Editor "Weekly Enterprise : Dear Sir: So much has lately been said and sung in praise of the Dalles of Oregon and its surround ings, and the magnificent river scenery en ?wtathereto,that it may sound like an " oft told tale" to speak of it ; hut, as the columns of your valuable paper are perused by many who may be seeking a spot where they may find rest for the weary mind, and devote a few leis ure days to real enjoyment, I can cheerfully recommend them to that locality, and, if not encroaching too much upon your time and space, would refer to a recent excursion made there, for the benefit of those who might wish to go and do like wise. Our party of eight, among whom were numbered three ladies and a gentleman from Oakland, Cal., left Portland on the steamor " Cascade." The day throughout, was one of Oregon's brightest, and as we steamed along the Columbia above Vancouver, the ever-changing beauty of nature's panorama", called forth exclamations of won der and adoration from the strangers who accompanied us Ar riving at the "Dalles," we found every comfort and accom modation at the " Umatilla House," in justice to the proprie tors of Avhich, I am prepared to say there is no hotel in Oregon where the science of cooking and serving meals is better understood. The day follow ing, we visited the salmon ground, made famous by the wonderful exploits of George Francis Train and the Committee of Ways and Means. The river at this point is a sight to behold, being literally crowded with sal mon, and the Indians have only to stand upon the rocks and select such as they like. A cold in the head, to deaden the sense of smell, is a luxury to be desired, while standing there. On the morning of the next day, we prepared for a grand encamp ment on Fifteen Mile Creek, for the purpose of hunting and fishing. Tn this enterprise, all difficulties were overcome, by the prompt as sistance of the gentlemanly accent of the O. S. X. Co., at the Dalles. Mr. Frank F. Dodge, a thorough sportsman who knows every want and requirement for the camp, and his kindness Ave never shall forget. Our prospect of pleasure were increased by the addition to our party, of Mr. Dodge and Captain Sam Holmes, and with a spanking four in hand and double team, guided by experience drivers, away we sped over the smooth hill roads. The day was lovely, the atmosphere clear and Mounts Hood and Adams, freed from the clouds of smoke that had so long hid them from view, displayed themselves in all their Avild errand cur. Our camping ground Avas reach ed at mid-day, and our tents pitch ed on the velvety grass of a bcauti- ful meadow, through Avlncn, the clear cold Avatcr of the creek bubbled its greetings of welcome to us. The business of camp life com menced, boxes and packages open ed, provisions laid out, and here allow me to introduce another and important member of our party, James Fountain a most attentive and polite colored man and a thor ough good cook James did not consider that the California ladies were so experienced in this rough way of living as our Oregon ones, and, as a mark ot his attention to to their more polished style he carried in his hand the entire jour neA an elaborate cruet stand and bottles, for the table. Guns, amunation and fishing ap paratus Avcre arranged for the mor row. The fields and hillsides Averc stocked with prairie chickens, while the creek furnishes a supply of - - A. -. 1 fine spccled trout. A feAv hours of each afternoon Avere sufficent to give us all more game than Ave re quired. In .the evening round our bright camp lire, with gongs and laughter avc passed the happy hours away. Four Clays of this liie were quiek lv and pleasantly spent, and avc looked with regret to the breaking up of our little camp. An evening or two before then, our party was enlivened by a visit from Mr. Geo. Knaggs and his lady, Aiio spent the iiight with us. Who, that has been ui or down the Columbia during 'the past five or six years does not know Jvnaggs, the inimit able, the man Avith rolicking laugh, and hat always hanging by three hairs at the back of his head. 3Iav his shadoAA' ncAer be less. Pv this time avc had become an organized band, and in order that avc might have a lasting memento OMECSOW CITY, OHEGOiT, S1TUEBAY, SEPTEMBER, 11, 1809. of this happy event, our camp poet was ordered, under penalty of be ing cut of his lager, to prepare some verses appropriate to the oc cation, he hied into cover and soon returned, Avith the following touch ing line's , set to the tune of Gid eon's Band. DODGE'S BAND. What a merry life in camp ore lead. From formal ways and stiffness freed So tune your voices clear and strong And merrily sing this good old song, We all belong to Dodge's Band. We've left all care and toil behind. To gather strength of body and mind Let mirth and joy the watchwords be. And go in for a jolly spree, For thai'o the way with Dodge's Band. Lets sing the pleasures of the camp, For birds and fishes on the tramp, The bubbling brook and willow trees, The girls a wading to their knees. They all do so in Dodge's Baud. Our little parly numbers ten Six woman fair and four strong men, With James our cook in all thfngs neat For serving up cannot be beat He knows whatsgood for Dodge's Band. Before we go our different ways In memory of those happy days "Write again our choral ring And the several names we'd sing Of those who make up Dodge's Band. There's Ella. Johnny, Frank andXan, Minnie, Mollie, Ben and Dan. With Brother Sam, who form the crew And Dodge our gallant captain too To him. let eacli give heart and hand, For he's a stunner to command. After the reading of which, the Poet Avas warmly embraced by the ladies, crowned. Avith a wreath of willows, and allowed a double ra tion of lager. The hour of departure come, avc took a last fond look at the spot where so much enjoyment had been found. A p'c.isant ride to the Dalles, another day spent there, and Ave took our course, home ward, Avith hearts full of gratitude to the kind friends avIio had con tributed so much to our happiness, and Avith a sincere hope that you, Mr. Editor, may find leisure to es cape from your chair, and experi ence a like soul reviving trip. I am sincerly yours, and one of DODGE'S BAND. e- EARLY "GRAY LAWS" of VIRGINIA From Putnam's Magazine. Dy a statue of 1662 every body Avas obliged to have his child bap tized by a minister of the Church of England or be fined 2,000 pounds of tobacco. Any dissenting minis ter presuming to solemnize the rites of matrimony was fined 10, 000 pounds of tobacco, and every such marriage Avas pronounced in-A-alid. All persons Avcre forbidden to take any journals or do any work on the Sabbath, except of necessity, 'and all persons Avere or dered to attend the Avorship m the parish church or chapel every Sun- lay, or be lined 50 pounds ot tobac co for CAcry absence. Quakers and other recusants, totally absenting themselves from the establish ed religious services of the parish, Averc lined 20 pounds per month ; and, in addition, every Quaker Avas fined 200 pounds of tobacco for each occasion he was present at a meeting of his sect. An act of 1795 provided that every one avIio absented himself, or herself, from church for one month (except Qua kers, etc..) or failed to make due observance of the Sabbath, should pay for cA'ery such offence the sum of five shillings, or fifty pounds of tobacco, or, failing from any cause to make prompt paymcnt,should re ceive " on the bare back ten lashes, Avell laid on." 1 an act of the same year, any one who being brought up in the Christain relig ion, should deny the existence of God or the truth of the Scriptures, for the first offence Avas disabled to hold any "office or employment, eccleastical, civil, or military;" for the second offence he Avas " disa bled to sue in any court of Iaav or equity, or to be guardian to any child, or executor or administrator of any person, or capable of any gift or legacy, or to bear any office, civil or military, forcA'er Avithin this colony, and shall also sutler from the time of such conviction three years imprisionment, Avith out bail or mainprize.

