When you see his barn larger than
his house, it shows that he will have
large profits and small Affections.
When you see him driving his work
instead of his work driving him, it shows
that he will never be driven from good
resolutions, and that he will certainly
work his way to prosperity.
When you see in his house more lamps
for burning lard or grease than candle
sticks for more expensive purpose, it
shows that economy is lighting his way
to happiness and plenty with that ligh int
which should cnlighten every farmer in
the world.
When you always see in his wood
house sufficiency for three months or
more, it shows that he will be more than
nine days wonder in farming ope.

house after drunken frolic.
When he has house separate from
the main building, purposely for ashes,
and an iron or tin vessel to transport
them, it shows that he never built his
dwelling to be a funeral pile for his
family and perhaps himself
When his hog pen is boarded "inside
and out, it shows that he is "going the
whole hog" keeping plenty inside the
house and poverty out"
When his sled is housed in summer
and his farming implements covered both
winter and summer, it is plain he will
have good house over his head in the
summer of early life and the winter Of
old age.
Wen his cattle ale properly sheltered
and fed in winter, it evidences that he is
acting according to scripture which says
that ga merciful man is merciful to his
beast"
When he is seen subscribing for a
newspaper and paying in advance, it
shows that he is speaking like a book
respecting the latest improvements in
agriculture and that he never gets his
walking papers to the land of poverty.

Bottom Lands 0verrated.

We think that the value of rfver bot
toms, when compared with fair uplands,
has been and still is much overrated. For
the first few years Of cultivation, the
bottoms produce heavy crops, with less
labor than the hill land. But this state
of things is of short duration, unless the
low land is within the reach of freshets,
and thus receives, as it were, an annual
coat of manure from the turbid waters Of
the stream. ;,
An excess of vegetable matter iii suils
is of no more use than any other ingre.
dient, and without a due proportion OF
the mineral or alkaline constituents, it
would not bring crop to maturity. A
light, spongy, rich piece of bottom is
more likely to suffer from drouth than a
well composed loan. The changes from
wet to dry are more marked in black
mould than in loan, because the latter
holds OH to its moisture with more tenaci-
ty. To make good upland proof against
drouth, it is only necessary to stir it we'll !;
and the subsoil plow produces in this
respect a wonderful effect. 1t operates
by stirring the mass to a great depth,
into which the surplus rain aud moisture
settles in wet time, to be held in reserve
for a dry one. Bottom land engenders
weeds and useless herbage so much faster
than upland, that in order to keep it clear,
q greater amount of labor is necessary.
AS in the process of cultivation the vege-
table aliment is extracted, it is not so
easily replaced as in upland
In bottom lands, the alkalies become
first exhausted, and our ordinary stable
manure does not replace them. The
variety of crops is greater on upland
than low land. We all know the benefit
of a change of crops, IT is like change
of labor to the human body-it amounts
to rest or to relief, and is still labor and
profit.
Idleness also produces rest, but no
profit: but if man who has been work.
ing half the day, and is fatigued, sits
down to his lapstone the other half, he
becomes rested, and at the same time
makes a pair of shoes. Soil is in this
respect very much like land; it becomes
rested by change of crop, and yet loses
no time.
It's, therefore, great advantange to
soil that will produce the greatest variety
of crops. Vi pIanG is also better for fruit.
For grass it is frequently as good as bot;
,om land, only it requires more anu

A Case of Supposition.

A Texan who was returning home after
the battle Of Buena Vista, having got
separated from his companions. and hav.
ing had his horse stolen by the Indians,
was obliged to take it afoot. Walking
along leisurely one Sunday morning, With
his rife on his shoulder, looking out for
game to make breakfast on, without
knowing what day Of the week it was,
be suddenly came to small stream on
the confines Of Texas, not knowing that
he had as yet reached the border Of his
native State. Perceiving that the stream
abounded in fish, he took hook and line
from his pocket, and procuring some
worms for bait, he sat down patiently on
the bank, wrapped in a brown study,
thinking of his little farm at home, when
preacher who was on the circuit rode
suddenly up, and accosted him:
"Hallo, stranger! what are you doing
there 2"
Fishing sormy breakfast" replied the
Texan, without deigning to look around
at his interrogation.
Well, do you know you are violating
the Sabbath" said the preacher.
"No," said the Texan, turning around
and looking up at the preacher for the
first time, with an air of surprise, which
the preacher took for CONSERVATION, "I
must be somewhat near the white settle.

"and violating the Lords Day, for which

The Texan looked up with a supplica.

convert, continued:

and putting it into his pocket, rose to his

BRING BACK MY FLOWERS.

BRlNG BAUM MY FLUWERS,
"Bring back my flowers !" said a rosy child,
AS she played by the streamiet's side,
And cast down wreaths Of the fowerets wild
On the ever-hurrying tide.
But the stream flowed on and her treasures bore
To the far-off sparkling sea,
To return to the place of their birth no more,
Though she cried, "Come back to me,
Yea fairest gems of these forest bowers:
Oh, stream bright stream bring back my flow
ers."
"Bring back my flowers ~ said q noble youth,
AS he mournfuIly stood alone,
And sadly thought on the broker truth
Ola heart that was once his own
Ofalight that shonc on his life's young day,
rs brilliant as man e'er knew;
OF love that his reason had led astray,
And to him was no longer true.
Rcturn!" he cried, life's brightest hours:
Oh, stream Of Time bring back my flowers"
"Bring back my flowers !" mother sighed,
Der the grave where her infant slept;
And where, in her stubbornness and pride,
She her fearful vigils kept
"oh, why does the cruel hand of Death
Seek victims so fair as she2
Oh, why are the loved ones of othcrsleft,
While mine is thus snatched from me?
Who gave to thee, Death, such cruel powers?
Oh, grave-dark grave! bring back my flowers'
"Briug back my flowers! ~ said a gray haired
man,
For the friends Of his youth were fled;
And those lie had loved and cherished most
Were slumbering with the dead.
But faith in his God still cheered him on,
Though the present was dark and drear,
For he knew that in Heaven he would meet again
The friends upon earth so dear.
Come, Dcath" lie cried, for in Eden's bow
crs
Our God will restore our long-lost-howers."
