sfall, whom hid they been 4 work for y
bits . day, il would bs much better
them, and have saved their. friends fro
distress.
When I was shout sixteen years old
went 70 rake hay in Pennsylvania for ],
cob Rush, much the wealthiest man in ,
that country. I worked from the time Il
dew was of the hay, close and tight, un.
dark, and went two and half miles aft1
my money, and got six and ) quarter CEN
for my days work, together with gre.
deal Of praise for being good boy. NJ
father. Josiah Strawn, died BY the side ,
Of Mr.. Rusch.
Jacob Rusch, bought all his sons, ex
cept Reuben, the best and largest farr
in that country. and gave them everythio
to work them besides. And If l am righ
y informed, there is not one Of them doin
we'll. Reuben Rusch had just brain
enough to work. On Monday morning b
would get up at twelve o'clock, and thresI
wheat until twelve o'clock At night, an,
then half Of the night oil the week.
] think it is much better to bring up on
children to industrious and steady habits
and give them good common education
if we cannot give them one dollar. Their,
is being educated 10 Jacksonville, Morpa,
Co., enough lawyers, doctors, and fools t.
supply the globe. A child whose head il
not right, it only Injuries to crowd in dead
languages. Common English educatio,
's the best, unless their heads are right
and they wish to study profession.
When you wake up do not roll over, 5u
roll out. 1t will give you time to ditch al
your sloughs. and break them up, and
harrow them, and SOW them with timothy
with small portion Of red clover seed
with it. One bushel Of clover with ter
bushels of timothy is sufficient. March is
q good time to SOW; but August il the
best, it there are rains after that time.
DO not remember Of ever failing having q
good stand. when ! sowed my seed in
March, with nothing with it. If YOU do
not need your money until June or July,
feed peck Of good corn planted in April,
at two feeds. Feed in the morning few
minutes after the sun rises the other feed
long enough before night, SO tha, they will
get done eating before night. Try to not
7ary ten minutes in the time OF feeding

in and pigs out. Some Of my neightors
who bought cattle last fall, had such poor
fences that the cattle jumped into the corn
field and ate until they were foundered SO
badly they will not get over it this season.
besides destroying much more than they
ate. If you have brush, make your lots
there, and be sure to keep pigs and hogs
from the cattle; for if the corn is clean
they will eat it much better. Study your
interests closely, and do not spend one
twentieth part of your time in electing
Presidents, Senators, or other small off icers,
and talking of hard times, while spending
your time in town setting on the store
boxes and whiting all the soft wood up,
instead Of leaving it to kindls fires with,
SO they can get to business.
Be sure to get your hands to bed by I
o'clock, and they will be compelled to rise
early BY the force Of circumstances. Pay
q hand-if he is poor hand-all you
promise him; if he is . good hand pay
him little more; it will encourage him
to do still better. When / was younger,
ane employing great many hands, Il
have worked over two hundred day,)
made it . universal rnle all the time-to
pay goods hands more than promised
them. thought it brought me more in
terest than any money ever handled
Extra pay is appreciated by good young
man much. Always feed them Is well Al
you feed yourselves, far the laboring men
are the bone and sinew Of the world, and
ought to be well treated. All our wealth
and fine clothes come by hard labor. Even
our pianos, and ell our music which oul
girls prize SO highly come by hard labor
Our best girls, if they would 60 to bed
three hours earlier than their usual time
and get up two hours sooner. which would
give them one hour more to sleep thar
they now get, and when they did get up
help get breakfast, wash the dishes. ant
sling the pots around-not so as to over
strain them selves--they would be mucl
healthier, more handsome, and get bettel
husbands.
am satisfied that getting up carly, in
dustry and regular habits, are the bes
medicines ever prescribed for health
Look at our general surveyors, when frs
running off the land in the West, wadin,
in water from the shoemouth tU waist, \
night making calculations, keeping thci
minds employed, were well and hearty
while the hands employed in carrying tn
chain, when they stopped, had nothing Il
do, laid down and died like rotten sheep
When did you ever know Of general il
the army that was man, but what was .
his post when duty called for it, 10 goo
health Look at our ncighbors in tb
spring, about the tune their cora shoul,
