Newspaper Page TextWILLAMETTE FARMER: PORTLAND OREGON, SEPTEMBER 21, 1883. nrrenf iterator.. THE BEVEN PLAQUES OF THE CORN CROP AH the world's a crop, And a'l the peats ami inaects merely humbugs; They havo thtir exits and their entrances, And one pest in its time plays many part, Its acts being seven stagts. At first the frost, Kipping and killini all the tender buds. Then the sudetn rain ttorm, with its s rong And rushing eagerness, sweeping like a stream Unfettered through the fields. And tin cyclone, Roaring like a furnace, with a shrieking wail, S oops down upon the grain. 1 hen the bettle, Full of strange sounds, and wildly clawing legs, Jualous of rivals, sudden and quick in biting, S eking the gobbling inflation. E'm in the cornfield's cars. Then the grass hopper, Of expensive stomach, with good grain tops lined, With eyes bulged out and wings of crooked cat, Full of steel saws and modern improvements, So he can play his part. The sixth stage shifts Into the lean and slippery army worm. With a most ravenous maw and appetite, His wrigiiling shape well saved, a world too thin For what he eats; and his big, hungry mouth, Turning again to pastures green and fresh, bites, And then crawls in the ground. Last scene of all, That ends this strange, but truthful, history, la old Jay Gould, who gaily gobbles up The crops, the stocks, the lambs and every thing. a i Dora's Trial. "I do wish," huM l'rudence Hull, hold ing her darning needle in mid-air for 11 moment over the course blue nock hIio was m. riding, "I do wish you could bco your way clear to marrying Suth 1 Lillet. Ii want 8 you the worst kind, and he'd bo each 11 good provider." "Hut I don't like him well enough, J'nidy; and I want something besides meat and drink, and two calico dresses 11 year." Mrs. l'rudence J Tall had sprained her ankle, and was forced, sorely against her will, to sit day after day in an upper chamber, with a terrible consciousness that everything about the farm was re lapsing into chaos and old night, for want of hcroversight. Her pretty sister, Dora, had come to stay with her; hut she was only u child. "There lire two kinds of loo in this world," said Mrs Hull, aflei a pause, in which she had been taking counsel with herself whether D0111 was old enough to bo talked to on such mutters at all, and it flashed upon her Unit the ehil . was nearly twenty J ears old. "IVihapsjou like Seth well enough lomairy hiin,cmh m don't know it." "loll 1110 uliotit nut two kinds or low, said Doia, innocently "I thought low was low, the woild owi " "I haw unwi known but one kind, I think, Dora When I maniid D,iid Hall, ho was the most well In do poling man in tliri-o pails, and no ticwi had a quauel while he Imil Ho was a good, piactical toil of 11 man, and he ncwi asked 1110 to do an thing umeasonable " "What if he had?" asked D01.1 "Well, I guess Itould Ium1111g1u.il him out of it. lint theio is a kind of love that will draw women thiough liio and wiltei, It makes them tliiow tlii'iiiM'lwri tway on jiooi, shiftless men that will level provide for them not theii eliildieu, and they know it as well us an.vbod) oKo does.

".Such love hi ings happiness Mimetiiues, I suppose," said Dora "Not to never," said l'rudeiiio, with gieat decision. "Wo ain't made to be happy, and an.v thing that's tix good ul wavs leaves a bad taste in the mouth Comfoit is a bird in the hand and you do not gam an) thing bv letting it lly on the chance of happiness " "Duljouevei know anyone about heie, Prudence, that threw heiself awav foi love It seems to me they won't look at II man unless he has a hoiiso and a faun ill! toady for them " "Th i's wore they uie right," said I'm deuce "You me rather given to high living notions, nnil its time you found that blond don't grow icadv butteied Yes, I did know one girl who was pietty audsiuail, and had 110 end of chances to got uiairiod, 1 think ny David oouitixl hoi a spoil, but ho never would own it, and she would havo that shiftless orittei, .loo Kay mond, who never could makeoue hutul wash the other. Kvon when she was .1 dving she protended that she had Uvn happy, and wouldn't haw done no other way if she had to do it over again " "Was she our Joe's mother?" asked Dora, imk'kh "Yes, to lu sure; and when she died we took him to bring up and work on the farm. He's more than paid his way, but he's 11 nilling stone, like his father, and won't ever oome to any thing, I for got to tell you he's going to-morrow " "Going to-morrow ?" cried Dora with 11 giv.it start. "1 thought his time wasu' out tor another month?" "Well, it ain't out rightly till he's tvvvuty-ono; but ho was in such a groat hurry to bo oil' that I guv u him the but month."

