Newspaper Page Text. The Cobbler's Secret. A waggish eoliler once, in Rome, Pat forth a proclamation. That he'd be willing to disclose, For a duo consideration, A secret which tbo cobbling world Could ill afford to lose The way to make in one short day A hundred pair of shoes. From every quarter to the sight There ran a thousand fellow?, . Tanners, cobblers, boot-men, shoe-men, Jolly leather sellers, All redolent of beer and smoke ! And cobbler's wax and hides: Each fellow pays his thirty pence, And calls it cheap besides. Silenco.1 the cobbler enters, And casts around his eyes ; Then curls hisjip the rogue! -then frowns And then looks wondrous wise. "My friends." he says, " 'tis simple quite, The plan I do propose ; And every one of you, I think. Might learn it if you chose. A good sharp knife is all you need, In carrying out my plan ; So easy is it, none can fail. Let him be child or man. To mako a hundred pair of shoes : Just go back to your shops. And take a hundred pair of boots And cut off all the tops." Wheat. -Since tho appreciation of wheat, we notice tliat it lias been com ing in to our mills a.t alively rate. Some of our farmers, having the entire crop of last season on hand, are now reaping the benefit of "holding over." Coming. The Oregonian has infor mation that twenty or twenty-five persona will leave Minnesota for Oregon the present season. They bring with them an aggregate capital of half a million dollars. Oregon has use for just such peopl. Let them come. . . ' Delegate Nominated. After a ses sion of eight days, the Democratic Con-' Tention of Idaho, on the 10th inst., on the eighty-ninth ballot, succeeded in nominating Col. S. A. Merrit as candidate for Delegate to Congress. The vote stood Merrit 21, Shafer 15, Beatty'5. Col. Merrit is a Virginian by birth, and has been a resident of Idaho Territory for seven years. Grand Lodge. The Grand Lodge I. O. O. F. for the State of Oregon, closed its annual session in Portland on Friday evening, May 20, 1870. Georgia. The crops in Georgia are suffering; from drouth. Atlas Supporting the Heavens. This fable most probaly arose from At las J he celebrated king of Mauritania, being the inventor of the sphere, from his knowledge of astronomy, and from of ten observing the mysteries of the heav . enly bodies on the top of that mountain. Or it may be a literal impersonation of Atlas being changed into the mountain of the same name, which runs across the desert of Africa from east to west, and 13 eo high that the ancients thought the heavens rested on its summit. Again, Atlas is described as one of the sons of the rebellious Tita"n, Iapetus, for whose sin he was compelled to stand forever at the extreme west, and to bear upon his shoulders the solid vault of heaven. In the Museo ISorbonico at Naples is a kneeling statue of Atlas sustaining the celestial globe, from the Farnese collec tion ; a very interesting monument of Roman art, and one of great value to the student of ancient astronomy. Of the forty-seven constellations known to the ancients, forty-two may be distinctly re cognized. The date of this curious sculp ture is fixed as anterior to the time of Hadrian by the absence of the likeness of Antinous, which was ioserted in the con stellation Aquila by the astronomers of that period. t We have received a new publication called the Annual from Hudson & Menet, Advertising Agents, No. 41 Park Row, New York City. It is a work of oyer ' two hundred pages, containing statistical information for the use of advertisers; and a full list of newspapers and periodicals published in the United States, and all the rest of the civilized world, including Japan and China. We consider Hud son & Menet the most reliable advertis ing agents in the Atlantic States, at least, such is our experience. The particulars of the eruption of the , volcano of Ceboruco in Mexico have been received. 1 The eruption increased in vi- 'cutcf mvs mm pouring aown tn moun - tain sides in streams, the air was stifling, and the ashes from thn covered the roofs of houses over an inch deep. The mountain sides and surround ing country had been abandoned by the inhabitants. , , Capt.