Different sounds, how CA'er, travel Avith different veloci ties: a call to dinner will run over a ten-acre field in a minute and a half, while a summons to return to work takes from five to eight minutes. Can any one define the exact width of a narrow escape ? SPIRITUAL LOVEL1XESS. From the American Phrenological Journal. Genuine lovlincss is the efful gence ot sublime virtue; it is a soft and melloAV light, diffusing a deli cious radiance OAer the entire character, and in-esting its posses sor Avitli a halo of indefinable beauty. It is the "fresh ripple from deep fountains" of inborn love. It is the gentle deAv descend ing from the clear heaven of a pure and lofty "mind the mystic charm that " pleases all around, from the wish to please." Let us seek, then, to adorn ourselves Avith this most charming of all orna ments. Keep the chambers of our souls clean and unpolluted. Dut every pure emotion and generous sentiment Ave should sedulously cultivate and foster Avith perseA'cr ing care. Breathe a kindly feeling for all. Desire to impart a pleas ure to all Avith Avhom aac meet. Live to scatter flowers of joy in CAery path Ave tread, to be a golden beam of soft and mellow light in every home avc visit. Aim to move as a loving seraph in CA'ery circle. Thus animated by inward emotions and purposes, our outAvard lives and actions Avill shine Avith softened luster upon all. Thus Avill avc SAvay a scepter of hallowed poAver over many hearts; and Avhile Ave " draAV to ourselves the Ioa'C of others, as the diamond drinks up the sun's rays, only to return them in tenfold strength and beauty," avc Avill put on charms Avhich " no beauty of known things, nor imagination of the un known, can aspire to emulate. We Avill shine in colors purer and brighter than pearl, or diamond, or prism can retleet. Arabian gar dens in their bloom can exhale no such sweetness as a loA'ely spirit dilFuses." Living to bless others, avc will ourselves be blessed, because All worldly joys are less Than that one joy of doing kindnesses. v And when, in the dying hour, avc are feeling that 'Bower, will, sensation, memory, fail ia turn. Our A'ery essence seems to pass away, Like a thin cloud that melts across the moon. Lost in the blue immensity of heaven." then those avc have loved, and blessed in loving them, shall Avatch our departing souls, and breathe after us the prayer of Heaven's peace upon thee, even as thou hast Over this soul a calm of sunshine cast.'' DANIEL AVISE. - OLD JESSE GRANT, The number and variety of stories Avhich are told of old Jesse Grant, the individual to Avhom aa'C are indebted for our present stable government, are past computation. Here is the last one : A young man OA cr in Covington, the other day, met and accosted old Jesse, although ignorant as to avIio he Avas, and requested him to furnish him Avith change for a five-dollar bill, lie acceded, and Avhile mak ing the ncccssaiw transfer, being loath to lose nn opportunity for making himself knoAvn, he took oc casion to say : " Young man, do you know that you are talking to the father of the greatest man in this country?" He Avas immedi ately informed by the party ad dressed that he Avas not aware that he stood in the presence of one avIio had that proud distinction. "Yes," resumed the garrulous Jesse, handing oA'er the desired change, "I am the father of the mosj illustrious hero this country CA cr produced." The young man looked at him for a moment . with an expression of grave astonish ment on his face, and then exclaim ed :' " What, vou don't tell me that 7 mi you arc the father of StoneAvall Jackson !"

