examine-h0w Is Il whit The fences and The
hedges, and The appearance o. The dwellings
Are they al snugl Have you = supply Of
choicefm trees convenient And 0f such
grape wines a will stand the winter, and
are they kept well irimmedl Have you !
w0od-liousel Is II well supplied with fu-
Il, and neatly arranged How i II with
die garden and the front yard-and the
lane-and the barn yard, and barnl Are
they in good condition! Have Won scrap
bags there! or in other words, have you
suitable places for unsighlly ihings-for
such things rs cause disorder and litter
your premises; and serve as examples Of
mismanagement and waste 10 those about
you! II you have NOT, why Is ii!-how
ean you expect them TO be careful, when
Won are careless; 10 be industrious, when
you are wasiefnl! Ifyou permit Ibis state
Of things, do you not encourage III and is
il not really teaching them the reverse Of
what your interest requires!
DO you not see il! II you DO, then rouse
up 10 your duty, and set better example
for The future. For do you not remember
that whenever you have done so, how
pleasant has been the result! Shall the
example Of wise Providence be lost
upon Us; and shall we mol be improved by
what was intended f1r our instruction as
well as our benefit! Observe the opera
raiions of nature! How beautiful! how adj
mirahly adapted 10 their cnd!--the order
the regulariiy-ihe wonderful econo-
my! Nothing in yain-no,hing wasted
nothing lost!
Butyou say you have not time 10 attend
to these things: are you aware how much
of your time, as well as your property, viii
be saved in the end! In laborious matters
we may be industrious, and yet omit small
ones through negligence.
You rise early Of course, but is all your
time employed 10 the best advantagci Do
you note the fragments Of il, that are vast
ed by yourselves, and by those around
you! You see then il is not for want Of
time, il is for want Of properly improving
tit is for want Of method; and no one
can gil up the full measure OF usefulness
without it. You are saving your money,
then why not economize your time!
We should all remember that il is our
duty, and indeed our interest, to instruct
othors az well ne Improve ourselves; and i,
may be truly said, that he who can accom-.
i plish and teach others to perform with ease
a double amount Of duty, is as much be-
nefactor as he who "causes the two
blades Of grass 10 grow where but one
grew before" To assist YOU in the OBJ
ject contemplated, provide a small book
with but two leaves, and as they occur to
you, note in il such little matters as may
require care; you will then be able TO al
tend To many things which are now neg
lccted, because not thought of at leisure
time. hut this book must be examined
daily, and cleaned up as often as possible;
\ for il the items are suffered to accumulate,
the book will loose its virtue.
Are there not some things to be looked
after! Where are your implements o.
labor-your ploughs; you harrows; YOU
hoes and your shovels; your forks; YOU
rakes and your scythes! Are they in good
condition, and in their proper places! oil
are they scattered about and exposed TO the
weather, and some of them mislaid, and
lost!
i Have you a tool-house! Have you a
workshops! Ifyou have not, there must
then be some disorder; and is not that the
cause! For a deficiency ofcare in one res.
pect generally leads 10 it in others; and il
is the habit Of care you must acquire.
Would you know the secret of having
|. things keep in their places! Then pro
vide suitable places for them; and have ;
distinct and separate place for each.
Butihese places must be convenient AMI
easy of access; and the articles must be ar
ranged with some taste, and so as to pro-
duce pretty effect. This will be pleas,
ant to the eye, and will awaken feel.
ing of interest in those in your employ
and each one will take pleasure in pro.
noting the object. To ensure success,
+ however, YOU must 60 further. You mus
:. mark in outline the exact shape of each ar.
ticle upon the wall or partition against
which it NAV be placed. @.
! Try it and You will be astonished at the
result; 1t will act like "a charm in restoring
things to their places. And from it you
will derive further advantage, as you will
thereby be enabled at glance to see en-
ac,ly what implements and tools belong to
you, and more pains will be taken to keep
them fit for use. And if at any time they
: should be left out of place, or be lent 10 a
careless neighbor, you will be continually
, reminded of it until they are returned, and
; thus often saved from loss.
;, The good effects of the plan will MOI
stop here, for its successful operation viii
I, he valuable example in the neighborhood
and practical illustration Of the beauty
and usefulness of order.
1t will also serve to fix in the minds o
, those about you, principle applicable il
various other forms, and it will produce a
effect upon their habits that will, NOR
> or less, influence all their conduct.
