Crusoe was greatly alarmed n dap by
seeingthe print of a human foot in the
sand. 1t measured something over four

Small Things.

IRON the Southern Farm and Home.
Il Mr.. EDIToR.-The neglect of what we
are in the habit of calling small matters
Is one of the most fruitful causes of loss
rau our farms, and if failures to secure
Portable competence from agricultural
Butts were traced to their source. nine
des out of ten, we should find that want
attention to matters apparently trivial
-tsthat can be attended to any time
"a all the mischief.
1 will mention flew of them by way of
illustration.
A farmer as he goes along finds a rail
Dr. two fallen off the fence of a wheat or Oat
held. 1t is a little thing that can be at
ended to any time. He is in too great a
hurry to plant or work his cotton to stop
then and put the fallen rails in their
places. He thinks No more about it un-
til he finds that his neighbours cattle, see
ing the low place in the fence, have brok-
en- through and destroyed a promising field
of grain. The small matter then becomes
a very big one, and the loss of a crop de-
monstrates the economy of repairing the
fence when he first saw the defect.
A picket loose in the garden fence or a
board dropped off the gate, is a small
+. thing, which can be attended to any time.
: IS Here, Joe, you tell old Pete the first
good chance he has, to fix the picket and
fasten on the board" Joe forgets all
about it, Pete never fixes or f%astens, and
nothing more is thought about it, until it
is discovered that the SOW and pigs have
got through the fence or under the gate
into the garden, and devoured all the ear
ly vegetables. The loss of green peas, beets,
spinach, cabbage, ETC., isthe biggest kind
of a thing, but neglect of the small thing
directly caused it.
A single off the roof of the house is a
very small matter. The weather is fine
and warm, and before it rains again, if
Joe will tell Pete to get his hammer and
fix it. all will be right. But the rain
comes and it is not fixed. and the water
pours right among wife's best clothes, into
Louisa Maria's new piano, or among the
books and valuable papers, and the mis-
placed shingle-a very small matter
causes a loss of hundreds of dollars.
/ have invariably seen that to men who
a are in the habit of disregarding small
hgs, of attending to them any time !;
IA telling Joe to tell Pete to fix them
Ne first chance he has, jumping cows,
boting hogs, and penetrating rains, al
&ays do the damage. They are always
lgroaning over their misfortunes ,quarreling
with their neighbors, murmurTng at the
seasons, never able to make buckle and
tongue meet, in debt, uncomfortable and
unhappy. To such we recommend the
old proverbs: "a stitch in time saves
nine. Never put off till tomorrow what
can be done to-day. IAN ounce of pre-
~ventive is worth a pound of cure" Look
after the cents and the dollars will look
after themselves" FRANKLIN.

The Editors Good Angel.

GOOD morning, sir, Mr.. Editor, how is
the folks to-day?
I owe you for next years paper, L tho't
I'd come in and pay.
And Jones is a goin' to take it, and this is
his money, here:
1 shut down lendin' it to him, and then
coaxed him to try it a year. n
And here is a few little items that hap
pened last week in our town;
I thought they'd look good for the paper,
and so l just jotted 'em down.
And here is a basket of cherries my wife
picked expressly for you;
And a small bunch of flowers from Jennie
she tho't she must send somethin too.
You're doin' the politics bully, as all of
our family agree;
Just keep your goose-quill a tapping and
give 'em a good one for me.
And now you are chuck full of business,
and l won't be takin' your time; {.
I've things of my own [ must tend to
good day, sir, [ b'lieve | will climb"
The Editor sat in his sanctum and bro't
down his fist with a thump;
"God bless that old farmer" he muttered
he's a regular jolly old trump"
And tits thus with our noble profession.
and thus it will ever be still;
There are some who appreciate its labor.
and some who perhaps never will.
But in the great time that is coming when
aGabriers trump shall sound,
And they who have labored and rested
shall come from the quivering ground
When they who have striven and suffered
to teach and enoble the race,
Shall march at the front of the column
each one in his God-given place,
As they march through the gates of The
City with proud and victorious tread
The editor, printer, and devil, will trave
not far from the head.

