"Oh, uovor mlndl thoy'roonly boys;" 'TIh thus tho pooplo say ; And thoy hustlo us and Joitlo us And drtvo us out tho way, Thoy novor glvo us half our rights, I know that that Is so; Ain't I a boy, and can't I soo Tho way that thoso things go ? Whoovor wants an orrnd dono Wo always hayo to scud; Whoovor wants tho sldowalk wo Aro crowded In tho mud. TI hurry-sourry hero and thoro Without a motnont'N rest: And wo novor got a "Thank-yo" If Wo do our vory host. lint uovor mind, boys, wo will bo Tho grown mon by and by; Tli on I supposo will bo our turn To snub tho smallor boy. Over-Taxed Husbands. I dare say most of our renders will glvo this a passing notico thinking tho .subject completely ridiculous and ab surd; but If wo should bo constantly writing on "ovor-taxod wlvos," how many would bo eager to read it, and feol grateful to tho writer for sympa thizing with them in their ovory-day labor and drudgery, as thoy call it. Now, Sisters, all who havo kind and indulgont husbands, do wo consider ourselves their slaves or servants, to toil through Hfo Just for their benefit? I cau almost sco some dutiful wife- look ing at her over-worked and enroworn husband, whoso haggard countonanco shows that a man too may bo ovor-taxod. Who for? is it not for his wife ami family? How many times havo I heard (I am sorry to say) somo of my neighbors remark: "I would not do this or that, It Is not a woman's placo to work out doors; sho should stay in tho house." I do not approvo of her going out and taking hold of tho plow and follow it all day nor with tho hand .spiko or matlock, but should occasion require it, sho might nssist iter hus band In milking, feeding stock, attend Iter poultry, anything that may lighten his burden. Somo try to oxctiso thorn solves by saying tholr family Is so largo they havo no tlmo. If you wish to raiso your children to respect you or bo of any benefit to themselves; teach them not to bo ashamed to soil tholr whlto tondor hands with work, for that Is tho only true nobility. If there is a family of eight or ten, tho oldest loya, with their fathors assistance, should bo ablo to carry on quito a farm. If girls, they aro old enough to tako much of tho responsibility off their mother In doing house-work or taking chargo of tho children, and, among them, can do a great many chores for their father, who has to uso his brain as well as his hands to support his lit tle family, and Mipply all tho wants of our modern young ladles. When a couple havo become husband and wifo, they should Join heart and hand In all thoy undertake. What Is his Interest Is hers also. IJy so doing you may enjoy yourself In your happy home and its surroundings. Our maker gave us this beautiful world with everything necessary for our comfort; tho puro fresh air wo 'breath Is to glvo 113 now Hfo and health, then let us tako exor cise in It. Our homo is tho placo for happlncsi; wo need not seek it else where; it will always bo found in a well-regiilntcU household, whoso laws aro ruled by gentleness nntl lovo. When all these points aro gained wo aro bound to succeed in life. Tho secret of a family's success is, unity in action. Wo had better ilrst learn to ac complish this beforo wo undertako to assist in makiug laws or ruling our country, which will have a tendency moro to derango tho peaco and quiotudo of a family than promote harmony, and will not lighten tho bur don of your husband. Mits E. P. East Portland, April 27. 1877. The Woman Question. Ed. Home Circle: I seo that Mrs. Beanpolo has raised quito a buzz among tho lady readers of your paper. In my opinion Mrs.. B. is a great deal nearer right than either Mrs. Cauli flower or Parsloy, and Mrs. K. Is still nearer right than Mrs. B. I do not bo liovo that God would ever havo given us Intellect, and tho power to think and Judge foroursclvos,lf ho had meaut us for moro machines to bo placed in tho hands of mon for them to do with and dlctttto for Just as thoy seo fit, whethor it is in accordanco with our bettor judgment or not. As for its do grading women to go to tho polls, why docs it not degrade tho men? I hold that any placo whlch'is fit for rospecta blo men to go ought to bo a (it placo for their wives and daughters also. And why should voting compel a woman to enduro nil tho hardships