The eye of the traveler, iu pasViug through our State at the preseut time, is greeted by evidences of improvement ou every hand. Houses and barns arc being built ; fences built and remod elled ; new laud broken up, and every proof is apparent of thrift and prosper i y. This is the legitimate result of the extensiou of the means of transporta tion. The Oregon and California Rail road, although only partially completed, has given a fresh impulse to every branch of business. As the farmer fol lowing his plough within sight of the railroad sees the train thundering by, he unconsciously quickens his steps, w hile his lagging steeds feel an enliveq ing influence, aud bend to their labors with a double energy. Tho merchant, as the time nears for the departure of the train, knoying that he must be prompt to time, hurries his prepara tions, gives his directions to clerks and employes, in ft tone which in itself de mands obedience, he rushes to tho depot just in time to g t on board the departing train, and is of! for the pur chase of uew supplies. Everyone feels the stirring influence- Even the loafer, sunning himself beside the brick build Ing on the course, stretches himself, h'ivos a prodigious yawn as ho hears the approaching cars, ancrdur once in his iifo he is wide awake, and rushes to the depot for the purpose perhaps for no purpose ; but it answer the purpose of waking him up, and for once he feels that life is real, and that to enjoy it one must be active, In the train of all this life and ac tion follows, as a legitimate result, the jnarch of improvement. The merchant must enlarge his stock to supply the demands ; the grain dealer must make improvements in his means of handling grain, in order to save time in shipping; the farmer notices the constantly in creasing demand for his productions, and as a means of defence, if nothing more, he is compelled to lend his hand to increase the supply, and make the necessary improvements to enable him to compete successfully with those around him. Already is Oregon beginning to feel these effects. If anyone doubts this, let him take a hasty run through our own valley, and however skeptical he may be, he can but be convinced that the assertion is true. Oregon is pro gressing, and the sooner the people awake to this fact the better it will be. To the young particularly this is an important item. The young men of our State must realize that the days for cayuse horses, leggings and large spurs baye gone by; that they must substi tute for these, some of the implements of usefulness, in order to be up with those around them, and to keep pace with the march of improvement. PARENTAL IN FLUEXCE. That the influence of parents endures through life no one will deny. The influence of the homj circle is as last ing as life itself. If the sons turn out badly, it is generally the fault of early training ; it is rarely, if ever, the fault of the mothers (God blesa them), for their influence is generally on the bet ter side. With the father generally rests the blame. The father, though lie may lay down the best of rules, yet by an overbearing manner, so embitter the temper of the child as to render the teaching of no avail. How guarded, then, ought fathers to be, for, instead of producing loving obedience, ho may engender terror, and thus ruin affection. A tyrannical father naturally produces a deceitful, unloving child. Those who have the greatest re sources within themselves, who can earn and do, dare to live alone, want friends the least, but at the same time know hour to prize them the moat. liut the eame is true of friends as of company a person had better be without any than have that which is bad, as we are more apt to cath the vices than the virtues of those we meet. The largest single coal operator in Pennsylvania is A. Pardee, of Hazel ton, who began life a poor man, and is now worth $5,000,000. Tilt! APIMtUKTICH HUISSTION. The coniplrint of a boy that the only chance a yputh has to learn a trade is to be sent to the Penitentiary or House of ltefug?, had more truth than poetry in it.. From all parts of the country r-omes the same story of the difficulty of boy's experience iu finding places to learu trades. A Chicago paper states that there arc thousands of boys, in that city willing to learn a trade, but uo em ployer dare engage orjeoj them. There may be a little exaggeration here, but there is no doubt that the limitation $he trades-unions p!ace upon uppren tices, is keeping large uumbcrs from becoming skilled laborers. In some trades the allowance prescribed by the Union is one to every five journeymen in othors one to ten. This limitation is not regulated according to the total number of journeymen iu the trade ot the particular locality, but of the num ber employed in any ouc establishment. Thuj, several firms in which one ap prentice to every five journeymen is the regulation number, may employ seven, eight or nine men, and yet only bo al lowed one apprentice each. Instead, therefore, of there being tweuty ap prentices to every huudred journeymen, owing to the irregular distribution of the latter, there may not be more than half that number of buys. Such a system must strike all as unjust. Uy assimilating the admission of appren tices more to the number of boys de manding trades, and graduating the scale to suit the continued increase of population, the evil of the system would not be so intolerable. There are not sufficient apprentices admitted tobupply the natural anuual loss by death, &c. Many lads are by this rule of the Union prevented