a Bitter Lesson for Her.

A dark-haired, slender young girl,
with. brown eyes and a pleasant face,
stood at the prisoners dock in the JEFF
ferson Market Police Court the other
morning. She was neatly dressed,
though her attire was we'll worn, and
she stood with bowed head, while an oc-
casional sob shook her slender form.
Two other female prisoners stood in the
dock with her. The one on her right
was bold-faced woman of the town,
dressed in cheap but gaudy finery, be-
decked with tawdry jewelry, and evil
IDENTIFY familiar with her surroundings.
The other was an old woman in dirty
rags, which she scarcely held upon her
shoulders with one thin and grimy
hand. Her eyes were bleared, and her
face bruised and blOated.
The Judge looked at the strangely-as-
sorted trio. Then he said to the weep
ing girl:
"How is it that so young girl as you
should have come to this ?"
"I did not intend to get drunk, Judge"
said the girl. "I went to a woman's
house and we drank some beer together,
and somehow 1 don't remember what
happened after that, until found my
self in the CELL"
"HOw old are you ?"
"I am going on sixteen, SIR"
"Sixteen! How do you like your
neighbors ? Look to your right; that
is your next step. 1t won't take very
long for you to reach that stage if you
continue as you have begun. Now,
look to your left; that is the sure end OF
the downward path"
The young girl sobbed, but said moth
ing.
"You are young" resumed His Honor
''This is your first offense; 1 hope it will
be your last. You can go.n
The girl left the courtroom with
hanging head, but the woman on the
right laughed and the woman on the
left leered as they waited for their turn

which is large enough for an European

Sad indeed was the parting of the be-
reaved family from the lonely resting
place of the patient, long-suffering wife
and mother. But in the excitement of
iourneying the most poignant grief was
mercifully aIlayed, and it was but lit
tie while till the wild splendors of the
promised land were pictured before
them, from the descending slopes of the
beautiful mountains overlooking vast
tract of fertile land that is now an In
dian reservation, given over to Cayuse
ponies and not more intelligent camas
diggers. At that time this valley was
not wilder than at this writing, if we
except q few temporary Indian farms
that resident agents have caused to be
made by the lazy savages within the
past decade.
The average Indian will not work.
He prefers to murder and thereby dis
possess the man who will. But then,
as long as the Federal government pays
him anew, in increased annuities, for
every fresh endeavOr to decimate the
whites by butchery, there is no telling
when the numerous savage outbreaks of
the border will stop. Certainly not till
the noble red men are all destroyed.
Slowly and steadily our party journey
on, their way running through broad
tract of fertile land, and again over a
seemingly arid desert, which subse-
queut cultivation has redeemed from its
only seeming barrenness; across numer-
Gus rapid streams that seek their way to
the mighty Columbia through the SLOW
rolling ages, and at last behold them at
the foot of the Cascade Mountains,
where they remain encamped for a few
days to await the termination of a storm.
If any one doubts that the natural
tendency of the human family is toward
matrimony, let him note the progress OF
the malady in any new country where
population is sparse.

ERRORS IN MARRIAGE.-Many peO-
pie think that they have made a mis-
take in marriage, when their mistake
is only in their behavior since they
were married. Good husbands make
good wives, and good wives make good
husbands; and the scOlding and intem-
perate, or slatternly partner often has
himself or herself to blame for the mis-
cry that clouds the life and desolates
the home. Multitudes who feel that
their marriage was a mistake, and who
make their existence life long misery,
might, by a little self-denial, and pa
tienee, and forbearance, and gentleness,
the old-time courtesy, make their home
brighten like the gates of Eden, and
bring back again the old love that
blessed the happy, golden days gone by.
Suppose the wife does not know quite
as much as you do; well, you showed
your very great judgment when you
thought you chief among ten thousand.
Or, if your husband is not the most won
derful man in the world, it simply il
lustrates the wit and wisdom of the
young woman who once thought he was,
and could not be convinced to the con-
trary! So, perhaps, you are not SO un-
evenly mated after all; and if one has
had better opportunities since marriage,
then of course that one should teach and
cultivate and encourage the other, and
so both journey on tOgether.-HGtPt

"THAY AMEN AND THIT DOWN.
Unfortunately for the Sunday
there are number of middle-aged gen.
tlemen, who, thinking themselves en-
dOwed by nature with oratOrical ability,
visit Sunday-schools to display their
speech h-making qualities. These gen.
tlemen are properly termed Sunday
school bOres, for they bore the children,
bore the superintendent, bore the teach
ers, and bore every person with whom
they are thrown in contact.
One of these gentry had a round oi
four or five schools, which he visited
regularly, and as regularly bored, end
ing his orations invariably with Amen.
Visiting one of the schools during his
regular rounds, he made his appearance
at the superintendenps desk, who, feel
ing greatly annoyed, yet out Of courtesy
asked him if he desired to say few
words to the school.
"Wa'al, yes, Pll just say a word ol

The administration is sorely vexed at

DEATH OF MRS. NoRTON.-Mrs. Car
oline Norton, the poet and novelist, who
was married to Sir William Maxwell
last March, is dead. She was grand
daughter of Richard Brinsley Sheridan
and 4 sister of Lady Dufferin and the
duchess of Somerset. She was born
about 1903, and was reared at Hampton
court. In 1927 she was married to the
Hon. George Chapple Norton, brother
Of Lord Grantly, but in 1886 she sepa--
rated from him, after having been tried
and ACQUITTED of the criminal charges
brought against her by her husband.
The trial, owing to the prominence Of
the parties, created a great scandal at
the time. The circumstances Of her
marriage last March, her advanced age
and almost helpless condition from par
alysis, rendered the union one of the
most singular matrimonial affairs on
record, and excited much comment.
She has been a most prolific writer.

