IIAnRIOT T. CLAKKS, Editor. FATHERS AND SONS. "I must lok to tho sheep in the fold, See tlm cattlo are fed ami worm ; "So, Jack, tell mother to wrap you well, Yuu may ro n ith mo over the larm, Though the snow is Jeep and tho weather col J, You aro not a bihy at bU years old.'1 Two feit of snow en He hilhido lay, But tho fky was as blue as Jnne ; And father end ton came hughit.g home When dinner was ready at noon Knocking the snow from their weary feet, Kosy and hungry and longing to eat. "The snow was so deep," tho farmer said, "That I feared that I could scarce cet thro'," Tho mother turned with a pleasant Bmi'.c; 'Then what could a little lad do?" "I trod in my father's stcp3," said Jack; "Wherever ho went 1 kepi hia trsck." Thti mother looked in tho father's faco, And a solemn thoueht was thcro ; The words had gono like a lightning flash To tho ecat of a nobler care ; , "If he 'trends in my steps,' then day by day ' How carefully I must choose my way!" "For the child will do as the father does, And the track t' at. I leave bel ind, If it be firm, and clear and straight, The feet of my son will find ; He will "tread in his father's step,' and say I am risht, for this is my father's way!' " Oh! fathers, leading in Life's hard road, Ba sure of the steps you take ; Then the sons yom love, when grey-haired men. Will tread in them still for your sake Then grey-baired men to their sobs will say: "We tread in our father's steps to-day." UTfWHAT SHALL THE HARVELT BE? Mot long Bince "while sitting in a crowded room listening, or trying to listen, to somo address, our thoughts would wander. A rcw of sweet girl faces were in full viow ; wo think it was this that diverted our attention, for although a woman, we could not but be alivo to the influences of theso young fades, some of whom were just budding into womanhood. How littlo these girls think what their influcuco may be espe cially in theso years to come, which promise greater openings of influence to women in every, way, and which shall carry with it greater responsibilities. It is nearly always that wo find woman's voice on tho side of right, and nover will a tippler or bad man be sot in office by woman's influence, when tho time shall come that she has equal rights before tho law in representation. Wo want still to keep before our girls the fact that they can bo good housekeepers and loving, careful mother, while wielding influence ihat shall dignify woman haod. They should cultivate tho graces that adorn a home, cultivating any tal ent nature has given, this will help to elevato the mind. Thcro is another duty, which scant moans and a hard life often discourages, and that is, self -adornment, in making tho most of opportuni ties for personal apicarance. Wo all know from experience that wo have more self-respect when conscious of look ing well. Every woman is entitled to a comfortable wardrobe, and should hae it as a necessity. Wo often havo socn a young girl so trim and neat settle down into a dowdy young wifo. Sho should as far as po-iblo keep up the old way of trying to bo attractive ; it is not a false pride that ih to bo encouragod, but on the contrary, it is our duty to look as well as our circumstances will admit of, and it need in it bo that much monoy is expended to look sweet and pretty, as all young wives should. Of course it is not easy to do this, it calls for industry and good management to keep self and ba bics always sweet 'and clean, bnt it can bo done. Tho writer knows, and knows but ton well, all tho ins and outs of scant means of wrestling with all tho little mean economics of life whilo the heart and Kiul longed for rost, but wc folt the necessity of example to the younj daugh- tcrs who too must learn io make, mend and turn again to best '-.advantage. Life come hard to tho majority, but' every year brings better things for woman ; she need not bo tied, marriage is not the whole aim and end of womanhood. Better to go single-handed in independ ence than tied to tho whine and ill na ture of a man. Ftm Lunch FuUaaUiropy. A lady of one of tho flourishing towns of our State had been to New York, and ou hor return was describing to her hus band tho chief features of metropolitan life which had impressed themselves on her rapmory. After going through a long list of those things likely to impress country people she suddenly exclaimed : "But there was one thing which did me more good than anything ebjc, because it allowed the remarkable growth of jAil- unthropic charity in our large cities. On nearly nil tho streets, at ficquent inter vals, I saw signs over the doois leading, 'Free lunch froo lunch.' I could not help thinking, as I walked along, what a blessed work the relief societies of New Yoik are doing." The good lady, in her enthusiasm, did not notice tint her hus band had turm d aside to straighten out the lamp-mat on his dok, nor docs sho know to this day the tine significance of the metropolitan "free lunch."

