Trade, Farmni n g, and the
Profession.
Young Canada, as well ° as, young
America, generally is averse to farm-
ing, considering it stupid, laborious, in
fact low.' Our rising generation prefers
to starve " respectably," during their:
early years as medical students or law
clerks, or get $6,00 a week as dry goods
ahopinen, with a possible increase of pay
if they marry .and their wives know
millinery. One stalwart youth of our
acquaintance came from a farm to a
western city lately, to get a plane in a
counting house," although he owned
that he could not write out an invoice,
he had never been iu figures , beyond
multiplication, and, experto Crede, could
not write as well as Horace Greeley.
After vacillating a while between town
life and a home bound train, he decided
upon the latter and " guessed he'd go to
a night school a spell." He was one
instance among many, of the tendency
of young men nowadays to concentrate
in the cities. City life 'has, of course,
its attractions for young mlmen, and
mercantile life its allurements, while
on the farm it is, in a needless degree,
monotonous and toilsome, for lack of
recreation, reading matter, or means of
mental cultivation, which many a young
ran and young wornau in a rude forest
home pines for. There is a plass of
nobly ambitious, studious young people
whose thirst after knowledge will find
means of satisfying itself even in a back
woods. Many a Canadian who, to -day,
"Reaps the labor of his hands,
Or in the furrow musing stands."
will one day be heard of in the more
public spheres of oommerce;art, or state
craft, in spite of inauspicious surround-
ings and want of early book learning.
To such, tite Commercial Colleges and
Art Schools of the present day offer.
many' advantages which an earlier
generation did not enjoy.
But there is another class whose sole
earthly object is " gathering gear," who
esteem mercantile or professibnal life
the best means of making a fortune,
overlooking entirely the opportunities
that a farmer'ii Iife affords for that pur-
pose. To these we commend the early
career of•I .r. H. Lasseter, who settled
with his your g wife in the bush in the
township of Franklin in Northern Onta-
rio. five years ago. He had but $4.50
in his pocket, aiid passed several weeks
without being able to -purchase glass for
his shanty window. To -day he has a
fine farm of We hundred acres, thirty-
five cleared ; a good team, two cows
and young cattle ; a dwelling, a € ranary;
and a barn 28x10: vegetable and flower
garden ; and in his barn and granary
110 bushels of wheat, 100 of oats, 80 of
peas, 1511 of potatoes, 100 of turnips, and
five tons of hay, besides Indiana corn and
and vegetables: He is worth to -day
$1,000, as the result of five years' thrift
and industry of himself and wife, andin
five more years he islikely to be worth
'$10,000, and so on increasing with the
natural growth of capital and value of
real estate. Doubtless this couple work-
ed hard so would any one who would
excel as a merchant or lawyer It is to

often Gaines. But the point we wish to
urge is that for one who is willing to
work, intelligently and assiduously,there
is no need, of joining the crowded ranks
of the mercantile or professional Glasses.
There are as good chances, aye more of
them, for - a young man to make a
competency, if not a large fortune, as a
farmer or -stock breeder in Canada, as in
the more frequently chosen blit more
often disappointing spheres of law, com-
merce or manufacture.
Where the Toys Come Froin.
Toys aud playthings are in continual
demand wherever there are children to
be amused, and the supply grows larger
and'niore varied every year. Most of
the toys which gladden Iittle hearts in
English nurseries come from Germany,
and the quaint old town of Nuremburg
is the centre of that kind of industry,
which employs many hands, and keeps
the grim wolf of poverty from the door
of many an industrious household.
Thence come the wooden boxes contain-
ing v ilia es, gardens, sheepfolds and
Noah's arks; the grocer's, baker's and
butcher's shops, which form such
delightful Christmas and birthday

fit so neatly into their boxes ; the joint-

and, last of ell, the mechauical toys
which are wound, up by clock -work,

- oeuvres that one almost fancies them
alive The tiny lamps, the bright re-
flectors, aud shining balls,whioh render
our Christmas treee so brilliant,are also
imported from Germany,' as well as the
ornamental and useful articles rn,ade-Tof
horn bone aud lacquered ware, which
make such capital presents '-for those
folks which have outgrown the delight
of dolls and wooden - animals. The
Swiss peasants who in summer- time
find; plenty of employment in tending
their cows and goats, gathering the
basket of Alpine strawberries that are
piled, up in great dishes on every ° hotel

ly to remake a peaceful invasion of their
lovely laud, are frequently snowed twin

