PAIN.
Exquisite solvent of the gods, and dear,
That goads mui'a sluggish nature into deeds!
The heart is wvste and barren till it bleitU;
Poor, shrinking soul ! Hope's fruitful half
is Fesr:
The fire-emboweled Earth, in tort career.
Knows all thy inarticuhble nods;
lingetsand buries races, nurtures, feeds:
The blood would rot in Plessures atmosphere;
Old Chaos' self crept into Hranty'a shape,
Throngh feeling, sinse, blind impulse at the
wheel j
To think were dtvilish, sevoreel fiom to feel;
Man, reft ot heart, were but a chattering ape!
Wine issues only from the trodden grape,
And iron must be blistered into steel !
HOPS-
Tho world is full of worldr; yet widelier far
Than stretches the horizon, cast and west,
Vainly my thoughts pursue its eager quest
Of some wide-wandeiing world some happy
star
Enfolded in an atinccpbere of rest,
Where all the essences of beinp are;
Where broken, finite life comes not to mar,
With strife and wreck, the eden of tho blest.
The heart is full of pain; yet decp'.ier down
Than conscious life, or shoal volition's reach,
Within tho inmost cavern? of the soul,
Beyond all uttcrauco and form of speech,
Springs Hope, sceptred queen, with buddtag
crown
And promise in these fracmeuts of a mightier
whole !
CHOICE RECIPES.
Apple Broad. Weigh ono pound of
fresh, jnicy apples; peel, coro and stow
them into a pulp, being careful to use a
porcelain kettle or a stono jar placed in
a kettle of boiline water ; mix tho pulp
with two pounds of the best flour; put
in tho same quantity of yea6t you would
use for common bread, aud as much
water as will make it a firm, smooth
tlouchtput it into a pan and place it in
a warm place to rise, and lot it remain
lor twelvo noursat watt. rorinuinio
rather long shapod loaves, and bakoin a
quick oven.
Jam Roll. Take two eggs and their
weight in Hour, sifted sugar and butter.
First cream tho butter and sugar, stir in
the yolks, slightly beaten, then the two
whites beaten to a stiff froth, and last of
all the flour, strewn lightly fn; mix
thoroughly, and add a littlo lemon juice.
Grenso a Yorkshire pudding dish and
pour in tho mixture about half an inch
depth. Bake in a hot oven for not more
than seven minutes, as otherwise it would
becomo too crisp to roll. Strew a piece
of paper with sugar, and turn it out on
this, and immediately spread with jam,
and quickly roll it; it not clono while very
hot. it will break in tho rolling. Tho
top can bo ornamented with bars of pink
sugar icing, silver comfits and preserved
fruit.
Daisy Fringe. Tho mode in making
this is to fold a skein of wool into six
ply, fill a tatting shuttle with the same
wool, and tio around near tho end of tho
folded wool ; then with tho material in
tho shutt'.o tio tho folded wool round
twice tightly about half an inch from
the beginning, and continue to tie it at
the samo interval tho whole length,
lircak off tho wool in the shuttle, cut tho
folded wool only in tho coutro of the
npace between the ties, leaving a series
of tufts, and Hie fringo can bo sown in
loops the required depth. Anothor easy
fringo is made as follows ; Cast on 12
stitches ; imiko 1, knit 2 together, tuke
them from the back; mako 1, knit 2 to
gether us licfurc, repoat to end of row.
When a suflicieut length has boon
knitted, cast off 12 stitches, unravel the
ivsL If tho wool is liked best crinixil,
hold it over steam, and let it dry before
unraveling. Tricotriu.
To prevent the Tarnishing of Silver.
Of all tho suggestions that have been
made nouo appear, to havo given such
atisfaetory results as a variation of
collodion a solution of gun-cotton in a
mixture of alcohol and cither. All other
varnishes appear to impart a yellowish
tingo to tho silver or plated ware?, but
collodion varnish is quite colorles. Tho
articles lo carefully brushed with tho
varnish with an elastic brush, making
iflre that tho entire surfaco is covered.
Manufacturer and IluiMor
How to Can Kmit. (Jln aud stono
jars are tho only kind t' ii;:u for the
acids of fruit will not bo healthful if
preserved in tin and they can lc pur
chased very cheaply. Nearly all tho
fruits retain their flavor better if they
are steamed instead of stewed, as they
are not ?o broken up. To four jxiunds
of fruit take ono pound of lump sugar,
as it is Uvs i-ubjoct to adulteration.
Fill tho jars within two inches of tho top
with fruit , melt tho sugar in a vory
littlo water and turn it Ijoilinjr hot upon
the fruit: place tho jars in a pan of
of boiling water and let them htcam
about ten minuUw, or until tho fruit, by
expulsion of cold air, has been forced to
tho ton of the iar; put the cover on at
onco, with a cloth, so as not to burn your
hands, and, ncrew it down Uf ntiy while
in boiling water; and set the jars on the
tablo to cool, and if any bubble app&ir
iu them Uku off the covers and boil
again until the fruit is again forced up
wards. Fruit canned in thU manner
will kwi iU fUvor perfectly.
Wyandotto Fowls.
This new brand of chickens is thus
described :
Of the many breeds of thoroughbred
poultry, the Wyandotte stand pre
eminently popular, and it has attained
this popularity entirely by its intrinsic
merits. As tabic fowls, they have no
equal in America; being exceedingly
juicy, fine grain, tender and delicate. As
spring chickens they are the very best
breed, for, in addition to ho excellence
of their flesh, they feather very early,
and mature with remarkable rapidity.
As market fowls they are unsurpassed,
being large, having very plump bodies,
full breasts, clean bright yellow legs and
yellow skin, so they always- command
the highest price. Aa egg producers
they are only excelled by the Hamburgs,
and they lay more eggs than any other
breed that hatches aud rears its own
young, and can bo depended npon for
eggs all tho year round. In hardiness,
both as chicks and fowls they are un
equalled, and being an out-and-out
American breed, they adapt themselves
to our cliniato better than any other.
Their fine plumage, symmetrical form,
upright and pleasing carriage, enables
them to bear favorable comparison with
anv breed, either on tho lawn, in tho
vard of tho fancier or in tho exhibition
ball. As mothers, they are tho very best,
bsinc kind, centle, spry and good foragers
neither nonsetters nor persistent scttors
and when once set, never abandon
their eggs. In disposition, they are
satisfied and cheerful, bearing confine
merit well and are easily confined; if
given a range, they will find their own
livimr. and if confined are easily kept. In
short, this comparatively new breed unites
all the sturdy and excellent elements of
the larera flesh and eire producing breed.
and is tho ideal fowl to n wonderful de
gree.
How to Treat a Boy.
(lot hold of the boy's heart. Yondor
locomotive comes liko a whirlwind down
tho track, and a regiment of armed men
might seek to arrest it in vain. It would
crush them, and plunge unheeding on.
Hut there is a little lover in the mcchai.
JJnii that at the pressure of a man's hand
Will slacken, its speed, and in a, moment
(wine it panting and still, like a whipped
spaniel, at your feet. By the same little
lever tho vast steamer is guided hither
and yonder upon the sea, in spite of the
hdverso wind and current, mat sensi
tive and responsive spot by which a boy's
life is controlled is his heart. With your
grasp gently and firmly on that holm,
you may pilot him whither you will
Never doubt that he has a heart. Bad
and willful boya very often have the ten-
derest hearts bidden somewhere beneath
incrustations of sin or behind barricades
of pride. And it is your business to get
at that heart, keep hold of it by sympa
thy, confiding in him, manifestly work
ing only for his good bj little indirect
kindnesses to his mother or sister, or
even his pet dog. Seo him at his homo,
or invito him into yours. Provide him
sonic littlo pleasures, set him at some
littlo trust for you; love him; love him
practically. Anyway and everyway rulo
him through his heart.
A Flan Story
We have occasionally made mention
of the experiment of Mr. ftoo. Leslio to
raise carp near Salem, and he furnishes
us a literal fish story that is v orth the
telling, lie has 17 old fi&h, and finding
tho increase from last year's propagation
needed more room, bo made a pond of
over ten acres for their accommodation.
In transferring them ho counted tho new
fish, and found, as he says, 10,500, al
most a thousand for one in a year. Ho
thinks they will do as well or better this
year, and is preparing to make new
ponds for tho increase from the young
htm that will not spawn unlit another
year. Mr. l?slie expects to supply &u-
Icin with carp this summer and tall.
Here is a specimen of the practical re
sult' of carp culture, and it looks liko
inducement for those who can make
pond to go into tho business.
Cole and the Arabs.
W. V. Cole's monster how circus
and managerio which are to exhibit in
this city on Wednesday, July 2d, are
exceptionally interesting in that they
present, a perfect wildorurea of rare ani
mals, nets and features. Among 'tho
foreign novelites to bo presented is a
troue of genuine Bedouin Arabs whoeo
performances are marvels of athletic ex
cellence. A "human fly" or lady ceiling
walker is another new addition. At
least SslOO.OOO has beoncxpenilnd during
thu winter in obtaining now features ami
rc-fitting this great show. Nearly every
race of people, civilized and uncivilized,
will !e represented. As muiiy as four
teen baro-back running hoics will be
seen in tho ring at ono tinie. An ule
phatit that reads, wrestling camels, and
a white hippopotamus are among tho
many animal curioritios, while Sainton
the mastodonic elephant will tower ubovo
anything yet born of brutes. Owing to
tho extraordinary magnitude of this
enormous show, performances will be
given in the menagerie tents as well as
Uic several rings.

