and love will grow stronger and strong
er. Thus it has been, thus ever twill
be. II there's blame anywhere he will
say it is she. From Adam, our father,
they learned the mean way, and ever
on women the blame they will lay.
When driven by want she in business
engages; for the very same work she
receives half the wages. Should she
ask for her rights, she's crazy, that's
clear; she has gotten entirely out of
her sphere The dude, who can scarce

can capture any girl he may meet,

mashed upon me?'' She thinks:
''What puppy that fellow must
be-" Although woman was never
made from clod, you can but admit
she was made by her God-an image
OF angels, an object of love, a helper
to man and sanctioned above; but to
buy up the men for all they are worth
they are nothing, you know, but a
mere clod of earth-and If sold out at
once at their own estimation, oh
would it not be a grand speculation
Now, women all, my fellow creatures,
back me up in this, my speech, sir, and
all men they ought-or might-grant
to us what is our right. But whether
or not, this is our boast: whate'er
they're worth, we're worth the most;
for grant this fact they all of them
must, women are women and men are

Russian Dances in Oregon.

! A correspondent of the Overland
Monthly writes: Alas, the society has
no instrumental music; nor even the
poorest squeak of a fiddle. In this
strait the toughest throats amongst
the brothers are devoted as a band.
Kind hearted fellows-A and B and G
and Dare arranged against the wall
to chant for hours the strains of la, la,
la, with all the changes of time and
air necessary to guide the steps in q
waltz, the polka, and the quadrille.
The particular favorite of the people
seemed to be the American country
quadrille. This was danced again
and again, with, it seemed to me, every
possible variety Of blunder, the bride
groom acting as leader in the dance,
calling the figures, tearing his hair like
q Frenchman at the mistakes of his
friends, and shouting out his despair
ing instructions with rolling Russian
r, for all the world like an Irishman
with a little whisky in him. Altogeth-
er, the ball was very rude affair,
with hardly graceful scene in it, ex
cept a few steps in waltz by two
young girls, sisters of the bride. 1t
was relieved, however, by one round
in the ring dance, in which the little
children and the bride took part, all
singing a joyful children's song in Rus
sian. However, by rude [ do not
mean rough, or that there was any
breach of good manners, for the social
courtesy of these people, under all
circumstances is remarkable, but SIM
ply that there was an entire want of
grace. Under similar circumstances
of poverty and no music have seen
the people of French community
hold ball and display all the charm
of measured movement. But on the
other hand, the social bond with the
French was evidently artificial, or
rather, no bond at all, but the pre-
tense of bond; whilst with the Rus
slams all was genuine and sincere, and
though there was no harmony in their
dance there was harmony in their
minds
