OUR LETTER BOX. We put faith in our young folks, and iiiro enough there are more letters tin week than we can well iinc, nice, good, long letters, too. There is a decided im provement in all the letters that come; thoy are longer, and then they seem to cover a greater variety of topics, with more originality of ideas than at first. Eva's card came with her letter. We have quite a box full of pretty cards which have come to us from time to time from our little friends. Eva is right in learning to do ull forts of housework ; not only farmers' girls, but all girls should know bow to "cook, crub and make pies." There should bo much pride in making the very best pies, too ; a great deal may be learned from exig ence, if ono tries to do the best they can. Kva must write again and not be afraid of writing too much. Clyde sends an answer to a problem, which must have cost him quite a con siderable titno and thought. Wo hope sorno ono will answer tho questions he asks, for they are audi us will help to stimulate the mind and encourage lovo of history. Kamuel Kelly writes ngain. We arc glad to have the Isiyswrite, but it seems as if our most icliable correspondents were the girls. Ho sends a puzzle which some other bright boy may guess ; there is some "catch" in it. We have been on Clatsop beach and so can have sorno idea of Annie's home on the Nowaukuin hut it must be great fun to fish from the door-yard. It. E. 1 -puree gives a very good account of bis trip to the .-ea coast. There is great fun for boys on such a trip, and many curious tilings to bo seen. Dig ging clams, getting rock oysters and hunting for shells up and down the beach. It is curious to watch tho In dian women dig for razor clams, which scoiu to dig down into tho sand faster than the women can follow thorn. A person who is not used to catching thorn cannot got them, they disappear so quickly I don't think 1 would like to kill the gull-, for they aro not good to eat, and aio haniilons. At Astoria a ior son would bo lined who would harm a gull that came alsnit the city, for they aro thought to be good scavengers. They will follow a shin or a steamer miles and miles out to sea to catch the refuse food that is thrown overlioard. Sailors say thoy will go half way to Cal ifornia, then, meeting a steamer coming luck, will return. Wo found amusement in throwing food to them to see bow quickly thoy would catch it and how gnicofully they rode tho waves whilo de vouring it, sometimes a dozen would be lighting for tho same morsel.

Your friend, Sa.mi'kl, Keu.y. Eoi.a, Aug. 4, 1PS1. Kditor Home Circle : I have sat down to write another letter to you about my trip to Xestucca and back. I had long wished to go to the sea shore. My brothers Chrlie and Willie had Ween once before and con cluded to go again, so I had a chance to go, which I did. We left June 10 at 1 o'clock, and the next day were in dead timber at the toll gate; during the night it rained. At 10 noxt day we pushed on and at b" in tho evening arrived at tho bay and were busy an hour pitching our tent, then us boys started for the beach ; we were at tho beach about two hours and succeeded in killing 1G gulls, which was very lino sport. Wo then returned to camp. Wo staid at the beach lour days, then wo mado another move and crossed the hay oa a. boat and went to;Sand lake, four miles below Cape lookout, where we caught about 7U llountler.-. They were very good fish And now the travel homeward began being 10 days from home- -we hitched up and started, driving two days. We wero greeted at home with much joy.

With t nit much money in his hind pocket ho could cheese tho racket and have a q,cw tailor every week in tho year. Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, tho porter invited tho senior partner to go upon tho roof with him to see about repairs. There was a wicked leor on his face and a strange light in his eyes, but the guilele-s senior partner noticid nothing but the fact that the porter was g'tling a br. n ly Hush on his nose No .ooner had they reached the roof than the villain seized his employer and held him suspended over the dizzy height, anil cried out : "' ' Your check for .20,000 or I drop you into the alley!"