ROJVME JEAXi " The folloAving anecdote respect ing Burns' "Bonnie Jean," isgiA en in the Dumfries Jlerald-the AVriter, who signs himself " D.," giA'es it thus: The following story was related to me by a lady who had the par ticulars of it from Mrs. Burns her self, with whom she lived for many years on terms of the closest and most friendly intimacy. It maybe noticed that the anecdote has never " been in print." It is AVell known that the fame of Burns sent troops of admirers from "a' the airts the win, can blaw" to visit his widow, who continued to reside in the house in Avhich her liusbnnd died. A big burly, open-hearted English man one morning touched the "knocker" that adorned the door of the modesthouse in Burns street, being anxious to see the celebrated "Bonnie Jean." The appeal Avas answered by Mrs. Burns herself, avIio, happening to be "elbow-Up in her baking,"was not in a state to receive visitors. The stranger soon told his story, and Avas cour teously shown into the parlor by Mrs. Burns. Ever anxious to grat ify the admirers of her husband's genius, the good lady dolfed her dusty apron, put on a tidy cap, and immediately reappeared in the room Avhere thc stranger AAas Avait ing. The Englishman seeing his old friend who had opened the door to him, asked again to see " Bonnie. Jean." "Weel, sir," said Mrs. Burns, Bonnie Jean stands be fore ye, and I'm afraid by your look that you'e somewhat disap pointed." "Ten thousands par dons, madam," said the stranger, rising, "I thank you for your good ness in. permitting me this dis tinguished honor and valued priv ilcdge." It is unnecessary to de tail the usual commonplace conver sation that took place on such an occasion. Just as the Englishman rose to depart he exprescsd his de light Avith the interview, and pro ceeded : "I am, madam, a most cn thusistic admirer of your husband's memory and genius, and should Aalue as priceless the smallest thing you haA'e to give. I Avould Avil lingly pay for anything without giving you offence ; but the most Avorthlcss thing in your eyes Avould be. to me priceless; any scrap, or article or relic, I Avould keep as the apple of my eye!" "Weel, sir," an swered Mrs. Burns, w.'th a tw'nkle of fun in her eyes, I fear the house noAA' contains few of these rc'iss of the bard ; indeed, so great has been, the demand for them during the by past years that I begin to think the only relic is miselff and doubt less you'll no tak the gift o' that!" The Englishman doubtless made good his retreat. Last avords of Great Uersoxs. Be serious. Grot i as. Head of the army. Nitpolcon. I have loA'cd God, my father, VA cvty.Afad, th Stael.

