Come list to the «on^of the rattling type,

In a diurnal garret and dingy town,
Where the Rhine's blue wave« are flowing.
Old Outeuburg conjured my spirit down.
And aot my footstep« going.
But I burst on the world like the morning’s sun,
And lighted Its midnight hoary,
And though my long Journey has just begun,
I hsve flooded the globe with glory.
I have ton. down the castles of crime and sin.
I have opened the dungeona of sorrow,
I have let the glad radience of freedom in,
And scattered the legions of horror.
I have broken the fetters that ahackel the mind.
Restored its streugth and beauty;
Aud taught the proud princes that ruled mankind
The lesson Uaat pew » U duty.
I have rescued from prisou the human soul,
And opened its inner portal,
Till It spurns Indignant all human control,
Aud soars In its flight Immortal.
In the realm of science I scatter light,
To the poor bear hope iu his hovel;
For never again shall the world In night,
In darkness aud slavery grovel.
Let no scholar despair, uo warrior ijusll;

For uo more shall the words of wisdom fasti.
Nor the hero's deeds be forgotten.

Aud love shall be forever vernal,
For the maiden's vow aud the poet's strain,
Shall sound through the slates eternal.
The old world shakes 'ueath my giant tread,

For my voice speaks doom aud my arm bears dread
To crurobltng.thrones snd dominions.

And the cause of their dire alarm is,
That the pen is mightier far thau the sword,
Aud the types than a thousaud armies.

opposing
you have a husband
whom you wish to twist around
your little fingei, you must first
love him with all your heart,with all
your, P3ul etc., and the love you
feel will make it possible for you
to put up with all those little
discrepancies which crop out in
man’s nature after you have beeu
married a while.
In the first place should your
husband be a man in business, who
comes home tired to death, cross
and worn out, do not at once en
tertain him with troubles you have
gon^ through with during the .day.
Do not rehearse the shortcomings
of the servants or the disobediemce
of the children. Meet him with a
smile, kiss him, take his hat and
overcoat, let him severely alone
until he has toned his irritability
with a good dinner, alter which he
will be in a position" to listen to
anything you may have to say.
Rut I always found it an excellent
plan to liiile nil disagreeables from
the husband’s notice. Men don’t
want to have a repetition of arnoy-
ances at home, when they have so
many in their daily path outside.
And believe me, the effect of keep
ing household squabbles out of
your husbands knowledge wonder
fully enhances vour value as a
wife.
I have seen so many errant
fools fiy at their husbands the
moment they enter the house, and
there and then give him a detailed
account of the troubles of the day,
even taking to tears as an argu
ment on their side, and O how
men hate tears. How they detest
houshold details, and beiug natur
ally selfish, hate anything that
puts them out at home. And they
are light. The bread winner ought
to be relieved from domestic jars.
Of all things when your husband
comes home, see that his dinner is
cooked well. Don’t make a row*
because his meat is undone, or
burned to a stick. Rather go into
the kitchen yourself and see that
everything is Comme ilfa u t You
don’t know how a man appreciates
a loving wife, and a well cooked
dinner after a hard days work.
Put yourself, in his place, each
woman who has to toil fora father
less flock. You don’t like to come
back to a cloudy atmosphere and a
poorly cooked meal. You thiuk
you are at least entitled to serene
comfort at home and if you don’t
get it you rebel. Why not men
also?
Nothing on earth fetches a man
like a good dinner, and a well
dressed wife, presiding. The hus
band who can look forward to such
a state of affairs everv day of his
life, will never tire of home; and
the wife who studies him will have
little trouble in managing him ac

