Lriclx in Farming.

Lick ln Farming
 There are fow words oftener upon the lips of a certain class of farmers than luck. Smith IS '.lucky dog," because his never rots his wheat winter kills, his sheep never get in to his rye and his cows never invade his meadows aud orchards. His crops are better than lis ignb ITS his butter b,i 2 more in the market, al even his wife and children have more centented look than other people, Everything he touches thrives. What lucky man Smith is
 Now, the fact is, luck has nothing to do with Smiths success in life. If you watch the man you aill find that every result he reaches is antic ipated and planned for, and comes eff his own wit and work. Itis the legitimate reward of his l"bors. and it would have been bad luck if it had tlrnej out otherwise His corn always comes u,,. because he always selects the seed himself and hangs it up by the husks in the garrett where it is thoroughly dried He does not plant until the sun has warmed the soil enough to give the germ an immediate start. He drains his wheat fields with tile, and the water that used to freeze anl thaw upon the surface, and throw the of the wheat out, and kill them, now passes down into dains and runs off. His fields are green and beautiful In the spring, when his neighbors russet brown gre desolate. His fences are in good repair and his animals not made breachy by the continn- al temptation of diapidated walls. His wife and children are comfortably clothed and fed and are not kept in a continual fret and worry by a hus Dand and ftthef Who hdS no system or energy Tn his business |" A time and place fnr eyefything." is his motto carefully carried out The shoe,nak- CT is always called in when his services need ed. and none of his household get wet feet, catch cold have the lung fever, and run up doctors bill twenty dollars, for want of cents worth of leather at Lie right time in the right place.
 Smith does not believe in luck He knows that health i'll the family and thrift upon he farm depend upon thousand little things that meny of his neighbors are teo lazy or careless to look afer He has good corn even in the poorest year, because the soil has had the extra it need ed 10 bring out good, long, plump. well capped ears. Talk with him about luck and ne will say to you:
 s It's all nonsense. Bad luck is simply man with his hands in his brooches pocket and pipe in his mouth, looking to see how it will come out. Good luck is of pluck to meet difficulties, his sleeves rolled up, and working to make it come out right. He rarely fails. At least he never did,"
 ssni'h is right. Anend to your business and you will have good luck.

Withholding Corn.

Between eighty and ninety years ago there liv- ed in the Connecticut river valley two farmers, one of whom named Hunt, and the other Clark. rhe former in early life, had been man of strong will and somewhat nasty and violent temper Sometimes he had been seen beating his oxen over their heads with the handle of his whip in way to excite the pity of the bystanders, and when exposulated with he excused himself by saying that he had the most fraclious team in town. By and by alteration took pIaca in the temper of farmer Hunt He became mild, for. bearing, and what was most remarkable his oxen seemed to improve in disposition at equal pace with himself.
 Farmer Hunt joined the church and was an ex- empary man. His neighbors saw tiit,A change both in himself and his team. It was marvel - 10 the wl.ole town. One of his townsmen asked him for an explanation. Farmer Hunt said, have found out secret about my cattle. Form erly they were unmanageabIe. The more whip ped and clnbbed them the worse they acted But when they are contrary go behind my load sit down and sing Old Hundred, and strange as 1t may appear, no sooner have l ended than the oxen go along as quietly as could wish. don't know how it is, but they really seem to like sing ing.
 ' In the course of few years the two farmers were chosen deacons of the church, and they both adorned their profession. About the time of their election grieyous famine prevailed in the valley dfu tie ihfineIS geneTdlly were laylHg up lnelf corn to plant the ensuing season. A poo- man living in the town, went to Deacon Hunt and said 1 have come to buy bushel of corn. Here is the money. It is about all gether The dea- con told him he could not spare bushel for love or money. He was keeping double the usual quantity for seed corn the next year, and had t, stint his own family. The man urged his suit in vain. At last he said, Deacon, if you do not let. me havs the corn sha curse you. Curse me !! replied the deacon, how dare you do so Be- cause, said the man, the Bible says so. Non- sense, exclaimed Deacon Hunt there is no such thing in the Bible. Yes there is, replied the poor man. We'll, said the deacon, if you can find any such text Il give you bushel of corn. They went into the house, when the poor man went to the old family Bible, turned to Prov II 56, and read, $ He that withholdeth corn the people shall curse hin; ; but blessings shall be upon the head of him that selleth it."
 The deacon was fairly caught. Come along, said he, and will be as good as my word. lie took him to the corn house, measured out full bushel of corn, helped the man to put it into his bag, assisted him to put it on his shoulder, and just before his departure, being somewhat of wag, he said. with twinkle of the eye, (" say, neisl- Dor, after you have carried this corn home, go up to Deacon Clark, and curse him out of another bushel.''
