Regrets.

II we had but known, il we had but known.
Those summer days together,
That one would stand next year alone
In the blazing July weather
Why. we trihed away the golden hours.
With gladness and beauty, and calm.
Watching the glory Of blossoming flowers
Breathing the warm airs balm;
Seeing the children like sunbeams play
Hearing the wild birds carol say.
And the song Of the murmuring food.
Bich gems to Times pitiless river thrown.
If We had but known. if we had but known
If we had but known. if we had but known.
Those winter nights together,
How one would sit by the hearth alone
In the next December weather;
Why, we sped those last hours. each for each.
With music, and games. and talk,
The careless, bright. delicious speech.
With no doubt or fear to balk.
Touching on all things. grave and gay.
With the freedom Of two in one.
Yet. leav ing, as happy people may.
So much unsaid, undone.
All, priceless hours for ever flown,
If we had but known, if we had but known
II we had but known, if we had but known,
While yet we stood together.
How a thoughtless look, a sighting touch.
Would sting and jar forever
Cold lies the turf for the burning kiss.
The cross stands deaf to cries.
Dull as the wall of silence is,
Are the gray unanswering skies
We can never unsay thing we said
While the weary life drags past,
We can never stanch the wound that bled.
Where chance stroke struck il last.
Oh, the patient love meath the heavy stone,
If we had but known. if we had but known!
II we had but known. if we had but known
We had climbed the hill together,
The path before us seemed all our own.
And the glorious autumn weather.
We had sown: the harvest was there to reap.
We had worked: 10, the wages ready,
Who was TO guess that the long last sleep
Was closing round one already?
With never a warning, sharp and strong.
Came the bitter wrench Of doom.
And love. and sorrow, and yearning, long
May wall by the lonely tomb
Oh, keenest pangs and the mournei's moan.
IF we had but known. if we had but known

Care Of the Eyes.

Prescott, the historian, in conse-
quence of disorder of the nerve of the
eye, wrote every one of his histories
without pen or ink, as he could not see
when his pen was out of ink, or from
any other cause failed to make a mark.
He used an agate stylus on carbonated
paper, the lines and edges of the paper
being indicated by brass wires in
frame.
Crawford, the sculptor, the habit Of
whose life had been to read in reclining
position, lost one eye and soon died
from the formation of a malignant can
cerous tumor behind the ball, which
pushed it out on the cheek.
There are many affections of the eye
which are radically incurable. Persons
of scrofulous constitutions, without any
special local manifestations Of it, often
determine the disease to the eye by
some erroneous habit of practice, and
it remains there for life. 1t is useful,
therefore, to know some of the causes
which, by facilitating the eye, invite
disease to it, or render it incapable of
resisting adverse circumstances.
Avoid reading by candle or any other
artificial light.
Reading by twilight ought never to
be INDUCED in. A safe rule is, never
read after shutdown or before sunrise.
Do not allow yourself to read mo-
ment in reclining position, whether in
bed or on sofa.
The practice of reading while on
horseback, or in any vehicle in motion
by wheels, is most pernicious.
Reading on steam or sail vessels
should not be largely INDUCED in, be-
cause the slightest motion of the page
or your body alters the focal point and
requires painful straining effort to re-
adjust it.
Never attempt to look at the sun
while shining, unless through colored
glass OF some kind even very bright
moon should not be long gazed at.
The glare of the sun on water is very
injurious to the sight.
sudden change between bright
light and darkness is always pernicious.
In looking at minute objects relieve
the eyes frequently by turning them to
something in the distance.
Let the light, whether artificial or
natural, fall on the page from behind or
. little to one side.
Every parent should peremptorily
forbid all sewing by candle or gaslight,
especially of dark material.
If the eyes are matted together after
sleeping, the most instant ,neous and
agreeable solvent in nature is the appli-
cation of the saliva with the fingers
before opening the eye. Never pick il
off with the fngernail, but wash it off
with the ball of the fingers in quite
warm water.
Never battle or open the eyes in cold
water. 1t always is the safest, best and
most agreeable to use warm water for
that purpose over seventy degrees.

Foreign Notes.


THE Ereuts Zeitung of Berlin proposes
to build monumental church In that
citv TO perpetuate the recollections OF
the late war, the fund to be raised by
general subscription throughout Ger
many.
BOMBAY papers say that 5000 families
are said to have been carried into
slavery from Meshed by the Turkomans.
Supplies have also been cut Oft from the
district and the distress was widespread.
The remains of twenty-on charred
bodies have beea found in the cellars
of two of the houses burnt down at the
corner of the Faubourg st. Honore in
Paris. They were unrecognlzabie. The
unfortunate victims had gone down
there for safety from the shells.
LEIPZIG has an institution which would
be of good service in this country name.
ly, school of Typography. The school
was established several years since, and
its success is already as 5ured. 1t already
educates a number of young artisans,
who are not only instructed in the
technical knowledge relating to their
calling, but also in foreign languages
and other subjects of which an accurate
knowledge is desirable for typo
grapher.
ENGLISH women are reviving an old
cosmetic used in the time OF Queen
Anne, namely, cucumbers stepped in
milk. Venus rose from the foam of the
sea, but modern beauty, remarks an ex.
change, rises majestic from curd hoops
and lettuce beds, with oatmeal plasters
on it's face, chloride on its locks, bis
muth on its fingers, to give pearly ap-
pearance, a steel band for cestus, and
iaved with decoction Of cucumbers and
blue milk.
THE Paris Omnibus Company has been
a sad victim of the war and insurrec-
ton. During the siege 500 of its horses
were taken for the army; l22 were eat
en- by the soldiers, 1000 by the inhab-
itants, and 70 were wounded 5000 bus
men and 1000 omnibuses were requisi-
toned for the exclusive service of the
National Guard, without reckoning 600
other vehicles with their horses and
drivers, which were used by the mill
tary hospitals. Under the Commune
the company received no less than 5000
orders from the Committee of Public
Safety requisitioning vehicles and
horses 100 animals were eaten by the
insurgents, and about fifty omnibuses
broken up for barricades. About 60 Of
the company's men were forced to drive
under the Commune, and are now pris'
oners at Versailles.
Mr.. HoRArio WARD, an American long
resident in London, has left legacy of
bonds and stocks amounting to $4,000,
to the daughters of the late Henry Nor
ris of Philadelphia. The will says:
"As these ladies are the grand-daugh-
tiers of the celebrated Robert Morris of
the Revolution, it will not be difficult to
ascertain their actual residence. 1t will
doubtless surprise them to get legacy
from a person they never knew and
perhaps never heard of, therefore it
seems but proper they should be in
formed that the bequest is made
through compassion for their misfor-
tunes, and in return for the kindness
shown me by their father when was
boy and it may be as we'll that Miss
Amelia Morris should be informed that
it was ! who sent some money to her
and her younger sister under the name
of her fathers friend, few years ago."

