A magnificent assortment of fancy

resers. .f. B. Fulton and Geo. Af.
Fulton, two intelligent and enterpris
ing farmers of Washington county,
Iowa, arrived in Union Saturday
morning. They aro visiting this sec
tion of the stato for the purpose of
looking at the country and investiga
ting its resources. Sunday, our enter
prising real estate men, Wilson &
llackott, chartered a coach and four
from John S. Elliott and inviting tho
tho two gentlemen to a Feat therein,
spont the day in driving about tho
country showing up its productive
soil and various advantages. On their
way through tho Cove tho party
stopped at the place of Mr. Allen and
devoured a largo luscious watermelon,
and feeling refreshed and fully satis
fied they proceeded through tho beau
tiful little village of tho Cove and ar
rived at Sir. II. J. Geer's place at
about noon where they found the
largest orchard of apples, plums,
prunes and pears in the valley, com
piling about fifteen acros of ground,
aUo about eight acres of fine hops
which were being ticked by China
men and prepared lor market. After
feasting with eyes ' and mouth for
about two hours, and partaking of the
hospitalities of the liberal owners, II.
J. Goer it Son, tho party then proceed
ed through tho grain and hay produc
ing section lying in thq vicinity of
Cove, seeing tho lands which produce,
even this very dry season, 45 bushels
of wheat and two tons of hay per acre.
After tho completion of their tour the
two Iowa gentlemen wore ready to
render a verdict, that Grando Hondo
valley, so far as seen by them, is ono
of the lines!, watered and best looking
countries it had over been their pleas
ure of teeing. They aro delighted
with tho water advantages of tho city
of Union and appearance generally of
tho city. They will remain iu thia
section about a week and may then
visit Willamette vulley before return
ing east. This country needs thous
ands of just Mich enterprising anil in
telligent citizens us Messrs. Fulton to
make this section bloom and bloasom
and show up its truo but latent re
sources. Come among us, gentlemen,
and bring with you as many of your
neighbors as Ksible and we can guar
antee to you, and them, better results
with leas work, choHjier laud just m

Professor II. A. Wilder, of Spokane
Falls, lectured on Monday and Tues
day evenings in' this city to fair audi
ences, his subject being "Civil Govern
ment and Ueligiou." The fact of his
lectures bring given in tho church led
us to believe that he was an advocate
of the Hlair Sunday bill and favored
the move on foot looking to tho un
ion of Church and State. Wo wore
agreeably surprised to find (hat his
i ideas aro exactly tho rovcree of this.
While professing to be a Christum he
I opposes any union of Church and
' Slate or tho passage of stringent Sun
day laws, maintaining that no author
ity for such can bo found in the Uiblo
or tho experience of successful civil
governments. lie thinks that no man
can be made religious by force, and
holds that it is tho idea of Protestant
ism to persuade and appeal to the
moral nature of man, consequently it
can havo no atfilliation with Catholi
cism which would sot ecclesiastical
authority above the civil, and bring
force to bear when1 persuasion Jails.
Ho says that tho petition to congress
for the passage of the I?lair Sunday
bill was signed by nearly every Catho
lic in the United States, anil ho be
licvoB it is a deep laid plan on tho part
of that church to further its own inter
cuts, mid with it Protestantism should
havo nothing to do.
Tho Professor is a fluent and pleas
ant speaker and wu regiot that our
limited time and space forbids a more
extended notice of his lectures. We
trust ho will favor us aguin iu
tho
future.

You aro going out in tho world, my boy,
To tight lifo's battle through,

And ilrst of all I'll tell you now,
What 'or may Ihi your plan,
Shun evil ways and always try
To he an honest man.
Kumi'iiiber, boy, iu early life
The HL'cd.s of Inter years aro sown,
And he who reaches man's estate,
Should, by good dueds, ho known.
Temptation oft may cross your path
.My hoy, stoop not to sin,

And you will laurels win;
Will never fail to win a namo
Untarnished, truuand bravo;
Will never fail to win suuh praibu
As manly hearts doth crave;
3 1 nt ho who seeks thodownward road,
Can never win renown ;
Then strive to do what 'or is right,
And success will each bravo effort crown.
Then learn to shun temptation's wiles,
While iuyour youthful days.
Though daz.Iing they may nooin to you,
They'll bring no mood of praise;
And though dark shadows 'round then

Wherein no rays of sunlight gleam,
Ho over upright, ju.st and true,
Though rough the way may seem.
