Stick to the Farm.

1t is a peculiar part of the programme
common to high pressure times, when spec,
ulation runs riot and drives reason and pru.
dence into obscurity, that men forsake the
pl ow and workbench and resort to selling
silks and laces, toys and attraps, tobacco,
etc., for living. 1t is useless for man
OF prudence and experience to urge that
bankruptcy is the fate of all such as forsake
the farm and resort to the counter for lv.
ing. inexperienced in the business, their
failure is mere problem in process of solu.
ton the first reaction in commerce and
currency will sweep them overheard and
they will 60 down. A successful farmer
possessing family has no more right to
forsake his we'll secured farm-boat for q
leaky, shabby, cob.web, luce.lined boat,
than he has to resort 10 intemperance and
gambling. Stick to your farms your lands
will never desert you nor cease to supply
your wants, unless you first desert them
The mercantile business is humbug to
whoever isinexperienced in it. Like ganb.
ling, it must be understood to make it pay,
and wo to him who bets on card who can
not tell as well what it is by seeing the back
as seeing the face.

call in on his way to and from his shop
This day, to the astonishment Of others be-
sides Miss Sally, he walked rapidly past
Something was evidently "to pay," as that
lady conidentially asserted, and as the
young man took up his tools and set himself
earnestly to complete long neglected job,
there was a look of resolution in his face
that was an encouraging promise for the fu.
ture. ...
Towards evening the gentleman who had
brought the work to be done, came in evi.
IDENTIFY surprised to see it nearly completed,
as he had been put off so long. Before he
left he mentioned in hesitating manner,
that he had some more that he wished done.
81 like your style of finish rather better
than jones', but" and he seemed unwilling
to finish his sentence.
II understand you, sir" said the mechani
"you fear it will not be attended to in time.
assure you that am determined for the
future to confine myself strictly to my bu-
siness, and whatever engage to do shall
be done. l have waited for luck long
enough, and now am going to make some
myself"
"That's right, that's right" exclaimed the
gentlem an, graspiug him cordially by the
hand, I always said there was no better
workman in the land than you, if you would
only stick to your shop, and let speculuting
alone, and now am sure you will succeed"
And he did succeed, although not without
good many hard struggles with his beset-
ting faults. Several months after the con.
versaton with Uncle William took place
the old gentleman looked into the shop
where he was busiIy at work, and called out
in his cheerful voice:
"Well, friend John, what are you about!"
"Learning to handle my wooden spoon,
Uncle William, and l find it does very we'll

that John Eastman's luck has turned.

Jehu, The Fast Man.

An American Is but a man no law of
life has been suspended for his sake, and any
outrage of the virtues that make true earn.
estness will bring him into the same trou-
BILE that beset all transgressOrs. Rashness,
imprudence, caprice, foolhardy and heated
action, thinking like lightning and doing like
the thunderbolt, may be fine fun for while,
but such play turns out the dearest kind OF
work that must be done over again. ga
fast man" is one thing, and an earnest man
quite another. Jehu, the sun of Jonathan,
drives furously in the year 1859, as old Je.
hu drove in Bible Days. He yokes the un-
whipped horses OF speculation and over.tra.
ding to his chariot of business, and vanishes
in cloud of dust, and to. o.morrow is hauled
out of the ditch from beneath the ruins of
his equippage by some poor patient donkey
that has been plodding on far behind. Jehu
drives fast in domestic affairs up goes the
brown stone front, in and out of doors fash
Mrs. Jehu and the little Jehus, resplendent
in diamonds and taffeta what crowd mobs
his saloon on reception nights
Alas one silent gentleman rings the bell !,
calls Jehu aside, and 10 the sheriff has dis.
solved the Illusion, and old Slow joys up to
the auction and buys out the concern at ru-
inous discount. How Jehu cracks his whip
in the Senate. Onward and upward, new
worlds to conquer fig for justice, hurrah
for success ; man and God stand aside -
Alas, the poor creature is only running him.
self blind and mad, and will soon lie breath.
less, his hot cheek pressed against the cold
adamant of the higher law. Poor Jehu does
no better at his books-he may study him
self into any of the fifty American diseases,
shrek through high pressure oratory, write
new theories of the universe in extempore
trance, rave in the newspapers, and swear
upon the stump: old Germany can take the
noisy boy on his knee and teach him his A
B C's. Jehu is attractive, but his steeds al.
ways run away with him. 1t is sorry am.
bition, this range of being "fast ;" better be
an earnest man, an earnest woman, and grow
as the years grow, and you will see all along
your way the bleaching bones of these in
sane runners for the prize OF life.
