THE PATCH WORK QUILT.
In shpcn of silken splendor,
With glittering threads of e;old,
I'vo sccu the waving marvels
That hung in walls of old;
When fair hands wrought the lily,
And brave hands held the hncc,
And stately lords and ladies
Stepped through the courtly dance.
I'vo looked on rarer fabrics,
The wonders of thn loom,
That caught tho flowers of Summer,
And captive held their bloom;
But not their wreathing beauty,
Though fit fir queens to wear,
Can with one household treasure,
That's all my own compare.
It has no golden value,
The pimple patchwork spread;
Its squares in homely fashion,
Set in with green and red;
But in those faded pieces
For me are shining bright,
Ahl many a Summer morning;
And mauy a Winter night.
The dewy-breath of clover,
Tho leaping light of flame,
Like spells my heart came over,
As one by one I name
Theso bits of old-time dresses
Chintz, cambric, calico
That looked so fresh and dainty
On my darling long ago.
This violet was my mother's,
I seem to see her fa;e,
That ever liko sunshine
Lit up the (shadiest place.
This buff belongs to Susan,
That scarlet spot was mine;
And Fanny wore this pearly-white,
Where purple pansies shine.
I turn my patchwork over
A book with pictured leaves
And I feel the lilac fragrance,
And the snow-fall on the caves,
Of all my heart's possessions,
I think I least could (pare
The quilt we children pii-ced at home,
When mother dear was there.
A Mother's influence.
Wendell Phillips related tho following in
an address a short time ago: In a railway
tar, once, a man, about GO years old, came to
it beside inc. Ho had heard mo lecture the
evening before on temperance. "I am master
of a ship, sailing out of New York, and have
just returned from my fiftieth voyage across
the Alautic. About 30 years ago I was a tot;
hipped while dead drunk, as one of a crew,
and was carried on board like a log. When
I came to, the captain sent for me, and asked
me: 'Do you remember your mother?' I
told him she died before I could remember
anything. 'Well,' said he, 'I am, a Vermont
man. When I was young I was crazy to go
to sea. At last my mother consented I should
seek my fortune in New York. ' Ho told me
how she stood on one sido of tho garden gate
and ho on the other, when, with his bundle
on his arm, he was ready to walk to tho next
town. She said to him, 'My boy, I don't
know anything about the towns, and I never
saw the sea, but tliey tell me those great
towns are sinks of wickedness, and make
thousands of drunkards. Now, promise me
you'll never drink a drop of liquor. He said,
'I laid my hand in hers and promised, as I
looked into her eyes for the last time. Shu
died soon after. I've been nn every sea, seen
the worst kinds of life and men they laughed
at me as a milksop, and wanted to know if I
was a coward. But .when they offered mo
liquor I saw my mother across the garden
gate, and I never took a drop. It has been
my sheet-anchor; I owe all to that. Would
you liko to take that pledge?' said he." My
companion took it, and he added: "It has
taved me. I have a fine ship, wife and chil
dren at home, and have helped others." How
far that little candle threw its beams! That
tamest mother saved two men to virtue and
usefulness how mauy more He who sees all
can alone tell.
House Plants In Winter.
As the season has arrived for arranging the
choice plants for beautifying our homes
through the long Winter, a few practical sug
gestions may be acceptable. Large plants take
up so much room that it is better to take ger
anium Blips for the house windows, and put
the large plants into tho cellar to keep for the
garden in the Spring. There are two ways of
keeping them: one is, to take them from the
earth carefully, so as not to break the roots;
hake off the loose earth and hang them, where
they will keep dry and warm in the cellar
through the Winter, and set them out as soon
as warm enough in the Spring. The other is,
to bury the rcots in earth, set them upright
where they will bo saed from frosts, and wa
ter them occasionally through the Winter.
Ivies of all kinds need light and warmth, and
will not live in the cellar, so they need cutting
back when brought into the house.
Pelargoniums that are for Winter blooming
lhould be cut back quite close, taking off all
the old stalks, leaving only this year's shoots.
Hanging plants are very nice, as they can be
suspended from the tops of the windows and
are entirely out of the way. Wire brackets
and window shelves are very convenient in the
Winter for plants that require the sunshine,
like the varieties of coleus. Fuchsias and va
riegated geraniums need a seuth window to
keep them in good condition and beauty,while
others thrive finely in either east or west win
dows. Great care should be taken to keep ail
insects off the plants, as they will never thrive
if infested with teem. Frequent Wishing is
the surest preventive; a pinch of sulphur bu
ried in each crock will help exterminate in
iectavand ki'l any wonts that may be in the
earth. A little sulphur burned in the sitting
room is as beneficial to plant health as it it to
animal health, and ought always to be attend
ed to, occasionally, as it destroy! all fungous
growths on walls or plant potf, and renders
the atmosphere pure. Care must be taken
not to wattr the plants too much. Helio
trope, lilies and ivies require more drink than
any other house plants. Farmer1! Wii, it