Betsy" Wants to Know.

"Betsy Baker" asks through the Cor
Wallis Gazette few pertinent questions,
which convince US that she is "Betsy,"
and not "Benjamin," as we at one time
suspected. Hear her:
! noticed in the Gazette request for
little girls to represent States, on the
4th, who will ride in "Liberty car"
How inconsistent to ask for females as
emblems of freedom! Slaves cannot
he emblematic of Liberty, can they?
Would it not look more consistent to
see little boys here, as elsewhere, chosen
for representatives of the States, while
girls do very well as representatives for
Territories, since they are not eonsid-
cred capable of doing for or governing
themselves, but must be controlled by
those chosen by others? Are all wOm-
en- monstrosities? or only those of Ben
ton county? When the naturalist finds
plant which in growth has deviated
from the natural course, and does not in
consequence fall under any of the esta6-
lished classes, he prOnOunces it "mon-
strosity." So when the president of
this new railroad company stated on the
day of the railroad celebration that pro-
vision had been made so that all classes
should have a representative speaker,
he called the doctors, lawyers, mer-
chants, farmers, professors, grangers,
and from all classes in society, but
failed to call any of the ladies of the
county, we feel fully convinced that We
belong to no class, and consequently
must be monstrous ignoramuses, inca
pable of answering to call as regards
lOltdt we can and are willing to do for
the new cause, or else we are "monstros-
ities."

How easily we can settle the question OF
duty for a tired, tempted, discouraged
fellOw-creature, and what a large mar
gin we allow for our own weaknesses
and follies How seldom do we reflect
that, placed in the same circumstance,
we might be even more reprehensloie
than thew whom we so uncharlta0ly
condemn! God help us-what if He SO
unsparingly and unrelentingly measure

Ladies in Persia,

A traveller in Persia thus describes
the dress and appearance Of the ladies
Of that country:
A few women are seen. We meet
one sitting astride on horseback, as all
Eastern women ride. We believe them
to be women because of their costume
and size, but we can see no part of them,
not even a hand or an eye. They are
shrouded from the head to the knees in
cotton or silk sheet of dark blue or
black-the chudder, it is called, which
passes over the head and is held with
the hands around and about the body.
Over the chudder is tied around the
head yard long veil of white cotton or
linen, in which before the eyes is a
piece of open work about the size of q
finger, which is their only lookout or
ventilation. The veil passes into the
chudder at the chin. Every woman be-
fore going out of doors, puts on a pair of
trowsers, generally of the same stuff
aud color of the chudder, and thus her
outdoor seclusiOn and disguise are COM
plete. Her husband could not recog-
niZe her in the street. In this costume
MOhammedan women group their way
about the towns of Persia. Their trOw-
sers are tightly bound about the ankles,
above their colorej silk stockings, which
are invariably of home manufacture ;
the slippers, with no covering for the
heel, complete this unsightly, unwhole-
some apparel of these uncomfortable
victims of the Persian readers of the
Koran. The indoor costume of Persian
women of the higher class appears in
delicate to Europeans. The chuddel
and trowsers are the invariable walking
eOstuu1& Indoors the dress of a Persian
lady is More like that of ballet girl. In
the ante-rOoms of Persian royalty my
wife was received by the princesses
thus attired, or rather unattired.

Let the Thirsty Drink, for Drink

Editors OF the Register:
The good folks of Wheeling and vi
cinity, when Engaged in good cause,
like other very good people, carry things
to an excess which is sometimes ridicu-
lous and always injurious. The genius
of temperance has made its way to the
very heart of the enemy's camp, tearing
down with an unsparing hand the very
bar-rooms, and converting them into
splendid and spacious saloons" for the
levces of her followers. This is going
through in the business of reform, and
assailing the enemy at headquarters.
Men will DO thirsty; that cannot be
avoided; and when thirsty, they must
drink, and it is proper that they should
do so. If alcohol Is pernicious, furnish a
substitute. There is variety Of pleas
ant drinks; coffee, for instance, perfectly
innocent as the most ardeat temperance
man could desire. The only difference
in the arrangement as it now stands,
would be the changing of sides; the in
sides must 20 out, and the outsides must
rejoice in the change. A small colony
of ardent characters could be settled at
once, in the vicinity Of our theatres, and
We should not be surprised, it complete
reformation would take place.
