FARMeR's DAusHrERs.- Girls, don't look
towards the city with longing eyes; if you
would preserve the rosy freshness of your
cheeks stay in the country air and sun.
Don't ape village customs by wearing GAL
'ers of cloth when you " ak they are rot
suited to rough country reads or BY inviting
an evening party to meet at nine o'clock, for
that is bed time.
When you would adopt custom, ask if it
is suited to country life. Motif tits fashionable
n The city.
Don't stand in awe Of young lady Just
from the city. We would rather look for a
wife where there is less starch and csrmine-
among farmers daughters who have the glow
of hea thin the cheek and sparkle of intelli-
gcnce in the eye.
Rest satisfied to be farmers daughter
You know not what you would sacrifice were
you to change places with the envied city
gi-ls. Go to work and make yourself and
your home as pleasant, lovely and attractive
as you can.
Heed ard study, and use all your means
within your reach to cultivate your minds s.
Select from your associates. of DO h sexes,
those who are equally aspiring with your

HINrs 10 MoTHEEs-HlRINa CHILDREN.
III can't get Frank TO do thing without
hiring him." said q mother to me one day.
"He seems very avarcious for such boy
There he is now" she said, looking out Of
the pa.lor window smiling, working away
with all his might. shall have to pay him
dino for that. He is saving up his money
for trip to the city"
There were plenty Of d mes and dollars in
mothers portemonaic, 20 the hiring system
was no great inconvenience, but the influence
! on the mind of her child was very hurtful.
A child who is hired to do whatever he is
tod c.n never be an obedent one. Even q
single instance Of it, resorted to, as some
mothers will, in an emergency, will do much
to undermine parents authority.
A plain once in storm offered his men
extra pay if they would make extra efforts for
the ships safety 1t succeeded well but every
af srward they looked for the same promise
before they could be induced 10 do their duty
in storm. Instead of q cheerful prompt
ness in doing whatever a parent desires, q
paid child goes 6, udgingly to every task, and
quickly learns t. strike for higher wages when
it can be safely done.
1t is very we'll to have ctilden early taught
habits of industry, and they should be early
encouraged to earn money for specific uses !;
but wise discrimination is needed in such
matters, or more harm than good will be the
result. First of all, child should be taught
instant obedience to a parents wish liule
hands and hearts should be taught to be ready
and cheerful in performing all manner ofwo,k
that child may. After that lesson is thor
oughlv learned it way be well to enter at
times into a distinctly specified agreement
with the child, paying him certain fixed
sum for some particular piece Of work not in
the exact line Of his everyday duties. 1t
should be left in his choice whether to accept
the proposal or not, but once commenced .
parent should impress on his mind the impor-
tanec of perseverance until it is completed
These chill fish !es,o We think so little Of
have often lifelong bearing.
"Aftcr We were six years DID," said YER
monter, 1--WE all earned our living" l cannot
imagine how it was done, but never knew
more upright, industrious, clock-work fam
lily. The daughters we're educated at the
first young ladies seminary in the land, and
one at least is now an earnest laborer in
foreign mission field. Good habits formed in
childhood are the richest legacy you can Il ave
your children. Without them they are poor
even with the richest stores ofsilver and gold.
However lowly your lot may be, it is in your
power to leave them this priceless inheri-
lance.

slave to liquor, that he had to be kept an un-
willing prisoner by Christopher North on an
occas on when some literary performance
had to be completed by certain time and
on that very day, without even taking leave
of any member of the family, "he ran off at
full speed down the avenue at Ellery, and was
soon hidden, not in the groves of the valley,
but in some obscene den, where, drinking
among low companions, his magnificent mind
was soon brought on level with the vilest Of
the vile" When his spree was over he
would return to the society Of decent men.
DE Quincy wss such slave to opium
that his daily allowance was of more impor
tancc than eating. IAN ounce OF laudanum
day Frustrated animal life during the fore
noon. 1t was no unfrequent sight to find
him asleep on the rug before the fire in his
own room, his head on a book, his hands
crossed on his breast. In order to show him
off. his friends had to arrange their supper
parties SO that sitting until three or four in
the morning, he might be brought to that
point at which, in charm and power of CONVEX
sation, be was so truly wonderful"
Burns was DO less drunkard than Cole

And who can remember the last day of Poe
without an irrepressible regret ? lie was on
his way to Marcy confiding woman, stop

Douglas Jerrold was dsvotee Of GIN
Byron was tippler, and his vile Don .Juar
was the inspiration of rum, as might vel; bt
supposed, for its indecencies make it unfit fol
any woman to read. Steele, "the brilliant
author of the Christian Hero" was beastly
drunkard. Men wrote of him that che woulG

and have revel with his bottle companions ,
Ro,in says of Alexander the Great that the
true poison that brought him to his end wal
wine. The Empress Elizabeth, of Russia
was completely brutified by strong liquors.
She was often in such state Of bacchic &c
stacy during the day, that she could not bt

would loosely attach some robes, which a
few clips of the scissors would disengage In
the evening.
Let every man, especially those in public
life, who desire to avoid drunkard's death
remember that he is on the crumbling verge
of such an iufamy when he begins to feel
that in order to prepare himse'f, the doctor
for consultation, the l,wyer for cause, the
clergyman for sermon, the politician for q
speech, he must take pin' Of coffee, cup Of
strong tea, a glass of brandy and water, or .
