S easonable H ints .—Never allow
yourself to become a delinquent sub
scriber to a paper. Pay in advance is
always acceptable.
Don’t ask the editor to insert a puff
of your business without paying for it
like a little man.
If you have business with any of the
tvpos don’t call during composition
hours, for they are then earning their
bread and do not like to be disturbed.
Never borrow your neighbor’s pa
per. If in straightened circumstances
save up four bits a day until you get
enough to pay the price of subscription.
Don’t dictate to an editor how to run
his paper.

Like a tired, wounded bird, she has
fluttered down upon her pillow, and
rest, and sleep, and peace eternal, en-
wrap her as with a mantle.
Yes; little “Teenie” sleeps. The
weary lids sweep the soft babv cheeks
with their silken lashes, veiling the
beautiful eyes that shall never again
be lifted in such wistful pleadings.
The busy little feet are quiet now;
side by side they lie at rest, and for
ever glad, perchance, to be thus early
freed from the weary, tramp, tramp of
life’s restless march.
The dusky winged angel of death
bent to ktss the once rosy lips of little
“Teenie,” and not all the warmth and
fervor of earthly love can break the
seal of silence left upon them.
Higher and higher, nearer and near
er, crept the chill waves of the dark
river, until they lapped the sides of
the little crib, and out upon the moan
ing waters, like a lily afloat, drifted
the spotless soul of little “Teenie.”
Out into the mysterious unknown,
of which we know nothing—save that,
for such as she, the arms of God’s in«-
finite love are ever extended and with
drawn not, until the little traveler
rests in safety “Where the tender
shepherd guards with care the lambs
of the upper fold.”
Over the threshold so often crossed
by those ever restless little feet, ten
der hands have borne the beautiful lit
tle sleeper, and under the home roof,
so hallowed by her sunny presence,
has crept tho shadow of death; and
Oh! in all this wide world there is no
shadow so dark as that thrown by a
little child’s tiny casket.
Here lie the little dainty robes and
the forsaken toys; the empty crib—
empty, alas ! like tho mother’s heart
and mother’s arms, and neither shall
ever again know the presence of that
sunny little head.
Oh! lonely, weeping mother, for
you—not for the happy dead, shall our
warm tears fall. Faraway from home
and kindred, in the distant land of
your adoption, tho shadow of deatli
lias fallen upon you. For you should
we sorrow most. Little “Teenie” has
gone home; loved ones who crossed
the river before have welcomed her
on the other side.
Then slumber softly on thy flower
gemmed couch, O.’ little sleeper,
Short as thy stay has been, it shall not
have been in vain. Frail as were those
beautiful little hands,.they shall clasp I
through all the years to come. The
shining love chain, that is slowly short
ening link by link, shall draw the
waiting ones thither, and in tho
“sweet bye and bye” the loved treas
ure shall lie restored to tho hearts so
sadly bereft.

JACKSONVILLE.
FEAT.
The Cork Constitution on the 22d
of October has the following : “On
yesterday a most extraordinary feat
was performed by an American gen
tleman named l’aul Boyton, who, by
the aid of a newly invented swim
ming apparatus, has swam a distance
of upwards of seventeen miles. Boy
ton was a passenger from America by
the national steamer Queen and it ap
pears he joined the steamer at New
York with the intention of lowering
himself into mid-ocean a couplp of
hundred miles off Sandy Hook, in a
life-saving apparatus which has re
cently been invented by a man named
Merryman. The apparatus consists of
a trowsers, with a spripg bolt, and a
tunic covering the upper portion of the
body. There are air-apartments in
the machine, the object being to keep
the wearer afloat. The position which
the wearer is to assume on reaching
the water is to float on his back, and
the apparatus is then worked by a pair
of paddles, one on each side, on the
principle of the canoe. Equipped in
this apparatus, Boyton intended, as
we have already mentioned, to enter
into mid ocean about 200 miles off the
Eastnet, but when the captain of the
Queen became aware of his intention,
he point blank refused to allow him to
carry it out, but promised to allow
Boy ton to make his experiment on the
Irish coast. The steamer arrived off
the Irish coast on last night about nine
o’clock, when, in opposition to the cap
tain and all on board, Boyton equipped
himself in his apparatus, and set out
seven miles off the Fastnet. The seal
at the time was running very high
and tho wind blowing very strongly,
rain coming down in torrents, so that
frequently, before Bovton had per
formed his task, he had to shade his
face with his hands to protect it from
a heavy rain that was falling. He
worked away with his puddles for some
time, floated and drifted along alterna
tively, until he had been about six
hours at sea, when seeing an owning
between two great rocks, he steered
for it and drifted ashore on a sand-spit.
He lit signals with a view of attract
ing attention, but they were not re
sponded to. He, however, by the aid
of their light, succeeded in gaining
high ground, where he lighted three
signals more, but still receiving no re
sponse, he broke off on a road, and
soon after arrived in Skibbereen via
Baltimore. In both places he was
treated with much kindness by the
I coast guards.

Mr. S. A. Seymour, of Portland, who
last year commenced the business of
grading and packing wool in Oregon,
has commenced operations again with
even more vigor. Last year ho suc
ceeded in packing a great deal of wool,
but parties did not have it thoroughly
graded and marked. The advantage
of having it well packed is obvious
enough, and so is the necessity of hav
ing our wool properly graded and
placed before the world as Oregon
wool, and so establish a State charac
ter and grade, instead of having it
shipped to California and go from
there as California wool, as has been
the case heretofore. Mr. Seymour will
grade and pack it for the responsible
price of 5-8 of a cent per pound, which
includes all the expense to be incurred.
He gives a guarantee that the Eastern
markets will recognize the grade and
pay the market price therefor, and it
seems to us the ad vantages to result
should secure for him the packing and
grading of a great portion of the pres
ent year’s clip. At present our wool
goes to market with all the dirty tags
included. Wool is wool, and coarse
wiry hair and finer fleeces are bundled
together and shipped, so that the buy
er, can form no correct idea of the
contents of bales, whereas a proper sys
tem of grading would exclude the dirt
ami classify the fleeces as they de
serve. That would take the conceit,
to be sure, out of the man whose flock
was badly bred and whose wool was in
ferior, but it would secure a suitable
reward for the wool producer who de
served to be paid for superior excel
lence. It would, furthermore, secure
to Oregon a name and place as a wool
producing State, and any degree of ex
cellence we might be able to attain
would be fully credited to us.— Fanner.

the above named paper remarks that
the old man’s indomitable soul and
stalwart forirt refuse to bow under the

about the foothills of the Cascades like
a gigantic arid imperishable Genius of