cording to her will.
Men are gregarious animals, and
will wander in spite of all allure
ments. But they are selfish enough
to remain where they are the best
treated. And for taking a little
trouble the first few years of mar
ried life, the years that follow will
always find the husband glad to go
back to the pretty home where
smiles await him aud the dinner I
spoke of.
Therejare so many ladies who
object to being “ bossed,” as they
call it. My dear ladies, you can
always be boss if you just take the
trouble. By giviuer in, you get
your way as yon never would by
fighting for it. And after all it
is better to feel that you respect
your husband so much that to
give in is not difficult. Of course
I am now speaking of the right
kind of a man. There are some
men such perfect brutes that no
kindness'll at» any effect upon them.
When you are unfortunate enough
to get one, devorce him at once
and1 be more careful in your, selec
tion next time.
Nine
men out of ten
are
manageable if you go the.right way
about it And one great point is
to act exactly after marriage ns
you did before. Argument and
contrndition are vital enemies to
married peace. Should you want
anything, don’t insist upon it
after refusal. Of course you must
have it, but bide your time. Some
women are persistent in asking:
•‘Why may I not? Why don’t
you
do as I ask you?” and
irritate the man. Rather bide your
time— make an extra good dinner
of his favorite dishes, put a bow
in your hair of his favorite color,
make home and yourself more
sweet than ever. You’ll get it sure,
even if you have to wait Also
when yon wish him to do any par
ticular thing which you know will
be for his good, don’t for heaven’s
sake say “do it.” Rather drop a
hint that so aud so would be a
good thing to do; get him interested
and let the subject drop. Don’t
crow over your husband with: “ I
told you so; now come to my way
of
thinking.” Absurd,
ladies
absurd.
Never let a man know you rule
him, jet rule him iu all things if
you can.
I believe that it is possible for
you to keep your husband so
perpetually in love with you that
he rather likes to be ruled by you.
Never ask for a new dress until
after dinner, and never press him
to buy anything he can’t afford.
Never be jealous without cause.
Trust no woman, but trust your
husband ns long as you see that he
conducts himself properly. If any
jroung lady goes for him, take the
three legged stool to her and make
yourself so doubly agreeable to
him that he will never want to look
at another woman.
The January number of the West
Shore (Portland, Oregon,) is a
work of ait. It contains sixteen
full pages of illustrations of Port
land, which for design and execu
tion rank with the best art work
produced anywhere. A large col
ored supplement of the splendid
high school recently completed ac
companies tht number. It is most
artistically executed, and is of itself
well worth a year’s subscription.
The number contains a description
of Portland aud the usual amount
of choice matter and useful infor
mation alxmt the Northwest. The
publisher promises other colored
supplements during the year and a
general improvement upon even
the present high standard, of which
the January uumber is ample evi
dence. The people of the North
west should feel proud of such a
splendid|representative as the West
Shore, which richly deserves the
liberal support it receives. We are
pleased that the great improve
ments being made indicate an en
larging subscription list and a cor
responding increase of benefit to
the Northwest from this extension
of ita influence.

The following to registers and
receivers are new regulations that
must be complied with. Claimants,
read it carefully:
w
G entlemen :—T he large number
of defective, irregular, and insuffi
cient proofs presented in public
land cases, aud the looseness with
which attesting officers,particularly
others than Registers and Receiv
ers, have exercised their functions,
make it necessary that the follow
ing directions lie carefully complied
with:
1. In cases of final proofs and
of entry applications the parties,
whether applicants, claimants, or
witness, must be properly identified
before you. Attesting officers (in
cluding Registers and Receivers)
must certify that the parties ap
pearing are personally known to
them
or that their idenity is
satisfactorily
established. The
names of^persons vouching to
idenity must be stated. Identify*-
ing affidavits should be required in
all cases where necessary.
2. Each question in final proofs
must be orally asked and answered
in the presence of the attesting
officer. Applications,
affidavits,
and final proof questions must be
throughly explained, so that there
can be no possibility that tlie
parties will misunderstand the
puiqiort of their affidavits or the
full meaning o ' the questions asked
or the effect of their answers.
Readymade proofs presented mere
ly for pro forma acknowledgment
without verification, cross-exam
ination, or evidence of idenity will
not be considered such proofs as
are required by law.
3. Officers taking affidavits and
proofs must test the accuracy and
reliability of the statements of
applicants and claimants and the
credibility of the statments of
applicants and claimants and the
credibility and means of informa
tion of witness by a thorough cross-
examination. Questions
and
answers in such cross-examinations
will be reduced to writing and the
costs ther3of included in the costs
of writing out the proofs.
4. Cross-examinations should
be directed to a verification of the
material facts alleged in the case,
and especially to the actual facts of
residence and other requirments,
the use of the land and purpose of
the entry, and whether the entry
is made or sought to be perfected
for claimant’s own use and occupa
tion or for the use and benefit of
others.
5. Registers and Receivers, and
other officers must carefully seethat
parties and witnesses are sweir-
ing to actual facts and not to con
structions of law as to what consti
tutes fncts. This requirment will
be particularly observed in respect
to facts of alleged resideuce.
fi. Proofs must be taken on the
day’ and before the officer named in
the advertisement, and at his office,
aud between the hours of eight a .
m . and six r.
m .
Proofs taken
privately or iu secret, or otherwise
in substance irregularly,will not be
accepted.
7. Proofs must in all cases be
made to
the satisfaction of
Registers and Receivers. Proofs
that are not satisfactory must be
rejected. Rgeisters and Receivers
are authorized to avail themselves
of all means of informution in re
spect to the validity of eutiies and
the interests in which they are
made, and will not allow entries
which thej have guod reason to
believe collusive, speculative, or
otherwise fraudulent
8. Registers and
Receivers
must thorughly
scrutinize all
proofs taken before officers other
than themselves. They will not
accept proofs so taken that are
defective or insufficient, aDd they
must see that all papers are com
plete and perfect before an entry
is allowed or the papers transmit
ted to this office. This rule will
be imperatively insisted upon.
9. Registers and Receivers will
promptly call to the attention of
special agents, and report to this
office, all cases which in their
opinion need investigation.
10. ¿>hould officers (other than
Registers and Receivers) taking
affidavits or proofs know or have
occasion to suspect the existence of
fraud in connection with any case,
they should at once report all the
tacts to the Register ami Receiver.
11. Officers
taking affidavits
and testimony should call the atten
tion of parties and witnesses to the
laws respecting talse swearing and
the penalties therfor, and inform
them of the purpose of the Gov
ernment to hold all persons to a
strict accountability
for
any
statements made by them.
In no case are papers authorized
to be executed in blank. Papers so
signed or falsely authenticated will
be treated as fraudulent, and the
acts of an officer misusing his
official signatrue and seal will not be
respected by this office, but the at
tention cf the proper authorities
will be called to his misconduct
13. Officers taking applications,
affidavits or final proofs, will not be
permitted to act as attorneys iu the
case.
14. Attorneys at Law appearing
in land office proceedings at local
offices must file an appearance
stating specifically whom they
represent. Attorneys in fact must
file the written authority of their
pi incipals.

