WILLAMETTE PARMER: PORTLAND, OREGON, APRIL U, 1882
4jurmif IJftf crator.
Lil's Jolly.
Pi tty Lilian La wney, exquisitely cos turned,
from the silken ostrich plume of her hat to
the tip of her dainty boots, ran lightly down
Jtbe high steps of her heautiful new home.
She had been married a month, and Mas
-Try happy m the darling of an old man, who,
while fortunate enough to surround her with
Jaxury, was also more fortunate to possess the
fitter faith and lore of his young wife.
Major Lawney had never regretted the few
ytars of tried fidelity and experience, which
pjade his breast a haven of rest and peace to
this otherwise lonely girl. It was Lilian, who
grieved that her brief twenty summers might
jMtparate so far their now united lives.
But this brilliant winter day possessed for
hr DO introspectan. She only knew that tier
Juppy heart seemed to be reflected from the
dazzling streets and bright blue sky. Her
Content seemed to mako all the world content
jibout her, until, quickly turning the corner of
t, square, she came suddenly upon a knot of
toys, in the midst of which was a dog, a mis
erable, crouching creature, over which her
heart melted. She stopped,
"What are you doing with that poor dog!"
juked (he, somewhat severely.
The boys had paused, at her sudden appear
MIC upon the scene, with the air of detected
Criminals.
One, revealing that he had a heart in his
breast, finally answered)
"Ned Kollins, he's turned a whole bottlo ot
kerosene over him, and they're going to set it
M firel"
"II that true ?" demanded Lilian of ono of
the older boys.
''He'a my dog, and I'vo a right to do what
I please with him I" returned he, insolently;
jwd be rose up from his crouching position, and
yave the poor dog a kick, which actually
caused Lilian a feeling of physical faintness,
The other boys looked somewhat cowed at
the indignant flash of her beautiful eyes, but
toe bully stood sullen and defiant.
"You don't want the dog, I understand t"
Mid she, at length, addressing him.
"No; I am going to kill himl" answered he,
fern tally.
"He said he'd sell him to me; and now ho
won't," spoke up another of tho boys.
"Will you sell him to me J" asked Lilian,
quickly.
"How much 11 you giver" demanded the
young raliian.
Lilian took out her littlo azure purse, with
it gold rings, and turned the coin into her
band. Only a few pennies and a gold sov
ereign, which latter she had kept for a pocket
pleco lor some, months. Her husband had
stropped it into her purse one day, playfully
proposing that alio should mako some wise in
Teetmentpf it. She turned tho coin in her
palm over regretfully. There was no help for
it.
"I will give you this," said she, taking out
the sovereign.
"You may have him."
Transferring the coin to the boy's hand,
Lilian bent over her new purchase, patting
him and taking tho string, which was tied
bout his neck.
The dog was only a puppy yet, apparently
of a large breed of animal, was of good sijw.
with a shaggy, rusty coat; but Lilian observed
that his head, with its drooping, silky rars,
was really pretty, and intelligence shown in
the appealing brown eyes. Still tho forlorn,
half-starved creature was a ludicrous append
age to the elegant young lady, and as alio roso
up to lead him away tho boys set up a shout
of derisiou. Lilian's checks burned, but she
continued to lead and coax tho animal through
the quiet square to her own door. With a
reath of lelief she at length shut it upon
him. In the vestihulo of tho elegant house the
miserable dog looked more miserable than
Mr by contrast, and Liliau looked at him
thoaglitfully, a faint sinilo of humor relicviog
her excitement and compassion.
At that moment she heard her husband's
step iu tho drawing room,
"Major I" called she, gaily,
"Darling I" was t'lo response.
"I have invested my sovereign. Conio and
seel"
Major Lawney, with his handsome, manly
ace and culling gray hair, appeared iu tho
hall.
With a diamatio air of mock tiiumph, Lili
an pointed to tho dog.
"Why, Lilian, where did ) on get that uu
fortunate mature!" demanded her husband,
in a low tone of utter surjuise.
