V - We are growing very old, Kate? Eg I feel it every day, 3? The hair upon our temples now " Is growing thin and grey. We are not as we were Kate, K And yet our hearts are young. As when we roved the sunny hills, SB # And flowery dales among. Hf xxr- ? :? TTofo IUC alCglUWIllg VIU noiv.! But it is not age of heart, Though speedily the hour comes on, When thou and I must part; When thou and I must part, Kate, As we have ne'er before, Besides our cottage hearth to meet, With words of love no more. But we're growing very old, Kate, ** And the parting won't be long, 'Till we meet within a better home, Amid yon heavenly throng, 'Till we sing the song together, Kate, The angels sing above; Where ne'er the fear of parting takes The blessedness lrom love. THOU WILT NEVER MEET ME MORE. Thou art gone, but I am keeping In my heart thy treasured name; If I'm smiling? if I'm weeping, Thou art with me all the same. Yes, the link at last is riven, ft All our nlensant dreams are o'er. * ?r And, unless we meet in heaven, Thou wilt never meet me more. Once the summer sun lighted On the petals of a rose, And although her leaves he blighted, Still he lingered till life's close. Thus the heart has sometimes cherished Thoughts that wear away the soul. Gives pleasure while we perish 'Neath this strange yet sweet control. Thou art gone, yet love hath bound thee, L Thou may'st struggle to forget, ? In the heartless crowd around thee : u All in vain!?thou'rt captive yet. Ah, forgive the pain I've given, And thine own deep wrong of yore, For unless we meet in heaven, Uiou will never meet me mure. F. oi.i the National Inteltig:,icer. Northern Oregon and I*i?get Sound I propose saying a few words to your readers about that portion of Oregon Territory north of the Columbia river, and particularly of that part of the country bordering on, and in the vicinity of, Puget Sound. Thinking that many of them would be pleased to learn something of this new and comparatively unknown country, I have I;, ventured to attempt its description. I believe rthat there are many persons, even those to whom the thought has never occurred to change their place of residence, who, nevertheless, feel a deep interest in the progress of civilization westward, and in the development of new and more splendid fields for the activity, abode, and enjoyment of their fellow-countrymen. That portion of Oregon Territory bounded on the north by the 49th parallel, on the south by the Columbia river, and on the west by the Pacific ocean, is, in my opinion, the most desirable ? part of the Territory for those who wish to select a home in the "far West," and is destined at no very distant day to form an additional Stnio in the American Union. Although there is a great deal of level land in this part of Oregon, yet it is by no means destitute of mountains and hills. It may be called a ' mountainous country. We have the Cascade Mountains and the Coast Ranee, which are in many places covered with perpetual snow. From these mountains numberless streams, of greater or less volume, supply the land with water.? Perhaps no country is more equably supplied with an abundance of pure, cool, and healthy water. There are several districts of land in this country highly prized by the farmer on account of their productiveness; these are the valleys of the Cowlitzi, the Chehalis, the Snohomus, the Soquamish, and others of less extent. Whitby's Island, in Puget Sound, is about eighty miles long, averaging fifteen miles in width,and, from the excellence of its soil, has justly been styled the "Garden of Oregon." Besides these, on the east side of the Cascades and north of the Columbia, is the Yanamah country, which for for" * 1 '?-1? ie n/\f ont*_ tility of soil and saiuoruy ui umwi. ,, ^ passed by anv other portion of the Territory. ^ The fertility of the soil of tin's part of the coun- 1 ^ii j.. ... ?i.. try is nearly the same as that south of the Co- 1 lumbia, and, in speaking of it and of our agricul- 1 tural products, it is not my intention to enter 1 into a detail of those mammoth vegetables which I i have become so justly celebrated. The fame of i J our large Oregon potatoes, turnips, and wheat I ! crops has been repeated in nearly all the papers i ii? lit. T"ni/^ri Tho cnil is and is not ( I 111 HIV ? ??? 