MAXIMs AND, PRECEPTs FOR YOUNG FAR
Regard all persons whose time and Ia
Dor are wholly at your command, as be-
ings, tor whose health, comfort and good
conduct IN this life, you will be held most
fearfuly responsible in the lifeto come.
Never forget that both moral and bodl-
ly health depend on the same thing, that it
is temperance in food, drink, and all sem
sual induIgences; and temperance in the
use of means tog get rich.
Ever bear in mind that useful knowl-
edge and the proper application OF 1t, are
to the health of the soul, what Wholesome
food and proper exercise are to the health
of the body.
Value, as you ought, the experience Of
others, and your own will cost you lar less
than without such aid; since to use theirs
cost only the cllort of mem ry, whereas
the price paid for your own Will often be
the loss of health, fortune and character.
The more YOU strive to enrich your
minds with every god thing which men
and books can teach, the greater will be
vour power to obtain wealth, honor, fame
and every acknowledgement.
Trust not others to do for you what YOU
can readily do for yourselves.
If you ever make business OF your
pleasures, they will most assuccciy soon
make AL end Of your business.
/ Avoid debt as you would pcsti'ence, for
F! it humb!es, dabascs and degrades man in
:: his own eyes; subjects him TO Insult from
Others: bur still WtTsc is perpetual temp
tation, ,iloweveranxous y resisted, to fraud,
fasehood and thett-nay, not unirequcnt-
, Iy to despair, and even self-nurtcr
The only just and certain means of IN
crcasing wealth, are constant industry
true economy Of time-as well as money
well directed labor. and the regular APP
picatinn of a ortlon Of our profits TO IN
crease our capital.
Never expect your Ia ds to give you
much, If you give them lnlc; nor u make
ynu rich, fly umake them p.or. There
fore, always manure them 10 the full ex-
tent Of your means. and they will ever
make yau ample returns in rapidly lncrea-
sing your productions.
Economy, MT less than humanity, re-
quires YOU to keep all your farming stock
IN thriving condition.; for a working AMI
NAL in good order, will do muc! more
work and cat less thana poor one: while
the rest Of your stock 'o'H kept, will yield
more Of every thing, than double their
number, if half starved, as such animals
often are. -
In all your farming operations, never
forget that TINE, like money, fifTonce lost
or misspent, is toreverpast recovery.
Provide place for every thing. and
misplace nothing. Notime will ever then
be lost in searching for what you want. 3.
Never resort to what are called make
Eshits," when it is possible to avoid 1t; for
1they are almost always sure signs.
Tokecp good gates and fences, saves
much time and labor in nSpreycnting tres
passes; much loss of crops from depreda-
tons; and the best Of all, it saves much
wrangIi"g and ill will among neishbors,
about miScncvous stock. -,
! Encourage both BY precept and exam
pie, the true spirit. of husbandry; for It
!; promotes harmony, good will and social
intercourse among all with whom you
deal; it tends to elevate your own class to
its proper rank: and above all it advances
the welfare of your country, By promo.
ting the most important of all her great
interests.
Never fatter yourselves, as some silly
: peopIc do, that you KIN wv all wh:ca can
be known, even TO the most simple branch
! Of your profession, or you will soon know
, m lch les; than th;,usands Of yoIr more
