Through the great, sin-blasted city '
Toils a homeless little one
Not a friend to soothe or pity
Not a bed to lie upon
Ragged, dirty, bruised and bleeding
Subject still to kick and curse
Schooled in sin and sadly needing
Aid from Christian tongue and purse.
But the rich and gay pass by her, ; ' ,
Full of vanity and pride.
And a pittance they deny her, '
As they pull their skirts .aside. ' v i
Then a sullen inood comes o'er her
jReckJesa she of woe or weal
Death from hunger is before her
She must either starve or steal. r
She does steal, and who can blame her,
Hunger pangs her vitals gnaw
JSone endeavor to reclaim her,
And she violates the law.
Then the pampered child of fashion,
Who refused to give relief,
Cries, with well affected passion,
" Out upon the little thief I"
Censors full of world-wise schooling,-
Cease to censure and deplore
When the girl transgressed man's ruling,
She obeyed a higher law.

Starved, unhoused no succor nigh
And, "though sure of reprobation,
Ye would steal ere ye would die !

THE PACIFIC HAHR.OAl.
The Pacific Railroad is nearly
completed. The work of grading on
both the Union and - Central divi
sions is finished or cearly so, and
about the first of May the last rail will
be laid which unites the Atlantic and
Pacific Oceans. Its completion has
anxiously been looked for by thou-
nds, but more particularly by the
residents of the Pacific slope, many
of whom have deferred their long-
promised visits to their kindred in
be East until the Pacific Railroad
was an accomplished fact. lis con"
struction is the most stupendous
work ever attempted by man. All
former achievements sink into signifi
cance when compared with the trans
continental railway. Lofty moun
tains, capped with eternal snow, deep
and broad rivers and sterile deserts,
had to be crossed. The Ceutra line,
commencing at Sacramento which is
5G feet above tide water, climbs the
steep and rngged Sierras, till it
reaches the Summit, ut an altitude
of 7,042 feet, where a tunnel 1.G50
feet long, leads to their eastern slope,
down which the track follows till it
reaches White Plains, 3,921 feet
above tide. Again it ascends till it
reaches Peqnlop Pass, on Toano di"
vide at an altitude of 6,180 feet, and
again descends to the point where it
ks to connect with the Union Pacific
at Monument Point, 651 miles from
Sacramento and 4,290 feet above the
level of the sea. Then tho Union
Pacific lines commences, and keeps
ascending till it reaches Quaking Acp
Summit, at an elevation of 7,516
feet, and then descends to Omaha,
which is 967 feet above tide water,
and then onwards by easy grades to
Chicago, and afterwards to New
York, making the total length from
ocean to ocean, 3,305 miles. Of the
final completion the Reno Crescent
says:
A grand event is about to trans-
pire. A. multitude irom tne jcasi,
and West are to meet in the center
of the continent to see the last rail
laid which is to connect the two
ocean?, 3,000 miles aprt. Rut it is
not ot this scene we wish to fpeak.
It is said the train from the East
will contain 1,000 invited guests
These invited ones will doubtless in
clude in their number the representa
tives of the 'wealth, genius, talent,
courage and beauty of the East.
When the imposing ceremonies at
Ogdn are concluded, when the
speeches are all made, the toasts
drank, the welcomes said and Te
Dev7ns sang, then many, and especi
ally those thousand invited ones,
will hardly return without satisfying
curiosity which has been increasing
in intensity tor years in the minds of
Eastern people to see the far off Oc
cident, to gaze upon that still myste
rious land and listen to the booming
of the Pacific in his "everlasting la
mentations." What will be the im
pression of these people? For the
snke of effect we hope the connection
will be made by the 1st of May. At
that time the East will be slowly
awakening from her winter sleep.
As the train leaves Omaha, the
chances are the winds sweeping down
from the lakes and from Minnesota
will require all the doors to be closed
and a good fire kept burning in the
cars to keep passengers comfortable.
The Black Hills and Rocky Moun
tains will not yet have uncovered
their swarthy visages from the veil of
snow laid upon them. The desert
basin will be "sere and cold." This
will not disappoint them, for they
have been taught to think ours a
desert land, unbearable, except for
the treasure hid within its stony
depths. But then will come the'pas
sage of the Sierras, We can fancy
the feeling of awe that will possess
their souls as the hiuh elevations are
r ached, amidst such mountains of
snow as they may have read of, but
never realized before, such peaks and
gorges, each higbt a glacier, each
deep ravine an ice foe. And then
the pines, those mountain monarchs
beside which the trees of the east are
but as shrubs. Some of the guests
will leave homp with the determina
tion not to be surprised, or to ex
press enthusiasm or astonishment at
any of the wonders of the West.
We predict that, notwithstanding
this, before the tram bearing them
shall have crossed the summit and
lelt the ice qu the western slope, that
more than once there will be silence
in the group and ap involuntary tak
ing off o( hats, as though the pres
ence of some higher power was" felt.
And then the sweep across the flow-
ery plains beyond, until the pleasure
culminates as th? train stops among
s'nging birds and blooming gardens
in Sacramento, we will venture then
that menand women will leave the
cars wiih drooping heads and quiver
ing lips, exclaiming, like the queen of
old : "Tho half was not told me"
Nature has, been propitious thus far
this season; no floods, but rams just
when nee did, as though the great
mother took a pride in preparing her
fairest child for her viitor8. Speed,
then, the day. , llurrv up the chariots
of fire; let the last link which binds
us to our childhood home be revited.
Let the curious come. We can point
to the wealth of our mountains, our
forests, our fertile lands and bound
less sea as an excuse for staying here,
and the only wonder will be that men
once seeing the Pacific slope should
ever leave it.
i
Department of Agriculture.
The commissioner of Agriculture is
overwhelmed with applications from
all sections of the country for seeds,
vines plants, &c, the results of an er
roneous impression that the former
system of general and miscellaneous
distribution of common garden seeds
would be continued. It would be
well for the public to be correctly in
fotrhed npon this subject at once. Ow
ing to the very small sntn of money
appropriated by the last Congress "for
the purchase and distribution of seeds.
cereals," &c, (being less than one fifth
of the amonnt appropriated by the
preceding Congress,) it will be impos
sible to rnaku any general distnbu
lion as heretofore. The very limited
amount of seeds purchased has been
selected in Europe with specfal care
as to new variety and superio'r quali
ty, and will be distributed throngh
members of Congress, State and coun
ty agricultural organizations, and
monthly statistical correspondents of
the department, and not through mis
cellaneous and unknown channels. It
is therefore useless to apply individ
ually to the department.
. e. .O
TfiE Planting Season. There
has never yet been a season so fa
vorable for planting as has been the
present season in California, as well
as in Oregon, and well has it been
improved. The opportunity for
plowing and preparing the land has
been extended to a latter period than
ever before. Even now, thousands
of acres are still being plowed much
of it will remain as " Fallowed land,"
but a large quantity will be planted
to various crops, and Col. Warren
s?iys that in California such as Flax,
Hemp, Castor Bean, Hops, tho Mul
berry, and root crops, besides a large
number of acres will be wisely plant
ed to small frnits, such as Black
berries, Raspberries, Strawberries,
Currants, etc., for it is -well under
stood by wie ones that small fruits
will pay well the next five years, and
will will it be for those who have
large plantations of these fruits.
Start out to collect a dollar and
yon are met at every turn -with the
cry of hard times. Times must be
exceedingly hard in Oregon. Two
acres are being put into wheat this
season to one acre last year and any
man able to work, and willing to
work, can find work of iome kind in
abundance, and at highly remunera
tive prices. Thousands of men are
wanted, at good wages, by the far
mers all over the State, on public
improvements, and good mechanics
are getting round prices for nearly all
kinds of work. In no State in the
Union does labor, today, command
so liberal pay, and nowhere can the
necessaries of life be procured at so
low rates, proportionally.
The Degree of D. D. Accord
ing to statistics compiled by the Yale
College Courant, fifty two colleges
in the United States hive this year
conferred the degree of JJ. D. on
ninety six clergymen. This fact
would go far to remove the prevailing
impression that this degree is cheap
and common in our country. When
we consider that the Presbyterian
denomination returns ab.out four
thousand clergy men j the Congrega
tional about three thousand; the
Northern Methodist eight thousand
five hundred, and the Baptist nearly
or quite as many, besides the large
number of the Roman Catholic priest
hood; and the clergy of almost innu
merable smaller denominations, the
proportion of doctors of divinity
mnst be considered ou the whole as
quite reasonable.
-The sorest and most expeditious
way of discovering the energet'c and
business men of any place is by an
examination of the advertising col
umns cf the newspaper published in
(at oguoornooa.

