Peaceful and joyous these are SEEN,
And peace and Joy encompass thee.

And love them-for their beauty thine.
Red roses DER the woodland brook
Remember me thy lovely face:
So blushing and SO fresh its look
So wild and shy its radiant grace.
I kiss then in their coy retreat
And think of lips more soft and sweet.
Gold arrows of the merry morn
Shot swiftly over eastern seas,
Gold tassels of the bending corn
That ripple in the August breeze.
Thy wildering smile, thy glorious hair,
And all thv power and state declare
White red and gold-the awful crown
OF virtue and of beauty, too.
From what height those eyes look down
On him who proudly dares to sue
Yet. free from self as God from SIN

Let me but love thee i'll the flower,
The waving grass, the dancing wave,
The fragrant pomp of garden bower,
The violet on the nameless grave.
Sweet dreams by night, sweet thoughts by da
And time shall tire ere love decay.

Let me but love thee in the glow
When morning en- the ocean shines,
Or in the mighty winds that blow,
Snow-laden through the mountain pines
In all that fair, or grand or dread
And she shall die ere love be dead.

I'VE SURFEIT ON THE SAME. -

The last issue Of the Forest Grove In
dependent contains 4 column and half
Of flimsy platitudes and oft-refuted
statements concerning Woman Suffrage,
aptly headed "false conclusions" the
whole being periodical installment of
the IOosest Of all Luce logic that ever
employed type. We read the article
through, vainly hoping to find some
thing whereon TO hinge an argument.
Instead, we only found the usual con-
glomeration of"ballots and bullets, pro-
tector and protected, the duties of moth
erhood, political arena, home influences,
doctors Of the hearth, slums and broth
els, moral influence, pure and womanly
women," aud like fresh and original
topics.
1t will evidently take "twice told the
period spent on stubborn Troy" to con-
vince certain Obtuse individuals that
fright is right;n but happily their opin-
ions are powerless to retard the progress
of the inevitable.
We believe, as Fanny Fern once ex-
pressed it, that the time is coming when
'these fossils must either climb upon
the car of progress or be crushed beneath
its advancing wheels" Has our brother
ever heard of persons who are practical
Woman Suffragists, while they oppose
il in theory?

WOMAN SUFFRAGE CELEBRATION

Woman Suffragists of California pro-
pose 70 celebrate the fifth anniversary
Of the first Woman Suffrage organiza-
tiOn on the Pacific Coast, on the 9th of
the present month. Concerning the
proposed celebration, Mrs. Sarah Wal
lace says: ''The friends are enthusias-
tic and most sanguine of a united, sue
cessful and glorious good time on the
9th, and regard the occasion the Cali
fornia woman's Fourth of July. It is
true she is not yet emancipated from
long years Of slavery and unrewarded
toll, but the hour of her glorious transit
tion is near, as is brightly shown in the
events Of the past few years, and the
cheering prospects of women's political
future. Let the Suffragists on the coast
unite in consecrating the occasion Of the
27th TO the great principles of equal
rights and human justice, and in the
future 10 work to that end"

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

DEAR READERs or The NEW NORTHWEST:
Leaving the classic shades of Forest
Grove on the eth inst, we proceeded to
Hillsboro, and took lodgings at soli-
tary hotel, neatly kept by gentleman
and his wife, who dispense the good
cheer of life with liberal hospitality at
hard-time prices.
The evening brought US u good audi
ence and pleasant reunion with old
friends, as well as a genial acquaintance
with many new ones.
Hillsboro is as quiet and dull as the
most orthodox county seat of any county
could well become. \ croquet ground
has been made of one of the principal
cross streets, and here the voting deni-
zens regularly congregate, some to
knock the balls through the dust and
arches, Others to sit idly by, fighting
the buzzing and persistent flies, while
the cattle chew the cud of sweet con-
tentment in the fence corners, and the
merchant deals out tobacco to the needy
and frugal farmer.
Hillsboro suffered great wrong from
the railroad company when it was de-
MED a depot. The town is beautifully
and centrally located in one of the rich
est counties Of the State, and will live
and prosper in spite of railroads, but il
ought to have a station. The temper
ance question here is absorbing public
attention. The Champions have recently
organized an Encampment, and the
Good Templars have an active Lodge.
There being no public conveyance to
Greenville, we were indebted TO Mr..
Lewellyn, who furnished carriage,
and to Mr.. Ledford, who drove us to
the place Of ournextappOintment, our eleven
miles distant
Greenville is set like q gem in the
midst Of a quiet agricultural valley, hall
surrounded by low mountains, heavily
timbered. The farmers have good houses,
fences, orchards, ETC., and seem prosper
Gus, healthy and contented. Our lee
lures here, upon the woman question
and temperance, brought out large and
attentive audiences, and we left the
neighborhOod at the close of our visit
with very pleasant memories of the
hospitality and friendship of the people.

where the people jammed the little

salutations, pressing invitations upon
us to go hither and thither to preach
our gospel of good will to men and
women. The harvest is ripe and the
laborers are indeed few. o, for more

LETTER FROM THE PENITBNTIARY.
OREGON STATE PENITENTGARYI }
June %. 1874.