A person who is considered landless has sometimes tAVO to three achers in his mouth.. DEMISE OP THE LVCOME TAX. It is with a feeling of intense re lief that the American people Avait for the early demise of that incom prehensible legislative blunder christened the "Income Tax Act." That unconstitutional monstrosity terminates a hideous existence this year, after one more draft Upon the means of honest men, and one more exemption for rogues. If Congress had set its wits to work for the 'purpose of infusing dis honesty and rascality among the people, it could scarcely have dis covered a more suitable instrument. It was useless to go OA'er ground o thickly strewed Avith the debris of shattered reputations, menda cious statements, inquisitorial re searches, false returns, and vicious results. A more perfect cloak for the perpetration of frauds, and a better school for the corruption of morals, it AVould be difficult to de vise. The meshes of its net AAere most conveniently arranged to catch or let slip either big or little fish, to suit the captor's coiiA-eni-ence.

WORDS OF PRAISE. - Praise your Avife, man ; for pity's sake giA'e her a little encourage ment ; it won't hurt her. She made your home comfortable, your heart bright and shining, your food agreeable. For pity's sake tell her that you thank her, if no thing more. She doii't expect it; it Avill make her eyes open wider than for many years; but it will do her good for all that, and you, too. There arc many Avomen to-day thirsting for the AA'ords of praise, the language of encouragement. Through summer's heat and win ter's toil they have drudged un complainingly, and so accustomed haA-p their lathers, brothers and husbands become to their monoto nous labors, that they look for and upon them as they do the daily rising of the sun and its daily going doAvn. Home CA'ery day made beautiful by an Appreciation of its holiness. You know, if you can take from your drawer a clean shirt, Avhenever vou Avant iL that somebody's finuers haA C ached in the toil of making it so smooth and lustrous. It is not that many men do not Appreciate these things, and feel a gloAV of gratitude for the number less attention bcstoAved upon them in sickness Avith a hearty " Why, Iioav pleasant you make things look, Avife !" or " I am obliged to you for taking so much pains !" They thank the tailor for giving them fits;thcv thank a man in a full 7 i omnibus who giA'es them a seat : they thank a yoUng lady Avho moves along in the concert-room in short, they thank everything out of doors because it is the custom, and come homc$ tip their chair back and their heels up, pull out the newspaper, grumble if their Avife asks them to take the baby, scold if the fire is gone doAvn, or, if anything is just right, shut their mouth with a smack of satisfaction, but ncA'er say " I thank you." I tell you Avhat, men, young and old, if you did but sIioaa' an ordin ary civility toward those common articles of housekeeping, your Avives, if you would give them the hundred and sixteenth part of the compliments you almost choked them with before they Avere marri ed, fewer women would seek for other sources of affection. Praise your wife, then, for all the good qualities she has, and you may rest assured that her deficiencies are counterbalanced by your own.

Many things cart be said in their favor. If it was not for the boy many of ouf tradesmen could not live. The glass-put-in man would'nt have much to do and putty would fait in price, if there Avere no windows to break. There Would be no cus tomers for the east-iron peaches, and green apples which. Will soort be here ; but for the boys the doc tors wouldn't have so much to do in curing cholera morbus arising therefrom. Boys can be useful Avhen they have a mind to, and can sell neAvspapers, black fhoot$ hold hoies, and do chores. In printing offices the boys arc knoAvn as devils printers haA'e a plain Avay of speaking. Boys individ ually are better than boys colleo tiA'ely. If there Was only one boy in tlie world, We think he woukt be a good boy ; it generally takes tAvo boys to get up any mischief. Have one boy in a store and you can haA C him useful.

How eoon ho groAvs out of it depends npon cir cumstances. Some neA'er do. Ifc is questionable whether boys lead an enjoyable existence.

Gh c a boy his choice of all occupatioift in life, and the chances arc that lie would prefer either to be a Kobinson Arusoe on a desert island, or a captain of a band of robbers, such as he has read about, and seriously thinks of going into one or other of these de sirable occupations when he gets to be a man. He has great respect for a stage driver and the captain of a canal boat ; there is an idea of command in the positions that takes his ideas. His idea of being a man is having plenty, of money, doing what A'ou please, and leing able to smoke or cIicav tobacco Avithout getting sick bA crit. Somebod wrote a song, "Would I Were a Boy Again." Those Avhq had the bringing up of him are not likely to have the same sentiment Raising a boy once is as much as anybody wants to undergo, and fortunately, Avhen they once grow up the' stay growed up and have children of their own to afflict them. fCcio, Not Dead Yi:t.---Andy John gon'tf return to the United Stated Senate, in A'ieAV of the result in Ten nessee, is almost certain This is not the least satisfactory result of the contest in that State Andy is a bold, positive exponent of that class of political ideas that is least agreeable to the blatant radical rul crs.
