The MilUmr world. Jim and I went to the donation, and of pours took the whole families. e sent over (wo barrels ot tlour; Jim, for himself, sent a pice, big ham; his wife bought a lot of stutl for children's dresses; Maria (that's my wife) bought the parson's w ife black dress pattern, Wd wheedled me into giving our tailor an or der to make the parson au overcoat. Before telling you about the donation party J believe 1 must describe this parson and his family, as they w ere the most singular people I ever met. For myself, I don't take very much interest in religious matters, but I do like to see a man live up to his professions. Well, this little preacher, for he w as a ver little man, was one of the moat conscientious rnen 1 ever saw. His charge supplied him with a house to live in, a salary ot four hun dred dollars per annum, and one donation party. It neavcii is so desirable a place to get to, those who ate ou the way evidently be lieve it nece:Bar to economize in the cost of a cuide, ell, this little preacher, while thor oughly de oted to the cause in which he was engaged, waB aUo extremely attached to his family, and fairly idolized his wife. She was very illy ntted tor a preacher's wife, being originally ery proud, and quits given to dreas, and to now be deprived of the means to gratify her desires was very tring, and she had taken to quiet tits of repining and w eep ing, uutil her ev es aud the tip of her nose had acquired a degree of redness not pleasant to look upon. Her husband used to say that she was a very pretty girl w hen be married her, and was continually upbraiding himself for baring persuaded her to leave her pleasant home anu cast her lot with his. A little oc currence that took place one day in my hear ing will show his devotion to her. I had taken Orer to Cooperville a small load of flour, and driving by the preacher's house he came out and aaked me to leave t. barrel for nun. So 1 took it into the house, and while waiting for him to find a hatchet with which to looeen the head, sat down in the kitchen by the fire. His wife, he told me, was not feeling well and had laid down. Unable to find the hatchet, he went into her room to make inquiry as to itt whereabouts, leawut; the door slightly ajar, when 1 overheard the following conver.atiou: "Oh, George, I feel so bad 1" "Do jou still sutler pain, dear!" "Oh, terrible pain !" "I think, my dear, if you would do as I auggested, j ou aould boon be relieved of our pain." "What, take castor oil, George." "Yes, Carrie, I feel quite sure it would very quickly relieve you, and I do wish you would try it." "But it's so naBty." "You'll only taste it a moment, dear." "But I can't take it, George, it's too nasty." ''Ob, yes, you can, dear. Shall I pour you put a spoonful ?" "Will you take some if I do, George?" "What question, dear. I have no need to take it, but I should do so at once if I were V 'lnal i necauae you re a man. a uiau can 4o anytfimg." "Then you won't take it, Carrie?" "Not unlets yen will, too." ''Well, then, although I can't understand why you want me to take some, too, 111 do ii J" "And first, George. You must take it first." "Anything to satisfy you, dear, and make jren well again." A momentary silence, and ihent "Now, Carrie, it' your turn; are yeu "Did you take some, George!" "Tea, dear; and now you must." "Did it taste bad, George ?" "Well, it's not very pleasant, but tho taste don't hut long. And now, dear, you take yours, for I must go and find the hatchet." "Oh, George, 1 couldn't take it at all; it's jtoo pasty," and she didn't. X only mention this as showing the man's devotion to his wife. Talk of braving death for s woman; that's easily compared to taking pastor oil for her, But I must qet on to the donation party. We sent Oils on nhc.il with the stuff, and then we nil got into .lim't nld carry all. and about live ocli'clc, started over. The roads wctc very rough, and wo didn't srnvo at tho parsonage until about eight o'clock, and after getting the flour and linin into the kitchen, the dress stulls wir. taken in hand, pwrl from one to another of tho women, commented upon, felt of, ami co-t speculate d upon Our wives (tint m, I'ims and mint niter savui! good evening all around, betook themselves to the kitchen tn see what prepirationt were making for supper, the joiuik' folks were shoved otl lip-stairs, and we old married fnlU occupied the parlor and sittim; room. Old Cooper was there, and was apparently well pleased with the turn out. He camo at once up to us, and expressed himself as being glad that w e