For Uie poor he'd presch-for Uie poor he'd plan,
To bettor them he is willing
But Uie oldest nun who has heard him pmy,
And preach for the poor Iu a pitiful way,

necessary to cull out the murines and sailors serving
in the Pacific sipiudrou to serve on shore, and i
large number of salts wore accordingly placid un

of their "shore fights," as Jack termed it, a body
of "llrcascrs" were discovered firing from large

in order to effect un entrance, the murine officer In
command of the salts gave the order ''By tho right

Three Important Fecit.
Never be influenced by external appcaranco
in forming your judgment of a person's
worth. Tbis is an important rulo, for many
a noble spirit is covered ly liabilimenta of
the .worst kind.- Uean wm sam mai
nature bas given every man a capacity of
being agreeable, though not of shining in
eomnanv : and "ihore are a hundred men
Mifiiriflnilv Qualified for both, who, by
very few fault, that thoy may correct iu half
an hour, are not so much as tolerable,. I lie
world would be more happy if persons gave
up more time to an intercourse of friendship.
But money engrosses Jill our deferenco j
and we scarce enjoy a social hour, because
we think it unjustly stolen from the main
business ef life.
Be a Whole Man.
The lato Jolm Joseph Gurney. whose
memory is still fragrant among all good
people, in writing n short letter of counsel
to his sons at school, pave them this senten
tious injunction: "Ho a whole man in
everything. At Latin, be a wholo man to
Latin; at eeomctry orhistcry, boa whole
man to creometrv or history : nt play, bo a
whole man ntplay ; at washing and dress
in?, bo a whole man at washing and dress
ing; above all, .at meeting (that is at church)
be a wholo man to worship." Nearly all tho
dillcrcnco amon; men as lo force, and ltillti
enco of character, aro lo be attributed to
the obsorvnnco or neglect of tho spirit of
this maxim. A man may nave oniy n
thimblo full of brains, yet if ho will put
them all nt the object lie lias in haml una
only nt that, it is wonderful what ho will ef
fect. Mormutum in physics, properly
directed, drive a tallow candle through nn
inch board; just so will couceutralion
being a wholo man at whatever ono under
takes causes oven n poor weakling to leave
the mark upoti his ngn.
True Vollleness.

salvation. Tlicy aro God 'i miuiste rs, God'a
agents to cruide our souls in tho right way,
And bo tells us that wo should esteem them
highly for their work' sake.
As christian men we fed in our secret
soul that our ministers are in the line of their
duty in battling with tho monster vice
around us. We feel that they work
for the improvement of morals as well as
the advancement of religion, that they mutt
combat intemperance and vice every whore
and always, that they must strive to dry up
the fountains of debauchery, that they mutt
tench men duty, whether moral, political, or
religious, and that they must speak out
fully and boldly, whothor mon will henr or
whether they will forbear. Such is their
call, and we should honor and sustain them
in it.
But for the honest and faithful perform
ance of their personal and ministerial du
ties in theso things they' are assailed by do
signing and infidel politicians, with wither
ing,abuso nnd vituperation.
Christian inen, should wo stand by nnd
encourago theso assaults on God's heralds of
hope to the world !
' Should wo sustain by our votes a party,
and parly men, who for tho small conside
ration of party ends, would crtish into infa
my ourown religious teachers ? Pause and
reflect l Let theso clergy-haling editors,
anil politicians, succeed in bringing into dis
reptito our gospel ministers, our bible and
our religion, and on what dreary shore shall
wo hopo to land our frail bark . as christian
freemen t
IIow can wo thus join hands with corrupt
bud men 1 That unthinking infidels and
bad men should sustain a clergy-hating fac
tion in power, is quito natural, but that
thoughtful moralists, nnd especially sincere
christians should do so is absolutely astoun
ding.
Is it not indicative of a very low state of
religious feeling and Sentiment that church
members will vote for men who habitually
vilify the churches ministry? Come out
and be yo separate from all such God-li8ting
men. Prove yourselves to be on tho Lord's
si lo by sustaining his cause.
Eschew evil, mid wash your hands from
all connexion with the corrupt faction which
assumes to control every ihing both reli
gious and political iu Oregon. Quit JOU
like christian men. KIRKMAN.

the Tostmastcr at Portland send the mail by

air. j. tv.AM.M-Dear Sir : Capt. Mur
ray did not come to mo on yesterday and
ask to take up the Oregon City mail, nor
am i ever refuse to let hun have it, nor did
I ever tell Capt Murray that you had left
orders not to deliver il to him, as you had
never said any thing to me on the subject.
A. Tw SniTLEV, P. M.
The foregoing will explain itself, and
serve to clear up any misapprehension in
reference to this matter, which may have
been entertained by our citizens.
For fear of any wrong impressions being
made, we will here state that the "complaint"
alluded to, as having been made to us did
not come from Capt. Murray, as we never
heard him say any thing in reference to this
matter.

Tho toaincr Goliath arrived at Gardiner
on the 20th f last month with about 78
tons of frieght for thi place. Tho whooner
Loo Choo, also came in on tho nme da
with a full freight, business, which has
been quitodull during tho winter and spring,
is uow looking up and we havo reason to
hope for a good trade this summer, Some
persons who came in from Jacksonville a
day or two since report a large number of
wagons bound in for froight from that place
aud Yrcka. A coneidoruble portion of tbe
freight on the Goliah belonged to Jackson
ville parties, and it i said that the mer
chants of that place will in future ship via
Scottsburg instead of Crescent City. Tbj
Military road is now nearly completed, and
by the first of June wagons heavily loaded
will pass the whole length of the route to
Hogue river. . . .
Gen. Lane visited this place a short time
ago and made a speech which was Intended
to rcconcifo hi frionds, but I think he 'only
partially succeeded. There are a good
many "sore heads" among tho democrat,
and if Gaines would come down here and
promise half that Lane did, he would get a
strong vote.
Wo are living in hopes of ocean mail
scrvico soon. Lano assured mo that the
steamer might be looked for daily. The
excess of his enthusiastic admiration for tho
place (it was his first visit) probably led him
to be more sanguine than he othorwiso
would have been, and if we see the first
steamor by next fall wo will bo satisfied.

Woman, permit me to say, is the mystery as
well as Uie masterpiece of God's creation . When
she is true woman she is channjpg under all cir
cumstances. But her sphere is endurance rather
than action ; and accordingly nature has gifted
her with fortitude far surpassing our. . She beat
answers Um ordinary purposes of her creation, s
well as best serves her own happiness by making
herself as agreeable as possible ts our rougher sex.
Thi can only be effected by means of th softer
graces tnd ocomphshment; for, I take it, there is
no object more unnatural, and, therefore, more re-
voiung to true man than a masculine woman-
.uj wea ceruuniy is to giv her such as edocoiiosi
as will best develop the peculiar choreas and char
acteristics of her sex. I should treat a young girl
with great tenderness. Give her sack, physical
training tr. j, necessary for her health. 1 like to
