WITHOUT AN ENEMY.-Heaven help
the man who imagines that he can
dodge enemies by trying TO please every
body. If such an individual ever sue
ceeded we should be glad of itInot tlat
one should be going through tle l'i MoIlu
irving to find beams to knock and thump
his moor head against, disputing every
mans opinion, fighting, and elbowing,
and crowding all who differ with him.
That again, Is another extreme. Other
neonle have a right to their opinions; so
have YOU. Don't fall in the error Of
supposing that they will respect you
more for turning your coat every day TO
match the color of theirs. Wear your
own colors i'm spite of either wind or
weather, storms or sunshine. 1t costs
the vascillating and irresolute ten times
more to wind, and shuttle, and twist,
than it does honest, manly independence
to stand its ground.

talent than can be found elsewhere
The grace and tenderness, so world
renowned, of this school, are displayed
in the works of Tintoretto, Paola, Vero-
nese, and Bellini. The beauty of life
like deliniation and richness of coloring
are found, in a marverOus power, in
Titian's assumption and EntOmb-
ment," the pride of the gallery and the
climax of his genius.-AROnyDlOHS.

The east side is frosty, but is little par

Hood River apples have always

of thousands of boxes in the lower
