that one sold cheese and butter, another butch

was contractor on canals, others were mer

say so out loud For often you shall find that

sion Of property, and it brings new financiers;
the old gent is discharged, the young gent
takes his revenues. and begins to travel-to-
wards poverty, which he reaches before death
or his Children do if he does not. So that, in
fact. though there is a sort of mOniod rank, it
is not hereditary it is accessible to all; three
good seasons of cotton will send generation
of men up-a score of years Will bring them all
down, and send their children TO labor. The
father grubs, and grows rich-his children
strut and use the mony. Their childern in
turn, inherit the PRIDE and go to shiftless pow
erty next, their children, reinvigorated by
fresh plebeian bloed, and by the smell of the
clod, come up again.
Thus society, like tree, draws its sap from

Amateur Farming.

People generally make a great mistake in
b share of attention fd f5l It'll tftdeP Regulations re-
to secure success, that one can plunge into
farming without any previous acquaintance
with it--without, perchance, knowing the
difference between a rake and wheelbarrow,
or q plow and sickle. Such: however, Is
frequently the case. Even farmers who
should know better, are apt to undervalue the
amount of knowledge and skill requisite to a
successful carrying on of their business.

his widow was seized with strong desire 10

carry out her desire. She purchased large

bilitv of her being cheated. CHANGING to- be

thousands of families in both hemispheres,
where she is known by her works, and admired
and loved for her brilliant genius, her woman
" tenderness and her unmistakabie goodness
and purity of heart. l sometimes meet this
lady in Broadway, and it may please your read

head. would excite the envy of Venus herself
she has a delicate, beautiful, forid complex

Her carriage is graceful; her step firm and elias

THE OLD MANS STORY.
A Thrilling Sketch.

the temperance reform. L was q child at the
time of some ten years of age. Our home
had every comfort, and my parents idolzed
me. their child. Wine was often on the table,
and both my father and my mother frequently
gave it to me in the bottom of the glasses.
One Sunday at church startling announce

pering among the men. The pastor SAID that
on the next evening there would be meeting,
and an address on the evils of intemperance
In the use of alcoholic drinks. He expressed
himself ignorant of the object of the meeting,
and could not say what course it would be best
TO pursue in the matter.
The subject of the meeting came up at our
table after the service, and l questioned my
father about it with all the curious eagerness
Of a child. The whisper and words which had
been dropped in my hearing clothed the whole
affair with great mystery to me, ana was
all eagerness to learn some strange thing
Nv father merely said 1t was some scheme

The night came, and troops of people gath

and the laugh, and saw drunken men reelins
out of the bar-room. I urged my father TO let
me go, but he refused. Finally, thinking 1T

the green to the church. l remember well
how the people appeared as they came IN,
seeming to wonder what kind of an exhibition
was to come off.
In the corner was the tavern keeper, and
around him mum Der of friends.
For an hour the people of the place contin-
zed to come in, until there was fair house full.
All were curiouslv watching at the door Won
aeraug what would appear next. The pastor
stole in and took a seat behind pliier uhoe'
the gallery, as if doubtful of the propsiety o
being in church at all.
