Raker City is to have a hospital, which
will be opened about June 1st. It will
w called the St. Elizabeth hospital, and
iU be under the direction of the Sisters
St. Francis, with the mother house in
Wdiadelphia.
Tbe Dalles just now is at her prettiest,
ti her fruit trees masses of bloom,
jd her shade trees rapidly taking on
Jfcelr foliage. It is just a trifle warm
l( comfort, but we have no kick com-
ing, the more warmth the more grass
1 and grain, and we cannot have too much
, of either.
The Columbia is coming up rapidly
and steadily, but we are not like the
people along the Mississippi, who get
drowned out with a 26-foot rise. It is
not classed as high water here until it
passes the 42-foot mark, and in '94 it
went within an inch of the 60-foot
mark. It made some of us move at the
latter figure, but anything under 50 feet
is all right.
A. M. Williams & Co. have a very
handsomely decorated window in honor
of Easter. The floor is covered with
loosely-draped swiss, from' the folds of
which peep many prettily colored eggs.
The center piece isan immense egg
made of handkerchiefs, the top chipped
off and a couple ofnandsorne dolls peep
ing therefrom. At is a dainty and artis
tic bit o'f decorating that must be seen
to be appreciated.
The Snipes-Kinersly Drug Co. has a
very pretty and unique Easter display
in its windows. Each window is car
peted with sod, and in one two large
white rabbits, with acouple of baby
rabbits, are at hometo all who call to
see them. In theyother, a hen, with a
brood of ducklings, divide the honors
with the rabbits; A swimming tank is
provided for the youngsters, and they
seem to enjoy themselves as thoroughly
as though they had the whole world to
roam in.
Have you seen those beautiful Olive
Platin photos that Mr. Hammond is
making at the Herrin gallery? They
are, without a doubt, the finest finished
photos that have ever been made in the
West. Photographers in tbe East
charge $8 to $15 per dozen for them.
To introduce them in The Dalles, Mr.
Hammond, for a short time, will make
tbem at $4.50 Ier dozen, for cabinets
finished on large, heavy or other fancy
cards, which is very reasonable consider
ing his is the only gallery in the North
west where they are finished as they
should be, or he will make you a present
of one Olive Platin with a dozen of the
polished photos, prices of which are
still as low as at inferior galleries. al6 3t

We regret that our young friend
"Consistency" has concluded that "'tis
folly to be wise," and so prefers the ig
norance he has, to that sweet knowledge
he knows not of. His Pegasus with
spurning foot caused Hippocrene to
pour forth abundant waters, but alas!
he refused to drink of the Helicon
spring, preferring the bitter waters of
Lethe. 'Tis related that when Ulysses'
crew fell under the spell of Circe, she
changed them to suit her fancy into
lions, bears, asses, ewine, and other ani
mals. They, returning not to the ship,
Ulysses went in search of them.
Against the charms of the beautiful
enchantress he had a eingle talisman a
simple flower. As long as he held this
her charms were powerless. I have al
ways thought that the story was sym
bolical ; that her charms were only the
power she had over ignorance, nud this
ignorance was typified by the animal
condition of her victims; while, on the
other hand the little flower which pro
tected Ulysses was the sweet bloom of
knowledge. May our young friend yet
pluck a bouquet, and so, farewell.
Death is said to be a great mystery,
and yet all things tangible that have
life, die. Nay! Even the rocks are
metamorphosed, and becoming some
thing different from what they were,
may be feaid to have peristied. Where
does the essence, the will, the spirit, the
intangible, incorporeal thing we call life
go to? What becomes of it? We do
not know. Hence, I take it, that not
Death, but Life is the unsolvable mys
tery. Whence cometh it? What in
visible spirit moves the grass and the
leaves, to carpet the brown earth with
verdure? What makes the crocus bloom
beneath the protecting leavee, the violet
to perfume the glade, the columbine to
play with the invisible baby zephyrs?
Whence comes our own life, and when
and how does it enter into the babe,
touching its heart until it beats, its lungs
until they begin to perform their func
tions, its brain until the divine essence
we call thought is evolved, and intelli
gence springs into being? Out of the
nowhere it comes to enter into that
which was not, and we call it life. Out
of that which is, it goes into tbe fathom
less elsewhere and where it no longer
abides, there is that which we call
death.
There is another mystery almost as
deep as life, and that is love. Who is
there can explain the mystery of the
human heart, who even theorize on the
divine attributes the affections? Who
can tell by what subtle charm someone
steals into the iumoet sanctuaries of
one's heart, filling it with the fragrance
of tin- r-i! blossoms of Paradise? By
what alchemy of nature is love distilled,
too often alas! from weeds instead of
lilies and roses. Fairness of face,
beauty of form, limpid eyes, silken
tresses, or even the intellectual charms
are not all powerful. Intelligence,
beauty, grace, learning, wit, all united,
may fail to produce the effect that pome,
lacking perhaps most of these charms,
may accomplish. Psyche may wiu
Cupid, Phryne set all the world's youth
wild ; yet Phyllis may meet them both
on their own ground and vanquish them
without an effort. Why is this? Is it
not because love is born not of the
isenses, but of the spirit? Beauty of
form, face and mind may attract, but
there their power ends. While love
born of the spirit, glorifies its object,
and supplies a beauty as superior to
earthly charm as imagination is to
reality. It is true the object is often
unworthy, but that only proves our con
tention, for we love not what is, but the
imaginary being wo have created. Yet
what would you? Idols of brass with
feet of clay, such are all the images of
earth. The ideal and the real will never
be harmonized, and yet what man or
what woman is not better for the idols,
he or she has created.
Yet love intangible, is but typical of
life. We know not from whence either
comes, wo know not whither they go.
The autopsy may show that through
this bullet hole, or that internal disturb
ance life ceased, and the post mortem
examination of a case of defunct love
may show what was responsible for the
deeeaee. There Ih Boine difference too. At
the end of life, the body remains to be
disposed of. There is a funeral or a
cremation. At the end of love there are
no remains. It has performed hari-kari,
incinerated itself and scattered its own
ashes upon the waters until they are
lost as utterly as those of Lycurgus, in
the Aegean sea. Generally after a short
period of rest, while nature docs a little
summer fallowing, the fertile soil gives
place to the seed of another love, Clotho
again holds the distaff, Atropos spins
the thread and Lachesis, with her re
morseless shears, cuts it off. Yet it
comes again, and yet again. Not the
same love, of course, for dead love is
like a dead mule a total loss. But we
get another sample off the same chunk ;
we get the same kind of sugar in a clean
bit of rag, and suck the dainty niorjel
just like the suckers that we are.
