AMOHQ THE THOUSAND ISLANDS.
The misty air like umber seems,
Like melting gold the sky o'crhearl.
Athwart the ivory gate of dreams
Surely our bark is piloted.
For this is the enchanted realm,
Tho fairy-palace reared by sleep;
Through emerald chambers glides our helm,
And in our wake flame-opals leap.
I need but lift my heavy eyes
To South or North, to East or West,
To see, as at my bidding, rise
A wave-charmed island's tufted crest.
Here a tall headland draped with fern, '
Pine-crowned and honey-combed with caves;
There, just above the river's mn,
A low soft nest of grasses waves.
Now narrowing cliffs inclose our prow,
Fantastic rocks streaked blue and rose;
The channel eddies swift, and now
Broad as the sea the river flows.
Thrilled by the water's long embrace,
The slender silver reeds are stirred,
And swi.y with slow, voluptuous grace,
Like dancers to a waltz unheard.
There where the crystal floor scarco shines,
So thick the velvet leaves unfold,
Superb tho lily-queen reclines,
A miracle of snow aud cold.
Here is Miranda's island look!
'Twixt tree and cloud still Ariel flies,
Behind the hill, beyond the brook,
The whelp of Sycorax yet lies.
But duke and princes, clown and seer,
. Have voyaged forth to other seas,
And fathom deep, since many a vcar,
Are buried book and wand and keys.
No ribboned grass is floating there,
Along our smooth, pearl-paven path,
But hidden faces' pale green hair
Of nymphs and nereids at the bath.
On 1 we shall find in sober sooth,
From some clear well-head bubbling up,
The fountain of eternal youth
To brim tho thirsty pUgrim's cup.
Enchanted world 1 enchanted hour 1
Hail and farewell, enchanted stream,
That liast the unimagined power
To make the real surpass the dream t
Emma Lazartti, in December Century.
CHRISTMAS GIFTS,
For Big Folks and Little Folks.
Especially the little folks, for the big folks
can look out for themselves. If you have not
already held a private consultation with Santa
Claus, we advise you to set about it without
delay, for Christmas is coming. If you have
any doubts about the matter just take a peep
into the shops where the counters are piled
high with suitable articles for holiday gifts,
and you will be convinced that Santa Claus is
making active preparations for the merry
Christmas time. We hadn't thought much
about tho approach of Christmas until the
other day, when a bright-eyed littlo damsel
said : -
"Mamma; hadn't you better write to Santa
Claus and tell him that we want some Christ
mas presents ? Ho has so many little girls to
think of that he might forget us."
You may be sure that the little ones have
found out that it is almost time for the annual
visit of Santa Claus, and if you still remember
the disappointment of your chilihood, you
will see that he does not forget them.
We are well aware that in many farmers'
families one dollar is often obliged to do the
work of three, and for that reason tho bulk ot
holiday gifts must consist of useful articles;
but stretch that dollar a little more aud smug
gle in some bit of beauty aud brightness for
the children, a book or toy, something to gild
the edge of tho useful articles. We well re
member that in the days of our childhood
Santa Claus'.contributions to our particular
stocking generally consisted of strictly useful
articles, things that we had to have anyhow.
We always cherished a secret hope that some
time Santa Claus would put a real wax doll in
our stocking; but he never did, and wo have
always held a grudge against the old fellow
till the other day when we stood before the
doll counter in a great city store; then we al
most forgave him. Such a wonderful array of
of dolls I enough for every little girl in the
land. Big dolls, little dolls, dolls of all sizes;
wax dolls, indestructible dolls, china dolls,
rubber dolls, rag dolls, and paper dolls; dolls
with real hair, and dolls without hair; dolls
that would cry. and dolls with tnrning heads
and moving eyes, dolls dressed in the height
of Parisian fashion, and dolls without a rag to
their backs; dolls that cost all the way from
ten cents up to ten dollars; so you see that
there is no reason why every little girl in our
land, rich or poor, should not have a dolly to
dress and kiss, coo aud cry over.
Doll are always suitable presents for little
girls; no matter how many dolls a little girl
may havo she always wants "just one more."
You can hardly go amiss in selecting a doll;
from the dainty French doll down to the
home-made rag doll, they are dear to the heart
of childhood every one. But still if you will
listen to tho "voice of reason" you will not in
vest in china dolls; the heads, legs and arms
have a way of breaking that is quite exasper
ating to the average child-mother of dolls.
The patent indestructible dolls with wooden
legs and arms are very durable; they will
stand almost any kind of treatment and come
out all right. For the little ones whose chief
aim in life seems to be to get something in
their mouths, we would recommend the rub
ber dolls, which come in all sizes, and at pri
ces ranging from twenty-five cents up to one
dollar and a half.