7 ? j surpassed, if equalled, by any portion of the 1 I continent in its adaptation to the growth of I I wheat, rye, oats, grass, potatoes, and other vege- < tables. Potatoes are produced in great abun- 1 dance with little cultivation; they are of a supe- i rior quality, and the potato rot has never yet < appeared in Oregon. Owing to our peculiar cli I mate, wheat matures slowly, and hence the grain < is always full and plump, and the straw unusu- < ally solid and elastic. This is the reason that < wheat in this country is subject to none of those diseases and uncertainties peculiar to it in the < States, and is invariably a certain crop. t Puget iSound may be called an inland sea. It I is about ISO miles long, averaging from five to t i O 5 # ten miles in width, and is connected with the < ocean by the Straits of Juan de Fuca. It affords < the best and safest harbors for vessels to be found I on the Pacific coast, not excepting even the bay 1 of San Franciseo. The water is deep, entirely 1 free from rocks or other submarine impediments, 1 fftfA rtnokA.'nnrnc nrn in Ko fniiml in nlmnsf 1 any part of it. The Straits are about ten miles < wide at their narrowest part, the water very deep, < and vessels can run from the ocean iiuo the 1 Sound in a gale without risk. In this and many 1 other respects the Straits differ frorti the mouth 1 of the Columbia. Vessels destined up that river 1 are frequently obliged to lay out to sea for weeks, i in order to avail themselves of a favorable wind, ^ and even then, with a careful and experienced < pilot on board, the entrance is perilous. When we consider the sand bar at the mouth of that river, the number of vessels that have been there wrecked, and the consequent loss of human life, and when we reflect that the Columbia river is the only avenue by which commerce can pcne- ^ trate the interior of Southern < >regon, or through f which its products can find a foreign market, we 1 are forced to the conclusion that the valley of 1 the Williamctte can never compete with North- ( ern Oregon in a commercial point of view, and that nature has destined Puget Sound to be the ] grand commercial depot of the Northwest Coast. ( The Sound is perhaps the most majestic in- , land sheet of water in the world for navigation ( by steam vessels. In the summer seasons, how- ( ever, it is subject to long calms, when, its waters ( being ruffled only by the most gentle breezes, ] little or nothing can be done by sail vessels. < The limber of this country, of which there is 1 a super-abundance, is composed principally of < the cedar and the fir. The advantages of the i country for furnishing this kind of lumber is un- ( surpassed by any other part of the continent. < The shores of the Round are generally thickly < studded with timber; in some places, however, ] the spots of prairie land in which this country < abounds extend down to the water. The land ( from the Sound towards the mountains is gen- j erally level. An active trade is carried on by a number of vessels in supplying the San r rancis- 1 eo market with hewed timber, spars, and piles. ; The settlements in this part of the country are 1 quite young. There are several small towns ( growing up on the Sound, and Olympia, on ; Bubb's inlet, at the southern end of the Sound, 1 is the largest tow n in Northern Oregon. We ? have but few saw mills as yet on the Sound ; } but there are several others in process of erec- ] tion, and when they get properly into operation, i there is no doubt of an extensive trade in lumber ( with San Francisco, the Sandwich Islands, and < China. Besides our advantages for commerce, agnciil ture, and lumber, I must not forget the fisheries. ; In the Sound almost every kind of valuable fish i may be taken in abundance. Among these (al- 1 though I do not pretend to enumerate all) I might mention the salmon, the codfish, herring, and halibut, besides oysters, clams, crabs, Ac. ; Whales frequently conic into the Straits and are i caught. The Sound affords the most favorable < ports on the Pacific for whaling vessels to obtain t supplies and spend the winter. ; On the 2Cth of March last the schooner "Ex- < act" returned ftom Queen Charlotte's Island, t with a number *of specimens of gold quartz on ; board. At tbe time I write she is lying in our 1 harbor, reports an abundance of tbe precious i metal on the Island. Puget Sound, being the i nearest point in the American territory from j which vessels can fit out for that place, will coin- ; mand an advantage over all other ports on the i Pacific, should mining operations ever be exten- t sivcly prosecuted on that island. t From the preceding statement of facts in relation to the surface of the land, from our north- i ! nm lot it ii/lii fi11?1 (wmitrnriliii??il rw?citii\n nnn waiiLI V.V?V?V. , naturally conclude that ours was a healthy coun- < try. This is eminently the fact. We have none < of that fever and ague, or malaria, which is to he j found in Southern Oregon, and which prevailed ] there to some extent last year. The chief factor ; of the Hudson's Bay Company at Nasqually, I Dr. Tolmio, has lived on the Sound for the last 1 nineteen years, with always a considerable num- | her of men