HEALTH CF FARMERS.

There are seven reasons why farmers
are healthier than professional men,
viz:
l. They work more and develop all
the muscles of the body.
. They take exercise in the open
air, and breathe a greater amount OF
oxygen.
& Their food and drinks are common
" less adulterated and are far more
simple.
4 They do not overwork the brain as
much as professional men.
). They take their sleep during the
hours of darkness, and. do not try to
turn night into day.
G. They are not ambitious, and do
= not wear themselves out so rapidly in
the fierce contest Of rivalry.
:. Their pleasures are simple and less
exhausting.-E'r
The above is delightful theory, and
we should be glad TO see it proved by
practice. But statistics prove that
there are more lunatics and hopeless
maniacs among farmers than all other
classes of people. They prove that the
lives of professional men and women
are longer than the lives of farmers and
farmers wives, and they prove that,
notwithstanding the farmers advan-
tages, he is a very slave TO his occupa-
ton. Especially is this true of the far
mer's wife, who rises long before the
dawn-thus turning the best part of the
night into day-that she may thereby
have meals in readiness for band of
wOrkmen. Then farmers wives have
little or no exercise in the open air.
They too often rise from couch of pain,
after their sleep has been broken by the
restlessness Of puny infant, and pro-
ceed forthwith to the kitchen, where,
amid the sitting odors of burning
grease and steaming coffee, they pre-
pare the morning meal So much for
woman's delightful season of sleep, and
so much for her exercise in the open
air. We know whereof we speak, for
we tried it faithfully for half a score OF
years.
Now, it is folly to expect women to
bear and foster a healthy generation
under such regime. Therefore far
mers, in spite of the "seven" above
enumerated ''reasons," are not healthier
than professional men, though they
ought TO be, and doubtless 1rould be
were it not that the mothers of men arc
denied the opportunity for the healthy
exercise and refreshing sleep which men
unanimously accord to the lower ami
mails during the gestatory and nursing
period. This is a grand subject, en-
bracing the fundamental principle,
upon which the world must act if we
would mentally EIffttstf1ySf and physically inn
Prove humanity.

LETTER FROM MRS. o. T. DANIELS.

SALEM, Oregon, Aug. llth, ISL.
Dear Mrs. Dniray believing as 1
do, that woman's power should be equal
with mans to make and control her own
social conditions, l cannot refrain from
speaking on a subject which, to me,
seems perfectly horrible. Not many
months since the press of this State pub
lished full account of the true charac-
ter of Jas. d. Fay. At least we have as
yet none of the proof which he says he
can bring to gainsay the charges against
his character. But l notice that the
same papers which published full ac-
counts of his atrocious and worse than
brutal act are speaking of him as Hon
ord6Ie. My heart burns with contempt
and Indignation Why should man
be called honorable when it is publicly
known that he did not scruple to rob
poor, weak, dependent girl Of her virtue,

For The New Northwest.
Morning in the Mounfains.

Upon the mountains brow stood,
And gazcd upon the tall, green wood
That grew adown the rugged side,
Bearing its heads with lofty pride
Far, far above the babbling stream,
That rushing, dancing In the beam
or rising sun, which glories threw
Deep in the valley gemmed with dew;
The laughing waters on were hid
Behind some rocky pyramid,
That. stern and cold, half-bloeked the way
The gurgling waters chose to play.
I gazed with deep, intense delight
Upon the awe-inspiring sight.
Beneath the broken mountain chain
Extended lay the valleys plain,
And westward, FAR as eye could reach,
Were mountains, rising each DER each,
Seeming to circle round again
And Join .he rugged, Ioftier reign
OF others, soft with morning light
And misty vapors Of the night,
That rising round me, half-coneealcd
The beauty that the sun revealed;
While to the north, so plainly seen,
White with her cold and frozen sheen
Ofdecp and never melting SHOWS,
Mount Rainier stood in calm repOse;
And eastward, toward the rising sun,
With grandeur that is all his own,
Scoruing the warmth the sunbeams east
Upon his SHOWS, as in the past,
With sunlight slanting O'er his side,
Mount Hood arose i'm solemn pride.
! thought how centuries had flown,
And time was speeding swiftly on;
And yet il seemed as if no trace
OF feeting years was on the face
Ofnature, silent, wild and grand,
The work Of the Almighty hand
or Great OmnipOtencc. With solemn awe,
At natures altar bOwing low,
Ny soul was filled with holy thought,
And purified, lcit the spot.

