0 O O Mt i t:1 ; Softer Lip Kiss Thee to Rest. 1 Other arms shall twine around thee, Other lips shall meet with thine. Other voices greet thee fondly, For thou never canst be mine, Other hearts may love and cherish, Others worship at thy shrine, But with me thy smiles shall perish, I must every thought resign. Other smiles shall beam upon thee, Other hands shall smooth thy hair; Other whispers breathe " I love thee," Thou shalt be another's care. When the silver moonlight brightens Thou shalt seek another's breast. Sweeter words thy soul shall lighten, Softer lips kiss thee to rest. Ere the leaves of autumn wither, Ere the cold winds sweep the skies, I shall have forgot forever The effulgence of thine eyes ; Thou shalt be as one that never Refined supreme within my heart ; Every" sacred tie shall sever, Every tender smile depart. IIop-gkowixg. A correspondent lately presented the Rural New Yorker the fol lowing as the method of hop-growing in Kent, England: The plants are raised from the cutting of the old stocks, made in the spring. Every cutting should have three joints. These cuttings or sets are planted in rows, With the two lower joints below the sur face of the soil, about three inches apart in the rows, and the latter one foot apart. If the ground ia clean, they need but little attention the first season. The fol lowing spring the sets are taken up and ' planted in the yard. To set out a yard right, the planter requires as many small sticks one foot long as he will have hills. A land-measuring chain is the best thing to lay out the hills. Take white or red paint and mark on the chain six feet apart. A cord or garden line will stretch O o as to bring the hills at unevan dis tances apart. Our hop yards are all t rlnnhi1 w ith the hills six feet apart. The Bmall stocks are placed in the ground by the marks of paint on the chain. The next thing done is to prepare the soil in the hills lor planting. Dig the hill up one foot deep, and mix a shovelful of well-rotted manure with the soil ; place the stick in the center of the hill ; then jdant the sets, three in every hill, in a slanting direction, the tops of the sets O close together on the surface, with the upper joints a little above grdund ; the roots of the sets are trimmed pretty close before planting. The young gar dens, as we call them in England, are not poled the first year, as it is said to weaken the stalk. Two stakes, six or .eight feet long, are sufficient the first year. The second year, two poles, four teen or sixteen feet long, are set. If the poles are cut shorter, three are put to a hill. They are placed firmly in the ground, one foot from the center of the hill. The land is dug with potato-forks every spring and the old vines are cut off with a knife. The space between the hills is cultivated with horse cultivators three times during the sifihmcr, and the hills are rounded up with five or six shovelfuls of earth about midsummer. The hop is known to be ripe by the leaves closing and the inside of the leaf beincr covered with a bright yellow sub stance. The hops are packed by the poor or .London and large towns, who grow - fat and healthy during this merry season. Every Slav's picking is taken to the dry ing-house and dried on a tightly-stretched clotS made of horse hair. Great care- is taken in drying not to scorch or overdry them. Brimstone is burned to give them a deeper yellow color. When the hops ar dried they are shoveled into a eool- . ing-roora and packed in bags 7 s leet long and G feet round, holding about 160 pounds per bag. A dry loam or gravel soil suits hops best. They will not thrive on wet land Sheltered vales, if the land is drained. suits best, as the wind often injures the crops A ton per acre is a good tair crop ; 3.000 pounds a large crop. One more thing the vines are trained to the poles by tvinsr them with rushes. Ihis is wo men's work, and is fine, healthy exercise, giving them rosy cheeks. Beet Root Sro.vit. The following facts and figures relative to the productions of beet-root sugar in i ranee are taken trom a very carefully compiled publication. now in its twenty-second year which con tains in a small compass a vast amount of valuable matter, -and of which the vol- umn for the past year has not long been published. The number of manufactories in atioii is siven at 3GG or 27 less than in the preceding year. The total quantity of sucrar nroduced during the campaign of 1SU 1-65, as it is called that is, during the twelve months ending with August last was 108,466 tons, or 65,210 tons less r 4hnn in the nrecediner year.