which men havo to endure, when thero aro a great many men who do what Is termed a woman's work and it doesn't intorfcro with their voting in the least. Besides that, I believe that any woman who has a family of children to care for, and nil of her other work to do, has a far harder tlmo than her husband has. Again, when a lady Is traveling I rather think anyone who is worthy tho namo of gentleman would assist her, if sho needed assistance and treat her with courtesy and respect, whether sho belioves in woman's rights or not. A gentleman will treat every one with whom ho comes In contact with courto synnd respect. When It comes to wo men paddling tholr own canoes, there aro thousands of them that havo that to do, whether thoy aro willing or not. How much easier it would bo for such If they could get tho same wages mon do for tho samo work such as teach ing and book-keeping, and tho liko. Tho reading of Mrs. Dunlway's popor will not Injure our young girls as much as going to saloons, calling for driuks, gambling a llttlo, getting drunk occa sionally, will Injure our young mon. It seoiuB from tho way Mrs. Parsloy looks nt mattors, that would not bo very bad. They had hotter stay away from such places, but still thoy would not bo go ing very far out of tho way if thoy did go occasionally. At tho samo tlmo it would bo dreadful for our young girls to read "such silly trash as tho iVcio Xortiuwt." I havo read that paper for the last two yoars and can say that It has nover caused mo to neglect my tarnuy or woric, lor an Hour at any time. As Mrs. Boanpolo is a personal frlond of ours wo would llko to seo hor defend herself n llttlo moro than sho has lately. Hose IIoi'Vixk. Spencer Creek. About FauHfindors. En. Home Circle: If it will not bo presuming too much upon your pa tience, I will notico n fow communica tions that havo appeared in your partic ular donartmont recently. Sister K.'s nitlclo on fault finding needs a llttlo explanation, and In Justice to all I will rlso to explain. Sister K. spooks of thoso naughty fault-finders, as people, and ns a class; but It Is apparent to ov ery intelligent roador, that sho wishes to "admonish" somo particular person through tho Farmer. Now, Sister K. has a son-in-law that Is rather sot in his opinions, some of which nro a llttlo oxcentrlc. For instanco: Ho thinks tho presont uverago yield of cereals per aero could bo nearly doubled by a butter system of farming, and nlso that a farmer should not let his broad acres of good agricultural land grow up In brush and grubs when theio aro poor grangers, who aro willing to put this laud In a stato of cultivation just for the uso of It for a time. Ills Ideas of religion nro moro crudo and untena ble Mill. Ho belioves that whon per sons Join tho church thoy should ho honest and truthful, as well as relig ious, and if they aro not, outsiders ought lo criticise thorn. Ho is so lucred. ulous that ho does not bellovo It Is pos sible for two hills to oxist without a de pression between them, nnd thut ovon tho Lord can not turn a grindstone both ways at tho samo tlmo. Sister IC. has admonished to no offect, nnd know ing that this Yahoo, this Hottentot, al- WILLAMETTE ' FARMER. most swears by tho Willamette Fau meu, sho thought sho would as tho last resort sugar-coat an article, and probably got this pagan to gulp it down with tho othor good "truck" which tho Faiimer dishes out to us every weok. But tho plan failed, and "all is well that onds well;" but if somo mis creont should call tho Farmer tho fooldozor this affair will end in a trage dy yet. What girls should read, is a subject that has called out quito a diversity of opinion; no two, I bcllove, havo agreed as to what our dear girls shall read. The writers themselves will probably derive moro benefit from tho discussion than tho girls will, for girls, as a rule, do not care to read any thing oxcept their big brother's lovo lotters until thoy aro old enough to select their own reading matter, and then overy discreet mothor will glvo them that liberty. Thero nro reasons why girls should not road tho history of Franco, tho "Holy Blblo," a promiscuous selec tion of novels, music, anatomy, physi ology, and Ixrtany, but thero Is no rea son why they should not read tho Wil lamette Farmer.

