THE LIFE OF MAN.-Man, born of wo-
man, is of few days and no teeth. And,
indeed, it would be money in his pocket
sometimes if he had less of either. AS for
his days, he wasteth one third of them, and
as for his teeth he has convulsiOns when he
cuts them, and rs the last one comes through,
10, the dentist is twisting the first one out,
and the last end of mans jaw is worse
than the first, being full of porcelain and
roof-plate built to hold blackberry seeds.
Stone bruises line his pathway to man
hood; his father boxes his ears at home, the
big boys cuff him in the play ground and
the teacher whips him in the school room.
He buyeth Northwestern at ITO, when he
hath sold short at Sc, and his neighbor un-
loadeth upon him Iron Mountain at 63s, and
it straightway breaketh down to 52f. He
riseth early and sitteth up late that he may
fill his barns and storehouses, and 10! his
children's lawyers divide the spoil among
themselves and say, "Ha, hap He groWl-
eth and is sore distressed because it raineth,
and he beateth upon his breast and sayeth,
'My crop is lost!' because it ralneth not.
The late rains blight his wheat and the
frost biteth his peaches. 1fit be so that the
sun shineth among the nineties, he sayeth,
"Woe is me, for I perish" and II the north
west wind singeth down in forty-tWo be-
low, he crieth, ''Would I were dead" If
he wear sack-cloth and blue jeans men
say, "He is a. tramp" and if he goeth forth
shaven and clad in purple and fine linen
all the people cry, ''Shoot the dude!'
He carryeth insurance for twenty-five
wears, until he hath paid twice over for all
his goods, then he letteth his policy lapse
one day, and that same night fire destroyeth
his store. He buildeth him a house in Jer-
sey, and his first born is devoured by mos
quitoes; he pitcheth his tents in New York,
and tramps devour his substance. He mov-
eth to Kansas and q cyclone carryeth his
house away over into Missouri, while a
prairie fire and ten million acres of grass
hoppers fight for his crop. He settleth HIM
self in Kentucky and is shot the next day
by a gentleman, Colonel and statesman,
''because, sab, he resembles man he did
not like, sah," Verify there is no rest for
the sole of his foot, and if he had it to DO
over again he would not be born at all, for
"the day of death is better than the day of
ones birth. ."-B,rdette.

BEING TAUGHT.

One of the pleasant conceptions of Christ
is that he is a great teacher, giving lessons
to scholars who come to him for instruction.
Happily, too, they can think of him, not as
harsh and severe, acting the tyrant more
than the friend, but as one tenderly inviting
them on the ground that he is "meek and
lowly of heart" With such teacher will
they not all wish to learn?
This wish is necessary if they are to get
the full results Of his training. Sometimes
indeed, he seems to educate them even
against their will. Heliterally breaks them
in. In their stubbornness and perversity
they refuse to receive either him or his in
structions, and he, therefore, not willing
that they shall remain ignorant and degra-
ded, subjects them to discipline that will
result in improved intelligence and wisdom.
They are all unconscious that they are pas
sing through the school of the great Teacher,
but after awhile they get to know it, and to
be thankful for the Instructions that have
brought them so great blessings.
TO one who is in sympathy with his In
structor and desires his care, this daily edu-
cation isa pleasure that he could not be per-
suaded to forego. He has will that needs
subduing, and as in the hands of the Mas
liousness, and growing in tractable accord
ance with the truth, he rejoices in his en-
couraging progress. He has hot temper,
a passionate spirit, proud heart, weak
faith, and many other qualities and charac-
teristics that are distressing to him, but as
he sees them improving under the wisdom
that comes from above he takes heart and
is filled with new courage. And then, when
along with this, he feels that he is being ed
ucated into better sympathy with God and
his people, so that he reaches out after the
good things that are before and makes pro-
gress in understanding and doing the will
Of the Lord, his joy is complete.
Christ's schools always in operation. 1t
is never broken up; it knows no vacations
The pupils never get through graduate"
and disappear, but are always learning as he
takes them from one position to another and
leads them at last into the fuller but still in
creasing knowledge of the upper kingdom:
Baccalaureates are dismissing pupils, and
valedictories are saying farewell to teachers,
but it is not so in the school of Christ. He
dismisses no one, and no scholar or class
ever stands before him to utter farewell

