Home Education of Children.

The New York Tribune contains a
paragraph on education. It must
have been written by bachelor. or the
father of an unpleasant brood Of little
ones. Nevertheless it contains some e1-
cellent suggestions. Home education is
the most important that can be given
children. The impressions received there
last through life:
There is hardly any one who has not
had melancholy occasion to know Tat
the home education Of children Is duty
all but universally shirked in this coun-
try We delegate this. as we delegate
everything else, and trust that boarding
schools, day-schools and Sunday schools
will repair the mischief occasloned by
our negligence. At meeting this week
/ of the Boston Sunday schools Society,
the Rev. Mr. Irafton complained that
children are no longer brought up
they are tumbled up it is done by mach
inery. Once the mother used to teach
the children around the hearth-stone.
Now they are sent to Sunday-school, and

time he delivers it.
We have plenty Of Little Men and
Little Women in America, but no Boys

SW EET HEART.

Dir sonthward. Earth. and bare thy breast,
10 meet the kisses Of the sun:
And IN thy subtle throbbing feel
Another golden spring begun.
Wake. yiolets that lie asleep
In soft blue dreams beneath the snow
And send the naples amber blood
Through ali its veins in passion-flow.
And. by and by cali back the birds;
Call back the bloom to shrub and tree;
But not from height or depth, oh earth!
May you call back Sweet Heart to me.
The merest seed that fell by chance,
The merest grass blade of the plain,
Shall thrill to hear your lightest step,
But at her grave You call in vain
Or bird and bud. and warm south wind,
She-brfghter. sweeter than them all
In some existence, rich and strange,
Heeds neither springs nor loves recall.

companies. The principal season begins
in March, and lasts some four months
but there is also short run towards the
close of the year, denominated the "fall
season." although the fish then taken are
not deemed suitable for canning, being
inferior This fishery gives employment
to a great many hands, who are engaged
in sailing, smoking, packing, canning, and
preparing different vessels used for those
purposes. 1t is increasing rapidly, and
will be conducted on larger scale this
year than ever before. Notwithstanding
the immense numbers annually taken,
there seems to be no diminution among
them in the waters of Oregon.
The Oregonians are making strenuous
efforts to obtain closer connection with
the rest of the world, by means of rail-
road communication. Twenty miles of
the sEast Side" Railroad, intended to
connect Portland with San Francisco, and
extending along the east side of the
/ Willamette, have already been construct
ed. Active operations have been sus-
pended for the present, but will be re-
sumed with additional vigor in the spring.
In the meantime the work of getting out
ties has been resumed without cessation.
1t is believed that the road will be CON-
pleted as far as Albany during the cur
rent year. Another road, to run along
the west bank of the Willamette, is also
contemplated; many capitalists of Oregon
being interested in the enterprise. Still
another is on the tapis-to connect Salem
with Astoria, passing through the Tuala-
tin Plains, and other extensive sections
of rich farming lands. Among the pro-
positions contemplating farther i'm.
provement of interior communications is
| one providing for the construction Of
fifty locks on the Yamhill river, to pro
long the season of navigation on that
stream. In fact, the Oregonians are be
ginning to manifest a proper spirit of en-
terprise, and are good deal interested
in extet ding their facilities for trade and
commerce.
Our space will not permit us to dc
more than add the following figures
During 1869, not less than 155 vessels
arrived in the Columbia River OF these
92 were steamers, ships, 35 barks,
briggs and l6 schooners. aggregating 500,
900 registered tons. The amount o
treasure received from Oregon the same
year, throug Wells, Fargo & Co., wa
$3.50 900, to which should be added {
nearly equal amount brought by private
hands.
After this exhibit of Oregon and he
resources, we trust to hear no more carp
ing from the journals of that State agains
the press of San Francisco. 1t is, there
fore, with all the more pleasure that W.
note an admirable exception in the Ore
CON Herald, which has devoted mucl
pains and considerable space to givins
interesting and valuable statistical intel
ligence about Oregon. Let others follow
its example

Two Clever Sailors.

In small old town built on the sea-
shore, there used to live two sailors,
named Jack and Joe. They were great
friends, and had one boat between them,
and went out fishing together.
They were both strong and brave, and
sunburnt They both liked rum, and
both wore loose trowsers. And so they
could never make out which was the
most clever.
Il know the best way to cook mack
erel, and herring, and SOLE" said Jack.
$50 do I. And 1 know the best way to
sell them," said joe
$50 do l." answered Jack "And I
know the best way to catch them
$50 do /" answered Joe: "but what
is the use of all this when We have not
got any ropes for our nets ?"
eff We had time we could make some" +"
said Jack.
"If we had money we could buy some,' y
said Joe.
eff we knew where, we could borrow
some" said Jack.
"If we knew where we could steal
some," said Joe.
Just then the bells of the church on
the hill began tolling for evening prayer.
"They ring those bells with ropes, "
said Jack.
"And the ropes are very good,' said
Joe.
Jack began to smile; Joe began to
laugh.
''Mate, shall We go to the church to-
night ?" asked Jack.
"And shall we stay there till the last?'
asked Joe
Up the hill went the two sailors. They
stopped in church till the prayers were
all over and everybody had gone home
''Now is our time," said Jack.
at is our turn now," said Joe.
Off they went to the tower where the
bells were hung. Here they found TIVE
long, strong. thick ropes.
'sOne for me-" cried Jack.
"And for me-" cried Joe.
Up the ropes climbed the two cleve
! sailors, like couple of monkeys.
I'm at the top" said Jack.
"And so am T. said Joe.
Jack pulled out knife from his pock
ct. So did joe
Lick stick went Jacks knife. HI
cut through the rope over his head, an,
down he fell and broke his pate on tn
stones on the bottom.
"Oh, crickeep' groaned Jack at tn
bottom Hwho could have thought G
that?"
"What stupid head you are," erie
, Joe, at the top. "You should have don
as / do"
With these words, he cut the rop
close under his feet. Down it fell, an
left him hanging by his two hands at til
top.
"Oh, cricket cried Joe, at the top
'swho could have thought of that ?''
"What stupid head you are," groar
ed Jack. ssYou will have to hang ther
, till morning"
, And SO he did, and it made his arm
, so stiff that he could not move them fl
I, a week.
!, 1t was sad night for the two clevt
!, sailors. They cried, and groaned, an
J, prayed, and said bad words till mornin,
Then Jack went off to the hospita
!, and Joe was taken off to prison.

LIFE IN TExAs.-Not long since a
party of Texans were practising with six
shooters at a target, when wager was
proposed that piece of silver should be
placed on a cork, on the head of one of
the number, and the cork shot out, lcav-
ing the coin resting on the mans head.
The wager was made, and at distance
of five PAGES the parties were placed in
position, the target adjusted, and the feat
performed without injury to the brave
supporter of the target. This is the Will

largest income in Boston-s730, 900
according to an exchange, failed in bust
ness few years ago, but got started
again by industry, and paid every cent
of his indebtedness. He then got lit
tie capital, which he invested in subur-
ban building lots, selling whenever he
could realize the smallest profit He
also built houses, selling them whenever
he could get the smallest advance. By
steadfastly pursuing this policy, at once
beneficial to the community and to him
self, he has gained his immense wealth.