Girls, Think and re resolute. Girls, listen to this, and with virtuous resolvo demand us your right a puro lovo: Young men of bad habits and fast tendencies novor llko to marry a girl of tholr own sort, but demand a wife abovo suspicion. So pure, sweot wom on, kept from tho touch of evil through girlhood, givo themselves with all their costly dower of womanhood, into tho kooplngof men who, in baso associ ations havo learned to undervalue nil that belongs to them, nnd then And no roncutunco in tho sad after years. Thero is but ono way out of this, and that is for you to require in associations and marrlago, purity, sobriety, honor for honor. Thoro Is no reason why tho young mon of this Christian laud should not bo Just as virtuous as Its young women, nnd if tho loss of your society bo (ho prlco thep nro forced to pay for tholr vieo, they will not pay It. This is plain, sensible talk, and just such as ought to be heeded by all our boys and girls, till tho much needed re formation is fully established. Too much of tho happiness or misery of our children doponds on this for U lo pass without producing deep reflection and action In tho right direction. .VWaYt'tf. "Good Morning !" Dont forget to eay "good morning!" Say it to your parents, your brothers nnd sisters, to your children, or your fellow-workmen and say It cheerfully and with a smllo; it will do you good and do your friends good. Thero is a kind of inspiration in overy "good morning" heartily and smilingly spoken, that helps to mako a liopo l'reshor and work lighter. It seems, really seems, to mnko tho morn ing good, and to bo a prophecy of a good day to como after it. And if this bo truo of tho "good mornings," it is so nlso of all kind, hearteomo greetings. Thoy cheer tho discouraged, rest tho tired one, and, somehow, mako tho wheels of life run moro smoothly. Bo liberal with thorn, then, and let no morning pass, howovor dark and gloomy it may ho. that you will not help at least to brighten by your smilos tttid cheerful words. A Reverend Vegetarian. Says tho Philadelphia 7Vm: Tho Itev. Wil liam it. Algor, tho distinguished Uni tarian preacher of Boston, doesn't eat moat. Onco many yoars ago, on his way up town, he saw a liord of calves on their way to tho blaughtor-houso. Thoy wore packed closely in a van, and wero omitting noises which sounded like human moans. Ono of tho animals looked Mr. Algor in tho faco with an expression so human and so pitiful that the gentleman was deeply affect ed. It haunted him for many days, and led him to mako n solemn vow novor ngain to partako of animal food. Ho keeps his vow religiously, and al though ho dines out a great deal, he abstains strictly from tho uso of animal food of overy sort. Goodnature. Mon nnd womon ro colvo in this life much of what they do serve. It is llko n looking-glass, this big world; grin nnd smllo nt it, nnd it will smilo back; scowl, and It scowls. It is but a confession of one's own un pleasantness nt homo if wo nir our grievances. Tho nlco pcoplo nro not "nlco" without a good deal of troublo on their part. That pleasant fellow who always cheers his acquaintances, nnd who carries an atmosphoro of good nature about him, is probably n hero in Ills way, nnd most likely n good nntur cd philosopher, who takes a great doal of troublo to bo what ho is. Tho ami ablo slstors, who nover complains, has shown In little things as much bravery ns if sho had won tho Victoria cross. On tho other hand, thoso young por sous who havo always n budget of mis eries to pour into tho sympathetic cars of tholr friends nnd who nro totally if tliov nro to bo belioved unannrcciatod at homo, will bo. found, If looked into, not so amiable as thoy might bo.

Origin ov the Plum. Tho Oar tlcnvr's Chronicle (England) says: Our garden plums appear, from tho inves tigations of our Indian botanists, to bo varieties produced by long cultivation of tho primus Inntllllia, a species com mon in tho mountains of Asia, from tho Caucasus to tho Eastern Himalaya, but from which wo havo no authentic ovl deuco of its being a uatlvo of Europe.

'Jblctla blade. An Agonizing Choice. Tho Mom phis (Tenn.) Appeal relates tho follow ing in its account of tho recent burning of tho steamer Gov. Garland iu tho Ar kansas Itlvor: "Capt Nowland's con duct was heroic. Finding It Imposslblo to rescuo his wifo and two children, ho was compelled to forsako olthor tho former or tho latter. Ho had no tlmo to hesitate, for tho flames woro already .scorching tho passengers. Capt- Now laud kissed his llttlo children farewell, and seizing his wtfo plunged into tho water. Ho looked back, but tho little children hu could not hue, for his oyos filled with tears, such as only a father or mothor can know tho meaning of. A deckhand, named Billy Staples, whoos homo It in Memphis witnessed tho sad I'arowoll. Seizing both of tho children In his strong arms, tho bravo man leaped into the water and carried them safely to tho shoro. What a vlant did. A llttlo plant was given to a sick girl. Iu trying to tako caro of It, tho family mado changes in tlioir way oi living, j'irsi, moy cleaned tho window, that more light tulght como to Its leaves; tlien, wiiou not too cold, they would open tho win dow, that fresh air might help tho plant to grow. Noxt, tho clean win dnw nmdo tho rest of tho room look ho untidy that thoy used to wash tho floor and wail auu arrange tuo iiiniuura moro ncntly. This led tho father of tho family to mond a broken chair or two, which kept him at homo fovoral even ings. Alter tho work was dono. ho stayed at homo, Instead of of spending his lclstiro at a tavern, and tho money thus saved went to buy comforts lor them all. And then as tho homo grow attracttvo, tho wholo family loved It hotter than over before, and grow healthier and happier with their flow ers. Thus tho llttlo plant bought u real iw woll as n physical blessing. f- Plato, pagan though ho was, novor said n truor thing than that "Light is tho shadow of God."
