Corbnllis (Svelte. CORVALLIS, OR., MARCH 29,' 1889. PEN0IL1NGS. A "crazy" sociable -was given in a certain ball in Orvallis last Saturday night was not there, I am crazy enough without going to such a sociable to get more of it. 1 had an occasion to happen along in front f the hall after the persons present began to wend their ways homeward, and as one after another came out. I noticed that this social had been properly named, not allud' ing to the people, (for no more intelligent etass of beings ever trod the earth), but to the idea that came to mv mind like the following: There were some W. R, C.'s, Some O. A. K 's, and O. N. G.'s. Some Y. W. C. T. U.'g, and A. F. & A. Ms, And a number of I O. Q. T.'s; the I. O. O. F.'s. and A. O. U. W.'g, Some A. L. S.'s, and K. of P.'b; - (And alarg-e number of W. C. T. U.'s.) This sociable question calls to my memory that one day last week I was told that the ladies of a church in this city were going to giro a chicken-pie social. That strikes me just right and also below .the belt. If there is anything in Oregon that I really "love" it is chicken-pie; I never consider it a foul play to eat half of one, but I do hate to do the carving act For instance, to plunge a carving knife into crust and sud denly strike a drum-stick, or a wish-bone, or something else, causes emotions to come over one that he has never felt before. I ' am not very chicken-hearted, bnt I would always rather be excused, from performing this duty. - There are some people in this werld. who never notice that there is anything very in. telligent about the prattle of little folks. Well, sometimes there isn't, but too often do the small folks utter expressions which would be a credit to any adult brain. Not long ago I was visiting at the home of one of my friends, whose fireside is blessed with some children. One of the number, aged alwut seven years, was sitting on her mother's lap, and being questioned as to her relations. After being asked how many Bisters and brothers she had the mother said: ' ... "How many papas have you!" - "Two, mamma!" replied the child. " '0h, no!" said the mother. . "Ain't there papa and grand-papa; and, oh yes, I have three) Jesus is the other one," was her answer. : , It was hard for me to suppress a laugh on hearing this, yet I felt that the last words were only too true, and that there were few individuals in this land who had ever thought that way before. It showed the manner in which the child was being trained tip in life. - Lately I overhead a conversation by , two gentlemen who were talking of renting some rooms. One said to the other that he knew of a very desirable "sweet" of rooms that could be secured. ; ; I was completely dumb founded at this remark, and wond ered why they were so called ' sweet' I : hunted ' np the word in Webster's unabridged . and found, that it was the French way of pro - linnrtrtinfy "aiiiKk " Vnur talrinjv frVi In t.liinv iuto consideration. I think it would be proper to call the Corvallia candy factory a "sweet" of rooms, and instead of call ing a girl's fellow her "suitor" why not say he is her "sweeter?" It , might make her feel sour, "though. ; I was one that comprised the audience to listen to Prof. M. V. Rork's lecture on the "Law of Life," on Tuesday evening last. I know, that there were ; a number in ' the ball who did not "reliih" the plain out spoken words of the lecturer, yet they can not deny bnt that they are true; his refer ence to the piece about the California legis lature can be applied to the late Oregon ses sion of that body we have plenty of "boss Buckleys" right here in this great state and count-, they exhibit themselves at every primary every convention, and every elec tion, and everything else. As to "plainness' of the way the Prof, spoke I, for one, like to hear it, it does me good; it is a relief from 1 he flowery words generally used . by lecturers that are heavenly to hear and re quire you to hunt up an unabridged in order to understand in what way the words have been applied. It may make some of the fair ones', cheeks turn crimson. and the male sex to grin and bring up bad thoughts, but then it always hits the nail in the prop er place. As a temperance lecturer Mr. Rork is above the average, - be didn't send you crazy with a lot of untruthful statistics, clear up into the millions, he . doesn't let the axe drop half way and then check it, he brings it clear down. If a saloon keeper sends your child to the penitentiary don't think that he must suffer for it; you are the one who helps this keeper to do such a thing, because you fail to do yonr duty in pot seeing that what laws you have are rigidly enforced. ' -" Eight here in Corvallis there are numerous instances every day of violation of the city laws,.- in other re spects besides the saloons, and yet they go by unnoticed simply because no complaint is entered against . such. - How then can things be otherwise?; You must" begin at home in, this matter of temperance, I think. Make yonr homes more attractive there's where the secret lies. Too many of you imagine that all are . alike. Because yon . have no desire for card-playing is thai any reason why every member of yonr house should look upon caids as worse than the devil itself? .Ditto- any other .legitimate amusement ' Yon scoff at the sight of yonr daughter walking the street in company of a bar-tender, or a professional gambler, bat Children Cry for by not allowing an occasional indulgence of the harmless arausemcat -called dancing in your own house that daughter is attrac ted to the public ball where she comes in contact with the very fellows" whomj you consider not.respeotable enough to be ! with her in a pleasure walk. Were yon to en courage such - pleasures as card-playing, dancing, and other inuocent games more round yonr own firesides little would be the desire for going to these public places for such amusement: and these slums of society seeing they could not be permitted to enter in and participate ' in such would gradually grow lew aud "far between. " could go on with a long lingo like the above but then it is only a waste' of time- and pencil shoving, I suppose. '. 1 - -. f ' : Look here! Salem, Albany, Eugene, ; Cor vallis and Portland.
