He r the should provide him self with suitable tools, good team and sufficient help, Work shoal be begun iu proper season, and b welt done ; care and attention mss be given to the putting in of crops the soil must be in the proper con dition for the germination of th seed, and be that beet adapted fo its growth. At times it may re quire extra labor t3 put the soil iu proper condition ; it ea, the extra time and labor should not be with- held. At the same time each farm• er should ask himself, "Is there anything more that can be done, by labor or fertilizing, that may add to the orop 2" If so, delay plant. rug until such benefits have been added. I have yet to see when too much labor has been expended or too much fertilizer need. A certain number of animals are, or should be, kept on the farm. Much thought and judgment is to be used to keep such stock in the best and most thriving condition without any waste of feed, and to see that the general wear and tear of team and tools be replaced with the least expense. Also that there is nothing grown which is of no benefit to the farm or stock, that the gate may, be closed against all manner of waste, both large and small. Waste is the key to men.• cessfnl farming ; many little wastes, either in (trope, time or labor, will make large ones in the course of a year, as they are all the same as the waste of dollars and cents, while saving is often the best road to successful farming. Let us look at the farmer who complains of hard times and says farming does not pay. Stith a farmer commences his year with• out preparation ; hie team and tools aro out of condition for busi- ness .;lie thea has to stop for re• pairs, and in doing so he wastes both time and labor. As he begins in the spring, so it will be through the season ; the time and labor lost he will try to gain by hasty work- ing, his field not properly ploughed, not properly harrowed• and seed not properly planted. Under such conditions can.a fair orop be ex- pected ? Again, we have some farmers who say they can make nothing at farm- ing,for although they are having fair crops, at the end of the year they have nothing to show for their labor. •Of moll farmers I would ask if they have not, with their farm, tried some other hobby and let that waste the proceeds of the farm 2 Let any farrier try to raise a trotting horse, or a fancy team of horses for market, or toy speculat ing in shipping produce or selling implements on commission, and at the end of the year his hobby has wasted the proceeds of the farm, and lie ie ready to say "farming doesn't pay," and he is ready to quit farming, to give leis whole time to the hobby. and iu a few years farm, farming and hobby ars all gone. db.CZbI".Grc's ammo:.

We can do more good by being good than in any other way. Engage in no business ineoueis tent with the strictest morality. He who wants to do a great deal at once will never do anything. The highest exercise of charity is charity towards the uncharitable. One angry word sometimes raises a storm that time itself cannot al. lay. Stay net until you are told of op- portunities to do good ; enquire after them. Society, like silk, must be viewed in all situations, or its colors wit deceive you. Would you hear a sweet and pleasant echo, speak sweetly and pleasantly yourself. Don't judge a man by the clothes he wears. God made the man, but the tailor made the clothes. When alone guard your thoughts, iu the family guard your temper, iu company guard your words. We are haunted by an ideal life, and it is because we have within us the beginning and the possibility of it. Character is like bells that ring out sweet music, and which when touched accidentally resound sweet mune. The happiness of every one de, peuds more on hie own round thou upon any or all external circum- stances. Kindnesses are stowed .away in the heart like bags of lavender in the drawer, ,to sweeten every object around them. If we did not know how little some enjoy .the great things that they possess there would not be much envy in the world. Be careful to be jest what you would litre to appear to be. rWe often think too much of appearing to be a worthy character rather than being one. 10'tsrrez Tomes. Some vary pertinent remarks have been made by a correspondent of the Country Gentleman upon the lamentation of some men that farm • ing does not pay. We give some of them : There are many farmers of to -day who are complaining that farming does not pay, while others are fairly satisfied with the 1neeme they are receiving but with it might be more. There are many farmers who are like the man who tried to haul the Ioad of potatoes up hill with no tail board in the wagon box. If there were more femme who would keep the tailboard in the wagon box,there r would be lee is COm lobar hat farming does not pay, and at lie end of the year have more to thew for their year's labor. The farmore who complain are the shiftless ones who expeoi good crops from little labor and poor at. teetion to farm and stook ; and others who aro trying to make 0110 occupation support two -that is, trying to make the farm pay, while they are giving attention to some other outside bobby. Other com- plainers aro diose who follow the same routine of farming as their fathers and grandfathers before them ; who do 1106 adopt the im. proved methods of farming, as they require more labor and attention. But to grow a crop is like buying a commodity.; you must pay for it in labor ; the loss labor given the less orop tray be expected, In ell.

There was a baby on board th train from Pittsburg to Wheelie yesterday, Bays the Pittsburg Ohron icle-Telegraph. It was a baby with v. big B. The baby had its mother along. And its papa. Likewise its grandfather. And it needed a few hundred more relatives. The baby was very good for nine miles and a half. Its papa was so proud of 11. He awed complacently around the car as though he would Bay t "That's my baby ! . Don't you all envy me 2" Its mamma shared its papa's pride. And its grandpa absorbed what wan left. Presently the baby improvied a drone. It howled. Then it yelled. Then it howled and yelled some more. Aud refused to be comforted. The look of pride Left the face of the baby's papa. And of its mamma. And of its grandpa. And its grandpa escaped to the smoking -car. The baby's papa seized the baby, declared his intentions of throwing it off the back platform and upon the adjaceut landscape, and started for the rear of the oar. The baby's mamma evidently placed no confidence in the threat of the baby's papa. She leaned back with a sigh of relief and ate a banana. But there was a desperate, dangerous light iu papa's oyes, as he picked his way between the jerks of the car. He was gone about fide minutes. Re returned alone. The desperate light was gond from his eyes and he looked sheepish. As soon as the baby's manatee saw him she detected the baby's absence. ,She detected the guilty look he brought back with him.members And she re d h' b Cea t& threat, Re had said he would hurl his offspring from the rear platform 1 Mamma's fade blanched.
