Z, FRIENDSHIP'S BROKEN TIES.
Many of us have lost all trace of an old
friend for years. Perhaps the estrange
ment had its origin In some trifling mis
understanding, so utterly time dimmed
now, that memory refuses to call it back
clearly. But our conscience, if we felt
any twinge whatever at the separation, is
lulled into a state of liHtlens, est or care
less neglect, with some suiiy assurances
as these : Some day we shalifigain meet.
Fute will lead us to crons each other's
paths sometime, as w stray .Mown life's
vast valley. Opportunity, will then be
Afforded us, to talk over our Wh mismler
Btanding, to explain away all tunnies, and
brush from our pathway the'11 cobwebs of
broken truHt overshadowing tltU old time
loyalty of esteem. We shall then, hand
In hand, revert to the past and tell each
other why we did this, or why we said
that. Our old happy relations, bo long
obstructed, will again be re-established
and will yet enable us to add many rose
tinted pages to the closing chapter of our
life'ft great volume.
It is not a small matter to allow a gulf
of estrangement to ojKin between two
hearts that have long beaten with friend
ship for each other, l'ride, or in
diflerence it may be, keeps us drift
ing further and further apart. But we
place an utmost faith in time bringing us
together at last. So we wait not im
patiently, but with a vague sort of cer
tainty, for that meeting to occur. Shock
ingly abruptly someone will announce to
us : "Indeed, have you not yet been in
formed? Why, so and so died over a year
ago." The news may not provoke tears.
Perhaps we may not heed it scarcely, at
first. But in the solemn hush of night,
with the sleeping world around us so
like awful mysterious death our thoughts
reach out to that one who will never come
again.
Dead ! Slumlwr is set to flight effect
ually by the train of thought that word
conjures tin.
Leud ! Then we shall see each other
no more. The meeting we have long an
ticipated will never be. Too lato for ex
planations now. No reconciliation can
take place now. Forever it must remain
as it is. For
'A golden chord is severed,
And our hoies in ruin lie."
A thousand vain regrets clamor. Why
did we never write? One line, the simple
word ''Forgive," might have cemented
those broken ties. Why did we not exert
ourselves to bring obout a meeting? Now,
alas I forever too late ! Oh, cruel neglect !
that has allowed this bitter void.
The vears have flown most rapidly since
we drifted apart. We are bo much older.
The lost friend's face rises before us as it
has not done in years. Some distinctive
action of the eye or lip that we had forgot
ten, or some jKsculiar habit of speech,
perhaps comes back to us through the
vista of memory. And now, how sudden
ly dear our friend has become ! We start
up as if to clasp the long impressed hand.
Death has reared .1 13 icy barriers and we
may not. Nevermore ! We realize all is
over between ub. Like two twigs of myr
tle dropped on a turbid stream, we are set
apart forever bore. Will there be a recon
ciliation accorded us up there?
Appreciate friendship while va may.
For friendship's ties once severed, life's
brevity, time's never pausing flight, anil
the harshness of circumstances, are all
antaKonistic to a reunion. St Louis

