SONQ OF THE PIONEEKB.
Mr. John Minto celebrated the National
Anniversary by writing the Home Circle the
interesting letter wo give below:
Salem, Or., July 4, 18S2.
Mrs. Hahriot V. Clarke Dear Madame:
At the lato Pioneer Ecunion I was drawn by
Mr. Joseph Watt, of Amity, into making an
exhibition as a "singist" at the evening Camp
Fire. Joe sang an old comic piece whic i I
first heard from him the evening of the day
we first saw the buffalo in the valley of the
Platte, July 1S44. We were returning to
camp with tho first supply of buffalo beef, the
result of a shot from Capt. Morrison's lille.
Mr. Watt's mule had broke from him r.ithcr
than carry his proportion of fresh mca, and
he, perforce, had to walk to camp, after be
ing thoroughly soaked by a Platte Vulley
thunder-storm. We whilcd the way to camp
with song and story, and among others Mr.
Watt sang the one alluded to. At the lato
Pioneers' camp firo he resang it under this ar
rangement that "if he would do so I slmuld
sing a song also."
I kept my agreement by singing your bong.
r,l . nroimn Pinneprs. I Sav VOtir SOUP, 00-
cause, I know the composition is your bus-
band's, (and I deem it one of tho best things
he has ever written) I am confident the soul
of it is yours. That it was born in you of
the pioneer spirit and transmitted to hiin by
intimate association,
I sang this song several times lust winter
in Eastern Oregon; once in tho L'rinevillo
church, where it was bo well appreciated that
I yielded to the request for copies, made by
several ladies, and wrote them out in pencil.
I have dono that many times before. My
performance at tho camp fire led to a similar
request for copies. 'Now would you not have
the kindness to republish it from tho original,
in your department of tl e Farmer ! I ask
this under a suspicion that I may not havc.it
exactly correct, as for icveral years I did not
think of it, and when I did, it was lo con
tribute my sharo to a camp fir6 sociable in the
heart of the Cascade Mountains.
People who live in such localities may be
"loud" in their taste where sentiment, sound,
or color are concerned, but they always know
the taste of good poetry. This is a quiet
Fourth of July good for reflection. Hoping
this may revive pleasant memories of your
crossing the plains,
I remain, yours respectfully,
Jons Mim'o.
little more than they arc worth, and some
times mortgago home for the mohogany we
would bring into it? I had rather eat my
dinner off the head of a barrel, or dress after
the fashion of John tho Baptist in tho wilder
ness, or set on a block all my life, than con
sume all myself before I get borne, and take
so much pains with the outside that the in
side was as hollow as an empty nut. Beamy
is a sreat thing, but beauty of garment, house
and furniture is a very tawdry ornament
compared with domestic love. All the ele
gance in the world will not make a home, and
1 would givo more for a spoonful of hearty
love "than for a whole ship load of furniture,
and all the upholsterers of the world could
together.
Whatever literary gift this family has, is
like the tamily purse, common property to all
its members, so .friend Minto cn charge the
poem referred to to either "half." Tho sim
ple ballad, or rather legend, that we repub
lish by request, was thrown off without effort,
almost, composed in a few minutes, aa fast as
a pencil could dash it on to paper, and if it
has any merit 'twas because the writer was
inspired by the memory ot pioneer days and
expressed the admiration he has always felt
for that heroic period of Oregon history. For
the pioneers were indeed heroes. "There
were giants in those days."
I.
Ohl so many years have flown.
Since the news of Oregon
Beached our home beyond the mountains far
away;
Since we harnessed up our teams,
When the Spring-time's sunny gie.viis,
Showed the path across the plains and moun
tains gray.
C1I0RUS,
Tramp, tramp, tramp, the trains came mrch-

Westward, still westward, see them come!
Sometimes savage tribes they fought,
But the starry flag they brought,
While beneath its fold eacli freeman found a
home.
II.
Up the Rocky Mountains' height.
Now their camp-tires blaze by night.
Or upon the savage plains they thickly gleam;
Now the weary legions pass,
Where the frowning canyons mass.
Or they swim and ford the swiftly running
stream.
CHORUS.
Tramp, tramp, tramp, the trains came march
ing;
Westward, still westward, day by day.
Standing guard the live-long night;
Ever ready for the fieht;
Here to plant our flag three thousand miles
away.
hi.
Through the land of savage foes,
See, tho long procession goes.
Till it camps upon the Columbia of tho West;
Where the mountains block the stream.
And the Cascades flash and gleam,
As the sun sinks to its distant ocean rest.
CHORUS.
Tramp, tramp, tramp, the trains came march-

At length the deadly plains are passed;
But there's still the river trail,
Or the Cascade Range rn scale,
Then the fair Willamette homes are reached
at last.

