o 5 o o Be a Woman. Oft I've heard a gentle mother, As the twilight hours began, Pleading with a son on duty, Urging him to be a man. Jjut unto her blue-eyed daughter, Tho' with love's words quite as ready, Points she out the other duty ' Strive, my dear, to be a lady." AVhal's a lady Is it something Ma'ue of hoop?, and silks, and airs ; CJJsed to decorate the parlor, G Like the fancy rings and chairs ? Is it one that wastes on novels Every feeling that is human ? O If 'tis this to be a lady, 'Ti5 not this to be a woman. Mother; then unto your daughter Speak of something higher far O q Than to be mere fashion's lady Woman is the brightest star. If ye, in your strong affection, Urge your son to bo a true man, Urge your daughter no less strongly To arise and be a woman. Yes, a woman brightest model Of that high and perfect beauty, Where the mind, and soul, and body, Blend to workout life's great duty. O Be a woman naught is higher On the gilded list of fame; On the catalogue of virtue There's no brighter, holier name. Be a woman ou to duty O Raise the world from all that's low, Place high in the social heaven, Virtue's fair and radiant bow ! Lend thy influeucc to each effort That shsH raise our nature human ; Be not fashion's gilded lacy, Bt a brave, whole-souled true woman. Cao?3. Southern Oregon will not produce large crops ot wheat this year. Many persons assign the ear. y commencement and long contin uance of tho rains of the past fall and winter, which prevented the fanner from preparing and seeding his ground, as the reason. Others declare that their is no use of thow iriT away labor to produce wheat, when there is so large a quantity On hand and the price of (lour so nominal why not wait until the scarcity increases the price ? The latter argument or suggestion is not original with Southern Oregon, it having had its origin in the Web fuot district, located far north of this, and, peihaps, as fine a grain growing country as can be found on tho Pacific slope ; yet from its earliest settlement it has been the generul custom of the farmers and settlers to abstain trom trie pro ductions of any of the necessaries of consumption, until the price would justify a full compensation for the labor required to produce or ob- tain the commodity ; hence, in many ::ucs, the fanner turned his grain fields into pastures, because he could not realize a price for wheat aud other products ; the stock raiser oven ceased to make butter, for his own family's use, and turned his cattle all out to run wild together, lus depending upon the growth and .he increase of his stock for a support 9ind income ; and in many cases the farmer has been compelled to ship his flour, potatoes and cftbbage from California the stock raiser his but ter and cheese, evvhen, in fact, he owned from 50 to 100 milch cows. This is no romance but a simple statement of stubborn facts. Our advice to the farmers of Southern Oregon fs, not to be deterred from producing your regular annual crops on account of loio vrlces. A market may bo found when you have your granaries full to overflowing, which will add much to your wealth and prosperity, and a regular low pnco is better than to sell. Sentinel have nothing to O HOW TO DETECT CoPPEli IS PlCK LE3. A writer gives the following simple aud easy method to ascertain if pickles contain any portion of copper : The test is made by simply thrust ing a bright needle into a pickle and al lowing it to remain there for several hours. If there is any copper present it will be deposited on the needle, giving it the characteristic red eoIor of the metal. From one specimen of pickles, which were warranted not to contain any copper, a heavy deposit of the metal was obtained by this test within six hours. The copper is present as an acetate, and may come from boiU ing the vinegar or pickles in a brass for copper boiler that has been al lowed to become coated with the acetate of copper, or verdigris. Some manufacturers have been known to usa this pigment in the manufacture of pickles, to produce the fine por manetij gr&en color which by some is thought to be so desirable in this O article of diet. It may be taken as a rule that pickles with a perma nent greeh color contain copper. The test is the needle, and any one can trv it. Influence of wooded Districts on the Descent of Rain. M. Becqnerel and his son have laid before the French Academy the results of sever al observations conducted in the environment of Montargis. They conclude that wooded districts draw down a l irgtr amount of rain than plains. Remembering the fact that when the clouds approach a mountain, or even a simple-hill, they ascend and then meeting a colder stratum of air become converted into rain, one is led to think that lofty woods may have the same effect. "This view the auth O ors tested by establishing five observ atories in the district named, cf the rainfall. They found that far more falls in the wooded than in the un hooded distrlct,- - Why Orchards Deteriorate. Fruit trees, like every thing else whose sustenance is derived from the earth, are subject to decay, but by improper management they are often killed before their natural productive power is half exhausted. This is not the fault of the variety planted, the local ity, nor the severity of the weather, except in rare instances, but of those who have the care and culture of them. The trouble generally arises from tho want of thought or the. cupidity of the owner. He plants an orchard, the trees perhaps twenty feet apart. In a few years, if they grow well, their branches will cover a large portion of the intervening space. But some ground is still unshaded, an orchardist thinks it is a pity that thi should lie waste. The plow is intro duced, and whatis the result? Simply this, hundreds and hundreds of the small fibres, reaching out from