April, 1880 THE QUAKER'S METHOD. An inveterate drunkard once asked :i Quaker whether he knew of a method Whereby he could cure ins dominant vice. "Friend," answered Broadbrim, "it is as easy as keeping thine hand open." "How is that ?" said the drunkard ; "every man can keep his hand open, but as to abstaining from liquor, that's quite a different thing." " 1 will tell thee," quoth the Quaker; " when thee has gotten a glass of gin in thine hand, and before thou dost raise the tempting liquor to thy lips, open thine hand W keep it open ! Tbee breakest the glass, but thee bl eakest not the law s of sobriety." That indefatigable worker, the pub lisher of the WEST SllORB, Portland, announces what he calls a "mammoth number," to appear in July. Special pains will be taken to render this issue brimming full of rare attractions. Prep arations are already being made for the fulfillment of this grand project, and we expect that the WEST SHORE for July, iSSo, will eclipse anything of its kind ever published north of San Frnn- CISCO. Original essays, poems, scien tific selections, and engravings of local interest, will make up its sparkling pages, I'nlike many other popular journals Of the day, this periodical is just as essentially a magazine for the lamtly circle as the general reader and savant, Mr. Samuel is the acknowl edged pioneer in this field of literary work on this part of the const, and justly deserv es encouragement.--Olvm- piii Standard The Oregon Pioneer's reunion takes place in this city, on the 15th of June. 1 ins is also the Uth anniversary of the signing of the treaty settling the bound ary line between Great Britain and the United States, and which made Oregon I nited States territory.
