GONE AWAY.

will Dot think of tlico as cold and dead,
Low lying in the grave that I can see,
would not Bland beside when life had fled
And Wt 'liy 1 otly only, there for mc
never saw thee with thy pale arms crossed
On that unheatine heart thatwa mine own,'
they only told me all that I had lost
When from thy breast thy lovely soul bad
flown.
hou wert not that ! And so I turned away,
And left tho houao whou other mourners
staved;
Nor did I come tin that unhappy day
When in the tomo mat dreaulul thing was
laid.
Eo me thou art not dfad, hut gone an hour
Into another country fair and sweet,
'here thou shalt by some undiscovered
power
Be kept in youth and beauty till wo meet.
hus I can feel that any given day
1 could rejoin thee, gone awhile hefoie
o foreign climes to pass dull weeks away
' By wandering on tho broad Atlantic shore;
hero each long wave that breaks upon the
sand
Bears theo a message from me waiting here
ud cvciy breath spring breathes across the
land
Bo I will think of tlitu as living there,
And I will keep thy grave in sweetest bloom
L if thou gavedst a gulden to my care
E'ti- tlicu ilepaitetl from our English gloom.
ri.cn when my day is done, and I too die,
Twill be as if I journeyed to thy side;
nd when all quiet we together lie.
We shall not know that we h ive over died.

Do Christian isles of fat increase !

Take down their cross from proud St. Paul's
And coin it into cannon balls I
Your tent not far from Nazareth.
Your camp spreads where his child fett

If Christ had seen this work of death I
If Christ had seen these ships invade 1
I think the patient Christ had said,
"Go back, brave men I Take your dead;
Draw down your great ships to the. seas;
Repass the gates of Hercules.
Go back to wife with babe at breast,

