Demorest's Monthly stands unrivalled as a
Family Magaiine. Its choice Literature, its
superior Music, its large amount of valuable
information on mi-scellaneous subjects, its
practical and reliable information in regard to
the fashions, and artistic illnstrations, give it a
just claim to its well-earned title, "The Model
Magazine of America."
3omc fife.
One marked difference between ani
mate and iuauimate objects is the need of
the former for a home. Even the most
minute insects have their homes, the
birds their nests, the beasts their lairs ;
every animal left to itself, finds a home
in which it enjoy happiness. Most of
all is this necessity manifest in the
human race. ; and the greater the civil
ization, the more tenacious is this
clinging to home, aud the more profuse
are the meau3 brought to bear to per
fect its arrangements. The wandering
Arab may content himself by pitching
his tent from time to time; but the
civilized man longs for some permanent
spot, however humble, sacredly guarded
from the outer world, where he may
gather his family around him and en
joy the blessiugs of home life.
When the young are suddenly re
moved from the restraints and influ
ences of their early homes, and are no
Jonger under the eye of those they have
"been accustomed to respect, then conies
their chief time of trial and danger.
Travel, with all its advantages of en
larging the mind, is not without its
risks in the character. 3Iany who are
exemplary at home are reckless and
dissipated abroad. White expansion of
mind is gained, the powers of concen
tration are often impaired , and though
useful as an exceptional reireshment
and invigoration, a life of constant
travel would be no more beneficial to
the soul than the substitution of tonics
for food would be for the body. The
effects of hotel life are equally injuri
ous ; and all experience proves that the
true family resting place, the home,
where parents and children blend in
loving unison, is indispensable to the
well being of society, and the happiness
of the individual.
If this need of homo be so inherent
in our natures, and so important to our
welfare, it becomes the duty of all to
gee to it that they contribute their
share to its establishment and perpetu
ation. This obligation, in some of its
many forms, rests upon everyone. The
father who maintains the household,
the mother who directs it, the children
who arc its joy, are all active and re
sponsible agents in making home the
centre of their truest life, the birth
place of noble aspirations and generous
affections, and tho spot to which the
aaaemory of future years will cling most
fondly. These blessings need not be
.confined only to those who are near of
kin. There are many who, from van
ous circumstances, have become tempo
rarily homeless. They have, perhaps,
cut loose from family ties, aud have
come to the city to engage in the eager
.struggle of life; but they have no
haven of rest for their moral and social
refreshment they have no home. It
is a noble and a worthy deed to wel
come them to some degreo of participa
tion in the pleasures of our own house
holds. Mauy a young person has been
saved from ruin, and rescued from evil
companions, by tho simple welcome of
a friend, to share in the innocent enjoy
ments of the family fireside. A home
: Jces life is a desolate aud sorrowful thing.
The conception of the felicity possi
Lie to be realized by true homo life falls
usually far short of a true standard,
The means of happiness within the
reach of every household are greater
than they are aware of, and lio more
closely within their reach, ltiches may
purchase luxuries, but can never buy
the sweet content and satisfaction that
flow over the humblest household where
affection and order reign supreme. In
the world, the selfish principle gathers
depth and intensity from the very
nature of the struggle. But home res
cues us from utter selfishness. Here we
learn the beauty of generosity, the
depth of affection, the selt-abnegation
that only love can teach. Let us, then,
cherish our homes as the most sacred
treasures, guarding them jealously from
all that can embitter or defile, yet gen
erously opening them to cheer and com
fort those who are less highly favored.

What Cenius may do with Paper.
Our forefathers would have been
astonished and iucredulous had they
been told that in 1871 men would have
imbibed the habit of making drinking
cups out of old directories, or bread-
pans out of obsolete hymn books. It
mi-ht even now surprise some of the
publishers of the West to know that
the Slcdije Hummer or thvi County
Bugle, which they publish is likely to
enter into the ' composition of a fancy
wash bowl, a rnilk pan or pail, or even
a spittoon, and return to them after
many days gaily enameled and deco
rated, ready lor other uses.
Yet these wonders are being per
formed daily in our city, and we would
uot be surprised to know that we are
destined to-morrow to eat dinner from
a copy of the Reporter which had
strayed into the mills of Jennings
Bros., and had been ground, baked and
decorated into a first-class household
utensil.
Messrs. Jennings, Ilros. have shown
a great deal of enterprise in this mat
ter. Their Japanese paper ware is now
selling in New York in such a lively
manner that the couutry will soon
know what it means.
The great advantage of the material
is that it is perfectly light and easily
handled, has no rough joiuts or ob
structions, does not rust out, shrink,
leak or brcak requires no repairs, and
is really superior to anything in wood or
metal, from the variety of purposes for
which it can be used.
The process of manufacture is kept,
of course, to some extent a secret. Hut
it is easily seen that the material is
tough, fibrous and elastic. In the en
ameling process the articles are sub
jected to extraordinary heat, which
virtually glares them and makes them
able to resist acids and other destro ing
agents which so readily enter the fibre
of wood or the pores of metal, to their
eventual destruction.
The milk pails manufactured by the
house will be particularly popular, be
ing perfectly inodorous and non-conductors.
These, as well as house pails
of all descriptions, are. it should he
stated, entirely without hoops, aud are
maue from a single piece or material
The paper, being pulped, is pressed to
shape, dried, enameled, and subjected j
to a heat which would destroy some
utensils of the kind. Farmers will find j
these eoods particularly valuable fiorn
the fact that they can lay them aside
after the busy season, and find them
again as good as new. There is no
moth to corrupt them, and nothing
upon which rust can fasten. News

