WILLAMETTE FARMER: PORTLAND, OREGON, DECEMBER 15, 1882. Che omi f irtlif. Tiiltfi by Itn Harriot T. Uultie. TIRED MOTHERS. A little ell w loms upon your kntr, Your tireil knee that has so much to bear; A child's ilpur ryes are looking lovinuly From uucltnieiuh a thatch of tangled hair. Perhaps you ilo not liueil the vtlyet touch Of war in, ii uiat tinkers holding ynursso tight; Yon do nut in i.u this blessing overmuch, Yon sre almost too tired to pray to-night. Aut it is blessedness. Ay cur ago I did nor. nee it as t see to-day, We're nit to dull and th&nklers and too slow To catch the sunshine till it slips away; And now it senna surpassing strange to me That, wli Ik I ore the batch of motherhood, I did not kiss m ire iifsaud tenderly The little child that brought me only good. And if, some night, when you fit down to rest, You miss the rib w from your tired knee, Tin's restless curly head from ohT your breast, This lisping tongue i lint chatters constantly; If from tiurou n thedinipled hands had slippt d, And ne'er would nistie in jour p-Uin again; If the feet into iheir grave had tripped, I could not blame you fortheheart-achethon. I wonder so that mothers ever fret At litt'e children clingiii7to their gown; Or that th foot-prints when thodays are wet, Are ever black enough to make them frown. If I could find a little muddy boot Or cap or jacket on my chamber floor; If I could kiss a rosy, restless feet. And hear it patter in my home once more; If I could mend a broken cart to-day, To morrow nuke a kite to reach the sky, There is no woman in (Jod's world could say She was imreb lissfully content than I. But, ah l the dainty pillow next my own Is never rumpled by a shiny head; My finning limiting! from its nest has flown; The lit'lo boy I iise l to kiss is dead I Aldine. ONLY A WOMAN. BY HF.STKK A. BE.VKIlICT. Only a woman, shriveled and old; The play of the winds and the prey of the cold I Checks that are shrunken, Eyes that are sunken, Lips that were never o'er bold. Only a woman forsaken and poor, Asking an alms at the bronze church door. Hark to the organ ! roll upon roll The waves of its music go ovor the soul ! Silks rustle post her Thicker and faster; The great bell cease to toll. Fain would she enter, but not for the poor Swingeth wide open the bronze church door. Only a woman waiting alone. Icily cold, on an ice-cold throne. What do they care for her? Mumbling a prayer tor her, Giving not bread, but a stone. Under old laces their haughty hearts beat, Mocking the woes of their kin in the street. Only a woman ! In the old days Hope caroled to her her happiest lays; Somobody missed her; Somebody kised her; Somebody crowned her with praise; Someb dy faced up the battles of life, Strong for her sakj who was mother, or wife. Somebody lies with a tress f her hair Light on his heart w hero thedeath-shadowsare; Somebody waits for her, Op"i ing the gates for her, Giving delight for despair. Only a woman neermore poor Dead in the mow at the bronze church deor. Nome Journal. CHOICE RECEIFES. Old-Fashioned Loat Cake. Take three tjiurts of sifted (and well heaped) flour, a pint of soft butter, one qrnrt of sugar, five galls of new milk, half a pint of yeast, three egg9, two pounds of rasins, a teaspoonful of soda, a gill of brandy or wine, two teaspoons cinnamon and two of nutmeg. Scald the milk, cool to blood-warnv&dd the.yeast.Jhyi the flour, to which all-t he butter and half the tugir have been added; then mix together and let rise until l'ght. It U better to set this sponge over night, and in the morning add the inere dients (flour the rasins) and let rise again. When jight, fill tjhe.baking-pans and let rise again. Bake in a moderate oven. This rec ipe makes three large loaves, and it a standard economical loaf cake, Ii you dip your broom in clean, hot audi once a week, then shake it till it is almost dry and then hang it up or stand it with the handle down, it will last twice aa long as it would without this operation. Green bell peppers make a delicate relish if eaten with salt." Cut the pepper in narrow 'trips, after removing the seeds and rinsing in cold water; dip the strips in salt, as you do celery. Serve on a plate or in a shallow glass. CnlTe-. grounds making a highly successful filling for a pin cushion. They must be dried perfectly before using. Put th;m in a bag and hang behind the kitchen stove