there is a difference, but this is far
oftener felt by those who lack these
gifts, than those who possess them. In
many this has been d barrier
to the sw eetest friendships. because IN
the part of the less favored has bcen a
stupid pride. lest they should be pat
ronized by superiors.
If there is any one thing that could
give increased light to women, it
would be III making her more charita-
BILE toward her own sex. Could she
look up and abroad. instead of plant
ing her stakes here and there IN the
old ruts Of the past could n fashion
her life not according to her own stan
dard. but more in harmony with the
divine promptIngs. which are right
and true and natural; could she be less
a something that society has made her,
and more the woman God intended
her, then indeed might we look at least
through the eyes of our chlldren's
children, at a people whose integrity
could not be bought and sold, whose
honored names would be without a
stain. and whose freedom should be
the large liberty. wherewlth God
maketh this people free.-Househotd.

Are shining on the sad abodes of

Through the still lapse of age. All
that tread
The globe. are but a handful TO the
That slumber in its bosom.-Take the
wings
Of morning, and the Barcan desert
Or lose myself in the continuous
where rolls the Oregon. and hears no
sound
Save his own dashings-yet the dead
are there:
And millions in those solitudes, since
first
The flight of years began, have laid
them down
In their last sleep-the dead there
reign alone.
So shalt thou rest,-and what if thou
withdraw
Unheeded by the living-and no
friend
Take note of thy departure: All that
breathe
Will share thy destiny. The gay viii
laugh
When thou art gone, the solemn brood
of care
Plod on. each me-, as before, will
chase
Ills favorlte phantom; yet all these
shall leave
Their mIrth and their employments,
and shall come
And make their bed with thee. AS
the long train
OF ages glide away, the sons of men,
The youth in life's green spring, and
he who goes
In the full strength of years, matron,
and maid,
And the sweet babe, and the gray
headed man.
Shall one by one be gather'd to thy
side,
BY those who in their turn. shall fol-
low them.
So live, that when thy summons comes
to join
The innumerable caravan, that moves
To that mysterious roalm, where each
shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of
death,
Thou go not, like the quarry-slave, at
night,
Scourged to his dungeon. but. sus-
tain'd and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy
grave,
Like II that draws the drapery of his
couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant
dreams.

oh. what is Life? I've heard it asked,
Both by the old and by the young,
By those who in the sunshine basked,
And those who dwelt where shadows
hung.
Just what this wondrous Life may be,
Ii thou would'st know, my tongue
shall tell,
OH, Life IS ont q ride, aciLe sea
Washing the shores Of hedUen dndheu
And Time, Gods ven ceaseless
breath,
Doth watt our frail barks Ger the
Till, grim and stern, the helmsman,
Death,
Hath steered us to his gloomy ave.
But ere we reach that cave of night
And furl our sails forever there,
We pass through waters raging white,
And others sluggish with despair.
And mid these waves foam capped and
high,
That toss our banks from crest to
crest,
Or mid the pools where stagnant lie
The waters in their Shiny rest,
We cry out IN our fierce despair,
QForgetful of our morn's fair prime,
When waves were bright and skies
We're fair),
That Life is made of storms and
slime!
Why shrink we so in fear and fright,
Oh, blind of heart and faithless fools:
Lies sea has sunny ripples bright,
AS well as dark and stagnant pools.
Hath Gains, as well as storm and rain.
That lull us as we idly float,
And zephyrs sing a soft refrain
Among the ten sails of our boat.
We needs must ring Hopes silvery
chime
To still the tempests raging wrath,
And in the pools of stagnant slime
To dip the oar of steadfast Faith.
Our ten broad sails, SO spotless white,
Bear each a firm yet mild command,
And if we trim those sails Alright
Well anchor safe in Fatherland
Well gain the helmsman's realm Of
night
And there lay down our broken oar,
But deaths dark cave opes into light,
And then we reach a heavenly shore.
And there is hope and peace and rest,
No pools of doubt or waves of strife,
There may we, safe on Jesus breast,
Forget the storm tossed sea of Life.