If your daughter already is the mother of
numerous family of dolls, and is old enough
to learn to sew, get a full set of doll patterns,
which cost but fire cents, and with a little
help, she will learn to cut and make every
garment properly. A little girl will learn to
aew much faster when fashioning dainty gar
ment for ber dollies, than wheu laboring up
the apparently endlea seams of sheets and
pillow cases.
Among the other numerous articles designed
especially for little girls, we notice toy wash
sets, consisting of tub, pail, washboard, wrin
ger and clothes-horse; kitchen sets containing
from ten to forty pieces of tin ware; toy
stoves completely furnished with cooking uten
sils; toy furnituro sots, and toy tea sets of
china painted in colors. All of these articles
were reasonable enough in price to como within
the reach of ordinary pocket-books.
For the girls who are out-growing dolls and
doll playthings thero are paint boxes, each box
containing colors, cups for mixing, and brush
es; beautiful littlo writing desks; glove boxes,
handkerchief boxes, and neat little work
boxes completely furnished. Any one of these
articles would be useful as well as ornamental.
But bless me I I must not forget the little
boys. There is such a bewildering array of
articles suitable for boys that I really don't
know where to begin. Thero are the balls,
tops, kites, trumpets, drains, toy reins, toy
guns, whistling locomotives, toy military
equipments, toy tool chests, boats, all kinds
of animal toys, box tojs, building blocks, hot
air toys and magnetic toys, all of which are
suitable presents for tho littlo chaps. For tho
older boys thero aro printing presses, magic
lanterns, fret saws, and the youth's tool chests.
Especially do we recommend these articles for
tho older boys; provido such things and very
likely you will have no trouble in keeping
"that boy at home" evenings.
Then there aro tho parlor games which are
suitable for presents for either boys or girls;
parlor croquet, parlor quoits, parlor sets of
nine-pins, puzzles, checker aud back-gammon
boards, bagatelle boards, and many other
games, any of which will help to make the
long Winter evenings pass pleasantly for both
young and old.
Well, well, this is so long that 1 cannot say
a word about holiday gifts for the big folks
after all. Fanny: Fiklu.
A Chapter on Pickles.
A very good recipe for a plain, sweet pickle
is this: To every quart of good cuter vino
gar and nothing except good vingar should
ever be used add two heaping teaspoonfuls
of white or best brown sugar, with two level
tablespoonfuls of ground cinnamon and one of
cloves. Tie the spices up loosely in a thin
piece of muslin and put them along With the
sugar into tho vinegar and heat all together.
Add some of tho fruit and cook till tender,
then remove to a fruit jar; add more ot ttie
fruit and so contiuuo till all has been cooked
and removed to the jar, then turn the boiling
vinegar over. Alter three ttays, turn on tne
vinegar and boil it for half or three-quarters
n( nn hour, turn aszain over the fruit, then tie
a cloth over tho top and set away in a dry,
cool place, lucre muse always do vinegar
enough to fully cover the fruit.
Cauliflowers and sweet opplcs also make
delicate and wholesome pickles. The cauli
flower should have the leaves stripped off aud
tho heads broken in pieces, steamed till par
tinllv tender aud theu served as above. Sweet
apples, unless a very tender kind and mellow,
slioulu also no steameu a low uiuuiuma ueiuiu
putting into the vinegar. For tho latter a
vinegar that is moro sour is preferable. About
nnn eofl'cecunful ot suear to every quart of
vinegar will be found to make a very delicate
an excelUut pickle if properly and carefully
put up, but quite worthless otherwise. They
are moro difficult to keep than most other
fruits, but in country households, where cider
vinegar is abundant and cheap, this difficulty
is easily obviated. Gather large, well grown
tomatoes that have turned white, but none
that are beginning to soften or turn red; slice
through tho middle and put into a weak
brine. Let them lio in this over night ; then
take out, rinse in cold water, .and steam a few
moments; then put into clear, cold vinegar,
and cook till tender; or till a straw will pierce
them easily ; then drain and put into a pickle
jar. Throw out the' vinegar in which the
tomatoes have been cooked; take enough fresh
to cover them ; add sugar and spices about as
for peaches and pears ; boil and turn hot over
the fruit. Pickled iu this way tomatoes will
keep for any length of time desired.
Uipe cucumbers make a very good, sweet
pickle also. They must be pared, cut in quar
ters and the inside scraped out, then treated
much the same as tomatoes. To make green
cucumber pickles, cut not break the cu
cumbers from the vines; wash them carefully,
and put into a jar; pour boiling water over
them for three or four days in succession;
then put into tho jar in which they are to be
kept, and pour boiling vinegar over them. Let
them stand for a week, theu turn off the old
vinegar arid add new, boiling hot. Cover with
horseradish leaves, and if the vinegar be good
they will keep for a year. Or they may be
laid down in salt ; then when wanted for the
table freshened with boiling water turned over
them several successive davs; then put into
cold vinegar with a very littlo sugar, and in a
couple of days they will do reauy lor me
table.