The price we American women have to
pay for our bonnets, if we pretend to buy
good ones from reputable milliners, is
often sometimes ruinous. Eighteen dol
lars is the least you can get a bonnet you
would look at for, and from that price
runs up to $:!5, says a writer in the New
York Graphic.
W omen who pitv working women are
very loath to beat down the prices set
upon a piece of woman's handiwork
but what is there to do? Is a woman
who has positively no knack of twisting
velvets and ribbons either to go about
looking like a dowdy in a bud drearri of
lier own, or pay three times yes, four
times as much as the material cost ior a
well-made atlair? If she lias plenty of
money, well and good, but if she has to
count her coniiera in order to look decent-
ly well, it is very trying for her. She
knows it is not the milliner's fair woiit
that she is paying for, but the bills that
- richer women than she refuse to pay.
She knows very well that Mrs. So-and-so,
who buys her bonnets of a certain mil
liner, never pays for them, and when
she is overcharged from ten to fifteen
dollars herself she naturally objects. In
: self-defense she must either go flying
about trying to find a cheap place, though
not a guady one, or she must make one
bonnet take the place of two.
Many women would give their testi
mony to this were they asked, 1 am sure,
for instances Bre not lacking. For in
stance, it is not two weeks since it was
desirable for me; to own an absolutely
plain black tulle bonnet. I do not mean
an olaborate affair, simply a frame (seventy-five
cents) covered with gathered
black tulle (fifty cents a yard). I went to
a milliner shop forewarned and forearmed
with five dollars. What do you suppose
the dame to whom I went had the audac
ity to snv was a "bargain" for me?
.Twelve dollars! Neither strings or rib
bons nor adornments of any sort, simply
a dollar and a half's worth of material
and a half day's time of a milliner's girl.
I do not wish to be niggardly and I do
not wish to be saucy, but 1 was tempted
to be both when that woman snitfea np
her none at my polite refusal of her gen
erous ofler, and looked me up and down
frontwise and then loftily moved around
to see if my dress titted m the back. If
"there is any course of treatment that
makes me boil all over it is to have a
vulgar, fast, gum-chewing girl saucy to
me.
Nnhodv nities more than I do a hard-
working.'honest girl, worn out with long
days, ungrateful, thoughtless rules and
regulations, com polled by want to give
her life and health and beauty and
strength and time for barely enough to
pay for a hard bed and poor food. No
body would do more, if they had the
means to do with, to mitigate the hard
ness of their wavs and make them hap
pier. Nevertheless, with this pity and
ontniiARHion there is lyine semi-dormant,
semi-rampant in my breast a strong de
termination to give one or two of the in
solent class of shop gins a tnorougn les

NICE, BUT THEY COME HIGH.
Jones took advantage of oao of onr glp
rious days last summer, and invited his
best girl out on the lake in a row-boat.
She went, and appeared to enjoy the trip,

The "sweet tlJng in calico" became in
terested in the shipping, and it would
have required an old clerk at "Lloyd's"
to answer her queries in regard to the rig
of the various craft to be seen in the off
ing. At last our friend ceased rowing,
took a seat beside his charmer, and de
voted his whole attention to enlightening
her upon the difference between schoon
ers, brigs, and ships, illustrating each
by pointing out a vessel of the kind des
cribed. Strange to sav, Jones soon tired of the
great strain on his imagination required
to eke out a slight amount of maritime in
formation, and sat very close to the dear
seeker for knowledge, in order to get in
the siiade of her parasol. Just then she
descried a small craft tacking in shore,
ana inquired :
"What kind of a ship is that?"
Jones at once "embraced the opportu
nity" as he replied :
'That is only a fishing smack, my
love."
"Oh ! I think they are nicer than the
big ones, don't you ?"
They are married now.
ALL WOOL AND A YARD WIDE.
A woman weighing 369 jwunds, wear
ing her hair cut short, entered the office
of the president of the San Antonio Street
Railroad Company, and in a voice that
was a cross between a baBs violin and a
boiler-shop, said :
"I came here to complain of the driver
of one of your cars."
What s lie been domes asked the of
ficial.
"In crossing the car-track I had the
misfortune to slip and fall, and I could
not get up right away, for, as you see, I
am not barah iiernhart. I'm fat all
over."
"Well, what next?"
"The driver of the street car stopped
his mule and insulted me."
"What did he say?"
"He said if I would get up and let him
drive on that I could sit down again on
the car track as soon as the car had pass
ed." "I shall have him reprimanded," said
the oftiical.
"Thank you, sir, thank you. I'll pat
ronize your street car line hereafter, that
is, if the door is wide enough. Good
morning, sir."

