Wicked men do prosper for q little
while; but as sure as God lives, in the
end they shall have their just reward
If you consider the whole of life from
end to end. then truth, and honor, and
purity, and justice and fidelity pay. If
you want to grow quickly, you can
grow quickly by wickedness, but you
will not last long. If you want to
grow SO as to last, you must adhere
to integrity, and you must be contented
to grow slowly, if God ordains it. You
can grow mushroom or a toadstool in
one night. if you have dunghili large

RAILROAD MATTERs.-The Sacra-
mento Union of April 10Th, contains
dispatch from the Pacific Railroad, dated
April 9th, from which we extract the
following:
The Central have discharged and sent
west nearly 1000. In few days they
will begin sending the Cinnamon back to
various sections to ballast the road and
complete it. In month or six weeks
others, with many of the teams, will be
sent to the Western Pacific, on which
line the Company will concentrate all the
force that can be used. The Central
Pacific will also move men and teams
to Marysville to commence the Oregon
road. Gov. Stanford says they will push
the road north as quickly as possible.
The Central Company have bought the
California end of the California and
Oregon road, and will connect with Ben
Holidays road on the east side of
Portland.

The Orphans Home.

Mr.. EDITOR w hile in Salem [
visited, among other things of public
interest, 'sThe Orphans Home" This
institution is situated about one and "a
halt miles from the central part of tile
Capital, near the old Missioa Cemetery.
The site is elevated, and will, when the
timber and underground are removed,
be In full view of the city e,.,
The building is now nearly finished, at
cost of about twenty five hundred dol
lars three hundred dollars more would
probably complete the present building.
The construction is both neat and con-
venient. There is connected with the
institution ten acres of land, donated by
Mrs j. j.. Parrish, of Salem the main
building is 80 feet square, two stories
high, with a large cellar and wood shed
attached. One of the rooms above is
designed for a sehoolroom, and viii ac-
commodate thirty or forty students We
are informed that the institution is sus-
talned entirely by voluntary contributions
from those who sympathise with the
destitute, placing it at once in the hands
of the charitable. Hence its success and
prosperity will be an index of our sym
pathy, and the measure of our piety as
people: 'SFor pure religion and unde-
filed before God is this: To visit the
widow and tbo f,tbarI,r, =, +Io:n Az
tlons." Our charity canuot be more
profitably bestowed than upon this insti-
tuition, which is designed. not as '.Poor
House,, nor a ''House of Correction"
but as home where the neglected chill
dren of our country will find care,
sympathy and kindness, until they are
otherwise provided for by their friends OF
relatives, or are qualified to provide for
themselves. Hence every parent is per-
sonally interested to the extent of their
liberality to misfortune, and should con
tribute TO the extent of their ability to
the support of such an institution. 1t
will be remembered that the support of
those children who arc sent will only be
supplied by the funds contributed by the
people There are several orphan chill
dren now IN different parts Of the State,
who will be sent in as soon as the
"Home" is in readiness It is under the
control of the ladies of Salem, being the
work of their own hands Mr.. G.. w.
Royal and his excellent lady have been
engaged to take the immediate oversight
and supervision of the ''Home," and from
our acquaintance with them, we can
assure the people that nothing will be
neglected to make the place home for
the fatherless. We understand that the
IsHome" will be ready about the first of
june. All communications should be
directed to Mr. G. R. Wilson, Salem.
Yours, Ell. G. J.

Gloverson, the Mormon.

The morning on which Reginald Clio
verson was to leave Great Salt Lake City,
with mule train, dawncd beautifully.
Reginald Gloverson was young and
thrifty Mormon, with an interesting
family Of twenty young and handsome
wives. His unions had never been
blessed with children. As often rs once
a Year, he used to go to Omaha, Nebraska,
with train of mules, for goods but
although he had performed the rather
perilous journey many times, with entire
safety, his heart was strangely sad on this
particular morning, and filed with gloomy
forebodings.
The time for his departure had arrived
The high-spirited mules were at the door,
impatiently champing their bits. The
Mormon stood sadly among his weeping
wires.

Wonders of Modern surgery.

The following is brief summary of
an article in a late number of the 1tiantic
Monthly, on the recent discoveries and
improvements in surgery
BY the local application of a sufficient
degree of cold, insensibility can be pro-
duced in any desired part, so that man
with a most exquisitcly painful wound
on the arm, or fclon on the finger, can
now look down in his perfect senses, upon
the knife as it enters his own body, and
performs the most difficult operation
without giving him the least pain. A
French surgeon has invented an instru-
ment he calls the ssecrassur," OF crusher,
to perform operations dangerous in sur
gerry, on account of the loss of blood
from the smaller vessels, if performed
with knife 1t is formed of fine chain
gathered into loop, which encloscs the
part to be removed, and ty turning the
screw the chain is to be frightened till
Che parts are separated. The blunt chain
SO turns up and twists the ends of the
blood vessels that hemorrhage is pre-
vented
The eye is now examined by an instru-
ment called the opthalmoscope, by which
the depths Of the globe Of the eye can be
readily and fully explored, and through
its aid great deal of what has been
written and conjcctured about diseases of
the eye has been found to be wrong.
The intricate passages of the ear, the
nose, the whole of the windpipe and pas
sages of the lungs are now carefully
explored.
| Perhaps one Of the best results of
modern science has been through what is
called conservative" surgery, the rule of
which is to save all that can be saved
from the amputation knife. Many of our
| brave soldiers complained of the reckless
haste with which, in the late war, some
surgeons would cut off arms and legs on
account of trifing wounds. This COM
| plaint was often just. But one of the
most distinguished surgeons in the world
has lately written: CAT Kings College
it is rare to see all amputation in nine
cases out of ten excision Cor the cutting
out of the deceased portion of the limb)
should be performed in its stead"
A boy at the West was caught under
fallen log, and had his leg broken and
twisted upon itself at right angles with
his thigh, the bcnes protruding through
the flesh, and no doctor near. He lived,
and after weeks of suffering, was taken
a hospital. Modern conservative surgery
instead of amputating the limb, as the
old fashioned surgery would have done,
sawed off the protruding bones, turned
the leg back again to its place, and put
on an instrument to keep it of equal
length with the other, and now the boy
stands, runs and jumps with two sound
legs

The mules were never found.

The funeral passed off in a very pleas
ant manner, nothing occurring to mar
the harmony of the occasion. BY happy
thought of Reginald's S mother, the wives
walked to the grave twenty abreast,
which rendered that portion of the cere-
mony throughout impartial.

we clip from an exchange. We do not
know its paternity, but it contains some
wholesome truths beautifully set forth !:
Men seldom think of the great events
of death until the shadow falls across
their path hiding forever from their eyes
the traces of the loved ones whose living
smiles was the sunlight of their existence.
Death is the great antagonist of life, and
the cold thought of the tomb is the skel-
eton of all feasts. We do not want to go
through the dark valley, although its
passage may lead to paradise; and with
Chas Lamb, we do not want to lie down
in the muddy grave, even with kings and
princes for our bed-fellows. But the fiat
of nature is inexorable. There is no ap-
peal or relief from the great law which
dooms us to dust. We flourish and we
fade as the leaves of the forest and
the beautiful flower that blooms and
withers in day has not Trailer hold
upon life than the mightest monarch
that ever shook the earth with his foot
steps, Generations of men appear and
vanish like the grass, and the countless
multitude that throng the world to-day
will tomorrow disappear as the footsteps
ON the shore.