The following is a mixed pickle or piccalilli,
of which many aro very fond : Chop one peck
of green tomatoes, and one pint of salt, cover
with water, and let stand twenty-four hours.
Squeeze out this juice, put in fresh water and
drain otf. Chop one linn head of cabbage,
then chop all together fine. Put into a kettle,
cover with equalquantities of water and vine
gar, bring to boiling heat, and drain olT. Add
the skins of ten peppers, one tablespoonful of
cloves, oue of allspice, half p pint of mustard
seed, 6ix onione, one pint of molasses anil half
a pint of grated horseradish. Put into a jar
and cover with cold fitiegar.
The Seventh Comet of tne Year.
Director Swift, of tho Warner Astronomi
cal Observatory, Rochester, N. Y., at II
n'clnck p. m. of the 16th inst., discovered a
faint, round, tailless comet in the constella
tion Cassiopoia, which has a right ascension of
1 hour 50 minutes, and a declination north of
71 deg., with a motion slowly westward,
This is the seventh comet which has been dis
covered since the 1st of May last, four of
which, meeting the conditions of the fund,
have received the Warner prize of ?200, Prof
Swift procuring the first and last award. In
asmuch as the comet of 1812 is expected in
the nuarter in whUh this one appeared. Prof.
Swift is not sure at present that the stranger
may not be the familiar comet wbicn was dis
covered by Pons. In 1878 Director Swift, at
Denver, claimed to have Uncovered an intra
Mercurial planet. In May, 1832, be will visit
Ki-vnt. under the munificent provision of Mr.
Ji. 11. Warner, to observe the total eclipse, at
which time be hopes to verify his intra Mer
curial planet discovery. Mr. II. H. Warner's
irecuroua patronage of science has given astro
nomical study a wonderful impulse during the
past twelve montns, and the country; nu to
be congratulated on having so broad minded a
man so "substantially" devoted to the up
building of her intellectual as well as physical
inteieats.

THE LITTLE RED HEN.
Once a Mouse, a Frog and a little Red Hen
Together kept a house;
The frog was tho 'azicit of frogs,
And lazier still was the Mouse.
The work fell on tho little Red Hen,
Who had to get the wood
And build tho hrcj and scrub and cook,
And sometimes hunt tho food.
One clay as she went scratching around
She found a bag of rye;
Said she, "Now who will make some bread?"
Said the lazy Mouse, "Not 1 1"
"Nor I!" croaked tho Frog as ho dozed in tho
shade.
Red Hen made no reply,
But flew around with bowl and spoon,
And mixed and stirred tho rye.
"Who'll mako a fire to bake the bread ?"
Said tho Mouse again, "Not 1 1"
Scarce opening his sleepy eyes
Frog made the same reply.
Tho little Red Hen said never a word.
But a roaring tiro she made;
And, while the bread was baking brown,
"Who'll set tho table J" sho said.
"Not II" said tho sleepy Frog, with a yawn,
"Nor 1 1" said the Mouse again.
So the table was sat, and tho bread put on
"Who'll eat this bread?" said the Hen.
"I will I" cried the Frog. "And II" squeaked
the Mouse,
As they near the table drew.
"Not much you won't!" said the littlo Red
Hen,
And away with tho loaf she flew.
OTO LETTER BOX.
We must apologize to Leonard this week
for his letter not appearing sooner, but it got
slipped out of sight for a while, and kept out
of the way till we happened to find it while
cleaning up correspondence for tho year.
The new year is soon coming, and it is well
to bcgin-rall of us to think if thero is not
something left undone that should bo attended
to belonging to the old year, so that the new
year can be commenced with a clear record;
and especially is this a good idea in the way of
letters, which have not been important and so
left lying unanswered. Now is the time to
finish up these matters.
As to learning trades, every chi'd has a tal
ent for some one particular thing, and if when
that child grows up and cannot judge what
occupation would suit, then the parents ought
to be ablo to judge, for a mother generally
will watch and observe in what direction tho
mind of tho child turns. Many a good farmer
or mechanic has been lost to the world because
the fond parents thought he must havo a pro
fession, and so many professional and artistic
minds have been buried ill obscurity, because
there has been no opportunity for develop
ment. Isaac Watt was one of nine children,
and was thought by his teachers to bo rather
difident, aud his parents felt him to be the
d.URe&fltJh? amiJyi,anl J' of tnso ninochil-
uivu iHiiu wito buu uuij uitu nuunu iiuuie uua
been preserved in history as tho writer of tho
most beautiful hymns; so tho judgments of
parents are at fault sometimes. Some boys
like to handle machinery, and soon show that
taste. In these days of invention and ma
chinery the working of metals is always a good
business, nud commands good wages. Just
look at the map of the United States and no
tice how it is cut up with railroads, and think
of the immense number of men that must be
employed in the management, and it would
seem as if there would be a never ending call
for engineers, and at good wages, too. Now
and then there is a boy who loves to study
animals and their ways; such should become
naturalists and should have a chance to de
velop that talent. Leonard Bhould know what
ho likes to do best, and whatever it is, he will
succeed in.