Herlittle feet had walked in easy paths, and Prudence yearned ocr her like .1 mother. As she sat now by the open fire, bend ing her graceful head over some delicate work that Prudence would never havo found time for, her red drcs and the flick 1 ring fire-light made her a picture too lovely for that dull rdom. "Prudence," said hc, suddenly, "as this is Joe's last night, I think I'll go down and s.iy good-bye to him." "You might call him up here." "No ; J will go myself." "I believe I hawn'tevcr told you, Dora, how much jou pleaed me by giving up that childish way of going on with him, that jou used to have. It did very well for you to bo fond of one another when you wero little, but of otirse it is out of the question now." It might have been the lire-light and the red dress that brought such u vivid Hush to Dora s check as she listened and turned away. She ran lightly down stairs and opened the door of the great farm kitchen. A young man sat by the fire, looking into it us one looks into the eyes of an enemy before the fight an over-grown farmer loy, in homemade clothes, with nothing about him to fall in love with, least of all for tho brilliant little figure that stood waiting for him to look up Ho was too intent on his own thoughts to notice her till she went swiftly across the room, and, taking his head between her hands, turned his foco up to hers. "Joe, bad boy, weie you going away without letting mo know?" The hard lines of his face softened and brightened under her ga.o till one would not have known him for the s.imo man. "I thought that I would not see you to night, he said "You know you know I wou'd havo crept through tho key-holo for one little last minute with you." "How long will jou wait for me, Dora?" "Till you come hack." "If it were seven years, think how long it would be." "If you loved mo as you make me be hove," said Dora, "you would not go n way, but would work here until you could build a little house, and then wo could rough it together." "No, little Dor.i, that is not my kind of low; my mother tried that and she lived u slave's life." Dora! Dora!" ciied Prudeneo f rom up stairs; "what on earth are you doing down there?" "1 must go, now, I must truly," said Doia, as she felt herself locked in arms that would not give way.

"Well, I hoo ho will piolit by it.J' "So do J," said Doia heartily "I'is as easy to say seven jf.irs as one, and wo read of Jacob's seven years' service for Haohel, which seemed but as one day for the lovo that he boro hoi.

"Teach school! I guos not said her father when she broached her plan to him "You uin't starving vet, mid if you want Mime now furbelows, just say mOiihI not 001110 111 slautiu' ways like that."

I ain't williu' and that's the end on't." Hut this was not tho end on't, and Dora easily obtained 11 m'IumI. Sho dc v eloped a governing talent that charmed tho committee-men, and tho congenial lalmr in tho company of little children took her out of herself, and infused now lite into her hope deferred. r...,,!! ,r..,uy,., l-.verv week she walked up to the txvit- ice, three nulo away, to ask font letter, olhce. going in with a Hush on either cheek, and coming out pile and dull-ejcd, alter the stnb of rimpiKjintmcnt.