the main toots in search of sustenance for the trunk, are severed; their absorbing aud conducting power is destroyed, and the trees and branches, sustained by their active functions, wither; it ceases to yield its wanted burden of fruit, and, after a few years of languid life, permaturely does. Ihe truth is, the farmer asks too much of his soil; wants it to impart vigor and fruitfulness to from fifty to eighty trees to the acre, oesides giving hicn a crop of corn and potatoes an nually. To secure tho last he cuts the thousands of fibres of his trees with the plow, and then' wonders why his orchard decays and dies prema-. turely! This is bad policy and poor practice. Do not ask too much from the soil. Give it a chance to nourish and sustain one product to a full development, rr.iher than by a multiplication of them, to secure stinted sa moles cf immature ones. The earth, properly manured and tilled, is munificent in its gifo to man, but when over tasV.cJ by a multiplicity of exactions its response to his labors will be feeble and unsat isfactory. Rural New Yorker. Pretty Good. The Press of Jack sonville tells the following : A certain professional gent in town, who has turned his attention to horticulture, for the benefit of his health and as a means of recreation, went into one of our stores a day or two ago to purchase some seed peas. The peas were delivered and the Prof, departed ; in a little while, however, he returned, terribly indig nant, and berated the storekeeper soundly for imposing on him by selling him peas that were full of worms. As most of our readers are aware, a sort of grub infests all dried peas in this valley, but that dots not impair their virtue for seeding. When this explanation was made to our professional friend, he appeared to be satisfied, but feL anything but proud of the huge "mare's nest" he had dicovered. o . Playing Cards. Cards- were in vented in 1391 by Jaccmemin Grun genumour, to amuse King Henry YI., of France, who at that time was mad. The ace was made the best card in the pack, being deriv ed from the French word "Argent," signifying the money, and to show ihat a king could not get along without it, as a menial cvd backed by the aee would triumph over a king. The kings were called David, Alexander, Qcsar and Charlemagne ; the queens were named Argine, Rachel, Palles, and Judith; the varlets or knaves represented the squires to the kings, and were named Launcelot, Ogier, Renard, and Hector ; tens, nines, &e., represented the' foot soldiers'. The ace of clubs was bo named and form ed to represent a clover leaf, and to signify to the king that a good general would encamp his army where pasturage was plenty. The ace of spades represented the haU berts carried by the foot soldiers ; the ace of diamonds represented the heads of the arrows used by cross- bowmen, and the ace of hearts represented the courage of the knight and soldiers. Deodorizers. The following arti cles are easily available for the sup pression of noxious gasses, so fatal to health and lif : Two pounds of sulphate of iron (coperas) dissolved in a pailful of water, and poured into a vault, will prevent the formation of sulpeuretted hydrogen gas for some time, and wdl generally be sufficient to remove ail nuisance. One pound of nitrate of lead dis solved in a pailful of water, is excel lent for sinks, sir k drains and vaults. If other things fail, chloride of lime is always effectual, and may be freely used upon vaults and other col lections of filth. These substances are not expensive, and will effectually destroy all the offensive smells. The quantity to be used will depend on tjhe quantity of filth to be deodorized, and their per manency of effect upon local condi tions in each case. Food and Warmth. It should al ways be remembered that animals allowed to stand and shiver in the open air, or in a barn full of cracks and holes, need and eat a very large amount of extra food to keep up bodily heat, flesh and comfort. ------ Substitute for Buffalo Robes. A good substitute for buffalo robes, which are now very costly, mav be made from the skin of a bul lock, which is naturally soft and wcoly, or of sheep skins tanned with salt and alum and rubbed until pli-i aWle. i 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 uusold 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 Eurehasers by lot. One-half the parcels will e single lots, no one of which is worth less than $50, and many of them are worth 75 and $100 each, at the present selling rates. The other half will be prize parcels of two, four and six lots each, and single lots rang ing in value from one hundred to six hun dred dollars, and one house and lot valued at one thousand dollars, and one new cottage residence of eight rooms (ijot all finished), with stone cellar under the w hole, together with three lots, all as one parcel, valued at five thousand dollars. All the parcels will be sold at one uniform price of fifty dollars each. As soon as the shares are all taken, the distribution will be made by a coinrmttpe, consisting of the County judge, County Clerk and Sheriff, and if either of them is absent, the others will choose a person to fill the vacancy. The numbers of the lots com posing each parcel will be written on sep erate ballots, and sealed up and placed in a box. The purchasers names will be written on as many separate ballots as they have sub scribed for shares, and sealed up and placed in another box. The boxes beiug well shaken, a ballot will be drawn from each aud the name and the description of the prop erty drawn will be recorded by the Clerk ; and then another will be drawn and recorded. until all are drawn. The record of the draw- ins will be certified bv tha committee of officers, and warranty deeds will be immedi ately executed m accordance therewith, and delivered to the