They read more, think more, mi 1 write moro than the laboring classes The differenco between the educated and mi- located portions of society in a real tliU'cicncc. Now a proud anil lay fellow may rail at tl s ve ir at this, and havo his labor for his .mis. Thtro is only ono wayrtallyto get over it, and that is to rear up a generation of, e U educated, thinking, reading farmers and luothanicK. Your skill and industry are I, It; and they put you in this- lcspects ahead of any other lass, .lu-t as soon os your londs arc felt as much as jour hands am, fioy will bring you to the top. Many of our best fanners aiu men of great i .ttur.il shrew dneas; but wh u they wtre ) ling, they "hail no elnnte of learning " Tin v feel tho loss, anil tiny am giving their tlildren tho best edueition ihty can.

They do not t tpect to rt turn tn it. The idei of eei ding a hoy to the school, the academy, an 1 the tnlltge, uud then li t nig linn go luck to fann ing, is regarded as n ineie waste of tune ami money.

There is no reason why men of tho very highest education should not go to a farm for living. If a sou of mine weio brought up on purpose to bo a farmer, if that was the railing which he preferred, I still would cdti eato him if ho had common senso to In gin with. He would bo aa much better for it as a farmer as ho would aa a lawyer. There ia uo reason w hy a tliop uglily scientific educa tion ahould not be g'neu to oory farmer and every mechanic. Iffnry Waul lletthtr, in Flotrers, Fntit ami FiiniiiiHj, Cornelius J. Palmer. The subject ot this sketch was horn in Terre Haute, Indiana, September 14, 1S22. At tho age of 20, in the year 18.11, he came to this toast. A little more than one-half of hia life, therefore, haa been spent in tins part of the laud, that we call more particularly our own. He was one of the pioneers of the Pa cific Northwest. Those who came to this country at as oariy a day aa he, have now lie come a ery small company. They would be easily numbered, and the enumeration of them will be incre-asingly less and Itsa difficult. Those pioneers, of the lumber of whom Mr. Palmer was a genuine representative, were barely men, who love much of the burden and danger of the settlement of the country. We cannot but renminbi r them with gratitude. The comforts of cmliution, ao far aa we have them, have come to ua largely upon their shoulders It was a different thing coming to this country 30 years ago from what it is now. A six months' mis by an ox team or a ait mouths' voyage half around the world, in atead of a two weeks' ride by rail, was the means of getting here, and unless one was here, past tho penl, genuine perils, too, of storm, and heat, and cold ; and of etana tiou, and of Indians (all of in know how many early immigrants left their bones somewhere on the plains, neer setting foct opm the laud of their hopes) ; past all these dangers, out e here, one was icawly Iwtter tnan bur led, as far us the ouUide world was con crrnesl. M ill came around about once a ) ear. No telegraph existed. One might die tee and not be wept for until inoutts after by father, or mother, or frirmla, who were still prajiiigfnr him at among the living. One might die here and parent or friends never learn hit ft.t-, to many t'io Mudi of accidents and o uucertain the n euis of commuuira- WILLAMETTE FARMER: PORTLAND, OREGON, DECEMBER tion. ft was because such men as Mr. Palmer carr.o here and lived that our country out here liecamc valuable in the eyes of the rot of the world, and that II this is now changed. Whatever there was of danger, whatever there was of loneliness, whatever there waa of dread in this pioneer life, he bore pvtitntly and courageously ; and we en joy tho fruits of his labor. This pioneer life has been spent very largt ly upon the banks of the Columbia He early engaged in the mercantile business at the Cascades, and was very successful. In 1850, thm 34 years of age, occurred the Cas cade maspacrc, in which 17 white men were killed. Among those slain was a brother of Mr. Palmer. The massacre occurred at the Upper Cascades. Mr. Palmer himself was at the Middle Cascades, and so escaped. In 18."0, Mr. Palmer suffered the accident which made him partly an invalid the re mainder of his life. He fell from a bridge which spanned a gorge, upon a bed ot rock. His left side has been paraljzed ever sine. Ho spent a year at Hood river, and another year here, living in the family of Mr. Jose lynn, the man who might be called the patri arch of White Salmon. In 1862 he went upon the place where he