in his employ, and he tells me that i he has never known of a single case of fever and < ague originating in the country. No country of < the same latitude on the continent possesses so i mild a climate. During the past winter, which 1 was an unusually cold one, the thermometer : ranged at about seventeen degrees above zero, t and our prairies were covered with green grass. ' Here the farmer is not compelled to toil during 1 the summer to provide for his stock during win- t tor. Cattle can graze throughout the year, and 1 I have nlucked bououets of wild flowers in the. t months of .January and February. ) One word about the Indians of this country, i There are a taut 5,000 Indians in Northern Ore- 1 gon, about 1,000 of whom are on Puget Sound. ] They are entirely different in character from t those that once inhabited the States. They are 1 not possessed of that proud haughty spirit or t 4 :<J.. J*. . \n ?I . 'i ' . that revengeful disposition which characterizcc the Indians of the States. They imitate ou liabits, wear our clothing, endeavor to speak ou language, and are of great assistance to the pio neer settler. They cut down our trees, hew ou Limber, make shingles, work 011 our farms, and in fact, under the direction of a white man, cat lo almost any kind of work. The abundance o fish and wild fowl afford them so easy a subsis nra noHirnllv indnlfllih <inrl if. i< kuiiLV idicio (civ/ imvuicMij -j .? .. >nly to be able to procure the luxuries of thi ivhites that they are induced to work. As thej seldom, if ever, resort to the chase, they are noi lisposed to regard the rapid appropriation o ;heir "ilikcc" (land) by the "pale faces" as an en noachment upon their hunting grounds; on th< lontrary, they court their emigration, and ar< svery day becoming more dependant. The facility of reaching this country by tin )verland emigrant will be greatly improved bj he opening of a road across the Cascade Moun :ains north of the Columbia. It is proposed b} ;he people of Northern Oregon to open this roac luring the coming summer, so that it may b< ximpleted in time for the present year's emigra ;ion, and preparations are now being made foi that purpose. The importance of this road t< die overland emigrant can be appreciated but bi die few who have actually made the trip. A1 .vho have reached Oregon by the overland route ind have crossed the Cascade Mountains by th< )ld road, know that this portion of the road is nore to be dreaded than any other part of th< oute. The loss of wagons, cattle, horses, <fcc. 3V the last year's emigration, on these moun ains, so near the termination of their journey ind almost within sight of their future homes vas greater than was experienced on the whoh )f the preceding route taken together. * QUINCY A. BROOKS. Glvmpia, Oregon Territory, May 4, 1852. Silver Mines in So ill li America. A correspondent of the Newark Advertiser vliting from the San Antonia Mines, 150 mile.1 Voin Caldera, Febuary 25,1852, gives the fol owing account of the silver mines there, whicl ic \isitcd in company with Don Bernado Cade :edo, the owner of them:? The mines are vastly diffeient from anything [ had conceived. Fur three hours T was led b\ me of the Captains of the miners through hori :ontal shafts, around vast chambers, along win linggalleries, down steep drifts, up crooked stair ;ascs, cut in the rock, backwards, forwards, ti .he right to the left, and in every direction, uuti [ became completely bewildered, and should nev ?r have been able to find my way out again iad I been left to my own guidance.^ Whci n lnn/M olioni 1 utr flinrn Wft ICAD mid had l?cen great wealth in silver. In on jhambcr they told me a million and a quarto ?f dollars of silver ore had been taken out. The; nave mo a sledge and told me to crack oft'. piece to carry home. One of these days I wil tend you the result of my knowledge of the us if a big hammer. The loud reports of blast ing going?n in different parts of the mine were terrific, and the appearance of the miner? Iialf naked, driving away at the solid stone, w? 