Much -ealed happiness pacs through their hands , but they have to refuse many 11 "Mariana in tho Moated Cirange, weary women who reach a hand out of then dull lives for a letter and and draw it back empty. It was far into the second year before Joo'a first letter came. It was surely a fanciful and foolish thing fora schoolmis tress to do, but Dora carried it to her ow 11 tittles room and put on tho red dress be fore she read Joe's letter. Joe was working in the mines in Colo rado. His luck had not yet como in nuggets at least, but hard work and sober living were slowly giving him the advantage over the other miners. Ho was never so -well and he loved her better than all the world. Dora lived on this letter for many weeks, and she set "Colorado" for a copy so often to her scholars that they will write that word better tlun any other. Iettcrs came oftcner as years drew on ; sometimes Joo was up in world, some times down ; once his carefully hoarded gold was stolen from him, and ho had to Ixsgin all ovei again; but this was noth ing to a long illness, in which a fiiend wrote to D0111 as soon as Joo was out of danger. Then she env icd the doves their wings. Now Year's day was the hardest of all to bear. She could not help a stiong prcssuio of ONciteincnt when she put on the red dress, which grew more and 111010 old fashioned, and watch d the sun go down on tho roid which Joo must ti.ncl should ho return home. Tho next morn ing she fitted her shoulders sadly to the burden of another jcar. One young farmer after another found his way to tho old farm houso on Sunday evenings, and Dor.i pushed them down an inclined plane of discouragement so gently that they had hardly known whether they had intended to court her or not. It was not tho least of her trials that she had to meet the entreaties of her mother and the rough arguments of her father when 0110 or two more persistent suitors would take nothing lebs than "no" for an answer. Dora could give no reasons for sepcat ed refusals to marry, except that sho loved no one well enough .1 reason which would bo all sufficient if parents remain ed immortally young, but it loses its weight after tTixty. As tho seventh year drew to a close, Dora's heart beat light within her. Joe had mentioned seven years, as though ho intended to come homo then, at any iate. She wore out the first day of tho "(Had New Year" with busy caro until late in tho afternoon, when an old man spent with much walking stopped to rest him self in the fuim house kitchen. Prudence be-tirud heisclf to ghohini a hearty lun cheon, and when he was win in and fed ho liec'in to talk of his travels. He had been to seek his fortune all ovei tho West, but not finding, returned to dio at home. Ho mentioned Colorado and Den ver, and when Doia found huiclf alone for a moment, sho said, "Did you over see .lii-eph Itayniond in IVnvoi?' "Joo Raymond? Oh, jes' T know him lived with him nigh onto a month His wife wnsii wal good cook louldn't be In at nowheio in them part-" "You say ho was m.iuied'" "To be sure, a right sin.iit feller, and might j fond of his wife Women 111 e scmco out theio." Piudenco oaino in and the old man went on his way all uncon-cious of the great stono ho had east into the -till wa ters of Dora's heart. "What's the mutter'" said Piudence, "jou'ie as white us a sheet," ' Doia's only answer was to start out of tho house and run, as for hei life, down t io (10en orchaul path, bj which she could gain upon and ovoitake this ten i blo old man. She might have said, with "holy Herbert," My thoughts 1110 all u c.i-o of knives, Wounding my hcuit With -0111101011 siniut, only niNeij inu-t t.iko tune to cijstaluo into a mommy before it takes tho form of pootiy. She Mood before the old man at the tinning, bare-headed ami bivathless, "How did tho Joo Raymond look that you lived with?" gasped Doia "I nevti said 'Joo Raymond,'" -aid tho old iniin, peevishly; "I s.ud 'Jim Raj iiiond ' Thoj had a big boj named Joo, who " but D01.1 was oil' again before he could finish the -1 utouco. Sho ran bick thiough tho orchard, giving thanks with all hei bout that she had not sulleiod herself to be persuaded of Joe's faithle-siiess atone healing. Her fooling of grateful awe, as if she had - eaiiod from sudden death, lopt her twin mourning much over tho paving uu of the seventh anniversarj of Joe's de parture with no sign of his let urn His letters had wholly ceu-od and tlieru was nothing loft for Dora but to po-soss her soul with patience, W lion another Now Year daw nod upon her, she put on the old red dross more from h.tfiit than gleamed of Iioim in her heart, and she did not care to look 111 the gl 1 In the twilight she walked slowly down tho or chard path, and loaned 011 the gate that oiienod into tho road. Suddenly a man sprang from behind the wall. "Theodora, my