FREEDOM'3 HILL.
nr r II. SMITH
The world is wide the world la free,
The world is big enough f-r mo.
Nor I a bonded slave will lie
Hut dwell in my manly liberty.
And boldly forth a liriver nun
I start, her viried fields to scan,
C intent an humble sphere to fill,
If I but breathe on freedom's hill.
How many men or paltry rain
Submit to petty tyrants reign
And beg tn be the dint ird tool
To serve the follies of a fool ;
His every movements watch to seo
Whera they may sain by fht'ery,
And bonding low the cravm knee,
Thus .'awn away their liberty.
The man who estimates his worth
l)y what he holds of wealth on earth,
Althouijh he hath a large amount,
He still hath a base account.
Hut be of Ood-hkn principle
Of hone', independent will
Though e'er to 'poor, he is the man,
Who acts on noble nature's plan.
(iivo me to till the teeming soil
In sweet contentment I will toil.
And poverty, will brave you still :
For tin re I roam on freedom's hill.
And though destined to humbleness
To simplo.uod and homely dress,
Of more import thau all to me
Is honest, 'manly liberty.
SEED BY THE WAY-SIDE.
"While youth is so easily iiilluencpd
great c.iro should be tnkon as' to tho char
acter of reading matter allowed. There
lias been a series of articles lloating about
written apparently by one man, who has
developed a wonderful talent on the sub
ject of boyish pranks. "Peck's Bad Boy"
is the title of each absurdity. Admitting
that thcro arc some funny things got oil"
in recounting this imaginary boy, yet we
doubt if there is any good to come out of
this, but rather think thcro is a great
deal of harm comes by putting this sort
of thing in the minds of other boys, who
would never think of mischief if it wns
not suggested in this way. The boy and
girl of to-day is supreme. The good old
r-aying'that "a child should be sqen and
not heard" is null and void in accepta
tion. Children now do not respect age or
station; the father and mother stand
back ; they are often actually despised if
not up to conceived ideas of mod
ern style and times. Young folks
are forward, conceited and bad enough
without this sort of literature to abet
them, and the seed thus sown will often
fall where it will take root, oven in. stony
places. The literature of tho times is cal
culated to foster everything that is bad.
One of the four young boys who commit
ted suicido a few weeks ago here in Ore
gon was evidently induced to do so in a
moment of disgust, by the reading of a
dime novel, where the hero of the book
did this very thing. It may have seemed
to be heroic to dio in this way. One
scarcely ever sees a child now-a-.lays,nll are
incipient men and women j little spindle
legged boys with a cigar, a watch chain,
and a swngger as big as possible, carrying
a look of maturity that is painful to ono
who loves the frank, healthful bearing of
u child who has been properly reared
Our girls nro little apes of women ; we see
them going to school every day, with
banged hair, sky scraping hats, put on
with tho self-evident caro that shows a
r-tudy beforo tho glass j little chfrs that
ought to be tucked in a trundle bed go
iilqng to school with all tho airs o a
young lady grown. How good it would
be to see some sensible high-necked
aprons, sensible hats and broad, low
liceled shoes. Alas, the sweet littlo girl
i ' go.ne forever, or may only bo found
awav from cities and towns.
The Reversion of Sunflowers.
That tho sunflower follows the sun in
its westward journey is well known, but
when does it turn its face back again to
the east to greet tho morning sun? Mr.
C. A. White, of Washington, in a letter
to Nature, relates an incident which
throws somo light upon the subject. Ono
evening, ho says, during a short stay at a
village in tho summer of 1881, 1 took a
walk along the bank of a long irrigating
ditch just as tho sun was setting. Tho
wild variety of Helianthus grew abund
antly there, and I observed that tho faces
of. all. the flowers were, as is usual in the
clear sunset, turned to the west. Return
ing by the same path less than an hour
afterward, and immediately after the
daylight was gone, I found to my sur
prise, that tho greater part of thoso (low
ers had allready turned their faces full to
tho cast, in anticipation as it were, of the
sun's rising. They had in that short
time retraced tho semicircle, in tho tra
versing of which with the sun they had
spent the wholo day. But tho day and
night were cloudless, and apparently no
unusual conditions existed that might
have exceptionally affected the move
ments of tho flowers.
