Editor, Willamette Fahmeh: Wlion reading your pjpor a fawr days fgi, I noticed u piece cm tho ''Prow of Fitriu Life," by 41 Happy Hnl," and I also uotlcod ono frot l a farmer's daughter lu Line ounly lu opposi tion, who, I thluk, des-rves much credit and realizes her noblo position, belntf tho deu.nh .tcrot odo we prido onrHelvos on belnoillod tho "nobility of tho land." Now, I do not want that person to think I am givon to crit icism or stubbornness, for I admit It was wall gotten up, and the two succeeding pieces, one on "Buying Oits," und the oibor nn " Borrowing Money," wero oxeollent, but in the ono to which I refer there wero homo portions from which I bee leave to differ. I am net a farmer, but a farmer's wlfo, and claim the privilege of giving my views on tlil subject. Our Irlond " rial " says he has experienced a little of tho poetry of farm life, but not of ilio prose, nor have I, nuoh as ho describes. 1 am a mlddle-agod woman, and have spent jtho greater part of my life lu the country, and I would not exchange my position for that ot the Prc-fldont. I have not UU riches, neither have I his carca. " Hal " Kpeaks of the plowtnau who, by M hard dally work, trows old much faslvr than he ought to, and tho poor wife who Is nl'nilo a drudgo. Such may bo tho case, but It is not necossary, nor lo hiiy of tho farmers I have ever known riso at four o'clock hi the morning, not even iu summer. Wo purchased a farm six or aevon yettiH ago with nu improvements ou It ,ttt all. and now ws havo enough open to rai&o much more lhau we can consume. This was not done without labor; but, by proper maijauoinotit, ono need not always be . tdave to work, and as to out; hours of lels ure, wo have more than any other cltviy. Go into tho cits', and sou the husband going iionjo to dinner, who strides along with nil possible huito to tut his meal and toturn to ills business, and not to enter his home ut.til U3ii or eleven, to rind his family havo retired. Thoso mo the onea who need our sympathy, 'i'ho wild may fret ub jut Aim, thinking he is (rowing old and petulant, and does not con sider it is through her own gontleaud loving kindness all his wants aro supplied ; but, dear wives, they are not to blame; mental la lior is over-exerting them; all they lackis out door exercise. But not so with us. Our work li notevory day tho same; ono day will lid tho farmer at the plow, another with his Jioo, or going to market with something, and ou his it. turn ho meets his rosy-cheBkbd ijoys Rnd girls, who welcome him to dlnuor, which has boon preparod by aomo loving companion or daughter, and at the clos9 of tho day hl work U buspcindtid, ho goes Into tuo houho, to find a gluwing fire, with his .i'apj'.v uiiiily.iioikUiI around it, his wifrf lms .'Tplacc-d his ariu-ohiiirln itn titsi'iisloui'rt viIhcb uy ner side, nun nio iiiu iiippjr", lorino any has 'KSH'd, and noihlngiiow but tolvkn hn -o'jmtorr. lliiiltlo bo and girls clamber on hla Icuob as InougM they had not nbun him for di'j'H, and, wliou tboir lomp Is over, they tGUpnt tholr prayeis, bid liiili good ulfcbf, and xotlro, to iio in the moiulng and continue their f folio a rid gjuica for such ijoouutry life. As to our appearance, we havo to dross ac cording tocur work, and the housewife at tends to her morning duties of putting things to rights, and gutting the children washed and combed. Wo generally don a calico Ires, a white apron, a collar with a Tibbon at the throat; then we are prepared to receive visitors of any rank; but we are not often troubled with such friends as " Happy Hal " spoaks of, thovo who come tor the pur--joso ol golu! awey with full stomachs of lrult, stalled turkeys, and yellow-legged chickens. Ho a!si speaks of farmers as bringing up their children un'ducaU'd, but he is mistak en. Wo tiy to Imitate the city people m that xflspoct. They think they must send their children i:lf to some foreign country; we think it necessary to fcond them to Home high neuool lu a distant city, there give them an education, tbu tell them Ms lime to choose wi occupation, and, having grand ideas of city lite, thby are too apt to choose that of a doctor, lawyer, or merchant; and there is no position in which a man becomes a slave to the human race like ono ot these. The doc tor knows not at what moment be may be -oalhd miles away, day or night, to visit a pa tient, and by sc ue ho Is called a good physi--o:un, and