INCoSvENIENT.-Ther new time table Of
the o. r. & N. Co.'s road will probably
go into effect next Sunday. It will
make several very important changes,
some of which We hope to go speedily
altered. The down passenger train will
leave Walla Walla at an early hour in
the morning, early enough in fact to
make the run to Wallula junction for
breakfast, reaching Portland late in the
evening. The mp train will reach here
about 10 O'Clock in the evening. This
arrangement will make it impossible for
our citizens to receive their Oregon and
California mail until the morning after
it arrives, and will delay answers to let
tiers over "A hours. The Pullman sleep
era will be run between Portland and
sand Point, none coming to or going
from this citv. Walla Walla passengers
will take and leave the "sleeper" at
Walluia junction. The worst features
of the new arrangement will be felt by
persons desiring to go up or come down
from the Northern Pacific, as it will
compel them to lay st Wallula Junction
all day. 1t il possible, whom the boys
are quiet, to pass night ct Wallula
Junction, but the prospect OF having to
pass day there will keep all but those
who have business from going to or
coming frsm the line Of tbs Northern
Pacific. Possibly Superintendent Rowe
will 50 arrange his freight trains that
passengers for and from the Northern
Pacific can leave and arrive in Walla
Walla by one of them, and thus not b
compelled 70 lay over q day at Walluia
Junction. Hereafter trip from Waits
burg and Dayton viii be anything but q
pleasant one, as it viii b necessary fol
the traveller to get mp at an awful early
hour in the morninG.-Unios.

loss OF the q. L. TAYLOR.
Death Of the Captains wife and the
Drowning Of His Son.

PORr TOWNSEND. Feb. 22.-The bark
entine @. L. Taylor, Capt. Bergman left
here Saturday morning for San Francis
90. On Sunday, at 8 a. M, about fifty
miles outside Cape Flattery, the barken-
tine was running along with fair wind
when it suddenly changed and south
east squall threw her ON her beams ends.
The hands went to work and cut the
masts away, when she righted. The
Captains son, a boy about six years old,
was washed overheard. Capt. Berg
man jumped after him, but failed to
save him, and nearly lost his life in the
attempt. After the vessel righted Mrs.
Bergman was found in the cabin dead.
It is supposed she died of suffocation or
WAS killed by a stick of timber, although
no bruises we're found on her person.
Yesterday the second mate and crew of
six men in all left the wreck in boat
for Vancouver Island, where it is
thought they arrived in safety. The
Captain, first mate and cook stuck by
the vessel, and were rescued by the bark
Arcturus, who brought them here this
afternoon. The Captains little daugh.
ter was saved without injury. Mrs
Bergman was buried at sea before help
came.
Caps. Bergman is completely broken
down by this terrible loss. Mrs. Berg
man was about % years az and was
well known here, having resiAed here fol
several years.

A visitor to the Zuni Indians says
that some of the consequences of the
visit by the leading men of the tribe to
the East last summer, have been I'M
pleasant. Pedro Pine, the oldest of the
tourists, has been telling such stories of
his adventures, and of the marvels of
the white mau's ways, that he has
gained the reputation of being the big
gest liar in the nation. The principal
mischief. however, is caused by his re-
pnr, - 4 - plainest white woman he
saw Ia Washington was handsomer
than the prettiest Zuni girl. A young
chief who had been presented with a
number of trinkets by the Washington
women, Snd who wore them home with
pride, was Obliged to give them up to
his jealous wife, who destroyed them.

Mr.. w. II. Carr who, it will be re-
membered, was arrested some time ago
on charge Of obtaining money under
false pretenses, narrowly escaped ap
pearing in another Justices court. 1t
seems that Carr, running short of funds,
drew check Oh Fairweather d Brooks.
of Sprague, w. T., and asked a COM
mercial traveller by the name of Will
zinsky to cash it for him, which was
Obligingly done, but on presentation Of
the check tn the drawees they refused
to honor it, stating that Carr was in
debt to them and refused to allow him
further credit. Coming to Portland,
the check was put in the hands of Con-
stable Sprague, who, an opportunity
affording, presented it to MIR. Carr, the
drawer. But Mr.. Carr disclaimed any
knowledge of the affair. The constable
was about at this point to make an ar
rest, but, however. was OPPORTUNITY pre-
vented by a responsible friend of Cars
putting in his appearance and endors-
ing the check, which rendered every
thing satisfactory.-Netos.
This check drawing trick seems to be
favorite device of Carr's to obtain
money under false pretenses. Several
months ago he came to Seattle, bring
ing with him letter of Endorsement to
young man of this city from a gentle
man who had known him in boy hood
and in the army, and who had every
confidence in him. The gentleman
who signed the letter is highly re-
spected gentleman, and his word
through the Territory is good for al
most any amount of money. Carr left,
and was east of the mountains for a
long time. In January he returned,
and after being IN. town day or 80,
approached the young man to whom
the letter was addressed, and stated
that he had been taking up timber land
and was short of funds, and wished to
draw a check on the bank at Cheney,
where he had money on deposit, but
being a stranger in the city it would be
necessary for him to be accompanied to
the bank by some one who could iden-
tify him. On reaching the bank the
cashier stated that it would be better
for Carr to draw a bill of exchange and
have his friend sign it, which was done.
Carr got the money and left. In few
days the bill of exchange was returned
to Seattle dishonOre1 and protested,
and the young fellow who went as an
accommodation to identify Carr, had
to march up and not only pay the full
amount received at the bank by Carr,
bat several dollars additional in the
way of costs. Consequently he is a
poorer, If not wiser man. With
this and other fraudulent transac-
tons recently come to the surface, we
can ausSer the query OF the Portland
paper very emphatically, in these words:
