e LIFE LESSC1S. A little drop of dew had stood Upon my casement long, The sun came out and kissed the dew, And when I turned again to tiew The dew-drop it was gone. A tiny blossom, pale and sweet I'd nursed e'en since its birth, When last I sought 'twas all in vain, .For oh ! the bitter winds and rain Had crushed it to the earth. A bud of richest promise grew Within my garden wall. I gazed npon it, soft and fair, And hoped 'twould yield a flower rare Ere autumn leaves might fall. A beauteous form of infant grace, I thought to call my own ; One tender breath upon my cheek, One sigh of parting love io'speak My heavenly gift had flown. Then, as I faint and pow'rless grew To quaff Life's bitter cup, An angel form, just overhead. And bending down in pity said, " Look up from earth look up !" - Thalia ll'ilkincon. Vact3 Worth Utmtmbcriug. It is worth while for ail farmer?, everywhere, to remember that thorough culture is better than three mortgages on their farm. Ihat an offensive war against weeds is five times less expensive than a defensive one. That hay is a good deal cheaper EJftdg in the summer than purchased in the winter. That a horse that lays his ears back and looks lightning when any one approaches him, i3 vicious. Don't buy him. That scrimping the feed of fattening hogs is a waste of grain. That over-fed fowls won't lay eggs. That educating children is money lent at a hundred per cent. That one evening spent at home in study is more profitable than ten lounging about country taverns. Referring to the action of the Board of Managers of the State Agricultural Society at its late ses sion, the Orcgonian says : It may be worth while to take a second look at some of these actions, and the motives of them. Five thou sand copic3 of statistical and other information for distribution amongst the emigrating population of the At lantic side. Fifty thousand copies it'oald be a good investment of money, and might have been done at this time if our model legislature would have aided the society to the amount of .$1,000, but that was refused. The action relating to a survey of public jauus propeny rjciongs to tne Legis lature, but as lhat body nas domf its best to insult Congress and our Sena tors, the society evidently stands the best chance of success. The artesian well project is adopted with a view to settle the question of practicability of getting water by that means in this Valley. To Cure a Cold. Do three things. First, eat nothing; second, go to bed, cover up in a warm room; third, drink as much cold water as you can; or as you want, or as much heib tea as you can; and in three cases out of four, ) ou will be well in thirty-six hours. To neglect a cold for forty eight hours after the cough com mences, is to place yourself beyond cure, until the cold has run its course, of about a fortnight. Warmth and abstinence, are safe and certain cures, when applied early. Warmth keeps the pores of the skin open, and re lieves it of the surplus which op presses it, while abstinence cuts off the supply of material tor phlegm which would otherwise be coughed up. This is a simple but effectual remedy. Drink uo intoxicating Ijquor. o Very amusing scenes occur every now and then in and about a news paper office. To fully understand and appreciate the fun of the follow ing the reader should know that in every office where a Iloe's press is used the type i3 " made up" in semi circular forms: These are known as " turtles," arc made of cast-iron, rvnd are of great weight. To keep the " turtles' in condition it is neces sary that they be creased each morn ing with oil, the best being consider ed necessary. Hie other day lire stock of oil having been allowed to be almost exhausted, a bright youth was sent from the office of the prtss to a grocery store, and instructed to buy a bottle of the best olive oil. The grocer being of an inquiring turn of mind, the following converse tion occurred;' Grocer. '' Well, my son, what do you want the oil for?" Boy. ' To grease the backs of our turtles with, sir.'' Grocer (astonished). " To grease your turtles?" Boy. " Yes, sir. We always do that with them every morning." The youth It ft the grocer consider ably mystified as to why the backs of turtles should be gressed. On another occasion the same specimen of young America was sent to Adams' Express office to ii-qtrrc if they could forward to 2s ew York that day a lot of turtle?. The gentleman in charge as-ked him how many he had? Boy. " Eight, fir." Gentleman. " How much do they weigh, sonny?" Boy. ' Well I guess about three hundred pounds apiece." Gentlemen. " llow much did vou sr.y.-'- " Boy. "Three hundred pounds.'' GeMieman. " Gre;it fortune 1 4re did on get such ho turtles?'' 3IOTIIEII IS CHILDISH. " She is childish!" How thought" less, how disrespectful, how ignorant and sinful an expression! What! that mother whose form is bowed, whose hair is silvered, whose eyes are dimmed in watching over you, whose interest in you baa never abated, though another calls you his! Her judgment, believe me, young friend, is deeper, more matured than yoare; but because you differ, how easy it is to say, " Mother is child ish !" Shame on you ! I know it is believed by the giddy young that old folks get childish. The author who said, "Young folks think old folks are fools; but old folks know what young folks are," spoke truth undying. Says one, "At forty man suspects himself a fool knows it at fifty.'' I know that there are many young who are talented; but they do not get wiser in age? " The youthful talents of Webster and Clay,'' says one, " gave promise of the mighty intellects that in later years would rule the Senat Benjamin Franklin was past the meridian of life when the highest nobles of France received him as they "deemed best by those bold spirits across the ocean who had pledged their all for freedom, to ask aid of them." Washington and most all the leaders in that glorious struggle were middle-aged or older. John Quiucy Adams was SI when he died; yet the younger members of Congress sought instruction of him. And let me ask, is it the young statesmen, whom we now trutt to; or is it to those whose wisdom is ma tured bjr experience? Who can read without deep emo tion, " Washington's last visit to his mother?"' What respect and tender ncfs in h'i3 itUntiou! She was nota " childish old woman" to the Fa ther of his Country." In imagina tion I can see the god-Iikc hero rev erent and gentle as a child in his mother's presence. And when, "af ter fifty years, Fiance's noblest son, America's benefactor Lafayette, vis ited cur laud, were any ungrateful to say: "Childish old mm?" God forgive you, thoughtless Young man or young woman, who use such language to or other who has borne so patiently with your faults. She has tried this life, and knows its void ness, knows there is something more than present gratification to seek. She who has heretofore he'd the first place in your heart has yielded it to pnother, God and mothers alone know with what anguish. Her heart is not hardened because it gives no sign. She has learned to endure in silence. II r hopes of life are fled. Is it any wonder she turns to her grandchildren for love? Their innocent prattle is music to her; her heart receives them, treasures them, takes pleasure in them. Oh! then, teach them to love and respect her; let their innocent hearts cherish her whom you " Lave no time to hu mor." It will soothe htr heart-pains at your neglect, and more calmly and peacefully will the pass down the stream of life. The benefit will not he hers only; your children will learn lessons of wisdom which you cannot give which you have not lime or inclination to teach them. Experi ence makes us all wiser; she has raised one. generation, and is now able to avoid triors which are prevalent with us all in dealing wilh the little ones entrusted to our care. God bless the aged, and give the young more sense than to thirk that gray hairs are a sin of childishness. J7AMILY DYE COLORS. P.ttfTtcilOcol)tr ISO.'?.
