FEBRUARY 23 is,
Be Oherfu at Home.
Be cheerful at ho calm admonition
is ne that an may i heed, for who in
thiti ospeot is 'without sin? A single
bitter word. one cloudy glance, may
cast a gloom over the whole household
for the entire day, While an endearing
term or smile ---0 laughing in a whisper,
aa a little oue described it—like a
gleam of atinshine May light up the
darkest and weariest hours. We would
not preach liberally to those chronic,
growlers who ate alWays fault 'finding
. —bullying men wadi termagant women
-words would bedropiotent upon them as
pebbles thrown at * rhinoceros; snob
require - more petanasive methods.
But there are scoreslof others who sad-
ly need the tsdvice f the text. The
man of business, th professional man
the man of /attars— rhaps the preenh-
er himself—is he a ways cheerful at
home? Returning o the family circle
after the labors of the day, .often wear-
ied with care and with much venation
of spirit, the unkind word is uttered,
the golden rele is broken, and there
are heavy hearts abolut the hearthstone.
There is the house sife, whose- domes-
tic trials are the bur en of her plaint
-until she becomes t e very symbol of
woe. Then there a e the children—to
whom more charity is due, for they
almost invariably follow the exaraple
set them— who, in Words of grieving,
had a careln every duty and in every
pleaaure and pain. No need of partic-
ularizing the fretful, gloomy, ever un -
hind moods that so often exist in many
homes everywhere.
. The DisOontented 'Farmer.
The failure to appreciate the many
advantages of farm tile, leads an oc-
**oriel farmer to be filled with di -
content with his position. He looks to
the appearance which pertains to life in
other callings, layshis uneventful,
prosy existence along ide it, and com-
plains at the fate which fixed his
boundaries, and mag ifies the contrast
until his occupation , becomes to him
almost a reproach. This discontent
sometimes sakes the orm of querulous-
ness, and the future is filled with all
sorts of goblins to an oy him, nothing
seems propitious. T1ere are no timely
rains, they- are all too wet, and are
likely to Broil the or ps. The seasons
are all backward, and we would sup-
pose from his predictions that a gener-
al famine was imMinent. He never
seems thankful when his gloomy fore-
bodings are not fulfil ed, but predicts
failure as the final on come. He mag-
nifies each little raisfo* ttine into a cat-
astrophe, and peddles] it piecemeal to
every passer by.
Fortunately these izittreme grumhlers
are neither numerous I nor influential—
just slant enough to go around, one to
a neighborhood. There is a mild form
of disquietude more generally prevail
ing which partakes of the character of
envy toward tradesine a in towns. This
sentiment places them in easy chairs,
with plenty of money and leisure for an
-outing every sumrnerg which the far-
mer thinks he cannot afford. He rea-
sons that there must be an easier way
of living than the life lee leads, and is
often tempted to sell his farm and be-
comes tradesman hirneelf. In conver-
sation with merchants he estineatea
their compliments to his independence
and thrift, as pure taffy, and on a par
with the bland smile that *cajoles the
customer into purchasing a shcrt Pat-
tern shoddy for "ail wool and a yard
wide."
Envy anddeceit are so unbecoming
thatright thinking people will avoid
both. A prorer undeastanding of the
importance of every ! occupetion and
their mutual dependence would har-
monize any conflict a Sentiment, and
prevent those longings to shift burdens
to inexperienced shoulders.
The great disparitywhich is some-
times thought to exist in the profits of
those engaged in metcantile pursuits
as against the capital invested in a
farm, arises from the fact that the
merchant spends money more freely,
and lives in a style incompatible with
the income and habit a of the farmer.
No proper allowance . is made for the
different position, socially, which must
be maintained. It is not te matter of
-choice, but necessity Compels the ex-
penditure of large sums as a sort of
lubricator to keep business running
smoothly. Take two men, for instance,
of equal ability,with like capital $10,000
each. One invests his money in a farm
With team and tools to run it, the
other purchases a store with the lot it
stands on and a stock of goods. Both
now start in a race with equal chances
A larger part of the working capitel of
the merchant is tied up in the building
and lot than the femme has invested in
his house, but the buildings of both are
a necessity. The farmer has the advane
teem of his house to live in, while the
merchant must rent cn draw further
on his capital to buy on The person-
al expense for wearing apparel is double
fpr the merchant to what it is for the
farmer, and the opportimities for giv-
ing, and the calls and the demands on
his purse are ten times as numerous as
on the farmer. The per cent profit on
the investment for the Merchant can be
reckoned in dollars and cents, and if we
only 'oak at the money received,
his showing is the beet, but the many
conveniencies the farmer enjoys' which
the merchant has to pay for, brings
the margins of profit nearer together.
The farmer rides behind his own team,
which is a part of leis ineestmenhand it
coats no ready money. When the mer-
chant rides a portion of his profits pays
the:bill. The fruit which the merchant's
family enjoys and . must have is not
xeckoned as money when the farmer's
family eat it. Fresh vegetables when
purchased at the marketeta,nds require
quite a s large sum of Menem each year,
but the farmer never figures these as a
part of his profits whert he compares
conditions. The termer is continually
making improvements or his farm—or
should be—, and.thee should appear as
added capital, the same as when the
merchant takes of his prOfits to add to
his stock of goods. If ;by these im-
proveraents the farm produces more
and better crops, the fartlier has added
to his capital such an amount as the
value of the extra crops represent in
interest at seven per cent. To illus-
trate: if a poor field has been brought
up from a sterile condition to a fertile
one by manuring or draining so as to
produce on an average of $3.50 more to
the acre with the same coltivation, the
value of that field is enhanced fifty
dollars for every acre. We often hear
farmers say that farms do not pay an
leverage of six per cent abeve the cost of
cultivatiorebut none of the couveniencie a
far which others have to pay money.