Nora is oae of tho littlo helpers doing all
she can towards the housework, but finds
time to answer the questions, too.
Mollie does her part towards making this
column interesting, and alio must write again
if she likes the paper so well.
Ida writes a very good hand for n littlo girl,
and shows that she has improved in her writ
ing lessons, besides spelling correctly. She is
a lucky little girl to have invested her money
so well in the stock business; she will be able
to look out for herself one of these days ami
be an independent woman, if she keeps in the
right way.
Mary Jane must be a stirring sort of a girl,
and if her lather keeps the poor, she will havo
many chances to show kindness to the unfor
tunate, while doing her duty at tho samo time
in helping with the work necessary in such an
establishment. To be sure, it is often the
case that peoplo come to bo cared for by char
ity by their own habits, and often it seems as
if it was from no fault of their own. It must
be a very humiliating and uwful life, and we
who aro fortunate must try and make these
lives as comfortable as we can; a kind word
or a kind act need not cost anything, and yet
it might send a ray of comfort into some poor
soul who feels as if there was nothing to live
for.
Mary is another little blessing and helper to
a mother, and writes a very neat litlle letter.
Clarinda has a cow and thre? sheep, which
are pets worth something, and will soon give
her something to do to care for them if she has
to pay for what they eat.
Effie writes a long letter, which all will en
joy, and sho has commenced a scrap book, too,
which pleases Aunt Hetty, for she knows it
will be such a pleasure to Effie as long as she
lives, to look it over and read it. Be sure
and put some pictures in it to enliven it.
Katie T. has also commenced a scrap book,
and has a quilt on baud, for which we will be
glad to send nemo piece, and when the rail
road is finished, will come and help quilt it;
son.e one mutt tell her how.

aud three brothers. I am 1 1 years old. I like
to write to tho Farmer. I live about two
miles from La Grande, and about a quarter of
a mile from tho school-house. Pa has been
taking tho Farmer for somo time, and that is

Editor Home Circle :
It has been such a longtime sinco I wrote
to tho Willamette Farmer, that I thought
I would try again. I am going to school at
present; we have quite an interesting school;
thero arc about thirty -si t scholars; school is
being taught by Mr. Statcn. I am studying
tho Fourth Reader, Normal Written Arith
metic, Third Geography, spelling and writing.
I think tho littlo boys and girls keep up a
splendid Letter Box; so many nice letters. I
haTcn't any pets except a pretty littlo pony;
he is blaok; I tako lots of nice rides. We havo
had preaching at our school house every night
in tho week (for two weeks), and singing
school every Sunday. Singing school is taught
by Mr. Docrty. Well, Miss Katio, what is
the roason you don't write again; it has been
such a long time since you last wrote Pa has
a lot of Chinamen at work grubbing for him.
I have started to make me a, scrap book; I
think it is so nice to have a book you cau put
all your scraps in. Girls, how many of you
havo started to read the Biblo through ? I
have, and have got a good way in it. There
isn't any Sunday School this Winter. 1 do
wish there was, I lovo to go to Sunday School
so well. I will tell you what I do to help my
mamma. I wash dishes, make beds, wash and
do all the sewing; my mamma has not made
a dress for me for eight or nine years. I was
13 years old the 8th of bust October. That
dreaded disease, sinall-pox, is around again up
in Eastern Oregon. Many people aro dying
with it." In the Farmer dated November 'tif
there was a littlo girl named Daisy Geisen
dorfer wanted a fewquestions answered: Who
was his father's favorite? Joseph was his
favorite, and he wore a coat of many colors,
and his brothers cast him into a pit; tho pit
was empty; there was no water in it; and
they sold Joseph to tho Ishmaclitcsfor twenty
pieces of silver. You will find it in Genesis,
Chapter 37, verse 23. Well, I guess I will
close for this time, for fear this letter will bo
so long and tiresome that you will, not print
it. I will send Aunt Hetty ono of my cards.
Hoping to seo this in print, I remain your
friend, Effie L. Miller.

I am a girl thirteen years old; my father has
a saw mill on this creek; thero aio two dams
and a tunnel through thu hill, and we have
lots of fun going through thero when thero is
not much water in it. One of tho dams was
washed around last Winter and caused a great
deal of work. I am not going to school this
Winter; I am taking writing lessons at home;
1 liko to write very much indeed. At all of
the littlo folks tell about their pets I will tell
about my pets. I have three geese and somo
chickens, and two cows and two calves. I
