FARMERS BOYS AND WINTER
EVENINGS

We. copy the following good and
timely suggestions from The Farmers
Cabinet:
All know that i! is by little and little
that the bird builds her nest, and The
bee her cell. Industry and persever-
ance will accomplish in time, far more
than the unafecting are apt to suspect.
Farmers boys, for instance, who
would spend couple of hours these
long winter evenings in some useful
study,. or in the reading ofsome useful
books, would accomplish, in three or
four months, what would surprise one
who is accustomed TO lettering away
these quiet portions Of The day without
employment. Sixty hours in the
month, saved from evenings, which
might otherwise have been spent, would
amount in the course of long winter.
to as much time, and would enable a
lad to accomplish as much as would
several weeks schooling. And the
boy who will thus perseveringly attend
to his own improvement, may rely up
on it that his increased intelligence will
moi only add to his responsibility, but
he will be all tie better fitted for the
active. and responsible duties of life to-
ward which heis often impa,iently look
ing. ~ uiss Hs eAa 81.
f. In selecting books for reading, we
say to farmers boys, reject such as are
founded on fiction, and choose those
only which deal with instructive facts
las on natural history, voyages, trav-
