Monday morning at Silverton, dur
ing the temporary absence of the FAM
lily, II. l.. Mister rugged up very in
genious suicidal rontrivancc and put a
bullet through his brain. He took a
large rifle aud fastened the stock to the
rail of the stalls in the barn, resting
the muzzle on a box. He lay down in
front at right angles with the direction
of the gun. and touched the trigger
with long stick with notch cut in
it for the purpose. The bullet entered
his head near the right ear and passed
through the brain, causing instant
death. The family returned about
noon, and his l2-year-old daughter
entered the barn to put up the horse,
when she found the body of her father.
Mister was aged about 60, and had
lived in Marion county over thirty
years. He was deranged in mind.
Last spring he was examined as 10 his
sanity, but was discharged. He WAS
wealthy and had quite large family,
nearly all daughters. Saturday hc
withdrew securities, notes, etc, from
the bank, amounting TO quite an
amount, and these at last accounts had
not been found.

MOTHERS.

At present there are mothers who
are not mothers. In the true sense
they have never borne the children
they rear to maturity. Such are not
TO blame; they have never learned
what life means nor do they know
themselves. Walking in dream,
they take the show of things for the
reality. Unwinged butterflies, they
flourish their feeble day and leave no
impress upon their starved progeny.
On the other hand the unwedded or
they who have never known a mothers
fruition, often stretch out the arms of
their spirits to take in all the sad, sick
and weary that desolately walk the
earth. The mother instinct is then
not narrowed selfishly 10 one family,
but grows broad as the heavens from
which came love so wonderful. 1t
takes in whoever needs ''motheringn
to shelter on the great heart that waits
not for the human tie before accepting
that of the spirit. Is not this truly
the highest and heliest motherhood TO
which woman can attain?
The true feeling of motherhood still
exists in all perfection, even though
the usual exhibitions be generally ex-
ternal Said wise woman lately: 81
never thanked the Great Mystery for
Jesus till knelt by the cradle of my
first born. What was it fioated in and
ens1l cred my consciousness about the
subjective revelation of an inexpressi-
bic and holy love, the conscious throb
OF an Infinity rooted in human veins?
There is nothing so glorious and so
awful under the sun, the rejected wo-
mainland patiently lifting through the
ages the supreme Humanity to its
thrnnery

Mr.. Vanderbilt pays his cook SIC, 900

more than you and earn-or at least

sunably because he can cook better

could cook tolerable well, and shoot a
little, and speak three languages toIer-
able well, and keep books fairly, and
sing some, and understood gardening
pretty well, and could preach fair
sort of sermon, and knew something
about horses, and could telegraph a
little, and could do light porter's work,
and could do plain house and sign
painting, and could help on thresh-
ing machine, and knew enough law TO
practice in the justices courts of Kick
apoo township, and had once run for
the legislature, and knew how to weigh
hay, he wouldn't get $4,000 year for
it. He gets that just because he knows
how to cook, and il wouldn't make a
cents difference in his salary if he
thought the world was fiat and that it
went around It's orbit on wheels.

Faith and hope are temporary lights
designed TO guide us through the dark
and rugged path of our earthly pill
grimage, but love is never dying
flame, whose light shall shine upon us
after we have reached our home. Faith
shall yield up its place to sight, and
hope shall give place to enjoyment, but
love shall never cease.

mother is likely to be polite to every

it can be perfect. The men, therefore,
who complain and fight on the ground
that injustice is done them by the fact
that some other men, in certain cir

vainly contending against the inevit-

The Bible, while preaching doc
trine of grace and salvation for sinners
through Jesus Christ, and thus offer
ing hope TO this guilty world, breaches
no salvation for those who live and die
in their sins, and no future probation
in which they can correct the mistakes
of this life. Men must accept the sal
vation of the gospel here, or, so far as
it is known, have no salvation at all.

Ava1nable Pnblication.

In these days of special publications
it is a rare treat to find one possessing
the artistic and literary merit of gen.
eraI literary magazine, while devoting
its energies chiefly to conveying intell-
igence of a special character. Such a
magazine is the West Shore, published
at Portland, Or, at the extremely rea-
sonable price of g so year. 1t dc
votes its attention mainly to engrav-
ings and descriptions of the industries,
resources, picturesque scenery, cities
and towns of Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, Montana, British Columbia and
Alaska. A large art supplement, in
colors or tints, accompanies each num-
Der. A special offer is made to those
who subscribe now for 1889. To all
such the September. October, Novem-
Der and December numbers of 1888 viii

Finding ,he Reni Mar.

Love sees the virtues that are of the
soul, hatred only the diseases of the
skin. "All men have their faults, and
stealing was Bill's," said weeping
widow over the corpse of desperate,
shot in attempted burglary. And gro
tesque, ludicrous as the expression may
seem, she was right. She knew that
not in the robber, the law breaker, the
outcast, did the real man shine forth,
but in those rarer moods of kindliness
and generosity when he was the true
friend and husband. Perhaps when
two enemies, who have refused to see
any good in each other on this earth,
meet hereafter IN another world, free
from the muddy vesture of decay
which clogs their vision here, the first
thought of each will be, SIS this the
beautiful soul that I maligned and
hated?''- Magazine

The boys and girls of the present day

with the boys aud girls Of tifty years
ago, that Is, II half the stories told by
the old folks concerning their child
hood days be tue. Then the young
folks had plenty of work, little school
ing, and no play. Now they have no
work, considerable schooling and lots
nf play. No one, perhaps, unless it be
il few old fogies, regrets that the good
old days. Of all work and no play have
E0ne, never more to return, but there
s..-.- nanny who seriously doubt that the
present system Of all play and no work
Is good one fer the youth of our land.
Girls do not have TO work nowadays
rs they used to in years gone by, and
hoys will not. There are individual
exceptions to this rule, of course, but
the rule still holds good. The general
prosperity of the country. which makes
ii no longer an absolute necessity that
the young must work or starve, is re-
Seonsible for this state of things, for
which all should be truly thankful.
Yet. notwithstanding this marked inn
provenent, the idle boy is quite too
numerous. 1t is not entirely the fault
of the boy that he is idle. 1t is scarce
~ probable that he is naturally more
iazy than his grandfather was, but
times are changed and circumstances
are different. There is but little work
for him TO do, poor boy, and so he loafs

the magnitude and size of Oregon and
Washington Territory, combined, as
compared with other States IN the
Union, especially our friends in the

parisons: Oregon and Washington Ter
ritory are larger than the states of
Name, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland,
New Jersey, Delaware and West Vir-

larger than North Carolina, South Car

square miles They are larger than
England, Ireland, Switzerland and

would make five states larger than

than Connecticut, or 132 states larger