'i sight. The natives carrying out the ores ant refuse in hide hags on their hack, and up stee] jrooked shafts three hundred feet deep, gives on m idea of labor only to he found in a plac ike this. After spending three hours in tlii jreat mine, which has been worked for twenty two years I came out at the top of the mountaii having gone in at the base. Taking a moment to breathe, we commenced the descent of anotli jr mine, belonging to l)on Dernadon which i ilose to the first, and from which they are no\ netting much rich ore; and when we came ou ive were tired enough I assure you. When w arrived we found the cook and steward ot the os tablishment drunk and in bed. This being Car nival week, most of the natives are eniovimr it. Y?.u can imagine the wealth of this min which is also located ii a narrow steep ra\ ine? about one mile from the river valley, when I tel >*ou there is a village of some size at the mouth af the ravine, occupied by Peons, and the na lives of the country, which has been built uj and entirely supported for years, by the stealings if persons employed in the mine. I suppos hat one-tenth of rich ore is stolen ; there is no1 i native miner in Chili who will not steal if Ik las a chance, and boast of it afterw ards. Whei the mines are rich, the owners employ a fore nan for each miner, to overlook him while min ing, but 1 am told that the foremen are as l>a< is the men; there is no dependence to be placet, in any of them. The owners seldom go nea lie mines, and when they do they rarely go intt hem. Don Dernado has owned the mine for eigh i.xinnnnn V>ni li.is nev fU.ll-, S..V.. .V . - , - }r been into it, except just :i few feet at the low ir entrance, lie owns large shares in mam jther mines at Chanorcello and Tros runtas, oik x? the north and the other to the south of thii place, both of which 1 have promised him to g( nid see. He wishes me to become an owner ir die mines and oilers to give me shares in hi; nines if I will only stay in the country; but tell him I cannot stay, and have no fancy fo mining, lie gives me a fine specimen of silvci >rc every time I see him. Ilis family live ii jreat style in Lima, and his possessions arc'iin nense. Ik-sides his Peruvian mines and estates io has also two large handsome houses, in Copi ijio, one large silver ore mill in Copi.npo, twoes ates in tlie valiey above Copiaj)0, on cacli o which there are extensive silver ore mills, ant iow many mines he owns in this region I cannol -ell; every (lav I hear of ft new mine which h< ins an interest in. lie is a tall, handsome, gen lemanly person, with an unmistakable air of re moment about him, and is strongly impresses with the idea that no one but himself know; iow to make coffee or chocolate, or to boil eggs 10 certainly makes the best I ever drank. Souk ,iino since lie sent me a bag of the celebrated [Jnga coffee, grown in the interior of Peru; In .ells me he will get another sack of better coffee p"<r 1 and also a box of the best chocolate for inc, to r send home in his name. He is the kindest-heartr ed and most generously-disposed man lever met - with; but he will gamble and attend cock-fights, r which seems to be the universal custom of the , country. 1 In some of the mines they are cutting out f pure silver, from veins six, eight and ton inches - thick. At Chanocello there are about three s hundred mines in one mountain, which at a dis 3 tance, is said to resemble a huge Ant lull; there f are more than three thousand men burrowing on t it all the time, night and day. There is no waf ter within fifteen miles, and it costs six hundred - dollars a day to supply the miners with water, ; and every thing else in proportion; ard yet the 3 miners tell me when the mines are rich they laugh at all expense. 3 We "have a long ride to take by moonlight to r the place we came from this morning forty miles - distant; at this place we are about 5,000 feet above the sea, and the air is very light and ener1 vating. People in this country eat fruit all day 3 besides devouring a multitude of meats. Early - each morning we take coffee or chocolate; at 10 r A. M. we have breakfast commencing with soup, ) which is called Casonella; the rest like our dinr nors, except dessert. At 1 P. M. we sat down 1 to a lunch of fruit, embracing all the kinds you , have at home, in the greatest abundance, and very fine, besides all the different kinds of the torrid zone, by every steamer. You would be astonished to see the white grape, which grow in large and solid bunches; one kind of purple grape, grows as large as a green-gage, or Bantam's egg. I have seen bunches so large that no two famished gormands could eat one. The price of all fruit is high; the ground they grow in is all irrigated. It is good to have friends with large gardens. Yours, &c. W. E. The Bay of Fimdy. , This bay, which at the present moment is cau 3 sing so much excitement in the public mind, is - an immense arm of the sea, extending in a nortlii e.ist direction, two hundred miles, the main - branch of which penetrates to within ten or twelve miles of the Straits of Northumberland, and sep; arating Nova Scotia from New Brunswick. An : eastern branch enters the Basin of Minns, and - connects with the Shubenacide river, which has its - ri>e in a lake of that name, situated about fifteen - miles from Halifax, and at both of these termini ) the tide rises between sixty and seventy feet. 1 At the mouth of the Bay of Fundy, it is