The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1867-04-20

The PUBLIC SoUARE.-Linn county has
one Of the best Court Houses in 0regon-we
are not ure but we might add in California
also. II is an rnament to Albany and re-
fleets honor on the county. We understand
that the lots Immediately in front of the
Court House have been reserved by the own
er ;-that he refuses to dispose of them until
the county has had an opportunity to buy
them. We suggest that our County Com.
missioners, at their next session, examine
into this matter, and if they can be pur-
chased, at fair rates, to secure them imme.
diately. Then, we should have the founda-
ton for n beautiful and c~ommodious public
square or plaza. Whether the purchase be
made or not, we think it highly important
that the public square be enclosed with a
good, neat and substantial fence and the
ground should be plowed up and sowed to
some sort Of good grass. Various kinds Of
trees should also be set out all over the
grounds, in an irregular manne thus Civ.
ing it, in time, the appearance of a small
forest. This, and perhaps, a portion Of 9TH
er expenses incident to enclosing and beau.
tifying the square, might properly and Just
" be borne by the city of Albany; because,
it will be more particularly and directly
benefited by the proposed improvements,
than any other portion Of the county.

The WHEAT CRoP.-Wc have recently
conversed with several intelligent farmers
about the prospects of the wheat crop in
this section Of Oregon. They all concur in
the opinion that, last fall, there was not as
much fall wheat sown by about one.half as
has been usual but that what was sown is
doing well. Hundreds and thousands of
acres, however, of Sonora, Club and Sawyer
wheat have either been sowed, or will be
sowed this spring. Some of the spring
wheat is already up and looks exceedingly
well, and is growing thrifty.

THE TIGERS LEAP.

The American ship Cremona was on
the eve of leaving Calcutta on her
homeward-bound passage. The star
board anchor hung at the cat-head, and
the other was already a peak-the sails
hung in graceful festoons from the clew
lines and bluntlines, the studding gear
was all rugged, the topsail halyards
We're cleared ready for running, and all
that the good ship waited for was the
presence of Mr. Bowditch, the owner,
who was going home in her,
At length Mr.. Bowditch came, ac-
companied by his daughter Mary, a lit
tie girl of some thirteen years of age,
and two Malay servants. Most of the
luggage had been on board several days,
but on the present occasion he brought
off huge box which he desired to have
very carefully taken over the side, and
after all was safe and snug, and the old
ship fairly under headway, the men
learned that the great box contained no
more nor less than a large Bengal tiger.
At any time the immediate neighbor-
hood of the Royal Tiger wears an atmos-
phere anything but pleasant, but when
the neighborhood is bounded by the
narrow commences of shipboard, it is
reasonable to suppose that some anxiety
at least, may be exercised on the occa-
sion. Some of the sailors on board the
Cremona were rather inclined to super
stition-not more so, perhaps, than the
common run of sailors-and under the
peculiar circumstances of the present
case, they found plenty of food for
superstitious dread; but then the thing
was done, and it couldn't be undone-
the tiger was on board, and they con-
cluded that they must make the best
of it.
One man in particular, by the name
of White, who belonged to Connecticut,
experienced the utmost dread of the
forest tyrant, and no assurances on the
part of those who felt perfectly secure,
could set his mind at ease.
The cage was in the hold, directly
beneath the main hatchway, and ever
and anon, as the deep savage, growl of
the Royal Bengal came up like the
rumbling of an earthquake from the
bowels of the ship, White would start
back from his occupation, whatever it
might be, and tremblingly stand, like
one thunderstruck, till the noise ceased.
Not many weeks before, poor White

Without him. if try;
He thought to frighten me with frowns
So terrible and black
He'll stay away thousand years

He said that l had acted wrong,
And foolishly beside;

If was wrong, what right had he
To be so cross with me:

I don't pretend to be.
He had another sweetheart once,
And now when we fall out,
He always says she was not so cross,
And that she didn't pout.
It's enough to vex saint
It's more than l can bear
l wish that girl of his was
Well. l don't care where.
He thinks that she was pretty, too
Was beautiful as good;
wonder if she'd get him back
Again, now, if she coulds
know she would, and there she is
She lives almost in sight;
And now it's almost nine o'clock
Perhaps he's there tonight.
I'd almost write to him to come
But then I've said 1 wont;
do not care so much. but she
Shan't have him if 1 don't.
Besides, l know that was wrong,
And he was in the right;
l guess I'll tell him so-and then
1 wish he'd come tonight.

