What .Call I mnkeof thee?
And In hta mind -UCb visions TOBO
A. Mahomet', follower, see
In opium dreams ol future ecstasy,
Eyes like the Syren's that could vivify
Did bli rapt fancy hold;
Treeae. and Painter’s art would bathe In

But with the Syren'a eyes looked forth a
planes
That bore the slime of aln!
And waviiie m iray, thoMtrsaaesdance
From every mesh within!
For shining on him from his early days
Two pure eyes meet his own—
Guileless as violets In the woodland ways,
When spring around has thrown
The sweetest garlands that the calls her own.
Ah not no lasting beauty dwells with tin,
Wh.ie'er her charms may he!
To model trice no honors would 1 win—
My aim be Purity!
For in those eyes I loved, her face I tee.
—Salem Observer.
Anil whispers to me as 1 pass;
I catch the gleam of Hying leet,
I smell a perfume warm and sweet.
A sudden light, a nettling sound,
Fleet swiftly o'er the dewy ground,
And fade In yonder copse away.
Where lurking shadows cheat the day.
What eye hath teen that dimpled face?
Who yet hath found that secret place.
The refuge In the dim, cool shade,
Where fleet and hides tbe laughlng maid?
The ever-changing loveliness,
The lightsome grace, the airy wiles
Wherewith coy nature masks her smiles,
And stealing on her unawares,
Behold her when the la most fair.

A FEW WORDS TO GIRLS.
Changes of Character Between the Agee
of Slateen nnd Thirty Years,
Mr. John Siegel In the Phrenological Journal
for May.
A lady of intelligence and observttlon
lias remarked, "I wish I could impress up
on the minds of the girls that the chief end
of women is not to many yonng."
If girls could only be brought to believe
that their chances for a happy marriage
were better alter twenty-fire than before,
there would be mnch lets misery in the
world than thete now is. To be sure, they
might not have eo many opportnnitiea to
marry after that age as before, 6ut as they
do not need to many bnt one at a time, it
is necessary that one shonil be satirise
tory. As a girl grows older, If she thinks
at all, she certainly becomts more capable
of judging wbat would make her happy
than when younger.
How many girls of twenty wonld think
of accepting the man they would gladly
haTe married at sixteen? At thirty a wo
min who ts somewhat independent, and
not over anxious to msrry, Is mnch harder
to please and more careful In her choice
then one of twenty. There le good reason
lor this. Her mind has Improved with her
years, and abc now looks beyond mere ap
pearances In judging of men. She la apt
to ask If this man who Is so very polite in
company Is really kind-hearted? Do his
pollie actions spring from a happy, get.ill
nature? or is his attractive demeanor put
on for the cross ion. and laid of! at home as
he lays oil his coat?
A very young girl tekes it for granted
that men are always ts sht sees them in
socii ty, polite, friendly, and on their good
mother for a confidant le not so anxio s to
leave the shelter of her home to take ''the
leap in the dark." For what is It bnt a
leap in the dark?—a species of sliverv to
one-half the rotten who marry. How
many women can truly say. "We must not
emect too much In this life." and with a
little algb let the question drop.
If It were not for the illusion that seems
Inseparable from the mind ol yonth, there
wonld be probably few marriages com
paratively. If they taw It as It la; «\w It
with rational eyes, with the glamor of ro
mance brushed away. In all its naked
truthfulness, many wonld be opt to esy, "I
wonld be worse oil then than 1 ara now. It
Is better to bear my bnrden alone than to
add another to it, or add to another^."
A very mischievous writer once said:
"An offer ol marriage is tbe highest com
pliment a man can pay a womsn.” Ids
in some lew cases. A great many women
liave learned to their sorrow that it would
have been nearer the truth II it had been
written "injustice" Instead of compliment.
' Here is an instance: A young man decides
that be baa reached an age when It would
be welt for him to take a wile and aettle
dowD. He baa just started in life, and bae
enough to furnish a house plainly aud
comfortable. He and ah hla friends think
tbe best thing he can do Is to marry. He
looks around for a wile. Does he 1-xik for
one in-the same station with himself ? for
one who is earning her own living, who
has had experience In the tckcol of econo
my, who has bad a hard struggle end
come C.U conqueror, and would he a true
helpmate to him. and who wants a help
mate for herself? No. He goes into socie
ty and looks around for tbe beat snd most
attractiva girl he can find. He meets a
beautiful young lady, delicately brought
np, fashionably educated, amiable, confid
ing, nnd helpless. He is charmed and de
cides she is the ODehe would like to marry.
There his reasoning stops. He "makes
love," of course, and "compliments" her
wiih the offer of bis band.