I deem it my duty, as a free born
Ainerican^citizen, and an enlighten
ed agriculturist, to give to my
fellow-country-men the benefit of
my experience.
Agriculture has
kept pace equally with the mechan
ical improvements oi the age, and
at the present time stands as far
ahead of the old varietiea and ways,
as the Great Eastern does ahead of
her first owners; but even now you
will often meet vrith some green
house uotioD that died with Andre,
and has been resurrected to the
shame of this generation. Only a
few days ago I was reading in a
work of ante-Clevland days, a
method of growing yams. To say
that I was surprised don’t express
it; why the idea of a naturalized
American son of a garden mole
imposing on his fellow-creatures
iu that way.
The bow-legged,
knock-kneed, spavined, fistulaed,
foundered, pot-bellied, string-halt
ed, saddle-galled, moon-blind, son
of Ceres, didn’t he know that yam’s
v,ere synonymous with feet, and
used invariably when shaking of
the pedal extremities of the S. C.
gals. Why, such a presumtious,
brazen-faced, hair-liped, aligator-
legged, son of a crank, ought to
have his yams planted about six
feet deep in a cemetery. Might as
well talk to me about growing nice,
smooth, luscious warts, or candal
appendages by means of warm soil
and manure. We will commence
our list of plants with the sour
krout. It is a native of Germany,
and it should be planted in barrels
in early spring; generally the first
of October, and never later than
Christmas. Choose smc*oth round
seed, and having filleJ your barrel
w ith them, pack solid with a doubls
barreled hash knife, or sharp spade;
cover with a board; weight with a
stone, and cover the whde with a
grain sack ; place in a moderately
cool place, for ten days, when it
w ill have sprouted, and needs little
or no cultivation from then till
maturity. The carrot is a new, aud
excellent variety of lawn grass.
The gourd is highly recommended
for cattle and sheep, as it is an ex
cellent keeper, and will not freeze.
For shade, or ornament, I would
recommend the catnip.
Its bark
also contains medicinal properties
of great value.
Among the new
and popular varieties of fruit trees,
we will notice the peanut, which is
a native of Africa, and grows there
ready for eating; but here it has to
be artificially browned before it be
comes palatable. The tomato, love
apple, as it is often called, a native
of the West Indies, and noted as
being first grown and eaten by a
Philadelphia jail-bird, is another
excellent variety. There are other
varities, such as the Russian sun
flower and Irish tuber; but cannot
recommend them. One of the
most useful, ns well as the best
known garden plants, is the hen-
fruit. It is a native of Asia, but is
adapted to any climate. It resem
bles somew hat the Australian cher
ry, in having a shell on the outside.
It is an excellent keeper, but oc
casionally becomes addled, when
it is eagerly sought for, as an ol
factory condiment, and is used
principally for perfuming Mormoi^
elders, unpopular R. R. Commis
sioners, and other dignitaries of
note. Our best known grain is the
American corn-ball which matures
during the holidays, and i6 of great
commercial value. The cheese is
another variety of garden plant in
general use; but it should never be
eaten green. It most be thorough
ly ripe, and before cooking, the
suede should be carefully scraped
out The pumpkin is onr most
useful forest tree. It does not
grow as large as the giant sequoias,
but it’s lumber is roost useful, be
iug the same that Peter built his
house of, in order to keed his wife
secure. The onion and garlic I
mention for the sake of the ladies.
They are beautiful flowering plants,
noted for their fragrance, and bear
about the same relation to the
flora, that skunks and polecats do
to the fauna.