"Found him with iiuine boys, iho were go
ing to toi tutu him. 1 could not s.ivo him any
other w o I bought him.aiid 1 had only the
sovereign to pay for him with. He isn't cry
ttioo, but 1 pity him sol -and 1 may keep
him, mayu't I, Ouj!"
Major Uuuvy looked ft om tho lou-ly face
to the unUely dog, and tho next moment his
own face broke slowly into smile.
"Yes, you may keep him, and ho shall be
.called Lil's Folly," said he, rather dr) ly.
The uext iustant her arms were aiouud his
cecs, and they were laughing heartily to
getlior. Hut Lil's Folly, fed and washed, brushed
and trested kindly, began to have a respect
able appearance. His shaggy coat became
bWk and glossy. Lil observed that he was
froaiugi and Major Lawney surreptitiously
fed him from his plate at dinner, and pro
nounced him a very rood specimen of the
Newfoundland.
"Not so bad au investment, Lil," he finally
remaiked kindly, when iu the spring Folly
bad reached a remarkable size,
Ld laughed,
"Thsukyoul I can bear considerable ol
that sort 6f thlug, (Tuy; I have been ashamed
of him so lougl"
Folly Was Invested i Ith a handsome new
collar, ami, iu the summer, went down to the
ea ihore with them. They took board at one
of the hotels, Lil had never bcen.in such a
place before. The great restless, level sea, the
stretch ol silent, shifting sky, the panorama of
the gliding sails, were indescribably delight
ful to her. She was constantly out of doors,
running along the ahoro 'and climbing the
rocks like a child. She watched sunrises and
sunsets. She sat in tho yellow sands watch
ing the snowy surf, and lived all tins happi
ness she had ever dreamed.
Her husbind leisurely accompanied her
light foot-steps. If his thoughts were graver
than hers, they were not less pleasant; and
that bonny, golden, glancing head was the
light of his eyes, iiut one day ho had letters
to write when Lil wanted to bo out of doors.
"lie as quick as you can, Ouy, and I wil
run about by myself, with Folly, until you
are ready, when wo will go down to the shal
lows," said she, and was away, tho great New
foundland dog at her side.
Folly was ssgacious, docile, and very obe
dient. Along the shore he was allowed to ac
company them; but at tnc village, wliere
Major Lawney received his mail twico a
week, he was found an embarrassment a cer
tain belligerent mastilf making war upon him;
and though Folly, Vbcinit in," bore himself
bravely, he was the gicatest sufferer in those
encounters, by reason of his shaggy coat,
which gave tho mastifl so undetachable ahold
upon him,
Lil also had occasional errands at the vil
lage. If Folly followed unpeiceivcd and was
sent back, he always obeyed, not only turning
back at tho command, "Home, sir home I"
but returning to tho pi.i7zaof tho hotel, where
he lay down and patiently bided his time.
But this morning hu was free to follow his
young mistress. Ho bounded at her side, his
head erect, his great tail moving like a ban
ner, apparently as happy as slio was.
Lil took a new direction this morning, and,
being out of sight of the hotel, ran out upon a
promontory that reached far into the restless
water. There she sat down to rest, but soon
busied herself picking up some beautiful pink
sea shells.
When an hour had passed in this way hes
turned to retrace her steps, but paused in
amazement. She was upon a small island.
The sea had advanced, crossed the neck at its
lowest point, and cut her off from the. main
land. And, to her horror, she saw that it was
till advancing, and lessening the little island
upon which she nnd tho dog stood.
After a moment bIib climbed upon the high
est rock and watched it. Yes; the tide was
coming in rapidly, and swiftly and surely sur
rounding the island. She had reason to believe
that it would soon bo submerged. Folly, too,
seemed to scont danger. He ran back and
forth, uneasily, snilling the air.
Lil sank down on tho rock and tried to
think. She was about a mile from the' hotel.
and out of sight of it. Her husband would
apprehend no troublo, and, when he should
havo finished his letters, would take a cigar
and await her return. No one was on tho
shore and no boats iu sight. If tho Water
should submerge tho rocks upon which she
sat, there was no prospect but that she would
be drowned,
I cannot tell you how long the poor girl sat
there watching tho ciuwliug wutcr trying to
bo brave trying not to think how happy she
had been how her husband would bo stricken
by her death for bIio i.over know herself.