HISTORY OF OREGON.

We are the favored recipient of copy
of w. H. Gray's History of Oregon,
which we have delayed to notice from
time to time for several weeks, in the
hope that We should have time to give
the work thorough perusal. We have
lately had time to examine the book,
and find that it will amply repay a stu
diOus investigation. The style is sim
pie, uncOnstrained and natural, and
though the authors prejudices crop out
very forcibly in some places, yet we
think he clearly substanziates good rea-
sons for them.

y VISIT FROM AN EDIToR.-We had
the honor of call on Thursday last
from Mrs. Duniway, the talented editor
OF the NEW NORTHWEST. Mrs. ID. is an
excellent cOnversaticnalist, and talks
with so much sense and cogency that il
makes one forget that she is "weaker
vessel" Her visit to this city was coupled
with business, and from that we hear, the
already bulky edition of her paper will
be considerably increased thereby. The
''shrieking sisterhOOd'' have an earnest
and powerful auxiliary in the pen OF
this lady, and she is sure of readers and
admirers even among those who believe
that such things as woman's rights
should be done away with. No pun
intended. ]-VdncoUuer Register.

Think of these figures, We mothers of

magic of your might and influence the
abodes of temperance, morality and so

Never let US hear you say again that

Man needs you by his side as his help

social circle. Cannot you see that he
makes bad work of government

temperance are allowed to lure your
SONS to ruin while your voice is power
less to say them nay? Upon you, o,
mothers Of America, devolves the moral
responsibility of this great curse of in
temperance. We pray you to no longer
foster, by your apathy and Indifference,
this rapidly growing evil. You may
shirk your duty, but your children must
endure the consequences. Assert your
right TO the ballot, acknowledge its
power, and prove by your example that
you know your duty and dare to perform
it, and we shall see II this scourge, with
its twin companion, prostitution, is not
speedily banished from our city limits.

The Kansas Fruit a, Lowell.

We find, in the Lowell Journal of the 9Th, the
following description of the Kansas fruit at the
great New England Fair:
Beginning where left off i'm our yesterday s
account, the first floor of the building we find
the show of fruit not very large for New Eng
land Fair-not so large as at the Concord Mid
dlesex fair last year. The apples show that this
Is the "Of" year- The pears seem to show q
similar state of things. Somehow, people who
raise fruit don't bring it to the New England Fair.
Grapes are not ripe to any great extent in this
latitude. Peaches do not exist. BY this don {
mean to say that there is no fruit on exhibition.
biu the show Is not quite what We ought to ex-
pect from New England, and, indeed, il not a fair
sample of what We can do. Kansas is much bet-
ter represented than New England. At the in
vitation of the officers, the Kansas Immigration
Society sent on sample OF Kansas products. Mr..
Henry Newman, Of Osawatome, assisted by Messrs.
Cushman and Havens, came on i'm charge of the
samples, and have placed them pyramid near
the center of the lower hall, tastefully arranged
and surmountet by the grizzly pate of bull buff
falO from the Kansas plains. The display is the
center of u crowd of atlmiring observers. 1t is
really wonder. Bat yesterday "Osawatonic ~
Brown was fighting border ruffians in the wild
State. To-day Osawatomie Newman brings all
the fruits of peace and civilization from her bOr-
ders. StaEding near the dividing line of mag ginary
latitude, as laid down by Mason and Dixon, she
partakes of the climates of both sides, and gives
sweet potatoes as fine almost as the Carolinas
and Irish potatoes as fine as those of Maine. Her
corn (and there are samples here) is seventeen
feet high, and produces ears which bear 1000 ker-
nels Here are all the favOrite Eastern apples
magnified. Luscious pears-magnified. All the
cereals, plump. heavy and clean. And grasses to
match. In viewing this must not forget how
many hundred miles this fruit has travelled nor
under what difficulties it has been gathered. The
Immigration Company published an advertise
ment asking for contributions They were gath
cred from different counties, and fairly represent
the products of the State. Some of the fruit is a
L. A~xc. D. -
have "gone by" and the samples are not so fresh
as though it were earlier. Many of the apples
had to be gathered before they were fully grown.
The peaches have mostly rotted. But with all
these drawbacks, Kansas is magnificent, and we
thank the company for affording this view of
the wealth of her production.