.Mere sell 'his far.n, say or 0101q00,
and put it all out at ten per cent, then
mat a house and hire a horse or go : by
train when he wishes to see his frierids,
let him pay sfor all the oorivenienties
whioh he now enjoys, and at the end of '
the year count his surplus after paying
his bills. He may labor with his hands

of driving away custom. Eia opinions
must be convertible and m de to suit
the caprice of his custome . He will
gives ready asset to all ye(1 r express-
ed beliefs outeide the migks on his
goods, and become at last ,from sheer
power of habit, as vareillathag as his
prices. This is the tendency, not that
all become such, but the fanner is not
subject to such ordeals, nlar does he
appreciate his 'privileges, else his dis-
content would eanish. A wider range
of knowledge would pure the evil, and
instead of grumbling at his lot, he
would be happy in his etation and a
better member of society.

A Homespun Homily.
Br thiROLINE B. LEBOW. 1
Tem years ago there was a teligions
revival in a Rhode Island Village. The
blacksmith of the place returned from
his forge one night, and seeing his wife
pumping a pail of water, took the pail'
from her, finished the pumping, and
carried the water into the house. The
wife fainted on the spot, the result of
the shock occasioned -by her husband's
attention. It- was the first time in a
married life of twenty three yeers that
the immense brawney fellow, six feet
two in his stockings, had lifted 'a finger
to help in any domestic duty the slender
little wife whose head hardly reached
his shoulder. The blacksmith had "got
religion," and with that getting had got
understanding also—embodying both in
a most practical matter and manner.
This story, with the . illustration the
hearer can hardly fail to furnish for
himself, may bring a smite from the
telling or the picturing, yet it suggests
more than a laughing matter. There
are countless blacksmiths throughout
the country—if he may be accepted as
the type of a class—who may get such
a religion—of works as well- as faith—
with profit to themselves and their
families.
John Smith has worked at his forge,
his bench or his desk all day long. He
has had an hour's leisure at noon, but
is tired, and glad of his six o'clock mliet,
He thinks of home as the place of his
comfortable supper, his old sliepers, his
easy chair and daily paper; a legitimate
as well as pleasant prospect.
Mrs. John Smith worked at cooking
stove and wash -tub all the forenoon And
at the sewing machine the rest of the
day. She has tended the baby, dressed
the children, made beds, filled the
lamps, mitipped,_ the kitchen, planned
the breakfast, dinner and supper, set
the table twice, washed and wiped
dishes twice, answered the door -bell a
countless number of times, ,in addition
to the cook -stove, washtub and sewing
machine.
John Smith is tired at six o'clock at
night. Is Mrs. Smith less so? But the
table must be set again and cleared
again, and dishes washed , and Wiped
and put away again. The children are
to be undressed and put tb bed. The
clothes Must be brought tn from the
yardesprinkled and folded_'for the next
day's ironing. Bread must be mixed
and set to rise for the next day's break-
fast that Mr. Smith may not miss his
favorite item of the meal—hbt biscuits.
There are a few' buttons to put on John
Junior's jacket, a torn apron to mend
for one of his sisters. The clock strikes
ten before Mrs. Smith can think of rest.
Meanwhile Mr. Smith reads his pa-
per, goes into a neighbor's for a social
call, or down the street for a little walk.
She is as much interested as he is in the
report of the tremendous storms in Iowa
—it is her native place,. and she has
many friends there—and he would have
read it aloud if she had .happened to be
in the room. She would be as glad as,
her husband to hear about her neigh-
bor's .trip abroad and see the fine
pictures .he has brought home. Above
all things she would enjoy a. walk with
her husband, and the chance to get a
little fresh air; but while "man works
from sun to sun, woman's work is never
done," and Mrs. Smith's is no exception
to the rule.
It is not always washing nor yet iron-
ing day in the Smith household, but
there is sweeping day, and baking day,
which haunt two more out of the seven.
The baby tending, the cooking, the bed -
making and the dishwashing belong to
every day in the week, in addition to
whatever extra work the day brings
with it. The last stitch of sewing is one
never taken in an ordieary family of
ordinary means, in which the wife and
mother "does her own work." Sicknees,
visitors, and incidental interruptions are
-likely to add at any time an enormous
amount of friction to the household
machine, 'while occasional house-clean-
ing, with all the carpets up and all the
bed e down, is as inevitable as dirt, and
a neeessity for everybody who believes
than cleanliness is next to godliness.
Mr. john Smith is an industrious and
often a very tired man. Mrs. John
Smith is an equally industrious woman.
Is she any less tired than her husband?
It is one of her discouragements that
he certainly seems to think so, and at
times—when she is particularly tired
and nervous—she almost hates him for
it. Then she most bitterly rebels against
such a feeling and hates herself for ever
entertaining it. For John Smith, as
she knows, and as all his friends and
acquaintances know, is a hard-working,
kind-hearted man. He loves his wife
and children. He is scrupulously honest.
He has no bad habits. What more can
a reasonable woman want? Is Mrs.
Smith an unreasonable woman? She
certainly is not a happy one, and she is
breaking down and growing old at an
alarming rate of progress.
Suppose Mr Senitha-by way of variety
as well as experiment—should help un-
dress the children some night before he
turns his attention to the newspaper;
or help clear the, table while she is
doing it; or even wipe the dishes in
order to give her time for half an hour's
walk with him out of doors? In all
probability she will be too tired to go,
but the tired heart will be rested, even
if the feet are not, and gladdened
through many days to come by the
mere fact that he considered such a
thing possible and desirable.
