This Is no bad rosolvo, provliled all the

that business. Farming, In tho full tncanliiK
of tho word, Is a ?ooU business, and a busi
ness that requires brains, nervo, ozporlonoo
and capital. Tbo great blunder in this busi
noss Is, that Tory many tnon go into It who
aro lnexporlonced. and who have not capital
to carry It forward In a proper and profitable
manner. It Is truly a olonco that teaches a
deep lesson. Not a tenth man who tills tho

" PITCH Mf."
Come, young ladles, tbo time for folly,
foolish new and fashion is about gone.
Tlio sooner you "Pitch In" and make
yourself more useful and less ornamental
tho bettor for you. Everybody's son
doesn't own a bank, and men ain't
n round buying household pets and wall
flowers for wives. The slock of "old
tools" is about run out, and Detsy Janes
and Hannah Anns will be in demand
after awhile by sensible men, who want
helpmates ami not help eats. Pitch in,
help your mother, learn something from
her before sho dies nml leaves you an Idle,
ignorant do-nothing a stumbling block
In tho road of life for oth cm to run against
nud fall over. (Jo to work, It inustcotne.
Theso are terrlblo times, and the sooner
you realize tho awful facts nml condition
of things In everyday life tho better it
will boforyou. Take your old mother's
place in thedlning room and tho kitchen,
and "glvo her a rest." Bhowu disposi
tion to help her, even if you are in the
wav. It will cheer her old heart to know
that you are at least willing to help her
ovon n you don't Know now. i'ltcu m
and try at any ruto.
ALL SORTS OF PEOPLE.
Who aro tho most disagreeable people
to live with? Ono will answer, "Those
who aro Irrltablo or wontonly unkind."
Another, "TIioho who aro Jealous anil
suspicious." Still another, "those who
uro ho hopolcssly energetic in word and
action ns to render reposo impossible In
their vicinity." I'ow will say "Those
who aro vicious;" for It Is true thatthose
qualities which como under tho head of
foibles rather than of vices render people
most Intolerable as companions unil coad
jutors. For example, It may ho observed
Hint thosu persons have a more worn Jail
ed iind dispirited tool: than any others,
who have lo live with people who make
iIlfllouUlcH on every occasion, great or
small. It IsaxtonlHiiIng to sen how this
practice of making dilhcultlcs grows Into
uconflrmul habit of mind, and what ills
heartenmentlt occasions. Tho savor of
life Ih taken out of It when you know
that nothing you propose to door sug

any i espouse hut an enumeration of the
illlllcullks that will He lu the pith you

HOW IT IS DONE.
"What kind of houso will wo play?"
asked one littlo girl of another. "Oh,

THORNS.
Tho highways of life are thickly set
with thorns. Kvcrwhcredo they spring
up from numberless directions do thoy
obtrude to trouble and wound us. The
names nf their hiding-places is legion.
An old, long-disused garment a dry nud
faded llnwer pressed nud laid away n
look or tone recalling bygones a minuet
hour a familiar scene of nature may
each awaken thorny memories, to pierce
us In some silent hoqrof retrospect. Tho
thorns which oftonest wound, and with
sharpest sting, are thosu we ourselves
plant along the way-side of our pilgrim
age thorns wo plant in carelessness, in
aclllshncstf, In nridu and In passion. And
we come In sharp ami painful contact
with them, perchance, In long years af
terward. One dollar put nt compound interest
iiimn the day Columbus discovered Amer
ica would amount In 1870, when our re
sumption net goes Into eireot, to tho
paltry sum of $0,1110,000,000. If old Chris,
had thought of it he might have had n
sinking fund for tho United States to re
sume ou. Somebody take tho hint and
deposit a dollar in n Chicago or San Fran
cisco savings bunk.
Stanley, tho newspajier man, proves at
last to bo the greatest of African explor
ers. Ho has demonstrated that the Congo
river of the coast comes down from tiie
far Interior of tho African continent.

