MUBIO IN THE NIOHT.
iiauhiett p. srononn,
When stars purauo their solemn flight
Oft in tho middle of tho night
A strain of muiio visits me,
Hushed in a moment silvery
Such rich and rapturous strains as mako
Tho very soul of ailenco acho
With longing for tho melody.
Or lovers in tho distant duak
Or Summer gardens, sweet with musk,
1'ourii.ir tho bliuful burden out,
Tho breaking joy. tho dying doubt
Or revelers all llown with will,
And in a madness half divine,
Beating tho broken tune about.
Or clao tho rudo and rolling notes
That leavo somo strolling sailors' throat,
Hoarso with tho salt spray, it may bo,
Of many a milo of rushing sea)
Or somo high-minded dreamer stray
Lata through tho solitary ways,
Nor heeds tho listening night nor me.
Or how, how whence thoso tones 1m heard,
Hearing, tho slumbering soul is stirred,
As when a swiftly passing light
Startles tho shadow into flight,
Whilo ono remembrance suitdculy
Thrills through tho melting melody
A strain of tmisio in tho night.
Out of tho darkneu bursts tho song,
Into tho darkness moves along;
Only a chord of memory Jars,
Only an old wound burns its scars,
Ai the wild swcctuosi of the strain
Smite tho heart with passiouato pain,
And vanishes among tho stars.