ED. ARGUs:-For the information Of
"Justita" " who seems to be somewhat
hetOgged in the matter, the writer would
respectfully state-that the policy hther-
to adopted OF preventing citizens from
obtaining material from the public streets
wherewith to fiji in and improve private
property, and portions of the streets ada
cent thereto. has been very wisely depart
el from by the present Hon. Mayor and
members of the City Council; and, OH the
contrary, every facility, (when not in con-
flict with the city's interest or the rights
of private parties) is offered to any and all
citizens to grade, plant trees, and other
wise utilize and beautify private as well as
public property.
The removal Of the black earth from a
portion of Washington and Jefferson
streets is necessary preliminary to the
widening OF the streets; and, as such
earth is worse than useless for grading
purposes, it is at the service of any clti-
zen requiring the same (notice of which
has been repeatedly given all that is
necessary is that the earth be taken from
within certain plainly marked limits,
which will be cheeriully shown If re-
quired) by the Street Commissioner.
FRANCIS w. JAMES.
AS we understand the law, all
City Councils simply have the streets
of their respective municipalities in
charge for the time being. They
hold them in trust for the public.
They can improve them but cannot
deed a street for any consideration
to any private party, or give cart
load Of dirt from public street for
any private purpose. Streets are
public property and cannot be, in
whole or in any part, made private
property. Mr.. James says our Coun-
Gil has done it as regards some of our
streets; but, as the acts of Council
are set forth in its published ordinan-
ces, and as we are not aware of such
an ordinance having been published,
we think he must be in error. Last
Ily, soil is as good for street filling as
any other material when oyerlaid
with cement.

No PEoor.-The cowarilv charges
preferred against Governor Ferry,
at Washington, were no doubt in.
tended merely to manufacture capt
tnl from for the approaching Terri
'oriai election, by few who wish to
break down, il possible, the Gov.
crnor's political influence. No other
object could possibly have been in
view, as Delegate Jacobs called at
head quarters to inquire into the
matter and was told that on account
of the charges being SO vague and
no proof accompanying them, no
notice whatever would be paid to
them. The Governor has sent on
his demand that the matter be inves.
tigated; and that too by some one
outside of Washington Territory, so
rs to leave no room for the cry Of
whitewash." His object is not
only to vindcate himself but to OBJ
tain grounds for prosecuting the
malicious individuals who have
shown him so much attention.

RUSSIAN FLEET. A private letter
from Lieut.. w. +. Kilgore, formerly
of this place, but now of the U. S.
revenue steamer Hamilton, of Phila
delphia, Pa. contains information as
follows: "There are three vessels
here, at the yard Of Champion g. Sons,
lately purchased by the Russians,
and undergoing thorough change
in their rig and outfit. The number
of Russian officers and men in daily
attendance upon the repairs would
dispel the mystery that is represent.
ed by the various periodicals, re-
garding the purchase. The finest
ship in the feet will be the State Of
California, and we learn that she is
to be the flagship Of the squadron.
She is about 1000 tons register, and
was being constructed for Messrs.
Goodall & Perkins, of San Francis
co, TO run between that place and
Portland. Many changes IN her rig
and outfit have taken place, both in
ternally and externally. AS she is
the first vessel ever built in this
country and rated according to the
English Lloyds, there is no question
but she would have been the finest
vessel on the Pacific coast if they
had completed her for the purpose
intended when commenced. There
is another one, however, about to be
built on nearly the same plans; the
keel blocks have already been laid.
The steamship Saratoga, built last
year, by John Roach & Son, of Ches-
ter, Pa, is fine specimen of an Am
erican ship--2,2S5 tons, and was, up
to the time of her purchase, in the
New York and Havana trade. The
steamship Columbus was built by
VIM. Cramp & Son, in 1878, was al
so in the New York and Havana
trade and carries 1873 tons. They
are making thorough change in her
rig and outfit. All three of these
vessels are to be bark rugged, and
will each carry a battery Of two piv-
OF guns and mortar. They will be
propelled by steam, Of course, and
] presume an average speed of Is
knots per hour is expected. 1t will
be two months or more before they
are ready for sea--except the Sarato-
ga, which is farthest advanced.

OPPOSITION. On Monday after.
noon the fine, dashing steamboat
Olympia, Capt. Stoddard, made her
way along side of Union Wharf, hav-
ing come from San Francisco since
noon on the 4th inst. An eager
crowd of visitors rushed down to the
landing to inspect the new arrival
and ask questions, while visions OF
half.fare tickets and free passes occu-
pied the ordinary mind, 1t is ru.
mored that she has secured the con.
tract for carrying the mail between
Victoria and this port, twice per
week, for $4,000 per year, and that
she will run to Olympia and way
ports each trip. Ifthis is true we may
expect lively times on the Sound in
stesmboating, as Captains Starr and
Finch are each capable Of " hanging
on"

AMONG other notable evidences of
the prosperity and progressive con-
dition of the lower Sound vicinity,
we are gratfed to chronicle the en-.
larged and improved appearance of
the B. B, "Mail," That paper comes
to us containing four colomns more
reading matter than formerly, besides
being in many ways much improved.
We have frequently heard it re-
marked that Mr.. Power, in occupy
ing an outpost in journalism, has
necessarily undergone an immense
amount of labor in proportion to his
remuneration, and hence we are
