CLARKE, KPiroa A WATCH AND A WOMAN. A watch nd a woman mo strangely akin! To prove what I say I'll quickly begin, She's nicely adjusted to heat and tocold, To win her, bo modes yot sufficiently bold. When her mainspring is lovo sho is true as tho steel That makes tho cogs useful to govern the wheel. Your fold is alloyed, she has tho truo ring Of the metal, unmtxt with a spurious thing. Of delicate form not rnado to be shakon; If you think t'wiil help hor, you're greatly mistaken. The jowles sho has aro her virtue and truth, Gems that don't tarnish llko poor Hooting youth, Her hands are qulto slonder, but point with roproach When, "lato at lodge," you roll homo in a a coach. Don't do itl her faco will soon ho bri?ht As a star peeping thtough the curtain nf night. Never lot hor run down inspirits or health, Think of her always as part of yourself. Do as I tell you sho'll perfect timo keep, Till the works are hushed in tho last poaceful sleep. -. .v. Quarreling. Wo find tho following excollont eonti monta going tho rounds ot tho press. They aro ho very corroct that every per son, wliothor thoy follow tho procoptB thoy sot down or not, must npprovo of them. Ono of tho most ensy, tho most com mon, most perfectly foolish things in tho world is to quarrel, no matter with whom, man, woman or child, or upon what protenco, provocation or occasion whatsoever. Thorn is no kind of neces sity in it, no matter of uso in it, and no snecics or decroo of benefit to bo cainod bv it. and vot. stranco as tho fact may bo, theologians quarrol, and politicians, lawyers, doctors and princes duarrol, tho church quarrols, and tho Statoquar- rols: nations and tribes, and corpora lions, men, womon and children, dogs and cats, birds and beasts, quarrol about all manner of things, and all mannor of occasions. If tliero in any thine in tho world that will iniilco a man fcol bad, except pinching his finger in the crack of tho door, it is uniiuos tionably a quarrel. No man ovor fails to think loss of himsolf after than ho did beforo ono ; it degrades him in his own ovca and in tho cvs of others, and what is worso, blnntR his sensibility to disgraco on tho ono hand and increases tho power of passionato irritability on tho other. Tho truth is, tho mora quietly and peaceably wo all got on tho bottor ; tho better for ourselves, tho better for our neighbors. In nino cases out of ten, tho wisest courso is if n man clients you to ouit doalintr with him ; ii bo is abusivo quit his company ; if ho slandors you, tho wisest way is generally just to lot nun uiuuu ; ior inert) m noiuing uuiivr than this cool, calm, quiet way of doal ing with tho wrongs wo moct with. CHOICE RECIPE). Brown Hetty. Groaso n pudding dish, put into this a layer of nice cook ing apples, sliced, then a layer of bread crumbs, with sugar sprinkled, and small bits of butter. For throo apples uso ono cun ot bread crumbs, one-halt cup sugar and a pioco of butter tho size of an egg. rut a layer or bread crumbs on top ; bako. It is very nice with cream. Sacio FunniNfi. Ono pint of milk, thrco tablespoonfuls of rwgo, one-half cup of butter, ono cup of sugar, four eggs. Soak tho sugo in water two hours, then put tho milk on tho etovo and stir tho sago in ; add tho butter and tho sugar aftor it is cold ; niirin tho whites and yolks of tho eggs beaten sep arately. Hake. Chickks Sour. Out up one chicken and put it into two quarts of milk; son son with salt and popper. When about half dono add two tablespoonfuls of barley or of rice. Whon this is dono remove the chickon from the soup, tear or cut part of the breast into small piecos and add to tho boup with a cup of cream. Silvkr Cakk. Ono cup of butter, thrco cups of sugar beaten to a cream . four cups of flour and half-cup of corn starch, added alternately with a cup of sweet milk, (wo toaspoonfitls baking powder, flavor to taste; lastly, the whites of twelve eggs beaten to a stifl froth. Chbai' Son-. To two quarts of water add a half can of tomatoes, a carrot slic ed fine, a half-cup of rice, one potato cut into small piecos and a little pars ley. IJoil one hour; season with pep po , salt and n lump of butter. Canned Arm: Baitk. Cook and make into sauce ready for tho table. Then put it up in self-scaling bottles. In this way we can have a good supply of sauce for the table, and for apple pics during all the early summer, when other free fruits are scarce. Properly sealed, it u as delicious as that freshly