THE BPNCH-OBA88 COUNTRT.
Tho editor of the Kakmfk gives his account
of tho Upper country, but as no two people
see tho samo thing with tho ssmoejo, we
shall not bo much afraid of duplicating ideas,
and propose to givo tho HomoCirclo tho trip
from a woman a standpoint.
Umatilla is only yet a littlo landing place
for steamboats, though tt started out so brave
fifteen years ago with comer lot at a
premium.
Wallula is no better, it looks ragged and
forlorn, with a fow old struggling houses
among the aago brush and blowing sand. As
wo steam up to tin wharf wo catch our first
glimpse of a narrow gaugo railroad with lo
comotivo and train which ia awaiting with
team up to tako passengers to Walla Walla.
Tho littlo engine looks so comical, a fussy
little thing, blowing, puffing and whistling,
jiut a big as anybody, Tho track ia only
three feet wide and to ia veil calculated to
curve easily around tho Baud hill which we
pass along tho Walla Walla river bottom.
No little praise i duo to the enterprise of Dr.
lUker who put through this admirable little
stretch of road and demonstrated that the.
narrow gaugo it best adapted to tho wanta of
tho country at this time. It was dark by the
time we w ere really on our way so that wo
could only catch the outline of river and hill
as wo went along, tho plucky littlo engiuo
pulled with a vim equal to a bigger one.
Whitman Station was called, but only on
our return did wo see the locality of that
placo which calls to mind some of tho moat
tragio scene of our early history aomo forty
years ago. Tho hill is in plain aight from tho
cars whero aro gathered and buried in one
grave, tho lone of Mr. and Mr. Whitman
and other victim of that dreadful massacre.
For an instaut ouly we catch a view from
between the hill of tho river bottom where
stood the old miaaion house among the tall
green tree and which looka like an oasia in
the deaert of aand and no doubt the foot aore
emigrant thought o too, a they received the
kind hospitality of these inartyra to eiviliia
tion. The land ia now owned by Charle
Sweegle, who give ten acres, comprising tlii
hill and where it U proposed to erect a monu
ment, that ahall commemorate thia story of
early time, and aacred to the memory of Dr.
and Mr. Whitman, to whom we owe the
possession of Oregon. amT Washington, for it
was through hi instumentality that thia
portion of the country waa aaved from British
possession. Ho tr-ueling in mid Winter
aeroa the plain for the apecial purpose only
of placing before Congress the trne value of
the Columbia and'iU trilutariea, as there wa
a probability that this country was about to
lio traded off to fcnuland for a cod fishery.
Mr. J, N. Durham, ail old pioneer andfriend
of Dr. Whitman', Is working to get up a
fund sufficient to erect n monument on tho
liilt, plant trees and othcrwiso beautify tho
spot. Tlicro aro many others who aro work'
ing for tho samo cause anil it ia to bo hoped
that every ono who calls thia country home,
will civo liberally to tho cause. Mr. and Mrs.,
II, Gray of Astoria have dono much towards
jt, having already a subscription of sovoral
hundred dollars, hut it should not bo com
menced without a sum sufficient to do some
thing haiidsomo and worthy of tho object and
liberal character of the people of this new
north-west.
Cradles.
Fortunately for children, cradles aro seen
moro and mora rarely in all families, and wo
aro decidedly of tho opinion that these sooth
ing machines, onco so popular, w 1 soon havo
only a historio interest, lika t .o spinning
wheel. Still there are hero and t.irro mothers
who advocate tho cradle, and f r audi wo
havo a word of advice. In tho drat place, the
rocking motion to which tho child ia subjected
cause an unnatural circulation of tho blood
in tho brain, which tends in tho end to pro
duce a stato of unnatural oxcitability. Now,
if this takes place several timoa a day, and
thoso motions ef tho cradlo aro carried to ex
cess with rcatlcas and wakeful children, it ia
clear to our mind that tho cflccta can only bo
injurious, especially when wo rcmombcr tho
fact that children once accustomed to it are
often treated with it for years. Case aro not
rare of serious injury to tho circulation of tho
braiu from violent rocking given to infants
when entrusted to nurses or ignorant children.
It ia not difficult, with a littlo patience, to
treat an fnfaut so that, as soon aa the timo for
sleeping approaches, ho will go lo sleep in his
littlo bod without any artificial aid. If tho
beginning has been made, and if tho mother
ha not been softened by tho diaagrccablo cry
ing of tho child to rock it to sleep iu tho cradlo
or iu her arm, it will bo found after a few
day how quickly tho child likes to go to
deep alouo, without tho affliction of popular
remedies of mother. Many mothers will not
bcliovo this truo until they luvo tried it and
learned from experience. Although tho child
may cry at Tint, it soon loams to go to asleep
quietly, and tho mother has tho additional ad
vantage of gaining valuablo timo for rest from
her domestic duties. Why docs a healthy
baby need rocking, more than a bin), a colt
or a calft Hviald of Jlcalth.
Jewish Longevity.
Somo rcmarkablo statistics have lately been
published concerning tho Jew. It appear
from tho most careful German estimates that
tlicro aro twelvo millions of this raco in tho
world, or one Hebrew to one hundred and
sixteen of all mankind. Iu Frankfort tho
comparative longevity of Christians and .few
was a follows i Ono-fourth of all Christians
liorn died in seven years; tho aamo proportion
of Jews lived aliove twenty-eight years. One
half of the Christian died in thirty-six years
and a half; of the Jew one-half lived more
than flfty-thrco year. Tho remaining fourth
of the Christians wero dead at sixty year,
and of tho Jews not till aeventy-ono years.
In Pruaaia forty-four iter cent, of the Christ
iana lived to b'o fourteen, years old and fifty
per cent, of tho Jew. Twelve per cent, of
tho Christian endured till their twentieth
year, but twenty per cent, of tho Jew. In
100,000 of the Christian population thero were
M3 deaths and only eighty-nine death among
tho same number of Jows. Long lifo ia in the
Jewish faith their cvidenco of tho Divino ap
proval. Thcao statistic prove, so far aa they
go, that they havo it, more than tho Christiana
around them. Or clae they provo that Christ
iana aro not aa faithful to tho law of lifo aa
tho Hebrews. A dihTercuco of ono fourth and
more in tho average duration of cxistenco is
certainly rcmarkablo. Ia it not actually true
that Jewish children are better brought up
and cared for than the children of Christian
populations!
A Doomed City.
Tho town of Covington, la., says the Sioux
City Journal, is literally a doomed city. Sit
uated on the bend of tho Missouri river, the
bank are being gradually eaten away, and
the ground, on which the Court House stood a
year ago is now covered by many feet of faat
flowing water. The cutting away it dono by
fit and starts. Itocently tho current set in
shore and took nil" a atrip of land thirty feet
wido in a few hour. No invasion were
made for another week, when another slice
waa cut oft. Then about a dozon buildings
were moved back some thirty feet, and tho
next day the land on which they hid atood
wan .all gone. The citizen havo tried to
moor trees and log to tho bank in tho hope of
forming a barrier for the flood, but the cur
rent is ao awift and the water ao deep that
these attempt havo failed. To give an idea
of what the town of Cuvington ha ulTerel
in the past five year the caae of the ferry
house, and (he principal hotel may be instanc
ed. Two yeara ago thero were 000 feet of
land between the building and the river bank;
now you can tosj a atone out of the hotel
window into the river, and the buildings are
now being put on rollera for removal.
Tinr-Kmr claimed to know something of
human nature and he advised hi frienda not
tn ,lernit tnn much unon the face in ludgins
people. A an illustration he tell how he
once followed a man with the uggliest face
he ever aw and found that lie waa carrying
food to a ick and i'etitute widow with six
i.;i.ir..,. lTvn this it is related that a be
liever in Thackery selected a man with a vil