WHERE' GENUS IS ADMIRED.
A Btranger who had just arrived at a
country hotel in Arkansas became in
volved in a discussion with the clerk.
Finally the stranger, striking the rough
pine counter with his fist, exclaimed:
"You are the biggest liar in Arkansas!"
The clerk, instead of becoming offended,
said: Let me see you a minute, please."
He drew the stranger aside, and remark
ed: "Who told you?" "Who told me
what?" "That I'm the biggeBt liar in the
state." "No one." "Then how did you
find it out?" "I kne it at a glance."
"My friend," said the clerk, affectionate
ly platting one hand on the stranger's
shoulders, "you are the sharpest man I
ever saw. It took nie some time te find
it out, but I am the biggest liar in the
state, it you were as good a judge ot a
boss as you are of a man you could soon
got rich in this country. Stay at our
house as long as you please, and your
board shall not cost you a cent. You
will not find a place in this country where
genius is admired as much as it is at this
hotel. Arkansas I raveller.
NOTHING MORE TO SAY.
A few days ago Col. B. F. Swartz of
Maryland called at the White House to
recommend the appointment ol a friend
to otlice, and reports the conversation he
had with the President with a gloomy
and discouraged tone. Savs Col. Swartz :
' I told him the candidate was a good
man, and a consistent, sound, and lite-
long Democrat. Jie is one of the best
Democrats I ever knew," exclaimed the
Colonel, warming with his subject.
"What has that to do with the case?"
asked the President.
This statrnered Swartz, but as soon as
he could pull himself together lie replied :
"Well, Mr. president, it you cannot see
what it tias to do with the case, 1, at least,
have no more to sav.

eyed man, in a faltering way, as he rose
in the dock of the Police Court, at, the
clerk's call of "John Doe."
"Chestnut," muttered the bailiff under
his breath, and the court began moving
uneasily in his Beat.
"I am a teetotaler," continued the vie

breath toward the open door. " You see
I went into a barber shop on Tehama

MRS. FRANCES M. PATTON.
On Wednesday, December 7th, 1880,
at 2 o'clock p. m., at Salem, Oregon, after
a lingering illness, Mrs. Frances M. Pat-
ton passed from earth to heaven. In
her death this community loses one who
has been known and respected among us
for a period of more than thirty years.
Mrs. Patton was born on f,he 3rd day
of August, 1837, in F.rie county, Ohio,
and the greater portion of her childhood
was sient in that state. In 1851, her
father, the late Hon. E. N. Cooke, re
moved to this state, reaching Salem on
the 10th day of October, 1851, where he
resided until the year of his death, which
occurred in 1879. Among the company
who came witli Mr. Cooke was Hon. T.
McF. Patton, then a young man, who
joined them in their camp at Council
Bluffs, where for the first time he met
her, who, within a few years thereafter,
became his wife.
Mrs. Patton upon her arrival in Salem
began attending school at the Willamette
University, of which Rev. Dr. F. S. Hoyt,
now of Cincinnati, was president, and
whare for about three years she was a
pupil of Mrs. Gen. AV. H. Odell. On the
3d day of August, 1854, her 17th birth
day, she was married to Mr. Patton,
Rev. Dr. Hoyt officiating. The first year
of her married life was spent in Jackson
ville, but at the earnest desire of her
parents she and her husband then re
turned to Salem, where, with the excep;
tion of two years spent in Hiogo, Japan!
at which "place Mr. Patton was U. S. con
sul, she resided continuously until the
day of her death. Soon after her arrival
in Salem Mrs. Patton united with the
Congregational church, of which Rev. O.
Dickinson was at that time pastor, and
her relation as a member of that church
continued throughout her life. She was
also connected with other religious and
benevolent associations having for their
object the alleviation of distress and the
dispensing of charity. She was among
the first to connect herself with Oregon
Orphan's Aid society, of which she was a
life member, and in which as a member
and officer she rendered many years of
active and efficient service.
More than a year ago. during her resi
dence in Japan, she was informed, for
the first time, that she would at most
live but a few short months. With the
resignation of a true Christian she ac
cepted her fate without repining, but
with an earnest longing that the final
summons might be delayed until she
could return to her home in balem,
where she might die amid the sweet com
panionships of her girlhood days. Leav'
ing Hiogo coming home to die she
reached San Francisco on January 22,
1886, and a few days thereafter found
herself again at home. Here, for a short
time, she seemed to gam a new hold upon
life. Here were spent the years of her
young womanhood here were the com
panions of her school days here were
borne, mother, children, and all of the
most hallowed associations of her life.
Every relief that human skill could af
ford, and every ministration of human
sympathy and love, was hers, thus for
months her feet pressed upon the shores
of the dark river, her tired spirit falter
ing not, but patiently awaiting the final
summons, and looking forward with the
eyes of faith to the sure reward of a well-
ordered hie. Death for her had no ter
rors. It was simply a release from suf
fering, a happy transition to the life be-
vond, an entrance upon happiness eter
nal. A few days ago she was permitted
to visit again the old family homestead,
and to feast her eves once more upon
this and other familiar scenes, returning
thence to her home, never to go forth
again until she was taken to her narrow
home, to rest beside the ashes of her
sainted father until the day of the great
resurrection.
Scarcely of middle age, her life had
yet ripened into full fruition. While yet
flushed with the glow of the morning,
the evening grew around her, and night
came and gathered her within its folds.
To-day, her friends, standing about her
coffin, and before her open grave, felt the
sweet influences of her gentle nature,
and gathered new inspirations from mem
ories coming up from the past like the
fragrant perfume of beautiful flowers.
The remembrances of thirty years spent
within our common home awakened
in manv hearts a keen sense of per
sonal loss beyond the power ef human
expression and little understood by those
who, knowing her simply as a gentle, re
fined and cultivated woman, felt in her
death no pang of personal bereavement.
Xlie plainest truth is at once her high
est eulogy, and the sincerest tribute that
can be offered to her memory. Her
character was one of sweetness and sim
plicity without self-assertion, but with a
refinement that well displayed her fine
and sensitive nature full of zeal and de
votion, temjered with modesty and hu
mility, she took up the burdens ot life,
and with rare fidelity in every relation,
as daughter, as wife, as mother, at home,
in the church, and in society at large, she
displayed the highest qualities ot a
Christian womanhood.
Having borne with cheerfulness and
with a truo Christian spirit all of the
trials, and discharged with fidelity every
duty of life, she calmly awaited the ap
proach of death, sustained by an unfalter
ing trust, and upheld by a sublime
faith in the promises of that religion of
which she had been for so many years so
devout and consistent a disciple.
HE MUST EAT.
The manager of an unfortunate local
theatrical venture was negotiating for a
certain dramatic attraction to fill the fol
lowing week of dates. He received a
telegram from the agent of ihe company,
agreeing to come for eighty per cent of
the gross receipts. Although staggered
at first by such unheard-of terms, the
Lowell manager recovered sufficiently to
wire a reply in these words :
"Cannot give you more than sixty-five
per cent. Willing to go ragged. Must
eat." Lowell Citizen,
ANOTHER LIFE 8AVKI.
Mrs. Harriot Cummrngs, of Cincinnati, Ohio,
writes: Karly last winter my daughter was at
tacked with a severe cold, which settled on her
lungs. We tried several medicines, none of
which seemed to do her any good, but she con
tinued to get worse, aud finally raised large
ainouuts of blood from her lungs. We called
iu a family physician, but he failed to do her
any good. At this time a friend who had beeu
cured by DR. WM. HALL'S BALSAM FOR THE