Sago Tea for tho Hair.
A large tablcspoonful of borax would bo the
right quantity to half a pint of tea. If the
hair were coming out rapidly, I should uso it
every day. I know nothing of vaseline as
used for the hair, but oil would do no damage
to tho ends of the hair; but if tho hair is dry,
and splits at the ends, I should think it ad
visable to cut it off a trifle, as it would in
crease the growth and health of tho hair. Alt
the care needed in tying the hair, would be
not to put it up so tight as to have it pull,
whether on pins, papers or braids. The ap
plication should he made, either with a sponge
or soft cloth. Part tho hair and wet the roots
of it thoroughly all over the head, then brush
the hair till nearly dry. Again, I would say,
do not uso a fino tooth comb, as it irritates
the skin. If one's hair is natually oily, it
would bo well to wash the head occasionally
with some warm castile soap and water, to
which a few drops of ammonia are added.
Doing up one's hair tight so as to have it pull
or draw, is a great injury to tho hair, as it iu
flames the roots and breaks off tho huir.
I think that borax is preferable to rusty
iron in the tea, as it does not gum the hair or
color the skin. I have known tho uso of sago
and borax after only one week's trial, to stop
hair entirely from falling off. It does not
color the hair, but simply invigorates and pre
serves it, and renders the scalp healthy, which
is very desirable, as a woman's hair is her
crown of glory, and a beautiful head of hair
is one of the most elegant ornaments that a
woman can possess. Fanner's Wife, in Coun
try Gentleman. "
Sweet Pickles.
To 9 pounds of fruit add 3 pounds of sugar,
1 pint of pure cider vincgar.ltud spices to suit
tho taste; I prefer cloves and cinnamon, and
shall use 4 ouuees of each for a four-gallon jar
of pickles containing about 30 pounds. Some
grind the spices and others break tho cinna
mon into bits and add it with the cloves, but
I dislike to be continually finding sticks in tho
sauce, and shall sew them Crmly into a thiii
muslin bag, and boil them up with tho fruit,
allowing them to remain in tho jar until cnip
tied. Last year I boiled the vinegar and su
gar, and turned it over tho berries; poured it
off next morning, scalded, and leturncd, and
repeated the process again, but as the sauce
commenced fermenting, and had to bo scalded
over, I shall, this Fall, boil up the berries be
fore turning them into the jar. This mode is
a good one for sweet apples, crab apples, pears
or green tomatoes. I steam the apples and
pears until soft enough to admit a spiko of
broom corn; lay carefully in a jar and pour the
spice and sweetened vinegar over them.
CHOICE RECIPES.
Stuffed Tomatoes. Tako six large, well
shaped to-matocs, cut a slice off tho stem end
and take out nil the pulp and juice, being
careful not to break the skin, then sprinkle
them inside with a little salt and pepper, have
a pound of cold cooked veal, beef or chicken,
a slice of boiled ham or fried bacon, chop very
fine, and add tho pulp and juice of tho toir.a-
toes, chop fine and -fry to a light brown half
an onion, and mix with the meat a teacupful
of fine bread-crumbs, two eggs, a teaspoonful
of white pepper, and a pinch of cayouno, fill
tho tomatoes with the force-meat, piling it
quite high, and bake for an hour.
Spanish Stew. Spanish stew is a Baltimore
dish, and is considered ono of the nicest that a
Maryland dame can set before a guest. To
mako it, first boil a pound and a half of sir'
loin, save the liquor, and wait until tho next
day. Then cut the beet into small pieces and
put it into a heated saucepan with a teaspoon
ful of butter, half a pint of highly seasoned
tomato sauco and the liquor, and let it simmer
for half an hour. Just before dishing mash the
yolk of a hard boiled egg, Btir a quarter of a
teaspoonful of curry powder into it and mix it
with tho stew.
Light Chocolate Cake. Tho ingredients of
light chocolate cake are two cupfuls of sugar,
one cupful of butter, three and a half cupfuls
of flour, one cupful of milk, one-half teaspoon
ful of soda, ono teaspoonful of cream of tartar,
the yolks ot five eggs and the whites of two.
For tho frosting uso tho whites of three eggs,
eighteen teaspoonfuls of sugar, two squares of
chocolate and two teaspoonfuls of corn starch.
Melt the chocolate, stir iu the beaten etrgs, the
suear and corn starch, flavor with vanilla and
put on the cake while hot.
A thousand wondeisin nature are lost to the
human eye, and only revealed through the
microscope. Think of dividing a single spi
der's nest into a thousand strands, or count
ing the arteries and nerve3 in the wing of a
irossamer moth. Yet by the powerful aid of
a lsns of a microscope it is found that there
are more than 4,000 muscles in a caterpillar.
The eye of a drone contains 14,000 mirrors,
and the body of every spider is furnished
with four little lumps, pierced with tiny
holes, from each of which issues a single
thread, and when a thousand of these from
each other are joined together they make the
silk line of which the spider spins his web,
and which we call a spider's thread. Spiders
have been seen as small ai a grain of sand,
and these spin a thread so fine that it takes
4,000 of them put together to equal in size a
ingle hair.
Almost as much care it taken to dry hay in
Norway as fishj for the weather has its vicis
situdes, and the Winter is long and wearisome
to man and beast. Hay is hung up to dry.
Stakes are set about three feet high, and pins
inserted, upon which slender pole are laid.
The poles are so arranged that when grass is
placed upon them they shed rain. The aun
aaiwind soon do the making, aided by stal
wait'females, employed in turning and hand,

