vigilance thou gainest the victory
over myself, courageously attack the
vices Of others.
Silence is absolutely necessary TO

crate discourses, pieces of eloquence
ought to be language unknown to
him his actions ought to be his
language.
Day and night think Of doing
good. Life is short If, when thou
oughtest to benefit thy fellow crea,
lures to-day, thou delayest till to,
morrow. make atonement.
He who persecutes a good man
makes war against Heaven. Heaven
created virtue, and protects it he

ton and principle of all the rest.
Let harmony and concord reign
throughout every community BY
this means quarrels will be Danish

When we are ready TO do thing,
let us do it. Let US never wait for
time or tide; they never wait for
US.
When thou laborest for Others
do it with the same zeal as if it were
for myself.
He receives the greatest number
of favors who knows how to return
them.
He who lives without envy and
covetousness may aspire to every
thing.
Never contract friendship with q
man who is not better than your
self.
To him nothing is possible who is
always dreaming of past possibilities.
The wise man bushes at his faults,
but is not ashamed to amend them.
A mai who is angry is no longer

IMPLEMENTS TO MOVING MACHINES
Few farmers get through the season
OF hay cutting without breaking the
moving machine at least once, by
running into distractions that lit
tie care would have removed. Pains
should be taken in going over the
fields this season, to have all of these
distractions taken out of the way
Ii it is not done at moving time put
up marks and attend to it as soon as
the grass crop is gathered. Ifthere
is an ant-hill or knoll, level them
down lfthere is q hollow, fill it up !;
dig up the few rocks that have been

that clump of willows which is en-
croaching on the grass plat more
every year. Tho expense of doing
all these things will be less than that