LOVE AND TIME.
Love and Time one Summer's day
Sat and talked together;
Ijvo took up his lute to play
And sang in the golden weather ;
"Life's a fair and brimming cup,
Spirliug, frrshund mellow;
Qit-.H' it sujly, drink it up,
Time's a surly fellow 1"
Tinio loohed up and gazed at hiin,
Halt contempt, half pity ;
Calmly smiling, grave and grim
Thin took up the ditty :
"All tho world is growing gray.
Sere and brown aud yelluw,
You'll be older too, some day,
Silly little fellow."
Love rose up and ran away,
Leaving time in shadow,
All tho golden rummer day,
Singing through tho meadow :
"Silly, silly, though I be,
There's no need to flout at mc,
1 hough tho world may 1 mgh at me,
It cannot do without ma."
OUR LETTER BOX.
1 here are a low letters still coming
in, though not nearly as many as during
tho winter days. "NVe hope tho Circle
will see that tho box does not get entire
ly empty. Tho world is so beautiful
now, all nature has on bor lovliost garb,
and while there aro so many actual
pleasures to enjoy for those who live in
tho country that it cannot bo wondered
at that busy littlo feet will wander, and
busy little hands forgot to write lottcrs.
The first letter that came this week is
from one of tho boys. As n rulo tho
girls arc our most faithful friends when
it comes to letter writing, there boing
many more from them during tho year
than from tho boys.
Eugene starts out with a famous good
one; written in a good plain round
hand, deserving a credit mark for doing
so well iu composition too. An incident
mentioned in his letter reminds us of a
true story, something that happened on
a farm wo know of. A young man onco
worked on that farm, was in a field ono
day, when an old murn that was always
vory gentle, camo running toward him,
jumping a good fence to get whero ho
was. The man was surprised at that
for she had never beon "breachy," she
camo to him, whinneyed so pitifully
and ran back the way she came, jump
ing tho fence again. She kept looking
back and not scoing tho man curao to
her she came again, seemingly to be,
him to follow. The man began to think
old Kit was trying to lead him on, so he
followed her some distance, where ho
found her colt on its back in a ditch
She kept her head on his' shoulder all
the time ho was trying to help her baby
out, and when it was really out anil on
its foct again -sho acted just as any
human mother would to find bor child
all right again. So wo can seo that
animals have groat reasoning powers, if
thoy havo a chauco to develop it. Sho
was an animal that had never known
anything but kindness from ihan, so she
naturally looked to man for help in
trouble. That is a famous dihtrict whore
there mo five times more boys iu school
than there arc girls.
Lena is welcome again. Those tiny
humming bird nests am curious to seo.
Pussy cat, or crhap a snake, may have

