Rules for Farmers.

l. The farmer ought to rise early, to
see that others do SO, and that both his
example be followed and his orders
obeyed.
2. The whole farm should be regularly
inspected, aud not only every field exam.
ined, but every beast seen at least once a
day.
8. In a considerable farm it is of the
utmost consequence to have hands special
ly appropriated for each of the most i'm
portant departments of labor, for there
is often great loss of time, where per-
sons are frequently changing their en-
ploymenss, and the work is not executed
so well.
4. Every means should be thought of
to diminish labor or to increase its power
For instance, by proper arrangement, five
horses may do as much labor as six per-
form, according to the usual mode of em.
ploying them.
S. A farmer ought never to engage in
a work, whether of ordinary practice Or
intended improvement, except. after the
most careful inquiries; but when begun,
he ought to proceed in it. with much at
tention and perseverance until he has
given it fair trial.
6. 1t is main object in management
not to attempt too much, and never to
begin work without a probability of
being able to finish it in due season.
7. Every farmer should have book
for inserting all those useful hints which
are so frequently occurring in conYersa-
tion, in books, in papers, and gaths led in
the course of his reading, or in practical
management of his farm.-Sinclair,
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1867-06-26

Timothy Titconb, in his Rural Life,
says" The improvements made in farm
ing implements have not been made by
farmers themselves, but by outsiders
mechanics and men of science-who have
marveled at the braiI1css stupidity which
toiled on in its old track of unreasoning
routine, and looked with suspicion and
Encouragement upon innovations. The
reason Why the farmer has not been fore.
most in improving the instruments and
methods of his own business is, that his
mind has been untitled for improvement
by the excessive labors of his body. "A
man whose whole vital energy directed to
to the support of muscle, has, of course,
none to direct to the support of thought.
"A man whose strength is habitually ex-
hausted by labor. becomes .-at length, in
capable of mental exertion; and cannot
help feeling that half the farmers in the
country establish insuperable obstacles to
their own Improvement by their excessive
toll. They are nothing more than the
living machines of a calling which so far
exhausts their vitality that they have
neither disposition nor power to improve
either themselves or their calling. a**
There is no doubt about the fact that a
life whose whole energies arc expended
in hard, bodily labor is such life as God
never intended man should live.
81 am perfectly aware that'I am not
revealing pleasant truths. We are much
in the habit of glorifying rural life, and
praising the intelligence and virtue of
rural populations; and if they believe US
they cannot receive this with pleasure.
But the question which most interests
them is not whether these statements are
true. Is tho philosophy sOunds Does o

Good Temper.

There's not cheaper thing On earth
Nor yet one hall so dear;
'Tis worth more than distinguished birth, (,
Or thousands gained year.
It lends the toy a new delight,
'Tis virtues 6rmast shield,
Aud adds mere beauty to the night
Than oil the stars may yield.
A charm to Danish grief away,
To snatch the brow from care;
Turn teats to smi'es, make dullness gay,
Spread gladuess everywhere.
And yet it's cheap as summer dew
That gems tho lily's breast;
A talisman for love ns true
AS ever man possessed.
What may this wonirous spirit.be,
With power unheard before
This charm, this bright divinity?
Good temper.-nothing more.
Good temper, It's the choicest gift
That woman homcward brings,
And can the poorest peasant lift
To bliss unknown to kings.

reference TO the season Of the year when the

the old women pisat garden sass, and the lit.
tie boys sass everybody; when the old hens
lay eggs and We can then have them for
breakfast the cid men lay abed late of morn

girls play hockey from school, it being mere
congenisl to their feelings TO play with dolls
than with school books; when speckled
calves skip DER the green gentle lambs
skip by the side Of the Older ones, and the
city bellies skip about generally when gentle
zephyrs begin TO zeph, and all nature Is get
ting ready for q big bust; the ice bursts in
the river the buds burst from their winter
quarters and the boys bust sronnd town pro.
miscn0usly, Of that kind al spink l~s pro-
pose writing about. Yes, it is the season of
the year when the boys and girls love each
