en- advantage OF in rainy days with the great
est benefit. There is almost always some-
thing that needs mending Or making. Gates,
plough-handles, plough-beams, harrows, culti-
yators and hundred other things could be
made or mended if the farmer had the tool
house and to6s. Long and frequent journeys
TO the shops could be avoided.
The respective tools should have their re-
spoctiye placos-be hung up with system, 50
that one can put his hand ON them in the
night.as in the day. And an embargo must
be made against lending. positive rule
must be made against it, or in six months the
tool house would be empty So many farm
crs neglect to buy tools, and yet need them,
and borrow them of their enterprising neigh
bors that it is impossible to keep IA set of
tools if lending is practised.
In erecting tool house you must have
wide, high doors so that gates, hay racks and
other large things can be taken in and out.
II is a good place to rive ont clapboards,
slaves, &c. Have your timber sawed to the
proper length and when cold, stormy days
come, you and your hands are not out of a
job.
There are always about the house great
many patching Jobs needed, such as hopping
barrels, tubs, &c.--and with hoop poles on
hand such jobs can also be attended TO.

THE Lltilc Arm. Chair.

An old man sat In an old armchair,
When IN there came, with hoisterous 10y,
His groat-grandchiid, a little boy
With small armchair he had found somewhere
In an old clubhouse, up Am old out-stair
And he set II down by the old mau there.
It had been his own In carly years.
And thoughts were crowllng every whore
From the dingy wood Of Tint haunted chair,
And the old mans eyes ran down with tears
As he read that pictured hornhook o'or,
which gave him back the days fyorc.
In turn, his brothers and sisters, ten,
Had claimed and called that chair uoir own,
And there each sat on his little THRONE
lttlo race Of great small men
Like kings elsewhere for @ little space,
TIL rival came and took biz place
And another set, with toy and shout,
Ills own six sons aud daughters sweet,
Had kept possession Of that seat,
Till the chair itself had thrust them out,
A. thrnsts It's toemng tenants forth,
The old ancestral armchair, earth
All saving one a daughter fair
Who broothod her last In that loved armchair.
And then the chair was put away
And timo rolled on, and, ono by one,
daughter now, and then a son,
Went out into the worlds highway
And amer many years had gone
The old, old man was len alone
Save by that boy, whose mother dear
Her widows sorrow meekly bore,
And watched his second childhood DOR,
And stroyo his dropping heart to chcori
And there In tears In his Old armchair,
Tho old man KAT with his hoary hair
And wrlnklod front and temples bare,
And gazod and wopt on that small armchair
Which his groat-granagllld had put down thcr
