To Young Ladies.

1
Young ladies, ii you wish to be
happy and centented after the
marriage ceremony and honey
moon are over, I would suggest |
the following:
Do not choose q lazy man; do |
not fall in love with a moustaehe,
neither with a hat, neither fash
ionably cut trousers, nor blacken-
ed boots, orepomaded and artii-
cially curled hair; neither look
upon graceful dancing and horse
back riding-no indeed for with
| the above Observation-Disclosures
OF, nowadays called, a fast young
man, you would not be able, with
the best culinary skill, to cook a
meal of victuals with it. But, if
a young man comes to ask you
for your heart and hand, inquire
if he is a skillful artisan, Or thrifty
industrious farmer who is up early
and late, and rather do his own
work and loves to do it, than to
complain of hard times; or, if be
understands to manage his fortune
if he has any, or has he the abili
ty to acquire one; ask him if he
thinks there are six days in the
week to work, and il he improves
them, and then one Sunday to
rest on, to praise the Lord and GO
to meeting-if so, and You can
otherwise love him, take him, for
he is sure to provide for you.
But, if he is one of them who
loaf about half, and more thar
l. half the time, dressed in fashiona
bly, cut garments, afraid to work
for fear Of soiling his clothes, al
d ways thirsty, and who has the
sixth commandment seven time!

SELF CONTROL.-The man who
is not self-controlled is a slave to
his passions; and of all task-mas-
tiers they are the mostcruel. They
estrange his friends, irritate his
enemies, blind him to a percep-
ton of his interests, and, drag
him socially, morally and intel
lectually, into depths from which
he may never hope to- rise. When
the world is in the mood to be
conciliated, and influenced &C
cordingly, he is suffering from
wounded vanity or insulted pride
or is III the pursuit OF some pure.
y selfish scheme, and can neither
see what the world wants. nor
minister to that want-eonsequent-
", when ne demands favor of
that world be is refused; having
invested nothing therein he can
araw nothing theretr0m. Where
occasion comes Tor energy, pur-
pose, calmnesS and self-abnega-
ton, he is tho man; be is either
chained to some BOnsensical rock
OF prejudice or confused by some
bnzzing insect or fancy, so that
he has not sufficient control OF
faculties to make them do the
work that is required of them.

Bad Luck.

This general term for bad man
agement should be abolished there
is no such thing as bad luck in the
sci Sc in which it is used. There are
accidents which no common good
care could prevent, but there are
few ills attending crops, live stock,
or tide disposal of the same, which
can not be easily traced to bad man
agement. For instance, a field of
corn turns out so bad in quantity
that the owner says he has chad
shocking bad luck With it this year :"
but on inquiry it will be found that
he was at work at something which
he might have done month earlier,
when he ought to have planted it
that his manure was raw, having
been taken from heap which had
never been turned over, and other
peoples corn was up and looking
well when his was put in the ground.
His lambs die without any apparent
cause, many of the ewes having
done the same previous to weaving
time; but these sheep were shut in
close quarters most of the winter,
eating dusty and hard hay, without
any roots, bran or grain to strength,
en- them and enable their stomachs
to digest. His COWS have been mis-
carrying, and those having gone
their full time give little milk, so
that he has very "bad luck" with
them too; it will be found on in
vestigation that these poor animals
lived on mouldy cornstalks the first
part of the winter, chopped up and
wet, so thet they could not pick out
any which happened to be not quite
so bad as the rest; then, just as alb
ortion commenced. some hay was
given to them, which was full of
weeds-all of it, timothy, clover
and weeds, in seed the clover quite
black, and the stems Of all cracking
like brushwood when moved about.
Bushels of seed were knocked out in
hay making, many more bushels
scattered about in loading and un-
loading, while the rest sheds out
and mixes with the few leaves left
to rub off the stems, in being forked
over from the NOV to the man
gers.
