.SoAs Fa1lrS aBoUr OREGON.

Balancing the good and the bad,
the advantages and disadvantages
of the several States we find that no
ssone State has a monopoly of the good
things which are to be found this
side Of Paradise. Enough cannot
sbe said in favor of any locality to
cause a general hegira or an un-
warranted exodus from States
which have much TO recommend
them in point of soil, climate and
salabrity. The ideal realm-hunter
who mistakenly expects to find on
sthis coast an Eldorado is doomed
sto disappointment and regret, and
will find sooner or later that he is
pursuing delusive phantom.
Oregon roses have briars and the
bitter and sweet grow side by side.
The plow if allowed to stand un-
; used in an Oregon field will rust
just as surely as if the share were
covered with Kansas or even New
England soil. The man who has
but one arm viii be surprised to
find that the wheelbarrow, the hoe
and the spade of an Oregon farmer
are built with special reference to
t-two hands. Rail-splitting has not
yet advanced to that stage of per
fection in which the sledge and
wedges are thrown aside as obso-
saete. Nature has decreed th.t rust
shall follow disuse in all the States,
but in our own State the penalty
for laziness has been made doublv
strong by adding coat of moss.
The soil docs not flow with milk
and honey seven days in the week;
The former is the property of dill
gent farmers and the honey be-
3ongs to the working bees. The
race Is to the strong, and the weak,
the efieninate and the sluggish
cannot expect more than an even
start with the swiftest. Oregon
soil is productive, but volunteer |
crops are neither fashionable nor |
trustworthy. We have climate
that is conducive to longevity:
however. mortality tables shew that |
a few have died before reaching the
advanced age of Methuselah. To
all who are willing to risk their
lives in the presence of Indians
who have long since buried the
tofnahawk and can endure civil
