kind Of robustness that they give.
Now, there may be certain sorts Of
faults of which this il true-faults Of
manner, faults Of irregularity but this
ought not to blind us to the moral char
scter and to the effects Of faults that are
sested on conscience; that involve prin-
ciple; that touch, the question Of bene-
violence and seldshness that have in
them certain relations to the waste Of the
supply of life that run their roots even
deeper, and touch the very seat of hon
or, and, one may say. Of character and
salvation. .,.
One Of the reasons why faults are 80
freqneat, and so little considered, must
be Of course a general imperfection Of
human nature But the uncousciousness
Of men as to the details of their life
while they are pursuing weighty matters
this also is reason Of the faults of
which men are the subjects. They are
unconscious Of them largerly. because
there is very little true friendship that
takes upon itself the offices Of true friend
ship This is that which makes the
household so invaluable. The father and
mother love their children so much that
they can tell them their faults at any
rate, till their children get so old that
they know more than their parents or
think they do. There is q fidelity pos
,sible in the household without risking
friendship, without risking love.
And there is another kind of discip-
line besides this Of love-that in the
school and that in public affairs.-Where
boys and young men are thrown together
the inter comparison, the angry taunt,
very soon makes men aware Of those So
cial faults which are apt to be disclosed
in the social circle. But there is very lit
tie friendship aside from that Of the fam
ily which teaches q man after he gets
out of the school and out of the family
what his faults are How many persons
do you know, each Of you, to whom you
would 60 and ask: "Will you tell nae
honestly what you thiuk to be my prin-
cipal faults T'-that is, persons that you
think have sagacious judgement enough
to know, and persons that are SO kind
that you can afford to have them know
There stands command in the word of
God, Confess your faults one to anoth
er;" but, for the most part, men are sell
fish, and the christian duties Of life are
80 little inculcated and practiced in So
cial relations that one dose not dare to
confess his faults to his neighbor. He
--ys: eff should it would be putting
club in his hand, and by and by he
would strike me with it. He would get
angry with me and the facts would come
out. Or, there would be a competition
in business and he would use them to my
disadvantage. 1t is not safe" And the
judgement is right. There are very few
people that it is safe to trust. There
are very few men whose judgement Of
your faults is one that it would be safe
for you to trust And SO, from these
various infirmities Of men we gov up
with clustering faults. Many Of them
reach to the very vital points Of char
acter And no man speaks TO us Of
them.

SOUND SKNs8 ABoUr ADvKRrIsING.-
We find the following array Of good
sense about advertising in the Carding
ton Republican:
A young man just commencing busi-
ness, and wishing to advertise sought
the counsel OF retired merchant as to
the best mode Of procedure, when the
following conversation ensued:
.When is the best time to advertise"
"When do you put your sign up?'
"Why 1 don't take it down; i: is up
all the time
| THAT is just what you want to do in
advertising-do 60 all the time-never
stop and you are sure to win.'
but why advertise during dull times"
because that is just the time to make
new customers, and those you wish to
make such have more time to read and
will notice and read your advertisements,
while in busy times they might not look
at them passing glance, in consequence
Of being busy themselves. =
/ "But the large majority of business
men do not advertise during dull sea
sons H ~
That is just the reason why l advo-
cate it in such seasons. You have fewer
advertisements to contend with, and 1
verify believe that made more new GUS

ordered the renewing of the experiments, in

trials have been made also, with equal success,
in the case of other animals, as horses, sheep,

eggs, the first laid give female and the last laid
eggs give male products. The law is general,
till the end of the laying season, when the
number of female production exceed the male,
under circumstances not yet sufficiently ascer-

that the people can explain why the stock

CUTTING GRAIN CENTURY Aao.--A
correspondent of the Germantown (Pcnn.)
Telegraph gives 1856 as the date at which the
common grain cradle was introduced, and de-
scribcs the mode of harvesting In use at that
time as follows:
They took tho common grass scythe and
bored hole in tho snath near the lower nib
which was bent over ~ the heel Of the scythc
and fastened, the rod being about twelve inches
off from the snath; string was tied across
from the iron rod to the snath in several places
for the purpose of preventing the grain from
falling through. With this rough tool tho
farmer cut his grain by always keeping the
grain OH his left hand, instead cf the right MS
we now do, so as to support the snath. Fol
lowing HIM was a fellow with reaping hook
to put into sheaves, and then followed
the binder. For every two mowers and
two gathcrers there was one binder, who could
keep up, except in heavy grain. The usual
days work for these ive men was five acres
ifthe grain stood up. y.

Life.

The mere lapse Of years is not life To eat
and drink, and sleep to be exposed, to dark
ness and the light to pace round in tho mill
OF habit, and turn the wheel of wealth, to
make reason our book keeper; and turn thought
into IN implement of trade-this is not life.
In all this, but poor fraction of tho conscious
ness, OF humanity is awakened, and the soanti-
ties still slumber which make it worth while to
be. knowledge, truth, love- beauty, good
ness, faith alone can give vitality to the me-
chanism of existence, the laugh of mirth which
vibFates through the heart, the tears that
freshen the dry waters within the music that
brings childhood back, tho doubt which makes
us mediate, the death which startles us with
mystery, the hardship which forces us to strug-
gle, the anxiety that ends in trust are the true
pourishments of our natural being.

+ We will give to intellect, to religion, and to

a nd still it may be boldly affirmed that ccono-
my, taste, skill and neatncss in the kitchen,
have great deal to do in making life happy
and prosperous. ., > 4, ,c,e.s ~
Nor is it indispensably necessary that a
house should be filled with luxuries. The
qualifications for all good housekeeping can be
displayed as we'll on a small scale as on large
one.
Skillful cooking is as readily discovered in
nicely baked potato OF n respectable johnny

canvass backs. : So %ae
The charm of good housekeeping is the or
der of economy and taste displayed in attention
to little things, and these little things have
wonderful influence.
A dirty kitchen and bad cooking have driven
many one from home to seek for comfort aud
happiness somewhere else.
Domestic economy is u scicncc-a theory of
life which all sensible women ought to study
and practice. None of our excellent girls are
fit to be married until they are thoroughly
educated in. tho docp and profound mysteries

See to it, all yc who are mothers that your
