THE BRIDAL TOUR.

Young Sprigsles and his Julia had Just
been married, aud were gong on then
wedding. They didn't know whether on
their return, they would board with the
old folks or take rooms IN private hotel.
Being only clerk Spriggles' means were
limited, and he could not expect much at
first in the way of living. ''Of course,

of our lives, and we wanted that 1t should
be success. We felt, as new life

we rode two miles to the substantial cot

had made the first payment on it and
Mary's money had furnished three rooms
in it. And we ate our first meal thereai-

TO my work and my wife set about her
work. 1t was new life, and we were de-
termined to succeed if possible. And in
the success that followed was usually hap

was paid for and my house was my own.

Spriggles walked away, scratching his
head. He wasn't sure that he had caught
the drift of the old mans remarks but the
old man was sure that he had fully intend

LETTER FROM SALEM.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
The subjoined bit of moralizing has
set me to thinking Indeed, as like be-
gets like-to moralizing with this diff
ference, that my attack takes the form
of questions. Hearken:
Solomon's proverb, ''Hope deferred maketh
the heart SICK" applies especially to women
and young people. When they want anything
they want 1t Immediately. The value and
sweetness are taken out of many gift for
them by the needless and needless delay of its
bestowal. wife wants 10 go somewhere, or
she wants some article Of dress or household
furniture, and her husband might as well
crafty her at once as to put her Off day after
day; but he does not, and her deferred hope
makes her heart sick, so when the desired
favor comes 1t does her no good. Parents often
treat their children in the same way, to an ex-
tent that is cruel They do not mean to be
cruel, but the result is the same. All the
sweetness and satisfaction is thus often taken
out ofthe lives of wives and children in respect
to things which, if promptly and carefully be-
slowed, would confer joy and gladness upon a
household.
If the means of the family are suffi-
cient to supply the needful articles of
''dress or household furniture" why
are not wives able to have their wants
supplied? Why should they be COM
PEELED to ask, as suppliants for that
which is jointly their own, and receive
the same, if at all, as favor graciously
granted? No one will claim that
women are so inefficient or ignorant as
to be unable to act for themselves in
matters of this kind, and why is it that
they have so seldom the privilege of so
doing? Women all over the land are
found who are self-sustained. They
are Industrious, pains-taking and care
ful, and, as a result, are pecuniarily in
dependent. But mark the result if one
of these thrifty economists becomes
wife. They work equally as hard, nay,
harder, for the work of a mother and
house-keeper is never done, yet they
never received one penny for even their
most common wants without feeling
of humiliation that only paupers should
know. There is no sufficient reason in
my mind why this should be SO, but
yet that so it is in nine households out
of ten is an undisputed fact.
A voice just at my elbow declares
that "no true husband tyrannizes over
; his wife," and as cordially endorse
} the sentiment, wonder whether there
are really so few "true husbands" and
if not, why SO many wives are COM
PEELED to go through life victims Of hope
deferred and consequent heart-sickness
that could, by little justice and fore
; thought, be SO easily avoided; and if the
author of this extract can give US any
> reason why wives should be thus pc
! cuniarily dependent upon husbands, he
9 will confer favor on

WOMAN's PART IN THE OENTBN-
NAL,


The ladies of Marion county who are
interested in the Oregon department of
the coming Cenennial Exhibition, are
requested to meet at 2 o'clock, Saturday
afternoon, November 2Oth, at the house
of Mrs. ]. H. Moores, Salem.
Committees of ladies in the different
counties have been appointed to issue
like calls, and report results to the State
Committee at Portland, of which Mrs.
Duniway is chairman.
1t is hoped that this concert of action
will result in gathering collection of
interesting objects. Relics and anti
quated articles of any sort that have
history dating back to Revolutionary
times are wanted.
A full display of the flora and fauna Of
Oregon is desirable; pressed flowers,
leaves, grasses and all plants common
or peculiar to our country; moses and
ferns arranged with the artistic taste pos
sessed by so many of our ladies would
go far to show the cultivation of our
people.
We are assured by Hon. A. J. Dufur,
Centennial Commissioner, that all arti-
cles loaned to the department will be
faithfully returned to the donors in due
time.
1t is proposed by the State Committee
to exhibit the collection formed at
suitable place in Portland before finally
packed for shipment. us

The Vancouver Independent, speak

county, w. T., says:
The public school, under the charge Of Miss
Ruth Rounds, is deservedly considered one OF
the best country schools in Clarke county. Al
least so says one who ought TO know. ''No
girl need apply' is not the motto in Pho
neer. Their school-teachers are appreciated
and paid according TO ability and merit, re.
gardless Of sex.
Pioneer is a thriving and intelligent neigh.

selves accordingly.
The last paragraph of the above ex-
tract was unnecessary, Inasmuch as
that which went before rendered the last
perfectly obvious. Those districts
where "no girl. applyi for charge
of public schools are yearly growing
scareer and more scarce, upd soon will
belong as much to the past as do the
log school-houses, ferules, and long
backless benches that our fathers de.

ent held the reins to keep the ''colts'
from running away, and the driver
climbed the mountain and cut bundle
of the berry-laden bushes with his jack
knife These he dumped into the
wagon and on we went, one pair of eyes
upon the skittish horses, and another
pair upon the equally skittish brake,
with hands full of whOrtleberries and
feet braced to keep the seat-board in its
place, and after two hours ride we
emerged from the thickest wood and
found Sumner City nestled like al gem
in the foothills of an amphitheater OF
nature's haudiest and hardest work, its
common covered with cattle and chill
dren, its houses, most of them white
and new, and its hotel, good and COM
modious building, well-kept by young
landlord, and his younger wife, who re
ceived us like an old acquaintance.
The posters sent ahead to announce
our. coming had failed to make their ap-
pearsnce, so our visit was a surprise to
the citizens; but Hon. Mr.. Duly agreed
to publish our advent, and in an hour
or two goodly multitude met US in the
school-house on the hill, where we
talked woman question" to which the
people listened eagerly. After the lee
ture a few subscribers were gathered,
and we then slept the sleep of the ex-
hausted at the hotel.

eight, before we were half ready to
leave, but time and stages wait for NO
woman, and we hurried away, regret
ting that we could not see more Of the
town aud its environs.
Retracing our weary way through the
mountains and over the road described
in former chapter, we reached Rose
burg on Saturday, after two days