toeewhat widow he wa going to relieve,

CHILDHOOD.
Out.of my window I look,
And tho boy go trooping by;
Voice a noisy a sugar is sweet,
Hand that are mlschiovous hope that are fleet,
And I know when the slivers glido into their
feet,
By tho sudden and clamorous cry,
I gazo at the pattering feet;
Bed. like tho cinnamon, bean
And I know, that a onward tho Summer rolls,
stone braise will cluster upon tlicir sole,
And bee stings, in anger and roseato knolls
Will ornately gleam, hero and there.
I look on tho restless hands,
Tlmf itiuttiM amtil ilinlt fun.
And I know they will reach through tho
orchard fence,
And spito of tho measures to warn them
IIIUUCO,
Tho big cross dog with the law immense,
They .will gather the apple in,
I look on tho sturdy backs
Bibbed liko the sides of a snip;
And I know that oft in their flying tracks,
Tho farmer will follow with wrathful whacks.
And tho boy will taste, with their writhing
backs,
Less apple than buggy whip.

After a pleasant walk' through the grain
fields, I tako tho pleasure of writing a few
line thia evening to your ao much esteemed
paper, I found tho grain looking well; which
is tho caao with moat all the grjln in the
alloy. One of our littlo friend ask us to
tell how wo enjoyed the Fourth. For my

had a celebration at Amity on the 3d, which
was a great success; had a frco dinner and
everyone seemed to enjoy it. I intended to
send Aunt Hetty somo of thoso flowering
bulbs, but I forgot about it, ami let the
flower fall off without marking tho spot.

I take tho pleasure of writing to your paper
tho second time aa the letters are running out.
Aunt Hutty wanted ua to write about Itusala.
I don't know much about it but I will try.
Bussia i a very cold country, in the north,
but in the southern part is much milder. St.
Petersburg is the Capital. Moscow is the
next in aize. 1 thiuk there ia a place in
tho northern part called Lapland. Tho in
habitant livo in enow houses and ride in
sled drawn by reindeer. The Laps dress in
fur and skins. They are very fond of jewel.
When the girl are about fifteen they look
like they are about thirty, I don't think
many tree grow in the north for it is too
cold. I will draw my writing to a close aliout
Bussia, and write about something else. We
have not commenced to harvest yet but will
in a few day. It i very nice weather now
for harvest, it is so cool. We have about
(JO young chicken. We have a pretty good
garden. Annie Lamb wanted to know where
we went on the Fourth. I did not go any
place on the Fourth, but I went to the fair
on the fifth and had a real nice time. I
wonder where she went on the Fourth or
fifth. I would like to know how old Joe
Mathewa ia, he don't tell his age; hi writing
is more like a man'. I want all the girls and

Aa you were so kind a to publish my first
letter, I thought I would write again. I will
toll tho little folks where I live and what my
occupation is; I live on a farm in the north
west comer of Washington county, on a amal
branch of Tualatin river that come dancing
and laughing out of the east aide of tho coaat
rango of mountains. It la a beautiful stream,
ita water aro a clear aa glass; it ia a nice
stream for the littlo speckled trout to dwell
in; thoy are so nice that'it will canse their
destruction, for parties come from a long dis
tance to catch them. Can't we have a law to
mako men ami lioya lot the little fishes be? I
have lived in this valley ever ainco I can re
member; I think it is the prettiest place in
the world. The mountains to the west aro
covered with evergreen timlier, which ia very
beautiful, and when the anow falls on the
tree-top and the aim shines on the mountain
aide, the acene i most beautiful, I have not
told yon half of tlnmico things that we have
in thia littlo valley, but I am afraid my letter
would lie to long, ami Aunt Hetty may not
like such long letter. Aunt Hetty said alio
wanted aome cat-ear bulb and white camas,
but I have hunted for some and am sorry to
aay I could find neither, lam afraid alio will
have to wait till Spring, unless somo little
girl has been more successful than I. Hoping
to hear from Katie ft. and Ottie, I will close
with my beat wishes to the Farmer.