In the upper part of Sonoma county, Cal.,
a railroad track crosses a deep ravine upon
the upright trunkt of tall trees, which have
been sawed off upon a horizontal line. In the
centre ot the ravine a firm support it furnished
by two huge redwood trees which have been
lopped off seventy-fire feet above the ground.

.OUR LETTER BOX
Failed two weeks ago to have its usual column
of communications from the little letter writ
ers. The mistake was so bad that there is an
apology duo to tho readers of the letter box.
Childien always like to know the reason why,
and wo will explain: It happened in this
way; Aunt Hetty was to go into the country
to mako a visit, and of courso she had to pre
paro for tho Home Circlo in advance, and as
there were but three letters on that day, sho
only attended to preparing those three for tho
printer to set up, and toll the editor of the
Faumf.ii that when some more letters came
thereto, he might add something himself, and
add a few more letters, too. But it was all
forgotten, and tho letter column was V-uipty.
Wo missed them, too, as wo opened tho sheet
and found no little letters. There were soma
other grown folks, too, who looked iu vain for
the usual contributions of the children.
So wo beg pardon of our young friends, and
will sco that it does not happen ag.iin very
soon. It happens that tho first letter that we
open this week is from "A Pilgrim," Tho truo
name is given, but tho writer wishes it not
printed; it's too bad that tho fanner gets so
poorly paiil for his hard work. There is real
ly no business that seems to yield so small a
profit, while there is so much capital invested
in tho shops of land, implements and stock,
besides tho hard work early or late that is re
quired to earn that Iittlo which ho gets, and
only twenty-fivo cents for oats that aro six
months growing to wait for. It's very little for
the trouble. Pilgrim has a good neighborhood
with a Blue Ribbon club, etc. Will Pilgrim
tell the Home Circle in the next letter what or
who is a Pilgrim and what tho word means?
Ida ought to try and keep her Calla lily
from blooming till Winter, for Winter flowers
are more valuable. She must let it be neglect
ed awhile, and then, about Christmas times,
must begin to treat it well, and water it with
warm water, and by February there may he
flowers on it. If, as soon as the blossom be
gins to fade, the flower stalk is cut carefully
close down to the ground, it will often send
up another flower in tho same place, and
sometimes the tiny bud may no seen there
near the root. It was nice to be able to keep
house so that mother could leave feeling con
tended about home matters.
There h no fear of such a good letter as
William's getting into tho waste basket, and
it is to bo hoped that those whoso names ho
has mentioned will write again if their letters
give satisfaction. Clayton writes for tho first
time, and wo hopo ho will write again before
long, as wo want to know something about
that part of Oregon.
Emma says she weighs 01 pounds, that is a
good deal for a girl of ten. It speaks well for
that part of the country. Wc have heard for
many years of Soap Creek; it was settled
about there many years ago. We always won
dered how that little stream got such a queer
name. Perhaps Emma will find out and tell
the Homo Circle. Also, how Pudding River
got its name. The " Ricreal " river, in Polk
county, was named by the French trippers
"La Creole," but the name has become Amer
icanized, losing much iu the change. Also,
"Rogue" river, in Southern Oregon, was call
ed "Rougo" (or red river) from tbocnUoof
tho soil on the banks, and that toft toned
French word has now an ugly gutteral sound,
tho Kngli-ih pronunciation making it unen
viable. The rogues don't all livo there.
Minnie is only eight years old, nud writes a
splendid little letter. She ought to be a hap
py Iittlo girl to have a "grandfather and grand
mother, too. Those of our dear little friends
who havo not that blessing cannot realize how
good it ii to have so much love and petting.
Minnie is a sweet name to us, and we would
like to know her and would be glad, indeed,
to get some of those- tomatoea and squashes.
Clara is, we guess, an older sister of Miuiiie.
She has written before, and we can see that
she is improving all the time. We imagine
that Clarn has named the baby herself, fur it's
such a nice name, and baby must have fewne
to a good homo where there are twodeairSxl'e
sisters to love and care for it. Clara is old
enough to do fancy work, so as to make pret
ty things for the new house. Industry and
ingenuity will do much towards making a
home attractive. Simple things that do not
cost much money, only time and trouble, will
adorn a home. Ferns and flowers always de
corate a room, giving it a cheerful air. There
are a number of excelent letters on file that
will appear iu time.