till you have enough that are dry to ni' the cushion. They do not gather moisture, and consequent ly do not rust the needle. Potato balls are very' nice for breakfast. Boil them, and.while still-warm mash then until ther art too lumpslefti then mix batter pepper, salt, a little chopped parsley, and one or more taw eggs; beat these together thor oughly then mould in balls7 dip in beaten eggs and then in flour, and fry in. butter. If you put soda in the water with which yoajttetawaih.winclows. you will find that oangor-tntrks, pntty etaini, etc., will be much "aaora easily removed than if olear water alone is atari. A'good, common toft of fruit cake is made , of five cupe of granulated sugar, three small .caps of butter, one cup of milk, tix.cggt, one 1 wine g'asa of wioe and one of brandy, ten cups of flour, twp'butmegs grated, two pounds of raisins, 'one pound of Kngliah currants, and one quirter of a pound of citron, This cake keeps will. Housekeepers who 'do 'not tnink they can Jbrd to have Worcestershire sauce on the table often, can mike a bottle of it do pood service by uiin? the sauce as a flavoring ex Wf ' tract. Th.re is nothing which adds a piy- 'EBr' nancy an i an indescribably good taste to gra. turn.. ..... . W" like this popular sauce. A tablespoonrui is enough to flavor a medium-sized gravy boat full of gravy. A goid squash pie is easily made if oue will take care to observe this rule; Do not at tempt to make a squash pie unless you hat e at least three eggs to spare for each pie. Beat the eggs 1 11 they are as light as it is possible to make them; then beat the eggs and squash together till it all looks foamy; add milk enough to thin it sufficiently; bake in a mod erate oven, and success is certain. Pear pie is a delicacy not often seen on our tables, and yet lato pears, that do not soften until after they have been picked for some time, make very nice pies. Make a thiu, rich crust by rich I do not mean greasy; slice the pears, sprinkle sugar over them, and put in a few small lumps of butter; add, if you please, a very little cinnamon or mace. Bake with an upper crust. Excellent tomato sauce, to serve with roast or fried meats, is made by stewing, say, three large tomatoes in a little beefsteak; add a lit tle pepper sauce, a pinch of mace, and a small onion, chopped fine, salt, aud a very little su gar. This sauce may be strained, or if you tke the precaution to remove the skin from the tomatoes, it may be poured over the meat without straining. A plain baked Indian pudding, without fruit, is surpriringly improved by serving it with a rich sauce, and will seem to anything but a common dish. Beat two ounces of su gar and one ounce of butter together till they are like cream; then beat one egg and add, when this is thoroughly mixed with the but ter and sjgar; stir in one ounce of brandy, 01 of wine to suit your taste. It is said that the following lotions will re move frecklrs, and are safe for use in domestic medicine. 1. Moisten the finger with water, dip it into finely powdered nitre and apply it to the freckles. Patiently continued, this remedy !b said to be a sure one. 2. A solu tion of borax in water a drachm to the pint applied night and morning. 3. Sal am moniac, one drachm; pure water, one pint; lavender or cologne water one-quarter ounce, mix, and apply with the finger night and morning. SELF CONTROL. A mother only knows the deep tender love that desires for her children the best things of life. Too often the fond mother imagines that indulgence will give happiness. It was the remarks of such a mother that causes us to consider what would constitute the real hap piness and good of a child, snd the course of education that would lead to the best results. This mother, a widow of abundant means, said of her only boy : "I love him so much that I let him do as ha pleaseB. I don't even call him in the morning, and study to cook what he enjoys." Is this laying the founda tion for his bet welfare ? Most decidedly not; it is cultivating a selfish, indolent char acter. Those men who have succeed' d best in life, who have strong minds and decided characters, are those who have early ben taught to think of others; have been forced by circumstances to perform duties that are dis tateful, thus early learning self control It is pleasant for parents to smooth the rough p'aces, but as parents cannot