The Pleasures of Parting.

There is one warning lesson in life that
few of us have not received, and no book
that can call to mind has noted down
with adequate emphasis. It is this: Be-
ware of parting. The true sadness is not
in the pain of parting, it is the when and
the how you are to meet With the face o
bout to vanish from from your view
From the passionate farewell to the wo-
man who has your heart in her keeping,
to the cordial goodbye exchanged with
pleasant companions at a watering place,
a country house, or the close of festive
days blithe and careless excursion - a
chord, stronger or weaker, is snapped as
under in every parting. and Times busy
fingers are.not praetised in re-splicing bro
ken ties. Meet again you may: will it
be in the same wayl with the same SYM
pathies with. the same sentiments VIII
the souls, hurrying on IN diverse paths,
unite once more, as if the interval had
been a dres-nl Rarely, Bmtoer.

THE HOUSE AND FARM.
Order upon the Farm.


1t has been very correctly said that or
der or method is the secret of the success
Of many wealthy men of the mercantile
class. What we mean by order, is "a
place for everything, and everything in
its place." By everything, we mean all
that farmer uses in his business. A
farmer should see that every board and
rail about his premises is in its proper
place; that his fences are in condition to
prevent the entrance or exit Of his own or
other peoples cattle without his consent.
Every one who neglects this neglects his
peace of mind as well as subjects himself
to losses that must be repaired by means
that could have been otherwise proitably
employed.
have known the cuitivators of the
soil to succeed well in maturing crops, but
by neglecting to keep their fences in order
lose the most valuable part of their labor.
But am glad to state that such cases are
not frequent in these times. In the next
place, the farmer should not allow his
cattle that are used in the farm work to
be scattered indscriminately over his
fields, as much time is lost in getting them
to their places, and as time is money, it
should be economical as much as posi-
bic. He should be careful to have his
harness all in using trim, his working cat
tie near his harness house, then but few
minutes are required to prepare for his
days blowing and hauling. His imple-
ments If every description should be kept
near his dwelling, that no time be lost in
repairing those things that are out of or
der. May persons will say they have no
time to do all these things. Stop, dear
reader, know you can, because whenev-
err you see rail missing from your fence,
90 and put it back Immediately, for then
is the right time. In case the rail should
be destroyed, appropriate the first idle one
you come to. If you have no idle ones,
lose 10 time in procuring some, for if you
do not nine chances in ten you lose more
by neglect Il a. if you stop the pillow long
enough to make them. Whenever you
arc done using pillow, hoe, rake, fork, or
anything else, take it Immediately to the
barn or tool honse, make this an inva-
riable rule, and let all your men know it.
The result will be that when anything is
wanted, the person sent for it will know
where to find it. I would have every far
mer have some of the most necessary
tools used in making ami repairing his
inplem ents Of .husbandry, for l know eve
ry ne who is able to own farm, is able
to have such things. The rainy season,
in which nu3h could be done in the way
Of making and epairing, is always lost to
most farmers, because they have not the
implements of n anufacture. During such
times he might put all his farming tools in
excellent order; whereas, if it is neglected
till fair weather, he has scarcely had it
done before another rainy season over
takes him. Thus, all fair weather in
which he might have plowed, passes in re-
pairing. To conclude: Farmers. preserve
order in everything, and peace, prosperi-
ty and health will follow you through
life.

Sources of Fat.

Experiments have been made during
the past year in France on ducks, to
prove that the fat may exceed the quanti-
ty which could be referred to the food they
were supplied with. Some were fed on
rice, a substance which contains only a
few parts of fat in thousand. Others
were fed on rice with a few parts of butter
added. At the end of the experiment.
the first were as lean as when first placed
upon the diet; the latter, in few days,
became positively balls offat. Other ex-
periments were made on pigs. 1t was as
certained IS the results of several trials,
that there was sometimes more fat pro
duced than was contain ID in the food on
which they were fed. Food which, given
alone, has not the properties of fattening,
when mixed with a fatty matter, acquires
it in an astonishing degree; and fattening

much fat, always aboun'l with its chemi-
cal constituents, the principal of which is
azote, and whence the fat acquired is de-

Working sslsd Thinking.