died, being, during the last two years of his feeblencs, in the csro of Mr. Eagan. Having lived so long in the sight of the Columbia, it seems very fitting that his dust he upon the lull top always overlooking it. No man ever Hied and died without leav ing something to regret. No man ever passed through life without wishing that some things m'ght be changed. There wore opportunities for tloing good that were not Used. Tht re were tempeatioua to doing bad that were not resisted. There were yearn ings alter Gotl that were allowed to die, as tender trees die without care. None but the all perfc;t One, the Son of God, and the Si n of Man, can look across the broken years of a lifetime and think that it was all fair. All lives ore very much checkered. Wo would fain beliove thcro is good in the most of them, as we know that there is bad in the Lest i f them. But when death comes across a life, what is it that we remember! How the bad S' cms to crumble and sink out of sight, and the g od appeals without so many stains. A j onng man tlies. wo no iut remember his indolence, his waywardness, his unkindness, low ever little or much these may have s'ninetl his character, antl these are deep stains. Hut how fondly wo will dwell upon tho manliness, the courage, tho thoughtful ness, tho cheerfulness, the honesty, that every now and then were breaking through the clouds of his lower self. A young woman dies. We forget tho little fiivolities, and vanities, and ptttincss that n-rribly mar many a fair one, but we remem ber the womanliness, and devotion, and kind lies, and piety tl at are as beautiful as the gems of morning. One comes to his death in full age. What ho has done well we would inscribe upon his tombstone, w litre all may read. What ho has dono badlj-w e would bury deep under the ground, This is because1 there is .iu eter nal distinction between light and wrong. Go id is not the same as I ad ; selfishness and dishorn i are not tho same as love and integ- ritj. Fvil is not worthy of remembrance. It is worthy only of oblivion and torgttfuhics. Let it rest ; let it decay ; put it out of sight, and of m nd as tpj'cklj' as possible. But good is worthy of everlasting remembrance, to in hibit tlKittern.il mansion and shine forever and ever. Death tradicatcg tho bail, con sumes it, but has no power to mar tho g od. No tlotrotr cau destroy righteousness. The daj- tho death-day shall try our work by the. Wo may be building with gold, or silier, or stones, wood, clay or stubblo ; but u lit n dea'h passes over our work, only the substan tial stnuos, und gold, and silver can remain. The wood, and clay, and stubblo must be swept aw ay into smoke. . We are all sinful enough, all imperfect enough. God only knows how much we lack, and the righteousness of God, the All Merciful One, the All-Atouing One, alono can stand us in store through life, and death, and eter nity. Into his hands we commit our spirits ; into hia hands wo commit the soula of our f i ieuds. Hia everlasting arms are around and a'nut one underneath, and the Judge of all the earth will alwaya tin right, Mr. Neal Power's life has now the great real of death upon it. To us in lines of living light, the good that he has done should alwaya bo visible. But we need not seek his merits to disclose, Nor draw his frail ties from their elreal abode; They alike in trembling hope repose. The bosom of hia Father and his Goel. For him the labors, tho Bufferings, the op portunities of this life are ended. Hut for ua the labors, the suilerings, the opportunities of time still remain. Oh, how this dead one be fore ua appoali, in tones clearer than the liv ing can command, like the voice of good Abel's blood crying from the ground, that we ahould wry on ou labor 'a energetically and honestly, that we should endure our sufferings patient ly and liravely, that we should improve our opportunities well, until life be ended. Then we need not be afraid of leaving hopes when we go through death, but only gaina. Trotting Stock. There ia a conatantlj- increasing demand for American trotting-breet horses in all parts ol the world, and scarcely a w ek passes that aome are uot aent to foreign countries. This ia an assurance of the necessity of our farmers aiding in the circulation of a journal whose columns will be devoted to the development of all stock whoae poiuU can be utilized to advance the breexl of American stock, which has such a wide field as the blue gran region of Kentucky and the broad prairiea with the rich v.illejaof tho West and Middle States.

