Old Farmer Smith oim home In t miff For hU field the othar day, While his tweet little wife, the pride of hli life, At her wheel was spinning away. -And ever nd anon o gay little long With the buzz of her wheel kept time; And hia wrathful brow is clearing now, Under her chearfnl ihyme. "Come, como, little Turk, put away your work, And listen to what I say : What can I do, but a quarrel brew With the man acroaa the way. "Ivo built my fence, but he wont commence To lay a ainglo rail ( ' Hia cattle got in, and tho feed got thin I am tempted to make a a)e 1" 4lWhy, John, dear John, how you do go on I I am afraid it will be ai they lay," "No, no, little wife, I heard that atrife In a lawyer' hand don's pay, "II o la picking a flaw, to drive mo to law I am afraid that he aaid he would And you know, lone; ago, ltw wronged me to, I vowed that I never ahould. "So what can I do, that I will not rue To the man acroaa the way t" "If that'awhatyou want, I can help you hauat That man with n acepter gray. "Thirty dollars will do, carry you through And then you havo gained a neighbor; It would cost you more to peep in tho door Of A court, and a much more labor. "Jnat nse your good tense let's build him a fence, And shame bad acta out of tho fellow." They built up hia part, aad sent to hia heart Lovo'a dart where tho good thoughts mellow That very aame night, by the candle light, They opened with interest a letter : Not a word was thcro, but three sroenbasks Mr Said tho min was (growing better. SCHOOL BOOKS. Thoro 8ccma to bo littlo dout but out sido lobyists arc at work trying to hin der nny legislation in regnrd to homo printing nnd famishing of school books. Tho frequent charges of school books has worked n hardship in families, with benefit only to thoeo who print and sell theso books. With tho cxpcricnco of many years and with investigation of tho now methods and new books, wo do not think thoro has been sufficient im provement in school books to warrant tho many changes that havo been made. To mako learning easy ia not dosirablo, tho etndont should bo allowed to do a littlo thinking on his own hook. Thcro is a monopoly in California, which with other parties, desiro to keep on furnish ing young Oregonian with books. If wo arc to havo now books, lot us print thorn at home, and so havo tho benofit of tho monoy spent, besides giving em ployment to our own people. Thoro must bo good profits in tho business, or thcro would not bo bo much troublo and expenio employed and spent in do fending all efforts herotoforo mado in regard to this matter. Farmers arc just as much interested in tho bill as any ono perhaps more so, for no clasH set bo littlo rccompenBO for labor and invoetmonts as the farmers of Oregon and feci tho oxponso of now books each year. the w. c. T. v. On tho organization of tho Woman's Christian Temperanco Union, thoro was for several years only an incomo of about a thousand a year now thoro is from eight to ten thousand givon year ly to toward tho work. In this twelvo years of work there has been a great deal accomplished. Principally, has tho Union.through legislation procured laws, by which children shall bo taught in schools the effects of alcoholics and nar cotics upon the human system. In Sa le ra a reading room is open and kept ploasantly warmod and lightod, for tho benefit of this organization and to furth er its interests. Thero has been a great work done by the W. C. T. U. for tho causa of temperance. Already has other nations followed with similar organizations -Scandinavia, Australia and Germany. Il is said that the Japanese are scr serionusly thinking of starting woolen factories in their country. There is nl ready a demand for woolen fabrics among the rich and it is liable to extend very soon to the poorer classes. The wool would havo to be imported from Xew Zealand and Australia. Tho cloth hitherto used by the native tailors has been imported mostly from Vermont and other New England States. See Dr. Striker's advertisement in another column. The Doctor is -well known in Oregon as a successful prac tioner. Any one suffering from what is considered an incurable ditease would do well to consult the Doctor. SHALL WOMEN VOTET This vexing question camo beforo Congress a few dayo ago, it camo to a final voto of IS ayes to 31 nays. This is not at all discouraging to tho minor ityindeed it is oncouraging, for tho matter was championed by sotuo of tho best men in Congress. Our own Sena tors stood by faithfully Senator Dolph giving somo vory pertiment replies to tho opposition who tried to mako tho question rodiculous by asking in tho us ual way "how can a woman sit an a jury with a young child in her armB?" To this Sonator Dolph gavo a dignifiod rcjonder that settled tho question. In tho city of Now York two ladies havo been appointed to tho board of ed ucation. Tho London school board has for yoars had n woman as ono of its most activo workors. CnolceHtelpes. Chcoso nnd Eggs Sandwich Qrato tho cheese, and to each cupful add tho yolks of thrco hard-boiled eggs, mincod fine; rub to a paste with a tea spoonful of butter, soason to taste with ? salt and pepper, and spread botweon uuucrcu urcau or cracKurs. lucbu uru nico mado of graham broad.

Halted Cako Two cups of sugar mixed with eno cup of butter ; half a cup of raisius, socded and chopped; half a cup of citron cut in small strips ; two oggs and ono cup and a half of bread dough. Mix all thoroughly to gether and let it mi no in tho pans be foro baking.