And 'tis well that Pioneers
Should thus meet with passing years,
While the locU that once -ere dark are turn

To recall the olden story
That shall be their children's glory,
How e crossed the plains and mountains
long ago.

And the homei we came to find,

Theodore Parker in speaking of home and
home life says: I never saw a garment too
fine for a man or maid; there never was a
chair too good for a cobbler or a cooper to sit
in; never a house too fine to shelter a human
head. These elements about us. the gorgeous
sky, the imperial sun, are not too good for
the human race. Elegance fits man. But do
CHOICE RECIPES.
Cabbace Salad. Shave n hard white cab
bage into smoll strips; take the yolks of three
well beaten eggs, a cup and a half of good
cider vinegar, two teaspoonf uls of white sugar,
two tcaspoonfuls of thick cream, one teaspoon
ful of mustard mixed in a little boiling water;
salt and pepper to suit the taste; mix all but
the eggs together and let it boil; then stir in
the eggs rapidly; stir tho rabbage into the
mixture, and Btir well.
Cream Puffs. Take throe-quarters of a
pound of flour, a half po-:nd of butter, ten
eggs, ono pint of cold water. Bod water and
butter together, and itir the flour in while
hot; let it cool, and then stir the eggs in, one
at a time, without beating first. Drop a
spoonful at a time on a bakiug-pan, keeping
each one separate, and bake in a hot oven.
To make cream tako one quart of milk, one
coffee-cupful of flour, two cupi of sugar, four
ecus. Boil the milk and stir tho other ingri
dients, and beat all well together; flavor with
lemon or vanilla.
Mending Lace Curtains. Old lace curtains
that have little holes in the netting can be
made to appear whole when they are laun
dered. Take a piece of lace, or very thin
muslin, and when the curtain is starched
starch this piece also and put it over the spot
which needs mending. It ill show very lit
tle if at all, and tho starch will keep it in
place.
Black Lace, when rusty and limp, may be
restored by the following method: With a
gill of rainwater mix a tcaspoonful of borax
and one of alcohol; snueere the lace several
times through this; then rinse in a cup of hot
water iu which a black kid glove hasbeen
boiled; put the lace out carefully till nearly
dry; then press two or three days between
leaves of paper under heavy weight.
Scrambled Eggs. Heat one cup of milk In
a spider with a piece of butter, a little salt
and white pepper; beat five eggs, pour in, set
over a very slow fire, and kerp scraping from
bottom with a spoon until very little remains
thin; then scrape into a dish without delay, as
allowing it to harden with whey spoils it.
Fried Potatoes. Cut a quirt of cold boiled
potatoes into cubes, prepare three tablespoon
fuls chopped onion and of chopped parsley.
Fry the onions till done in three tablespoon
fuls of butter, then add the potatoes, season
with salt and pepper. Stir gently with a
fork so as not to break them. When heated
through, add the parsley and cook two min
utes longer. Serve on a hot dish.
Hints on Ironing. If starch sticks to tho
flat-irons it can be removed in a much better
way than to scrape it off with a knife, as the
particles are almost sure to fall upon the gar
ment you are ironing, and so make trouble;
tie a lump of beeswax in a clean bit of cloth,
and rub the hot iron on this; it will remove
the starch at once. Alwaj3 wash flat-irons
before using them, even when they look clean.
Scalloped Tomatoes. Fill a pudding-dish
with alternate layers of tomatoes and cracker
crumbs. Season the tomatoes with sugar,
pepper and salt, and pot a eood deal of butter
on the crackers. Moisten s'ightly with water,
and bake in covered dish until almost done,
then brown slightly.