Hut she rose at last, making a desperate ef
fort for life. She dctei mined to send the dog
ashore with a message to her husband.
Teailug a blank page from a letter in her
pocket, she wrote a fow urgent words upon it,
with a littlo gold pencil that huug from her
watch guard, and then tried to fasten tho note
to Folly's collar, but tho panerwas too perish
able to trust to the water. The salt drops, al
ready dripping from his stiabby coat, instant
ly soaked it and made it worthless, and shu
broke out into a bitter ciy. The next instant
shu suatelud tho pretty straw hat from her
head and tied it sccmcly by its cardinal rib
bons to Folly's neck.
Ho looked into her face, whined, and
crouched at her feet. Was ho troubled for her
or himself?
"Go homo home, sir I" said she.
For tho first time Folly did not obey. Ho
alternately crouched before her, and sprung
upon her breast, w ageing his tall. Shu caught
hold of his collar and led him to the water's
edge,
"Ho home, Folly I- home I homo I"
With a ilesiierato howl tho dog sprung into
tho water.
He swam away and left Lil alone. The wa
ter eue'licled her I thill a few yards. She was
cciUiu now that it would rne about tho rocks
upon which shu sat. In spite of herself she
was crying miserably -whispenng her hus
band's name trying, poor child, to say her
pin) en to say, humbly, "Thy will, not
mine, bo done." Hut it was hard, while the
duel, ciauug, cold waves came up, tip, up,
and there was uu sound but their clashing
voice's. Shu was nut ill, either. llerheait
beat so wildly in her )ouug lueastl the led
blood burned so hot about her throbbing tem
ples I and tho sweet lips that trembled were
yet thrilled lij kisses,
"It will be too lute ! too late I"
Folly might go directly to the hotel and dis
play tho divuched hat; and then, again, for
once, ho might bio away to sulk his own
pleasure, and the hat bo torn from his neck
ami never found in time to tell the story.
Already the water was creeping around her
feet already she sat on a level with the toss
ing wavea. Ten minutes more, aud
"LillLillUII"
A call her name!
8ho sprung up tore off her duster of pale
linen and waved it aloft to guide the coming
boat. She could hear tho oars; and at last
at last she saw the little dory leaving the
wa es. There w as her husband and another
strviix oarsman, and Folly stood in the stern.
She utterly lost control of herself theu, and
wept wildly, until her husband's arms took
her iuto tho. boat; and then, sobbing iuto
Otliunets ou his Snees, as they row eel away
from tho dreadful spot, Lil prayed.
When he could talk and she could listen,
Major Lawney told her how Folly had come
ashore.
"Ho came bounding into the chamber with
tho hat in his mouth, evidently wanting to at
tract my attention to it. I was etill busy
writing, and half-abscntly ordered him out.
He would not go but sprung around me,
whining until, glancing at my watch, and
seeing how late it was, with no sounds of your
arrival, 1 looked at him more, closely, and saw
that he waa very wet. On trying to take the
hat from him, I observed that it waa attached
to his neck, and that it was the one you had
worn away. The truth then rushed over me;
but never was there a more miserable man, for
I did not know which way to go. I feared
that you were drowned. I rushed down to the
shore, called to our landlord's sou, and pushed
off tho dory. I begged him to come with me.
Folly, too, jumped in ; and when we began to
row he showed every sign of dissatisfaction
until we turned the boat. Every time I called,
he barked until, d.car child, we came in sight
of you and then I could hardly keep him in
the boat so anxious was he to reach )ou.
Hut for his help, sweetheart, death would
have separated us. No money shall ever buy

'At WAYS WIN AT CARDS.'
Tho following excellent little story was sent
in to the Farmer by Efiie Miller, one of our
bright young contributors. We do not quite
understand whether she composed it herself,
or whether she thought it would have an in
structive moral that would be suitable for the
Circle, and sent it on. If she wire the author
of tho piece we would like to give her credit
for it, and we hope she will let us know if
she is :
"Have you any particular antipathy against
cards!" asked a merry girl of a silver-haired
woman, whose face was not yet old. "Yes, I
have," waa the' slow answer. "Then you
don't like to see us play." "I didn't say
that," said the elder 'woman, with a
sweet smile. "Hut you think it's wicked to
play cards? "Neither can I say that, as you
play," she replied. " Please finish your came,
and then, pealiaps, I miy tell you my reasons
for disliking cards."