A gentleman in Swanhill, Mass., has
recently imported from Europe a selec
tion of poultry noted not only for their
serviceable and game qualities, but also
for their remarkable intelligence. At
the sound of a bell they skip up a lad
der, and while awaiting their meal on
the second floor, prcservo the utmost
decorum, standing in file, awaiting
further orders. The meal being placed
before them one at a time, is considered
inviolate until all are served, aud even
then they remain abstinent until a
second sound of the bell gives the sig
nal. During the meal there is no in
terference with each other's portiou ;
the utmost, propriety is observed, and.
as each finishes his repast, he stands
quietly awaiting the bell which an
nounccs that the meal is over, when, in
military style, the fowls proceed in
single file down the ladder to disport
themselves as they please.

Thirty three Whaling Vessels Crushed
in tho Ice
The steamship Moses Taylor arrived
from Honolulu and Australia, reports
having boarded the water-logged brig
Shelchoff, from San Francisco to Callao,
and found all dead except the captain,
who was saved, though hardly breath
ing, lie also reports a terrible disaster
to the arctic whaling fleet, caught in
the ie. Th.ir.ty three vessels were
crushed or abandoned. The captains
of the whalers Arctic, Clay head, Mi
nerva, Eliza Swift, lleindeer, Eugenia
and Lucia, who had arrived at Hono
lulu, furnished the following details of
the lo: s of the whaling fleet :
" The vessels commenced arriving,"
says Capt. Thadius, on the 1st of May;
the 1st of Juue the ice opened and let
the fleet up within sight of Xavarino,
the fleet working northward. Found
some whales crossing the sea of
Anadter, and in H.; bring sea more
plenty, but experienced much trouble j
iVom the ice, and when the fleet arrived j
at Cape Hehring and Flower Hay, the j
whales had passed through into the
Arctic Ocean, whither the fleet fol
lowed, meeting with fair success, until
about the 1st of September, when ice
floes and berg- to a great extent com
menced drifting down, and by the 10th
a number of vessels had been sunk,
and the bulk of the remainder hemmed
in by the drifting ice, -or driven a.-hore.
On the 2d of" September the brig
Comet sunk. On the 7th tho Unman
vm drifted out to sea by two floes, and
cru.-hed like an egg shell. The crew
narrowly escaped. The Florida and
Victoria of San Francisco were also
crushed.
The captain of the fleet, hemmed in
between Point Hclcherand Wainwright
inb't hel d a n et-tintr, and resolved - to
abandon the vcsm Is, in ord r to .mvo
the lives of the crews. Thi- was done,
and twelve hundred sailors took r fug
on bourd the remainder of the fleet
which lunl been fortunate enough to
escape outside before the ice closed in
the vessels. The vessels abandoned
arc the 'Concordia, lay bend, (leorgr,

Thompson, Contest, G. Morgan, Cham

the oil secured are as follows; Arctic,
with -ISO barrels; Progress, L'Tti barrel-;

Tin: nivr.'s mistake.
There is explosive material in every
husband's disposition, and the wife
t i ..i
knows well where it lies, yet often
persists in dropping a ?pnrk ju.-t in that
very spot, aud yet affirms that she is
not to blame. That, very amunition
might have been a defense against for
eign enemies, and tho safeguard of the
home which it his .destroyed, bad it
been wisely guarded. Tlx? wife who
docs not, give her husband i kindly
welcome after his city toil, docs not
deserve any of the blessings which that
toil brings her. Hut th'-y will say,
" The children and the servants worry
our lives out, and our husbands don't
know anything about what we have to
go through. Their work is easy com
pared with that," etc lut stop my
dear friends the troubles of household
affairs are of a very temporary nature.
Oh, wives! if you wish your husband's
intellect to be clear and sound in busi
ness, keep them free from worry at
home, You have alleviations ; you
have nurseries and nursemaids. The
children are out of doors a great part
of the time, aud often sleep during the
day; you are quite at liberty to inflict
the non-chcrubic punishment upon the
refractory little, one.-;, and to give your
domestics a scolding if they really de
nerve it, or to dismiss them if they will
not mend; but for mercy's sake "don't
vent your reasonable or unreasonable
irritation upon him who has to bear the
real burden and heat of the day. If
you do, you arc filing away the chief
corner stone of your home, and will find
too late that you have been a female
Samson, and have pulled it all down
upon you.