I doubt not, adds Mr. White, that many
persons like myself havo gupjod that
sunflowers remain all night with their
fates tq the west, as they are when tho
sunlight leaves them, and until they are
constrained hv the liclit of tho risinir sun
to the east again. It is not my rurpose I
'
to oiler any explanation of the plant
more than here recorded, but it seems to
mo improbable that it could have been
an exceptional instance ; and I only re
gret that no opportunity lias occurred to
repeat the observation.
Pear Blight.
The growing of the pear in grass as
protection against blight must be upon
the principle that cultivating the soil
stimulates a more copious flow of sap.
In our mind, it is an excessive supply of
sap, uncarbonized, that in a sultry, still
time starts the blight. Grass, so far as
keeping the ground cooler, checks an ex
cessive flow of sap. Our experience is
tlwt grass tends to keep or causes the
ground to become dryer. And that also
is a check to an excessive flow of sap, at
a time when the atmosphcro is not in
motion, but still and not coming in rap
idly-changing contact with the trees,
leaves and branches, enough to carbonize
its sap. At such tunes wo think that the
newlv-formed cells arc surfeited to burst
ing.
The pear is a native of a northern cli
mote, and is said to flourish at 57 degrees
of north latitude, and even that far north
it may not bo exposed to as great ex-
tremes of cold as with us. As I am told
that in Denmark, oo.degrecs North, thcro
is seldom snow enough ,to run a cutter,
and seeding is at times done by Christ
mas and New Year, and yet Denmark
lies from ten to fifteen degrees north, of
us.
Subjeot a vigorously growing pear tree
branch to a certain decree ol low tem
perature ; or, so subject it even after tho
sap has commenced movement therein
in the spring, and the effects will be pre
cisely that of pear blight. Hence, it is
suggested that to avoid as much as pos
siblo the pear-blight, is to avoid as much
as possible these extremes m their plant
ing, and m their culture and their too
rapid growth.
Years ago I was informed that char
coal dust mixed in the soil about pear
tree roots was the best preventive for pear
blight. I have since been told by those
who have given it a: fair trial, that with
them it Had proved a success; and' not
one havo I heard claim that it had given
it a fair trial and that it had not been
successful.
I have just read Henry Wilbur's article
on "Blight-Proof Pears ;" and then camo
up the question, "What varieties that are
generally cultivated blight soonest, or nro
more subject to blight, than the'Bartlett,
Clapp's Favorite and Flemish Beauty?"
Also tho increasing of the "Blight-Proof
Pears" list oveV the Duchess, Seckel,
Beurre Clairgeau and Winter Nehs.
A Model Housewife.
A correspondent of the Chicago Times
writes: A word about this French Canadian
housewife, though she deserves chapters. I
have drifted of late into some of the most de
solate and poverty-stricken collections of huts
which the mind could conceive which, in
deed, it is next to impossible for an American
to conceive at all hamlets where the men,
with caunt, burnt faces, lone matted hair,
forms twisted in middle age as with us at
eighty, by reason ot privation, exposure and
unsettled hopelessness, and the clothes alto
gether indescribable in their meanness, ap
pear to the vision like spetres from some raft
ot a "medusa. iSut even hero I saw no wo
man, young or old, who as not neat in her
personal appearances, painfully clean in the
care of her home, and apparently in the habit
of doing threerfourths of all the work that
was done. The amount of labor that this
poor but contented creature performs is notb
inir less than marvelous. Promising that be-
foie the age of 35 she is usually the motner nt
from six to twelve children most French
Cinadiin girls are married beforo they are 18
let us consider her worK tor a moment
She has, first of all, the caro of hei childn n
which is not a slight thing, even though they
li the most can-nil and self-reliant of all the
train's urchins; then she doss all of her
cooking, making her bread out in the
sun in a stone oven Lu.lt near the
house; she does all the washing ana
mending of clothes; she does all of her own
sewing and kmttmtr, and, lu some part
spinning; she keeps all the money ol the
hou.ehold, aud makes all the purchiecs; she
scrubs thelront steps and all the Uoors ot the
living rooms in her house every day, and she
whitewashes the outside of her house once
fortnight or so, if they have a cow she milks
and cares for it; and then (we have dealt thus
far only with the incidental occupations by
which spare moments are filled up) she works
an day in me ueiu wiui vuw Bpauu, uuu ur
rake. If she is near.salt water, she also salts
down barrels cf tomcods and flounders for
the family's winter use. If she lives near a
town she alio goes in with the horse and
charette to the market, and knits while she
is not selling preduce, on two days of the
week. The race does nt anywhere affurd
more superb spectacle of industry that this
woman nres?nts. And with it all she man
ages to keep, if not a fresh, at least a bright
and cheery look upon her face; she dresses
herself for church well and tastejully, and
carries her good clothes as it she was accus
tomed to nothing else; and her children, par
ticularly the girls, are models of cleanliness
and good order. This, bear in mind, is as
true of the poorest and most isolated hamlets
as it is of the well-to-do suburban villages.