ANECDoTE OF EZEKIEL WEBSTER

Surrogate is the theatre Of so much un.
seemly wrangle over the wills of tesla.

ployed to defend the will of Roger Per-
kins, Of Hopkinton. The physician

Getting Her Rights.

During the past summer thirty-eight
male teachers and one female teacher,
from different schools in England, Scot
land, and Ireland, attended q sixty
days course of instruction in the Prin-
ciples of Biology at South Kensington.
A daily lecture was given by Prof.
Huxley, and the rest of the day was
occupied by the students in working
with the microscope, making dissections
of animals and vegetables, and investi-
eating for themselves the subjects sug-
gested by the lecture. Each student
presented daily report of the lecture
and the work done, and the course was
remarkably thorough. Two fine micro
scopes were offered as prizes for the best
two reports, and one of these was
awarded to the only woman in the class.
Nature, which gives very interesting
account of this course, fails to mention
the name of the lady, or we should
gladly put upon record the name of one
who obtained her "rights" in most
communicable manner

INFORMATION ABOUT OREGoN.-Our
contemporary of the Bulletin has the fol-
lowing lust and sensible remarks in re-
gard to the premium prize essays, and
we readily second the views therein con-
tanned: "There is a constantly increas-
ing demand i'm the Eastern and Western
States for information concerning Ore
gon and her resources, but as yet no ei-
fort has been made by either State or
county officials to furnish il in shape
that would be Of utility. Some time
ago the Real Estate Agents of Portland
cIubbed together and offered premium
for the best practical essay on Oregon.
The premium was awarded to two per-
sons, because it was found that there
was much valuable information in the
production of each one, and that by
iudicious dove-tailing of the two a per-
feet work would be the result. That
having been done, the aforesaid agents
have in their possession just the thing
that should be placed in the hands of
every man who is anxious to learn
something about the great natural re-
sources of our glorious State, but there
is a little impedimeUt in the way and
that promises to be a serious one. They
haven't got the money to spare to print
this valuable essay, and unless this diff
ficulty is overcome we fear that it will
be a long time before this essay is sent
out upon the world. 1t has been sug-
gested that as the city of Portland will
derive great deal of benefit from the
publication and circulation Of this essay,
that the City Council would be doing a
wise thing to appropriate a sum sufli-
cient to pay for the printing of ten or
fifteen thousand copies. If the Council
viii DO this the Real Estate Agents will
promise to circulate them Throughout
the country, and in such a manner as
to do a great deal of good. Who makes
the motion?"

evening was well attended and her re-
marks elected muci applause. She an

urged against the ballot to women.
Mrs. Duniway followed with a few COM

the Standard for its advocacy of the
cause of woman suffrage. She closed
with the proposition to club the NEW

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.-Miss Anthony
delivered a powerful address last evening
on the subject of woman suffrage, sue
cessfully refuting all the objections to
women voting. She claimed that the
! present position of women was degrad-
ing. She was in no respect looked upon
as mans equal, although often his su-
periOr. With the ballot a man is all
things. Without it he would be as pow
erless as a woman. Woman could never
feel self-respect or self-appreciation
without the power of voting. While
the law did not recognize her right to
vote it did not forget to tax her. The
| PiXley Sisters, who are conducting a
theatrical troupe in Oregon, have their
earnings taxed, yet they may not vote!
Husbands should converse with their
wives on political economy instead OF
treating them to an harangue on domes-
tic economy. Some said that the intro
ductiOn of politics into a family would
create dissensiOns and divorce. In the
city of Chicago there were ], OOdivorees
last year. In Connecticut the divorces
number One-third of the marriages.
Massachusetts divorced /, 600 couples last
year; and in the city of Cincinnati, not
long ago, there were 100 applications for
divorce in single morning; so there
was not much danger of the ballot caus-
ing any more quarreling in families
than there is already. Miss Anthony
concluded with an effective appeal on
behalf of the enfranchisement of her
sex. Mrs. Duniway then came forward
and presented copies of the New
NORTHWEST to the audience, remark
ing that she earned the material on
which it is printed with n sewing-ma-
IL \ II
for the paper sixteen years ago, when
she rocked a cradle and sang a lullaby
for the youngsters who are now setting
up the type. (Applause.) Miss An
thOny and Mrs. Duniway will lecture
again this evening and invite Divines,
lawyers or editors to discuss the ques-
ton with them.-COIOnist.