Subject fou Scientific Investigation. The OreaonUtn savs, several times recent ly the kerosene lamp chimneys used in our office, have exploded in a most unac countable manner. For instance : last evening just before dusk one of them was beard to snap and the broken glass to fly with considerable force against the reflector above and the case below. An immediate examination showed that an oval piece was thrown out from one-side of the chimney just at the swell, about two inches -wide and three inches 'long. The chimney was, otherwise, uninjured, but of course, useless. No one was in the room, aud the lamp had not been lighted, trimmed or touched for more than fifteen hours. The oil was nearly exhausted in the reservoir. A few days ago, another chimney burst in the same manner pre cisely, though in that case the lamp had been filled and trimmed about fifteen minutes before, but had not been lighted. In the last mentioned case, the chimney fitted tightly on the lamp, but in the other cose, it wasperfectly loose barely stand ing upon the lamp, without however. Roughing anything che ASTORIA LOT SALE. The proprietor of the town of Astoria, in order to pay his debts and carry forward his improvements, offers to the public the greater part of the unsold lots within the corporate limits, on terms that will arrest attention and tempt investment. The property will-be divided into six hun dred parcels, and distributed among the purchasers by lot. One-half the parcels will be single lots, no one of which is worth less than $7Q, and many of them are worth $75 and 100 each, at the present selling rates. The other half will be prize parcels of two, four and six lots each, and single lots rang ing in value from one hundred to six hun dred dollars, and one house and lot valued at one thousand dollars, and one new cottage residence of eight rooms (not all finished), with stone cellar under the whole, together with three lots, all as one parcel, valued at five thousand dollars. All the parcels will be sold at one uniform price of fifty dollars each. As soon as the shares are all taken, the distribution will be made by a committee, consisting of the County Judge, County Clerk and Sheriff, and if either of them is absent, the others will choose a person to fill the vacancy. The numbers of the lots com posing each parcel will be written on sep erate ballots, and sealed up and placed in a box. The purchasers' names will be written on as many separate ballots as they have sub scribed for shares, and sealed up and placed in another box. The boxes being well shaken, a ballot will be drawn from each, and the name and the description of the prop erty drawn will be recorded by the Clerk ; and then another will be drawn and recorded, until all are drawn. The record of the draw ing will be certified by the committee of officers, and warranty deeds will be immedi ately executed in accordance therewith, and delivered to the purchasers, or to their au thorized agents, who will pay the purchase money on receipt of the deed. The title is a patent certificate under the Donation Law. This is not a lottery, but a joint purchase of several parcels of land, with an agreement to treat them as of equal value for the pur- fose of distribution, and to assign them by ot, as a Court would make partition. Situate io the mouth of the Columbia river, at the only spot where a town can be built with a harbor of suilicient capacity to shelter a large amount of shipping, and accessible by both ocean ships and river boats in all weathers, Astoria can have no rival as the enter pot for the commerce of the river. Rival towns have been projected, but scarce ly the ruins of a house now mark their sites while Astoria has grown steadily up to the condition of a respectable little city, and in creases faster every year than it did the year before. Un the two points between which slims enter the river are the two forts, Stevens and Hancock, in full view of tlifctown, with their wharves, warehouses, barracks and officers' quarters, each a respectable village, where the Government has entered upon a a series of works, which, with their garrison, will involve the disbursement of millions of dol lars. And, considering that this is the gate to an interior country of three embryo States besides Oregon, all glittering with veins of gold and silver, no expense is likely to be spared in guarding it. 1 he travel and traffic between mat region ana ran jfrancisco is already immense. It will never cease, nor cease increasing. And there, at the gate, will stand Astoria; and all the steamshins and river boats must come to her wharves as they ply the ever increasing commerce of five States. Three regular lines of steam ships are now employed, and at certain sea sons extra trips are made. At present, thev extend their voyages inland a hundred miles to Portland, in pursuance of a habit nat- urallv formed when trade was confined to the Willamette river, on which Portland is situated. But the reasons for it are dimin ishing, and the reasons for changing it are asing; and it is generally believed that very soon the ocean steamers will terminate their voyages at Astoria, and leave the in land carrying to river boats of but a twen tieth part their cost, Portland, it is hoped, will not be injured by the change, but re lieved from the fear of injury. Hut, what ever happen s.the prosperity of Astoria is sure it is now exhibiting a greaterroportionate increase in building, business and wealth, than anv other town on fhe Pacific coast. No real estate is so sure of a constant advance, and none so lileh to take a sudden rise to many times