DUNIWAY, author of "juDrra reid," "eixen dowd," "AMIB AND IIENRY J.EE," "THE HAPPY HOME," ETC, ETC, ETC Entered, according to Act of Congress, In the year 1853, by Mrs. A. J. Dnnlway, In the office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington City. Written In 1856 and first published by S. J. Mr- Cormick in book form In 1859. Intro (I action. Very nearly twenty years ago the author of the following story, having always lived upon a farm, and being wholly Ignorant of all prac tical knowledge of the literary world, her asso ciations confined to the illiterate and strug gling pioneers of the land of her adoption, con- celved tbe idea of entering in some way the world's arena of letters. Being possessed of fertile Imagination, Imperfect education, affec tionate nature, feeble strength, and romantic disposition, and having encountered many strange experiences "which made her tired and old before her time," Mrs. Dunlway compiled her crude ideas In the form of a novel, many, and Indeed all the lmportantincldents thereof, being founded upon facts, so grouped as to form a connected story. She has been Induced to re-publlsh the work In these columns, partly because of a desire to revise and correct the original work of both herself and the publisher. and partly because so often urged to do so by subscribers, that she feels under obligation to accede to theirdemands. Dedication. To the Ploneers-of Oregon, and to all friends of the great Northwest who desire to awaken an Interest In our State and Washington Terri tory in the minds ol tbe thousands of dwellers in the frigid climate of Eastern winters and the torrid temperature of Eastern summers, this revised relic of the reminiscences of her youth is respectfully dedicated, by The Author. CHAPTER XIX "Oh, Herbert ! guess my surprise !" and Effle held up a letter to her brother's-view, a few days after their return to Oregon City. "A letter with a Valley Brook post mark ? Let me see it." "Yes. A letter from Mrs. Stanton with compliments to you, and an apology for neglecting us so long. They are coming to tbe exhibition in June." "Read the letter, wont you, sis?" see If I cant be dull too.

"Long years have passed since I was last per mitted to behold your sunny face. Each of us have had trials, but each has received count less blessings from Him who watches over us all. "In the autumn of 1S32, we settled here upon a section of land, and began with but little of this world's possessions, besides our willing hands, healthy bodies, and a square mile of real estate. "We now have a good farm, well improved, are surrounded by many of the luxuries of life, and are what our neighbors call rich. In five years, I have made with my own bands more than two. thousand pounds of butter for mar ket, besides doing all my other work washing, ironing, sewing, mending and cooking most of the time ln summer for a'half-dozeD men, and being sole nurse of my two children, who are models ot beauty and good health, (I would add 'goodness,' but you might think me Inca pable of Judging, as I am a partial witness). 1 wonder what my Eastern friends will think when they get my letters, for I assure you that I have boasted a good deal ln my late messages to them of what I have performed as a farm er's wife. "Jly father-in-law. Dr. Stanton, arrived on the last steamer. He Is a dignified, aristocratic old gentleman, has but little to say to me, but Is agreeable with the children, who are very fond of him. Now that we do not need his help, he has come to us and given all his pos sessions Into our hands. Maurice would not keep them for himself, but bequeathed all to Flora and Henry, except five thousand dollars, with which he headed a subscription for erecting a church and 'seminary at "Valley Brook. He says if we were still poor, the doc tor would not deign to help ns, and when we don't need his services", we won't accept them. The doctor Is a profound scholar, and though we differ ln many theories, I can learn much from his conversation when he is ln a commu nicative mood. He has consented to aid me ln the magazine enterprise, and with his help and Maurice's, I hope to succeed in what I am de signing soon to undertake. "Mrs."W"eldenllves near ValteyBrook, about a mile Irom here. You ought to see how happy she Is with her children. Howard is a fine, manly boy of eleven; Lucy, a lovely little creature ot nine; buf Johnny Is the favorite of the household. Mrs. Welden says that lf her husband had lived to see their children so no ble, she would have few things now to trouble her. You remember the black woman she .met at Lagrange. She received a letter from her master, Mr. Harris, a short time since, stating that she was dead, and that her last prayer had been offered In behalf ot 'little Miss Meggie.
