Keen Tools in Order.

When we were young, we spent some
weeks at Cousin Thrifty's. He had a
habit which we make note of-one of
which all farmers ought to possess. Eve
ry stormy day-stormy days were freqent
and formidable that spring-he examined
some of his implements of ~husbandry, to
be sure that all of them were in good con
dition for use.
Did an OK yoke need repairing, by axe,
saw, shave and steam, the piece Of oak
was taught to bend without breaking, and
a bow, smooth and regularly curved, wa:
fitted for Bright's neck, il the place Of the
imperfect one. Had the rakes lost theil
teeth? Farmer Thrifty, though not pro
~fessionally a dentist, put in new ones
strong if not handsome. Scythes, augers
chains, all the agricultural apparatus
must be reviewed and put in the best pos
sible condition.
We admired this habit, and remarked
" You are very particular, cousin"
Every thing in order and in place, is
my governing MAXIM" he replied. This
saves time and makes money. The OBJ
%servance of it has saved me many tons Of
hay, and many half days work.
This rule is as valuable to mechanics
and to housekeepers as to farmers. Dc

Timely attention to tribes, insures sue

How to Prosper in Business.

In the first place, make mp your mind
to accomplish whatever, you undertake !;
decide upon some particular employment
and persevere in it. All difficulties are
overcome by diligence and assidnity.
Be not afraid TO work with your own
hands, and diligently, too. "A cat in
gloves catches no mice"
Attend to your own business aud never
trust It to another. "A pot that belongs
to many is i'll stirred and worse boiled
Be frugal. That which will not make
a pot, will make a pot lid
Be abstemiony. :" Who dainties love
*liall hcggars prove"
Rise early. The sleeping fox catches
no poultry
Treat every one with respect and civil
ity. Everything is gained and nothing
lost by c%ivility. Good manners ensure
success"
Never anticipate wealth from anv other
source than labor: He who waits fol
dead mems shoes, may have to 60 for @
long time barefooted." Heaven helpi
those who help themselves.
IF you implicitly follow these precepts
nothing will hinder you from accinmulat
ing riches.

How to Administer Medicine.

O. w. Holmes, in his valedictory ad
dress to the medical graduates O Havard

gives the following, we doubt not judi
cious, advice to the medical students who
were about to graduate:
With regard to the exhibition of drugs

Ganius. Talent. Tact.

These three elements of mans power
are often COMPOUNDED, and are frequently
employed to express the same thought.
Genius may be defined a certain faculty
which is without knowledge or experience
Of effort. It is something mere than mere
nature; it is a high capacity under the
power Of inspiration; the flash Of noble
thought rushing suddenly on the brain, but
shaped into perfection by the spirit Of or
der and art. Genius works from within,
outward, and is its own end, and then
goes abroad for an audience.
Talent, however, is something practical
in its operations. 1t is solid substance;
it grasps the primary qualities and rela,
lations of things; it works from without,
inward. 1t finds it's models, methods and
ends in society; it goes to the soul only
for power to work, and thea exists in *
hibitien.
Tact is the power to control and direct
as we'll as to release the practical work.
ings Of common sense. It is. the exempli,
f%ication Of sound Judgement, as contradis
tinguished from mere imagination. Tact
is common sense, shrewdly working out
the accomplishment Of a given end, subor
dinating and making others tributary to
its final sueeess.-

An Incident Of Balaclava.

When the light brigade was preparing
for action, the butcher Of the 18th lancers
who had just been performing his office
Strengthening sheep and oxen, made his
appearance in the field, without cap OF
waistcoat, his shirt sleeves rolled up, and
his arms and face smeared with blood-a
grotesque and terrible figure. He mount
ed a powerful charger and rode up to his
troop. He had no BUSINESS there, but the
prospect of a bloody fray was too strong
to be resisted. He seized two sabres, de
liberately examined the temper aud edges
of the blades, selected the sharpest and
threw the other aside. He then with
equal GOODNESS took out a short black
pipe, charged it, lighted it, placed it in
his mouth, and settling himself in the sad
die, rode with the six hundred into
the valley Of the Shadow Of Death. This
man was seen amongst the Russian bat
t%eries, sabreing the gunners right and
left, laying with his own hands at least
six Of the enemy, cutting his way in the
retreat through the swarms of Russians
cavalry, which vainly sought to intercept
the remnant of the gallant band, and won.
derful to relate, he rode back, still smok-
ing his pipe as coolly as if nothing had
happened, without having received "a
single scratch.

Curious Story.