OREGON STATE PENITENTIARNr
June 23, 1874.
To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST;
Knowing that you feel an interest in
us, as well as all others in misfortune, L
again presume to address you.
We have recently received a very
pleasant visit, from a number Of the
noble Christian women who are labor
ing so earnestly in the cause Of temper
ance. These ladies, accompanied by
Prof. Royal, met in our chapel and held
social meetiag.
The Professor stated the object Of the
visit, which he said was not made to
crafty an idle curiosity, or critieise
what they might see, but that they had
come as those who felt deep interest
in our welfare, whose hearts were filled
with love and sympathy for US, and
they desired to take each one of us by
the hand and speak word Of encour-
agement.
After reading chapter in the New
Testament, prayer was offered in most
earnest and solemn manner by lady
whose name did not learn.
a lady who announced herself as one
Of the crusaders from Portland then en-
tertained US with an account OF the
manner in which they had been con-
tending with the Rum Fiend in that
city; and from her account of it, 1 am
sure that not all OF the bad men of Oregon,
perhaps not the worst, are to be found
within these prison walls. She stated
that they were not discouraged at the
opposition they had met, nor intimi-
dated by the insults that had been
heaped upon them, but were determined
to continue their efforts until saloons
were wiped out, and that should they
fall in the ranks, their daughters would
take their places. Determination like
this must accomplish something, but if
they could go forth with the ballot as
we'll as the prayerbook, their success
would then be speedy and complete.
After several other ladies had spoken,
and some beautiful songs had been sung,
and impressive prayers offered, they
passed around, taking each of us by the
hand and speaking words OF encourage
ment, sympathy and hope that will
never be forgotten while life lasts. They
told US they would gladly welcome us
as brothers when We should be released,
and 1, for one, am determined, with
Gods help, to become worthy of their
confidence and esteem, and 1 know
Others who have made the same resolu-
ton.
We wish you and all others engaged
in the temperance work God-speed, for
we know full well that three-fourths of
our number have been brought here by
intemperance.
Hoping that you may soon again have
an opportunity to visit US, I remain
Gratefully yours,
DICK ALEXANDER.

A BARNAOLE.

itself an Independent has fastened for

the day is not far distant when the good

cause of its pitiable imbeciIty, and, in its
place, secure the services Of some one

YAMHILL COUNTY CONVENTION

The Yamhill- County Equal Rights
Association, presided over by Mrs. Ann
NJ. Martin, of Lafayette, will, as was
announced last week, hold its second
session at McMinnville, on Friday of
this week, continuing, most likely,
through Saturday. The first meeting Of
this Association, held at Lafayette some
three months since, was conducted har-
mOniously and successfully, and the or
ganization was permanently and thor
oughly effected. A general invitation
has been extended to friends of the
cause from different localities to be pres
ent at the coming session, and have a
grand time generally-while they strike
telling blow for equal rights. Al
though the season of the year is now
somewhat unfavorable for general
turnout, we yet confidently expect that
old Yamhill will do her duty, and not
allow a Convention representing the
leading idea of the age to languish for
want of workers. The Association was
formed under the auspices of the State
Woman Suffrage Association, to which
it is auxiliary, and We look for an inter
esting report from its Secretary at the
special session Of the State Association
in September. In this connection we
would urge other counties also TO be up
and doing. There is a great and glori-
Gus work yet 10 be accomplished in
this State, and, as we have before said,
it was the design Of the Executive Com
mittee Of the State Organization TO sim
plify and systematic this work by fur
nishing the Nice-Presidents OF the sew
eral counties with a uniform plan TO
work upon. We will be glad TO have
these county officers report to. us the
state and progress Of the work in their
respective localities. We are quite sure
that gun from old Yamhill will speak
through the next issue of the New
SOUTHWEST. Success to the Namhill
County Association, and all honor to
the noble workers for equal rights
within her borders.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE AND PRoHIBI-
TIoN-A coalition of the Temperance
and Woman Suffrage parties is one of
the perplexing and disagreeable possi-
bilities that confront the modern politi-
clans. Definite shape has been given to
it by the proceedings of the Prohibition
Convention at Auburn, New York, yes
terday. This Convention was under OBJ
legation to recognize the services of the
women in the late crusade, and when
pressed to adopt resolution in favor of
Woman Suffrage, had not the heart to
refuse. So the Prohibition party in
New York stands pledged "to put the
ballot IN the hand of woman when it
has the power to do So" The women
cannot be less magnanimous than this;
they must support the Temperance
party. Mr.. Carpenter, Mr.. Norton, and
a score of other Senators in Congress.
declared themselves duringthe late ses-
sion as favoring the cause of Woman
Suffrage. Will they advance to the
logical conclusion, and favor prohibitorv
legislation If they do, the German
vote will go to the everlasting bow
vows. There are other reasons WHY il
would be inconvenient for some of the
Senators mentioned to become advo-