came o er. "A good gatherin' to-night," said he. "So I should judge," answered Jin, "the preacher will nuke out very well, won't he?" "Mostly potatoes, I'm afeard," replied old Cooper. "I can't for the life of me sco why ever) body should fetch potatoes and pies. Tho pies is all riht, for 1 kinder think they will be eat all up to-night, but I'll mias my guess if there aiu't nigh on to twenty bushels of potatoes fetched here." "What are you getting for potatoes now!" asked I. "Well, their fetchin' forty cents. Tain't enough, but that's all ye can get." "So the people have brought in possibly eight dollars' worth of potato. That's pret ty generous; ain't it!" said Jim. "It's a good many potatoes," said old Coop er, "and there's a Kreat deal of other stuff." Leaving Jim and old Cooper together. I went o er to the preacher, and, getting him alone, gave him the order for the overcoat. "You and our partner," said he, "have been very kind to me and mine, and I don't know how to thank you as I should. It is aot plea-ant for i.ie to accept chtrity, for though a donation party is 'nominated in the bond,' as it were, still it has, and always will have, to me, a repugnant presence. 1 don't suppose the feeling is right, but when the people leave to-night they will take wi.h them nearly all they have brought, and the knowledge of this fact renders the douation supportable. I do sot say this with any reference to the gifts you and your partner have been so liberal with, and do not wish you to so understand. These I accept in the spirit in which has prompted their bestowal, and thauk you and hm mostly cordially for them." "But," said I, "isn't a donation looked on a one of your perquisites?" "Yes," replied he, "but that makes it no more pleaaut. I can speak a little more plainly to ou than I could to one of the inrmbera; and )OU will, I believe, understand me as not complaining. We have here to night one hundred aud twenty-three p.-ople. Now , how muchdoou suppose the total value of their donations will aggregate?" "Well, I don't know, as I would ever hive thought of it in that way." "That's just it'" replied he; "no one thinks of it in that way. One member brings say a bushel of potatoes ; another peihaps a cake or two, a pie, a roll of nice butter, or perhaps a dozen nice fresh eggs. If each one here to night had done that, I don't know where I should have put all their gifts, but in most cases the gifts are far less than this, and for each gift, there are here to-night on an aver age five persons. I only tell you this to show vou that when supper isjver there will prob ably be no more in the house th in before; yet my people will go home feeling that they have been very liberal with me." "Well, this certainly is puttinc it in a way I should never thought of. At the same time I can very readily understand it to be as you say. As you know, 1 am not a church mem ber, and sometimes I think I should be ashamed to be found in such company, and Jim thinks so, too," replied I. "There, air, you do me, and my people, and our professions wreat injustice. It's" JuBt at that moment a crash overhead was heard, and somebody upstairs cried "fire!" Jim, and i, and the parson, ruahed up the stairs (some one of the brethren told me after wards that old Cooper began a frantic search for his hat) and found the young folks had been playing a game of forfeits, and that 'Kiah Sirnpkina in a struggle to secure from 'Liza Putney a kisi, hal caught one of his small feet on the lc-g of a little stand upon which, for convenience, the lamp had been placed, overturning it, breaking the lamp and spilling the oil, which, of course, ignited upon the floor. It touk but a few moments to ex tinguish the flames; and then old Cooper sug gested that "we all on our bended knees re turned thanks to the Almighty Father for his merciful kindness in savin' us from the de vourin' element." Jim intimated "it would be better for the young folks to chip in and buy the parson a new carpet." Old Cooper's suggestion was carried Jim's wasn't. Shortly after, supper was announced and the older folka were provided with seats at the table in the kitchen and dining room, while the young folk took their in the par lor, sandwiches, cakes, tea and coffee being passed around to them. I don't know how much they ate in the parlor, hut there was no injustice done the viand at the table where I aat. We had a very sociable tune, and every body seemed pleased with hi share in the en tertainment. Old Cooper was particularly witty. "1 aay, Bill," asked he, "is yer conscience