OUR FOREMOTHERs.

Lille Devereux Blake, ever on the
alert to defend woman and compel
recognition Of her labor IN the worlds
work and sacrifice, speaks thus Of the
manner in which our foremothers were
ignored aud our forefathers extolled at
an anniversary celebration Of the land
ing of the Pilgrim fathers, in a speech
made by Secretary Sherman upon that
occasion: at is true that Secretary
Sherman in the course Of lis speech, as
an illustration, said that the uation's
faith should be like the chastity Of a
woman, above suspicion II must
hardly be said that, in presence Of the
gentlemen there assembled, lie did not
speak Of the chastity Of man. since
such a remark would probably have
been looked upon as personal allusiOn
by every man present. With this single
exception, however, a diligeut perusal
Of the speeches has failed TO discover the
slightest hint OF the existence, past OF
present, Of the female half Of our people.
/ a great deal was said OF tie hardy men
who colonized the land, Of the struggles
Of the men who built up the country,
and in reading these aher-dinner efforts
one would actually think that race OF
grim masculine creatures had really
settled, populated, and adorned New
England without the aid Of a solitary
woman, Hon. James G. Blaine Gaping
the climax Of forgetfulness by speaking
Of the hardships endured by the men,
and declaring that these al 600 men
were the progenitors' Of a great race
kAs If even in the matter Of increasing
the census and raising families men
were quite independent Of all feminine
assistance. In point Of fact, these 2l, ,OOC
men were half women; Of the lOl per-
sons who landed from the Mayflower,
only forty-one were men, and the hard
ships, the sUfferings, the devotion ol
these pilgrim mothers forms the most
touching part of that romance Of the
landing Of the Pilgrims"

Col. Thomas J. Dryer, resident, with
but slight inlermission, Of Portland
since 1850 His death took place at st.
Vincenrs Hospital on Sunday, the 30th

closely identified with the stormy polit-
ical contests that marked the last years
Of the Territorial and the first years OF
the State government of Oregon, aud in
this connection was widely known, and
will be long remembered. He was the
founder, and for ten years editor and
proprietor Of the weekly OrcgoniaR, is
suing the first number Of that journal
on the 4th OF December, 1850. lie was
once a member Of the Territorial legis-
lature, a member Of the State Constitu-
tional Convention, and as presidential
elector was chosen iu 1860 to bear the
vote Of Oregon to Washington. he has
for number Of years past lived apart
from political strife. His wife died a
few years ago, and his daughter, MIS-.
Ogden, departed for Washington to oc-
cupy position in the Treasury Depart
ment some time since. during which
time he has lived lonely and secluded
life. His illness was OF short duration,
aud his last days blessed with the kind
est care and attention. His obsequies
were conducted on Tuesday afternoon by
the Masonic fraternity.

GOOD ADVICE.
rConmunicated.l

Young lady, before you marry man
TO reform him, weigh well your own
strength and compare it with his, or
YOU may find in few years that instead
Of there being one more good person IN
the world there will be family Of bad
one. And you, young man, consider
the same, for all women are not angels
by any means. aud you also require
caution iu the selection OF your com
panion. 1t is your right to improve
yourself by the hest society and the Lesl
influence. Il is your du;y to lend a
helping hand 10 those below you.
Marriage is so different from all other
relation, that it requires the greatest
caution, as il involves not only your own
fate, bu, usually the fate OF others. As
nearly "a possible, mate with your equal,
hut if you have committed yourself too
hastily, aud find, after the die is cast,
that you have yoked your-elfunequally
with bad temper, bad habits or bad
principles, then God have mercy on
your soul, for no one on earth can help
you out of it. You may go to reform
ing with all your might, aud, with the
utmost purity, the greatest patience and
most devoted love, your task will still
be hard Que.
As to the one who, knowing his own
unworlhiness, his own emptiness, his
own degradation; who knows himself
physically or mentally diseased; know
ing Limself possessed OF an uneontrolla-
BILE temper, or ungovernable propensi-
ties, and who yet seeks to drag a pure
and innocent soul down TO his own
level, lie is nothing but a vampire,
sucking the life-blood Of his victim in
in order to prolong lis own worthless
existence, and no punishment is sufi-
eient for him, save the fires Of that per-
dition 70 which he is certainly doomed.
