LEARN A TRADE,-The advice
of Benjamin Franklin was, to give
every child trade by which he
could earn a living, This IS a
good and wise COUNSEL, and should
be needed where it is necessary.
There are too many idle boys
seeking easy positions positions
that do not require manual la
Dor. Parents may leave their
children fortunes ; but :'riches take
to themselves wings" You may
give them finished educations, and
they may be gifted with extraor-
dinary genius; but they may be
placed in situations where no edu-
cation and no talent may be so
available as some humble honest
trade, by which they can get their
living and be useful to others.

Mr.. Charles Dickens says that
'sthe first external revelation Of
the dry rot in men is a tendency
to lurk and lounge to be at street

Demorest's Monthly Magazine,
when you will be likely to find
suggestions to help you out of
your difficulty, as 1 must always
do in my own case. Miss Smith,
| you had better think of it," r.,
The result Of this counsel was
that Miss Smith sent in her SUBJ
scription. ...:
| Early one bright Monday morn
ing the good people of Maysville
remarked that a marvellous change
had come over the millinery and
dress-making establishment they
| had of late almost ignored.
"How beautifully you have fitted
up, Miss Smith," said her friend,
who had been invited to take a
iOOh WlCulu.
"I've started anew as branch
Of Nine. Demorest's Emporium of
Fashions, the headquarters of Dem
orest's Monthly. Pm very thank
ful to you for mentioning the Mag
azine to me, for you see it has
helped me out of my trouble"
"How did you prosper asked
the same friend, some time later
in the. month, "dropping in" to
see if Miss Smiths hopes had been
realized. IT,. .-r. - :r....
"Ob, 1 never did so well! Why,
I can work with so much satisfac-
tion to myself and every one of
my customers, and | have such a
variety of beautiful styles that
even the ladies from the city,
boarding hereabouts, find all they
require" ="
Time fitted swiftly by, and
again the sewing circle had met
at Widow Mays.
*"What a vast improvement there
has beer in our village since we
have taken Demorest's Monthly?'
exclaimed Mrs. Brown, during a
pause in the conversation.
"Mrs. Hart, did you take Mrs.
Wells advide and subscribe for the
village papcr?"
eyes, and I must say, it was
just as she said-Mr. Hart and l
have resolved never to do without
it again. He thinks it saves him
a great deal more than his false
notion of economy ever did"
"Tbat is my opinion of the Mag
azine. Besides we are certainly
all brighter, and better, and hap
pier, and wiser through it's influ-
ence. 1t is the general remark.
Thele is now one thing for which
I have a great ambition. That is,
to make up a club large enough to
get, as a premium, an organ for
the church. - / have already set
about it by applying to some OF
my friends. I find I have only to
show copy of the Monthly to
convince them of it's merits. 1t
speaks for itself, and they have
been so enthusiastic in their ap-
probation as to set their names
down upon my list Immediately.
Will any of you aid me ?"
Every voice chimed in assent.
AS women always do when they
have a pet project at heart, they
went to work with will and ener-
gy, and found their task so easy,
that in few days the entire sub
seription was On it's journey to the

Farmers Clubs.

We have read nothing more
directly applicable to our section
at this time than the following.
Although it was written for q
peculiar section of the State Of
Maryland, one would suppose the
writer had taken his cue from the
condition and prospects of the
farminginterests of Western North
Carolina. Why, he even allndes
to the changes Of customs that
must take place when our Railroad
is finished: - r -.,..zs,-.
We have never lost sight of the
! progress ofagricultural knowledge
and improvement, and this is one
of the elements which exercises an
important influence upon local as
we'll as generalindustry. Wehave
always regretted the want of Far
mers' Clubs and Agricultural So
cieties in our country. Every
year should add to their number
and efficiency. The fairs and ex.
hibitions which form some of their
labors hold out inducements to
competitors to aim at higher ex.
cellence, and visits to farms, en-
tered for premium, call forth efforts
to arrange every thing in the best
order, remove unsightly evidence
Of carelessness and turn every
means of cultivation to the best
advantage. And this is not all
the farmer reaps a rich reward in
the additional value ofhis produce,
and a real state ofprosperity is
induced which might not other.
wise have existed. u >T%,S.
There is no rivalry in farming
that is not truly honorable, and
any. discovery that one makes
should be cheerfully impaired TO
another. We know this to be the
oasain- England and France, during
our visit to Europe, having at
tended a meeting at a small town,
(Bletchley, Bedforshire,) where
the usual weekly meeting ofa club
was held, to consider prices, i'm
proyement fstoek, crossing ofthe
various breeds, what each had to
sell, and such other exchanges of
views, as enabled the stranger to
find from one where he could pur-
chase ofanother. Our farmers are
much behind, in this and the ad-
joining counties, and should now
begin to form meetings where they
can discuss what is of general in
terest. Depend npon it, sDhen our
Railroad is finished, many old GUS
toms must change. From New
York, Philadelphia and Baltimore,
we will have demands such as
large cities receive from other sour.
ces, and we know this region will be
expectedto supply many ofthepro-
ducts ofthe husbaDdman, for which
there is no demand il our midst.
Let the farmers clubs be formed.
1t is common protection to all.
Nothing so cheerful as pleasant
neighbors and temper: The club
will promote all this, and q head

display when necessary. During