a troublin' of yer?" "Not at all," answered I. "Why do you ask?" "Oh, I didn't know, but ye were tryin' to git rid o' some of yer ill-gotten wealth, yer so liberal like." "I don't understand what you mean." "Well, ye see ye've been gougin' u poor farmer in tho matter of toll for ome time back; and I didn't know, but yer conscience might liev emit ye at times about it, and that in a fit of remorse ye had made up yer mind WILLAMETTE FARMER: PORTLAND, OREGON, MARCH to pay hack by gtvin' our dominie hero a good send otl to night. Kinder make up for what the rest on us hasn't given, yo know," and with that the old fellow went off into a regu lar tit of horse laughter, in which we all joined. . An nijonirirtg screim from tho parlor caused a rush for that locality; and wo found the cauan of the commotion, an attempt by youim Mr. 'Kiah Simpkiii to scare the life out of young Mis Lira l'lituc), iiy dropping a cold currant, picked fnmi his piece of cake, down he-r back. Miss I'ntney was favoring the com pany with a simp, standing in front of the pia no ( rclio of past grandeur) and to lie more at case had placed her cup of coffee upon the ctlgo thereof. She, feeling, a she supposed, a nasty hug making it way down her back, cave one yell, and raised her arm convulsive ly to the Vack of her neck. In her efforts to capture the bug, she became oblivious of the cup of coffee standing before her, aud as her hands went up they camo in contact with it, overturning it and ita contents into the piano It took some Utile tune to restore quiet, (the damage was apparently not thought of,) but the harmony of tho party was broken, and pretty soon indications of goiug home were visible. Old Cooper, noticing this, requested silence while he made a few remarks, something after this stvle: "Brethren and sisters, for 1 feel I may call ye so. although w e don't all on us belong to one fold (and aomo on us I fear don't belong to no fold at all,) we hev met here to night to testify in some slight measure, the feci Hi's in which we all hold our beloveel pas ture. Although we are none ou u blessed with too much worldly goods, we have all on us given as our means would seem to justify, (I know 1 hev.) We have all ou us given free ly and willm'ly as seemed to us right (I know I hev,) aud although it may uot place our be loved pasture beyond the necessity of future labor, he will, I am sure, accept it aa show in' that the seed he has dropped has uot fallen h) the wayside nor ou stuuuy ground. I feel certain )e will all liear me out when I say Ins labors among us has been appreciated at their true worth, aud that, if at times, he becomes cast dowu.or weary lu the heat of the day, he may know that while his reward here may seem snia'l, we will all devoutly prav that we may meet him in that better laud, where the wicked cea-e from troublin' and the weary may find rest." 1 don't kuow whether old Cooper expected a round of applause; if he did he was disap pointed. Something occurred, however, which was "not down in the bill, "and which created a greater sensation than the old man's ad dress. Our man (5us had Ikjcii a silent and seemingly satisfied spectator of the proceed iniis, but as old Cooper got through, he rose up and said "My friend', I don't go to no shurch, uml I don't know how it vould be if I dit, but I vas invited to come over to (lis barty, und I haf had a very grot tunc. It vas very goot fun to burn up de breacher's garpct, und more fun to v ill up his luano up nut gollee. Souiepoty says it was petter if you bay de fiddler don't it; und if you Mcse, every ono heie had pettr bay me so much as feefty j nts to make de breachcr feci goot on our fun. Dot's phness." "What does this mean ?" asked old Cooper. "Isn't this your hired man, ltdl" "I disiharge mincself," said Gus, before I had time to repl), "I hafe got another shob, dot maype bays me better os dot. Come my young fnent," tapping )oung Mr. 'Kiah Simp kins on the arm, "it vos petter dot you pay right away zo I can go on nut de gollection." "I haven't any change," said 'Kiah. "Dot makes rne no difference cud. I gan shange somedings vor you." 