" Reflections on a Sabbath Eve. " The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord."' How much of the lofty "i am," do we discover in the ample volume of nature. In every emerald leaf that gaily flutters in the breeze, in the green velvet carpet which overspreads the face of nature, in the beautiful flowers of rainbow hue, which adorn the gardens, savannas, delN and sylvan shades ; we see the finger of Infinite Love and Omnipotent Wisdom, which' orders all things, and feel that He is the sublime and Omnipresent Creator, " Who doeth according to his will in the armies of heaven, and among the inhab itants of earthgood unto all" eto. And how manifest is the universal and impartial distribution of beneficence to the erring and needy creatures of earth ! Look abroad upon the brilliant king of day, are not his beams shed alike on the splendid dome of royalty and the humble cot of poverty ? Observe yon descending shower I Does it not water the arid vineyards of the evil and the good ? -And with what unison are the Planetary sys terns directed in there course I And also the seasons perform their revolutions with the nicest punctuality! -And from the loftiest seraph of Elysium, to the meanest insect ot the dust, all, all Uil their sphere, and are supplied with every needed want. He feedeth the atrial tribes, and clothes the lilies of the leas. And if our Heav enly Father supplies all the mundane wants of his sentient creatures, which, he declares, are of more value than the spar row, and lilies of the field, to which he extendeth munificent token of his care; if he cherish and decorate these perishing forms, which soon must be decomposed ; will he not, in parental love, provide for our immortal spirits, which - shall exist throughout the wasteless ages of eternity? Notwithstanding we enjoy every requisite blessing in time, there ia nothing in the vast domain of nature, which can give a satisfactory response ' to his ' momentous query. Nothing in her brightest scenes that reflects a beam upon, or points to a fairer and sublimer existence, beyond the sombre portals of the tomb. Nothing which, can assure us of a resurrection to endless life and glorious beautitude? BiSt blessed be our Heavenly Father, we are not left in Pagan shadows and doubt on this all important point. The brilliant Sun of the Gospel beams upon all this darkness! It scintillates when other lights have grown "dim, to cheer and guide, never to alllure and destroy It is the lamp of a Father'sundyiug love. It says, " Let not your hearts be troubled take no thought for the morrow." Here is sweet consolation and uudecaying hope. Here are leaflets that never wither, for they bloqni in Paradise. The Son of the Gospel is risen never to decliuc, but will irradiate the whole moral universe ere it withdraws its brilliant beams, or is ab sorbed in the fathomless ocean of infinite love. Let man awake to lore, and raise - Harmonious songs of heavenly praise, To his Eternal Sire ; Ye lovely youth, and blooming fair, Your Maker's boundless love declare, And praise him with your lyre. Seven Sins. 1. Refusing to take your own county paper. 2. Taking a paper and then not pay- ; ing for it. 3. Not advertising. ! 4. Getting married and forgetting the printer. 5.

" " THE attention of persons contemplating in suring their lives, or increasing tho amount of insurance they already have, is called to the special advantages offered by the NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE ADVANTAGES OFFERED ARE: The National charter, the lorge capital, the Low Rates, the common-sense plan, the definite contracts, tho honorable and fair dealings, the Non-Forfeiting Policies, the perfect security, tho liberal Terms of the policies, etc., etc., rend ers the NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COM PANY of the United States of America worthy of the patronage of every busines man. This company, during the sixteen months of its existence, has issued - 8,825 POLICIES, . COVEHISO $26,800,000 INSURANCE. The extraordinary rapid progress of tho com pany attests the estimation in which it is held by the public, and the largo amount of new business transacted it is the best evidence of the popular ity of its principles, nnd its adaptability to meet tho requirements of its Assurers. ITS POLICIES ARE NEGOTIABLE. By the Charter of the Company, certificates of obligations will be issned, agreeing to purchase it policies at their value which, when accompa nied by the policy duly assigned or transferred, arc negotiable and may be used as collateral se curity, in making loans from the Company or from other parties. The Hen. Jno. E. Sanford, Insurance Commis sioner of Massachusetts, in his Report for 1888, speaking of Dividends in Life Insurance Compa nies, says , " The sooner such guarantees cease to bo made, and such expectations created, the sooner Life Insurance will come to rest on its true motive, and men insure their lives for security, and not for dividends.. The best and tho most popular companies will then be those that prom ise only equity, and render all that they promise, and furnish the best security, with the sabst up right and judicious management." " By the Stock plan the full cash effect of the premium is immediately secured to the insured, the Company taking all the risk. By the Mu tual plan, the full value in insurance of tho pre mium paid, is not secured to the policy-holder, who takes a portion of the risk himself."

" THE simplicity aud practicability of this new Plow commends it favorably to the special notice of every farmer. It possesses a decided superiority over all other plows now in use. The wheels are four feet in diameter, and run on the unplowed land. Its entire construction is in no way complicated. The plow is managed in every manner with ease, and requires only two levers to be used in making any alteration. The supe riority of the "Gay" Plow will be clearly shown by the following certificate s , We, the undersigned, citizens of Linn county, Oregon, having purchased and used upon our farms tb "Gay" Plow, hereby certify that the same has given as entire satisfaction. -Its facility for adju-tiog to suit the depth of furrow without moving from the seat, is simple and easy. We like the plow for its draught, because the same is brought to bear directly upon the plow-beam in stead of the carriage ; also, because it is . strong and durable, all except the wood-work being con structed of wrought iron no ea tings are used. The wheels running upon the solid land is an ad vantage over other gang-plows, in striking off land and in plowing, not having to make the nec essary changes in the machinery, and the seat is always level, not thr wiug tho driver forward or sideways as in other plows. Better work and more of it can be accomplished by the use of this Plow than by hand. We take pleasure in recommending the "Gat" Plow to our brother farmers,-as one having no superior In Oregon. J. G.