alwas be at hand to shield the children, it is better to bring them up in a way that will teach them how to best bear tho hard knocks of. the world. Self control i'b the most necessary thing ti learn. Boys may find it hard to b e obliged to get up early and do chores before breakfast, and to have to work, but it is the kindest way for parents to require certain duties of them Self control will teach a boy that it is more noble to overlook an injury than to resent it, even when the heart may rankle with a souse -of inj'iry and injustice. It is bet. or to rie above Buch things; the assailant will feel that you are superior t him. 1 he Bible sayi that be that ruleth his own spirit is greater than he that taketh a city. Nothing in this world goes just right, at least nothing of man's planning, so why should one fly off in passion when matter of ever day life go wrong. If the horse baulks top aud see if the collar fits good about the neck, or it may be the harness is wrong; skow self control by quietly finding what is the matter, instead of beating and whipping, making one who looks on wonder which is the greatest brute. If the hogs don't drive well, see if coaxing with a handful of wheat on't do better. This is self control, to show a 'mind superior to your surroundings. If you can't agree with other bays about affairs of mutual interest, talk it over pleasantly, giv ing up a good deal, and you will find that the rest will show a noble spirit, too. Self con trol will keep you friends; a friend is worth mure than money. We think we osn detect in the letters we get from the boys desire, to cultivate themselves, and an aisa for nobler life, and Aunt Hetty ii striving to encourage a growth tewards a higher life. We heard of a subscriber not long since who thought it was nonsense to publish so many letters, but for this one wko thinks so we hear of one hun dred who say they enjoy the young folks' column exceedingly. My Hyacinths In Mosa. I' have in the greenhouse an ornamental wire basket, in which, I pat six hyacinth bulbs on Uis.S4.oi .January last, and to see them now I .think., you, would say that is sorely the place to grow them. , The bolbs have prodaeed beautiful spikes of flower and splendid large greeri leaves, have made their way through the moss at least three inches, and which cannot be less than ten inches from the bulbs. Evidently they are. now receiving support from the moisture of tne house. Now', I think this basket filled in this manner would do very well for hanging in rooms, with a few small firms planted inside of the rim, hich is circular, to hang ovtr, and a glass laueer or other kind suspended under the btliiti to ;,0m tn water, arid which would . mt the ssme time supply the roots with i - ,..,- r f r fr.j.'...r. .. i moisture. i.amwm oip.i tV "''"""i Home Adornment. With the abundance of material now to be had at rcasonale prices, we can soon make a selection, and contrive many very pretty and useful articles u our homes. And it is won derful how these seeming nothings brighten up the plainest surroundings, if there is any taste displayed. I went one day into a home where I knew money was not over plenty, and the furniture very old, and very much wi rn. The room looked beautiful. The girls had rmde pretty cretonne covers for all the furniture; it was all fitted nicely, and the edges bound; a very pretty center table was made Out of their old one, by setting the old stained marble slab down cellar and covering the top with a hcaiy board, and this covered with a pretty scarf table cover, made of Turkish toweling, finished at the ends with strips of black velvet and L.ijih of crimson Canton flannel; the black velvet had a spang ling cat stitch in old gold silk worked along the length; the ends wero finished with fringe. Some of the old pictured had been re framed, and some of the gilt ones brightened up with gold paint; the candelabras also had a coat of gold paint upon the metal parts, which made them look like new. This comes in a box with all the directions for using printed upon it. and can be used for many pretty things. They put it all over a very homely green gls vase and made quite a pretty ornament of it, which brightened up a dark corner. In another corner was a long JaDanese panel strip reaching nearly to the floor. Upon one table were a few books and a number of photographs of friends