by otheri: nothing but a quack and more fitted to cut eordwoud. The lawyer we fSeuorally see scanning tho papers to tee If lie cannot find some one iu trouble, lie is em ployed to dofend a man; however guilty, he tiiiibt try to make us boiievo lis client is in juvont, and the one who nan talk tho fastest nud loudest, and foil the most tulsehoods iu a. jnlnute is considered tho best man. Now let ua look at tbe merchant. There ho sits he hind tho couutor, and as he watches tho p'H-sr.s-by ho tries hatd, through Impatience and fatigue waiting for a customer, to .mile, but fie frowns and hardly gets bis phiz Into Jihapo uutil some one enters. Now he arises so invite you to exRtnino his stock, and he tries to mako you bfllevo ho keeps Ihe best orticlos and noIIs chtoiper than any other .man, nud when you go he sits down exhnust 43d. Tho evening approaches, to find him in the same nnslilim; lie dsres not close until tho usual time, as some ono might find his door locod, and there would have bfien a low .-cants made had ho remained. At last bo .jilveH up iu despair, mid it ho goe. bonis ho 1h thinking ot that farmer who drove up in tich splendor, with two lovely daughters. Tjurcha-6d b Hue a-wirtinent, and returned Jhomo tree aud happy, and was then tak n : Jiisoasd by his fireside In hU pleassnr couu rv iiome. Mils K. P. East Portland, Feb. in, is;u The Baker brothers, nf Montana, foifori-TiracU-d to ob'alo two live K"isky Mountain jgoata for tbe Centennial exhibition, and tho -tjuostlnn is whbttier they can be snipped jiilve to Philadelphia. Good wheat brings 55 cents cash per buh-.-rnlat Walla Walla, au advance often cents dtnce October. Fahmimg in Palestine. Wo And farming protty much as it was in Noah's days. Wheat is mostly brou fjh t in on tho backs of camols and trodden out by tho feet of mules, though hero and tlioro two and throe ltorso thresh ers have been introduced from Eng land. Maize is cut oil' below tho ears, and tho grain tramped out in tho same way. Tho best farms now havo at least tho modern fan fur blowing out tho chaff. The granary is bimply it hole in the ground, and lined with chaff to keep out tho dirt. The English plows aro yet unpopular. They cut a forked stick. On ono end of the fork they put n broad iron shoo, like n culivator tooth and a pair of oxen is hitched to tho end of tho other fork, and tho plowman takes hold of an end beyond where the forks unite. Tho clumsy thing weighs about thirty pounds, and ovon then costs three or four dollars to got ready to use. It is continually broken, nud a considerable working-time is lost iu patching the; thing. Tho farm-men work from sunrteo to sunset, tho actual day being about tho saino as ours hero In New-York, though tho climate is much warmer than ours. For all this long service, tho compensation is twenty-live cents per day, and at harvest time they get tt half bushel of who.it extra. They grind their own coin, mixing maizo and wheat together ma king a black bread, which is eaten with onions or cactus-berries, and this forni3 almoot their solo food. About I3i:i:s. A lady in Providence relates tho following story : Her fa ther once brought homo a molasses hogshead; to be used as a water-tfuik. On washing-day, her mother said, "Lot us throw tho suds into it to soak the molasses from tho bottom." The instant she had done so she exclaimed, "Oil havo drowned hundreds of our neighbors' bees." Tito hogshead was black with bees, that wero appropriating tho sweets from what they must havo considered an enormous blossom. The good lady ni.ulo haste, with herskimmer, to skim tho bees from tho top of the water, and spread them on u board in tho sun shine ; but they seemed drowned aud nearly dead, ,shj was very sorry. All tho botw that wero around tho hogshead had flown away at tho dash of tho water, but in a few minutes they roturned, accompanied by scores of others. Then began a curious work. They immediately went to work upon the unfortttnato bees, turning them over and over and working upon tlrem constantly with their heads, foot, and antenna. Tho result of their busy la bor was, that ono after another gave signs of life, stretched its limbs and wings, crawled about and dried itself in tho sun and How awav. Tho ladv Lsaid that there was half a pint, at first, anu mat; tnero remained only ahout a dozen hopeless cases beyond tho hu mane efforts of their brothers." Lit tle Corporal.