its present value. That it is of fered for sale at home, anions those who know it best and who can appreciate the lib erality of the offer, proves that it possesses all the value and advantages attributed to it. and presents a tempting opportunity for either speculation, or investment. Why, then, is the oiler made ? Why is the prop erty put into a raule at prices winch average less than halt the selling rates r umy be cause the sales to citizens, for actual improve ment, at full prices, at the rate ot three to five thousand dollars a year, on time, as here tofore, is no longer adapted to the circum stances of the proprietor, who has become an invalid, and must hasten to complete the im provements and enterprise which he has in hand. The following extracts from a letter pub lished m the iNew l ork IndepeiuUnt, ot bep- tember 2,th lSnh, Irom J' rot. Wood, who made the tour of the Pacific States last sum mer, gives the impressions of a sagacious aud impartial stranger; Astobia, Oregon, Aug. 11th, 1SG6. "I write lrom this- renowned place. As toria stands upon the left bank of the Co lumbia, ten miles from its final .commingling with the ocean. A narrow interval cf level ground, from tide to bluff, say two miles in length by two furlongs in width, affords a convenient and pleasant footing, for at pres ent, about seventj- white buildings, including custom house, court house, hotels, stores, shops and dwellings. Several fine dwellings also stand rugn upon tne mils m the Tear, enjoy in g a landscape m front of marvelous beauty. Astoria enjoys a climate of remark able salubrity. Diseases may exist, but I hear nothing of them : and the atmosphere. perfumed by the vast coniferous forests, or punned by tne expanse ot the waters ot the Pacific, brings only health and vigor to these shores, lleuce, it is a favorne resort tor in valids and tourists irom tne interior, in i. : i c l. iu . a : Ti. - searcu euuer ui utuiiii or i euieauoji. it is occupied and controlled by a population chiefly ot New England origin. 1 hey main tain an eiiicient public school, now under the direction of a graduate of Yale, for the education ot their two hundred children. "Astoria occupies a position, geograph ical!, which should entitle her to supremacy in commerce, as the .New Orleans ot the Co lumbia : and the Astorians maintain that she is vet destined to attain it. At present, however, Portland is the umloubted metro polis, a citv located one hundred miles above this, not on the Columbia, but on its chief tributary, the ulamette. this is an anom aly yet readily explained. The valley of the Willamette is by far the largest and best ag ricultural district in the State, and Portland is its mart : while the region back of Asto ria is yet forest, with only here and there a small section subdued, Jbor this good rea son, at present, Astoria has less than 1,000 inhabitants, while Portland has 8,000 : and for the other good reason, its commanding position, this little city is the only port of entry tor the fct ate. meiuture importance ol Astoria ssenis in-etaavie, ana must more than keep pace with the development of" her agricultural resources. The seventy houses estimated bv Prof. Wood were at that time more than ahundred, and since then the largest and most costly store in the town has been bunt, and a church, steam saw mill, brewery, and one of the best tanneries on the Pacific coast, to gether with wharting and the usual addition of dwellings and other buildings. Another church is to be bnilt next season, and a num ber of houses are under contract. Each sum mer the carpenters are overtasked. Next season the demand will be greater than ever. Workmen of all trades are srreatlv needed. This is their opportunity, this is everybody' s opportunity; every person should own some property at the seaport and summer resort of Orison. To improve and use, there is none so eligible for heath, schools and profit able employment. As merchandise, to sell for profit, none will give so great an advance on cost. As a means to lay up money for the future, no other is so safe, or will return so many told. Not a ticket but will draw a fafty- dollar lot, and two-thirds of them will draw prizes of two, four and six lots each, or a lot worth trom twice the the cost f the ticket to a hundred times its cost. In such a rafie every one ghculd .try his hick. How to Light a Dark Room. If, in a very narrow street or lane, we look out of a window with the eye in the same plane as the outer face of the wall in which the window is placed, we shall see the whole of the sky by which the apartment can be illuminated. If we now withdraw the eye inward Ave shall gradually lose sight of the sky till it wholly disappears, which may take place when the eye is only six or eight inches from its first position. In such a case the apartment is illuminated only by the light reflected from the opposite wall or the sides of the stones which form the window ; because if the glass of the win dow is six or eight inches within the wall, as it generally is, not a ray of light can fall upon it. "if we now remove our win dow and substitute another in which all the panes are roughly ground on the out side, and flush with the outer wall, the light from the whole of the visible sky. and from the remotest parts of the oppo site wall, Avill be introduced into the apartment, reflected from the innumerable faces or facets which the rough grinding of the glass has produced. The whole window will appear as if the sky were be yond it, and from every point of this lu minous surface light will radiate into all parts of the room. PORTLAND BUSINESS GUIDE.