A GOOD STOYE.
At Dairyville these pleasant days the
evenings get cool quite suddenly. Sat
urday afterlloon Judge Charles Lind was
kept quite busy selling sets of harness
and taking men's measure for special
sets they wanted made to order. He was
kept so much on the jump that he did
not notice how cool it was getting in his
store, and had not yet started' up his
evening fire. Presently an old gentle
man and his wife entered and wanted to
get some harness. While the proprietor
was busy showing the husband the goods
the wife drew her chair up to the big iron
safe and putting her feet up on its side.
nen the hUBband had bought what he
wanted he said, "Well, wife, let's go."
And the wife anBwered : "Willingly.
Richard, willingly; and I want vou to
drive fast so we can get home to our own
stove, where there is some heat ; these
air-tight stoves in stores are no good for
any use." Heppner Gazette.
TIRED OUT.
When natural gas was first made use
of in Pittsburg for fuel, the agent of a
company wanted an old Dutchman to be
come a customer.
"I tell yo all aboudt dot." replied the
old man as he felt of the back of his head.
"It vhas all right if nature makes dot gas
for'nothings, but I has discovered dot
when somebody vhorks for nothings he
gets tired out bye-and-bye and goes on a
strike that makes your head shwim."
some ot the natural gas wells are now
on a strike which will probably have no
end. Wall Street News.
DISCOURAGED AT THE OUTSET.

"i hear you think of starting a factory ?"
"Yes." -
"It'a a good place, and you'll find our