" Allowing for the production in

Ftaled in round numbers that the pro
duction, and consequently the con
sumption of the world, has reached
9,500,000 tons of 2,240 pounds each,
or 21,280 millions of pounds; so that
if the population of the world has
reached 1,000 millions, a consump
tion of a little over twenty pounds of
iron per head. A careful calculation,
after allowing for the iron exported,
shows tlint the consumption per head
in England is 189 pounds of iron.
The consumption in Belgium has
reached about the same limits. The
consumption in France is 69 pounds
ppr head, and in the United States
not far from 100 pounds per head.
If the industry of the whole world
were as thoroughly developed as it is
in Great Britain, the consumption of
iron would reach nearly &O,O00.o0tf
torts per annum. , If brought to the
standard 6f the United States, a little
less than 60,000,00(J tons per annum
would answer; or, if to thcCt of
France, a little over SOOOOOO tons
would be required, fignies to be in

Ing&Sious. There are two sort
of advertisements the first to ad
vance one's own business the other
to retard another's. A Slontfeaj
journal records a brilliant specimen
of the aggressive advertisement be
tween two rival tobacoouists on Notre
Dame street. It was noon, and the
street was crowded. Tobacconist
No. 1 employs a friendly swell, in
the extreme of fashion, to go into to
bacconist's No. 2, and purchase a
prime Havana. The swell appears
at the door of No. 2, lights his ci
gar, takes a puff, utters an oath, and
flings the "d-d thing" into the street.
Inti rise disgust of tobacconist No. 2,
joy of No. 1, and the people who are
passing are profoundly impressed
with the belief that tobacconist No. 2
is a swindler and undeserving of pub
lic confidence.
Ccre for Colds. New laid egg
well beaten; dessertspoonful of fine
oatmeal, dessertspoonful of moist
sugar; little powdered ginger; little
salt; half an ounce of fresh butter;
all mixed well together. Poor on a
half a pint, or rather more, of boil
ing water gently, stiring quickly all
the time to prevent curdling. To
be taken at bed-time until the cold
is removed.
An artesian well which is being
sunk in San Francisco, was lately
brought to a halt at the depth of 209
feet, by a stratum of flint, qnartz and
fossil formation. Some of the speci
mens of qnartz brought to the sur
face are very handsome and would
be a fitting ornament for a cabinet.
