Oh, how happy are they,
"Who the Printer do pay,
And have Squared up for one year more-
Tongue cannot express
The great joy ol the " Press/'
When delinquent? havo paid the old score.
Printers all the day long,
Labor hard for a " Song,"
Oh, that all their hard fate you could sec—
They have worked night and day,
And of course want their pay,
To buy, sugar, and coffee, and tea.
One would hardly believe,
What few dimes they receive,
For (be paper addvesscd to each name—
Yet, 'tis further below
Than some people know,
Or they'd pay up for fear or for shame.

A wnggish chap, whose vixen wife,
By drowning lost her precious life,
Called ou his neighbors all around,
And told 'em that his spouse was drowned,
And, spite of search, could not be found.
He knew, he said, the very nook,
Where she had tumbled in the brook.
And he had dragged aloug the shore,
Above tho place a mile or more.
" Above the piace I" the people cried,
" Why, what d'ye mean?"    The mau replied,
" Of course, you don't suppose I'd go,
And waste the time to look below ?
I've known the woman quite a spell,
And learnt her fashions rather well—
Alive or dead, she'd go, I swow,
Against the current anyhow 1"

po",3eEsing a good deal of ihe lazily-rounded drawl
of London's West Eud fistocracy. This partly
arises from ihe fact ol O'Brien having been educated in a tho'ough EngH h school—Rugby. It i6
only by the formation and wording of his sentence ■
thai one can tell lhat ho is an Irishman, and, al"
though ho is now studying- " o'd Irish," you cannot find a pari tele of Ihe '■ rich J irU brogue" upon
his tongue. He speaks slowly and cau'iously, detest:: slang, avoids vulgarity, pu^s or jokes, and is
very choice in makiog hia language ot as classic a
style as possible.   While he wou ke an excel
lent ParliamenLaiiau in his country, he could nev.
er effect much at making stump speeches, or mob
speeches in America. He has a slight liBp, which
makes his delivery sound still more English-like.
He never, therefore, could haye spoken the sen.
tence below, attributed to him by a correspondent
of one ofthe Petersburg papers, who says : " Mr-

Col. Richard M. Johnson, the slayer ot Tecumseh, used to narrate an anecdote about a parson
by lhe nemo of Sacket, who was chaplain of his j
regiment, during the ludian wars in which he was
engaged. The chaplain was a firm believer in the
doctrine of predestination, and in his sermons to
the troops be was in the habit of enforcing thia
tenet, and dwelling on tt very strongly. Ue urged
upon tha soldiers to go into batt'o with perfect
confidence that no harm would befall them, for
they could not die before their time come, let
them be exposed ever so much. This kind of
preaching made good soldiers, and Col. Johnson
always found bis men ready to do whatever he or.
dered, however desperate it might be. But the
chaplain could fight es well aa preach, being a
stalwart man of great muscle, and of indomitable
spirit. On one occasion, when the battle waxed
furious, and the chances looked desperate, the par*
son armed himself for the fight, and look his place
io Uhe fore-front of tbe fray. There he mowed
down the enemy, piling up the bodies around him
in a perfect hecatomb. When the field was won,
it was found that twenty-niue of the enemy were
heaped up in death around the spot where the
chaplain had stood. Col. Johnson accosted the
valiant preacher with words of hearty thanks for
his gallant and timely service, and asked him how
it happened that he, a man of peace, had killed so
many of the foe 1 To this very question of the
commander, Sacket replied, " Why, colonel, I
don't know how it was, unless their time had
come."

Don't Tare tub Raphes.— Some time ago a
lady noticing her neighbor was not in her seat
in church one Sabbath, called on her returning
home to inquire what could have detained so
punctual an attendant. On entering the house
she found the family busy at v/crk. She was surprised when her friend addressed her :
"Why, la! where have you been to-day, dresBed
up in your Sunday clothes?"
"To meeting-."
"Why, what day is it ?"
"Sabbath day."
"Sal, stop washing in a minute I Sabbath day !
Well, I didn't know, for my husband has got so
plaguey stingy that he won't take the paper, and
we don't know nothing—well, who preached ?"
Mr. ."
"What did he preach about?"
"It was on the death of onr Saviour."
"Is he dead ?—I didn't know he was sick I"
After a pause—"Well, all Boating   might be
dead and we not know about it. It won't do—must
have the newspaper again, for everything goes
wrong without a paper.   Billy has almost lost his
reading, and Polly tes got right mopish again,
because she has no poetry to read.   If we have to
take a cart load of potatoes and onions to mrrket,
I must have a newspaper!"
The Southwest Baptist says: The following remarkable production was found among the papers
of an aged and very pious gentleman, now deceased. It is well worthy the attention of the curious. There is no doubt that it involves an important secret, as the deceased was known to have
been a man of unusual excellence and worth of
character:—