But if he would look on tbe other side
for a moment, and ask himself wby he
wants that besntifnl girl, graceful, intelli
gent and lovely, be wonld be forced to re
ply ; * I want her to cook, make my beds,
clean my bonse, darn my hose, watch
longingly for my return, pnt up with my
ill-humors, econum ze In every particular
for my benefit, be tbe mother of my chil
dren, and bring them np properly; aod In
return for this I will enpport her, allow
her to bear my name, and when she dies
I’ll give her a Christian burial." Now, if
be looked sqnarely at this side of the ques
tion, be WLUld not be likely to feel that be
was doing snob a very complimentary
thing, nor go about it eo complacently.
And if tba yonng lady saw tbe realistic
side, without tbe gloes and roseate hue of
poetry, she would not consider that she
had been so very highly complimented by
the offer.
Young isdiea who happen to merry late
should bsar in mind that it they get a good
hnsband they have done well by waitiog;
and if they git a bad oaa it Is proof they
did not wait long enough. It they never
marry at all they may console themselves
with the thought that they have escaped a
world of trouble, and that there are alwave
some married women wuo envied their
loL
behavior. If she marries early In life tbe
one who hipped to please her fancy, she
learns lo her sorrow tbit in nine cases oot
of ten a man in society and a man at home
are widely diflerem beings. Five years at
that period of life produce a great change
In opinions and leellcgs. We frequently
come to detest at twenty-five what we ad
mired »t sixteen. We advance from the
taffy candy end peanut age to the era of
emu-drops and niarron glaces, and ertn in
later years lose our yearning* for those
dainties. At sixteen, the Ledger and Mrs
Suuihworth are the delight of a girl's
heart, ar.d she fairly revels la the love af
fairs of the most beautiful of women with
the most heroic ol men, while their hair
breadth escapes thrill her hesit, snd their
sorrows bring tears to her eyes. As the
grows older, UihedevelopjateU.tbstiljIt
Z‘. reamng sradnaiiy loses its ciurm, aud
she limit satisfaction in somsthing more
so.id, till at length htr taste bts changed
entirely, and nieful and instructive works
f irm the staple ot her reading. Of cou le
•he continues to retd novels, oat she pre
fers those of a different and grander clais
than she permed with neb exquisite de
light at sixteen,
biuii'.ar charges take place In tbe moral
and spiritual nature. Why should we feel
the so me toward persons la a ter hie, When
we have learned to dlatlogulih between
tbe fal-e and true, the bad and food, any
more than we should like dime novels after
we have become acquainted with Dickens,
Thackeray and hhakrpctre? How few
comparatively of tbeschoo'g tl friendships
extend into later life. How few of our
companions In society do we love as we'l
alter twenty years have palled. How few
even of onr own blotters and slatari. In
whom we do not lee faults we could wieb
eradicated. Considering this, how il it
possible for one to feel surprise when a
couple who marry in their teens grow to
love etch other lea as Tears roll by?
When both grow alike, whither it be tep
idly or slowly, forward or backward, there
la some hone ot their ever seeing each
ot'-er with the same eye*; bnt when one
progresses and tbe other retrogrades, a
diflerence springs np between them, end In
time one looks down upon the other with a
feeling ot superiority, perhaps uncon-
fessed, but still there; while the other, un
able to perceive tbe real canse of the
trouble, grows at length to dislike wbit
was once loved. And thnaIt happens that
those who loved at sixteen are indifferent
attwenty-tive, and aometimee divorced at
thirty. This trouble would never occur If
very early marriagn were frowned upon;
it du-poaiiioui, tastes atd circumstances
were consulted instead of mere paaaine
fancy, and girls were encouraged to wait
till their minds were more matured and
they saw life with a clear via'.oo. If later
mar ltg«a wen more universal it might
prevent many from marrying at all; bat it
would be to thoee whom Itwere bnt should
never msr-y—for instance, the aleck end
tbriftleae, the agars*, tbe goeelp, the ter
magant or tba scold. Those who have the
elements ot unhappiness within them, and
who cam not to eradicate them, would then
be discovered, for such things, like wetda,
if left lo grow, dlaoovsr themselrea m
time.
one greet canss of early marriagn Is the
pernici'i.s l.abilof calling a girl who re
mains unmarried until twenty-live an
"old maid." This Is done by many well
mran.i.g hut thuvgbtlan persona, who
would i-e sorry lothlnk that any net or ex
pression of theirs bad ever caused ene an
Lour ot mi wry; yet this very droad of be
ing called an "old maid" has d Iren more
women into marrying and lifelong misery
tban any other thing excepting perhapi
poverty. A girl, yonng, tensittve, untxsei,
to the rough ways of use woe id, shrinks
from haring any stigma east opon her.