Two young gentlemen and two young ladies
formed the party. Tho former were society
men, with characters forming day by day, for
they wero quite youthful yet. The one with
black hair aud black eyes played quietly, if
not languidly. The other, with blue eyes and
hair of a golden bronze, showed interest and
excitement in the game. It was enrious to
listen to the comments of these four friends
their accusations, their eagerness to win, the
chagriu of losing, the almost impertinence
when some wrong card had been called or
dealt. To ono person there it w as painful.
She sat quietly, her eyes fixed upon the young
man with the flushed cheeks and shining blue
c)cs, reading the earnestness, the excitement,
the passion of his soul as the game advanced.
At lost the triumph was his; he exultantly
announced it, with the added words : "I
always win at cards." "I knew somebody
else who alwayB won at cards," said Mrs.
Allen, iu a low voice. "Come, Mrs. Allen,"
safd one of the merry girls, "you said you
would tell us why you disliked cards. We are
just in tho mWM to listen, for I have been
badly beaten, and I don't liWb to be beaten."
"I think,1' said Mrs. Allen, "that I knew
somebody who boasted that ho always won at
cards. Ho was very much like you," she
added, turning to Frank; "I saw the likeness
when 1 first met you. I have no hesitation in
saying that many ye..rs ago this young man
was ono of the most promising and hand
somest persuns in tho city wheio ho lived.
Sought by everybody on account of his wit
and vivacity lite was a very pleasant thing to
him. Hut he w as passionately fond of cards,
aud bocamo awareof thofact that hu invariably
won. He was always ready to make up a
game at home aud abroad. 1 don't know how
the fact first leaked out, but it was whispered
among his, acquaintances that he played for
money. This, of course, reached his mother's
ear latest of all, aud bIio would not believe it.
She watched her boy with trembling eager
ness. He bought a horse; he h. d always fine
clothes, and his appearance was that of a
restless, dissatisfied man. By decrees the
open countenance grow clouded. He would
listen to no advice; hu becamo moody and
miserable. Eery night the troubled mother
sat up until he came home, but his hours be
ciine more an 1 more irregular. His business
was at Kugth neglected. His luck turned;
he giuw haggat d and moody. What was to
bo done ? Nothing. Ho was we'dded to his
idol. Not only did ho play, but he drank; not
only did ho dunk, but pledged things not his
own, in the indulgence ol Ins passion. Finally,
he forge-d tho name of his emplo) er, fought in
a drunken alhay, was brought homo uiseusi
ble, and for iwu weeks raved iu delirium. No
one can know what the torture ot a mother is.
win u a ton disgraces her befure tho u oriel,
and this hu had done. Hut r peuteuco cuine.
He promised never again to touch a card;
grew into his original beauty; lifted the hopes
of all w ho loved him; was engaged to a lovely
girl, and by her tempted to play only a social
game; to drink only a social glass; and the
consequence was be was rmued. The lovo of
gaming and drink rushed kick upon him like
a torrent ef miquity. Again he playtd for
money; again ho was brought home drunk;
again he committed a crime, aud this time his
rum was complete. One night he rushed home
like a crary man. His mother tried iu vain to
calm him. Mie w as alone, aud he, stuug to
insanity, raved and tore his hair and cursed
her." A shudder went over tho littlo com
pany, "Yes, he cursed her because she had
allowed him in the da) s of hit innocence to
touch cards, because with her own bauds she
had taught him to play," "I could never do
that" said tho young man with blue eyes.