entering industries for which their tastes and abilities specially fit them, and must take whatever they can get, while hundreis can't get anythiug at all- The pressure of the unemployed youth will, in time, become so great as to override all opposition, and the entire system of fixing the numher of ap prentices will be swept away. Do not. be above your business, no matter what that calling may be, but strive to bo the best in that line. He who turns up his nose at his work, quarrels with his bread and butter J He is a poor smith who quarrels with his own sparks; there is no shame about any honest calling; don't be afraid of soiling your hands; there is plenty of soap to be had. All trades are good to traders. You cannot get honey if you are afraid of bee, nor sow wheat if you are afraid of getting mud on your boots. When we can dig fields with a tooth-pick, blow along with fns, and grow plum -cakes in flower pots, then it will be a nice time for dandies. Above all things avoid lazi ness. There is plenty to do in this world for every pair of hands placed upon it, and we must so work that the world will bo the richer because of your having lived in it. The Golden Ciiy. First among the literary papers of the Pacific Coast, and second to few, if any, of that class of publications of thejeountry comes the Golden City of San Francisco, pub lished by Gus. De Young & Co. Stand ing upon its own merits, it deserves success, and is sure to meet it. Price 6-1 a year. Public Libraries. The congrcs sional library at Washington is the largest in tho country, containing about 200,000 volumes Next to this stands the public library of Boston, with its 170,250. This institution is ho complete in its appointments and admirable in its management that it may almost be regarded as a model in stitution. This is one reason of its popularity and rapid growth. Every Bostonian feels a wholesome pride in the institution, and last year over ,G0O individuals presented it with books. Mr. George Ticknor alone gave 8,000 volumes to this collection. In fact, it is now considered an exceedingly ill mannered thin" for a Boston gentlemau to dio without leaving cither books or money to the public library, as to leave l bequest to Harvard College was form erly a part of a Boston merchant's re ligion. This is the way to build up an institution. Any town in tho country can have a creditable library in twenty vears bv working iu this wise way. New York has no public library, but it has a Tammany Hall, which accounts for the denrivation. Tho ditlerence between the two is that the former is an iustitu- j tion and tho latter a destitution. IIOMI4 HUAplXC'i, Que pf the pleasaotest and noblest duties of the head of the family is to furnish its members with good reading. In times which are "st, it was consid ered enough to clotfie and feed and shelter a family. This was the sum of parental duty. ' But lately it has been found out that wives and children have miuds, so that it becomes a necessity to educate the children aud furnish read ing for the whole household. It has been found out that the miud want food as well as the body, and that it wants to be sheltered from the pitiless storm of error and vice by the guarding and frioudly roof of intelligence and virtue. Au ignorant family iu our day is an antiquated institution. It smells of the musty past. It is a dark spot which the light of the modern sun has not reached. Let good reading go into & home, and ihe very atmosphere of that home grad ually but surely changes The boys begiu to grow ambitious, to talk about men, places, principles, books, the past aud the future. The girls begin to feel a new life opening before them in knowledge, duty and love. They see fields, of new usefulness and pleasure, Aud so the family changes, aud out from its number go honorable men and women, to fill honorable places and be useful members of society. Let the torch of intelligence be lit iu every household. Let the old and young vie with each other in introducing new and useful topics iof investigation, aud in cherishing a love of reading, study aud improvement. OCCUPATION OF CilKI.S. If parents would allow their daugh ters to follow the bent of their genius in the choice of occupations, and assist, instead of thwarting them, in pursuing the object for which they have a mas tering passion, a great deal of misery and sin would be prevented, and wt? should have far more in tan cos of sue cess, and far more splendid achieve ments to rejoice over than at present. M. D. Conway says that in the suburb of London known as Hammersmith, there lives a Jewish gentleman, of wealth and education, who had a daughter, remarkable among all who knew 'the family for her beauty and her genius. The girl had a patsion to go on the stage, and, Iter parents being invincibly opposed to her project, she ran away from home, and was for some years lotin the great ocean of London life, so far as her relations were con cerned. Nevertheless, one dny she re turned to her parental home, hearty, happy, and with all the early innocence: and beauty, to be welcomed again. In the interval, she had bri-n trair.ed by a trool leaenrr oi smiro elocution sne had been under the sujwrvision of a very eminent actor, now in America, and she had made a successful appear ance on the stae. Such was enough to fulfil and end her dream, so she returned home. For the next year or two she wa the reigning belle in a largo and literary circle, albeit she astonished many by her inclination to utter philosophical and religious para doxes. A year or so ago