"Drifting away from'each other, Silently drifting apart; Nothing between, butl the" cold worlds screen Nothing to lose but a heart. Onlv two lives dividing More and more every day, Unly one soul irom anomersoni Skadily drifting away. Only a man's heart striving Bitterly hard with its doom; Only a hand tender and bland , Slipping away in the gloom. Nothing of doubt or wrong, " Nothingth.it either can cure. Nothing to blame, nothing tojshame, Nothing to do but endure. The'world cannot stand still, Tides ebb and women change, Nothing here that is worth a tear, One love less nothing strange. Drifting apart from each other, Steadily drifting apart No wrong to each other that the world can reach .Nothing to lose but a heart." AWOIIAU'B ASSWER. Da you know you have asked 'or the cost liest thing Ever made by the hand above A woman's heart, and a woman's life, And a womnns wondeiful lovet Do, you know you have asked for this priceless thing. As a child might ask for "a toy, ilemanumgwliat tttners nave aica to win, With the reckless dash of a boy. You have written my lesson ot duty out; Man like you questioned me; Now stend at the bar ot my woman's soul Until I shall questioa thee. You require your mutton shall always be hot; Your socks and your shirts be whole; I require your heart to be true as wod's stars Aad pure as heaven your soul. You require a cook for your mutton and oeei; I require a far greater thing; A seamstress you're wanting for socks and ler shuts. I look for a man and a king A king for the beautiful realm called homf , And a man thai the Maker, God, Shall look upon as he did at first And say, "It is my Uod." I am fair andyoaDg, but the rose will fade From my soft vnng checks one dav; YiilyOU'Ieavexac tlien, 'mid the tailing leaves, -is yon did 'mid the bloom of May r . Is your hiart an ocean, so strong and deep 1 may launch my all on its tide? A loving woman finds heaven or hell On the day shu is made a bride. I require all things that aro grand and true All things "that a man should be; If you givo this all, 1 would stake my life To bj all you demand of me. If you cannot be this, a laundress andcoak You can hire, with little to pay; But a woman's heart and a woman's Jove Are not to be won that way. Treatment of Balky Horses A society for the prevention of cru city to animals racommeads the follow ing rales for ths treatment of balky horses: I. Pat the horse upon the neck, examine the harness carefully, first on one side then en ths otber, spfak encouragingly while doing so, then jump inte the wagon and givo the word go generally he will obey, 2. A teamster in Mains says he can start the worst balky horse by taxing him out of the shafts and making him go round in a circle. If the first danea does not cure him, the second will bo sure to do it. o. lo cure a hx:i horse simply place yonr hand over ths horse's nosa end shut off the wind till be wants to more; then let biru go. 4. 'Ihe trains of horses seem to enter tain but ohb idea at a time; thus con tinued whipping only confirms his stubborn resolve. If you can by any means givehis) a new subject to think of yon will have no trouble in starting him. A simple remedy is to take a couple of turns of stout twine around tbo fore leg, iust below the knee, and tie in a bow knot. At the first check he will go dancing off, and after going a short diitancs yon can get out and remove tho string to prevent injury in your further drive. That's it, exactly. Give him a new idea a new subject to think of. Bat just there is where the trouble comes in. A thoroughbred balky horse will stick to his hobby as pertinaciously as a modern politician, and it cannot be gotten out of him long enough to start kirn. At his own sweet will and pleas ore he will go, aad not before. An oli Oregonian says he always suspected no good would come of bor ing holss through the mountains to let in the cold from the Eastern States, aad bow he knows it. Such a storm as that of last week must have taken advantage of the tunnel in the moun tains to make its way so far west, for previous to the boring of tho tunnel, Oregonians were rarely disturbed by such unwelcome visitations. Dakota, as aState, The people of Dakota, with nearly a unanimous Tot, detira to bevadaiit ted as & Stats in the Union, bair rriihes will rrceiva the consent of tiia senate and th proper bills for thenr! admittance will pats tb body, but it will not be at all likely to pass ths hou'e, as it- has a large DdDioiratio majority who will endeavor to raisti objections to kehp it out not that that -they. have anj legitimate excuse only that' the Jerritor; is largely ET publican .and the aduiittaneo of the state would put two more Republicans in the senate and one member in the house, besides giving the party three more presidential electors to aid them in the ccntest of 1888. lliut Repub licans had besn so selfish and narrow minded there aia quite a numler of Democratic states would be shivering cut in the celd. The attempt to set up the falacious theory that Dakota has not inhabitants to entitle then to be admitted when the facts are, she has a greater population than any state heretofore admitted. It is hoped that enough members will be found in the house with sufficient coumgs to see that Dakota be allowed' all the privi leges in the confederation -that her population, wealth and position en titles her te. A Brand New Office Boy. He was a brand now office boy, joung, pretty faced, ith golden ring lets and blue eyes. Just such a boy as ons would imagine would bo taken out ef his trnndlo bed in the middla of the night and transported beyond the sta's. The first day he glanced over the library in the editori al room, became acquainted -with every one, knew all the printers, and went home in the evening fcs bappy and cherry as a sunbeam. The next day be appeared, leaned out of the back window, expectorated on a bald headed printer's pate, tied the cat uj) by tbo tail in the hallway, had four rights with another boy, borrowod two dollars from an occupant ef the build ing, saying hi. mother was dead, col lected his two days par from the eash ier, hit the janitor with a broom slick, pawned a cost beloning to a member of the editorial staff, wrenched the knobs off the doore, upset the ica cooler, pied three galleys of type, and smashed his finger in the small preis. On tho third day a note was received, saving: "Mi Mother do not want I to work in such a dull place. She says I Would make a good preacher, so Do I. my finger is Better; gone fuhin' Yours Till Deth do Yunk m." A petition is being gotten up to get aa increase in the pension of tho sur vivors of ths war of 1812 from 3 to $10. It should succeed. Following is the list-of those receiving pensions in Oregon.

