DRYING SWEET CORN.-Sweet corn
NAV be dried. cooked in the winter and
spring, and be almost as the corn fresh
from the garden. In the first place,
pick that which is in good condition for
the table, put it into kettle, and scald
it about five minutes, then, as soon as
cool. cut it from the cobs, put it on
plates and dry it in the oven, then put
it into paper bags, and it will keep till
wanted to cook. Another way is de-
scribed by lady as follows: 1.-The
corn is gathered at the most suitable
state for boiling, not too old nor toe
green; thin slice is taken off all
around the outside of the ears with q
sharp knife. taking off as little as posi-
BILE, yet cutting the top off from every
kernel. Then with the back Of the
knife, the ears are scraped, taking ou
all the inside Of the kernels and leaving
the skins and hulls, on the cobs. TIT
milky mass is then spread on plates anC
dried in a quick oven, but not so hot a
to seorch it. After it is nearly dried
put into thin muslin bags and hang W
around the stove until thoroughly dry.

ABOUT TWO LITTLE GIRLS.

Why is it that some children are fav-
orites with every one, while others are
disliked? We think al answer will be
found in the following sketch of two
little girls, which we cut from a paper:
Nellie is such a kind-hearted, unsel6sh
little girl. that every body loves her.
She seems to be always thinking of what
she can do to make others happy.
If grandma. loses her spectacles, up
jumps Nellie. saying, "Ill look for them."
and runs up stairs, down to the kitchen,
into the parlor, and all over the house
until she finds them. Then grandma
gives her loving look, and very likely
kiss, and says,
THANK you, my dear little Nellie"
When father comes home he finds his
dressing-gOwn and slippers all ready for
him by the crate. Then he sends a
loving glance to Nellie and sometimes
says:
81 know the little fairy who antici-
pates my coming"
When Willie is fretful. or teasing his
mother while she is busy, Nellie knows
at once what to do. She gets one of hel
pretty picture books, seats herself in hel
rocking-chair, takes Willie on her lap
and amuses him until mother has finish
ed what she is doing, and Willie has be
come pleased and forgotten his unhap
piness. Then mother looks approvingll
upon her, and says:

WORKING CHILDREN.

farm work, and l cannot get help, you

tone.
"But children never work, mother,
said Mary, pettIshly.
Mary's mother said no more, but went
on scalding milk-pails and pans and turn
ing them up in the sunshine. The lit
tie girl took her crocheting and sat down
on the cool porch.
If Mary's mother had no word for her,
we have and for every other girl, or
boy, who "rests" while weary mother
tolls.
Children never work" Alas, little
Mary, you, and all little folks, whose
pink dresses and polished skirts come
shining from the hands of a mother,
little know what some children do in
the world.
If such hcartless young folks could go
to the coal mines and cotton factories of
England, they would see children not
up to their waists, harnessed into little
carts drawing loads like cattle, or stand
ing from day-break till night-fall at
looms, till their backs are bowed, and
their limbs bent like old men and women,
and all this for the privilege of starving
in work, rather than out of it.
How we wish the little grumblers had
to 90 over the sea to learn that some
children have to work hard, and under
stern masters. But alas, they need not
90 out of our State to see factory children
fainting at their toll and oppressed by
task masters, till the Legislature comes
to the rescue, and limits the hours of
work and demands for them certain
amount of schooling.
This hard working of children is not
always the fault of the mill manager.
Parents, pressed by proverty, or laziness,
which is too often the parent of poverty,
sue for work for their children, and sac
rifce their health for their own present

ADMIRAL HOPE AND THE
swEARER.

Admiral Hopes Christian firmness in
rebuking swearing and improper Ian
puage when uttered in his presence is
familiar to many. Not many years back,
a gentleman in London omnibus was
using very violent language, swearing
and taking the name Of the Lord Jesus
Christ in vain. when he was quickly re-
buked and requested to desist by an eld-
erly gentleman sitting opposite. The
first named having resented the inter-
ference, the old officer added, "Welb
sir, am extremely sorry you resent my
words, simply requesting you to forbear
insulting q very dear and precious name
which honor and love and can only
say that if you are dead to all feeling or
consideration Of common courtesy, and
will persist in using the language you
have done, you will compel me to do
that which ] shall be sorry TO be obliged
10 do"
Upon this the angry man broke out
afresh, and defed him, when the admir-
al stopped the omnibus and got out, the
other watching him expecting he would
call policeman; but seeing him walk
quietly away, he remarked to another
passenger about his impertinenee, when
the person whom he addressed asked il
he knew who il was that had been in
duced 10 demonstrate with him. He re-
piled, "No nor do | care, except that
he was very impertinent for threatening
me in that way" The other remarked
that he was mistaken, for there had
been no threatening but q meek and
courteous remonstrance that the mar
was a most kind and benevolent mar
and o gallant officer who was quite inca
pable of any mean act.
"What right had he to threaten me
Did he not say he would do something
if 1 did not desist?" said the other.
YES" replied the gentleman, "bu
that was no idle threat, and he did wha
he said he would be obliged to do"
"And what was that? ?" asked tn
angry man.
"Why, get out and walk, which hi
age and in6rmities would hardly allo'
him to do, for he spends great part
mis- income in succoring the afflicted an
the destitute, and he would not like
throw away even a sixpence."
"You don't mean to say that wa
what he meant?" asked the angry mai
what is his name?"
al am quite positive it was all b
meant" replied the other; land h
name is Admiral Hope-a true-hearte
Christian man"
The angry man looked puzzled. the
thoughtful, and at last cried out, &c
forgive me What a fool l have beer
Give me his address, in case | shoul
miss him" He stopped the Omnibr
and jumped out to seek his faithful r
proven, adding that he hoped it wOul
make new man Of him, for he new
should forget the lesson to the last da
of his life. This anecdote was relate
by the gentleman himself, who becan
a humble follower Of the Lord Jesu