WILIMETTE FARMER
MORAL TXAUnKO UT SCHOOL.
An Essay it ad by Mrs. Nillik Com. before
the Salem Teachers' Institute, Nov. 12.
While there are various modes, snob aa re
wards, and punishment by imprisonment'
and torture, for tbo prevention of crime, yet
thoreseomstobeno mechanical means for
tho Inculcation of moral principles In the
heart, and it appears that this can only bo
accomplished by frequently calling tbo
attention of tho child to the subject, and
clearly explaining tho principles of moral
ity, aco.omnanlad bv suitable Illustrations.
Tho child should first bo taught that tbo
conditions of his belrg places blm under n
throofold obligation. 1st Obligation to his
Croator. 2d Obligation to himself. 3d
obligation to his follows, and that his pres
ontand futuro happiness and welfaro de
pends upon the dUchargo of this threefold
duty.
I would ondeavor to teach blm concerning
the goodness of God In creating him with
hoalth and faculties for enjoying the boauti
ful things of the world, and deriving pleas
ure from his social relations to his kindred
and friends; yet I think that tho minds of
voung children are not of snfflolent capacity
to comprehond a auhjeot of snob magnitude,
and can more readily receive instruction
from that whlob tbelr natural eyes can see,
and their hands can handle; and slnoo self
preservation U the first law of nalnro, it
wonld seem thatoneof the first things to be
taught him, would bo his duty to himself.
Ho shoujd bo taught that he possesses a
twofold oxlstenoo, namoly: physical and
spiritual, oach of which Is mutually dopon
dont upon tbo other; that ho has hands and
physical Btrongth to administer to his cor
poral wants, and that his intellootual nalnro
directs tho power so as to protnoto welfaro
and growth of each. Now It Is to his Interest
to prosorvo both forms of oxistoncn In tliolr
original symmetry and beauty. Ho could
not bo Imiucod to mar tho physical naturn In
thusllahtostdottrcQ. not oven In thosoverlni;
of tho smallest ilngor from tho hand, for
royoral roasnns: 1st It would cause p.tln.
!il It would dtRtroy tho nymtnotry. !M It
would Impair tho uxefulnfss of thn hnnd
Now ho must bo Uught thnt tho spiritual
naturo Is of vnstly more Importance than
tho physical, for thn former Is otornal, while
tho latter Is wufnly temporary and servos
only ns a protection far tho soul a few venrs,
and then is east aside Jut us his old clothe
aro-thrown Bway after tbov havo Hlfbrdod
protection for tho body. Thnn ho can bo
msilo loseo why ho can hotter onJnro phvs.
Icat dofouts for a time, than moral doformltlos
throughout otcrnlty. Hn eiu bo taught that
whon ho tolls a faNohood. or takes thnt
which is not his own, or commits any vicious
act, that ho mars his spiritual naturo, and
ovon though ho ronont, nnd tlmo heal tho
wounu; yot. an ton linger wnion no out wnno
playing with his knlfo, retains an ugly scar,
so will bis soul forevnr bear tho mark of this
dood; and finally, If it nhnuld of.on bo ro-
Coated, llko tho ax which lops nd tho
ranchos of tho forest trees, so will It sovor
somn beautiful momher of his moral naturo,
and If hocontlnuo loog In the course his
wholo spiritual bolng will booomo so hid
eously doformed tlutit will bo fore vor ban
Isbed from nil that Is beautiful and good,
and abandoned to Its own wlckodnoss.
Ilowovor, paradoxical It may seem, hu
manity Is so organlr.s'J that ovory chango of
oharaotor has a tondonov toward a state that Is
unchangeable Thus if a child commence,
the practice of any vice, such as falsehood,
theft, 6r oruolty, each progressive step In
that direction ronders him loss ablo to re
form, and If wo could know tbo first csuio
of the degeneration of the worst criminals of
tho land, we doubtless woulJ find that it was
thn frequent repetition or somo small vice.
"Practloo makes perfeol," la an every day
maxim; and It Is no more true with rogard
tt tho visible and tanglblo world, than with
the subtle and unseen operations ol tho
Intellect. With what rapidity and skill
the long practloed mathematician can solvo
tho most Intricate problems, or astonish tho