1t is n no less fatal error to despise la
Dor when regulated by intellect, than TO
value it for its own sake. We are always
in these days, trying to separate the two;
we want one man to be always working,
and another to be ways thinking; and
we call one an operative and the other q
gentleman; whereas the workman ought
often to be thinking, and the thinker oft
en- to be working: and both should be
gentlemen in the best sense. AS it is,we
make both ungentle, the one envving, the
other despising his brother; and the mass
of society is made up Of morbid thinkers
and miserable workers. Now it is only
by labor that thought can be made valu-
able or healthy, and only by thought that
labor can be made happy; the Swo can
not be separated with impunity. nj pro-
LESSONS should be liberal, and there should
be less pride felt in popularity Of employ
meat, and more in excellence Of achieve
ment.-RuSk,in.

CAN Music be Tnmorals

Muse III Itself Is sensual. Nothing APP
PIES more directly to the nerves, and
through the latter to the senses, than
sound. 1t is for this reason, that IN the
history Of all eln;nently musical men of
the strictly musical talent or genius, you
can trace the immense influence that art
bad upon their sensual condition. That
influence is generally so great that their
bodily strength grow; weaker and weak
or, till an early death calls them away
long before they have fllflled not only
what they promised the world, but much
more, what they promised themselves
Mozart, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Bellini,
and others. may be cited as glorious exam
pies of the truth Of this remark. They
would have lived much longer had not the
sensuality of their nature found superb
hundant food in the sonsuality of their art.
And yet these were the high priests of art
tile followers of the beautiful and pure
in sentiment.
But where these conditions are want
ing; where music has no other purpose
than to please and excite you; what do
You think will be the result Of that ener-
waiting state of body in which such music
will put put you! Your mind will also
be enervated, it will soon lose It's balance,
and be unable to distinguish what is pure
and noble, until you viii have become enc
of that large class of society which lives
only by animal instinct and unprinclpled,
and often unlawful, means Of satisfying
them. We think the best answer to the
above question may be gathered from the
records of the victims which fill cur hos
pitfalls and mad houses. An intelligent
doctor will easily trace the frightful rava-
ges which in many in 'tances licentious
music has upon his patient. At least in
Germany and Paris, among . hundred
sufferers of certain class of the residents
in lunatic asylum, you will find fourth
who are or were musicians.
Knowing this, we think it becomes an
imperative duty to advocate, not only
where music is adapted to words, a moral
tone, but also, in general, such music as
does not merely appeal to the senses, but
also to your brains; which makes you
think and reflect, and is fit to enlarge
your mind, instead Of naing it q sa' G

The Roller.

Every farmer should own roller, even
if it should be nothing better than large
log, with gudgeon in the centre of each
end. But cast iron rollers are too chean
to allow the use of log rollers at this
late day. All lands seeded to grass
should be rolled after being sown. Bv
rolling, all the large Jumps of earth are
broken, and the land made level and
suitable for moving with machine. The
grain and grass seed germinate more rap
idly, and more certainly, and better
crops of both are grown on well rolled
lands. than on those not rolled.

By and by it will by winter, and we adj
wise you to sell all the stock you can not
winter well. Nothing is gained by keep
ing IL animals on the fodder that ami
mails would consume. Skin and bones,
when connected by vitality, are not worth
SO much by so per cent, as they are when
associated with flesh and fat. We have
seen one yoke of oxen and a pair Of hor-
ses able to do as much in the Spring as
two other yoke of oxen aud two span of
horses that were kept On short rations du-
ring the winter. Depend on it, farmers,
you gain nothing by keeping more stock
than You can keep in good condition.

TEMPERATURE OF THE EARTH.-By ex-
periments made during the last year by
Professor Smyth, at Edinburgh, with a Sc
ries of earth thermometers, Undecided in
the earth at varying depths, it was prsyed
that there was gradually increasing heat
ofone degree Fahrenheit, for every forty
feet Of depth, so tina. at less that two and
a half miles, water would be at boiling
heat and at less than one hundred miles
depth al things must be in state Of fl-
sIon. This confirms numerous previous
experiments.

Keep them quiet well housed, and com
