PROUD COLUMBIA,
BY,wALLAcE n. sTRuBLE,

BY,WAIItsACE IL. BTRuBIE.
Where tho chilling snow of Winter
Covers with its ghostly white
All the leaflets in their weakness,
All the mountains in their might
Where among the rocky fastness
Roamed the grizzly bear at Will,
There, In blushing, maiden beauty,
Young Columbia's waters rill.
From its fountain
In the mountain,
Leaps the water into sight,
Flowing, darkling,
Anon, sparkling
IIike.a diamond in the light.
Down the mountain canyon rushing,
Lcaping DER the oeetling,rocks,
Gaining strength at every turning,
All impediments she mocks;
Pausing now to kiss the branehlet,
Hanging DER her limped face
Starting offagain in wildness
On her maniacal race.
Noble river,
Time has never
Left sorrow in thy breast;
Full of gladness,
How can sadness
Ever mar thy wild unresta
Through the valley now she wandefs,
Shaded by the lofty pine,
Nourishing the grassy meadows,
Freshening the thirsty kline;
f1t&TiuH OH HcT UU5pitt NcSctiS--
Children of her mother-pride-
Rolling ever to the ocean,
Mighty, pauseless, noble tide.
Otthy gladness,
And thy madness,
OF thy maniacal glee;
OF thy power,
And thy dover,
Proud Columbia proud are we
Where the blue Pacific's surges
Thunder in their rhythmic spleen,
Where the occidental sunbeams
Cast their glories ON the scene,
There, amid old natures grandeur,
There, amid the grand sublime,
Proud Columbia joins her music
With the oceans ceeseless rhyme.
Grand old river,
Rolling ever
Onward 10 the ocean wide
Time may sever,
But we never
Shall forget thy mighty tide.

Pleasure. Pleasure is to woman
what the sun is to the flowers il mod
erately enjoyed it beauties, itrefreshes,
and it improves; if immoderately, it
withers, desolates and destroys. But
the duties Of domestic life, exercised as
they must be in retirement, and calling
forth all sensibilities OF the female, are
perhaps as necessary to the develop
ment Of her charms, as the shade and
the shower are to the rose, confirming

AN OREGON LovE-LETTER.

The following letter, which purports
to have been written by sgushing Web
foot damsel The sympathetic reader
can scarcely repress longing to hear
Of her marriage with her Darling
Jack": s3es5s sss ,s45. I, 49, -
- Ar HOME, Jan. 8, 1876.
DEAREST DARLING JACK: As I am feel
ing in quite communicative mood to-
night I thought 7 would give vent to
my feelings by writing to you, my dear
est. / must tell you, Jack, that the
other day I fell in love with q widower
over here, and thought for a time I
would have to write and let you know,
but when / came to my senses I thought
how foolish I was. It is true he had no
moustache, neither have you; but oh,
your lips are so much sweeter than his
but as / said, I was so ashamed of my
self that I went and put my head in o
flour barrel, and still have it there and
I want you to come over and pull me
out. My own love, we had parsnips
for dinner to-day and they were good,
but not half so good as you are nor
near 30 sweet. / often wish you were
O. ruta-baga and was growing over here,
SO I could go down and pull you up and
squeeze you good. You bet do. We
have some carrots in the garden but
we did not have any for dinner to-day.
They amt sweet no how. I had lots
of fun to-day playing with our tabby
cat, You ought to see him turn SOM
mersaults and antics. I wish you was
a tabby cat and I would play with you
too. Our pork is pretty salty and it
makes me have to go to the spring pref
ty often for drink and oh / wish you
were here to go with me and we would
both sup out Of the same cup. I some
times chaw gum to pass away the time.
Oh I wish you was gum so I conld chaw
you, for you would be so sweet i would
chaw all the time. We caught q mouse
in nice little trap last night and it was
a nice little mouse but not half as nice
as you are. 81 it''s
To-day the weather was fine;
The sun shining all the time;
If YOU had been here to-day,
Ishould want to be Mrs Ray.
L nave got lttie Dlru tnht man
gave me. 1t is fine little bird and ]
keep it in cage. / got lead pencil
the other day and it has got a rubber
on one end of it; and oh wish you
was rubber, but you amt are youi
No, you are q precious little lump Of
sugar, sweeter to me than honey.
Jack, for my to try to tell You how
love you would be impossible. I have
me quilt done now and all ready to
use. Oh how I wish you were quilt.
But you amt. No you are as niceas tai
low candle; I go by your light, and can
see and love you more if it is possible
for me to do so. Jack, / wish you was
o plow with your feet for the shear and
your arms for the handles, thenI would
do nothing but plow all summer. But
you ain'tare youP No; you are my own
darling, and too sweet for any use. Let
us get married and then we will be hap
py, too happy to express for you know q
pig in the pen is is worth two outside.
+ wish you were pig and in pen, but
you amt are you? No more at present.
saaa, Yours. till death,
ANNIE.

HoNEsTY. We hare somehow learned
to make o difference between those OBJ,
legations which we owe to one another
as men, and which we owe to the Gov
ernment and corporations. Thoseideas
are nota whit more prevalent among Of,
fice-holders and directors than they are
among voters and stock holders. Men
are not materially changed BY being
clothed in Office and power. The radi-
cally honest man is just as honest out
of Office as he is in gik. Corrupt men
are the offspring Of corrupt society.
We need STRENGTHENING up, The lines
of our morality all need to be drawn
tighter. There is not q man who is
willing to smuggle, and 10 see custom
officers betray their trust while. he
does it; willing to receive the results of
the sharp practice of directors of cor
porations in which he has an interest;
willing to receive the patronage OF tho
Government in the execution of schemes
not based in absolute necessity willing
TO take ON exorbitant price for d piece
of property sold to the Government or
to corporation, who is to be trusted
with Office. g sipsi n
When we have said this, we have Civ
en- the explanation Of all our public and
corporate corruption. and shown why it
is SO difficult to get any great trust man
aged honestly. All this official corrup-
ton is based on popular corruption
loose ideas OF honesty as they are held
by the popular mind; and we can hope
for no reform until we are better based
as people in the everlasting principles
of equity and right-doing. 1--we would
have the stream clear, We must cleanse
the fountain. DR.. Holland.
