Well, 'lis Idle to dispute with fate ; Bat if you chooso to hear me tell, Pray listen whilo I fix the date. When daughters histo with eager feet, A mothers daily toil to share, Can make the duddinps which they eat, And mend the stockings which they vrcnrt When maidens look upon a man As in himself what they would marry, And not as army soldiors scan A suttler or a commissary ; When gentlo ladies, who have got The offer of a lover's hand, Consent to share his earthly lot, And do not mean his lot of land) When young mechanics are allowed To And and wed the farmers' girls Who don't expect to bo endowed With rubies, diamonds and pearls; When wives, in short, shall fully givo Their hearts and hands to aid their spouses And live as thoy were wont to livo Within their sires' one story housos ; Then, maidens if I'm not too old Rejoice to quit this lonely life, I'll brush my beaver, cease to scold, And look about me for a wife John 0. Saie. Tested Method of Cooking Apples. Wo have nil beard from childhood that "variety is tho apico of lifo," eaya Mrs. Morrow In Good Housokcoping. No ono enn npprcciato this saying bet ter thnn tho jnded housekeeper who, on account of tho shortness of hor purao, has been ringing changes on apple sauco and baked apples, becauso applos nro cheap. To hor it must bo gratify ing to know that there aro many differ ent ways in which this doliclous and economical fruit can po utilizod, both for dinner and toa. A dessert, eimplo and appetizing, is mado as follows : Brown Uotty. Lay in a pudding dish first a layer of finely sliced apples, sugared to taste, and dusted over with finely powdered cinnamon j noxt a layer of coarsely crumed broad, buttered at intervals. Allcrnato these layers until tho dish is full. Let the last layer con sist of applcd cut in eighths. Pour on Buillcicnt water to moisten tho whole. Cover and sot in tho ovon. When tho apples on top aro tondcr rcmovo tho covor and cook until brown. Servo hot without sauce. Applo FrittcrB aro easily prepared. Ono cup of Bitted Hour, ono teaspoon fill of good baking powder, ono pinch of salt, two eggs, ono cup of milk. Sift flour, salt and powder together, add tho eggs beaten, tho milk, ono-halt pint of chopped apples, and nutmeg to taste. Mix into n batter as for griddlo cakes and drop spoonfuls into lard mado hot for tho purpose. When a dolicato brown remove Sorvo with sugar. Tapioen Puddings. Two kinds of tapioca pudding, very delicious, aro thus mado. 1. Paro and coro sufllciont apples to fill tho pudding dish ; put into caoh a piece of lemon peel ; soak a half pint of tapioca in a quart of lukowarm water for ono hour, add alittlosnlt; flavor with lemon ; pour over tho apples ; bako until tho apples aro tendor; cat whon cold, with cream and sugar. 2. Fonr tablespoon fuU of tapioca soaked for two hours in tepid wator, whon tho tapioca has softened add a quart of cold water, pinch of salt, tablospoonful of molasses and two largo apples, corod and sliced ; place in a covered dish and bako in tho oven (or two hours, stirring occasionally; then remove tho cover, still ttirring. In half an hour tho pud ding should bo a deep brown. Pour in to another dish, and sorvo hot with hard b.'iUCu. Tliu Imrd eiiUCO in inadu by beating to a cream ono cup of sugar, ono heaping tcaspoouful of buttor and ono teacpoonfiil of boiling water, llavor with lemon or vanilla. A dainty dish for tea is mado by peel ing, coring and quartering apples, sugaring to tasto and adding sufficient water to keep them from burning. Place in a covered pudding-dish in tho oven and cook until tendor. When dono tho quarters should remain intact and float in a transparent syrup. Another excellent dish for tea is mado by peeling, coring and quartering ap ples, placing in a pudding-dish in lay crs, with Migar between ; pour on water enough to half fill the dish ; cover with an old plate and cook in moderate oven for three hours. If tbo fruit is not red by that timo return to tho oven and cook until it is. A third and appetizing way of cooking spples for tea is to peel and core thorn, lay in u shallow tin pan and fill tho holos with sugar. Pour into tho pan sufllciont water to koop tho fruit from burning. Cook until tho tops aro shriveled. Servo without milk or sugar. Choice Recipes. Stuffed' Potatoes. Bako largo pota toes until dono; cut a "cap" from tho top of oach ; scoop out tho insido carefully and mash softly with butter and milk. Minco tho giblots of your