The Grocer's Gz tte issued a special edi
tion on August 18, which was largely derotid
to the fisheries' exhibition held in London,
Referring to the display oy the Unjted States
it says: "The United States of America fill
such an amount of space of the exhibition as
constitutes their court tbe largest outdde the
British department. In variety and complete
ness of illustration the collection is utnur
passed; and selected from tbe forty-three dis
tinct fisheries carried on in different localities
of the tate8,tbe moit important contributions
in the quantity and value of the produce are
to be seen. It is also the only department in
the exhibition which has been arranged his
torically. Among the exhibits specially men
tioned are those of Btdollet & Co., Tillamook
Packing Co., and A. Booth.
Overloaded Fruit Trees. The thinning of
overloaded fruit trees should be performed
when the young apples, peaches or pears are
not larger than cherries, leaving them at
some distance from etch other, by which the
size and quality will be greatly improved and
tbe trees not exhausted by overbearing. Tbe
crop will be much mure easily gathered than
if made up of a multitude of puny and
crowded specimens, and nearly all the labor
of assorting and rejecting kotty, puny anu
warpy specimen will be avoided.

A VOICE FROM THE FARM.
"You say that my life is a round of toil?"
The stalwart farmer said;
"That I scarce can wrest from the oft-tilled
soil
My pittance of daily bread?
Well, what you tell me in part is true,
I am seldom an idle man,
But I value the blessing of rest as you,
Who have to much of it, never can.
"And, surely, I have never worked in vain,
From the spring to the golden fall ;
The harvest has ever brought waving grain,
Enough and to sparo for all.
And when in the evening, freed from care,
I see in my farm house door
My wife and little ones waiting there,
Oh, what has a millionaire morel
"My children may never have hoarded wealth;
Their lives may at tim8 be rough;
But if in tboir homes they have love aud health
They will find these riches enough.
The only land they will over own
Is the land that the strong right arm
And tho p iti lit, fearless heart alone
Can till to a fertile farm.
"I have nothing beyond my siinplo want',
And a little for cloudy dajs;
But no grim spectre my homestead haunts,
Such a, silver and gold might raise.
Around me are cyeB that with sparkling mirth
Or with placid countenance shine
And no wealth clocged lord upon all tho earth
Has a lot more blessed than mine.
"Oh! yes, I am laboring all day long,
With the mind and tho mucle, too;
But I thank the Lord who has made me strong,
And has given mo work to do.
For what, indeed, is the idle drone
But a vampire oil the land,
Reaping a fruit that by others sown,
The work of another hand.
OUR LETTER BOX.
Aunt Hetty feels quite mortified that
weeks havo passed since any of her dear
little friends have written a letter. She
gives two that have been laying in the
drawer some time, hoping that there
would bo companions for them, but each
week has passed and no more, so here nro
the last ones, and wo thank those who
remembered us,' asking their pardon, too,
for waiting so long-beforo printing them
Charley has the most head marks 1
that is something to be proud of. It is a
'right kind of pride to be first in well do
ing. A boy that starts out in life with a
determination to be ahead will make n
man of force and a solid citizen, one who
will be looked up to and respected. 0!
if our boys could only realize how im
portant it is to begin lifo right. It is very
hard to back a character after once it is
lost or injured ; but if a boy will com
menco with a promise to be honest, up
right and truthful, his character will soon
be known aiul soon people that he may
think don't know or care for him, will
say, "Thcro is a boy that you enn bet on."