arranged a painted shell upon a wire stand; over the mantel was a strip of dark crimson velvet paper just the width of the piper from the shelf up, around which was a border like tho one asound the ceiling. This served to throw out in good relief the few aiticlea upon the mantel. Had I not known just how little it had taken to accomplish the change, I should have said they had been laying out consider able money in refurnishing their parlor; it seemed to have an air of elegance in every detail. Many make the mistake of overloading their rooms with fancy articles, and in this way inharmonious things get together that spoil the whole effect. A few selected with eood taste will give much better satisfaction. If your rooms are used a great deal, have your adorning of things that will bear usage, and leave delicate things for those who can re- nlace them oftener. Haircloth and cane fur niture are not very fashionable now, out u you are to have them about you a good many years without replacing them with new, they will look better at the end of ten years' wear than the cheap upholstered colored furniture, of which there is so much sold now, and with the addition of some of the fancy coverings now used can bo made to look exceedingly pretty. Tidies made of strips of bright flannel, cashmere or cloth, alternated and worked with gold silk where they are joined, and fringe at the lower end, make a very durable covering for a chair back; this can be lined with muslin and a sheet of wadding put be tween, then ticked fc the back of the chair and thrown over en the front, and will re main in place. To use up the very smallest scraps of rash mere and silk, a soft pillow can be made in this way : For the fonndation knitting uso black Germantown wool; set up forty stitches on coarse needles, knit the firtt row across in plain garter knitting; in the next row after knitting the first stitch place a small strip of cishmere or silk between the stitches, anil knit again; do this along the whole row; knit the next row plain, and the following one tho same as the second. The silk will be all like tufts on one side; when it is finished it can be sheared a little close and made to look ike plush. The center can be made of all dark and strips of mingled light shades made for a border around the square. The one I aw was all mingled through light and dark, and was very rich looking. Flowers and Vines In the Bouts. The 'Morning Glory' can be propagated in parlor windows, where there is some sun, to pcrfection.during the winter; its flowers with it natural colors, and the delicite little vine can be made to run over tho window. A hanging vase is the prettiest for this. Suspend an acorn by a cotton thread so as nearly to touch the water in a glass vessel, (a hyacinth glass is parhapa the best), set upon the window or mantel, and let it remain there for eight or ten weeka, more or less, without being interfered with, except to supply the evaporation of the water, and the acorn will burst, and as it throws a root down into the water, a sprout or stem will be sent upward, throwing out beautiful little green leaves; thus giving you, an oak tree, in full life and health within your parlor. There are many of the mosses which can be very successfully grown in the house through the winter, and with the foregoinp afford an interesting and refined enjoyment to the feminities of the family, and a real pleas ure to all who have a taste for the beautiful to witness. We trust to tee a greater inclina tion ot the ladies to introduce into their houses this most agreeable addition to their domestic pleasure. Gtrmantoum Telvjraph. A lady writer in Park' floral daititt tells of a pretty ornament for the window, which any one could avail themselves of, thus; I selected an old earthen meat dish which bad been cranked, and filled it with soil from the woods; 1 then got some pretty mosses and grasses from the woods and planted them in the middle of the dish, and next planted what we call wild plantain, around the grasses. This plant hss a leaf about an inch long, the under tide of which is white and the upper part green with white downs. I then put little curious rocks between the plants. I kept it in a north window or some shady I lace and well watered, and it makes a besu tiful bed of rock work for tin; house. Jtnr Jfhw iihWArtn. ," '" v SCHOOL'S BROKEN UP.