be* - tween forty and fifty miles wide, its southwest , boundary being formed by, Passamquoddy bay, i into which the Schodic river empties, decided by i the Commissioners to be the St. Croix, meant by e the treaty of 1783; at the mouth of which are the r islands of Grand Manaan, held by the British; v also that of Cam.po Bcllo, opposite Eastport, an a island about five miles in length, belonging to the !l United States, but which was occupied by the e British during the last war. On tli#> eastern siile of the enfrnnne of the "Rnv s of Fundy, is a minor arm of the sea, running S parallel with it, which is called St. Mary's Bay, ? and which extends to within a mile or two of I Annapolis Basin, which connects with the former P by what is called Digby Gut, evidently formed c by some conuilsion of nature, by which a pase sage was effected, opposite which, at the distance 3 of twelve leagues, is the harbor of St. John, situated at the mouth of the river St. John, the II upper portion of which, since the Ashburton 3 treaty, forms for a considerable distance the * boundary of the United States. Brier Island 3 near which an American vessel was recently dev tained, is at the entrance of St. Mary's bay. 1 i >n the south side of the Bay of Fundy is a c continuous range of mountains, of considerable elevation, extending to Cape 1 tlomidon, where, in the spring of the year particularly, abundance of the finest amethysts, agate, and other minerals, c are to be piocurcd at low tide, which are. detach* cd from the cliff by the rains and thawing of spring. 1 About twenty miles beyond this cape, the wa tcrs of the hay of Fundy enter the Ft. Croix and ? Avon rivers, the tide washing in with such rs5 ]>idity as to be termed a 'boar,' sweejiing before s it everything iu its way. The same may be said of the Memromcook and Pettieodial, on the op" posite side of the main branch, overturning any 1 unfortunate vessel that may have taken the ground in such a manner as to present her broadly side to the advancing and towering wave. The . north shore of the hay of Fundy is equally pre cipitous with the other; and in all the estuaries 1 alluded to, there arc immense mud banks, for} mcd by the sediment which the retiring tide has deposited, and extending upwards of half a mile from each shore. Where the tide rises to so great a height as . has been stated, it necessarily runs with much e velocity; consequently the permission granted to R American fishermen, to follow their occupation , beyoiul three miles from the shore, is almost cnj tirely nugatory, as il is impossible to anchor any. where near the center of the hay, with any Preble ability of the anchor holding, and the fish feed-1 ing in tlio vicinity of the shore, and more cspc. cinlly in tlie bays and inlets, in which bait is usually to be obtained. Besides the cod fishery, which might be carried on in the Bay of Fundy, for a distance of ' forty or fifty miles from its entrance, to much ad- j vantage, were the inhabitants of the province loss f inert, there is the gaspcrenn, the catch of which ! 1 in the harbor of St. John alone, sometimes ^ amounts to 20,000 barrels during the season? 2 the herring, which is to be caught every month j ^ in the year, and the shad, which there exceeds in flavor and weight those met with on ativ i.art ! o .<1 i of the American cost, from Cape Fear to the , Mirimichi river, on the northeastern coast of New . l>r litis wick. I It may not he uninteresting to mention, that i the herring and shad make their appearance in , Albmarle Sound, on the coast of NorthjCarolina, about the middle of February, and are caught iXk' and cured in great numbers there?the usual catch at Plymouth and other places in its vicinity, amounting to 100,00'.) barrels annually?the former being worth on an average four, and the latter six and seven dollars per barrel. The main body of shad which here make their appearance early in the spring, pursue their course, directed by an unerring and wonderful instinct, along the American coast, until they reach the Bay ofFuudy, about the middle of May. Those which first arrive ascend the river St. John for the purpose of so?wrung; and having ui'jJWiicu men U>H, jjruueeu lip llie UilV, entering the Petticodial and Memremcook in vast numbers, and also the eastern branch towards the Shubenacadio, where they reach the highest state of perfection, feeding on the shadworm and shrimp, which are found there in great abundance: and large quantities of this delicious article of food are annually purchased for the supply of the American market. The Pay of Fundy is destitute of good harbors; for with the exception of Annapolis basin, which is entered by a narrow channel, through which the vessel is swept by the current against