This is a "slang" phrase, but it means a
great deal. Then if any trouble, or mis
understanding occurs where such boy is
concerned, why everybody says, "Well, ho
is all right," "His word is good." It is
worth a great deal to havo a good name ;
tho biblo says it is "better than great
riches." Why, my boys, it is much easier
to do right than to do wrong. Ono mis
step leads to another; one lio told will
soon require another to keep that oiv
then the truth will out ; a lie is always
tounu out sooner or later; it is lust as
mean to lie as to steal. There are many
ways of telling falsehood. If you should
sell a horse that wns not sound without
tolling the -buyer, it is acting a lie, and
you know it, and you will always feel a
little mean when you meet that man, for
you knftw that he must despise you for a
liar and a cheat.
Always live, my boys, in in surh a way
that you can look another in tho eve
an honest boy is always a bravo boy
there is no sneaking look in an honest
boy. "A good name is better than great
riches."
Aunt Hetty has not given her boys a
lecturo for a long time, but after this she
will remember to do it.
Charley's riddle reads very nice, find
we hope some one will try and guess it
Dear little Kstclla has sent a good let
ter, the only fault is that it is too short,
Tho writing and spelling is good.
How glad Aunt Hetty would bo if sho
could see every littlo girl who sends us a
letter. Every one mut como to seo mo
or speak to mo if you happen to be where
I am. Maybe some of you will he at tho
State Fair.
While we lecture the boys on lcing bravo
and honest, wo want the girls to tako
some of it to themselves, for while girls
are more shielded from tho rough side of
life, still thoy will find it easier to get
along in tho world if thoy have got a
character for truth and uprightness. All
of you girls who havo. homes, a father
and mother, ought to 1m; thankful that
you are shielded from temptation. There
are many girls who are lot just lecaupn
there is no loving hand to protect and no
kind voice to warn them of tho wicked
who arc everywhere waiting to ruin inno
cent, ignorant girls. But if every girl
will act openly and never deceive their
parents, never bo in the company of vul
gar men, and there will be no danger of
Itsing reputation. A reserved manner is
charming in a girl ; she must not allow
an- man to get acquainted too easily ;
always avoid a man who talks loud and
rough, or ono who swears and takes the
name of Coil in vain ; such a man is vilo
and will abuse a woman's confidence and
love. Any young man who is cruel, ono
who will beat animals, or uso them hard,
will neglect and abuse a wife. We havo
seen young men on a horse which wns
girted so tight that the animal was in ag
ony, just sothat the animal would look
spirited. Why, such a young man should
never be recognized, or one who speaks.
of his mother as "the old woman." A
girl's happiness in life is entirely depend
ent on the sort of man she marries.
There are some of our correspondents
who are old enough to claim benefit of
this lecture. Most of our little girl
friends are too young to think yet of n
lover. We can only say to them that no
matter how plain looking, or how plainly
dressed, that a young girl who is modest
and quiet grows beautiful as she grows
older ; the sweet graces of her young lifo
will in time be reflected in her faro. A
person is known by tho company they
keep, so always bo found with thoso who
are honest, good and upright. Young
lifo longs for soqiety and excitement, and
life in tho country is often too tame, but
rather never have acquaintances than to
mix with those whose society is not ele
vating. There are none of our littlest
ones in the circle but who may follow
Aunt Hetty's advice.
Ai.ua, Neb., Aug. 29, 18SII.
Editor Home Circle :
There not being many letters written.
to the Farmer at present, I will try to
write one. I am ten years old and live
on a farm of 210 acres. Our school was
out three weeks ago ; I got a prize for
getting tho most head marks; I will bo
glad when it commences again ; our
teacher's name is Mrs. Barn m ; sho is a
splendid teacher. I will send a riddle to
the little folks, and if thoy will guess it I
will send another. Pa is talking, of going
to Oregon this fall.
A KIDDLE.
There was a man of Adam's race,
He had a certain dwelling place;
A house complete, well finished o'er,
Where no man lived since nor before;
'Tws not composed of human art;
Brick, wood, nor in any pait,
And now if you know this man of fame,
Tell where he lived and what's his name.
