remained upon it a mortgage of five hundred
dollars, but this sum he hoped TO pay in very

culatcd exactly how long it would take him to
clear off this incumbrancc, and he went at work
with his eyes open.
One evening, James came home to his sup
per more thoughtful than usual. His young
wife noticed his manner, and she inquired its
cause.
"What is it James 2" she kindly asked.
"Why, never saw you look so sober before" "
"Wcll, I'll tell you, Hannah" returned the
young man, with a slight hesitation in his man

A G RICULTURAL, &C.
The True System of Farming.

Trying to do too much, is common error
into which the farmer often falls His great
eaSerncss in Striving to be rich, is doubtless
the cause Of his error. He is ambitious and
energetic, and forms his plans on Il large scale.
too often perhaps, without counting the cost.
He buys large farm and wants to be called n
large farmer" without understanding or con-
sidcring the true elements that constitute a
real farmer. lie fancics the greatness of that
profession rs is too often the common estimate
to be in proportion to the number Of acres,
not tosay cultivated, but embraced within the
boundaries Of his domain The fact Is now
being spread abroad, that large farm does
not make man either rich, contentcd or hap
py. but OH the contrary, the reverse Of all these,
unless well titled, when the labor is rewarded
by ample crops and fair success in the various
departments i'll which hc is engaged. No far
mcr can realize the full benefits of his prolcs-
sion without adopting thorough system of
culture. His success, commensurate to his
wishes, always depends upon the manner in
which he prepares his grounds, plants his seed,
and rcars his stock. Neither of these depart.
mcn's. which may be considered the cardinal
ones Of his profession, will take care of them
selves. The soil may be rich, but it needs
culture. His seed may be sown, but it should
be in due time, and always on soil well prcpar-
ed and of a suitable quantity for the proluc-
tinn Of the crop desired. His stock must be
constantly cared fort derives its thrift from
the soil. and sands again to that soil the sus-
tcnancc it requires; bnt this is not done i'll a
loose haphazard way, The farmers care is
required, anll all his better Judgment must be
exercised, in Keeping up this system of rccipro,
cal benefits that may be realized by every III
| tcligcnt and Industrious farmer
Thorough cultivation and systematic attcn
iop to all parts of his business is indispensable,
to good degree OF succcss. The very cornc,
Stopcs to this whole system Of farming is to d,
what yon 40 thoroughly; nature will not b.
cheated. and never .ivcs full returns to tn