When she first heart tenelf called an "old
maid" it Is a revelation, and tbe fella un
der it as if It were a blow. She teds a if

A PLATONIC REPUBLIC.
The Settlement of Nihilists In Southern
Oregon and Its History,
Ban Francisco Chronicle.
Among the foothills ol the coast range
in the southern part of Oregon, at a place
called Longdate Station, stands a settle
ment of Rasaian refngees. Although os
tensibly subject to tbe laws of Jackson
county, yst this community of ixllet is lo
reality an imptrium fa imptrio. Itaeema
to be a sort of Platonic republic, where
the greatest freedom possible to an organ
laed society Is allowed.
In 1881 a band of twenty atndenla of the
Odessa and Kharkof universities left Ros
sis In separate detachments, with New
York as the meeting place. Arriving there,
they looked about for some place of settle
ment, and determined on Oregon. Not
having money enough, they egetn lepara-

AMONC THE ORANCES.
A Tourist's Description of the Fruit and
How It Is Prepared.
Troy BudgcL
The orange tree le hardy and lives for
many years. Oae still healthy, some
where in the Orient, is ssid to be over
1,000 years old. Frost does not kill the
tree-only the fruit. Trees commence to
bear mnch more plentifully each year un
til 3,000 or more oraoges are raised ou a
single tree In a single year. When firat
picked the oranges are pnt on racks to re
main there until tbe moisture is dried
from the skin. Etch orange, be'ore being
boxed. Is wrapped in a piece of paper, tbe
wrapper ec leg es an absorbent of mnist-
nre and keeping the moist skin ot tbe
oranges from coming in contact with each
other. Many people who ao to Florida see
oranges on the trees that Unemany of tbe
streets in thelargist plscas, as well a* un
picked trees in grove-*. Hence they infer
that oranges are so cheap es not to be
worth the picking and boxing to ee l.
Tbat'e a mistake. The oranges so seen are
bitter or eonr oranges and not inch as are
•old. They are left for use when wanted
for orangeade orpnneb, ai well as for
ornament to the ground!. Boys don't
•'go for” bitter or sour oranges
hence they are allowed to remain on the
trees. In its original state tbe orange was
probsDly bitter or tour, and tbe delicious
flavor of tbe iweet oreoge came in by cul
tivation. It is a common tight to tee the
ripe orange, tbe green orange and mattes
ol orange flowets all on the tree at the
same time The ripe orange will remain
on the tree for a year or more without
plckine, and many leave a few oranges on
the trees to be pickrd as wsnted. The
orange, by remaining unpicked, becomes
more dry and stringy, ont wbrn the next
year's frnlt begins to be perfected the old
orange fills np egeln with new juices and
becomes nearly as good as tbe new frnlt.
IMPRISONED IN MEXICO.
The Fate of Train stands Whose Trains
Happen to Run Over People.
Eagle Pass Texas BpedaL
As yesterday's train on the Mexican Na
tional road, sonthbonnd, under Conductor
Bethel and Eagineer Eddiag, was about
two miles sonlb of Aara station, a Mexican
trsck walker was seen arleepjou tbe track,
bnt before tbe trsln could be stopped he
was ran over and both legs cut off. The
unfortunate man was taken on board the
train to Mondova, where he was Iq^for
medical attention, and tbe train proceed
on to the end of the trip. On their re
turn this morning, Bethel and Eddlng
were arrested by Mexican authority, and
they, and the railroad agent, Frank Jones,
were 1 ,dged In jail, where they noware,
and the chances ere that they will be there
for tome time, although perfectly blame
less for the death of tbe Mexican. A crew
aod engine bad to be sent ont from Pie-
dr*i Nr gras to bring the train in. This is
tbe third time in the history ot this road
that accidents of this kind have occurred,
but in both of the previous i stances the
engineers. Thorotey and McGrath, cut
tuelr engines loose and made good
their escape to tbe Coiled States, know,
ing fall well what a fares Mexican jus
tice is it caught. The operator of
tbe road, by various aubterfoges, would
avoid sending telegrams ordering their
stoppage and arrest presented by Mexican
officials until the enginters had reached
this aide of the Bio Grande. Both tbe en
gineers can never return to work in Mexl-
oo without being imprisoned farther In tbe
interior, where escape is impossible. There
are several engineers who have been in jail
(or several years for accidents of this na
lure. General Manager Johnson is Inter
esting himself largely In getting these men
retested, and has left lor Mondova ou a
special train.