Boys In South The following letter wo tnkc from the Col fax Gazrtte, and it is readable as well as the experience of two "native" boj-s of this country in that far-away country and land of promise : Colony California, Province of Santa Fe, October 12, 1882. Dear Father Wo arrived in Buenos Ayres on the 1st of September, after a very pleasant ocean voyago of forty two days. From there we wont by rail and boit to San Nicholas, a small city in the Province of Buenos Ayres, whtio wo met with a Mr, Crawford, a pioneer of this country, who vol unteered to accompany us in our travels, and his company was very acceptable, from the fact that he could talk Spanish and we could not. We started from San Nicholas by stage over as fine a country as one would care to see. Stage riding here is very exciting. We started with eight horsta hitched to the stage (horses being saddled, instead of harnessed,) by a rope or chain fastened to a ciech ring and only two lines, both on the lead hcrsts. It lakes two men to run such an outfit, one to dnve and the' other to whip. We started at a run, with the "engineer" applying his whip at every jump, keeping up the gait for three leagues, when one ot the horses dropped dead and another was caught from off the grass and put in his place, and on we went to Rossaro, the New York of Argentine Itepublic, and from thero to ban Javier, a small village on tho banks of a river bearing the same name, and an arm of the great river, Parana, navigable to this poiut. Here we find plenty of timber, something we did not see in the lower provinces, except occasion ally a bamboo.tret. The trees here are the algaroba and cobratcha, both fine timber for making wagons and furniture, aud the nan-tl-ey, which makes the finest fence post in the world; once put in tho giouutl, they never need resetting. A few wcro taken up here a short time since which were planted over a hundred years ago, and found in i-s good con dition as when first placed in the ground. We find no saw mills here. In their stead vvo find the whip saw is used. Houses are generally made of brick; still there is timber here for all purposes if they only had ma chinery to work it up, but the country is new as j-et, and until the Calitornia colony came hero it was inhabited by Indians, El Padre, the priest, being the only white man in the place ; but Moore and his handful of followers not only run them out of tho country and k lied many of them, but caused them and tho gouch to have a horror ct the guerriago, as they call foreigners. The)- are very differ ent from oar Indians. Here all they care for is to steal ; there they want blood. The s il of Argentine is not spotted as it is n the Pacific Coast, but the same all over, a rich, black, Bandy soil that will grow any thing jou plant. Corn, wheat, oats, barley and all kinds of fiuits and vegetables do well, with the exception of apples, which do not grow so well as they elo in Oiegon and Wash ington. Nowhere on the Pacific Coast can you tintl oranges halt so eoocl tho natives almost live on them. Thero is verj" little farming elone here, but wlnt is do'ie is well paid for. Corn brings Jl antl wheat S2 per bushel, but even then people tlo not care to farm, while cattle paj flO per cent, per annum, and aro no trouble or oxpei en, I hoy uon t havo to put up hay for winter, as tho I'rass is green all the year round. Wo arrived here during the dryest aeuson of tho year and found the grass as ureen as in tho spring, anil people who have lived heie for years say they never saw it dry. A gueringo is exempt from tax for five years. McLanc, the manager of the Califor nia colouj-, who ca.ne here 17 years ago, says he has, paid but one tax' in that time. He is quite an old man, but says this is the place for him, and says it boats any part of Califor nia for climate. Two years ago the mercury indicated as high as 105, and the people haven't get over talking about it yet. The nights aro not sultry here as they are in the Eastern States, but it has its drawbacks as well as other countries. In tho swamps the mosquitoes prod a fellow as he passes through them. Once during the past 17 years the locust have destroyed the crops and even eaten all the leaves from the trees. We started with one of the colonists from San Javier to look at the camp as they call it hero nine leagues away. We traveled for seven days over tho most beautiful country it has peen my pleasure to see, just rolling enough to please the eye of an Oregoniao, covered with grass two feet high, and so thick that the ground cannot be seen. Small streams of water and groves of timber here there, and small lakes, on which fowl of every description swarm. I saw more deer in one day's travel than in all my life before. Land is offered for sale a mile square for 400, or a league for $2,000. There are 6,400 acres in a league. Spanish miles are longer than ours, ana they calculate a league will support 0,000 head of cattle. Our trip having cost ua some (2,000 more than we expected, we aro consequently short of money, and not being familiar with the Snauiah language, we are more or less embar rassed, but we are gradually picking up the lm;o of ths people, and traveling over the country aa beat we can. Wages are so low that an American would starve to death try ing to work, and a man without capital can do nothiug here. Oae must have money enough to buy a league of land. They will give time on part of the purchase money; tl eu a litt e.start in cattle aud he is all nght If he hain't got that, there ia na use for him in the -cuntry If yon or any of our fnenda at home feel foolish euougn to advance us uouey enough to secure a league of land.
