. 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

Coming. The Oregonian has infor

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,

' 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.

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.

national crime, and the national honor requires
the payment of the public indebtedness in the

And for this purpose, we favor atrict economy

as rapidly as the national faith will permit.

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."

GAY" PLOWS,
Manufactured and sold for the very low price of
65 nnd SyCS. "
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.