There's something grimly wiong in this

ABOUT CALIFORNIA.
HAYWARDS.
Up the bay from Oakland we find aloDg the
line of railroad fine farms and orchards,
passing acres of ground where some special
vegetable is crown for market. One field of
some ten or fifteen acres was growing cucum
tiers, probably for tome pickling establish'
nent. Large fields ot tomatoes also were
jetting about the last picking, for it is late in
he season now for ripening these vegetables
VVo got off the cars at Haywards, near which
tation is the fruit farm of Mr. Jessup, whose
Articles upon fruit raising and drying had in
duced us to visit him. He is an enthusiast on
the subject, and a practical ' ne too. We u ere
Knott cordially welcomed and entertained by
Pboth Mr. and Mrs. Jessup, meeting also the
Chilian Consul, who is rending in San Fran
isco, and whcHs studying up the fruit inter
ests for the benefit of his own country, the
climate of Chili in many respects resembling
(this part of California. Land here is held at
lour hundred dollars an acre, Mr. Jessup hav-
M just disposed of some acrei at that price.
The fertility of the anil is wonderful a dark
loamy soil so soft and fine that the foot
inks luto the ground. Tne cherry trees were
Barge and pretty well trimmed in. Every sort
f tree makes rapid growth here A number
f almond trees were full of ripening nuts, a
soft-shell variety, the outside shell or
"shuck" resembling the black walnut in
shape," splittiog open on one side when ripe,
isclosing the nut itself, which is nice eating.
The prunes aud plums had been gathered and
tried, fine specimens of each we saw in the
acting house. The apples will not come up
to ours in size or general appearance. We
noticed boxes of this fruit showing ravages of
the coddling moth, which had been sorted for
drying or for cider making. Here in Califor
nia we notice nothing is wasted; a ready mar
ket ia fonnd for every grade; it, indeed, must
lb necessary where land i so high to sea that
nothing; is wasted. Currants are cultivated
between row of tree in some orchards, and
which find ready sale to the canning estab
lishments. Vegetables, such as beet and
carrot, are grown also in the orchards for
cattle feed and for the ;rralk ranchec near toe
Bity, where hundreds of cow are seen in an
enclosure in the outskirts of San Francisco,
,,,,. i. - k
ana wnicn nave to ,iea- on root in a great
measure, to keep up the flow of milk, Allud-
ling to the milk business, ovate are kept in
considerable numbers for milk; in the suburbs
Ithey may be seen in all directions staked out
convenient to any little patch of grass.
Grape do not do as well near the bay aa
further up the mountains. The land on the
slopes toward Santa Cnu and Santa
Clara seem to be beat adapted to One flavored
grapes. Tne grapes grown anooi ineee place
are especially for table fruit, selling for live
cent a pound. The moisture precipitated U
so great that no irrigation is needed, the Der
bies being large and of the greatest perfection.
Some of the finest vineyard of the State are
kere, 1,600 or 2,000 feet above the tea; no
very great extent of land in any one, but
range from ten to sixty acres in a vineyard.
One gentleman informed us that some pro
ducers had realized from $300 to $350 an acre,
some of these mountain lands producing seven
and eight Ions to the acre. The vines seem
closely prnced, tied to stakes four or five feet
in length. It seems as if there were too little
wood left for bearing fruit. , Grape culture
was a matter of interest. We feasted every
day on them, testing every new variety we
saw at the fruit stands, carrying a little paper
aack f them to oar room every evening.
-The mountains are frequented by health
seekers. A number of ladies of Jan Jose,
twenty two in number, have bought the level
summit of one of" these mountains some five
acres our Oregon Iriend, Mrs. Governor
Woods, being one of that number. Each lady
has a cottage up there, which is kept fur
nished, and is only five miles from a railway
station. Majestic oaks give shade and com.
fort, while it is never too cold to be possible
to visit "sky land," as this spot is so aptly
named. The scenery is fine; the city, bay
and o.'ean, with white-wioged ships can be
seen going and coming through the Golden
Gate; or you cau watch them disappear be
yond the horizon of sea and sky.
RAX JOSE
Is much such a place as Salem; the same
sort of quaint, ruralizing look, only a much
larger city. It is a favorite place for people
who have just to live. I imagine one would
not not make a fortune in business in a hurry
there. The same easy way of getting about
there as we find in Oakland and San Fran
cisco, by rail and street car. Ten ceuts took
us five miles to Santa Clara, through "the
Alameda," or beautiful way. Nearly a hun
dred yeats sgogtfcsuit Priest induced the In
dians to plant a wide avenue of willow trees
this distance, for what reason is not exactly
known; at any rate it is now a perfect arch of
living green. Later'on has been planted two