"So would he have said at your age. A more
affectionate sou necr lived. That uittht, after
he had been partially soothed, andhad gone
to his room, a pistol shot was heard. Merci
fully tho mother fainted; mercifully she was
spared the sight that others saw," "Did he
kill himself, then?" "Instantly. When 1
recovered from a long illness" "What I
was he" "My only son." There was a
tremor in her voice as she added, "When I
recovered I had no child. Not yet 40, my
hair was as white as you see it now. Do you
wonder that I hate cards!" "Oh, but how
could you tit and sco ns play ?" "Hecauso I
wanted to warn you; because there are some
temperaments to which success is more bale
ful than defeat; because one of )OU put me
strongly in mind of my blue-eyed boy." Her
eves fell upon Frank ,L . He was as pale as
death. Later hew cnt up to.her and thanked
her. "It was growing upon me, the passion
of play," he said; "I felt it; but with God's
help I will never touch a card again."

Fruit Cannery.
From the Walla Walla Union.
In all the country north of the Sacramento
valley there is no region so well adapted to
fruit growing as the Walla Walla valley.
Peaches, occasionally, are made scarce by
early frosts iu the fall or late ones in the
spring. All other fruits, notably apples,
pears, plums, cherries, and the various ber
ries, attain a degree of perfection seldom ex
celled in any country. The wheat growing,
mineral-yielding and cuttle-producing regions
of Montana, Dakota aud Minnesota regions,
where rigorous winters prevent the growing
of all except the hardiest fruits, must draw
their frait supplies from the Walla Walla
valley. Owners of land in Walla Walla valley
can not do better than to devote some of their
acres to fruit growing. While the trade in
fruit fresh from the trees will inevitably bo
greatly increased by the extension of the
Northern Pacific into Montana, the trade in
canned fruit will grow as the country fills up
with settlers, l'hero is no good reason why a
ton of canned fruit should be brought to this
market. Nor, to our mind, can a more profit
able investment be made in the city of Walla
Walla than the establishment of a first-class
fruit cannery. In n recent issue the San Jose
Mercury thus discoursed on this subject :
"The sincerity and persistency with which
tho people of Los Uatos are just now pushing
the project of establishing a large fruit can
nery at that place, is suggestive of the ideas
which are gaining grouud in this county.
People are apparently awakening to the ur-
gent need of fostering and patronizing such
home industries as we have, and of creating
and establishing new ones as last as possible.
True, the canning of fruit might not prop
erly come under the head of manufacturing,
yet if a dozen or twenty extensive establis!
ments of the kind were a part of this city,
the effect would be the same ; iron foundnes
and spindles would bring no greater wealth
or business activity than would this quiet,
cleanly, healthy and most desirable industry,
ludeed, it is doubtful if at the present time
any investment could be more safely entered
into than the business of fruit canning. And
it is certain that no iudustry would be more
productive of good to this community. The
part which the present canneries in this city
q'uirements. Successful cranberry growing
depcuds upon the selection of these, and the
failures have come through attempting to
grow the crop where some one of the condi
tions was lacking. There are several localities
at Capo Cod, in Massachusetts ; in several
counties in New Jersey, in parts of Minnesota,
and in other States, which seem especially
adapted to cranberry culture, and where
these do not exist it is not worth while to
undertake it. The essentials to the successful
cultivation of the crop, the various obstacles
and drawbacks, as ell as complete instruc
tions for all that relates to the cultivation
are given in "Cranberry Culture," by Joseph
J. White, one of the most complete special
treaties with which we arc acquainted. The
reason for sanding does not seem to be gen
erally understood. When tho natural growth
is cleared from the surface of a muck bed,
the few plants that spring up and interfere
with the growth of the cranberry vines will
be from Bceds that may bo already in the
muck. When the surface is covered with
sand, and the cranberry plants are set in it,
they are in condition most favorable to
their growth ; the sand at tho same time
keeps down all other plants, and the cran
berry has a chance to spread and occupy the
whole surface, forming a mat which will keep
down all other growth. Natural cranberry
bogs are often brought into abundant bearing
by simply giving a heavy dressing of sand.

USE HOSE PILLS.