purchasers, or to their au thorized agents, who will pay the purchase nionev on receipt ot the deed, i he title is a patent certificate under the Donation Law. This is not a lottery, but a joint purchase of several parcels of land, with an agreement to treat them as of equal value for the pur pose of distribution, and to assign them bv f . - -i u . ior, as a vuuri wuuiu iu;iKe partition. Situate in the mouth of the Columbia river, at the only spot where a town can be built w ith a harbor of sufficient capacity to shelter a large amount of shipping, and accessible by both ocean shipa and riv$r boatd in all weathers, Astoria can hare no' rival' as the enter-pot for the commerce of the ri"r Rival towns have been projected. ut scarce ly me ruins or a nouse now nmrk tJl . -while Astoria has glwn steadily unto the condition of respeclttbie little citv, and in crease utster every year than it did the year before. On the two points between which ships enter the river are the two for ts, Stevens and Hancock, in full view of the town, 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. The travel and traffic between that region and San Francisco is already immense. It will never cease, nor cease increasing. And there, at the gate, will stand Astoria; and all the steamships 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 pursnance of a habit nat urally 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 increasing; and it is generally believed that very soon the oceau 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. But, what ever happens.the prosperity of Astoria is sure It is now exhibiting, a greater proportionate increase in building, business and wealth, than any other town on the Pacific coast. No real estate is sosure of a constant advance, and none s& likely to take a sudden rise to many times its present value. That it is of fered for sale at home, among those who know it best and who can appreciate the lib erality of the offer, proves tbat it possesses all the value and advantages attributed" to it. and presents a temiing opportunity for either speculation, or investment. Why, then, is the offer made ? Why is the prop erty put into a raflle at prices which average Less than half the selling rates? Only be cause the sales to citizens, for actual improve ment, at full prices, at the rate of three to five thousand dollars a )ear, on time, as here tofore, is no-longer adapted to the circum stances f the proprietor, who has become an iuvalki, and must hasten to complete the im provements and enterprise which he has in hand. The following extracts from a letter pub lished in the New York Independent, of Sep tember 27th ISfiii, from Prof. Wood, who made the tour of the Pacific States last sum mer, gives the impressions of a sagacious and impartial stranger: Astoria, Oregon, Aro. 11th, ISStL "I write trom this renowned place. As toria stands upou the left bank of the Co lumbia, ten miles from its final commingling with the ocean. A narrow interval of level ground, from tide to bluff, say two miles in length bv two furlongs in width, affords, a convenient and pleasant footing, for at pres ent, about sev enty white buildings, including custom house, court house, hotels, stores, shops and dwellings. Several line dwellings also stand high upon the hills in the rear, enjoying a landscape in front of marvelous beauty. Astoria enjoys a climate of remark able salubrity. Diseases may exist, but I hear nothing of them ; and tho atmosphere, per fumed by the vast coniferous forests, or purified by the expanse of the waters of. the Pacific, brings only health and vigor to these shores. Hence, it is a favorite resort for in valids and tourists from the interior, in search either of health or recreation. It is occupied and controlled by a population chieuy of New England origin. They main tain an efficient public achool, now under the direction of a graduate of Yale, for the education of their two Li'ndred children. "Astoria occupies a nosition. fffiormnli. ically, vi-hich should entitle her to supr emacy in upimueice, as tne .ew ui leans of the Co lumbia ; and the As'orians maintain that she is yet destined to attain it. At present, however, Portland is the nndor.bted metro polis, a city located one bundled rrilos this, not on the Columbia, but on its chief niouiary, tne Willamette. 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. For 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 citv is the only port of timj mi lire cuic. i uc luiure importance of Astoria s?ems inevitable, and must more than keep pace with the development of her agricultural resources." The seventy houses estimated by Prof. Wood were at that time more thau a hundred' and since then the largest and most .costly store in the town has been built, and a church, steam saw mill, brewerv, and one of the best tanneries on the Pacific coast, to gether with wharfing and the usual addition of dwellings and other buildings. Another church is to be built next season, and a num ber of houses are under contract. Fach sum mer the carpenters are overtasked. 'ext season the demand will be greater than ever Workmen of all trades are greatly needed This is their opportunity, this is evernfhfg opportunity; every person should own some property at the seaport and summer resort of Oregon. To improve and use, there is none so eligible for heath, schools and profit ablo employment. As merchandise, to sell for profit, none will give so gre&t. an advance on cost.. As a means to lay up mouev for the future, no other is so safe, or will return so many fold. Not a ticket but will draw a fifty dollar lot, and two-thirds of them will draw prizes ot two, four and six lots each, or a lot worth from twice the the cost of the ticket to a hundred times its cost, In such a ratio every one should trr his luck.
