A certain bootmaker in Springfield,

another young miss, and horse and

horse made, and then lay down, eat

THE WORLD Grows BETrER-AND
WHY?-Although as yet there are no
indications of that cordial friendship
between the lion and the lamb which
is to be the type, and evidence of uni
versal peace aud good will, it must
be admitted that the enlightened por-
ton of the human race becomes more
humane and merciful with every pass
ing year. We owe this improvement
to the practical application of the di-
vine eprecepts of Christianity to the
affairs of life. Our noble charities,
our sanitary institutions, the abolition
of Imprisonment for debt, the limita-
,tion of the death penalty to the most
atrocious crimes, our laws for the pro-
lection of human life, and the penal
ties exacted from those who leopard
ize it, by neglect or criminal careless
ness, go to! show that the golden rule,
g Do to- Others. as you would they
should do to you," is rapidly gaining
ground as principle of government
tai economy and social action.

THE FARMER -oN THE sATE sTot

THE FARMER .oN THE SAFE SIDE.
1.-The farmer is apt to think the pro-
fesslonal man or the merchant lives
an easy and luxurious life. In many
instances their families may do so,
but with the eminent or successful
man of law or science, the artisan or
merchant himself, such supposition
is great mistake. There is not un-
der heavens broad canopy a more la
borious class than this. Labor of
body and of mind are theirs, and that
incessant. See them early and late,
in season and out of season., their
whole energies devoted to their sew.
,elal callings without rest or intermis1
sion, and far too fire Iuently to the pre-
mature wasting of life itself, It is nd
wonder such Industry, directed byy
good education (and by this term ed
ucation l mean the entire training of
the boy to manhood, in its most ex-
tended sense) and stimulated by a
laudable ambition, should lead to sue
cess. Yet with all these appliances
the labors of such men are often dis
astrous and if not SO, after life of
anxiety their tolls frequently end
with but the means of a. slender sup
port, Compared with these, the tolls
of the farmer are light. Physical la
Dor he endures, is is true, and often
times severe labor, but his mind is
easy. He enjoys sound rest and good
health. He has much leisure, and in
many cases more than is for his good.
He has abundant time to dissuss poll
tics, law, religion--everything, in fact,
that may interest or profit him.-Ec:

the waist. Men like to" see small
waist certainly, but there is a very
great difference, between the waist
that is well formed and in proportion
to the rest of the figure. and a waist
which is obviously and artificially
compressed, toitheidestruction of that
easy and graceful carriage, which is
one of the chief charms OF a woman's