Tlie Buain ui" Devotion.
BY GEOItGB P. HOBEia.
I never could find a good reasou
Why sorrow unbidden should stay,
And all the bright !oys of life's season
Be driven unheeded away.
Our cares would make no more emotion,
Were we to our lot but resigned,
Than pebbles thrown into the ocean,
That leave scarce a ripple behind.
The world has a spirit ot beauty,
Which looks upon all for the best—
And, while it m*ehurges its duty,
To Providence leaves all the rest:
That spirit's the beam of devotion,
Which lights us through life to its close,
And sets like the sun in the ocean,
More beautiful far than it rose.

Oregon.
At- everything relating to the new (State of Oregon ie interesting just at this time, we give the
following description of the country, furnished by
a correspondent of the Telegram; although not
original, it will be new to many readers :—
Oregon extends three degrees or 2S0 miles from
North to South, and 14- degrees or COO miles from
east to west. This is the extent of Oregon, politically consideredj but the settled portion .of Oregon, and the only portion likely to possess much
importance for many years, is that district west of
the Cascade mountains, aud only 120 miles from
cast to west. The district east of the Cascades is
entirely different in climate, soil, vegetation, present condition anrl future prospects.
Western Oregon, between the Cascades and the
PaciSc, is made up chiefly of three valleys, those
of the Willamette, Umpqua, and Rogue River.
Tho first named stream begins iu the Cascade
mountains, runs west 00 miles, theu turns northward, runs 140 miles and empties into the Columbia. The laBt two begin in the Cascades aud run
westward to the ocean. There are. perhaps, several thousand miners, Including Chinamen, in the
Rogue River Valley ; but nearly the whole permanent farming population is iu the Valley of tlie
Willamette. This valley, taking the word in its
more restricted sense of the low land, is from thir-
ty to torty miles wide, and one hundred and twenty miles long. This may be said to be the whole
of agricultural Oregon. It is a beautiful, fertile,
well-watered plain, wilh a little timber along the
streams, and a great deal in the mountains on each
side. The soil is a gravelly clay, covered near
the creeks and rivers with a rich, sandy loam_
The vegetation of the valley is composed of several indigenous grasses, a numher of Cowering
plants and ferns, the latter being very abundant,
and exceedingly troublesome to the farmer on ac.
count of its extremely tough vitality.
The tributary streams of the Willamette are
very numerous, and their course in the valley is
usually crooked, as the main stream itself is, having many sloughs, bayous, or arms, as they are
differently called. In some places the land is
marshy, and everywhere. Drouth will never be
known in Western Oregon ; its eliinate is very
wei both summer and winter—the latter season
being one long rain, and the former consisting of
many short ones, with a little sunshine intervening. The winters are warm, and the summers
rather cool—too cool for growing melous, maize,
and sweet potatoes. Wheat, oaiB, barley, potatoes
and domestic animals thrive well. The climate.
take it all in all, is much like that of England,
and all plants and animals which do in Britain,
will prosper in Oregon. The Oregon fruit is ex.
cellent, particularly the apples and plums: the
peaches and pears are uot quite so good aa those
of California.
Ali along the coast of Oregon there is a range
of mountains about forty miles wide, and they are
so densely timbered with cedar, pine, f-pruca and
fir that the density of the wood alone would render them worthless for au age if they were not
nigged. But Ihey are very rugged,' and the
Umpqua and Rogue rivers, in making their way
through them, have not been able to get any bot-
"}' torn lauds, and are limited to narrow, high walled
' canons. The only tillable lands on the banks ot
those rivers are about fifty miles from the sea,
each having a valky v.hich, ia general terms may
be described as .twelve miles wide by thirty long'
*<wue River Valley ia separated from California

Oak and ash are care,
coniferous.
At Oregon City there is a fall in the Willamette
river, which furnishes a great water power. There
in also a great water power at the Cascades and
at the Dalles, where there are falls in the Columbia. Elsewhere water power Is scarce, except in
places difficult of ftooesa.
In Rogue River Valley and along the beach of
the Pacific there arc extensive gold diggings
There are also large seams of tertiary coal at
Cooee Bay. These are the only valuable minerals
in the new State. The scenery on the Columbia Is
grand from Walla Walla, where it first touches
Oregon, to the ocean. There are five mountain
peaks in tiie State rising to the region of perpettia]
snow : Mt. Hood, 13,700 feet high ; Tilt. Jefferson,
11,700; the Three Sisters, Mt. Scott and Mt. He.
Laughlin, all about 9,000 feet high.
The pooulation numbers 12,000 voters, and
about 46,000 souls in all; most of whom are emigrants from Missouri and Illinois. They are generally intelligent, industriousaad moral. There
about a dozen newspapers published in Oregon,
all of them weeklies. The chief exports are wheat.
flour, apples, butter, cheese, salted salmon, salted
meats and coals, and from 10,000 to 20,000 head
of horned cattle and sheep are annually driven to
California.
Salmon are very abundant in tho Columbia and
its tributaries, and those takeu at the mouth ol
the main stream are said to be the best on the ccast-
The fishing is done chiefly by Indians.

