1t was quite apparent at the time, that the

SENSIBLE ADVICE.

In a recent address delivered before the Connec-
ticut State Agricultural Society," we find the following
admirable paragraph:
But there is something worth living for, besides
money. That is very good, but it is not all. With
the rest, let US raise crop Of good ideas. While
you are sfsrmer, remember that you are man, With
duties and responsibilities. Live down the old bru-
tai notion that farmer must be uncouth, unedu-
Gated, and unthinking-a mere plodder.
You are brought into immediate contact with the
great heart Of civilization. You cannot get out Of
the buzz of the tong world, The trill of the won
der working wires and rumble Of the locomotive
(the thunder threat Of natiOns) come to your once
secluded hill side.
Move towards better life Do not keep your
boys cOrn-shelling in the long winter evenings.
Make your farm place that your sons and daugh-
tiers cannot help loving. Cultivate the trees-they
are Gods messengers Don't say that you care
nothing for looks. You do care else why did you
build that two story white house. with blinds, and
cupols into which you never go? Or why did
you, years ago, carefully brush your coat, and
pluck up your shirt collar, when you we're starting,
on a Sunday evening, to visit that good woman
who now shares your home?
Care much more for books and pictures. Don't
keep solemn parlor into which you 60 but once
month with the parsOn, the sewing society. Hang
around your walls pictures which shall tell stories
Of mercy, hope, courage, faith and charity Make

the house Let the place be such that when your
boy has gone to distant lands, or even when, per-
haPs he clings to single plank in the lonely waters
Of the wide ocean, the thought ofthe still homestead
shall come across the desOlstiOn, bringing always
light hope, and love.
Have no dungeons about your houss-nO room
you never open-no blinds that are always shut.
Don't teach your daughter French before they can
weed a flower bed or cling to a side saddle and
daughters! do not be ashamed of the pruning knife
Bring to your door the richest flowers from the
woods cultivate the friendship of birds; scorn the
scamp that levels his murierous gun at the blue bird
the robin. Study botany, learn to love nature and
seek higher cultivation than the fashionable world
would give you.