True History Of Robinson Crusoe

Robinson Crusoe was born with an ar
dent longing for the sea. Some might
call it a notion of his, but it was an ocean
he was a long time in getting over, if he
ever did get over it entirely. This long
ing for the sea manifested itself at a very
tender age, though it is hard to think of
Robinson as being e rytender at any age.
his career was so tough. When they at
tempted to teach his infant lips to pro-
nounce the letters of the alphabet they
could never get him beyond the letter c.
A. and y went we'll enough, but when he
got on the G there he stuck. a strangely
prophetic indication of what his future life
was to be. When he cried it was on the
C sharp, and when he got a cold his bark
was on the G..
As he grew older he yearned constant
ly to be on the water, to the great disgust
of his father, who was on the whiskey.-
He used to sit for hours at a time on a ca
nal bridge near his fathers door, and as
the boat passed under imagined he was
blowing the mighty deep. 1t was so
much easier than blowing out corn. He
handn't any mast to climb, but in the alb
sence of a mast he would ''climb" a
younger brother, or any ~neighbor's boy
who wasn't quite his size.
But he sighed for other climbs. He
was irresistibly inclined to ramble, SO
much SO that he rambled in his speech,
his ideas being all ahead. When at last
he announced his determination to go for
a sailor, his father endeavored to dissuade
him from it. s.Why," said the old man
with tears in his eyes and a choking voice
..why go for a sailor when there are so
many other people to go for who have
money!"
Then he pointed out the Disadvantages
of life upon the ocean-how he could not
be in early nights. or take long walks
over the hills before breakfast, or 60 bug
gy-riding with the girls (%unless he could
borrow the captains gig), or to go to the
beer gardens Sunday nights, or come y
when it rains, or go squirrel-hunting, or
attend ward meetings. or vote, unless he
happened to be at one or other of the
.Poles," or receive a line from any of his
friends, with the solitary exception of the
E~quinoctial line.
He tried to show how much better of
he we1ld be to pursue some steady en-
ployment at home, if it wasn't anything
more than studying himself by a lamp
post. He pointed out the perils of the
sea-told of the ''old salts" who had been
drowned in it. producing its salty favor.
and of the difficulty a green hand encoun-
tiers IN wading ashore when astorm arises.
He cited as a warning the case of an
other son, who against his fathers warm
ings and expostulations, ran away and en-
listed as a soldier in the Mexican wal,
where he was killed by falling from the
masthead while charging calamity at a
Battery.
Young Crusoe was SO deeply affected
T by his fathers words, that he made up his
little bundle that very night. and ran a.

MASsARD RooFs.-[From Appleton's
Journal. A few years ago the monotonous
style OF roof used in our architecture was
a@recably varied by the introduction Of
what is known as the Mansard roof, some
times called the French attic. The splendid
architectural piles in Paris received some
OF their best graces OF expression from the
handsome sky-lineS the Mansard roof gave
them, and almost every American travelling
abroad wondered why so graceful 4 ROOF
could not lie adopted in our American cities,
where the large buildings usually termina-
ted with an abrupt, sharp, and unpictu-
rescue skyline. The Mansard roof, after Il
time, was introduced, and its peculiar
beauty soon made it very popular. But like
all fashions which become the rage, and
which are adopted by people imitatively
without perception of the principle that gov
ems them, the French attic has become
with us an architectural infection. The
Mansard roof was designed for tall build
ings. Its special purpose is to break the
monotony OF L massive pile, and to reduce
in appearance its height. A structure that
would seem awkwardly tall, with an unva-
lied succession of stories, has not only by
means Of the Mansard roof a more grace
tul caption, but attains more agreeable pro-
portions. The specific purpose OF this
roof being recognized, the abSurdity OF its
use in small buildings become at once APP
parent. our builders, however, seem to
lack all power of perception, and to have
reduced the art of architecture to ndls-
crminatc limitations. Everywhere now the
Mansard roof confronts us: Every new
cottage on the roadside, new cheap villas
in those extcmporlzed villages that line
our metropolitan railways, new public
buildings Of every sort and degree, rail-
road stations all over the country-cvery-
thing of the kind now, no matter if only 4
story high, must lave its Mansard roof,
with entire disregard of fitness or pro-
pricty. 1t is cXa>perating to sec good
idea thus dragged into absurd and ignoble
uses. As we at first hailed with pleasure
the appearance of the Mansard roof, we
shall now look with hope for the signs that
will indicate the termination of its career.
And yet, whatever may follow it will have
to go the same experience. 1t is our
natural way to try to appropriate big
things for every little purpose.