chickon fine, season with pepper and salt, stir into tho potatoes, add tho boatcn yolk of an ogg, boat in a saucepan until very hot, fill tho skins, roplaco tho tops and set in an ovon for throo minutes. To Mako a Tough Fowl Tendor. Tho Fronch havo a way of making a tough fowl tondcr in roasting which is worth following. It should bo seasoned and tied up securely in two thicknesses of soft whito or palo brown paper and put into tho ovon half an hour enrlior than tho timo would chooso to assuro to its boing dono. It will stenm slowly in this way, and if dolicatcly dredged with flour whon tho paper is takon off at tho end of tho half-hour in n hot oven, it will como out brown and easily carved. Batter and Fruit Pudding. Chop up ono pound of apples and put them in a greased pudding basin (goosobcrrios, plums or any other fruit will do), and sprinklo sugar over them ; now mako a batter of ono egg, six ounces flour and ono breakfast cupful of milk ; ono half a tcaspoonful of baking powder must bo added to tho Hour, whon tho batter is smooth, press it over tho fruit and steam gontly for ono hour; caro must bo taken that tho wator remains boiling and does not ovaporato too much.) Itod Cabbigo Pioklo. .V pioklo whic will keep a fow weeks, and which is very appotizing, and will help to snvo tho othor inoro cxpensivo pickles, is mado of rodcabbago. Chooso firm hoods, cut them into quarters, and after removing tho stalk cut tho cabbago across into very thin slices ; spread it upon largo platters, scattor salt with a liberal hand over it. Tho noxt day, drain through a colander. Thon put tho cabbago into a jar, and pour vinegar heated to n boil ing point ovor it, some wholo black pop por, and, if you chooso, a littlo cayenno pepper or curry powdor or ginger mny bo put into tho vinegar and bo heated with it. The Quality ot Butter. It is often remarked by writers on dairy subjects, says tho Amorican Dairy man, that tho oldor membors of tho fam ily on dairy farms aro much harder to nroiuo to a full approbation of tho nec essity for improvement in tho quality of tho butter made. This is duo to sov oral causes; ono is tho conservative na ture of tho older pooplo, who know tho dangor of abrupt changes in business affairs, whilo tho younger members aro naturally moro enthusiastic and ready to ninko now ventures and trials; but tho most important causo of tho old pcoplo's slowness in accepting tho now ideas is tho fact that nftor thoy mako tho now product and taste it thoy do not llko it. Such butter to their tasto is flat and in sipid. Thoy havo been brought up on strong food and violent smolls, and thoy hnvo learned to liko butter with n bono on it, and somo strength about it. Tasto is almost wholly a matter of cultivation, with perhaps somo eternally govorning rules about it, but surely no one has yet discovered them. This fact, however, suggests tho propriety of nllowing tho younger members of the family to decido tho question, not of tho goodness of tho goodness of tho butter product, for that is very properly a subject of everlasting dobate, but as to its adaptability to tho market. Tho farmer docs not caro whether or not tho butter suits his taste, if it will only soil, and for this reason ho should submit to tho judgment of tho best experts on tho farm, which will bo tho occasion of putting money in his pockets. WUat True Merit Mill lo. Tho unprecedented sale of Dociikk's German Syrup within a tow years, has astonished the world. It is without doubt tho safest and best remedy ever discovered for tho speedy and efle:tual cure of Coughs, Colds, and tho severest Lung troubles. It acta on an entirely different principle from tho usual pres cription given by Physicians, as it does not dry up a Cough and leave tho dis ease still in the system, but on the con trary removes tho causo of tho trouble, heals the parts affected and leaves them in a purely hoalthy condition. A bottlo kept in tlws house for uso when the dis eases make their appearance, will save doctor's bills and a long spell of serious illness. A trial will convince you of theso facts. It is positively sold by all druggists and general doalers in tho land. Price 75 eta, large bottles. 1 Drugs at Port's, 100 State street. 