THE DISOBEDIENT MICE.
Three young n ice in a farm-house brown
Lived, sighing for the great, big town.
The mother warned of traps and snares,
And pussy cats with bland, fale airs,
And said: "My dears, seek not to roam;
The safest, sweetest place is homo.
They thought: "These arc but foolish Icara,
Uur mother chinnsi grows witn years;
And, stealing from tho farn.-house brown,
One night they scampered off to town.
Ah, what a rare sight met their eyes,
A shop all stored with cakes and piesl
"Hero wo will live," they cried; 'how tine.
On such nice thtugs to sup and dinol"
They slept all day, but woko at night
To feasting, frolic and delight.
Next night a trap was set. "Ah, seel"
Cried tho young mice, in giddy glee,
"That dear, good baker loves us so,
Theso tables arc for us, wo know."
With ne'er a voice to say "Bewarol"
They rushed into the baker's snare;
'lo call for help was a'l in vain,
Their poor, wo necks were rent in twain.
At home the old mouse sits forlorn,
Weeping and wailing night and morn;
"Come Back my truant- three!" she cries;
With salt tears streaming from her eyes;
"From tho world's danger and unrest
Flee to the sheltered, safe home-nest!"
Ah, little ones, who tease and fret,
Think of their fate, and ne'er forget
To yield without frown or tear,
When mamma says: "No. no, my dear!"

OUR LETTER BOX.
The first letter that comes to hand thin
Place a light box in a chair to make it Ugh
enough to sit at the table ami work. Yon
can iron, wash dishes, mix bread, roll out pie
crust, and many other thing with far less
fatigue than standing. Women cannot keep
on their teet very long at a time without in
jury to their health. All women who have
children, whether boys or girls, should teach
them early to aid in the kitchen.
Oil cloth requires careful treatment, ami
should never be scrubbed with a hard bru-h
and soap, but after first being swept with the
long-handled hair brushes that aro mado for
the purpose, it should be carefully washed
with a large, soft cloth, dipped in milk and
water, half and half.
The opinion has generally prevailed that a
little bran mixed with meal would produce
more pork than clear meal, but in some ex
periments lately tried it was found that clear
meal made more pork than a mixture of bran
and meal.
Strawberries are much more prolific when
four or five different varieties are planted to

one, than if but one perfect variety were
planted alone.

We often hear the remark and justly, too
that the McCammon Pianos and Whitney
& Holmes Organs are the best, bnt are high
in price. Being the best, they aro the cheap
est. A poor musical instrument is dear at
any price. McCammon makes every part of
his pianos in his ow n factory and under his
own supervision. There is only one other fo
tory in the United States that does this. A
full line of these celebrated pianos and or-
5 ana can be seen at the lare music store of
. H. Bobbins & Son, together with the largest
and best stock of small musical instruments in
the city. Also, a large stock of pictures, frames
and mouldings of every description. We buy
all goods from the factory. Give us your
orders. It will pay you to go to headquarters.
J. II. Kobblns 4 Soy,
we not vatue these tools of house-keeping a ' No. 229, Pint street, Portland, Or. 1m
week is irom a little girl in the East, who
wants her name on tho temperance roll with
the rest of the Oregon boys and girls; so our
children can see what may be done by the
forco of good example. Everyone of you have
it in your power to do g.iod if you wish, or
you may do a great deal of harm. Any one of
our circle of young folks may think, perhaps,
that what they may do or say is of no
account, but every one, however humble they
may be, has an influence for good or evil;
there is always some one to bo influenced by
your ways and example. The little sister or
brother always looks tip to the older ones, ana
tries to do and act as they see the rest, bo
there is quite a' responsibility on the older
Bister or brother, who must be very careful
how they act or talk. You may think you
are too small to be of influence, but if ycu
pout and say "I shan't," "I don't care," "I
won't" to mother, see how quick little brother
and sister will do the same; while if tho older
ones are kind and polite in their manners, the
little ones follow the example.
Mary D. writes her first letter, and it is a
good one. To bgm with, she helps her
mother, which is the best thing to do. It a
girl really wishes to be useful, there are
always plenty of ways to show her disposi
tion to be a helper. Don't wait for mother to
tell you what to do, but keep your eyes open
and do without being told. It is a great deal
more help to mother if she does not have to
think of every little chore and tell her little
girl what to do.
Nellie, a Kansas girl, gets the Farmer, and
is so much interested in tho letters that she
sends one. Just think how many other boys
and girls enjoy the letters who live thousands
of miles away. This should make every ono
try and see how well they can do when send
ing communications to the Farmer.
Katio S. sends a good letter again. Every
one seems to like to havo her write. Aunt
Hetty is glad to see how much Katie im
proves in her letter writing, both in composi
tion and penmanship.
Now we have only ono letter left in the
box, for, according to our rule, we never
usa the very last of anything, but keep a let
ter for an emergency. But no doubt there
will be plenty more by next week. Harvest
time is at hand, and most of our boys and
girls will be busy helping, cither in the house
or fields. It there is no time to write, our
friends can be thinking of something to write
about when busy times are over. There is so
much that would be interesting to tell about,
if everyone would only observe things around.
The ways and habits of birds and animal' aro
always pleasant to hear about, and there is no
boy or girl who lives in the country who has
not observed at some time or other tho pecu
liar ways and instiucts of wild or domestic
animals; they sometimes show almost human
sense. It is one of tho pleasantest pastimes to
watch the wayB nf birds and insects, to watch
the bees at work, to see them come loaded
with honey to the hive, or watch thcin kill
and carry off the drones that will not work.
We shall expect some good letters alter
harvest.