At you wat so kind as to publish my other
letter, I will try to write you another. We
are milking six cows and make a good deal of
butter. We have done harvesting this year.
We lost about 100 bushels of oats. Koine of
the farmers have bad bad luck, sowing their
grain owing to the rainy weather. Wo do not
go to school now, for there is none to got).
It will begin before long. I have three broth
ers and fire sitter the youngest is the pret
tiest little baby you ever taw. She it four
mouths old. Her name is Emma Mabel Estel-
la. I havo been reading J. S. Jeffcris' letter.
Ho writes a real, nice, interesting letter. We
hope ho will writo again. Graco tells of her
now house. Wo havo one also. Wc had it
built this .Summer. Wo like it so much; it is
so uico and handy. I should think Chester
would have gay times, packing checso on that
long-cared donkey. I must close; as you will
get so tired of reading this, you will never
want mo to writo again.

Oliver Dale, writo again; I liked your letter,
and hopo you will appreciate mine; as in your

I have a dog and a cat and a little chicken;

By request of a friend and subscriber of
your paper, I undertake to writo a letter for
publication, which I hopo will meet with
your approval. I reeido in Siuslaw Valley,
through which flows a stream of water by tho
same name. Tho soil is very fertile and produ
ces grain, vegetables and fruit in gient plenty.
Tho oats crop this season was exceedingly
good, and farmers are realizing the enormous
sum of 25 cents per bushel. This is also a
good stock country, and farmers aro waking
up to the fact and stocking their farms as far
as their means will permit. Sheep raising
seems to flourish iu this vicinity, and the wool
produced is of an excellent quality. There is
still considerable unoccupied laud iu this val
ley. There has quito a number of familier
located here this Summer and all seem well
pleased with their new home. Society hero
is the same as will he found iu any backwoods
locality; there is preaching three .Sablmtha iu
the week, Blue Ribbon Club ouvo a month,
Good Templar Lodge twice a mouth and Sun
day School every Sunday. Schotl is now be

and is progressing finely.