An it%enerant letter writer for the
Boston Post supposed to be John g. SAKE
tells the following story in one Of his
very amusing letters written from Ten
nessee /: Not less than forty years ago,
Andrew Johnson (popnlarly called
"Andy')now IN the United Senate, was
the Democratic candidate far Governor
Of Tennessee against Gentry American
Patson Brownlow, the "iighting Metho-
dist of the Knoxville Wing, vas the
warm partisan Of Gentry Eastman. as the
conductor Of the leading Democratic jour
nal, was, Of course, with Johnson, and, as
bis wont. gave the enemy telling and Wig
orous blows. Gentry was defeated, but
in honor to his brave associates, part
ners of his toil,'' he celebrated the event
by q grand supper, at which Brownlow
was present. When the company had
got pretty deeply into their cups, and
were growing rather boisterous, the par
son (who happens to be a tetotaller,
thought he had better retire and was
making a movement to that effect, when
he was stopped by Gentry with the oh.
servations that mo minister of the COS
pei should come into has honse ard enjoy
his hospitality and go off without praying
in the family" Brownlow felt the rebuke
and at ace set about his duty. He read
a chapter in the Bible, sang a hymn, and
commenced a prayer. He prayed tol
Gentry and his household and his friends
for the welfare of Tennessee, of the
American eagle, and the star spangled ban
ner for Christendom and heathendom
for the universe and the rest of man
kind" And finally" said the parson
''we pray thee 0 Lord, if it be possible il
the plentitude of thy infinite mercy tt
pardon and save Andy johnson and E
G. Eastman Stop stop!" exclaimed Gen
try. don't let him do that-a wouId er

Economy of Farm.

To drive business be up with the sun.
A late beginning usually makes a worry.
ing day with an unsatisfactory amount OF
labor done at night. Have your own tools.
and places to. keep them in, that no time
be lost in searching for them or in going
to neighbors to borrow. Spend a little
time to root out the old stumps, old roots
or large stones against which the pillow
has brought up for years. Leave no
waste uncultivated places about the farm.
The soil may as well produce a crop Of
vegetables as weeds. Set out a few shade
and, fruit trees about the buildings, and
aloGg the lanes and roads. Your wife
and children will thank you fpr it in aftef:
time. There is economy in It too.

A Taste for Reading.

If | were to pray says Her5chel, for
a taste which should stand by me under
every variety Of circumstances, and be a
source Of happiness and cheerfulness to
me through life, and a shield against its
ills, however things might go amiss and
the world frown upon me, it would be a
taste for reading. | speak Of it. of course,
only as a worldly advantage, and not in
the slightest degree derogatory from the
higher office, and sure and stronger pan
oply Of religious principles, but as q
taste, an instrument, and a modeof pleas
urable qualification. Give a man this
taste and the les Of gratifying it, ard
you can hardly fail Of making him a hap
py man, unless, indeed, you put into his
hands a most peryerse selection of books.
You place him in contact with the best
society in every period of history, with
the wisest, the wittiest, with the tender
est, the bravest, and the purest characters
who have adorned.humanity. You make
him a denizen of all nations, a contempt
rary of all ages. The world has been
created for him.
1t is hardly possible but the character
should take a higher and better tone from
his constant habit Of associating il
thought with a class of thinkers, to say
the least of it, above the average of hu
manity. 1t is morally impossible but thai
the manners should take a tinge of good
breeding and civilization, from having
constantly before our eyes the way III
which the best bred and best-informed
men have talked and conducted themselves
in their intercourse with each other
There is q gentle but perfectly irresista
BILE coercion in a habit Of reading, vel
directed, over the whole tenor Of a mans
character and conduct, which is not the
least effectual because it works insensibly
and because it is really the last thing he
dreams of. 1t c~ivilizes the conduct Of
men, and suffers them not to remain bar
Ibarous.

My Mothers Grave.
BY MARY A. DUFFY.

Gentle zephyrs, blow ye lightly
Der the place where sleeps the dead
Where the moon beam, shining brightly,
Hovers round the narrow bed;
For where yonder ivy creeps
Is the place where mother sleeps.
While she lived she knew but gladness
Every joy was all her own;
But the might of grief and sadness,
Where her spirit hence had flown,
Came upon us; thus we weep
Over her that now doth sleep.
Angels wings have borne her spirit
To a purer land above,
Where the blest fore'er inherit
All the Fathers holy love.
And while love its vigils keep,
In the grave my mother sleeps.
When the night of death came DER her,
And her eyes began to close,
Happy dreams went on before her,
Calling her to sweet repose,
And she fell in slumber deep,
Leaving us below to weep.
Then we laid her little fingers
Quietly across her breast;
Often now our memory fingers, u
As if by divine behest,
And though her reward she reaps,
We will mourn while she sleeps.
Then, sweet zephyrs, whisper gently
Der that sacred hallowed spot,
Where the moonbeams sparkles brightly
Ali it cannct be forgot;
For where yonder ivy creeps
Is the place where mother sleeps.