rows of various sorts of trees, outside of this
avenue, thus giving three fine carriage drives,
one of which is used by the street cars. A
continuous row of beautiful house line each
side of this avenue, so that one can hardly tell
whero San Jose leaves off or Santa Clara be
gins. Some of thse homes are elegant, all
surrounded by tall evergreens, beautiful
hedges, lovely flowers and tropical plants,
heliotropes and Lady Washington geraniums
growing almost to the eaves of the houses
while fuschias are growing like shrubs. Santa
Clara College is a handsome building, sur
rounded by a tall cypress hedge Here again
we find, as we often do, an old Oregonian,
Rev. C. C. StrattiO, who is President of this
institution. He showed us the museum in the
college, passing some time in examining plas
ter casta of some of tho wonderful prehistoric
and antidiluvian monsters. Professor Stra'ton
is a hard worker, delivering lectures and
preaching every day when not engaged in col
legiate duties; lecturing on Friday at Oakland
on Ancient Troy, Saturday to the Young
Men's Christian Association in San Francisco,
and on Sunday delivered an eulogy on the Life
of Dr. Gerrard. At a museum in the city is
to be seen a fac similie of that monster masta
don which was found some year ago frozen
in a mountain of ice in Siberia. It is still a
mystery how or why an animal belonging to a
tropical or temperate zone should be found in
that cold region. Some scientists bslievo that
the equilibrium of the earth was at some
period suddenly disturbed. Many bones and
tusks had been fonnd in Siberia, but this one
animal was found with flesh, skin and hair
intact, tho flesh so good that the dogs and
wild animals feasted on it. A report of its
finding comintr to scientific men, the govern
ment sent out sleds and a force of men to save
what was left of this creature. Tens of hair
was gathered, and all was removed to a place
of safety. In this way it was possib'e to cre
ate and clothe correct copies for exhibition.
This specimen stands sixteen feet hieh and
twenty-six feet from the bend of tusks to the
end of vertebre. It is impossible to describe
the immense proportions of this animal, or to
believe that herds of the came once roamed
the forest in ancient times. This museum
contains many other wonderful thingB. Petri
factions and bones of extinct animals of our
own continent. The scientific world is jusj
now interested in some footprints found in a
quarry at Carson, steps of elephants and
of human beings made in a soft mud that
hardened and are now disclosed in blasting.
Steps have been taken to preserv e these. Pro
fessor Stratton gave us a minute account of
these trunks, he having visited Carson, with
other scientists, not one of whom has yet
been able to assign a data to their origin.
OUR BOOK TABLE.
Harper's Monthly open with a sketch of
early time in Pennsylvania, and of the Quale,
ers who first settled that region. This "socie
ty of Friinds" was originated by George Fox,
early in the seventeenth century. William
Penn was one of his earliest disciples, a man
of wealth and good birth, and whose name is
''part of onr national history. This article
will be read wjth additional interest, a con
nected with the recent demonstration in
Philadelphia over the anniversary celebrations
in that city. The Quaker element i wildly
diffused, over the United States, though most
of the descendant ot these old families have
discarded the peculiar class and quaint lan
guage yet proud of thi Quaker lineage. A
nnely Illustrated laeicn oi coutoern tjau-
fornia give a very correct idea of that land of
everlasting summer. Theodore Bell' is still
on band. "Problem of living in New York"
i well -worked, though with doubtful satisfac
tion to the dweller. The Editor's Drawer is
excellent thi month who could get along
without Harper' t
tiic cxsTuar.
The twelfth year of thi magazine closed
with the October number. During; this year the
monthly circulation ha been 129,701 eop'.es.
Mrs. Burnett' novel "Esmeralda," and Mr.
Howell's "Modern Instance," have given the
magazine a double interest the past year. The
number of those aspirins to literary honors I
may be guessed, when known that the Century
receives fonr or five hundred manuscripts
each month not more, than fifty of these be
ing accepted. The illustrations of one issue
cost from $1,600 to $1,700. The new year will
open with a new novel by Howell, and one by
Mary Hallock Foote.
IIAKFER'S YODUO PEOPLE
Is most ably edited and designed for young
children. The illustrations are admirable in
design; there is always a good continued sto
ry on hand. Then the letter column is full of
gonuine children's letters, an exchange column
giving the little folks a chance to trade off
curiosities for some other coveted possession.
Every one who takes Harper's Weekly or
Monthly, should remember the little ones and
take the Young People.
ST. NICHOLAS
Is designed for youth a little advanced,
