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.
