Thoughts of Home, Amid the La
bOrS of Professional Life.

The following playful and beautiful lines
were written by Chief Justice Tenterden, than
whom there were few more gifted or learned
jurists;
In the noise of the bar and crowds Of the hall,
Tho destined still longer TO move,
Let my thoughts wander home and my men,
ory recall
The dear pleasures of beauty and love.
The soft looks of my girl, the sweet voice Of my
boy,
Their antics, their hobbies, their sports;
How the houses he builds her quick fingers
destroy,
And with kisses his pardon she courts
With eyes full of tenderness, pleasure and
pride,
The fond mother sits watching their play;
Or turns, if look not, my dullness TO chide,
And invites me like them TO be gay.
She invites to be gay, and yield to her voice,
And my tolls and my sorrows forget;
In her beauty, her sweetness, her kindness re-
joce;
And hallow the day that we met.
Full bright her charms in the bloom of her
life
When | walked down the church by her
side;
And, five years passed over, find the wife
More lovely and fair than the bride.

Scientific Exploration.

The morning Oregonian contains the follow
ing;-Prof Taylor, who is connected with the
University of Chicago, arrived in this city on
the last steamer from San Francisco. He was
sent out by that institution TO make the ascen-
sion of Mount ST. Elias, to ascertain the exact
height of that mountain and make survey of
the peak Prof. Taylor brought with him all
the necessary instruments, scientific apparatus,
etc. To determine the altitude OF this noun
tain He sailed for Sitka last Saturday even
ing on the steamer California. Lieut.. c. 4. s.
Wood of Fort Vancouver, accompanied the
Professor, and will assist him during his ex-
poring tour. On reaching Sitka a small squad
of soldiers will accompany the expedition from
that place. small steamer will be chartered
10 convey the party to point along the coast
opposite the peak Mount St Elias is one Of
the loftiest peaks in North America. Thus far
il has never been ascended by human be-
ng-at least there is no account on record Of
any person succeeding or even attempting to
reach its summit. It's altitude remains ques-
tion of conjecture-beng estimated at 1870,
feet above the level of the sea. The mountain
stands a little over $50 miles due north OF
Stka. and about forty miles inland, midway
The boundry line between the British Possess
ions and Alaska The sides of the mountain
are broken and precipitous, while perennial
snow fingers about the summit. Prof Taylor
is determined 10 ascend the peak, if il is within
the range OF human possibility, and ascertain
by actual measurement its altitude. The party
will be absent from here about two months.

Etiquette for Widows and Widow
erS.

1t is not usual to invite guests to the
marriage of a widow. Ii widower
marries a young girl, the etiquette is
the same as that of first marriage. A
widow must marry in the morning ear
ly, without show, and has only her
witnesses and those of her intended.
Her dress must be plain, of quiet color,
black, however, is not admissible. On
leaving church, the bride invites to
breakfast the witnesses who formed the
party but no other guests are invited to
this repast. On the fifteenth day after
the marriage, cards are sent bearing the
new address of the married pair. A
widow never makes wedding calls after
re-marrying. There is month allowed
for the return of the cards and the vis-
its. When a single lady marries after
having passed the usual age for mar
riage, the ceremony should be simple
and unobtrusive.-W Willamette Farmer.

it pays to raise TINS class sol s'och' IL
also affords the stockman a better
opportunity to improve his breed Of
cattle. But as special business,
raising cattle will probably pay better
than any other pursuit the farmer can
engage in. Some say it don't pay to
raise cattle at the present low prices,
and that we can't compete with stock
raisers east of the mountains. | adj
nit it is discourageing to people who
have been in the country for the last
quarter of century, and accustomed
to the high prices ruling seven or
eight years ago; who had until the
last few years, an almost unlimited
range for their stock. Feed was then
considered unnecessary, and work a
matter of choice. But to the man
who means business, the present
could not we'll be better, everything
considered. The price of cattle is
very low, it is true, but with a climate
so mild that in many localities, an or
dinary animal will keepin good con-
dition the year round without being
fed, we have no just cause for com
plant. There is no likelihood of pri-
ces being any lower for years to come,
but everything denotes an upward
tendency in the market. With rap
idly increasing population, market
extending and widening year by year,
and more uniform prices than hereto
fore, there is no permanent business
that will pay better than raising cat
tie, if properly attended to, and in no
country is it surer than in this. But
to make everything available on the
farm, it is probably best to keep other
kinds of stock also.
With this object in view, it is inn
portant that we raise only such crops
as can be used on the farm for cattle.
Timothy hay is more cheaply raised
than any other, and as a main crop, is
probably the best; but no animal will
do we'll on one kind of feed alone,
and for a change, root crops should be
raised. Ruta bagas and carrots are
about the best. In regard to this
every man should be his own judge,
the yield of certain crops being differ
ent in different localities.
| do not wish to be taken as author
ity on this subject, but think 1t de-
mands more attention than 1t receives.
Some well meaning persons have
failed here, which have resulted in
very damaging accounts of the coun-
trv. Failed because they did not
know what to engage in, or If IN the
right business, did not properly un-
derstand it. W.
