MY BOY.
What the stars are to tht iky,
What the light is to the eye,
What the river's to the a&
Is my darling boy to me.
What the dew is to the flower,
What the vine is to the bower,
"frhat the leaf is to the tret
Is my darliog boy to me.
Sweeter than the violet,
Pure as lily-bud, still wet
With the early morning dew,
Is my darling, good and true.
When the dreams of youth are done
When the night of nge creeps on,
May I lean, with pride and joy,
Upon thee, my darling boy !

TnE Wife's Power. Miss Kate
Field had an interview with Hepworth
Dixon, the brilliant editor of the Lon
don Alhoeneum, shortly before his
death. She says: "He was exceeding
ly fortunate in his domestic life. His
home was one of the pleasantest in
London. Once in conversation with
him I asked whether he thought the
majority of marriages were happy o r
unhappy. 'Happy, certainly,' was the
reply. 'I think most men marry for
lore, and set the right woman, with
whom they are perfectly satisfied
through life. Of course, however, there
are wives who fail to fail to hold the
hearts or their husbands. 'Will you
tell me I said, 'in what you think is
the secret ot a woman s lasting power
what quality it is in her which
A 9
makes her hold her husband's heart
forever V 'That she should be a pil
low,' answered Mr. Dixon, seriously.
'I mean that in her, as on a pillow, her
husband must find repose. He gets
hard knocks enough in the world; peo
ple stick their sharp corners into him;
they hurt his pride or wound his sen
sibilitie. Let him go home feeling
that there, at least, is some one who
believes in him utterly. He has no
need to tux himself if he is tired. She
will be contented even if he does not
tell her his be-t stories, or tells her the
old ones three times over. Sho asks
nothing of him but that ho will be him
self. Do you think years make such
refuge of less worth 1 No; a man will
never stay long away irom such com-
panionship the sincerest flatter, the
most perfect rest.' "

charming to behold.

yon City road, and about twelve miles
east of the Deschutes bridge. The oonj
sideration was $6,00C, each. This will

The Astorian says: The Kinross has
not sailed for Europe, the Oregonian
to the contrary notwithstanding. The
vesel is drawing 21 feet of water, and
as there is but 17 feet on the bar her
time of departure will depend some
what upon the height of the highest
spring tides. This is the truth of tho
whole matter in a nut shell, and the
capacity of the tugs to tow her his
nothing whatever to do with it.
It is the intention of the O. S.
Co. to build a two-story dock on the
bank of the river about one-fourth the

The Dalles freightwill be received and
discharged. This will be good news

plank walk reachiog from the bridge to
the dock, the improvement will be com
plete. The Talk says: In passing through
Salem we see signs of improvements
going forward, such as buildiog side
walks, making new fencing, converting
buildings anew, preparations for netf
houses, plowing along the streets on
Piety Hill for grading and draining,
etc. The certainty of the Salem and
Silver:on railroad coming down into
town oi Front street, and depot near
Kinney's Mi lb, seem to enliven our
folks.

20th of February, in eompany with Mr.
Gibson for Prineville, Wasco county,

ing the desert they suffered greatly
from the cold weather, and the snow

out of their wagon and break a trail
for the worn-out horses. They arrived
at Prineville on Saturday, February
28th, and on the following Tuesday,
Mr. Peocby was taken ill from the ef
fects of the overwork and hardships of
the trip and did Mirch 2d.
