Reciprocal Laws.

From "the continuing woods where rolls the
Oregon" comes deposit of $4,000 for the better
protection of the policy holders of that sterling
fire and marine insurance company, of Port
land, backed by Messrs. Failing, Corbett Laid,
Lewis, Reed, White, Cook, Gill and others
whose names are well known in this state as
synonyms for solidity and success. The Oregon
is obliged to make this deposit by reason OF the
laws OF its own state, which requires the COM
panies OF other states TO deposit like sum in
that state before being allowed to DO business
there. Washington merely reeiprocates, l. e.,
requires a deposit from the companies of such
other states as require deposits. Whether such
q law is based on common sense or not we are
not disposed to decide, but the fact exists that
this company having made its deposit with the
state treasurer, should be really stronger in the
confidence of our people than other companies
with greater assets, but having no deposit
here. Messrs. H. f. Whitney & Co. represent
the Oregon IN this city.

Kipling "A young man" she observes,

BOHEMIA'S LAND.

Did you ever hear OF ''Bohemias Land?
Which is the way from the crowded city,
To a land of shadow and silent peace,
Where women can love and men can pity;
And tears from sorrowing eyes may cease?
For the toiling town is harsh and hollow,
And hate points eastward, envy west;
Tho many may fall, yet some will follow
To q home of dreams and the haven rest.
For the love of heaven stretch forth your hand
And point the way 10 Bohemia's land.
Where are the fields aud their emerald cover,
The wayside flowers ard the travelling cart,
The new-found love and the long-tried lover?
They are better by far than our feverish art.
We are sick unto death OF lealousy's fetter,
The secret dagger, the ceaseless strife.
There's triumph in fame, but freedoms better
So give us q taste OF u wandering life
The senses sicken as fancy's hand
Paints endless love III Bohemias land.

Bohemia,s WAYS are strewn with flowers

Her children freed from the revel of wine:
Her dust is slackened by sweetened showers,
Meath covering trees they toast and dine.
When care creeps close, why away they wander
To seek whatever the mind loves best;
For hope endures when the heart seeks yonder
purer life and surer rest
How many despise, but how few Withstand
The ceaseless joys OF Bohemas land.
To the fields away; for nature presses
On toi!ing foreheads balmy kiss;
There il nothing so sweet as her wild caresses,
No love more full to the lips than this.
God grant, my brothers, when all is over,
And holiday hours cut short by fate,
That the sense of flowers and the scent of clover
May soften sorrow and silence hate
Old time soon measures the fatal sand.
And the curtain falls on Bohemias land.
