A W0man's opinion Of Nan.

Mrs. Duniway, of the NelC
Northwest, at q literary reunion at
Salem, Oregon, toasted the gen
tlemen as follows:
"God bless 'em! They have
. our joys, they double our sorrows,
they treble our expenses, they
quadruple. our. cares, they excite
our magnanimity, they increase
our sclf.respect, they awake our
enthusiasm, they arouse our af-
fections, they control our property,
and out maneouvre us in every.
thing. This would be avery drealy
world without EN-. In fact, / may
say, it would not be much of a
world, anyhow. We love 'em, and
the dear beings can't help it; we
we control EN-, and the precious
fellows don't know it.
Gas husbands, they are always
convenient, though not always on
hand; as beaux, they are by no
means 'matchless.' They are
most agreeable visitors; they are
handy at State fairs..and indispen,
sible at oyster saloons. They are
splendid as escorts for some other
fellows wife or sister, and as
friends, they ure far better than
womenA AS our fathers, they are
inexpressibly grand. A man may
be a failure IN business, q wreck
in constitution, not much to boast
OF as q beauty, nothing as a wit,
less than nothing as u legislator
for woman's rights, and even not
very brilliant as o member of the
press; but if he is our own father,
We overlook his shortcomings and
cover his peceadilloes with the di-
vine mantle of charity. Then as
our husbands, how we love to pa
rade them as paragons! In the
sublime language of the inspired
poet:
Wen lie for them,
Wen cry for them,
Aud five could, we'd fly for them
Ned anything but die for them.

Plagiarism.

Our talented friend Capt L. Z

some young man the following
! wholesome advice under the above
heading:
We received for publication this
week as an original composition,
one of Lord Byroas !i@es, poems.
The loye.lorn youth who attempt
this fraud is rcmanded to his mem
my's apron strings, My dear boy
you should reflect that it is an ed
tors duty to know every thing and
that lie is the hardest man to fool
in the world. Bat the idea Of put
ting your own initials to y well
known poem by Lord Byron and
attempting to pass it as your own,
indicates u degree of verdancy
that is extraordinary in this day
and time. Judging from your
handy writing you arc at least six
teen years old and have had some
advantages ofeducation and ought
to know better. The lesson we
arc now teaching you, we know is
severe but it will do you good.
Chou shalt not STEAL" is one of
Gods commands, and applies to
literature as well as hogs. Write
and send us something original
and we will gladly publish it. We
will suggest to you as q subject.

ing Of the Noru, its derivation DC,

low as q plagiaIist-think of your
own attempted sin and you will
then be somewhat prepared to in.

You probably will not take this
advice and We therefore will give
you this parting injunction: Gull