Besides the  above, there are two in Pittsburgh

01% Franklin'* Only Son.
As the name of Franklin la ever so prominently
before the public, it may not bo  uniiiferesling fo
give some account of his only son, William, about
whom we think little is known by the community
at [:;;:■■    Unlike his  father, whose chief claim is
fur the invaluable services he rendered his country
in her greatest need, the son was, from the first to
fhe last, a devoted loyalist.   Beloce the Revolutionary war he held several civil   and  military
offices of importance.    At   the  commencement of
the war he held the office oCGovenior of New Jersey, whieh appointment ho received in 1773.—
When the difficulties between the mother country
and tho colonies were coming to a crises, he threw
his whole influence in favor of loyalty, and   endeavored to prevent the Legislative Assembly of
New Jersey from sanctioning the proceedings of
the Genersl Congress  of Philadelphia.    These ef.
(oris, however did but little to stay   the tide ol
popular sentiment in favor of resistance to tyranny, and only involved him in difficulty,   lie was
deposed from office by the Whigs, to give place to
William Livingston, and sent a prisoner to Connec.
ticut, where he remained two years in EastPiiidor,
iu  tne  house  of Captain Ebcnezor Grant, near
where the Theological Semi nary "now Btauds,   In
1778 he was exchanged   and soon jitter wards wont
to England.   There he spent the remainder of hi
life, receiving a pension from the British Govern*
ment for tho loss he sustained by his fidelity.    He
diedjtn 1813, at tho age  of 82.    As might have
xpected, his opposition to the cause of liberty, so dear to the heart of his falhcr, produced an
estrangement between them.   Por years fhey had
no Intercourse.   When, in 1.781, the eon wrote fo
his father, in his reply, Dr. Franklin says ; "Nothing has ever hurt mo so much, and affected me
with such keen sensations, as to find myself deserted in my old age, by my only son, and not only
deserted, but to find him  taking up arms against
me in a cause wherein my good fame, fortune and
life, were all at stake."
In his will, also, he alludes to the part bis son
had acted. After making some bequests, he adds :
" The part he acted against me in the late war,
which is of public notoriety, will account for my
leaving him no more of an estate he endeavored
to deprivs mo of.":
The patriotism of the father slands forth all the
brighter when contrasted with the desertion of his
son.—Neioberry (S. C.)  Herald.

and its is only needed tocoutinuo the line to Tucson.

most beseechingly says : " We want wives!" We
suspect that it is cold and gloomy up there ; but
don't let us mitigate the cry—" We want wives I"

Our Militia and our Army.—The new Army
Register gives the total of militia iu the Union at
2,724,420. The regular army consists of 19 regiment'-; 10 of infantry ; 4 of aitillery ; 1 of mounted riflemen; and two each of cavalry and dragoons.    The total force is about 1(1,000.
Revenge is longer lived thau gratitude,
dorse Mr. Smith's note to keep him from bursting
and he will forget all about it in a month. Pull
Mr. Smith's nose and he will cherish a secret desire to burn your house down for the remainder of
his life. Revenge is a passion. Gratitude appears
to be only a sentiment. We cau all hate ; but it
is only one man in a huudred that possesses eeuso
enough tobe thankful.
Burns AMD ins Wims,—At the Burns celebration in New York, Dr. Francis thus related his in"
terview with bonnieJean—
" Madam," said the doctor, " your husband was
a great man."
" So they all tell me," said the good wife, " bu'
Robert never said a word to me about it,and he wafl
seldom at home."
Xa an Irish provincial journal there is an adver

The doctor wrote a prescription and retired.
The recipe ran thus—
"When you see double you will find relief by
counting your money."
"Doctor," said a despairing man to bis physician, "I am in a dreadful state, I can neither luy
nor ait; what shall I do?"
"Why, then," replied the doctor very gravely,
"I think you had better roust.'"
A wit being told that an old aotjuatntance was
married, exclaimed :
" I am glad lo hear it." But reflecting a moment, he added, in a toue of compassion aud for*
getlulness, " aud yet I dou't know why I should

"I am afraid," said a person of questionable, or
unquestionable habils, "that I am likely to have
water on the brain,"
"You will never have it on the stomach,'' wofl
