When ".Old Rockingham as the
master was called, had sent Jim and
Abagail to their seats. Ike ran to the
window ami looked out very anxiously.
What are you looking at. Isaac?

witL the ide that he was monarch OF
all he surveyed, and occasionally
thrashing a boy for putting chews Of to-

books away, slipped his hat under his
coat. and slipped out of the room. We
all supposed that he was going rabbit
hunting, as there vas good tracking

W, istled in at crack. and set the
whole school to laughing. The teacher
looked around to see who WINS out, but
failed to detect an empty seat. No one
would tell on Mack, SO the teacher had
to give it up, Mack was determined to
have some fun; 80 he kept on whistling.
Presently, the teacl er finished the sum
that he was working, took down his rod
and started for the door, as mad as a
hornet. He wa. always under obliga-
tons to whip somebody when he got in
one of these pets, and he was going to
whip somebody then, whether they
were guilty or not.
As soon as he got outside the door, we
told Mack that he was coming. Mack
started down the hill as fast as he coul,l
go, leaping over logs aud rocks, and

PEOPLE WILL TALK.

You may get through the world, but twill bt
very slow,
If you listen to all that IS said as you go,
You'll be worried, and fretted, and kept in q
stew,
For meddlesone tongues will hare something
For people will talk.
If quiet and modest, you'll have it presumed
That your humble position is only assumed;
You re wolfin sleeps clothing, or else your II
fool,
But don't be excited, keep perfectly cool,
Forpeople will talk.
If generess and noble they'll vent oat their
spleen,
You'll hear some loud hiats that you're selfish
and mean,
Ifzpright, honest and fair as the day
They II call you rogue in sly, sneaking way;
For people will talk.
Aud tten, if you show the least boldaess Of
heart,
They will call you an upstart conceited and
But keep straight ahead, don't stop to explain,
For people will talk.
If threadbare your dress, or old fashioned
your hat,
Some one will surely take notice of that,
And hint rather strong that you CAM pay your
way;
But don't get excited, whgtsysr they sat,
For people Will talk.
If you dress in the fashion don't think to es-
cape
For they criticise then in O different shape;
You're head of your means, or your tailor's
unpaid;
But mind your own business, there's naught
to be made,
For people will talk.
Now the best way to do, is to do as you please,
For your mind, if you have one, will then be
at ease,
lOf course you will meet with all sorts of abuse,

"WHIsKEY HAS Used HIM UP. There

from Maine to Oregon, where this saying
is not used almost every ,daysin thsyear
and altogether too truly A. subjsct Of
of ttis kind is to be found in almost every

What is High Farmingi

vt is system Of tillage and farm man
agement that is sc! !f-sustaining-s system
that takes nothing but the bare land. the
domestic animals, the farm implements.
and machinery, and cultivates the soil.

the annual taxes. defrays the expenses
incident to the improvements that must be
made on the farm. cancels the annual in
terest on the money invested in the land.
eventually pays for the land; al from the
products of the soil cultivated; and one,
two. or three decades Of years leaves
every acre in far better state of fertility
than the soil was in at the beginniog.-
This is high farming. There are untufd
numbers of quiet, unobtrusive tillers Of
the soil in many of our States. who have
commenced precisely as we have indicated.
without one dollar Of cash capital; who
have had no revenue whatever besides the
national resources Of their cultivated fields,
and who have by hard work and judicious
management, sustained their families. paid
for their land. erected all their. buildings,
paid for all their valuable improvements,
and at the same time brought their land
up to that state Of productiveness. by their
judicious management. that every acre
now yields from two to three tons Of hay
where ouly one was originally gathered.
and they harvest nearly two bushels lin
macy instances more than two-of cereal
grain where. the product was but one
bushel. That is high tarnsing. Yet such
q system of husbandry is usually sneered
at simply because the proprietor knew how
to save his money to defray the expenses
Of improvements, rather than spend three
times more than he made.

Motives.

Men do not study motives as they
should; they see acts performed. or hear
words uttered and pass judgment hastily
and inconsiderately. It gratifes pecu.
liar trait in some people thus to critisise
those with wbouH they are associated. af
if they occupied higher standard than
the majority Of mankind, and the divine
|precept, Judge not lest yc be judged
had not been written for them.
In order to form correct estimates oi
character, we must learn what influence
formed it. But. above all, no one can
act the critic of men unless he under
stands human nature. The best of mo-
tives are often misunderstood through iR-
norance of this point. Many have been
the deeds performed. originating in kind
ness of heart. for purely kind intentions.
that have been received in the most un-
friendly and abusive manner. Yes, often
has the recipient Of such favors held up to
the ridicule Of the unfeeling world the very
person whose life would have been staked
for his honor and welfare.
The worst of motives, on the other
hand. are often clothed in words and acts
of "specious seeming" which remind one
of the wolf in sleeps clothing. People
thus actuated wish to appear what they
are not. Their very existence is lie.
Sooner trust gruff outspoken man.
than one whose every uttersnce Is studied
by policy. and whose every act.is weighed
by selfish interest. With the former you
deal with facts. In bis presence you are
at home aud at your case. You meet bis
genial countenance, and it commands
your confidence and esteem; and when
he speaks. you know bis words-uncouth.
perhaps-come from his heart!
With the latter we feel chilling SEN
sation creep over Us at once. He grasps
your hand mechanically. guards his words
carefully. hsudles them a. the commander
does his forces. directly with some objec,
in view. He knows no genuine sympa-
thy. for he has no heart with. which to
sympathize; is susceptible to no kindly
emotion. for his is not . world Of kind
ness and sensibility.
Diversity. however. u The law Of ns-
ture, manifest in all her works; in land

from the lower orders through the sdvsuc-
ing scales upward to men. And it is this
diversity that lends charm to existence.
While we love our native hills and their
surroundings. we admire the picturesque
scenery that meets the eye abroad. And
we would not always see1just the same
order of vegetable and animal life. It is
when we classify them-learn what forces
made the mountains, the valleys and the
cataracts. what instincts govern the ami
NAL tribes. and above all, what influences.
customs. habits and aspirations actuate
men in their dealings and intercourse with
each other-then do we truly realize the
grandeur and wisdom of creation.