there being history and biography with inci
dents of travel in foreign countries, all illus
trated in the highest degree of art. The
magazine is published on extra fine paper,
and is edited by Mary Maples Dodge; it be
longs to the Century department, and it is de
sirable to subscribe for both at once, The St.
Nicholas is, with its senior, the Century, pub
lished at Union Sguare, having moved into
now quarters, and morecommodiouslyadapted
to growing business.
The Wide Awake is published by Lathrop
& Co., Boston. The November number comts
to us as a specimen copy, and promises well
for tho coming jar. It is wonderful to see
the beautiful designs that are gotten up for
the youth of this day, and the degree of care
and talent that is used to attract the youthful
age and mind. "A Suit of Homespun" is re
markably well got up in both matter and illus
tration. "Peggy's Mistake" is a capital little
story, well told. 'Ihis last month of the year
one must determine about subscriptions for
the new year, and all of thesj works are not
too much for one good-sized family to take for
winter reading.
CHOICE RECEIPES.
Grapes may be pickled in a variety of ways.
Ether of the following waj s is recommended
as being excellent : Boil ripe gropes till they
are soft, then mash them through a colander,
leaving the seeds only in it. To one pound of
grapes use three quarto s of a pound of sugar
and half a tcacuptul of vinegar. Boil until
almost like jelly; then, just before taking
from the fire, add cinnamon and cloves to suit
your taste. No 2 : Take ripe grapes; remove
imperfect and broken ones; line an earthen
jar with grape leaves, then fill with grapes; to
two quarts of vinegar allow one pint of white
kugar, half an ounce of ground cinnamon and
a quarter of an ounce of cloves; let the viue
gar and spice boil for five minutes, then add
the sugar; let it come to a boil, and then,
when cold, pour over the grapes; it poured on
while hot it shrivels them, even if it does not
oreak the skin and spoil the appearance of
tho pickles. Grapes pickled in this way are
nice put with mixed pickles in a castor or
pickle bottle.
Tipsy Squire. Fill a baking dish with
sliced sponge cake, saturate with wine, pour
over it a rich, boiled custard, set in tho stove
and let it remain ten or fifteen minutes; make
an icing out of the white of the egg; cover
the top and let it brown. Serve cold with
whipped cream.
Custard Cake. Use one pint and a half cf
snear, one pint and a half of flour, half a
pound of butter, one teaspoonful of soda, two
of cream tartar, and the whites of eleven
egg-
' For the Custard. Take the yelks of six
eggs, one teacupful of sugar, ono pound of
blanrhed almonds and one pint of thick, sour
cream, Chop the almonds fine; boil the cream;
add sugar, eggs and almonds; cook slowly
until thick; be careful not to burn. Slice the
cake and spread the jelly cake.
French Pickles Though why so called
know not, are made by slicing one peck of
green tomatoes and nine large onions; throw
over them one teacupful of salt, cover them
with cold water, and let them stand all night;
in the morning drain them and boil in weak
vinegar until the tomatoes are tender, not too
soft While they are boiling take four quarts
of good vinegar, two pounds of brown sugar,
two ounces of whit mustard seed, two table
spoonfuls each of ground allspice, cloves, cin
namon and ginger, half a teispooaful of cay
enne pepper; pour this over the tomatoes, aud
let all boil together for half an hour. Put in
jars closely covered, and if yon wi.h to keep
some for use in July and August, seal them
in cans. It is surprising how, in this way,
they retain the peculiar fresh taste. Catsup
made of green tomatoes make a good relish,
also; for thi take one peck of tomatoes, six
small red peppers, or one tablespoonful each
of salt and of black pepper, one tablespoonful
each of ground mustard, clove and allspice,
two quart of vinegar; cook the tomatoes and
red pepper in the vinegar until they are soft,
then strain, add all the spices, and boilslowly
for at least fonr hour. If yon prefer to
sweeten the catsup, add a teacupful of
sugar.
Roily-Poly redding. Take half a pound of
pastry flour and cut into it halt a teacupful of
lard. Roll it out smoothly, after wetting it to
a paste with three-quarter of a cupful of cold
water. Spread over it a quarter of a teacupful
of butter, and scatter flour over the butter;
lay one half of the paltry over the other, roll
out thin, and cnt It about a foot in length and
even to eight inches in breadth. Spread over
it a thick layer of (tewed apples, peaches or
plums, well sweetened, or any sort of pre
serve, leaving an inch of tbe pastry uncov
ered on each edge. Then roll op the pastry
and pre tbe edge together. Dip a pudding
cloth into boiling water, flour it well on one
side, and wrjp hat aide loosely around tbe
pudding, securing it in some way. Put it into
boiling water and boil it, two hour. Cut it
crosswise like rolled jelly cake, and serve with
hot padding eauce.

