Give Give !

Disnterestedness! five only knew the great
ness of this virtue, or only dreamed Of the pure
happiness it brings, we would toll for it day in
and day out as Earth's GROWING glory, Have
you meansl The possession of this virtue would
make them blessing to you and to all. Are
you without theml Disinterestedness would make
you rich wealthy in just and generous acts. Do
you possess influence, talentsl Thus blest you
would impress society with manly cast There
is no goodness without dsinterestedness, and no
disnteresedness without true moral greatness.
Give, givel not of your hard coppers merely;
but Of your hearts bestsympathy -of your head's
best thoughts; give them freely, boldly; give
them heartily to whatever may advance, elevate,
dignity the race What is life when chained
down by one over-mastering passion! What
earth, creation, God, when we are consumed by
lust of GAIN ambition, heartless show? How
earth, creation and God rebuke, in all things,
selhshness whether grovelling or refined, deba-
sed by coarse habits or gilded over by artificial
polish The poet felt this when he said or sung
The sun gives ever; so the earth
What it can give, so much It's worth,
The ocean gives inmany ways
Gives paths, gives fishes, rivers, bays;
So, too, the air, it gives us breath,
When 1t stops giving, comes IN death.
Give, give, be always giving,
Who gives not is not living;
The more you give,
The more you live.
Gods love hath in us wealth unheaped,
Only by giving it is reaped;
The body withers, and the mind,
If pent in by selfish rind.
Give strength, give thought, give deeds, give
pelf
Give love, give tears, and give myself
Give, give, be always giving,
Who gives not, is not living
The more we give,
The more we live.

10 Raise C,ahhaCe. &c.

MEssRs. FDIToRs:-Every spring am called
on for cabbage and other plants; and when in
quire of my neighbors why they do not raise
plants themselves, always hear some excuse
like The bugs eat them up The seed was good
for nothing or The frost killed them, or You
cannot raise cabbage plants on old land &c;
and may be it is so with neighborhoods where the
Prairie Farmer circulates, and for that reason
will describe my way-and have never met with
failure.
have boxes prepared about 70 inches deep,
and set themup in sheltered place high enough
to be out of Jumping distance of the bugs, and
fill them with good rich soil. Before planting
the seeds | prepare kettle full of boiling water
and pour it as hot as possible over the boxes
This kills the varmints and seeds of weeds in
the soil, and when cooled down some, promotes
the termination of the seeds planted, which
come up great deal quicker than when planted
in the cold soil. The seeds are sown on top and
pressed in the warm mud with board, and are
afterwards covered with about one eighth of an
inch of loose soil The plants will come up
quick and thrifty, and no bugs will trouble them
Last year raised in box about 36 feet square
about 5000 cabbage plants, which sold readily
at Is per hundred, which would be at the rate Of
$9075 per acre, Who can beat it,

ally bad, in spite of all you can otherwise do
the chest will be more or less contracted. The
rule with you should be, and the rule of health
is, to keep the bottom of the chest, the ends Of
the short ribs, and the lower end of the breast
bone, as far out from the back bone as possible
To effect this, the chest must be perfectly straight
and thrown a little backwards from the waist al
all times. The small of the back is made hex-
IDLE, but the hip joints are the points from which
to stoop either backward or forward. The joints
are ball-and-socket joints, like swivel in some
degree. The trunk of the body may bend for.
ward as much as you please, for all useful pur-
poses; and the chest, and the whole spine, and
neck, be kept perfectly straight. Hence mol lady
should ever make a table of her lap, either fol
sewing reading or writing, or any occupation
whatever Let all these, and all work you do
be arranged on table before you, and that table
be raised to the armpits, or as high as possible,
so as to keep the chest straight,
A little practice will make this infinitely more
agreeable than to stoop, whilst little or no ia
tgue will be experienced at your occupations
compared to what is experienced whilst STOPPING
or from habitual STOPPING. The weight of the
shoulders will thus be kept off the chest, which
is one of the grand causes of fatigue from man.
ual labor. You will thus entirely prevent the
mark of servtude being impressed upon your
person, in pair of round STOPPING shoulders
and flat contracted chest-FtcRS Lectures.

such large quantities of fluid; but in this way it
is said that larger quantity of butter is obtained
and of a more delicate flavor.
The rising of the cream and the churning is

butter There is some skill or art required in
working it which cannot be described; but suf

unless the milk is thoroughly separatedi it is need
less to expect good butter that will keep sweet
any length of time. Ifnot properly worked and
the milk thoroughly extracted, it is apt to be soft
spongv or oily. In some diaries the hand is used
instead of the ladIe, but we protest against that
as the heat of the hand is injurious. In others
the butter is washed with pure cold water as long
as the water is rendered milky. We preferred
not to WASN'T, believing that much of the aroma
or high favor was carried off by the water

MaximS ON Money.

The art of living easily as to money is to pick
your scale of living one degree below your
means Comfort and enjoyment are more de-
pendent upon easiness in the detail of expendi-
ture than upon one degrees difference in the
scale. Guard against false associations of cas-
ure with expendture-the notion that because
pleasure can be purchased with money, therefore
money cannot be spent without enjoyment. What
thing costs man is no true measure Of what it
is worth to him; and yet how often is his appre-
citation governed by no other standard, as if there
were pleasure in expenditure per Sc Let your
self feel a want before you provide against it.
You are more assured that it is real want: and it is
worth while to feel it little in order to feel that
relief from it. When you are undecided as tc
which oftwo courses you would like best, choose
the cheapest This rule will not only save money
but save also good deal oftrihing ndecision.-
Too much leisure leads to expense because when
man is in want ofobects, it occurs to him that
they are to be had for money; and he invents ex,
pendtures in order to pass the time. [Tayor's

Good and Bad Luck,

may here, as we'll as anywhere, impart the
secret of what is called good and bad luck
There are men who supposing Providence tc
have an implacable spite against them, bemoan
in the poverty of wretched old age, the misfor-
tunes of their lives. Luck forever ran against
them, and for others. One, with good profess.
ion, lost his luck in the river, where he ded
away his time a fishing, when he should have
been in the office Another, with good trade,
perpetuaIIy burnt up his luck by his hot temper,
which provoked all his employers to leave him.
Another, with lucrative business, lost his luck
by amazing diligence to everything but his bust
ness, Another, who steadily followed his trade,
as steadily followed his bottle Another, who
was honest and constant to his work, erred by
perpetual misjudgments-he lacked discretion
Hundreds lose their luck by indorsing, by san
guine speculatons, by trusting fraudulent men,
and by dishonest gains. A man never has good
luck who has bad wife. never knew an early
rising, hard working, prudent man, careful Of
his earnings, and strictly honest, who complain
ed of bad luck A good character, good hab-
its, and iron industry, are impregnabe to the
assaults of all the i'll luck that fools ever dreamt
of. But when | see tatterdemalion creeping
out of tavern. late in the forenoon, with his
hands stuck into his pockets the rim Of his hat
turned up, and the crown knocked in, l know
he has had bad uck--for the worst of all luck
is to be sluggard, knave, or tipler-Lec
