rHEFARMER's CREED.

We believe in small farms and thor
ough cultivation.
We believe the soil loves to cat as
well as the owner, and ought, therefore,
to be we'll manurcd.
We believe in going to the bottom of
things, and therefore, in deep blowing
and enough of it. All the better if it
be a sub-soil plow.
We believe in large crops, which
leave the ground better than they find it
making both the farm and farmer rich
at once. We believe that every farm
should own a good farmer.
We believe that the best fertilizer of
any soil is the spirits of industry, enter
prise and MISREPRESENTATION this,
lime, gypsum and guano will be of little
use.
We believe in good fences, good
barns, and good farm-houses, good or
chards and children enough to gather
the fruit.
We believe in clean kitchen, a neat
wife in it, a clean cupboard, clean
dairy and clean conscicnce.-Dtrie

4 WISH I HAD CAPITAL"

So VIC heard a great strapping young
man cxcIaim the other day. We con
cluded that he wanted practical adj
vice, and we shall give it to him.
You want capital, do your And sup
pose you had what you call capital, what
would you do with itg Haven't you
hands, feet, muscle, bone, brains, health,
and don't you call them captal9 What
more capital did God give anybody 7
"Oh! but they are not money!" say
you. But they ,arc more than money,
and nobody can take them from YOU
Don't you know how to use them2 If
you don't its time you were learning
Take hold of the plow, or hoe, or jack
plane, or broad-ax, and so to work.
Your capital will then, in due time, yield
YOU large interest. Ay, but there's
the rub; you don't want to work; you
want money on credit, SO you can play
gentleman and speculate, and end by
playing the vagabond.
Or YOU want a farm, with plenty of
hands upon it to do the work, while YOU
run over the country and dissipatc; or
you want to marry some rich girl who
may be foolish enough to take you
for your good looks, that she may sup
port you.
Shame on you, young man f! Go to
work with the capital you have, and
You'll soon make interest enough upon it
to give you as much money as you need,
and make you feel like Il man. If you
cannot make money on what capital you
have, you could not if you had large
amount in cash. If you do not know
how to uso bone, muscle and brains, You
would not know how to use gold. If
you let the capital you have lie idle,
and waste and rust out, it would be the
same with you if you had gold; you
would only know how to waste it.
Then don't stand about idle, a great
helpless boy, waiting for something to
turn up, but go to work. Take the
first work you can find, no matter what
It is, so that you do it well. Yes, what
ever you undertake do it well; always
do your best. Ifyou manage the CAPT
ital you already have, you will soon
have plenty more to manage; but if you
can not or will not manage the capital
God has given you, you will never have
any other to manage. Do you hear
young man?

WHAT FARMERS CANNoT CONCEAL
A poor farmer cannot conceal the fact
that he is poor farmer. All his sur
roundings proclaim the verdict against
his his horses, cattle, Wagons, har-
ness, plows, fences, iclds-cyen his wife
and children bear silent, but uumistak-
able evidence against him. On the
other hand, all these things will testify
favorably on behalf Of The good farmer.
Every passcr by can read the evidence
pro or con. This fact alone, ought TO
stimulate every farmer to do his best,
for the sake of his character, as well as
interest for he may rest assured that
every passcrby will pronounce Judgment
according to the evidence.

MANNERS.

Young folks should be manncrIy.-
How to be so is the question. Many a
good boy and girl feel that they can
not behave to suit themselves in the
presence of company. They feel timid,
bashfuI, and sclf-dstrustful the moment
they are addressed by stranger, Or APP
pear in company. There is but one way
to get over this feeling and acquire
graceful and easy manners, that is to do
the best they can all the time at home,
as well as abroad. Good manners are
not learned from arbitrary teachings so
much as acquired from habit. They
grow upon us by use. We must be
courteous, agreeable, civil, kind, gentle
manly and womanly at home, and then
it will soon become kind of second ma
turc to be so c Everywhere. A coarse,
rough manner at home bcgcts a habit of
roughncss, which VIC cannot lay off If
we try, when we go among strangers
Be most agreeable at home. Home is
the school for all the best things,
especially for good manners.

WEAR A SMILE-Which will you 10
smile and make others happy, or be
grabbed and make everybody around
YOU miserable You can live among
flowers and singing-birds, or in the mirc
surrounded by fogs and frogs. The
amount of happiness which you can pro-
ducc is incaIculablc, if you will only
show a smiling face, kind heart, and
speak pleasant words. On the other
hand, by sour looks, cross words, and n
frctful disposition, you can make hum
dreds unhappy almost beyond cndur-
ancc. Which will you dol Wear
pleasant countcnance let JOY beam in
your eye and love glow on your fore
head. There is no Joy so great as that
which springs from kind act or pleas
ant deed, aud you may feel it at night
when you rest, and AZ morning when
you rise, and throughout the day when
about your daily business.

LONDON, MAY 27.--The Alabama claims still
form the great theme of conversation and news
paper comment. The Times of to-day has an
article on the communications of Sir Francis
Head, which have recently been published here
respecting the case of the steamer Caroline and
the course of the United States towards Canada
during the patriot war.
The Times says Mr.. Summers assertions of
England's hostility to America is met by the tes-
timony of American officials. Abuses much
more fragrant occurred within the frontier of
the United States, for the popular feeling of the
State of New York is admitted to have more
than countenanced the Fenian expeditions to
Canada.
The Messrs. Laird, of Birkenhead, who built
the Alabama, have recently published a letter
giving legal opinions and extracts from docu-
ments and speeches, to prove that the building
of the Alabama was not Illegal. The letter has
been extensively copied, and is thus commented
on by the press to-day
The Star says--'L Laird may be gutless but
that England cannot escape the penalty is the
verdict of the best authorities, and is foregone
conclusion
The Post say:-"The vindication of the Lards
is complete. The law was inadequate to prevent
the transaction, and the remedy lay with the
Legislature, and not with the Executive
The Standard says Laird's vindication con-
demns the Government The inadequacy of the
law is an insufficient excuse for breach of in
ternational obligations England's obligations
were broken for the North rs well as the South.
The Americans were equally guilty of n breach
of national obligations in the case of the Caro-
line, and in the case of the Fenian drillings
and organizations. The final reckoning will
give heavy balance to the debit of the United
States.