gift ofGodl'" ho said , and Dora, though she recognized no mark of the lover who had left her eight years before, felt that no other know that pass-word, and (tillered herself to roM silently in his arms in tho inell'ablp content that comes after long waiting. When Joo and IVni wont into tho houo and sho looked at him by o.indle-light.her heart almost misgave her, his luxuriant Kurd and the manly assurance of his manners wore not at all like the Joo of Moved memory, and n terrible Kirrie'r seemed to rio up IsMwoon them, while i 1 !.:...i 1.. .!.... s.i. 1 1 n 111101100 ivniiiiiioi 111 iiiuiuuiu wiui nor comiuny manners, which sat moro awk-l wardlyupon her than her Sunday gown. When Dora tiptoed softly by her sister's door nt a ery late hour that night, Pru dence was ljing awake for her. "Don't tell me," she said, "that you've been wait ing for that Joe Kaymond all this time!" "I won't tell you if you don't want to hear it," said Dora. "Do you know whether he came home any better ofl than when hn went nwnv-V" "I leally haven't thought to ask him." said Dora, carelessly. Prudence groaned and turned her face to the wall. Joo waited only till tho next day to tell Mrs. Hall the story of his success, which looked very moderate in his traveled eyes but seemed a noble fortune to her homely ideas. "I never thought before," said Dora's father at the wedding, "that a woman could keep a secret ; and I guess it ain't much more common than snow in dog days." "How long would you have waited for me?" said Joe, in Doia's cur. "Forever," said Dora, solemnly. And Mrs. Prudence Hall, as she over heard the svoid, thanked her stars that Dora's foolish notions hud not wrecked her on a poverty stricken marriage. THE BAD BOY. "Why don't jou take an ice pick and clean the diit out from under your finger nails," said the grocery man to the bad boy, as ho came in and stroked the cat the wrong way, as she lay in the sun on the counter, on 11 quire of manilla jui per. "Can't lemove the diit for thirty days Its an emblem of mourning. Had a funeral .it our house J esterday," and the boy took a pickle out of the tub and put it into the cat's mouth, and shut her teeth together on it, and then went up to the show case, while the grocery man, whose back had been turned during the pickle exercise, thought . by the way the cat jumped into the dried apple barrel and began to paw and scratch with all four of her feet and yowl, that she was going to havo a fit. " I hadn't heard about it," said the grocery man, us he took the cat by the neck and tossed her out in the back shed into nn oj'ster box full of sawdust, with a parting injunction that if she was going to have fits she'd better go out where there was plenty of fresh air. " Death is always a sad thing to contemplate One day we are full of health, joy and cold victuals, and tho next we aro screwed down in a box, a few vvoids said over our remains, a few tears are shed, and thero is a race to see who shall get back from the cemetery first, and though wo may think we are an important factor in tho world's progress, nnd sometimes feel as though it would be unable to put up iniu gins and have to Mop tho deal, tho world goes light along, and it must annoy peo ple who die, to realize that they don't count for game. The greatest man in tho world is only a nine-snot when he is dead, because somebody else takes the tucks that tlie dead man ouglit to liavo taken. Hut, say, who is dead at your hou-e?" ' Our rooster. Take caie, don't j on hit me wit 11 that canvased ham, said tho boj us the gtoceiy man looked mad to leant that theio was nobody dead but a looMci, when ho hid pleached such a sermon on the subject " Yes, soon weaie foigottiu when we aro gone. Now, jou would have thought that loo-ter's hen would havo lcmained faithful to him ,1 week at least I have watched them all the spi nig, and I never saw a moie pei- foct picttue of devotion than that be tween tho bantam rooMei and hen. They weio constantly togethei, and there was nothing too good for her. llo would dig up angle vvoims and call her and when she canio up on a gallop and saw tho grout big angle woim on tho ground, she would look so proud of her looMer and ho would straigliten up and look as though he was s.ijing to her, 'I'm a daisy,' and then she would look at him as if sho would like to bite him, and just us she was going to pick up tho worm he would snat'-h it and swallow it himself, and elmcklo and walk around and be full of business, as though wondering why she didn't take tho worm after ho had dug it for her, and then the hen would look disappointed at first, and then sho would look resigned, as much as to say, ' Worms are too rich for my blood any way, and tlm poor dear looster needs them mm 0 than I do, because ho docs all the crowing,' and she would go off and eat a grasshopper