XWBITTKN FOR THK ASTORIAN. What is that In woman so hard to ac count for, That holds us eDcbained ashy magical spell? Is it some subtle essence permeating her nature, With a magnetic force superior to will ? Or perhaps the lithe form, with eacli graceful motion, Or faultless form'd fealuies that beauty hath lined, -Ora whimsical myth, lined by our own notion, Or is it the soul that's reflected by mind. j)c is it a phantom, from childhood hath chased as, That peeped from the soul through, the motherly eyes, When down by her fcnees she tenderly placed us, ''nd mentally knelt at a throne in the skies, And hung o'er our couch with a look sad and tender, .When sickness arrested our paiJering feet, With love quickened zeal her attentions to render To each childish want that her judg ment thought meet Or the sisterly love we often presumed on, And taught us the gauge line affec tions to prove, By rare self denial, the safest criterion, By which we can measure a woman's pure love. Or in the bland look, and the smile so bewitching, That slwots through the heart and half crazes the brain, Or in the pure-minded, each beauty en- riching, We oftener find in the face plain. "we term 'Though pleasantly moved hy each heau- tif il feature The gem that detains us is beauty of mind. Though not so enriched by the beauty of nature, If modest, retiring, sympathetic and kind, The eyes are the magnet by which we'r attracted, And wakes in our bosom an answer ing thrill And draws from its depths by soul-liglit lefracled, Our-innermost thoughts in despite of our skill. The eyes are the tell-tales of thought and of feelings, The windows that let out the light of the soul, In their lucid depths we mark the re vealing Of secrets that love from its keeping hath stole. ' The Ragged Bard. Clatsop, Oct 9,1877. 'Good Advice. The following piece of good advice we clip from the Louisville Courier Journal, follow it closely and see if it will not apply just as well as it would elsewhere: "Don'fc sit down and say "damn the Dutch." Do like they do. Uet up and go to work. If things atn't lively enough, put your shoulder to the w Heel -of commerce and trade and in getting tlte road wagon of old fogyism put of the mire. Hitch the muie of -energy in the shafts, take' the u-htp ofenterprise in your hand, and make the dust fly along the road of pro gress. Get up dod hlast j'our lazy bo'dies, advertise your business, let tlie people throughout country know who you are, and what you've got to sell, and, our w.ord for it, you,ll-have something to do and think about this fall than to.eit.and smt for -business fo pome .toyou and ".cuss the Dutch.
