TIaE NORTHERN COUNTRY.


A Newsy letter About Oregon ana
Washington Fssritcry.
We are at liberty to publish the follow
ing portion OF correspondence between
two we'll known gentlemen, one OF whom
lives hers the other being now. at San
Jose, California;
SAN JOSE (Cal.), Sept. 5. 1882.
DEAR FRIEND; After an absence of a
month I have returned from Puget Sound,
and in accordance with promise, will
give you my Impressions Of the Northern
country. We were four DAYS out from San
Francisco to Victoria. The country did
not come up to my expectations. l went
away with a desire to like 1t. 1t is the best
game region on the coast, and the best,
also, for fishing. I speak of Washington
and Oregon.
On the Sound I visited Port Townsend,
Seattle, new and old Tecoma and Olym-
pia.
Seattle is a thriving town of some 81
600 or 5000 inhabitants and the only
place on Puget Sound which is, now, of
any importance. Its chief trade is with
the logging camps, coal mines and saw
mills. There is no farming land to speak
of on the Sound. After you leave the
water you encounter an almost impemetra-
BILE forest. A few farms are to be found
along the rivers.
Apples, plums. cherries, Strawberries
and blackberries do well, and grow to per-
| lection.
Town lots in Seattle, with but little inn
provements, in the business portion OF
the town, are held at from Sl5,00O to Sso-
600 apiece. Lots in the woods. half a mile
| f-np, the uyatar front arn va1uQh at ST .UUU.
though I consider 500 a fair price for
| them. Should there ever be a large COM
mercial city on the Sound it will be nearer
the sea shore than Seattle, which is about
40 miles from the entrance of the Sound,
Around the Sound I think will be devel-
oped in o few years the greatest coal fields
of the West. The finest bodies at tim bel
in America are growing there now.
Portland ia q very pretty city OF about
o.. 900 inhabitants. According to its
population il does more business than any
other place on The coast. It's population
is iuoreasing rapidly, and it will always
be, I think. the chief commercial CITY OF
the coast north of San Francisco. II

For some persons Puget Sound may b.
a good country to go to, but prefer Cal

the climate. YOURS TRULY

What Next,

The Bristol Times is responsible for the
following: A curious bet was made at the
mines last Wednesday. John Ming, gen.
orally known as Bottle john" has a
common glass bottle containing a dark
liquid. A short string is attached to the
necka He claims that when held over
ground where mineral exists the contriv-
ance will revolve of its own accord and in
so doing prove the proximity of metal.
To make a test of the matter, several Of
the employees of the Mayfower mine
offered to bet 500 that John could not
determine in which of twenty cans q sum
OF money was placed, these cans to be
buried in d circle. and no two to be nearer
than six feet OF each other. The offer was
promptly accepted and the money put up
on the spot. Oyster cans were selected.
in one $500 in gold, and all were planted in
the prescribed space. John managed to
light on an empty can and lost his money
in consequence. He says that his failure
to find the coin was due to high winds
prevailing at the time. 1t is probable that
another trial will be made when money
will change hands.

Acting upon a request from a gentleman
Of Ruby Hill, who is a friend of Hon.
George W. Merrill, and wishes to see him
have fair play, we nave gone to the trouble
to investigate the charge that Mr.. Merrill
was one Of the committee to provide music
for Decoration Day, and in that capacity
opposed tho employment OF the Union
Guard band. As the result OF the investi-
gation, We are able to state for the gentle

W. Fl. Remington was getting up q sub
scription yesterday for the benefit OF four
men who lost all their clothing in their
efforts to subdue the fire by which Wander
lieth's and McElroy's hotels were de-
stroyed. When last heard from he had
raised 500. This is certainly a very
worthy object. The least that grateful
citizens canrdo for these heroic iremen Is
to save them from actual loss OF then
clothing, destroyed in their disinteresteo
labors for the benefit OF the whole COM
munity.

To LEARN How TO LET Go.-There is
a lesson, only learned as we grow old,
which lightens materially the burden which
was borne in earlier years. 1t is the les
son to let 90. to leave hold. to give up. 1t
is lesson very slowly and very hardly
learned, through discipline which may
well be called hea t-breaking. | am not
thinking now of the leaving 90 our hold
upon those who must go before us from
this world, but only of the ceasing to hold,
or what we think we hold, in our protect
ing grasp those who must 90 out from us,
who must 90 away. You fancied you must
keep your children always about you; that
you could not live unless you had yoar
arm $50 to speak, round theR all; that
they could not live unless this were SO
Even when one and another must 90 out
from under the roof, you seemed still to be
keeping your hold of them; still directing
what they should do. You had to learn to
let 60 You could not keep your hold; it
was needless; they did not want you to do
it. 1t is natural to deslte to keep in your

it cannot be; and you must be reconciled.

1t remains strange that the bright face has
gone out from your door; and that going
about your vocations you never can meet
in the familiar ways around, the hopefu

you make much of them; but no page thai

COURAGE, Ny SISTER Many of us
workers keep up our courage so long as
we see something to do. But we forget
sometimes that the waiting is just as much
part of Gods plan as the working For
We have need of patience, that after We
have done the will of God, ye might re-
ceive the promise"
We must not wait idly, however, and,
fortunately in the temperance work there
is little need Of standing still. We can
always pray. We can make ourselves &C.
quainted with temperance literature. We
can give or send tracts, lend books. can
vass for temperance papers. and put items
into our local papers. We can do some-
thing for our own children. or those of our
neighbors, or Of the Sunday school,
These may not be grand things, but they
are good seeds that will spring up and
bear precious fruit, il sown in tears and
hope, and prayers. Do not be frightened
by anything out of voHr steady purpose
Never say fail" God and the right are
on our side, and we must prevail. It may
not be in your time, or in my time. but Il
will be in Gods time, and that is enough
for us.
God has been looking down on all this
untold iniquity for ages, while His Church
slept. He has been waiting for US to
awake and do just this work. And now
shall we be discouraged because we can
not do it as fast as we wishP Oh. nay sister,
be patient and persevere! We are working
not for the approval OF man, but of God;
and our reward is sure. Let us so labor
that He will say at the last. "shs hath
done what she could"

Happy New Year.
By REV THEo. L. CUYLER, d. d.

Friend! here's grip of your hand, and
II hearty wish for a hIppg neW year to you
Don't let that hand touch drop OF intox-
icating poison, or it will be anything else
than happy day for you, or for youl
family. 1t would be bad start. The
ship that slaves a hole in her bottom before
she leaves Sandy Hook makes poor be-
ginning for a prosperous voyage. A glass
of liquor on the first day of the year
knocks hole in your conscience and your
character. Before the year is out, it may
sink you into degraded drunkenness.
What happy new year it would be in
thousands of houses if the parents would
hang up total-abstnence pledge on their
wall, and resolve not to admit drop of
liquor into their home for the next twelve
month! The Lord will bless that home.
The table would be better supplied. The
children would be better clothed. There
would be some extra money for books,
concerts, pictures and for an occasional
gift to the needy. No laboring mans
pockes is long enough TO hold drink-money
and house. money too. II you try it. the
dram shop will get hold of all your pock.
ct, and leave your household to 90 hungry.
These are "hsrd times" I'll tell you
why. This nation is spending more mon
ey for intoxicating drink than for all the
bread it eats, and all the clothes it wears,
all the books it reads, and all the churches