I am a little girl 12 years old. This is the
first letter that 1 have ever written to the
Farmer. I will tell you of some of my pets:
they are one cow and calf, a cat and some
chickens. I have three sisters and two
brothers. I will tell you what I do to help
ina : I wash the dishes, make the beds and
sweep the floors. I was disappointed lecauso
it rained here on the 4 ill, as I wanted to go to
the celebration and could not go. Next week
our school will be out. I will close for this
time, wishing tho r Aim Kit succesi. lours

Editor Home Circle ;
As my first letter was published I will write
again. Will Aunt Hetty please put my name
on the temperance roll ! I did not think there
were any little boys and girls so tar from Ore
gon as I am who wrote to the Farmer, but I
saw two letters from Milwsukie last week.
Our school will soon be out, and then we will
have two months' vacation. I will ask some
questions : What took place January If,
18G2! Who was the father of James and
John ! I will now close, with Iwst wishes to
the Farmer. Alice M. Martin.

Editor Home Circle :
This is the first time I have written to the
Farmer, but I read the little folks' letters. I
am piecing a quilt called the nine patch. I
will tell you what I do to help ma : I wash
and iron, wash the dishes, sweep the floor,
make the beds and help to cook. I am 11
years old. I don't like this country very
much. I think I would like Oregon much
better. I have a brother in Oregon, and he
sends us the Farmer, and we like it very
much. Our school has closed now. I send
love to Aunt Hetty. Yours truly,
Nellie Bramhall.
Cottage Grove, July 9, 18S2.
Editor Home Circle:
It has been some time since I wrote to the
Home Circle. Well, Aunt Hetty, I guess you
thought I never intended to w rito any more.
I received my book in good order, and was
glad to pet a present from you. I am ever so
much obliged to you for it, and will remem
ber you always. The reason that I havo not
written before is tint I have been going to
school. School is out now; it was out the last
day of June. Wo had an Angcll to teach
Ono girl wrote and said that a lady by the
name of Saten was teaching their school. If
tho Satin and Angell had got together, they
would havo had n fine time I reckon. Crops
and gardens look well up in this part of the
country. The hay harvest has commenced,
and the farmers are busy. Blackberries aro
getting ripo very fast; young apples aro large
enough to use. The weather is warm, but it
looks like rain. On the 4th of this month we
had a regular thunder storm; it spoiled tho
celebration for those up here; you could see
their lips drop when they snw the rain.
Well, I must close, for fear of tiring your
patience. Hoping to hear from Emma Powell
and the boy who signs himself Is "Farmer's
Bov" from Shoo String, I remain sincerely
vnur friend. KATIE S,
FUN WITH A HORNETS' NEST.
Boys never havo such splendid times any
where as they do at their grandfathers'. How
some fellows get along the way they havo to
without any grandfathers or grandmothers I
never could make out. Just fancy having no
grandfather to go and see Christmas and
Thanksging and summer vacations ! The fact
is, a boy without a grandfather can't begin to
have half a good time.
Fathers and mothers are all very well, but,
you see, as mother explained tho last time
father had to whip us, they feel a responsibil
ity. Now, grandfathers and grandmothers
haven't any such responsibility. Thoy can
just give themselves up to being good ua
tured, and let a fellow have a good time. If
he turns out bad, you see, it ain't their fault,
and they don't have to worry about not hav-
ing done their duty by him.
My g'andfather lived just out ot Black-
ridue, on a largo farm. There was an academy
at Blackridge, and so mother sent me to live
there for a while and go to school; anil Uncle
Jerrv'B two boys, Ham and Mow (right names
Hamilton and Mowbray), lived there all tho
time, and Uncle Jerry and Auut Anna, too,
and we had just the best fun that ever any
boys did have; I don't mean Uncle Jerry and
Aunt Anna; they didn't go in for fun, you
know. Untie Jerry kept a store in the vil
lage, and Aunt Anna staid in the kitchen
with giandma.
We always had to behave ourselves, and
never thought of doing things without leave,
for grandpa was not one of the kind to be dis
obeyed; besides, we loved him too well for
that. But ho was always ready to let us have
a good time, and said that ho liked to see boys
enjoy themselves when they did it in the
right way.
Besides Ham and Mow, there were the
DaviB boys, about five miles off, who went to
the academy, too, and once a week or so we
spent the day with them, or they came to
spend it with us. Real good fellows, both of
them, and I think we liked the visit to them
best, there were such lots of things to do
there. Mr. Davis, you see, was what grandpa
called "a progressive man I used to won
der what that meant, and say it over to my
self whenever I saw him and he wanted
Frank aud George to understand everything
that was going on; and he used to get them
all tho improving boys' books that came out,
and they had a tool-chest and a printing'
