COUNTRY LIFE;

Five Acres More Than Enough,

ing five acres; plans, and size, and
arrangements were in the vague
and musty future; for months the
ground could not be broken to
build the foundations, and little
could be done beside preparing for
the next year. The first thing that
seemed of vital importance, was
his stock; pigs and chickens could
be obtained at tany time; horses had
to be had of course, but need not
bother one till the last moment;
but COW was q creature that must
be taken when a good one offered.
Moreover, | have a weakness for
cows; it is purely theoretical, for
my knowledge is less than moder-
ate; not even extending to the
mode Of milking them; but their
big eyes, and gentle manners, and
unnecessary horns, and split feet
have always filled my heart with
love and wonder. Horses are
miserable creatures always doing
precisely what they ought not to
do, kicking when they ought to 60,
going when they ought to stand
still, banking when their owner is
in the most frantic haste-for ever
sick or lame or requiring to be shod
"a pest, a nuisance, and a bore;
but cows do not baulk, or run, or
go lame, or need shoeing; and al
though they occasionally kick over
the milk pail, it is probably with
good reason; they have nice long
coats that keep them from catching
cold in winter, and have an odd
way Of perspiring through their
noses, that is as curious as it is in,

point, therefore, was TO buy COW.

until next day. "

found next morning up to her knees

Mirthfulness.

The power of discovering a
comic point, of appreciasing hu-
morous hit, and enjoying the fun
of droll position, is a gift not 10
be despised. 1t is not vain, silly
or unbccoming thing, as some
moping owls and grave dullards
suppose. 1t is, indeed, like all
human faculties, liable to abuse,
and capable of being perverted TO
evil; but it is essentially a good
gift, and ought to be turned to the
good account Of which it is suscep-
tiblc, and to manifest itself in the
increase of the cheerfulness, tho
happiness, and the affection of 80
cial and family lite.
We might go further. We might
say, and adduce much evidence to
support the proposition, that as
humor is discerned only by thoso
who can, to any extent, catch the
feeling and spirit OF humor is ono

and thus the springs of mirthful.

alterations OF Joy and sorrow that
brighten or darkeh the course Of
life, has found an ever fresh glad
ness in the comic vein and jocund
humor OF some mirthful member Of

we have ever known-the best in

with the best heads an hearts,

A HINT TO BUSINESS MEN.

The practice of some men, says the Richmond
Enquirer, seems to be to make as little show in
the way of business as possible. Such an one, if
trader, takes no pains withhis store. Everything
around him is in worn out, dilapidated, dirty
condition. To have it otherwise would cost a
dollar for white-wash, five dollars, perhaps. for
painting, and few dollars besides for cleaning
up and putting things i'll order, and SO he plods
on apd loses hundreds Of dollars worth Of Gust ON
for the want of atten ton to these matters, while
his more sagacious neighbor, keeping up with the
times, and having an eye to appearances, does a
prosperous business. Another viii spend no mon
ey in any way make business, for fear he should
not get it back again. Consequently, he sends
out no circulars, distributes no hand bills, pub
fishes no advertisements, but sits down croakng
about hard tina es, mourning over the future pros
poets, no money and no trade, and comes out just
where he might expect to come--shoTt; while his
nei ghbor, following different track doing all that
is necessary to be done to make business, has bu-
siEess and is not short, but has money to loan
perhaps. Times have changed, and the manner Of
doing business now is different from what it used
to be. 1t would be just as foolish to insist upor
doing business in the old fashioned way as il
would be to insist npon travelling with an OK
team instead Of railroad; to get news by tbt
old>fashioned stages instead of having it brought
by the telegraph.

How to be Agreeable in Printing Office
Resler if you want to make yourselfverya gree-
able in a printing office, step into the sanctum
FIRST If the editor is writing or proof reading,
take seat along side of him, and tell him how
you started in business, about your doc. your
horse, your wife and baby, or all you can remem-
Der about your school boy sports Should the
editor manifest disposition to be inattentive to
your story, stick to it and go through with it
Should o9Sof the compositors, or the sdevil,''
step up and ask for copy, or whether the proof is
read, or if either is done, you should, by all
means, ask what the article is about and insist on
seeing it. Of course the editor will read it for
you, and profit by your opinion to its fitness to
go into the columns Of the paper.
After thus entertaining the editor, step into
the composing room and ask each one CT the
hands as many questions as to the cases. letter,
&C., as may be agreeable to yourself. Then be-
gin to whistle. Ali printers are fond of whistling
Give them at least three Or four jigs. Then ask
the foreman whether he hasnt's a quarter so 10
treat2 If you don't do that he viii feel sighted
if he. is true man Before leaving the Office
you should take hold of the hand press-give it
pull and let it fly back, just to how it works.
If possible, give the power press turn and don't
forget TO examine everything in the shape of
matter on the stone, even if you should knock
some of il into pi-that will only put the patience
of the printer to fair test. When you leave the
Office, be sure to promise another visit by to
morrow next day, and our word for it you will
not be forgotten by the printer for long while
