NeGtness.-Every man ought to have his
house painted-the door yard fence kept in
good repair; a number of beautiful trees set
around it; few pleasant walks laid out
around his dwelling the lanes leading from
his house to distant fields shaded with orna-
mental and useful trees, and the general
neatness and comfort universally preserved
However small be his farm he can still have
something like this. A little diligence, con-
trivance and improvement of leisure hours
will give him all these.
The moral effect of these things on his wife
and children will be delightful. They will
contribute to make n contented and happy
home. The child may be taught to love the
young tree whose roots he has watered and
which is growing up by his side. The fam
lily will be pleased with their home and the
love of home, and its pleasant localities, will
have healthy influence on the soul.
The library within, and the neatness and
taste which surrounds, will be successful RI
| walls to the tavern, and TO wild and ruinous
companionships. Who knows but wha,
| these few suggestions may make some farm
houses, which we have seen, look little
more comfortable and attractive. II they
should ifthey make one little tree grow, we
shall be paid we'll for writing them.
| ORIGINAL ANEcDoTE.-' Halo, you man
with pail and frock,' said British officer,
as he brought his fiery steed to stand in
front of Gov. Chittenden's dwelling can
you inform me whether his Honor the Gov
ernor of Vermont resides here
HE does was the response of the man
still vending his way to the pig stye.
lis his Honor at home 2 continued the mar
of spurs.
Most certainly replied the man Of the
frock. - 81
take my horse by the bit them said the
officer, Il have some business to transact
with your MASTER
Without a second bidding the man did as
requested, and the officer alighted and made
his way up to the door, and gave the pannel
several hearty taps with the butt of his riding
whip, for be it known, in those days of Re-
publican simplicity, knockers and bells, like
servants, were in but little use. The good
dame of the house answered the summons in
person and having seated the officer and
ascertained his desire to see the Governor
departed to inform her husband Of the guests
arrival, but on ascertaining that the Officer
had made hitching post of her husband, she
Immediately returned and informed him thai
the Governor was engaged in the yard, ant
could not not well wait upon his Honor anC
his horse at the same time. The predicamen
of the officer can better be imagined than de-
scribed.-Troy Wing.

From. Me American Mechanic.

THE MECHANICS SOCIAL PLEASURES.
The following gives fine picture Of tho
effects Of ickleness in business:
THE MECHANICS CHANGE OF TRADE.
There is something in the homespun
philosophy of Uncle Benjamin which al
ways secures my attention. Rude rs it is,
it has that strength which is often wanting
in schools and books. Uncle Benjamin
has never read Lord Chesterfield, and
therefore, has not learned how exceeding
Dy vulgar it is to use common proverb {:
indeed, these concentrated morsels Of wis
dom, handed down from father to son,
foi M a considerable portion Of bis discourse.
Poor Richard is his faverife author, and il
bis son Sammy has not become ripe pro-
verbialist it is his own fault.
regret to say that Sammy is sadly des-
.itute Of thrift. Being destitute in the
trade to which he was brought up. he has
been thinking Of a change to some other
business. But no sooner did the old man
hear Of this freak, than he hobbled over to
his sons as fast as his legs and staff would
carry him, and without ceremony opened
the business thus:
'Ah, Sammy. you are going TO break
ground in a new place, and begin life over
again!'
why, yes, father: make out so poor
" at my trade, and the times are so hard. >
Let the times alone, Sammy. They
will be rs bad, dare say, for your new
trade. The fault is not in the horse,
but in the rider; not in. tho trade. but
the tradesman. You will run through ma
nv callings before you outrun laziDess.-
Look about you and see IL you can find one
man who has bettered himself by forsaking
his business. We have many such jack
of-all trades and masters Of none. You
know the old saw, the rolling stone gath
ers no moss My advice to you is, to 60
forward in the way you are in: is waste
of life to open new road and take fresh
start every few years.
Bot, father said Sammy, 'ihe times
are altered, and there are new chances for
rising in the world. A great many Of my
acquaintance are growing tired Of being
little country mechanics. j am not alone
in my notions
.Perhaps net, Sammy. If all fools wore
white caps we should look like flock Of
geese: most of our working men seem Bit
ten by the gadfy Of change. But they
may turn and torn. and gain nothing until
they change their habits. With a good
trade, good health, good habits. and good
wife, any man may grow wealthy. But
pray, what is to become Of mans seven
years apprenticeship. when he goes. into
new business Would you throw this in
to the scar
20 no, father! That would be all loss,
If were going to slave it again at the an.
vii; but ] mean only to sUperintend the
work Of others
THAT indeed = cried the old man, be.
gin to see your drift. You are going from
an old business in which you have 20 work
with your hands, inio new one in which
you expect 10 play master. And are YOU
so green Sammy, as TO think IT requires M
skill to oversee the work of others Look
at our gentlemen farmers when they come
out Of the cities, and see in what style
they sprerinteDd the work. No, no take
an old mans. word for it, unless 20" stick
to your last Yen may expect I" 60 Oare'