OUR LETTER BOX.
Aunt Hetty begins to feel neglected, as the
the mail brings so few letters from her little
friendB. With so many bright boys aud girls
who regularly read the Farmer, it is rather
strange that nearly all of them should neglect
the Home Circle. While in California Aunt
Hetty thought often of her young friends,
and wished that their eyes too could see all
she saw. More than once she watched thos
little city children and felt sorry for some
that looked so poor and pitiful. There is not
near as much suffering among the poor in Cal
ifornia as in Eistern States; for one reason
that tho climate is warm and pleasant, aud
they do not suffer with cold. There is one
place in San Francisco for w ee little babies
who are not wanted. Is not that a good thing
that there should bo some place where a poor
innocent babe can find love and a welcome.
It is a large building, and in a rather secluded
part of it is an arrangement consisting of
boxes or sort of cradles revolving all the time,
into which the child can be put. Instructions
in different languages tell the person to ring
the bell close by. So any one who wants to
give away a child can stand behind a screen
and watch till some one from the insido tikes
the dear little one out of its nest as it turns
inside of the building. As soon as the bell is
heard to tinkle a nurse goes immediately to
get the child, which is then taken to the ma
tron, who is a most kind, motherly looking
woman. She undresses the child, examines
all its clothing, and if any note or instructions
are found, it is recorded in a book; also, the
date of its arrival, and of any peculiar marks
on the child by which it may be identified, it
is bathed and fed and put in charge of seme
one particular nurse. The matron gives the
little waif a name if no other name is penned
on its clothing. The matron says they some
times find two in one day left in this way,
often only a few hours old. Sho says she can
not keep them long, for there are. so many
who want children that they do not often re
main longer than two weeks. Even the home
liest little ones finds tome one who admire
and loves it. It seem strange that in this
way any mother could give up a sweet littl
baby, not knowing who will bring it up, or
how badly it may be treated. But then we
who have happy homes and plenty to eat can
not realize the feelings of a mother who can
scarcely get bread for herself, and so much
harder if her arms are fi.led with helpless
childhood. Children are kept a few days, so
that the mother can have the chance to take
it back again if she finds that sho regrets giv
ing it away. After a few days she cannot g-1
it again. Tbe good, kind-looking matron tells
of many curious circumstances that have hap
pened under her observation that seems like
romance. She takes each baby so kind and
loving in her arms that no doubt is more lov
ing and kind than most of their own mothers.
There is no doubt but that many a bitter tear
is shed by some mothers, who are obliged thus
to cast a dear little baby on the cold charity
of the world, but it is good that th rse is a
place for those innocents.
We are not sure if we acknowledged tho
shell from Oliver, if not, he must excuse the
omission, and send a longer letter next time,
one that can be put in this column.
Harvey writes an excellent letter, and
wants to be put on the temperance roll. He
must be a live boy, if we can judge from his
items about fishing and bunting.
Nellie i a little Kansas girl, who thinks
she would rather work than play; It is not
often the case with young folks. We like to
see them play pari of the time, for "all work
and no play make Jack a dull boy."
Delia end a splendid account of her trip
to Yaquin Bay, which i the very nicest
place in Oregon to visit, when one want to
see the Ocean. Every sort of fish i to be had
there, o) sters, clams and a good chance to
drive on the hard beach. The South Beach is
the place to camp. Delia Improves, and we
want her to write another good letter.
One more letter only left in the box; we
cannot afjord to print the last one, but must
keep it for next time.

