. ' f i t fylit oine irde. MU8 HARRIOT T. CLARKE, EstTOi A BIT OF EXPERIENCE. I have mot with a good many peoplo In Jogging o'er life's varied way; I'vo encountered tho clover, the limplo Tlio crabbed, tho ctravo and tho gray, I've traveled with boauty, with virtue, I'vo been with tho ugly, tho bad, I'vo laughed with the unoa who wero merry, And wept with tho onci who wero sad. One thing I have learned in my journoy Ne'er to judgo one by what ho appears. The eyes that seem sparkling with laughter Oft battle to keep back tho tears. And long sanctimonious faces Hide often tho souls that are vile; While the heart that is merry and cheerful Is often tho freshest from guilo. And I liavo learned not to look for perfection In ono of our frail human kind; In hearts tho most gontlo and loving, Some blemish of fault wo can find. But yot I havo no'er found the crcaturo So low, so doprayed, or so mean, But had aomo good Impulio aomo virtuo That 'mong his bad traits might be seen, And, too, I've learned that most friendships We make, nro brittle as glass, Jnst let a reverso overtake us Our "friends" on the 'othorsldo"pass, But, aht I havo found somo fow loyal Some hearts ovor loving and truo 1 And the joy and peaco thoy havo brought me, Havo chcerod mo my whole journoy thro' Dotton Travtttr, Alsatian Laco.

Sho goes out to feed tho fowls and in tho apron sho carries tho grain, in it sho brings back tho eggs; a chick en is sick and needs doctoring, tho apron is pinned around its nock lest it cscnpo while tho doso is being administered. Sho goos out to tho nest of a setting hon, finds a lot of chicks and into tho apron thoy go. A strango hen gets into tho yard ; a man will shoo in vain, but ono shako of that apron and out goon tho hon. Women who advocato mascu line apparel for women most certainly nover raised chickons or thoy would bo glad enough to wear tho dresses just for tho sake of tho aprons. Agriculturist. Mr. Beecaer on Dancing. People ask mo frequently, "Do you think that thero is any harm in danc ing?" Xo, I do not. Thero is much good in it. "Do you, then, object to dancing parties!" Xo ; in themselves, I do not. But where unknit youth, un ripe muscle, unsettled and unbardened nerve, nro put through an excess of ex citement, treated with stimulants, fed irregularly nnd with unwholesome food, surrounded with gayety which is exces sive, and which is protracted through hours when they should be asleep. I object, not becanso of the dancing, but WILLAMETTE FARMER; SALEM, OREGON because of tho dissipation. It is taking tho timo that unquestionably was in tendod for Bleep, and sponding it in tho highest stato of oxhilcration nnd excite ment. Tho harm is not in tho dancing itself; for if thoy danced as do tho peasants, in tho open nir, upon tho grass undor tho trees, and in tho day, it might bo commended, not as virtuous, but still as belonging to tlioso nogativo things that may bo beautiful. But tho wassail in tho night, tho wastefulness I will not say of precious hours, for hours nro not hnlf so precious ns corves aro tho dissipation, continued night after night, and week af tor week through tho wholo season, it is this I doprccato as oating out tho very life I am not suporstitious of observances, but I am nm always thankful that thero aro forty days of Lent in tho year, when folks can rost from their debauches and dis sipations; when no round of execssivo excitement in tho pursuit of ploasuro is pormittcd to como in and ruin tho health nnd oripplo tho nntural powers of tho young.

Wo moasurod tho riotous baby Against tho cottago wall, A lily grew at tho threshold, And tho baby was just as tall, A royal tigor lily, With spots of purplo and gold, And tho heart of a jowelrd chalico Tho fragrant dew to hold. Without tho blue-birds whittled High up in tho old roof trees, And to aud fro at tho window Tho red rose rocked her bees; And tho wee pink fist of tho baby Wero nover ft moment still, Snapping at shine and shadow That danced at tho lattice sill. Ilia oyes wero wide as bluobolls, Ills mouth liko a flower unblown; Two little bare feet, liko funny white mlco Peeped out from his snowy gown ; And we thought with a thrill of rapturo, That yet had a thrill of pain. When Juno rolls around with the roses Wo'll measure the boy apain. Ah, mel in a darkened chamber, With tho sunshine shut away, Through tears that foil like a bitter rain We measured tho boy to-day; And tho littlo baro feet that wero dimpled And sweet as a budding roto, Lay side by side togethor, In the hush of a long roposo. Up from tho dainty pillow, Whito as tho risen dawn, Tho fair littlo face lay smiling, With tho light of heaven thereon; And tho dear littlo hands like roso leaves Dropped from a roso, lay still, Never to catch the sunshine That crept to the shrouded sill. Wo measured tho sleeping baby With ribbons whito as snow, For tho shipping roiewood casket That waited him below ; And out of the darkened clumber Wo wont with a childish moan; To tho height of tho sinless angola Our littlo ono had grown. OUR LETTER BOX. How beautiful all naturo scorns just now everything bo fresh and sweet. Tho very nir is full of porfumo from tho blosoming trees. Tho birds bogin to como back from thoir wintor homo, and tho early morning hours is tho timo thoy chooso to sinu Bwootcnt, Thero is n bird in a trco oloso to my window that siugH overy hour in tho night, just giving ono burst of song, and then is silent for a time. How can boys liko to kill birds? Wo heard a mother not long ngo say with prido that her boys had killed a hundred with bow nnd lurows, and that sho mado a pio of them. How cruel and hard-hearted ono must bo to wish to de stroy tho littlo songtttorsl Thoro nro sociotics formed in somo places among young ladios, who promiso not to woar birds on their hats and bonnets for orna ments. Just think of tho tons of thous ands of bright colored birds which arc killed to trim lints I Somo boys mako a businoss and do nothing olso but trap tho pretty things to soil to merchants. Charloy lives in Eastern Orogon. Ho tells of tho horso thoy use, which is twonty years old. Now wo nro suro that horso has had a kind ownor, who fed and watered him regularly, and who did not ovor work him, and who kept him from oxposuro to cold nnd wot. Tho horso is man's roost usoful friond, yot soo how dreadfully ho is abused and mistroatod. About eight years is tho avorago ngo of n horse now, whilo thoy would bo strong and usoful for twonty years, with merciful enro. Charley doos not writo a very long letter, but man ages to say a good deal in a small spaco. That is ono of tho socrots of being a good letter-writer. So Chnrloy must keep writing. Wo nro suro his sharp eye will seo something to tell about. Helping mothor wijw dishce is just what overy boy ought to do whero thoro is no sister to do it. Our constant friend, Floronco May, kcops us posted about herself. We count her as ono of the best frionds of tho Circle And so Lizzie is married 1 Wo had not thought her to bo old enough to go so far away from horn and loving family. Wo hopo aho will not miss tho dear sister left behind. This is a very iniortant event in a young girl's life, und it is too often that marriago conies without proper reflec tion. Taking this step beforo proper ago and maturity, then coma sickness, hard work, and often prematura death. Young girls should not bo in too groat hasto to leave homo, and to take caro and responsibility upon themselves Wo hopo Florence will find as much comfort in her flowers as wo do. But if sho cannot keep tho chickens out of it, thero will bo many a heart acho beforo blossoms como. John writes well, showing that he APRIL 29. Ibb7. takes pains to learn to write.