an' adverse wind, there are none of the southern side till the Cornwallis and Ilorton rivers are reached, a short distance beyond Cape Blomidon, while on the north side, with the exception of the harbor, of St. John and that of Quaco, where there is a dangerous lpdo-e. p-vtpndinrr a lnnnr rtia. - - ? c> " 'v"l5 tance into the Bay, there is scarcely any shelter, should a vessel he overtaken by a storm that would compel her to seek it. Indeed, considering the intense fogs that prevail during the summer months, the strong and uncertain currents, and the violent gales during spring and autumn it is a subject of astonishment that vessels are not more frequently wrecked in that dangerous bay. Hints Worth Taking..?1. I Never attempt to do anything that is not right Just so sure as you do, you will get into trouble. Sin always brings sorrow sooner or later. If you even suspect that any thing is wicked do it not until you are sure your suspicions are groundless. 2. When you do attempt anything that is right, go through with it. Be not easily discouraged from habits of perseverance. Yield not to sloth, and sleep, or fickleness. To resist all these will not be easy; but you will feel that you have done right when you get through. 3. Do not waste your money. Perhaps you have very little. Then take the more care of it. And besides helninor to snrearl the f}r.?.nel hnv I D 1 j-~-j some good books and read them well. A good book is one of the best things in the world. If you can not buy as many as you need, borrow from others, and return them safe and sound.? Never let a book lie where it may be injured. 4. Ask questions about things you do not understand. Ask those who know; but ask modestly and seriously, and listen to the answer and think well of it. A man who knows nothing can give you no light on the subject; but almost every one can tell you something that you do not know. Dr. Franklin said he had often gained important information from a blacksmith shoeing his horse. Live and learn. Beware of bad books and papers. There are many; they are of no use, but do harm. Ask some one who is able to tell you of some of the best books. Never buy a book because it is cheap; some books are dear if they do not cost anything if you read them they waste your time and may destroy your soul. 6. If you have not time to read in the day, read by night, and if lamps and candles are scarce, get pine knots or hickory bark and read by torch light. Let nothing hinder you from rending. A good book will bear reading more than once. The second reading will do more good than the first. 7. Keep out of bad company. 'The companion of fools shall be destroyed." If others waste their time in folly and sin, avoid them. They may be smart, but they will do you no good and they may do you harm. Bad company is the ruin of many, even of those who are older than you.? Keep away from idlers, and Sabbath breakers.? Even "one sinner destroyeth much good." Keep away?"touch not the unclean things." Goon Nature.?Good nature is a gem which shines brightly wherever it is found. It cheers the darkness of misfortune, and warms the heart that is callous and cold. In social life who has not seen and felt its influence ? Don't let matters ruffle you. Nobody gains anything by being cross and crabbed. If a friend has injured you; if the world goes hard; if you want employment and can't got it; or can't get your honest dues; or nre nas consumed, or water swallowed up the fruits of many years' hard toil; or your faults magnified, or enemies have traduced, or friends deceived, never mind; don't get mad with anybody ; dont abuse the world or any of its creatures ; keep good matured and our word for it, all things will come right. The soft south wind and the genial sun are not more effectual in clothing the earth with verdure and sweet flowers of spring, than is good nature in adorning the heart of men and women with blossoms of kindness, happiness anp affection?those flowers the fragrance of which ascend to Heaven. ' The Women.?Ilere is a 'Tribute to Woman,'' from a note to an Editor, the justice of which few will dispute: "There is something about woman that is curious, isn't there ? This morning i swept the senoomouse. i uiougtit it was nicely done?felt ^>roud. ; Presently some girls came in, and one, true to the iustinctive , . sense of neatness characteristic of her sex, took tlie broom. She swept after.me, and good gracious ! what a change! Itc coins as if?well, I can't toll-?but when she was done, I had a very poor opinion of my house keeping powers, I as- _ sure you. The stove hearth, the wood by tho ^ stove?all everything?put on that look which ^ H umy wuiiinu can give. xuu m ci eauuu is n, that makes them give such an air to tilings?"