It ha been a long time since I wrote to the
Farmer. School will commence soon, and I
am golDg. There are two school in this city,
and I don't know which one I will go to; one
is a long way from our house, and the other is
not very far, I have no pets, and I don't
want any; I would rather work than play, I
and my eitUx, who I 12 year old, do all tbe

Editor Home Circle:
As you published my other letter, I
thought I would write again, as I wish to be
come ember of the Homo Circle. Harvest
is over now ,we had about 1,000 bushels of
prain. School is out now. There are plenty
of jays and squirrels here now; I catch a good
many of them. There are also plenty of
grou-e in the fields I catch a good many fish
in the eveninp. Our fo'ks weht to Yaquina
Bay last year, and were going to bring home
a wagon load of fish, and caught four littlo cat
fish. Didn't they do well? We take, besides
tbe Farmer, tho P. C. Advocate, Christian
Herald and Youth's Companion. Yiu may
put my name on the temperance roll.

Halset, Or., Nov. 11, 1882.
Editor Home Circle :
As I have not written for some time, I will
send a few lines. We all miss the letters and
Aunt Hetty's talk so much. I hope Aunt
Hetty had a pleasant trip to California. I
should like so much to travel and see the
sights that uncle talks about in tho last
Farmer, but I wouldn't like the sea sickness,
and I would be afraid of getting lost in a great
city like" San Francisco.. I have always lived
in tho country, and never saw a large city in
my life. We took a trip to Yaquina this fa'l,
which we enjoyed very much. We camped
at Morgan's, between Newport and Cape
Foulwcaeher. We got there on Saturday
evening. Monday we went over to North
Beach and spent the day gat'iering shells and
mosses. Tuesday some of us girls were on tho
beach about half a mile from camp, when wo
saw that the tide wis coming in very fast, so
we started back in a hurry, but as we were
going around a point of rocks a big wave
caught us, and I tell you we were scared, but
not hurt, except getting a good wetting.
Wednesday we went to Newport, which has
improved very much since wo wore there be
fore. Tho sconery is boautiful on tho bay, but
judging from the saloons and tho whisky bot
tles scattered around the street, I don't think
it would be a nice place to live. Thursday
we visited the lighthouse at Capo Foul-
weather; we did not go insido, but the day
was clear, and the wind did not blow at all, so
we had a glorious view. Wo could see two
steamers away out on the ocean. After wo
had looked awhile, we went down on the
beach, and out on the rocks as far as we could
for the tide; but I could never tell of half
the pretty and curious things we saw there.
I hardly know which is tho most fun, climb
ing over the rocks, bathing in the surf or
hunting shells on tHe beach and racing with
the tide; thePouly trouble with it all i, tho
days are not long enough when we are there.
On Friday we went to E k City, where we
stayed till Monday, and then started for
home. Tho trip home was not so nice, ai it
rained some, but we felt paid any way,
though we did not go to South Beach as wc
intended. Whon we were thcra before, we
rowed over there and camped at Seal Rock. I
think that is the nicest of all; but I must not
write any more this time, or you will none of
you want me to come again.,

Women as Poultry Raisers.
The custom practiced in France of allowing
the wife so many francs a month or year as
pin money, to use as sho pleases
should be generally adopted, especially in the
United States, On tho farm the care and
profits of some, if not all the poultry, could
be ery properly transferred to tho woman of
the household. The caro of poultry is a bum.
ness ntturally adapted to woman, as it re
quires patience and attention, and, at the
same time, kindness and gentlinees, traits too
often lacking in the sterner sex, There is no
event in connection with poul'ry railing,
during the wholo year, which has not its in
terest for those who caro for the innocent
creatures of the farm yard, Whether it bo
feeding grateful bipeds, gathering eggs, hatch
ing the chickens, or reducing the flocks in the
fall to suit winter quarters all have their
charm, and excito the interest and sympathy
ot their faithful attendants. There is much
complaint among the physiologists that Amer
ican 'adies lose health and beauty csrlitr than
they ought for vt ant of sufficient out of door
air and exercise, and this occupation has,
among its other benefits, that of sending them
daily abroad into the pure, outer air, and in
citing a love for rural, natural beauty not
found among thoso whom no suth beauty
tempts from the fireside, Lafayette Journal
The skins of certain sharks are used in jew
elry for sleeve-button and the like, and when
dried and cured take a polish almost equal to
that of stone, and greatly resemble the fossel
porites. The ". ertebrai of the sharks are al
ways in demand for cane. The opening
filled with marrow during life is now fitted
with a steel or iron rod. The side opening
are filled with mother-of-pearl end when pol

India in 1880, $300,000 worth of shark fin
were shipped to China for food. In the is
lands of the Pacific the fish is in great demand
for it teeth, which are manufactured into
weapon of virion kinds, ranging from spears
to swords and daggers. The teeth are all ser

wounds. The base of the tooth is bored with
some small instrument and forty to fifty of
them are tied or lashed to a hardwood (word,
forming the edge. The hilt is also protected
by cross pieces armed in the same way. Ho
effective are these weapons that the native of