proparod, and by making a quantity of it at a time, it is quito nn economy of labor. Then in tho winter othor fruit bottles aro usually empty, and thero is no outlay roqmrcd for tuom. i am very careful, however, to havo every por tion of tho decayed fruit cut away, as tho least part left will impair tho flavor ot tho whole. Apple Jelly. Cook tho apples as for sauce, and drnin through n flannel bag, boing careful not to squeczo it much, ns the jolly will bo fairer without. Thon to each pint of tho juico add a pound of sugar, and a littlo lemon juice, or tho oxtract, if ono has not tho fresh fiuit. Doll it HO or '10 minutes, or until it jells. Somo fruits thicken sooner than others. Then pour into glasses or bowls, and Bcal as for othor jelly. Chkaii Carrots. Peel and slico thin boil until tender; thon drain off water add butter and lot them simmer a while, thon turn on rich milk with flour enough to mako a gravy. They aro nico without tho milk for a chaugo. Spoxoe Cake. Quo teacup of pow dered or fino white sugar, thrco eggs, one-fourth of n teaspoon of soda, ono- half teaspoon of cream of tartar, ono teacup of flour, flavor with vanilla. Ginger Cookies. Two and one-half cups of molasses, ono cup of sour milk, half a cup of butter, thrco teaspoonfuls of soda, a littlo giugor, grated or pow dered; flour sufficient to roll out. Strawberry Jam. Chooso tho straw berries not too ripo, of a firm sort, and good color. Allow throofourth pounds sugar to every pound of fruit, put them into tho proserving-pan, and stir very gontly so as not to break tho fruit, boil for half an hour, and put into pots, cov ering in tho usual way. Cheiiky Jam. Allow half tho weight of tho fruit in sugar, then stono tho chorrios, and put them in a preserving pan, and boil them for half nn hour, next add tho sugar, which must bo crushed to powdor; also ono pint of rod- currant juico to ovcry six pounds of chorrios, add ono pound sugar to each piut of currant juico ; boil all togothor till it jollies, which will bo in about half an hour skim and kcop it woll stirred ; crauk somo of tho stonos and put tho kernels in to flavor tho jam, covor when cold. Hlack Cuukant Jam. Tho fruit must bo gathered on a dry day, strip it from tho stalks, and put it into n preserving pan, allowing to each pound of fruit ono gill of water, boil theso iogothor for ten minutes, thon add three-fourth lb, loaf sugar to ovcry pound of fruit, and boll again for halt an hour or oven longer, if it docs not appear to set whon a littlo is poured on a plate, kcop stir ring to prevent its burning, romovo tho scum ns it risos, pour into pots, and whon cold covor with paper dipped in brandy. Rep Currant Jelly. Gather the fruit in very fino dry woathcr, pick it from the stalks, put it into a jar, and placo in a saucepan of boiling water over a good flro, let it simmor gontly until mo juico is drawn from tlio cur rants, then b train them throuch a jolly- bag, but do not squoozo thorn very mucli. Measure tlio juico, and to every quart allow 1A pound loaf sugar; put tuoso in a preserving-pan and sot it over tho iiro and kcop stirring tho jolly until it is sufficiently boilod; bo careful to romovo all tho scum as it rises, using a wooden spoon, a metal ono will spoil tho tho color. Whon it has boiled for about half an hour, put into small pots, and cover in tho usual way. Giiapk Jelly. Put tho grapes in a prcberving-pan with just enough water to provent their burning, whon hot, rub them through a fino siovo to get out tho seed and skins , weigh tho pulp, and to each pound put 5 lb pounded Btigar, boll three-quarters of an hour. Pour into (Kits, cover in tho usual way. This is a good way of utilizing outdoor gtapes, which in somo seasons do not ripon woll. Tne Greatest Study of Mankind Is Han. "Head mo for my caue, and bo pa tient that yo may read." Shakespeare. The greatest study of mankind is man, Ana wno e re nis wonurous irame doth scan, Ponder and devise to cure an ill, Whether by device, fruit or pill, An equal benefactor is he; and we haste, The inventor of a cathartic of delicious taste, To do him honor. Who remembers not how the distressed mother, Her child's entreaties tries to smother. That she insist not the horrid dose be tiken, The remembrance e'en now does cusua awaken, And fond father. To be witness of hit child's torture, would rattier I'ay nigh price, If money could pnrchase Cathartic nice. We have it now) and great Dtt 1'rati'k name Appears