Happiness.


Man, thou doss seek
For hAppnessl 1t is the prize all run
For, but few win. rhou thinkest power and place,
Emolument and fame, will bring sweet peace,
To ait like tender, brooding doves upon
The quivering chords of being, ut the poos
OF life, full sure.
How vain. Thou'rt passing BY
Thy choicest blessings daily. for the boon
Of youth Is swiftly fading, and twill not
Return; but when successes crown thy path.
Thoult look to see something beautiful,
A something buoyant, gone, forever gonei
The strong, high health that bids the life tide ia N
And circle In thy veins, give place to pain,
And WEAKNESS, and slow decay. Thou'lt 6nd
The good thou long hast coveted, phantom
shaped, will lure thee on, still on, without the
Promised rest Thoult see thy friends fade too,
from
Out the dust and strife thy yearning heart aud
Quickeneu sense will realize how treasures
Once possessed, grow dearer, brighter, when the
Hillside marble CLEANS above the pulseless
Form.
Conteutment is the key to peace the
Corner stone of all abiding joy in
This fral sbadowy temple round vs. built.
I've heard sermon, not in arching dome
By human hands upreared, but meath the blue
Of day serene not in thrilling tones
Of oratory grand, but In n still
And solemn utterance; gratitude for
Mercies daily given, the text its reward
Sweet peace of mind Then il tho hopes reach Ger
To tread the infinite, to walk the great
Hereafter with the souls made perfect; all
Of happiness vouchsafed to man will be
Bestowed; enough to kind him here
And ct him for a better life on high.

Repairs Oh the Farm.

The Journal Of agriculture contains
valuable hints upon subject which is Of
great interest to every farmer-the re.
pairs on the farm.
These ordinarily cost more than most
farmers would be willing to admit, and in
many cases three times as much as they
need to, for the reason that the team is
stopped, and hand sent to the mechan-
ic, several miles away, to get little job
done that any farmer of ordinary ingenu-
ity could do in half the time the messen.
ger is gone to the mechanics if he had a
few tools, and little of the proper kind
of material
The thrifty farmer will always lay
aside pieces of timber of different kinds,
to be used for repairs. These he often
finds in his woodpie, and he lays them
up where he can get them or send boy
for them at any time. lie will also have
box Of screws Of different sizes, with a
good screw driver and several gimblets
That first and last of all carpenters tools,
the drawing-knife, will be at hand also
a little box Of different sized bolts, with
nuts and washers to match; brace and
a good set of augur bits, from : to /, and
three augers, inch, Il and . inch.
These, with handsaw, make very re-
spectacle kit for farmer and if he has
any skill at all in using them, he will
sometimes save much more than the cost
Of them in few months.
Let every farmer who has ever been
accustomed to run to a shop for every lit
tie repair, supply himself with such things
as we have named, and do his own re-
pairing, and ne will be agreeably sur
prised in the difference in their mechan-
les bills.
Then there are the harnesses. II the
farmer uses several Of them, he can save
several dollars in the course of the year
by having on hand two or three avis, a
shoe knife, ball OF shoe thread and a
ball Of wax, all of which will cost less
than dollar and will last several years.