she was mar ried to a literary gentleman, once in the Indian service, Major B., and their home, which is at Notting Hill, where I write, is the centre of a beautiful hospitality. Hnrely docs a week pass without bringing to their drawing rooms ar'.ists, literatetirs, and particu larly the most cultivated Oriental people in London. The beautiful young hostess charms her guests with her singing, by sometimes giving ex quisite dramatic reflations, and not unfrcqucntly by telling the most quaint end racy anecdotes about her experi ence during her eccentric absence from home. It had for some time been the unanimous wish of her friends that she should tell her story to the world, and at length she has yielded to this urgency. The story is written, and I have reason to believe that when the public has before it tho new novel called "A First Appearance," there will be no small sensation, especially as it will be not very difficult to iden tify some of tho most prominent char acters in the book. Revolution. Depend Upon Yourself. This is written for you, young man. Don't depend upon father's money or position, but make both for yourself. Doctor Frankliu said a good kick out of doors was better than all the rich uncles in the world. A young man left to his own exertions, driven out to stem the tide of fortune, will rise to au eminence to which aflluencc and luxury cannot elevate him. On Friday of last week the residence of Mr. Gto. Simpson, about 4 miles south of Albauy,was entered during the absence of the family, aud ebout fifty dollars worth of wearing apparol stolen, said apparel consisting of two frock coats J und a pair of panta. Gleanings from State Exchange. Receipts of wheat-at Albany su far this season exceed 400,000 bushels. Of flax seed, 20,000 bushels. The Oregon-can of tho 23d instant says: The receipts of the State Fair foot up 813,925 OS, to which is to be added about S200 for licenses, making the total receipts qf t.iis year some $800 more than the receipts of last year. A Bam 'belonging to John Ogle near Fugeno City was burned last week. It contained 000 bushel of wheat, two tine carriages, a wagon aud three horses, all of which were consumed. Ilev. James M. Lovett of the Pacific Con ference, has been transferred by Bishop Keener to take charge of the Corvallis and Albany stations of the Columbia An nual Conference, 31. F.

The dwelling house of Mr J. L. Clinerbread at Wilbur, was destroyed by fire on Sunday 15th inst , caus-iug a loss of 82,000. Thirteen unfortunate fellows who disregarded the precepts of the I. O. (J. T., and iudulge in atimulauts to a degree interdicted by Ordinance No. 475, were presented to Judge Denny this morning and required to pay a fine of from 85 to 810 each for their Saturday and Sunday night's spree -The little steamer Webfoot No. 2 will leave to-day fgr a voyage down the Columbia river. It is, we understand the intention of the owners to stop at all the farms and sawmills, for the purpose of trading with those who seldom come to the city. The boat will be absent about ten days. The track on the Wet Side Railroad has been laid to within a mile of Bcaverton, and will be finished to that point very shortly. In fact the grading is completed to Hillsboro, and we expect to make a trip to that place by rail in about 20 days. Sf.iuoi s ArriiK.NT This morning while some tueu were engaged in mov ing a building along Oak street, near Second, Portland, a man named Frank David, a resident of Washington Terri tory, attempted to pass by, but a lever ued by the workmen flew from its po sition striking him on the side of the face, inflicting a serious wound and knocking Mr. D senseless. He wai attended to promptly, but it will be some time before be fully recovers from his hurts. Wheat at Roscburg is selling at one dollar a bushel. A litttlc singular that buyers can pay that price there. The Statesman is congratulating it self ou the width of S-ileui's streets. The town, it thinks, cau't burn. At Salem hay is selling from wagons at 820 per ton and very scarce ; oats 80 cents. The price of wheat at pres ent is 81 15. A Douglas county paper boasts of a Geld of corn in which the cars arc from ten to twelve inches iu length, with 24 rows of corn to the ear. Apologizing for the tardiness of Eu gene in rai.sing a fund for Chicago, the Guard of that place says : The people of Fugene and vicinity havo a next thing to a Chicago firc on their hands a railroad subscription nearly due and we can hardly look for that generosity on their part which we otherwise would. A letter from Baker City, Oct. 19th. gives this : "To day the Virtue Gold aud Silver Milling Co's steam mill will start up The mill is in splendid or dcr,and the Company have a large force of men taking out rich rock. I saw yesterday a box full tf the rock that Will ceriaimy go cw,vuu iu me iou By next year you may look for great results from Baker county." The Jacksonville Times says : One day last week, while Mr, N. C. Dean was engaged in burning stubble, the fire got beyond his control and consumed 200 panels of fence. This week a fire got out in Lew Culver's field, near Gas burg, and before it could bo arrested, burnt up three thousand rails, Monday while some children were playing with matches near Hon. F. Beall's residence, the grass caught on fire aud reached the house, and only by strenuous exer tions was the latter saved. A man named llaight committed suicide a few miles from Portland on Friday of last week. Tho railroad in Marion County has been assessed at three thousand five hundred dollars a mile.
