Starting Early Potatoes.

a crop of potatoes ready for the
table early in June, may be secured
without great trouble. If seed pota-
toes are brought into a warm room
about the first Of March the eyes start
rapidly, the nourishment in the tubers
Will suetoin thorn for two or three
weeks, by which time they are usually
planted out in some favorable spot.
Ofcourse, care must be taken in plant
ing out not to break the sprouts. Or
the tubers may be planted in a hot
bed Of moderate temperature about
the middle of the month. Cut them in
halves, lay the fiat side down, as thick
as they can be placed, and cover with
about two inches of earth. They may
be trans-planted when two or three
inches high. They should be removed
carefully, separating the roots with as
little injury as possible. They will
not be likely to yield a full crop under
this treatment, and may therefore be
planted more closely, say in drills thir-
" inches apart in the drills. Another
method is to put pieces Of potatoes in
squares of turf, set them close togeth-
er in warm place where they can be
wateredreadily. On cold nights pro-
teet them with straw. When large
enough they can be set out, turf and
all without disturbing the roets. This
might not pay on large, scale, but
enough may thus be brought forward
for family supply, until the main
crop is matured enough to draw upon.

YOungster, school-boy, clerk or ap-
prentice, word or two in your ear.
/ Ifyou desire success In any matter
pertaining to this life you must have
a purpose, a determination that, God
helping you, you will achieve success.
You may be poor, friendless, unknown.
Your clothing seant your stomach halt
hlled, your place may be at the foot
OF the ladder, no matter. What ever
your position may be, do your duty in
it, stOutly, and perseveringly, with
your eyes fixed far ahead and upward.
Keeping the purpose before you that
you viii rise, be obedient to your en-
ployer, attentive to your business,
obhging to your schoolmates and eour-
teous to strangers and seize every
opportunity to improve your heart,
your mind, and your workmanship.
Do everything well, no sighting, no
hiding defects, aiming always at per-
fectiOn. Watch those who are skillful,
and strive to equal and excel then.
Secure the friendship of all BY deserv-
ing it. Allow no opportunity of rend-
ering a service to pass without improV-
ing 1t, even ifit costs you some labor
or self denial. Be of use to others,
sven in a smaller way for time may
come when they may be of service to
you. A selfish man may get ahead
faster than you, but sel6shness is CON
temtible, and you need not envy his
success; when you achieve your OBJ
ject nObly, you viii enjoy it and be
respected. Always bear it in mind
that character is capital. To gain this,
you must be SO serupulOusly honest,
thatyOu would be as willing to put a live
cOalin your pocket as a penny that is
not yours. Never run in debt, even
though you should suffer somewhat.
No matter what the amount of your
earning may be, save a portion every
week, and invest it in the hands of
man of good standing, it viii grow,
and VIII stand you IN good stead some
day. Better temporary abstinence and
constant plenty afterward, than IN
earned present comfort and future
perpetual want. Never lie openly or
coVertly, by word or action. A liar
may deceive his fellows, God and him
self never. Conscious of falsity, a
liar can have no self-respect; without
self-respect, reputation can not be
achieved.
With noble purpose as to the end
of all your actions, and with action
becoming your purpose, your success
is only question of time, always pro
vided you have some brain and abund-
ant common sense.

Smile When You Can.

The sad of this world need your smiles;
and the world itself may be better for
them. They do not cost much, and often
times bring their own sweet reward and
none but the Infinite One can estimate
the amount of good one little smile may
do. For aught that you or may know,
the gentle, sympathizing smile, that you
gratuitously bestoW upon some unfortun-
ate soul, laboring beneath a weight of
doubt and grief, may tell upon countless
generations yet unborn.-Oh, if the peo-
pie only better realized the inestimable
influence that even so little an act as a
smile may exert upon one or a thousand
of their fellow beings, they would not be
SO penurious of them as they are often
prone to be.
Some people never smile. Selfish be-
ingsl Yet, perhaps, if you should accuse
these same individuals Of selfshness, they
would deny the charge with a "gustO"
truly worthy of a better cause. But it is
selfish never to smile. BY withholding
smiles We refuse oftentime an opportunity
Of manifesting thankful and happy
spirit for the good we receive from others,
and from our GOd--tU say nothing Of the
opportunity we may lose of cheering and
comforting some less fortunate one. How
many times have I heard the expression,
1 know she is a good woman, or that
he is a good man, for he smiles SO sweet
ly ; and, in my oppiDion, it is even poss-
ible for the soul to be brought to Christ
through the influence Of a holy smile, IL
radiating the face of true Christian. l
do not love to see a sober faced Christian;
one, whose visage is always extended to
lis utmost capacity, and never Illuminated
by a heaysn-ht smile. To such I would
say, ''smilo when you can. ',-RuraI Ne,0

that in a short time very few wi be

extinction before anything can be ae-

with the change which is taking place

Our Best PaFIOr.

Don't keep a solitary parlor, into
which you 60 but once a month, with
your parson or sewing society. Hang
round your walls pictures, which shall
tell stories of mercy, hope, courage,
faith and charity. Make your living
room the house. Let the place be
such that when your boy has gone to
distant lands, or even when, perhaps,
he clings to a single plank in the wa
tors Of the wide ocean, the thought Of
the old homestead shall come to him
in his desolatioD, bringing always
light, hope and love. Have no dun

never open---no blinds that are always

A portion of the 54th Is at Mattoon, that
place being threatened from Shelby and
Moultrie Counties.
Two companies Of the Invalid Corps,
