MAKE FARM LABOR FASHIONABLE

MAKE FARM LABOR FASHIONABLE
At the base Of the prosperity of any people
lies this great principle-naahe farm labor
fashionable at hom,e Educate, instruct,
encourage; and offer all the incentives you
can offer, to give interest and dignity to
labor at home. Enlist the heart and the
intellect of the family in the support Of a
domestic system that will make labor attrac-
tive at the homestead. By means of the
powerful influences of early home education,
endeavor to invest practical labor with an
interest that will cheer the heart of each
member of the family, and thereby you
will give to your household the grace,
peace, refinement and attraction which God
designed home should possess.
The truth Isl we must talk more, think
more, acork more, and act more, in refer
ence to questions relating to home.
The training and improvement of the
physical, intellectual, social aud moral pow
ers and sentiments of the youth of our
country, require something more than the
school-house, academy, college and univer-
sity. The young mind should receive judi
cious training in the field, in the garden, in
the barn, in the workshop, in the parlor,
in the kitchen-iu a word, around the
hearthstone at home.
Whatever intellectual attainments your
son may have acquired, he is unfit to 60
forth into society if he has not thrown a.
round him the genial and purifying inAu-
ences of parents, sisters, brothers and the
man-sauing influence of the family govern
ment. The nation must look for virtue,
wisdom and strength, to the education that
controls and shapes the home policy Of
the family circle. There can be no love Of
country where there is no love of home
Patriotism, true and genuine, the only kind
worthy of the name, derives its mighty
strength from fountains that gush out a.
round the hearthstone and those who for
get to cherish household interests will lsoon
learn to look with indifference upon the
interests of their common country.
We must cultivate roots-uot the tops
We must make the family government,
the school, the farm, the church, the shop,
the agricultural fairs, the laboratories of
our future greatness. We must educate
our sons to be farmers, artizans, architects,
engineers, geologists, botansit, chemist
in word, practical men. Their eyes must
be turned from Washington to their States,
counties, townships. districts, homes. This
is true patriotism and the only patriotism
that will perpetually preserve the nation

Poor CARTER.-Some of the students
Of the Indiana State University were sus-
pected to be in the habit of drinking bran
dy. Where they obtained it was mystery.
DIR Daily, the principal, determined to fer
ret out the secret. Calling in neighbor-
ing druggists, the proprietor asked him
"How that sick student, Mr.. Carter, came
on?' Smelling rat, the Doctor soon drew
out Of the apothecary the fact that some of
his students had been in the habit of pur-
chasing brandy for sick student of the
name of Carter; who, they said, was only
kept alive by stimulauts. This Carter was
a fcticious character, and the Doctor had
the secret. However, he kept his own
counsel The next time the students as
ssembled in class, he remarked that he had
a mournful task to perform, as President of
the University, in announcing the death of
their student, Mr.. Carter, after a
lingering illness of several weeks, during a
portion of which be was only kept alive by
stimulants. He hoped they would bear it
with resignation; be would no longer de-
tain them, but leave them to their own re.