THIi I1HST IIOMI2 MAUKUT,
We believe that any good farmer
can make more clear money and better
employ his time, one year with another,
by feeding the produce of the farm to
such stock as cattle, sheep, goals swine,
chiekcus, etc., than by depending upon
the ordinary markets, and going to the
expense of shipping his grain, etc., to
speculators.
This sort of farming will keep up
the fertility of the soil, and beets,
squashes and other vegetables can be
grown to feed with the barley, oats,
wheat, rye, peas, and hay aud pastur
age. Corn, sorghum and grain all
make good green feed for soiling. The
various grains should be coarsely
ground together and fed in limited
quantities. The stubble fields will
make good pasturage until the rains,
and by that time, or soon after, the
stock should be fattened for the mar
ket, 'there is a better or. citing for a
jU..jlu., ,,f tins kind in thi-. State than
a
j,, M1)y utIu.r State or country that we
b. lll)vV (,f. The following from th
American Agriculturist, if we include
other graius witli corn, is something to
the point :
"Huilrnadand canal boats are cxccK
lent institutions, but I have never yet
found so good a way to send corn to
market as on the font legs of a well
fattened animal. A bullock or a hog
will pack away a few bu-hols of corn
more snugly than any fieight ma-ter
could do, and it bring better prices,
after they have worked it over intu
pork aud beef than in the raw state.
With the exception of wheat, and per
haps rye, I would not s 11 a peck of
grain from my farm, except for seed.
Along in the Summer, wh-u pasture
scarce, r.nd ldenty of cattle are to be
picked up, I vuro nough 'o conuihf;
til the Corn I ein puo over what wiH
be needed to JaJteii my hog- (thc-e I
raie at home), and just before cool
weather commences, 1 set the 1 eel fac
tories to wt rk. The chips give me
ruvfi in the shape of manure, enough
to make the operation pay, even if I
could only get the price of grain as
before feeding it out , but there is a
gain here, too."
I 1 1 1 s i i it i ii ; s t I M i
The avenge yield of wheat in the
Willamette Valley this year h about
thirty bushels to the acre, and the total
yield will be about one third more than
it was last year. The spring vown wheat
has not been as productive as during
some former years.
The present season will be one of un
usual prosperity fur the farmers of Ure
.m, who have heretofore sold their
wheat for from 50 to GO cent- per
tiusiicl, while this year they will avcr-
i;fo more than 1 a bushel ; oats that
tui meriy soul ior .) cents now sell tor
75; wool that in previous years suhl fr
15 and 20 cents, is now selling at from
30 to 10 cents. This advance in the
products of the farm will give an im
mense impetus to farming in that
State, and the breadth of land sown
will he still largely increased in the
earning season. Much advantage will
also be derived from the establishment
of direct trade between the Columbia.
Itiver and the win at markets abroad.
Some idea of the extent to which
wheat growing may bo carried in Ore
gon, with the world for a market, may
be inferred from the fact that the Wil
lamette Valley alone, is capable of pro
ducing 100,000,000 buhcls per an
num. A spleudid future is in early
store for Oregou. Pacific Rural

Fifteen women were indicted last
year in Prussia for poisoning their bus-,
bands or other relatives. Nine were
convicted, but none of them were exe
cuted. In Frnnce, iu 18tl,), twenty
nine ni:irricd women were tried on im
ilar chut'oerf, and fourteen convicted.
These fourteen were mostly sentenced
to very loi terms of imprisonment. In
Sweden, seven ,vt re prosecuted in the
year 180, lor murdering persons by
iidnmiistcring poison to them ; live of
them were convicted and sentenced to
tho State-prison for life. The most
atrocious case of poisoning in Kussia,
in the year 1800, was that of tho widow
of a wealthy I'ussian lauded proprietor
near Azow, who was prosecuted for hav
ing caused, by administering poison to
them, the death of no less than cloven
perscus, mostly relatives of her husband.
She wan not convicted, but ordered to
leave the country.
It is never wise, says Hearth, and
Home for a farmer to borrow money
rather than sell his crop, banners
who have money in hand can do as they
please j fur all others it thinks it is
better to well as soon as they can.