When the purchases are -made, let thew
be sent to your home, and thus avoid
loading yourself with bundles; - Treat
clerks, when shopping, respectfully, and
give than no more trouble than is ne-
cessiiiry. Ask for what is wanted; ex=
plieitly, and if you wish to make exam-
ination with a view to future purchase,
say so. Be perfectly frank. There is
no necessity for practising. deceit. The
rule should be pay for goods when you
buy tern. If, -however, you are trust-
ed by the merchant, you should be very
particular to, pay your indebtedness
when you agree to. By doing _ as you
promise,you acquire a habit of prompti-
tude, and at the same time establish
credit and make reputation among
those among whom you deal. It is rude
in the extreme to find fault and to
make sneering remarks about goods.
To draw unfavorable comparisons be-
tween the goods and those found at
other stores does no good, and shows
want of deference and respect to those.
who are waiting upon you:. Politely
state that the goods are net what :you
want, _and, while you nmay'buy, you pre-
fer to look further. If a mistake has
been . made whereby you have been
given more goods than you paid for, or
have received more change than ; was
your due, go immediately snd have the
error rectified. You cannot afford to
_sink your moral character -by taking
advantage of such . mistakes, If you
had made an error to your disadvan-

An miable Act.
A pleasing stc ry is related of - Her
Royal Highness the Princess Louise as
illustrative of her gracious and amiable
manner. On Saturday morning ' Mr.
Robert Rennick Coutts, a school teach-
er at Port Credit, lyse standing before
the Royal Canadian Yacht Club House,
Torento,waitiug to get a view of the Prin-
cess as she passed out to her carriage. In
duo time HerRoyal'Highness appeared,
and, observing Mr. Coutts, gave hila a
very scrutinizing look, as if trying to
place him. Let it -be stated here that
Mr. Coutts' father, now deceased, was
for a number of years an attendant at
Balmoral Castle, where, • as is well
known, the Queen used to spend a great .
portion of her time with her family in
their younger days. This fact led Mr.
Coutts to think that the Princess might
possibly remember hie people if she
heard his name, and so he approach&d
the carriage and handed the Royal lady
his card. Her Highness received the
card with a bow, and immediately
drov'e away in, her carriage. On Mon-
day Mr. Coutts was informed by cote
that the Princess desired to see him,
with his brother and sisters, at Gov-
ernment House. Mr. Coutts' brother
is Mr. Peter F. Coutts, of this city ;
Mrs. Smith, of 265 Yonge-street, is a
sister of his, as also is Liss Marion
Coutts, telegraph operator. According
to invitation they proceeded to Govern-
ment House on Tuesday morning, and
were most graciously received by the
Princess. Her Royal Highness ex-
plained that when she glanced at Mr.
Coutts' card' the name struck her as
being familiar, and her mind unconf
sciously reverted to the days she had
spent at Balmoral, and then she re-
membered his father distinctly. She
ordered enquiries to be made concern-
ing Mr. Coutts' address, and having as-
certained it sent him an invitation to
call upon her as above stated. The
Princess shook hands with. her visitors
warmly, and talked familiarly with
them of Balmoral and the people living
at the Castle, many of whose names
she mentioned. The interview closed
very pleasantly, and Mr. ' Coutts and
his brother and sisters departed from
Government House delighted with the
Princess' condescension.
