Tho record of a fiuddon death nnd burial In your paper, determines mo to write my thoughts upon a painful sub ject that often occurs to my mind. I find that many beside myself havo Hint same fear of being buried alive. The custom of speedy burials in our country Is much to bo deprecated, especially so In cases of sudden prostration, In tho midst of apparent health. Of courso thero aro sanitary reasons In times of epidemic diseases why tho dead should bo put away quickly, for the sako of tho living, and thero aro deaths from diseases which allow no possibility of suspended animation. But wo should not bo in too groat haste oven then, to put their lifeless body out of Bight. I know a person hero in Oregon, who, many years ago In u distant State, was completely prostrated, apparently was tho silver thread loosed, and golden bowl broken. Tho' body was tenderly laid out, tho tlmo appointed for burial, and a Hving hand ministered ut night; scarcely knowing why, that friend was Impelled to put somo wino Into tho mouth, nnd after n tlmo blight signs of animation showed themselves, rela tives wcro called up, and now that ono ii still tho loved nnd loving center of n happy home. Thero havo been n grout many theories how to ascertain tho real presence oi death, but nil at times havo not proved to bo certain. Thoro is surely ono sign, nnd thai is, whon decomposition shows Itself, nnd until UIVJii, IIUIU33 ill auiiiu unuuuua-u villi-, no ono should lio put a way. Many sad tlinti iiiiIiij.i It Knitin .t .1 .1 ., lit ...I mien mistakes havo been made, too dreadful to think of, yet us wo aro all mortal, and thero is no getting around tho fact that wo must all pay tho debt to nature, it is well to think of these things for our own Kikes. Washington desired not to bo buried short of forty eight hours: ho may havo partaken of tho same dread. The (homo is a sad ono, nnd wore is not so sad I might rehearse moro of this terror of tho grave. Ruth. J2d. Il0Mi:Ciiiciii:: I havo long desir ed to writo to your valuable paper, but Jie8ltated, in hopes that some ono moro compotcut would t.iko up tho pen, nnd help contrlbuto to tho ladlos depart ment. In tho Issuo of Fob. 10th, was a letter from a Muiuo girl, requesting nn Oregon girl to nnswer It; It has been answered by ono of our Oregon girls, but I thought I mlht say a fow words, nnd let MUs Mu I no girl, know that there Is moro than ono girl in Oregon, yes, a great many moro than ono, and most of thorn can read and write, but they seem to hesitate in regard to con tributing to tho ladles departmont. As to myself, I did not know whether you would accept girls or not, until I saw somo of their letter.-, but as I am young nnd Ine.xporlenced I cannot glv6 ho members of tho Homo Ulrclo many very Interestluir Ideas. I am at present learning tho art of housekeeping, which I consldor a very precious and needful nrt to all of us farm daughters, and as for outdoor work, It is tho height of my joy to spend a couplo of hours dig ging up my llowor beds and planting seeds, and resetting bulbs, which I have been doing tho past week. Fear ing this will not miss tho wasto basket I will close, first asking what has bo t'omo of Jennlo Squash and tho rest of tho vegetable garden. ' An Ouecjon Qiku Elkton, Oregon.

OUR BOYS. The following letters which wo pub lish, come to us In response to an invi tation which we gave to our boy read ers to furnish us an nrtlclo for the Far mer. We suggested tho subject, "How to break a colt," as ono most likely to bo nearest n boys heart, and wo prom ised a book for tho bestofforU Wo aro much pleased with theso letters, and hhnll find It difllcult to sny which is the best. Tho writers ail tell tho great secret of success in tho raising of all domestic anlmnls when they recom mend kindness, gentleness and pa tience. A boy with theso sentiments will grow to bo n man of honor and good reputation nnd will make a sue cessful farmer. But when wo see a boy cruel, canning dogs, worrying cats, and otherwlso delighting in tormenting tho helpless creatures In his power, you may bo sure that boy will make a dis honest, cowardly mnti, nnd a sneak, whoso word cannot bo trusted, and wo would not trust him witli a dollar. Wo havoseen intelligent horses whoso lives wero worth more to tho world than Such ns he. If a farmer, such a man will havo baulky horses nnd kicking cows, that bring only half prlco in mar ket; so wo see it pays to bo kind, If for no higher reason. Wo hope to hear from others, and would liko to know if any boy thinks benting nnd unklndncss helped him to bo gontlo nnd good. Ed. Home Chicle: Taking notice of your Inducement to got Bomo boy to writo an nrtlclo on tho best way to break a colt. I will glvo you my plan. There nro but very few men that know how to uso a colt, ana oven It they do know they havo not got pationco enough to drlvo them. Kindness and pationco aro required. In learning a colt to lead If ho docs not want to go pull his head first to ono tilde and then to tho other, bo kind to him and in a short time ho will lead without any trouble. Above all things do not whip or kick him, but taiK to nun gently, let mm Know that vmi U'lll twit hurt. Mm i1i tint uiwilil nr halloo at him, for in thnt way ho will become afraid of von. and lumn and Jerk for fear you will hit him. In driv ing Do care ail ulxiut using tho whip too freely, that Is a wrong plan; If n stone, or a stump, or an.vthlnir of tho kind. should bo regarded with fear, do not whip nnd drlvo tho colt, but let him stand and look at tho object, talk to him, get III in to go closer to it, In tills way ho will In tlmo go anywhero you want him to tjo without fear. Thero are hundreds of horses this day that have boon ruined on account of improp er breaking. Now 1 havo helped to break colts, and I havo been run over and tumble! about as much as any body, hut for all that 1 profess to know something about breaking colts. Now for four of getting this letter to long I will clone. If you think this letter worthy of your preys print it, If not lay it aside. Jte.spect fully yours, IIukijM. Fi.irrciiKit.

