The cast side road is ac tually graded for a distance of soventy miles. In this distanco the short inter vals nt untiuijilicd woik arc not includ ed, There remains about one thousand feet between Oregon City and Cnnemah to bo completed, and two or three short points near Roek Hand, With thesa exceptions the grading is finished near ly to the Santiajn river. 0 wino; to the rains this part ot the work has been discontinued for tho winter; but work will be carried ou with vigor in the company's mills and shops. A large saw-mill has been put in uporalion two miles east of .Milwaukie, which will run during the winter cutting ties for the road. The mill is every way complete and eiibilantial, and is expected to cut ties sufficient for half a mile ot road per day. It is established in an excell ent body of timber, and is doing good work. Another mill is being erected about one nnd a halt miles distant from ihu ono now in operation, which will be employed exclusively in cutting tim ber for bridges and trestle-work. It will be so constructed as to saw timber ono bundled feet in length, when such timber is required. As last ns sawn, the timber will bu framed and put to "ether, and as the track is laid it will be can ii'd to the places for which it U designated. It i intended to prepare at this mill all tho timber needed for tho road as far ai the head of tho Wall ntnel valley. A considerable force ol men are at woik in the ear shops near East INutland ; and nt all these daces the work will be continued without in terruption. About ono bundled and fifty men will be kept employed during the winter. It is tho intention to have the road ready for tho rails by the time the iron begin to ivach hire ill June nct. After the rain cvaic next spring the grading lorce will be ngaiu organ ized and thi part of the woik prosecu ted as last as the iron can bo furnished f ir the track.

Hqw oKcu do wo mistake the shad ow for tho substance I We imnginu that, so and so will be lor our happiness, nnd olteu only discover the falsity ol tho conception when tho red-hot iron of oxptrictico sears the flesh, and per haps leaves its scar on body and mind for life. There is no difference of opin ion among us as regards happiness b hig the great desideratum ; but there is a gicat dillereuco when we coruu to define in what happiness consists, the direction in which it lies, and the path to bo trod to reach it. This chaosity ot couceptiou is seen and exemplified in every life ; we Imvo only to look around us to bucomo convinced of this great diversity of opinion in the myri ad ot paths threaded daily by poor hu manity. Therein, perhaps, no eoucui vnblu war or direction, uo mutter how bad and vicious, that some erring nnd misguid ed child of Adam has not (rod, and is still treading in search lor happiness. How many of tho throng who rush along the path that points to wealth, in their mad and reckless hnstu to ac quire the yellow ore, havu wasted mind, worn out sinew mid muscle, and tram pled under foot the lowly mid tlio weak, as they stumbled by tho wayside, on ly to find that they have mistaken ttie path that happiness is not there. Ilow many havo trod tho pathway of llncciis, drunk deep of the intoxicating cup, nlas ! aiu still drinking a daik en rouso ot their owu weal, a hitter draught that is pregnnut with woo to uiiboiu millions ns well as themselves. How many havu trod the plain where the Goddess of Chance liuldn sway in her gilded halls, and staked liuuoi and estate, name and fame all, even life itself, ou the turn of a card or the throw of a die. It would seem that too inauy aro willing to do anything and everything, except the ono thing neceseary, their duty In tho position that providence baa placed them, It is a glorious thing to live, to live rightly. It is still moreglorious to die, to die with a coiieiousueis ol our duly dune in thai station ot life iu which it hns plunsed God to place us. It is tho Inverse of this that enables tho unthink ing to call this bright world a place ol muery,ditrkueVs and despair. In their qiieiulou'aiia.", these unhappy ones for get that they have infracted ihu law ; that tlley have diverged from that beautilul path on which is found noth ing liul peace, a peace that embodies the highest phasu of happiness that u man eati grasp in this primary state ot being, and ia graped by few. They forget that they havo done those things that they ought not to havu done. They forget that Providence lias made laws for our government that are un mistakable; that to diverge from them ia disease, and to still farther relract is death; that these laws ulwuys exact ihu penally forllielntraellon.niid then is no,uppeal. It aviiils nothing to idead ignorance; the crime is committed, and the penally will surely follow. Wis dom, though it may do something in the eleventh hour of our ciisteucc, in mitigating the pain and agony of the punishment, is limited. No mortal can violate these immutable laws with im punity j and no amount of knowledge wilt enable him to avoid though it may reduce, the payment of the bill drawn by uattlie ou (fie bii'V ot hUexisteuce.