THE MINIMUM CHRISTIAN.

The minimum Christian And who is
he? The Christian who is going to
Heaven at the cheapest rate possible.
The one who intends to get all of the
world he can and not meet the world
lings doom. The Christian who aims
to have as little religion as may be
without lacking it altogether.
The minimum Christian goes to
church-in the morning. and in the af-
ternOon also, unless it rains, or is too
warm, or too cold, or he is sleepy, or has
the headache from eating too much at
dinner. He listens 10 the sermon atten-
lively and joins in the prayer and praise.
He applies the truth very judiciously,
sometimes TO himself. oftener to his
neighbors.
The minimum Christian is very friend
ly to all good works. He wishes them
we'll, but it is not in his power to do
much for them. The Sabbath School he
looks upon as an admirable institution,
especially for the neglected and ignor-
ant. 1t is not convenient, however, for
him 10 take class. His business en-
gagements are so pressing during the
week. that he needs the Sabbath as a
day of rest nor does he think himself
qualified 10 act as a teacher. There
are so many persons better prepared for
this important duty, that he must be
excused. He is very friendly to home
and foreign missions and eolpOrtage, and
gives his mite. He thinks there are toe
many appeals, but gives, if not enough
to save his reputation, pretty near it
at all events he aims at it.
The minimum Christian is not clear
on a number Of points. The opera anC
dancing, the theater and card-playing
and the large fashionable parties. Civ
him much trouble. He cannot see tn
harm in this, or that, or the other popu
lar amusement. There is nothing in tn
Bible against it. lie does not see bu
that a man can be a Christian, an

was strewn every morning from the time

OREGONPACIFIC RAILROAD

An extract from letter written by a
promineht gentleman of Oregon says
Things looks more favorably for rail
road connection between Umatilla and
Ogden, or Sioux City. The Oregon
Pacific RAILROAD, combining with the
.. s. N. Co., and | hear capitalists of
Portland and San Francisco propose to
take hid cf il, and push the enterprise
to Mecessful conclusion. Among the
many plans considered, the following
was thought the most practicable: TO
use the line for some years as far as
umatilla, until the road is connected
with Ogdon, and finally continue and
complete it down the Columbia river.
The plan meets with the heartiest in
dorsement from the people Of the east
IN counties, and all favor this idea with
enthusiasm. It is very generally con-
ceded that if this move is adopted and
the road will be pushed ahead, that it
will force the c. p, L. r. Co, to close

NEE PERCEs COMMISSION

General 0. 0. Howard, commander
Of the Department of the Columbia, ar
rived in this city Monday night from
Washington, where he has succeeded in
obtaining the formation of Commission
to inquire into and if possible arrange
the difficulty with the Nee Perez tribe
Of Indians. The Commission consists
of the General himself, Major H. Clay
Woods, VIM. Stickney, Secretary Of the
Board Of Indian Commissioners, D. H.
Gerome of Saginaw, and A. c. Barstraw
Of Providence, R. I. The Nez Perces
are located on the Lapwai Reservation
near Lewiston Idaho. Fort Lapwai is
at present occupied by one com pany of
infantry and one Of Cavalry, under Gen.
eral Howard. After the Reservation
had been ceded to the Nez Perces it
was reduced by treaty, into which some
of the tribe refused to enter. Joseph
the chief of the nontreating tribe, and
his braves and squaws, settled in Wal
Iowa valley, situated between Oregon
and Idaho, and not far from the Grand
Round valley. Last year, by order Of
the President, Wallowa valley was
opened for settlement by the whites.
Joseph's band remained, claiming that
their rights had never been extinguised.
The settlement of this question was pre-
cipitated by the action of two white
men, who some months ago killed oneof
Joseph's band. Joseph demanded the
trial of the murderers, and failing in
that, he threatened to drive the whites
from the valley by November. The
settlers of Grand Round valley armed,
and sent word to the pioneer in Wallowa
valley that they could depend upon
strong aid in the struggle. The In
dams armed themselves, and both sides
are now waiting for November to come.
General Howard sent troops from Fort
Walla Walla to prevent tho collision,
and the Government steps in now and
appoints commission to endeavor to
settle the controversy. Collaterally,
the practicability of consolidating the
agencies will come up. There are now
fifteen or twenty agencies, which the
General thinks might properly be re-
duced to two.-S. +. Bulletin, Oct. 26.