My plan is this: 1 never broko many colts, but then I always find It tho best way tJ bo kind to tho dumb brutes, es pecially tho horse. If you want to break a colt to lead, bo careful in put ting the hiilter on It, and if it don't lead right oil' don't get mad and go to beat ing It, over tho head, but bo kind to it, and go up to It, and pat It on tho neck, and lot it know that you won't hurt it, nnd by being kind with it, and working with it in thin way, and draw ing Its head llr&t'ono way and thon tho other, and talking to It all tho time, ami in less than no tlmo you will havo it broko so It will follow you right oil' liko an old horso. If you want to break It to work, hitch It up with u gontlo horse, and drlvo them a round a while before hitching them to tho wagon or plow. Tin little word ''It" means colt. From u country boy. V. L. I J. Irving, Ltuio Co. 3Ci. IIOMiiCmeu:: I saw n nleco In your paper about tho plan of breaking colts.

Auu.vu Beds. rso housekeeper lins any valid claim to noatnojs, cleanliness and tidiness, snyw tho Watchman, who makes her beds ns soon as they aro va cated; or if alio has such a claim, it is Imbed on tho condition of ignorance. To demonstrate this, let it bo remem bered that of all tho food and drink taken, about three-fifths pas-tout of tho system through tho outlet of tho skin tho poros about eoven millions In number. This wasto and otl'oto putrid matter Is dead and polsonou-j, parsing oir moro rapidly by night, and becom ing moro or less entangled In tho bed ding and on tho surface of tho body. iinco tho necessity for bathing and brushing, with still greater necessity for airing and purifying tho bedding. This is done most eirbctually by oxjhis uro in tho light of tho morning un and In tho morning air. Indeed, tho sun Is tho great purifier, and nothing is hid from the heat thereof." And hero It may bo remembered that tho bedding of the sick, so soon saturated by tho filth of acuto disease, by being changed onco In at least six hours, and exposed to tho free sunlight for the same time, will bo perfectly tuifo with half tho washing otherwise absolutely needed. Such clothes cannot be kept VVOJLAMETTE FARMER too clean, while thoro Is no danger of too mucu caro in tlieso respects, as ono of tho means of controling such acuto diseases as fevers and inflammations. Tho Dutch method of placing all of tno movable clothes or tho bed on two chairs near the window, allowing them to remain till afternoon, might well be copied by Yankee housekeepers. Wasto and Want. Either man must bo content with pov criy all his life, or else deny himself somo luxuries nnd savo to lay tho base of Independence in tho future. But if a man dcllo the future, and spends all ho earns (whether his earnings; bo ono or ten dollars n day) let him look for lean nnd want at somo future timo for It will surely come, no matter what ho thinks. To save is absolutely tho only way to got a solid fortune; thoro is no other certain mode. Thoso who shut their eyes and ears to thoso certain lacts will bo forovor poor, and in their obstinnto rejection of truth mayhap will dlo in rags and filth, Let thorn so dlo, nnd thank themselves.

Fortuno for thoso who by diligence, honesty, frugality, placo thumsoluos in n position to grasp hold of fortuno when it appears In viow. Tho best ovldenco of frugal ity is tho five dollars or moro standing hi your name at the savings bank. Tho best ovldenco of honesty consists In diligence nnd frugality. A Deohadino Life. Tho Teuton of old quite ignored a woman's person ality, ilo guarded her virtuo simply through tho motive of right nnd prop erty which was vested in her. Ills sense of Independence could not brook encroachments upon his possessions, whether of parson or property, licncd ho hedged woman in with laws that wore ns wounding to her modesty its tliey wero derogatory to lior honor. Shu was regarded us a fruit-bearing tree only. Nor wero theso laws confin ed to the old English nnd their neigh bors. They wero generally used throughout tho Teutonic races. In tho Bavarian laws ho who disarranges a woman's hair or detaches her comb Is lined a certain amount. Legislation on such a subject, entering Into such mi nute details, taking such stringent measures, implies groat abuse, and proves that woman was not tho object of respect to thu ancient Teuton wiilch somo ono would mako her, and that sho was simply cared " because she was to Da tho mother or tho young 'm rocs and vikings who wero l porpolu ato tho name and tho prowess of their father.-'.