Oue of thoso April letters, of which wo found to many, was written by a dear little girl, Cora Da shiell, who did not live to Fee it printed. She has gone befoic and is waiting for tho rest of tho loved ones toconio to her. We are suro of this. Death is not so sad a thing if we look at it in the right way. Death is surely coming to every one of us. There is in tho heart of every one, even among savngo nations, a deep feeling that there is a future life. What or how it shall bo wo aro not permitted to know, but thero is groat happiness in knowing that wo shall all meet again and live forever and ever with the dear ones who go before us. Let all of our dear ones remember this, and then try to do right, each ono of you, that you may enjoy the promises made to those who live good, pure lives. Dear little Cora Dashiell learned the 23d psalm be fore she died ; let cach.one of you find these versos and read them and see how beautiful they are. We can fully sympa thize with the Borrowing mother, but it is a little time ; and how sweet will be tho meeting, never to part again Two little sisters writo from Nebraska to the Homo Circle. Just think how many other little girls besido those in Oregon thero aro who enjoy the letters. Aunt Hetty knows tho undo Clara and Eva tell of. They ought to come and visit tho Oregon uncle. Jcnevevo has asked somo questions. We hope some ono will try and answer them. It sharpens tho wits of little folks to study out puzzles and conun drums ; then questions about tho Bible will awaken an interest to know what is written in the Sacred Book. Clarence wants not only to bo on the temperanco roll but says ho is an "anti- tobacco" boy. Now, that is a splendid idea, to start out against liquor and to bacco, too. Wo havo a letter from "Undo Bum,'' who is so kind as to,tako an interest in tho Circle. Uncle Sam goes right to the bottom of all tho evils of our country and in our government. Whisky and tobacco nro the most ruinous to man hood. Aunt Hetty always said, when a young girl, that tobacco should not bo used in her Iiouho, if sho ever hud one, and thero has been none used, nor is thcro any uso of allowing ones neat rooms to bo dofilud by tobacco ch ewers. Claronce has been tho find, to put his name to an anti-tobacco roll. Lotus eeo how mauy boys will write and send their names. This society ought to suit thoso who voted against the amendment, for it cannot but bo a men's society, as of course no girl ever wanted to chew tobacco. The girls might pledge themselves to de cline the acquaintance of those who chewed the vile stuff. SrniXGHKLD, Neb., May 4, 1884. Editor Home Circle: As I havo never written to any paper I thought I would write to the Kaumku. I will be twclvo this summer.

Tho trees aio just coming out in bloom ; tho plum trees aro white there nro so many blossoms. This has liccn a very Into spring. Youn very truly, Eva Burmnk. Dr.En Cheek, May 10, 18S4. EJitor Home Circlo: I am visiting my sister, whom I had not seen for nino years; I am g"ing to spend tho summer with her. I camo from Salem in April. I am sixteen years old. We havo a Sunday t-chool here ; I havo a class of littlo boys and girls. I will give tho answers to the Bible questions asked by C. C. B. : Enoch walked , with God ; Paul said to tho keeper of tho prison, t-Do thyself no harm;" Melchisedcc was tho King of Salem. I will ask two Bible questions : The word "pen-knife" is used but once in tho Bible; in what book, chapter and verse is it? What King slept on nn iron bedstead; how largo was it? A. Jexevevj: Situ. Mohawk, Or., May 9, 18S4. Editor Home Circle: Papa has been taking tho Farmeu for about ton years, and I liko to load tho letters, and I thought I would write, too. I will bo ten years old tho -4th of Octo ber; I have only gone to school tlueo months in my life, but I learn at homo ; I study arithmetic, Fourth Header and Sacond Arithmetic. I havo two broth ers ; Freddie is six years old, ho studies the Fourth Header and First Arithmetic. I have been hoeing strawberries this week ; we have about an aero out, wo ex pect to have a jolly timo eating them when they get ripe. We livo about 12 miles from Eugene City on a farm ; papa has, some stock, he bos six head of horses' and fourteen of cattle. I must tell yon, Aunt Hetty, that I am an anti-tobacco boy ; pleabe put my name on thotempor- ance roll. I will close by wishing tho Farmer success. Clarence B. Zdmwalt. Pleasant Hill, Or., May 12, 188-1. Editor Home Circle: , It gave mo much pleasure to sou in the columns of tho Farmer, a short timo Bince, a letter from Johnny II., of Dex ter, in which ho pledges himself against tho very filthy uso of tobacco. In my opinion that letter had the trtto ring to it. That h right, Johnny, stick to it, my little man ; and what a blessing it would be if not only tho demon, King Alcohol, but tobacco, could forever bo banished from our land. And, littlo boys, you know how to do it? I ofton think that if all those