'Kiah reluctantly handed Gus a dollar, which he took, and then going up to 'Liza Putney, said: "Und now, my leedle voman, you vas all de droubles die efending und you gifs mo, of gourse, a hale a dollar? Vot ' you don't hev no mone)" Dot vas pad, so I hafe to take de shange of my oune fn'cnt here," pointing to 'Kiah, "he vos a fery nice young man ind wouldn't let der lady bay for noding. My young fnent, you gan go home." Hy this time a good many wire laughing, and no trouble was had in petting the half dollar from each one present, until it came to old Cooper. He held back and declared, "Bill, ye ought to be ashamed to allow sech goin's on by yer hired ii.an. It's an outrage.' "Dot's zo," said (Jus. "It vos an outrage to gome here, und eat up efcryding vot dis leedle breachcr has cot in de how us, und den go home und ay your hraycrs und egspect to git it to dot blacc you gall lien en it's no uee dalkin' 'bout it any longei, Mr. Cooper, you must bay dot feefty zents shust like us oder fellers You gan make it up ven Nick Koperts dies." Old Cooper paid. He didn't care to carry on the conversation. Gui collected sixty three dollars in all which he dumped into the parson's hat with the remark; "Dot' burty pully; und now, Mr. Bill, I hirts myself out fcain to you." We (hove home.

Killing the sky and e.uth below, Over the hotlictopi, over tho aim!, Over tho heads of tho people ytm meet; Dancing -Flirting Skimming along, Beautiful snow ! it can do no vv mug; Hying to kiss a fair lady's cheek, Clinging to lip in frolicsome freak; Beautiful snow fiom heaven nbovc, I'liio as an angel, gentle n love 1 Oh I the snow, tho beautiful snow, How the Hikes gather and laugh i'S they go, Whirling about in maddiiiiiig tun; Chasing -1 .aiwhing Hurrying by. It lights on the face, nnd it spaikles the eye; And the dogs with a bark and a bound Snap at the crystals as they eddy around. The town is alivo mid its hetrt in aglow, To welcome tho coining of beautiful snow. How wild the crowd goes swaying along, Hailing each other with humor and song; How tno gay sleighs like meteors flash by, Bright for the moment, then lost to the eye; Kinging Swinging -Dashing they go Over tho crust of the Wautiful snow'-; Snow as pure when it falls from theaky, To ho trampled and tracked by thousands of feet, Till it blends with tho tilth in the horrible street. Once I was as pure s tho snow, but I fell, Fell like the snow-flakes from heaven to hell; Fell to be trampled as tilth on the street, Fell to be seofleil, to bo spit on. and lieat; Pleading Cursing Dreading to die, Selling my soul to whoever would buy; Dealing in shame for a tnoisel of bread, Hating the living and fearing the dead, Merciful God. have I fallen so low ? Aud yet I was once like the beautiful snow. Hon- strange it ihould bo that this beautiful snow Should fall ou a sinner with nowhere to go! How strange it should Ihj when night comes again, If the snow and the ice struck my desperate brain, Fainting Kreexing Dying alone, Too wicked for prayer, too weak for a moan To 1k heard in the streets of the crazy town, Gone mad in the joy of snow coming down; To be anil to die in my terrible woe, With a bed and n shroud of the beautiful snow. Helpless and foul as the trampled snow, Sinner, despair not ! Christ stoopeth low To rescue the soul that is lost in sin, And to raise it to life enjoyment again. Groaning Bleeding Dying lor thee, The Ciucilied hung on the cursed tree I His accents of mercy fell soft on thine r, "Is there mercy for me Will He hear my weak prayer?" O God 1 in the stream that for sinners did flow, Wash me, uml I shall lie whiter than snow. The Latest by Join Billings I had never known a sckond wife but what waz hots of the situashun. After a man gets to be thirty -eight years old he kan't form any new habits much; the best he kan do is to steer his old ones. Anuy man who can swap horses or cateh fish, and not lie about it, u. az piuz ur men ever get ill this world. The sasyest man I ever met if a hen-pecked husband when he is away Irom home. All enthusiast is an individual who believes about four tunes as much as aubody else be lieves. The dog that will follow anybody ain't rorth a cuss. Thoze people who are trying to get to heaven on their kreed will find out at last that they didn't have u thru ticket. To long courtships are uot always judiciou The partys often tire out skoring before the trot begins. One quart ov cheep whisky (the cheeper the better), judiciously applied, will do more bus iness for the devil than the smartest deacon he has got. I don't rekolect doing enny thing that I was just a little ashamed ov but somcliody remembered it, aud was sure ouce iu a wlulu to put me in mind ov it. Young men, learn to wait, if you undertake to sett a hen before she iz r ndy y ou will lose your time, and confuse the hen besides. Nature telilom makes a phnol; she simply furnishes the raw materials and let the fel low finish the job to suit himself. CHRISTY & WISE, Agents for Wool Growers.