Have taken in tlie development of fruit rais
ing is sutncient evidence ot tins. Orchards
have grown up around San Jose with no other
market in view. Many men of small means
have invested their all in a tew acres of land
and set out fruit trees, well knowing that
they would not be compelled to ship their
fruit to Son Francisco or the East and wait
weeks and probably months for returns, but
that they could hud a ready sale and cash in
hand at the canneries in their own city. Even
now, the truit raised in the Santa Clara val
ley is more than suiheient to supply tho can
neries here, and lruit growers are compelled
to ship largo quantities to the East and San
Francisco, often at a very slieht profit. The
tact is, there should be a Buthcient number of
canneries in this county and city to can all
the truit that it is possible to grow on our
mountain slopes or valley nlains. Let this be
a reality, and the im.at vivid descriptions of
uiu ucuuuca v, HIV oaiien eiara valley would
fall far short of doing justice to the subject.
Enlivened and stimulated bv a home market.
the fruit growing industry would Bpread and
iuciease until it embraces the whole area of
the valley. Surrounding the Garden City,
the orchards would stietcli away to the toot
lulls, clinibiug ttieir suuuy slopes, and 'deck
tho whole lace of the country with spring
bloom and auiumu truit. Besides the beauti
ful Bide of the picture, there is a practical
question involving the matter of profit and
loss, the consideration of w hich cannot fail to
convince all who intelligently investigate,
that 'there's money in it.'"
Cranberry Culture
" M. H. P.," Augusta, Me., asks if muck is
eeseuti.il to success! ul cranberry culture, and
if ordinary " black soil" will not answer as
well. This question, like others of similar
purport, comes to us from several readers
each spring While we have no doubt that
one, it sutlicieut' pains be taken, can raise
cranberries iu a garden bod, upon ordinary
soil, the "sutlicieut pains" would be utterly
impracticable upon a profitable er commercial
scale. While we have known small quanti
ties of the fruit to be raised upon upland, we
have uo knowledge of successful, continuous
culture anywhere outside of a regular cran
berry bog. The requirements may be briefly
stated, and we caunot advise the investment
of capital iu a locality where these are not
present. Iu the first place, there must be a
deposit of muck or peaty toil ; in some local
ities this muck is not more than two feet deep,
underlaid by sand, which may be brought to
the surface by a system of trenching; but
where the muck is six or eight feet deep, sand
must be brought from elsewhere, to cover the
muck, after the native growth has been re
moved to the depth of four to six inches.
Muck and sand are essentials, but these must
be so situated that they can be drained of
staudiug water for 12 or IS inches below the
surface, by nutans of ditches, and more thsn
this, there must be a supply of water.at com
mand, by which the wholo surface of the
cranberry field can be flooded, at once, to
completely cover the plant with water, and
from which the water can be drawn off as
suddenly. It will be seen that there are not
many localities which will meet all these re-

Narrow Escape or tbe Ship and Cargo From
Destruction.
The bark Wanlock, when hauled alongside
the dock at Astoria a few dajs since, was
found to have a fire in her hold. Arrange
ments were made for at once unloading the
cargo. The Anlorlan saysi Work went on
on the M anlock all Wednesday night, and by
Thursday morning all the coke was out. It
was evident that the fire was amidships, and
the vessel was brought up to Flav el's wharf
and the work of hoisting out the coal began.
Crowds visited the vessel, which smoked and
smelled like an Inferno; the men that were at
.work were paid two dollars an hour, and they
earneu tueir money, as ib was suuocaung in
the hold. About 6 o'clock the fire was
reached, a smouldering glow of red coals be
ing visible. Water was turned on from Fla
vel's force pump, when the coal immediately
sprung into great sheets of flame. The alarm
was sounded and the boys were on hand with
the engines at onco ; three streams of water
were soon going and the vessel was flooded
sufficiently to prevent further damage from
fire, at least. The tin plate, which is the
most valuable part of her cargo, will be but
slightly damaged; the coal cau stand the wet
ting without any injury, but the salt will, of
course, be a loss. It is extremely fortunate
that the vessel was in port and able to get the
help of our efficient fire department so prompt

results would have been tearful to contem

The rain storm wh-ch has visited this part
of the county for the last three days has
caused farmers to discontinue their seeding.
The city election on Monday last was hotly
contested by both blue ribbon and citizens,
each side electing part of their ticket.
A number of emigrants arrived from the
east this last week, all looking for places in