they aro pretty to look at, howover wo

it off to u troo or limb, aud then eat it,
holding it down by one foot while poet

Willie wild a good letter, we don't
wonder I hat Oregon teems the Itest of
places better than Michigan or Colorado
Uiom etoricj of cyclones would i-end
any ono away. Write again.
Lizzie finds time t write a short letter,
but it is letter that way than none at
all. Suppose Mi'fs Lizzie commence
herself to start out on some subjectf It
would be an excellent way to start others.
Lucia come from away over iu Ext
ern Oregon among IIkmc big bunch grass
fleldn. It was a lucky find to git tb'-e
lamb) more lucky though for tho
Iambi themnelveM- -women and girl al
ways have tender heart. Wo liko to see
this disijiosilion to caro for helpless ani
mals, it is often that ewes will not own
but ono lamb if they have two. That
cnlf must bo n deal of trouble. A carp
pond would lie n good thing to have if
it proves a success, for fish is good food
they may bo mado pets of if some
pains be taken to teach them.

Editor Home Circle:
Perhaps tho most of the boys would
rather bo out in tho fields trapping for
squirrels or picking berries. Our school
is running still nnd will continue until

and then it will commenco again. I do
not know whether I will go thou or not,
for I havo gono a long time now. There
will be a school cutoriainniont here tho
1 ist day, and wo hope all to bo prcson'.
There is about 25 scholars and only five
girls. We aro having lino weather and
thi most of the boys go baro-foot to
school. They did play ball but it got
too hot so thoy play in.ublcs now. Some
can play very good, but the teacher snys
ho is tho boss when it comes to thumb
a marble. Mr. K. F. Simpson lost a val
uable mare. Sho slipped in the ditch
and was unablo to get out. The mare
was valued very highly and he regrets
tho loss. I can print cards I havo n

of cards. Tho green fields of grain are