novloo with his almost laooncelvablo compu
tations; but no mora rapid or acourato in the
operation In this instance, than is that of the
mind prone to ovll, In orlnlnatlng falsehood
and dovlslng wicked schemes for the accom
plishment nf his unlawful designs. As al
most overy day tho child so' a 'tie ovll re
sulting from giving way to tho violence of
passion, ho cn bo taught concerning tho
fearful results that will follow In after years,
by tho Iniluluenoo of this vlco, which, If It
woro controlled butonco ortwlco perhaps,
would forever after remain latent in tbo
soul.
As we can form aomo estimate of tho pleas
ures and ptlns of vlrtuo and vloo In this life,
and as we have reason to bellevo that In the
horoafter ro wards and punishments will bo
Intonsltled and Interminable; thoro Is thn
reason why wo should always endoavor to
do right.
Now tho child can be taught that each pro
Kresilve step In the path of virtue renders
his doslro for vice less imperative, and the
habitual exorcise of tbo moral faculties in
crosses the moral capacity, and as each suc
ceeding moral act demands less moral power
tbero will be constantly stored up in the soul
an increasing moral fund, that may be ap
propriated toward the aohlevment of a great
er degreoof perfection of oharaoter.
Next to tho child's dutv to himself Is his
duty lo his fellows; and the third of Sir
Isaao Newton's laws, that "to every action of
ono body upon another, thoro Is an equal
and contrary re-act Ion," Is true with rogard
to morals as well as physics, and tbo order
of sequence iu the former Is ust as Invarla
his as It Is In the later excopt with regard to
time. Hut "becauso sentence against au
ovll act Is not exeouted speedily," Is no rea
sou why tho offender should oxpeet to go
unpunished. For It Is written that "What,
soever a man sow that shall ho reap," nml
wo miiv Infer that kls harvest will bo In
criwtod tenfold, for It is also said that "If he
sow lo the wlud bo shall reap the whirl
wind." Kxporlenoe will Boon teach a boy that If ho
strike his playmato ho Is struck In roturu,
aud thalirhocomtnltany t-oluhsh or unkind
act If It Is nut me'ed out to him after the
same fskhlon Immediately, It will react upojy
him at some futuro tlmo, probably In a inortH
unpleasant inviner; perhaps by creating a
spirit ot dislike or (linguist In th hearts of
his playmates, which will cause him muoh
unhapplness by depriving blm of a share in
their sports nnd atTeetious. He must always
rouduot hlmtelf toward others as bo would
llko to have them act toward him. He
would not llko to bs struck or to
htf bis properly takon away, or to bo mis
represented to bis teaeher or schoolmate,
theretore he must not do any of Ihoso things
to others.
Tho child must bo taught lhat there aro
moral qualities in actions, and he must not
always Judgti of an act by the effect produced;
for instauce. If a boy should unintentionally
tread upon bis toes or hurt blm accidentally
In any way, he should not strike or retaliate,
because there, waa no Intention to injure.
Kvery person tola that be U grossly Injured
when he la punished for an accident; and
no ana or moral culture would be guilty of
such glaring brutality. ,
I believe that every persoo.wnethsr young
or old, feels lhat It la right to fight In self
defensa, audi wonld not teach to the con
trary, Tor, while the child should be Uught
that It U wrong to risk bla own pleasure by
destroying that of another, be ahoald also be
taught that it la right to protect himselt
against the imposition of others. And while
he will naturally love those who love him,
and should thankfully receive favors and
liberally reward then, bo should also be
laugbt that it la wrong to Injure hlsonemles
if he have any; that whomsoever ho cannot
lovo, respeot, or pray for, should bo dis
carded from bis thoughts. Moral excellence
should be desired abovo evory other good,
and he who can hold in complete snbjectlor
all unlawful desires and ungenerous
thoughts, has attained tho highest degree oT
perfection of whloh humanity la capabloof.