upon the scroll ol K.culapian (amn; For after long study what would suit, Has hit upan iiklicioch mtiiT To cure our ills. Away at once with draughts and pills; For whether it be indigestion, liver com plaint or Constipation, Or any disease to which Sesh is heir, He here with pride does boldly declare, And on the assertion will wager big, That it csn b cured by a HAMBURG FIG I At drngui'ts, 25 eta. a box. J.J.Mack & Co., proprietors, San Francisco. Ijlttj Iulilren. A VERY INTELLIGENT BIRD. We convorso somo timo together You may think it qulto absurd But I found that quail In tho orchard A most intolligont bird. Ho chose a shady corner, IMoro ho would alight; I inquired! "'What it your mine si.? He said at once, "Uob White," He had an air of business, Tho knowing littlo sprite! So I asked about his family ; Ho said at once, "All right." I thought I'd like to see them, And ask him if I might; Perhaps it was tho thought of toait That mado him say, "Not quite." "Permit mo junta glanco, sir, Thoy must be n cunning sight- Then tell mo what's the reason,'' Ho winked and said, "Too bright." I said, "Don't you got dizzy When you swing at snsh a height?" lie hopped upon a loftier twig, Thon answered back, "You might." Though from answers dissyllahlo Ho novcr served a mito; Yot ho always had an answer, Tho roguish littlo wight. At last I tried to catch him Ho showed no signs of iright, But simply spread his wlnglots, And chippored back, "Good-night." Your parrots and your mocking-birds." You may think aro very bright) For wit and for Intolliscnce I recommend "Hob White," Tit Congrpjotlonalfot, OUR LETTER BOX. Aunt Hetty has folt so hurt to sco how hor littlo friends has forgotten tho letter box. But this wcok sho finds enough to fill tho column, and as fall approaches, sho hopos that tho boys and girls will begin to think onco moro of tho Homo Circlo, nnd its friends. Tho first ono opened comes from Florence May. It is a very nico letter induod, rather longer than many write, and it is full of good things. Wo think Florcnco might mako n good nowspapor corrcs pondent, for sho thinks of so much to write about, that would interest rcadors. How nico it would havo been to havo had a tasto of Elk meat. It must bo a wild country where thoy can bo found in this way. For as tho country has eottled up, elk and deer havo passed away, and only a fov aro now found in tho mountains. If Floronco and her brothor could only got somo young elk and tamo them, thoy could sell them to peoplo who havo Parks, whoro such an! mals aro kopt as curiositios. Only a littlo whilo longer and thero will not bo any left. Tho bullalo has almost on tiroly disappeared, and whon Aunt Hot ty crossed tho plains, thirty-six years ago, thero wero herds of them to bo scon grazing in tho distance, but thoy would go stamping away as soon as our train came in sight, making tho ground shako and roar with tho thunder of tlieir heavy foot. And O, tho thousands of bleaching bones and skulls wo used to sco, whero theso great animals had been killod for their skins. Tho Indians used to bo as careful as wo aro now with our stock, thoy novcr killed gamo only to eat, and for use. Thoy woro careful to savo tho best, to grow and livo. Tho young men would drivo gamo up into a spaco of a few miles, info a favorable locality, and then the oldest and best hunters would go in and kill with judg inent, reserving tho best to brood for their future use. Thoy never killed ani mals for spoil, as ninny white people do. A pair of elk to a carriago would be fino Indeed. But wo think horses would scaro at them worso than at a locomo tive. Theso horns will bo worth com ing to see, and tell papa to koop a pair, for Aunt Hetty is snroly coming to seo them, and to seo Floronco Muy, who gives such a nice invitation to como. Tell mamma she is happier now, with the six dear ones about hor, than sho evor will bo after they aro grown up and gone away from her protecting eye. 0! how often hor heart will ache to- see them, and sorrow for them too. Now she can tuck them all In bed and know they are well off and happy undor her care. Even tho swoet little baby Willie will grow up and be gone before sho knows it. How nico to have such big fish, too. Wo wish Florence would give another of her good, long letters. Jennio sends another good letter. Her pet chickens makes us think of ono we bad when a littlo girl, that would follow us to school every day, unless we fastened it in a