ceremony was solemnized at the beauti-
full residence of the brides parents on

officiating. The bride was beautifully
dressed in dove coored silk with pro-
fusion of white lace and bridal blossoms.
A sumptous lunch was spread and the
guests did ample justice to the viands.
Toasts were drank while happiness
beamed from every eye. We heartily

Immigration.

If immigration is any advantage to
Clarke County, now is the time for an
active movement on the part of our peo-
pie. Every five days steamer is
bringing to Portland from San Fran
cisco, from 100 to 800 immigrants seek
ing homes in this northern country.
Has Clarke County an immigration So
cietye If not, Why not' If there is,
why is there no organized effort to have
our county properly represented to
immigrants when they land in Port
land? Money should be raised that
an agent may be sent to Portland every
steamer day to distribute our pamphlets
and generally to represent the county.
Such an agent could be furnished with a
list of farms for sale in the county with
the description of vacant government
land, and thus equipped live man
could do much toward bringing people
within these borders. The distance to
Portland is short, it costs but trihe
to come from there here; when here,
it costs less to live than it does in Port
land, aud Clarke County affords better
openings for new corners than does
Oregon, which is an older state and
more thickly settled. Business men,
hotels, steamboat and i'll fact every
body who has anything to sell or give
away are interested or should be, in
some movement of the kind above indi-
Gated. There are about three or four
thousand pamphlets, setting forth the
advantages of Clarke County, on hand
and now is the time to use them. Who
will make the motion?

Let Patience have her Perfect
Work.

Patience to have her really perfect
work in the human heart must not
! assume that form of resignation which
enervates the ambition and pales the
resolution to do and dare, and to meet
difficulties and overcome them. The
domain where patience should rule is
not confined altogether to the inner
consciousness of ones defects and
short comings, but also to the state of
outward conditions, and should there
fore enter in as an element of perse-
yerence in all good work and honest
industry. The injunction, "be patient"
does not mean, be satisfied with things
as they are, but to be calmly submiss-
i've to that which is at present inevi-
table; thus affording an equanimity
of mind and temper congenial to eff
ective labor, looking to the better
ment of all unpleasant conditions,
whether of the outward, or an inward
and personal character. The perfect
work of patience is therefore first, to
lend peace of mind, and second to
render the person thoroughly fitted
for honest, energetic labor. This les
son is profitable to every body, but
we have in mind class of people to
whom this is particularly applicable;
we refer to those Of our rural popula
ton, who, aspiring to better things,
are under the ban of the conditions
imposed upon all those who settle with
their families in the wilds of West
ern Washington Territory. To see
the settlers log cabin, situated on a
lonely clearing Of a couple of acres,-
that ''clearing," perhaps, covered with
stumps-the daylight shining through
the cracks of his log house, cattle
shed near by, few rods of fencing,
small garden, and three or four dir
ty looking children playing about the
lowly door, the wife drudging at home
with household cares, such as babies,
ETC., the head of the family away
working for some more fortunate
neighbor in order to get the wherewith
TO buy the necessaries of life, alto
gether constitutes picture of real life
TO be seen by any one who will take
the trouble to explore the muddy
roads through the timber of this
county. "Westward the star of en-
pire takes its way" and such people
are the forerunners of greater things
to come by and by. They hold them
selves responsible to themselves for
their action in migrating from the
older country to the newer one, but
while their object IN migrating was
selfish one, destiny makes use of
them In way they know not OF.
Their labor and experience is the
sign of an era, the fulflment of which
they will never see, but their times
and doings future generations may
contemplate with admiration and
pleasure. Somebody must be first to
settle new countries, else the race
could not develop. Herein is the
true mission of the pioneer, and it
furnishes abundant reason why the
spirit of patience should be specially
cultivated among our people. But
remember to be patient, not passive.
Patience creates and assists good res
olutions and good work; but to be
passive Is to be listless, careless and
unenergetic. Therefore, let patience
have her perfect work.