SUBJUGATED MEN-In no place in
the world, says the Virginia Enterprise
can we find more men who have given
up to float with the current of life's
stream than on the Pacific coast-men
subjugated by the times. Here is one
leaning listlessly against an awning
post; you can see at a glance that he is
subjugated-the paws of the "tiger"
are on him, and he has long since ceas-
ed to struggle to regain his freedom.
Near him lounges another subjugated
individual whisky was too heavy for
him and got him down. Stocks have
subjugated others, and other things

posed of the utterly squelched. All at
first entered briskly into the race for
fame and wealth, but they have ceased
looking beyond the present day ; they
have no thoughts of riches; they knock

LOST LIGHT.
BY FLORENCE PERCY.

My heart is chilled, my pulse is slow.
But often and often will memory go,
Like blind child lost in a waste of snow,
Back to the days when 1 loved you so,
The beautiful long ago.
l sit here. dreaming them through and thro',
The blissful moments I shared with you
The sweet, sweet days when our love was
new,
When I was trustful and you were true
Beautiful days, but few.
Blest or wretched, fettered or free,
Why should l care how your life may be,
Or whether you wander by land or sea,
l only know you are dead to me,
Ever and hopelessly.
Oh how often at days decline,
pushed from my window the curtaining
To see from your lattice the lampGgh,
shine;
Type of message that, half divine,
Flashed from your heart to mine.
Once more the starlight is silvering all,
Inc roses steep Oy the garden wall,
The night bird MARBLES his madrigal,
And hear again through the sweet air fall
The evening bugle call.
But summers will vanish, and years will wane
And bring no light to your window-pane
Nor gracious sunshine, nor patient rain,
Can bring dead love back to life again
l call up the past in vain.
My heart is heavy, my heart is old,
And that proves dross which I counted gold
watch no longer your curtains fold,
The window is dark and the night is cold,
And the story forever told

'YoUNG MAN, YOU'RE WANTED
Under the above heading lady writes
as follows:
A woman wants you. Don't forget
her. No matter you are poor. Don't
wait to be rich; if you do, ten to one if
you are fit to be married. Marry while
you are young, and struggle up together.
But mark, young man, the woman
don't want you if she is to divide her
affections with cigar, spittoon or
whisky jug. Neither does she want
you if you don't take care of her, and
the "little after Thoughts" which are
pretty sure to follow. Neither does she
want you simply because you are man,
the definition of which is too apt to be
an animal that wears bifurcated garm-
ents on his lower limbs, quarter Sec
ton of stovepipe on his head, swears
like pirate, and is giveh to filthy
habits generally. She wants you for
companion, helpmate-she wants you
to have learned to regulate your appetite
and passions; in short, the image of
God, not in the likeness of beast II
you are strong in good purpose, firm
in resistance to evil, pure in thought
and action, as you require her to be, and
without which inward purity neither of
you are fit for husband and wife; if you
love virtue and abhor vice if you are
gentlemanly, forbearing and kind, and
not loud-talking and brutal young
man, that woman wants you; that
modest, fair, cheerful, right-looking,
frank-spokon woman, we mean, who
fills your idea of maiden and wife. It
is she who wants you-marry her when
you like, whether she is rich or poor
we'll trust you both on the above con-
dition without any further security.

OYSTERS ENGRAVING TO NEW ENGLAND.
It is stated that oysters of most respect
able dimensions and excellent flavor have
lately emigratcd to Cowesett Bay, R. /.
No longer than four years since there
were none in that bay. Six years since
came what are called scollops," with
which we have not the honor of an &C.
quaintancc. Three years since, these
scollops, which had been densely imbedded
in the bay, were covered with little oys-
tiers. These last have now grown so large
that this year they have been taken in
great numbers for table use. This is in
deed something notable in the doings of
the bivalvc family. We add that the State
commissioner sold the right to take oysters
in the bay at $40 to $50 per acre-the
right, We suppose, to be for one year.
When Governor WISE first proposed to
make the oyster beds Of this State source
of revenue he was bitterly opposed, and
much of the opposition came from New
England shippers but VIC now see what
New England authorities think of the pro-
priety of making those beds the subjects
OF taxation