Getting Up In tho Morning.
Tho way to get up in tho morning is just to
do it promptly. The moment you are called,
dtculo at once to use. Do not wait until
mothei's gentlo voice is tired, aud Si3ter Lucy
has determined that she will not call you
again, and father comes to tho foot of tho
stairs and calls very seriously: "William!
Ebcnczerl Rebecca!" and you feel that you
must rise in a hurry. Do not put off getting
up until you can hardly tako timo to match
buttons and hooks, and you cannot find which
string belongs to each other, and suspenders
snap, and buttons fly off boots, and things are
generally crooked. When you rise first, let
your thoughts go to God in thankfulness that
you are alivo and well, and ready to begin an
other day. Then wash from head to foot with
a sponge and cold water, and dry yourself
with a rough crash towel, or take a rub with a
Stiff flesh brush. You will feci quito warm and
glowing after this exercise, which is tho better
for being rapidly performed. Dress so neatly
and entirely, to the last touch of shoo polish
aud the last flourish of tho hair brush, that
you need think no mOie about your dress all
day. Bo sure to attend to your teeth. They
aro good servants, and havo so much work to
do that they deserve to bo carefully looked
after, not with irritating powders, but with a
clean brush, puro water, and occasionally a
dash of white castile soap.
Machinery.
Machinery has aided to develop tho rich,
natural resources of this new country, aud
added largely to the measure of its realized
wealth. It has doubled ami quadmplcd the
producing capacity of our industries without
enhancing their labor or cost. It has practi
cally annihilated timo and space, thoso draw
backs of commcrciil intercourse; brought na
tions close together for an interchange of pro
ducts which aro geographically as wido apart
as the antipodes; condensed the business and
traffic which formerly occupied months and
years into days anil weeks; harmonized inter
ests and policies which were once diveisu and
hostile; substituted poaco for war by making
friends and neighbors of those who were
strangers or enemies, and brought into rela
tionship of ono family tho whole human race.
Tho discovery of the steam engine was, of
courso, tho great test and most far-reaching
in its results, of any of thoso inventions which
have substituted machine work for manual
labor. The enormous power thus generated,
and applied to the simple process of turning
n crank, hai set iu motion hundreds and thou
sands of otlicr machines, whoso oflico is to do
mnro cheaply and expeditiously, as well as
more skillfully in many cases, tho work which
human hands was formerly wont to slowly
and painfully accomplish, Thus havo the
Utopian dreams of the enthusiasts of past gun
eiations been realized, the best results of sci
entific investigation and discovery reduced to
practice, a now realm of nrt created aud
opened up to tho workingiuan as well as thu
scholar, and commodities, which from their
high cost and difficult manufacture wcro onco
conBiucred articles of luxury and curiosity,
now placed within tho reach of all.
By cheapening and facilitating thu various
processes of production, tho uso of machinery
has vastly stiumunl.itcd tho consumption of
both tho necessaries and comforts of life. At
t'10 saino time, this increased consumption
has reacted upon production, enlarging the
sphere of all branches of industry, and crea
ting now and higher fields fur tho employment
of skilled labor. Iu these nuw fields tho work
ingiuan has found full compensation for thoso
from which ho has been driven by tho tireless
muscles of steel, aud the nimble perpetually
moving fingers of wood, brass or iron. Amer

Forty-six years ago, David Lewis, then a
handsome round-headed Wclchman, was driv
ing from Utica.Oiicidacounty, to Hamilton Col
lege, having a load of lads returning to their
studies, after a spring vacation. As ho near
id Middle settlement attention was called to
a farmer maltreating a colt which could not
and would not keep up in his work with an
older horse harnessed besido it. David dis
pleased at tho unrcaonablo farmer, mur
mured "Tu ralural," (but did not swear)
and stopped for tho farmer to como near tho
roadside, and tho two commenced talking iu
Welsh. Wo collcga hoys had no iVulsh
professor, and wcro ignorant of tho language.
The tongues of David aud his countryman
had a short spat. As wo started on our way,
I asked a translation of thu Welsh dialogue.
Says David : "Tho man asked mo to tell him
how to break his colt and I told him to go in
the house and break himtclf,"
No man can master a horse properly who
cannot control himself. There it no inistcry
iu education. Tho whole method is accord
ing to law. Rewards and punishments under
lie just government. JScware 01 an improper
punishment of a colt, as you would of a hu
man being ; tor you must command respect if
you would educcato cither. Nor trifle nor
deceive. When you must draw the whip to
compel attention, remember to reward obedi
ence with sugar, or somo pleasing gift. First
make your colt your friend, and then ojuoato
without impatience or severity. Condescend
to talk to your horse and ba clear in your
language, for he can hear and is glad to be in
tclligenly directed. "Goon I steady I Whoa!"
are three magic words which should bo used
to start, to moderate, or to stop the move
ments of a colt. Repeat them clearly, at you
have occasion to use them, for just hat they
mau ; aud the colt will soon obey them, and
