Farmers complain that their sons do not
take to tie profession Of their fathers kindly,
but that very large per cent, Of them drift
into the cities, and follow other occupations.
this is true, and the fault is, in half the cas-
es, with the farmers themselves. The rea-
son for this is that the American farmers is
too much oppressed with the spirit of money
getting to make life pleasant. We know OF
thousands who have broad acres, immense
houses, cattle, sheep and swine, and who, IN
addition to.these treasures, have their thousands
and tens of thousands in government bonds,
or in mortgages, who live in style far infe-
rior to that of the hnmblest mechanic in the
towns. Their houses are built not to crafty
taste, or to yield pleasure to their inmates,
but solely with an eye to convenience; the
floors are uncarpeted, the windows are shades
less; there are no books, no papers save one
for market reports, no good cherry furniture.
no piano or melodeon, no nothing to make
life pleasant. Outside the same barren. hard
appearance ismanifest. Flowers are tabooed.
there are no ornamental trees, the barn IL as
severe in style as rigid economy can make it;
in short, everything is subservient to the one
idea-proft.
Is it any wonder that the boy born and
reared amid such surroundings desires some
thing better, so soon as he discovers that there
is something better? Is it any wonder that,
seeing in towns, Injuries, beauty and taste,
he faucies mercantile or professional pursuits
must be better to afford these things? Is II
any wonder that, after living month among
pleasant things that he should imbibe q dis
taste to the farm Of his father, and the hard,
close life led upon it?
We wish to be understood. The farmer
who has debts on his hands, or whose farm
lacks necessary Improvements, has no busi-
ness with any Of this. Much better hare
floors and walls than mortgages. But in
middle life, when the farm is paid for and
stocked, when there is money at interest, and
the chances for failure have all been passed.
the farmer who does not add to his house ell
these things is foolish indeed. There should
be in every such farm house as good fnrni-
ture, as good carpets, as good piano, and as
good library as any townsman worth an
equal emount possesses; the sors and daugh-
tiers should be we'll educated, not that they
may leave the farm, but that they may make
farm life pleasant and happy. There should
be just as good society, and as much of it, in
the country as in the town. The social in
stincts inherent in all should be cultivated;
there should be music, there should be reads
ing, there should be discussions, in short,
whatever men Of means find to amuse and inn
prove themselves in towns men of means in
the country should find and practice.
When all this is dore farmers sons will
seldom leave the hoblest of all professions,
for with these additions farming is the most
pleasant life that can be led; and for the same
reason farmers daughters will prefer to mar
ry farmers sons, but not till then.-Ameri-
can Farm Journal.

Whnt will He BECOME.

This question is often asked by parents 10
regard to their sons, and by the friends Of
many young men. And, although there is
no definite rule for ascertairihg, we may get
some idea of what young man will become
by observing his actions and works.
Solomon said, many centuries ago, that
'even a child is known by his work. whether
it be good or whether it be evil" Therefore,
when you see a boy slow to 60 to school, in.
different about learning, and glad of every
opportunity to neglect his lessons, YOU may
take it for granted tina; be i'll he a blockhead.
When you boy anxious TO spend mon
ey, and who spends every cent ms soon as he
gets it, you may know that he will be spend
thrift
When you see boy boarding up bis pens
MES, and unwilling to part with them for any
good purpose, you may set it down that be
will be miser.
When you see little boy willing to taste
strong drink, you may rightly suppose that
he will become drnnkdrd.
When boy is disrespectful to his parents,
dsobedient to his teacher. and unkind to his
friends and 2laymates. it is a sign that he
will never be of much account.
When you see boy looking out for him.
self and unwilling to share good things with
others, it is sign that he will grow up self
ish man.
When you hear boy using profane Ian
guage, You may takeit for sign that he win
become wicked and profigate man.
When you see boys rude to each other, you
may know they will become disagreeable linen.
When you see boys pouting and grumb-
ling, when told to do anything, and always
displeased when they have any work to per-
form, it is sign that they will be good-for-
nothing men.
But when you see boys that are kind and
obliging to each other, obedient and respect
full to their parents. attentive to their studies
and duties, it is sign that they will become
good and useful men.
When your see boy that loves his Bible,
and is well acquainted with it, it is q sign Of
great future blessing from Almighty God.
When you see boy that stays away from
theatres, grog-sbops, bathrooms and gamb-
ling houses, it is sign that he will grow up
a man in principle. knowledge and goodness.
When you see boy practicing the virtues
of morality and Christianity you may know
that he will become an honor to himself and
family, useful to his country, and the glory
of his Maker.
Although great changes sometimes take
place in the character, these signs. as gen.
eral rule, hold good.

NEW REMEDIES for BuRNs.-Two new re-
NEEDLES for burns are added to the long list.
The first is charcoal. A piece Of vegetable
charcoal laid on burn at once soothes the
pain, says the Gazette Nedicdle, and if kept
applied for an hour cures it completely. The
second one is sulphate of iron. This was
tried by n. Joel. in the Children's Hospital,
Lausanne. In this case, child, four years
of age, had been extensively burnt, snppura-
ton was abundant and so offensive that they
ordered the child q tepid bath, containing
couple of pinches Of snlphate Of iron. This
gave immediate relief to the pain, and being
repeated twice day-twenty minutes each
bath--the suppura,ion decreased. lost is

The following method of keeping milk fresh
for long time is said to be extensively prac-
ticed in the vicinity of Paris. 1t consists
merely in adding to each quart of fresh milk.
before the cream has risen upon is about six
grains ef bicarhonate of soda or potash, and
then placing the milk in bottles. which are
to be tightly carked for four hours, in wa
ter bath heated TO temperature of about 100
degrees, taking care not to go beyond that
limit. When the bottles are removed from
the bath, they are to be made perfectly tight
BY coating the cork with wax, and the milk
can then be kept long time unchanged.
