the dead leaves of
autumn and loosed the frosty
bands of winter, so does the
heart, in spite ofall that melan-
choly poets write, feel many
renewed springs and summers.

a skeptie thinks it very ex-
traordinary that an ass once
talked a man. Isn't it more
extraordinary that thousands of
men are continually talking
like asses /?