who aro slaves to this degrading habit could "sco them selves as ithcrsECO us," tho most of them would surely discard its use. It is not necessary in this letter to say anything about tho very dirty habit of spitting tho juico of tobacco upon tho floors of our Iiousoh or btores, or places of worship, How much better it would bo if tho mil lions and billions of dollars paid out an nually for this vilo stuff, was used for somo good purpose. I am often Htir- prUcd and pained to tco prominont min isters of tho gospel "roll ibis is u sweet inoreol under their tongttos," and ask myself. "Can such things bo? and overcome us like a summer's ilroam, without our spiritual wonder." Won't Aunt Hetty be ho kind as to provide in tho Circle an Anti-Tobacco ItollT and if she will admit tho names of "children of larger growth," ho can begin with U.Ncr.K Ham. IN MKMOIUA.M. Cora 0. Dasliillo was bom Kept. 14, 1870, and died, after an illness of only five days, April C, 1834. Cora was an affectionate sister and a loving daughter Sho leaves a father and mother, brothers and sistcrb, anil a host of friends to mourn her early death- Always delicato, tho strength of mind seemed to over balancti that of tbo body. Cora was an unusually bright and intelligent young girl. Combined with this was a sweet, earnest, uusclluh disposition, which com mand aliko tho love and respect of both young and old. Tho almost idolized child of fond parents, always tho bright est and most studious of pupils, h itn wonder that hor death leaves a vacancy which cannot cai.y bo filled?" A grief and feeling of desolation which time only Can soften, bnt not effacet Missed at home, missed at school those who knew hor U'st loved her most Hy Ibo writer (who has known Iter but a few abort weeks) aba will always be interesting girls it has been our fortune to meet. - . Dirling Cora, thru art gone. And with the bleased aupelj dwell; At tne bnakiug of the dawn We were called to say farewell. Then thy gci tl- spiiit wci t Flying t the realms above ut; And holy voices rent Tho heavo' a w ith tbeir joyom chcu.s, , Joy, that one moia foul had down Back to tho Lord ho gavo it; That the lowly flower I nd blown Into a beautiful, glorious spirit. V were loth to givotheo up, Bnt we know, in our Savior's broaft, Thou art sipping of tho cup Of that puro nud perfect rest. M. II. E. Day-ion-, W. i, May 31, 1884. Editor Homo Circle: "T For year, in fact from the first issue to tho present timo, with ono exception, tho Farmer has beon a wolcomo visitor in our homo, and out- children have grown up, ns the years havo passed by, to tnko a deep interest in it, especially in' tho Home Ciicle, and I havo often thought I would liko to thank you for P tho good ndvico and the moral instruc tion you havo given through its columns, and though wo may not lo able to say anything that may inteiost ijomo of your readers, wo think that wo t-how tho sen timent of many a parent's heart when wo ask God to bless you in your efforts to lead tho littlo ones to a knowlodgo of a high, noblo and useful life. Somo per sons may not liko to read tho littlo let ters, but thoy teach us many lessons that we can profit by if wo will heed them, and who will read thorn without having tho better feelings of their naturo stirred within them; and as they read memory takes them back to tho timo when thoy themselves had the eamo feolings, hopes, anil aspirations as are breathed forth in theso letters. Wo feci as if wo were quite well acquainted with many members of the Homo Cirolo, and presume that they feel as if they knew one another 'quite well, and no doubt but what some' of your hearts will sympathize 'with our own aching ones when I tell you the an gel of Death has entered our1 home and taken little Cora, and I will tell yon all how she liked your letters and how anx ious sho was every week to got the 'Far mer, and how disappointed sho was if it did not come, and the last letter, but ono, sho over wroto, was to the Homo Circle, arid was published in tho Farmer of April 4th, and she was anxious to see if her letter would bo printod as sho wroto it. Sho watched the date of letters and told us that her letter would bo in the next wook's paper, but hor gentle spirit' pasbod away on tho Gth of April, and she never had tho pleasure of reading what Aunt Hetty had to eay to her. And now how many of yon will do ns she did beforo sho died, sho committed to memory tho 23d psalm, besides most of Christ's Sermon on tho Mount; and her funoral services wcro found on tho 8th verso of that cermon, "Tho puro in heart shall see God;'1 and though it is hard to give hor up wo'feel in our hearts that sho has joined the bright circlo of tho puro hearts and that sho "shall dwell in tho House of the Loid foreor.'" "But now sho ii gone, her work on earth is done, Iter books are hud a May to bu read by lit r no more; She has paxed tl.u gitc-way Death her short raco s run, Yet we do not think of her asdrad but only goue beforo."