press, and all kinds of drawing things, and
tho greatest lot of scrap-books; and they col
lected stamps and coins, and taught us how;
and wo used t muke things when we went
there, and Mr. Davis always gave a prize for
the best.
Mr. Davis' right name was "Hon, Chailes
M. Davis." I saw it on his letters when the
boys brought them lrom tho poit-olfice, and
they were very proud of their father's name.
He liad been to Congreis, people said, and I
uied to wonder if this was as far off as the
Capo of Good Hope.
Mrs. Davis used to train round (I don't
mean that she acted bad) iu a real handsome
dress mornings, and she smiled at us plea
santly, and said that she liked boys, and
hoped we wouldn't make her head tjuite split
(Ham guessed there must be a big crack in it
somewhere); and then she went off, and we
didn't see her again until dinner-time,
I used to got 'most sick then, because Mrs.
Davis said she thought boys could never have
too much to eat; and she kept piling things
on our plates, and it wouldn't bo polite to
leave them; and I was the littlest, and it
really seemed as if I couldn't hold them all.
Aunt Anna always said that "visiting didn't
agree with Phil;" but I went all tho same.
This was the way we got thcro : grandpa
would let us have a horse when it wasn't too
busy a day on the farm, and we all took
turns in riding him. It was prime fun, and
gave each of us just alxmt enough walking,
There was the one-milu mill, Heckle' pasture
and the brook, and old Mrs. Juukett's little
red house, and lots of places where the boy
that was on got off, and the next one took his
turn; and we never quarreled about it, and
and always came back feeling just about as
good as when we started.
One morning in 'July we set off, expecting
to havejust tho grandest kind of a time. Mr.
Davis had got tho boys something now from
the city, and they wouldn't tell us what it
was until wo came. It was Satmday, of
course, and most amazingly hot. Kitty (that
was the horse) did not care about going very
fast, and she crawled along with us, turn and
turn, till we got about a milo from Mr.
Davis'.
"A hornots nest !" shouted Mow, who ha 1
walked on ahead of Kitty, "Como on, boys!"
"Stop," said Ham; "let's tie Kitty safely
first."
So wo led her to the shade of some trees on
the edge of a piece of woods, where she would
be safo from tho hornets, and tied her fast;
then off wo went, full tilt, after Mow. He
was starting up in a hollow tree, whore wo
could just seo the hornet's nest, looking like
a brown-paper parcel full of holes, and a big
fat one it was.
"There's millions in it," said ho as we
came up; but ho didn't mean mouoy, only
hornets.
This pleased us very much; not that we
were exactly fond of hornets, but It made it
more exciting. No matter what a boy is do
ing, ho always has to go for a hornets' nest
when ho sees it; and wo never thought about
being warm or anything else, but just to send
those hornets flying. We could see a few nf
them crawling in aud out, and hanging round
their paper-house, and wo meant to give them
a hint that thoy had been living in that hol
low tree about long enough.
The treo was quite low, and wo got long
sticks aud went nt them. We had a lively
time of it. Tho hornets came swarming out
at us like ten thousand red-hot locomotives,
burning us everywhere at once, for they
stung us liko fun; and wo ran lor near me,
and then came back and hacked away at
them, our faces blazing with heat, and pers
piration oozing from every pore. Wo took
off our jackets at tho beginning of the fray,
or there would not have been much of them
left, for the h'ornets were as mad as thoy
could be, and so were we.
Wo kept it up for hours, never thinking
how hot.wc were, or that it was time to be
hungry, and we cot that nest pretty well de
molished. When tho horuets wcro nearly
gone, and there wasn't much of the nest to bo
seen, threo tired boys limped off rather .amcly
to Kitty's cool bowor, and throwing them
selves down on tho ground, fell fast aslocp.
When thoy awoke, each looked at tho other
in great amazement. Ham's uppor lip was
nuffed 'way out aud one oyo closed; Mow's
noso looked like a large pink potato; while as
for me, the hornets seemed to have attacked
every feature I had The lengthening sha
dows warned us that it was supper time, and
w ith a puzzled feeling about our visit at tho
Divises, we turned our highly ornamented
faces homeward.
" hat has happened," cried grandma, as
we cimo within sight of the family gathered
on the porch, "I.o look at these boys !"
nf raiiimH overv ono looked lit us; and as
soon as they had settled the matter tlioy
made us h.ok ten times worse than ivcr by
daubing our facej with mud.
We wcro rather afraid of punishment, at
least by being sont supperlcss to bod; and I
think we novor loved grandma so much aB
when, calling us into tho kitchen, alio gavo us
ono of the best Buppcrs wo over lad in our
lives,
All that was ever said to ub was said by
grandpa the next morning, with a comical
twiHt nf Ins eve. "ltovs. when you want
another hornets' nest you needn't go quite so
far after it; there's a splendid ono over tho
northeast end of the barn."