It is a good thing to have faith; it keeps up good heart at all times and under all circumstances. Hope comes next, but, as the Bible says, charity is greatest. Some of our little girls have written that they hoped Aunt Hetty would tell about her trip and liai many good wishes to her for a pleasant visit. There were many things that Aunt Hetty would like to tell about if' she were a good story writer; as it is, she will try and tell a story as it was told to her while sitting in a car going from San Jose to Los Gatos. We were sitting by a gentleman who seemed very nice, and evidently kuowingtli.it we were a stranger, tried to make the time pass agreeably. He was engaged in making piper, and got on the cars near tho place where it was manufactured. After explaining in a very interesting way the manner of mak ing paper from old cloth, wood pulp and all sorts of stuff that would generally be consid ered of no value, be told about the building itself. It seems that the factory is most ele gant; it is built of polished wood, mahogany and other valuable sorts of lumber, altogether costing an immense sum of money. Mr. Lick, who died in California some years aeo, loav ing much wealth to charitable and scientific purposes, erected this fine building just to gratify a sentimental whim. It was intended for a flour mill, and was used soino timo for that purpose. It teems that when Mr. Lick was young he was living in the State of Penn sylvania, and a poor young man. While thero he became acquainted with a sweet young girl, the daughter of a Dutchman who owned a mill, and was considered to bo pretty well off. The girl riturncd tho love ot her poor admirer, but when he asked the father for her as a wife the old gentleman said no very de cidedly, jutt because he said ho -raj not rich enough. So theBB lovers were separated, Mr. Lick coining out to California with a broken heart, and he never did marry at all. Whui he left his sweetheart hu told her that some timo he would own a mill better than her fathers; so he did not forgot his vow, lit spent four hundred thousand dollars in put ting up a mill of most elegant architecture, and making the yard and grounds most beau tiful. After it was all done he had a nice laree picture taken of it and tent it to the old man, who no doubt could have eaten his own heart out with disappointment when be taw what a rich ton-inlaw ha bad missed. The mill is now a paper mill, and I guess this sheet of the Fakmer was made there. Is not that a nice little love story to tell, all A true story, too. Next week we will tell another that was teld to us. but it is a sad tale to tell. Ida must consider that the story was told for her, ss she said the hoped to hear some thing about California. Ida writes a very nice letter, and could tell a story herael! if the only would try. It is nice for her to tew and piece quilts, but she ought to practice compo sition, too. "The "Farmer's Dtugnter" wroto ou Thanksgiving Day, and wrote a splendid little Utter, too. She must write sgain and tell all she knows about that day, when it was first chosen, aad why the day Is kept and how it is kept. Nettie wriUs again, tbeugb only a short letter. The next will be longer, I hope. Don't forget to take care of little Ted, the bin), who pays well for all oare by tinging so sweetly. Nettie is lucky to .have a dear grandmother to love her and take her part, for grandmothers are apt to be more consider ate and thoughtful of the children than mothers are. I hope Nettie watches to see how much she can do to help and please her crandmother, who has hurt herself. OBroos City, Nov. 30, 1882. Editor Home Circle . I thorjKht I wouM write a few Unit, as I have not written for a long time. I should very much like to take a trip to the coast, as Delia dii), It has heen quite rtlny toily. This is Thanksgiving.

Scio, Or., Nov. 27, 1882. Editor Home Circlo: I was sorry to seo in last week's paper but two letters. Katie S must write aiain, for I am sure we all like to read her letters. It has been raining, but I think it is almost cold enough to snow to-night, I um piecing a quilt called the square Rocky Mountain. I have a fuschia, geranenm, bridle, rose, dew plant and cherry two kinds of geraucums and two or three kinds of fuschics. I wint to keep them over winter if Iran. My little brother has two ducks and one old ganrier. He bought a ptir of geese, and in four days the old gooso died. The diphtheria is pretty bad in Scio just now. Aunt Hetty must tell us all about her trip to San Fratici'co, and about Wood ward's Gardens. Aunt Hetty must come out heio some time and 8ie us. We have no school this winter. Please put my name on the temperance roll. Hoping to hear from the girls and boys, I will send Aunt Hetty one of my cards. I remain yours truly, Ida Mcmcfrs. IIknton CouNTy, Nov. 23, 18S2. Editor Homo Circle : As I have not written for some time, I will send a few lines. I miss the letters and Aunt Hetty's talk. I hope Aunt He ty had a pleas ant trip to California. Grandma fell and hurt heis-ll. I have no pets but a bird; his name is Ted; he is singing all tho time. I don't go to school, but 1 study at home. Please put my name on the temperance roll. My love to Aunt Hetty. Nkttie M. Grounds. Mr. T. S. Gillihau, who lives on the river bottom three miles below Vancouver, brought into the ImlejHtulent ollice, seven rice smooth Early Rose potatoes, which weigh 14 pounds. They were not planted until after high water, on the 15th of July, giving a little over four mouths for their eaaon. He harvested at the rate of 200 bushels to the acre on that late planting.