and eat it on tho sly foi fear ho would seo her and comnlain because sho didn't divide. O, I h wo never seen mi) thing that seemed to 1110 so human as the relations between that rooster and hen. He seemed to try to do everything for her He would make her stop cack ling when she laid an egg, nnd he would Itiy to oaoklo and crow over it a though ho had laid it, and sho would go on in a corner nnd cluck in a modest, retiring manner, as though she wished to convey to the scnant girl- in tho kitchen that tho rooster had to do all the hard work, and she was only n useless appendage, lit only for society, and company for bun. Hut 1 was disgusted with him when the poor hen was sotting. Tho first week that she sat on the eggs he seemed to get along first rate, because ho had a couple of llovver beds to dig up, which a press of business had caused him to neglect More, and 11 couple of neighbor's gar dons to destroy, so ho teemed to Imj glad to lime his hen retire to her boudoir and sot, but after he had been shooed out of the garden and llower bods he seemed to bo nervous, and evidently wanted to Isj potted, and ho would go near the hen and she would seem to tell him to go and take n walk around the block, because she hadn't tune to leave her business, and if sho didn't attend to it they would havo a lot of spoiled eggs to attend to, and no family to tiring up. He would soold, . . . .. p . . .. . ami seem to toll nor that it wa all fool- Isline. - , that for his part he didn't want to hear it lot of cmekens iouawkml- a mild. Ho would seem to argue that a brood of chickens would be n dead give awnyon them both, and they would at once lie classed as old folks, while if they weio nlono in the world they would be spring chickens, and could go in society, but the hen would scold back, and tell him he ought to bo ashamed to talk in that way, and ho would go off mad nnd sulk around a -pell, and then go to a neighbor's hen-house and sometimes he wouldn't como back till the next day. The hen would ho sorry she had spoken so cros, and would look anxiously for his return, and when he came back after being in the rain all night, she would be solicitous nbout his health, nnd tell him he ought to wrap soinetliing'nround him, but he acted as though ho didn't care for his health, and he would go out again a ul get chilled through. Finally the old hen got off the nest with ten chickens, and tho rooster seemed very proud, nnd when nnybody came out to look at them he would crow, nnd seemed to say they were his chickens, though the hen was a long time hatching them, and if it had been him setting on them ho could havo hatched them out in a week, or died a trying. But the exposure told on him, and he went into 11 decline, and one morning wo found him dead. Do you know that I never see n hen that seemed to realize a calamity as she did. She 1 joked pale, nnd her eyes looked red, and she seemed to bo utterly crushed. If tho chickens, who weie so j-oung they could not realize that thej were little oipluns, became noisy, and hauling over a woim, and conducted themselves 111 an un seemly manner, she would talk to them in hen language, with tears in her eyes, and it was a pictuio of woe. But the next day a neighboring rooster got to looking through the fence fiom the alley, and trying to flirt with her. At first she was indignant and seemed to tell him he 0 .ght to go about his business, and le.iv e her alone, but the dude kept cuckling, anu pretty soon the widowed hen edged up tovvnrds the fence nnd nsked him to come in, but the hole in the fence was too small for him, and then tho chickens went out in the alley, and the lien follow ed them. I shall always think she told the chickens to go out, so she would have an excuse to go after them, and flirt with the rooster, and I think it is a perfect shnme. She is out in the alley half the time, nnd I could cuff her. It seems to me wrong to so soon foi get a deceased rooster, but I suppose a hen can't be any more than human, Say, you don't want to buy a good dead rooster, do you ? You could pick it nnd sell it to some one that owes you for a spring chicken. "No, I don't w ant any deceased poultry, that died of grief, nnd you better go home and watch your hen be bereaved sonic more," nnd the groceiy man went out in the shed to see if the cat was over its fit, and when ho came back the boy was gone, and after a while the giocerj man saw a crowd in fiont of the stoie and he went out and found the dead rooster lying on the vegetable stand, with a paper pinned on its breast on which was a sicn. "This raster dido of coin. Foi salo eheen to boarding house only." Ho took the dead rooster and threw it out 111 the stiect, and looked up and down thc-tiectfoi the bad boj', nnd went in nnd hid a law hulo wheio ho could icacli it handy Milwau kee Sun.