41! fyl $MMwn. OUR BELOVED DEAD. They say if our boloved dead Should seek the old familiar placo, Some stranger would bo there instead, And they would And no welcomo f.ico, I cannot toll how it might be In other homes but this I knowt Could my lost darling come to me, That sho would never find it so. Oft'times tho flowers have come and gone, Oftimca tho winter winds have blown, Tito whilo her pcacoful rest wont on, And I havo loarncd to livo alono. How slowly learned from day to day In all life's tasks to bear my part ; But whether grave, or whether gay, I hido hor memory in my heart. Fond, faithful lovo has blest my may, And friends aro round mo true and tried; They havo their placo but hers to-day Is empty as tho day sho died. How would I spring with bated breath, And joy too deep for word or sign, To take my darling homo from death, And onco again to call her mine I I daro not droam tho blissful dream, It fills my heart with wild unrest; Whcro yonder oold white marbles gleam Sho still must slumber God known bett, Hut this I know, that those who say Our best beloved would find no placo, Havo never hungered every day Thro' years and years for one sweet face. OUR LETTER BOX. Tho first lcttor oponod this weok is from ono who has written sovoral t.nioj boforo,wo cannot qutto say an old corn' pondent, for Julia is a littlo girl yet, Sho must send hor pattern for lace, if it is not too elaborate. Wo find n protty littlo card In tho letter too. Its almost timo for tho girls to lcgin to think of garden aud llowors, tho bulbs aro already beginning to show blossoniB nnd if no cold woathcr comes all spring flowers will soon open. Tho caro and cultivation of flowers helps to mako ono happy, to watch each plant ns tho tiny seed comes up gorms dovelops and often blooms is it not wonderful to bco what beauty will como from a littlo seed. To all nature Is full of curious things, but wo aro so used to socing thorn that wo scarco oven stop to think of what is so common. Tho activo minds and bodlos of our young folks must havo omploymont, thcro must bo somo way to dispose of tho wcoks and days. School Is first, bnt all is not book learning tho boys must havo horses and Block, intuit havo an interest in farm matters, but tho girls need out door work too, and they havo tho gardon and flowors to caro for. Tho lovo of flowers shown a rofinod tasto, lot us havo something about tho llowors nnd which to plant. Jeff sends a livo boy lcttor, from away back in Kansas whoro thoy aro having cold winds and snow, ho no doubt has lots of fun out of sleighing and sliding, but ho don't havo hills to slido down wo guess ho is welcomo to nil tho snow, let us hear from Jeff again. Orah is wishing to como to Oregon wo will bo vory glad to soo hor, and Jofl' too wo do not liko to urgo any ono to come, for thoro is always 6omo disap pointed in every chaugo wo mako in our lives. It is not always sunshlno in Oregon, if wo don't havo any of those blizzards. Then money Is just as hard to get hero as it is in other places it is perhaps hnrder. This is not a manufao turing country and tho population is not largo considering tbo breadth of country. Now tios aro easily broken with tho young and now friends oaeily made but with oldor peoplo it is not easy to change wo think Oregon a good country to como to, if ono wishos u good climate. Why Orah wo havo had flowers blooming all winter out doors, somo primroses aro out now and it would do to put in early jwtatoos but it Is a very mild winter. Aunt Hetty would liku to eoo Oral: and sho must let mo know if sho comes here. Pi.A!NSViu.n, Kan., Jan. 1, '87. Editor Home Circlet My father keeps telling mo to writo, and so does my undo who lives in Ore gon. Well tho fact is that I don't havo timo as I walk two miles to Echool and by tho timo I walk homo at night am tired, and thon my sister and I havo to get supper and wash tho dishes nnd then I am too tired to write. "Wo havo not had much cold weather hero yet ; wo had ono awful blizzard about tho first of November, but wo havo not had much bad weather since then. I wag reading a letter in tho Faumer tbo othor day about raising chickens and planting garden. Oh, I should think it would bo colder out tbero than it is here, and it would do no good to plant a garden horo at this time of tho year It is too cold to plant garden or even raiso chickens in Ootobor. Papa talks of soil ing out and going to Oregon ; ho thinks ho can sell in tho Bpring. I would llko for Aunt Hetty to como out and mako us a visit. Aunt Hetty, do you ovor visit any of tho littlo folks who writo to tho FARMEn. Well, I havo written a pretty long letter, but It will help fill up tho Letter Box If nothing olso.