Tho Albany Democrat speaks o the pros
pects of that city as follows, and indicates
only what rosy be reliably anticipated as the
future of thai beautiful city, lue growtli
and prosperity of the Willamette Valley will
insure it :
Without any exception Albany has as good
prospects beforo it as any city in tho State of
Oregon. Its location indicates growth, its
surroundings speak of its possibilities and tell
of what it may btcmno. As a mere agricul
tural city it cannot look for a very largo pop
ulation; but its water power is uvideuco that
enterprise, something that the people of this
city are lacking in a inarked.dogrce, would
eventually place it as a inanufactuiiuK city in
a leading position in this State. Inashoit
time railroads will come in from the north
west from at least threo different points. Our
climate, and tho fertility of our soil and our
great advantages Kent-rally, are certain to fill
this beautiful acction of country with a live,
activo people. What will it benefit our cities?
It will depend on their manufacturing facili
ties. Tho number of farms in the valley will
not increase so very much, so that as far sa
we aro concerned those coming hero will go
where thero are tho greatest manufacturing
advantage, and if Albany will only put her
self forward she can beoomo one of the largest
cities iu Oregon, just through this channel.
It is growing stesdily and surely, but like all
agricultural cities it will bo limited by tho
number of people in the county i but make it as
well, a live, manufacturing, commercial city,
and thero is no end to its possibilities.
In Whatom county thero are about 2,000,
000 acres of land, of which, at a very low cs
timate, 600,000 are available for the purposes
of agriculture. And yet tho improved lauds,
at fountl by the aaetior in 1882, aggregate
only 10,230. When fiat number is multi
plied by fifty, as it will no a generation
hence, Whatcom county will yield the thrifty
husbandmen a greater juntity of produce
than i now secured by all the tillers of the
soil iu Washington Territory.