coop. 01 bow we did love itl But it had no chicken sense, growing up as it di1, for after it got to be a big hen, it commenced sitting on some clam shells, and sit there till it fairly dried, it was so poor. It norer cured for chicken society at all. Jennio is piecing a quilt. Thnt is right. Savo nil tho pieces of dresses, it will bo ploiiB ant to look at thorn years from now. We aro glad to hear from our friend Julia again. Wo so well rciuombcr tho dear aunt for whom sho was named, who died in early life, and who was so snmit and lmou. It would bo a very nico thing to exchango pieces with somo of tho other girls. Now girls, sco if somo of you. who havo been silent so long, cannot turn ovor a now leaf, nnd begin to write onco moro to tho Circle. Wo used to havo so many lottore that wo hardly know how to get thorn all printed and ovorybody likes to read thorn whilo it is a benefit to tho writor, too. Grants Pass, Or., Aug. 15, 1887. Editor Homo Circlo As I havo never scon an letters from this county, I thought I would writo one. I am cloven years old. Our placo is four milos from Grants pass. Wo used to livo on a form, thrco miles from Salom. This is a mountainous country, but thoy raiso lots of fruit hero. I havo a largo, black and white cat; his namo is Jack. My sister has thrco pet chick ens; tho old lion that hatched thorn would not claim thorn, so mamma took thorn away and gavo them to my sister. Wo had a grand eclobration here, tho Fourth of July, everybody had a nico time. Wo had a public dinner. It is vacation now, and I am piecing a quilt. I wash tho dishes, sweep tho floor, and tako enro of tho chickens. I think this lottcr ia long onough for tho first one, so I will close. Yours truly. Jennie B. Adams. Acme, Lank Co. On. Aug. 10, '87. Editor Homo Circlo: Dear Aunt Hetty papa brought tho Faumek homo tho other evening and I looked tho first thing to sco it my letter was in print and was vory proud to sco it ip print, I think you a very kind Aunt Hetty to tako so much tronblo for us children, I think tho childronhadoughi to try and mako it interesting and writo moro loiters so wo could havo somo printed ovory week. I could writo ono every week but I am afrnidl would tiro Annt Hetty's pationca and wear out my wolcomo. I and my brothor havo bought us it pair ot turkoys and wo aro going to see how mauy wo can raiso next summer. My papa went out hunting tho other day and killed two big fat oik. I would liko to send you a pioco of elk steak, If you would vat oik meat onco you wouldn't cat any moro beef. Wo havo been thinking of getting a couplo of young elk to raiso taincg Aunt Hetty how would you liko a pair of tamo elk to hitch to your carriago when you went out riding? I wish you could soo somo of tho oik horns that my papa killod last summer, somo of thorn were uiiarly six feet high. You wanted to know how to como down hero and I will tell you. Get on tho cars at Salom and como to Eugono City, tako tho stago thoro and como to tho head of tido and thoro get on tho stoamor and como down to Florence. You must scud me word whon you aro ready to como and I will moot you thero on tho steamer. I Inn got a littlo baby brothor ho is only thrco months old, ho has big bluo eyes , wo named him Willio after one of my moth er's favorite, brothors, ho will laugh aud coo and can almost sit alono. I expect Annt Hetty your babys are grown up and can tako caro of themselves , my mamma thinks sho will get some rest whon wo all got grown up ; thero is six of us, is not that a house full. Every body hero is going to fith hero this fall thoy havo caught a fow alroady thero aro thrco cannorys horo on the river they put up so von cases of t-almon hero yesterdayj thoy caught some that weighed forty pounds. Aunt Hetty I would liko to send you a nico big fresh salmon just out of salt water right in this letter but as I can't I will send you my lovo and closo; from your loving niece, Yw rlnck M a y Ci a uno. Oakland, Ogn., Aug. 7 '87. Editor Home Circlet Wo went blackberrying and stayed over a week and gathered over twenty gallons and had lots ot fun. I wish you could havo been with us; it has boen smoky for the past week ; school will tart in a week or o. I am piecing a quilt it is called a friendship quilt. I would liko to exchange pieces with somo of the girls. I have two quilts done and will quilt ono of them this week. I will close for this time. Yours truly, Julia B. Raymond Backlea's Aralea Halve.