All tho ingredients for a spang) cako must bo of tho very best quality, uml the sugar and flour quite dry. Wny atrls Dont Marry. A prominent woman Physician of Itofitfm has freely expressed her convic tion that the great superiority in cul ture of so many of tho young girls of to day over that of tho average rcon who go early into Imsincrs exerts ono very bad effect, namely, that these young do not want to marry such men. There is no doubt a great deal of truth in tho statement. In fool, in other depart ments it has always been noticed that ono of tho f tending ill effects of tho cul ture, say, of flowers, has been to mako its votary prefer a tea rose to a head of cabbago, or, of music, to prefer a har monious orchestra to a discordant street band ; or, of roligion, to prefer piety to profanity. Now, thero is no reason why tho rule should not work equally in the case of marriage. Tho maxium that "any husband is better than no husband" bad once a great deal of truth in it, for the condition of the unmarried woman was in bygone days a forlorn one. She could no more help growing sour than milk in a thun storm. Any and every woman with the most insignificant sprig of a hus band could turn up her nose at her and embody a weight of public opinion in her contemptoua attitude that few sin gle unfortunates could have the dignity and self-respect to stand up against. To day, however, the scales tip tho other way with a vengeance. jjfoij $M MMrcik -' - - - e- -- TURNINO. OVER A NEW LEAP. The year begin. I tur J a leaf, All writ over with good resolves. Each to fulQIl will be in chief My aim while earth its round revo'ves. How many a leaf I'vo turned before, And tried to make tho record true; Ksch year a wreck on Timo's dull shore Proved much I dared, but littlo knew. Ah, bright resolve I Uow high you bear The futiue's hopeful standard on ; IIow bravo you start; how poor you wear! How soon aro hopo and courage pono I You point to deeds of sacrifice, You ahun tho path of careless ease; Lentils and wooden ahoctl It this Tho fare a human soul to please ? What wonder, then, if men do fall, Where good is over all austere; Whilo vlco is fair and pleasant all, And turns the leaf to lead the yearl Yet ttill once more I turn the leaf ; And mean to walk the better way; I struggle with old unbelief, And ttrivo to reaoh the perfect day. Why ahould the road that leads to heaven Be all ono reach of aterlile sand f Why not, just here and thore, be given A roso, to deck the dreary land I But why replnel Others havo trod, With aorer feet and heavier aina, Their painful pathway toward their God My pilgrimago anew begins. Failuro and failure, hitherto Has time (ascribed upon my lcavos; I'vo wandered many a harvest through, And nover yot havo gtthered sheaves. Vet onco again the leaf I turn, Hope against hope for one success ; One merit mark at least to earn; One sunbeam in tho wilderness. OUR LETTER BOX. Snow has conic at last to this valloy, but after a wcok of fun for our boys and girls, wo begin to hear tho welcome drip, drip, from tho cavos of our houeo. Whero snow and cold weather como as regular thing, and where provision is mado for ovory domentio animal, thon wo may find pleasure in wintor sports. Hut hero, whore many keep moro ani mals than can bo woll housed and fed. It brings pain to tho hoart to sco tho whito flakes coming down. Skating is a flnooxorciso, both for boys nnd girls. It is a graceful exorcise, too, whero tho skaters can master tho accomplishment. Mary says she has undertaken to help in Sunday School by teaching, This is a good beginning for Mary. It will call for somo study on her part. Sho roust proparo herself beforo Sunday coinos, so that sho may havo somothing to impart to her scholars. It is impor tant that evory child should know tho Conimandmonts by heart, and wo aro suro Mary will soo that a fow verses aro loarned for each Sabbath. Olon gives a short lettor this timo, but that is hotter than to send nono. Ho wilt got courago to writo more noxt timo. Who would think of buttercups iu winter? Delia too sends her good will to tho Circle. Wo think by this timo, unless a Chinook has como, that thoso butter cups aro under some deep whito snow. James writes a good hand, and spells correctly, too. Wo think ho has im proved tho opportunities beforo him. Wo judge from his letter that ho is ono of thoso livo boys, who will push ahoad, byo and byo growing up a straightfor ward man, with u shop of his own somo timo. If James is "Boss" of tho stablo, wo want him to soo that ihoso horses aro not abused not jorked, kickod, and whipped beforo they know what is wanted of them. A horso is a noblo animal, ono that wishes to do and to pnll to ploaso, and always will do their best if they only understand. But a horso may bo misused until ho has no intelligence. Let us know, James, what you think of this. Miuo.v, Jan. 2:t, 1887. Bditor Home Circle : I never havo wrote to tho Home Cir clo bofore I learned to reud the littlo lotters. It is raining horo to-day.

Editor Ilome Circle: As my last letter was in print, and my question answered I will write again. I had a very pleasant Christ mas and New Years. I wont to two social parties, one Christmas evo and the other New Years eve, and had a vary pleasant time at both. I hope all tho rcadors of tho Circlo had as ploasant a timo as I had. Wo havo a good SunJ day school, it averaged last month about 01, 1 havo taken part in tho Sun day school by taking a class, I do not know how I shall succeed, but I shall do my best. Our Sunday Bchool had a concert last Saturday ovoning, tho pro grammo was very good. I will answer Ea'1's question, tho Black Hawk war was in 1832. Yours Truly. Mara. Milton, Jan. 23, 1887, Editor Homo Circlet I thought I would writo to tho Homo Circlo, as I nover wrolo before. I am olovon years old. I study third reador and arithmetic and speller.

I will tell you about Central Point, Papa keeps a livery stablo and a blacksmith shop. Ho is agent for Sta vorand Walkor's machinery. Thoro is sixteen dwellings put hero in tho last two yoars, and two saloons, two mer chandise stores, ono hotel, two livery stablos and ono drug store.