An exchange observes: "Grant liked enchre, Hayes played 'aura,' Garfield was foad of whist, and Arthur knows ths value of three of a kind before the come in. But as for Cleveland, it is said he does know one card from another." Later in the game he may know how ts shuffle and cut. Agaia it is put before the people that the great city of London has more Iiish than Dublin, more Roman cath olics than Rome, and more Jews than Jerusalem. Is Oar Climate Changing? For several years tho ery has been "tLis is unusual weather for Oregon." And still the unusual weather comes en with esch returning winter season, onlr with eaeh succeeding year vitk 0itt! more ssveritv. So lonr has this continued that the belief is becoming prevalent that the climate is actually undergoing a radical change and that at least a scmbkaco of the winter severity oHbe western states has es tablished.jt&.tupremacyMa our'sTercto fore favored Oegen. ' Whether this is a fact or "not, it is clearly evident to, every person who has .shivered arounri. the fire, during the "cold spells" tiat'ehave had, that Oregon built houses are inadequate for the occasion, and that a rnaro thorough and systematic plan should be adopted. Tho idea of building houses with walls to open that the chill blasts can find ready ingrcsi, or setting the heusa up on stilts to that old Boreas has free re cess undirneath, and only a th'n floor, with plenty of interstices, to prevent his permeating tho whole building, is wholly preposterous and should bs guarded against in future buildings. While i: ia perhaps inadvisable to use a building material for dwelling houses,. that will require a compara tively solid wall, and thus insure damp ness in our m'oiit climatr, it is still necessary to have walls solid enough to exclude the cold and daaipaess. This cin be dens bv use of weed ma terial in a proper manner; making walls ni:h dead air chambers, and of sufficient solidity as to be impervious to the winds. If seasons continue with equal se verity with the past three or four,, tho people will be under actual necessity to adept such improved plans for building'. Washington, Dsc. 19. It has fre quently been remarked that .while . . Northern Congressional Districts sel dom return a member to Csngrrss more than two or three times, the Southern members come baek year after year, and seem to have an un limited lease of official life.- Judge Pavson, of Illinois, remarking upon this peculiarity, said: ''Tho Sou'heru members hold their places simply be cause tbey eeme hero to represent their constituencies, and are not ex pected to deal out places. No one thinks of asking a Southern Demo cratic member to sreuro a postoffice for him under Republican administra tion. In the Northern States the Re publican representative finds, as sooa as ho secures his seat, that he has thirty or forty little cffiitx assigned to him, and that there aro from twenty to one hundred applicants for every placn. He selects one, and the other ninety-nine at once turn against him and ths chances are that they will carry strength enough to cause his de feat. Now the North will have a rest for four years, and tho Southern men will find what a curse patronage is to a Congressman. I predict that within three years every Southern member will be heartily sick of patronage, and that the result of Democratic distribu tion of postoffices, etc., will bo that two-thirds of those Southern members who have served long terms will bs relegated to the ranks of tho superan nuated. Ths opponents- of ths interstate commerce bill threaten that if it is passed as now under discussion that every trunk lias of railroad will send every locomotive to their round houses and let (he business of the country take care ef itself until it is repealed. That would be a pretty kettle of fish, but it is a kind of' pooling; that no Congress eould forestall nor adminis tration head off and the railroads would come out pa top ture ss fate if they only had Che pluck to stand up to their threat. The Washington Monument has been thirty six years in building James K. Pelk laid the corner stone in 1848 and it is complete during the administration of C. A. Arthur in 18S, the same figures with slight re arrangement. Governor Kinkead, who is ia Wash ington city, reports the conditiea of Alaska as satisfactory, and calls at tention to the fact that liquor is being brought into ths territory contrary to I the law. i s"U ED 1 04.o
