A farmer should never allow win
dows to be filled with red cloaks, tat
tered coats, and old hats, if he will not
most assuredly acquire the reputation
of man who tarries long at the whis-
key, leaving his wife and children to
freeze or starve at home.
A farmer should never undertake to
cultivate more land than he can do
thoroughly; half titled land is growing
poorer-well titled land is constantly
improving.
A farmer should never be so MINERS
ed in political matters, as to forget to
SOW his wheat, dig his potatoes, and
bank up his cellar, nor should he be
so attentive to them as to remain ig-
norant of those great questions of ma
tional and state policy which will al
ways agitate more or less free people.
A farmer should never be ashamed
of his calling; we know that no man
can be entirely independent, yet the
farmer should remember that if any one
can be said to possess that enviable dis
flncuon, ne is the man.
A farmer should never allow his
wood house to be emptied of wood dur
ing the summer months; if he does.
when winter comes, in addition to cold
fingers, he must expect to encounter
the chilling looks of his wife, and per-
haps be compelled in series oflcctures,
to learn, that the man who burns green
wood has not mastered the A B G OF
Domestic Economy.
The object of our ambition should be
to be happy at home. If we are not
happy there, we cannot be happy else.

tues of family circle, to see happy

the second is, that Congress cannot abolish
