The great popularity achieved by Marion Har-
land as writer Of fiction will insure most corr
dial reception for this volume. 1t is a summary
OF many years practical experience In her own
home; and her yellow Housekeepers, North,
East South, and West, win everywhere welcome
it as a handbook of Domestic Economy and a
guide to proper management of their own homes
1t is written with that ease only acquired by long
practice as writer, and the work throughout is
inspired by that purpose which has been the
uniform aim and the secret of the success of all of
Marion Harland's writings-to show the dignity
of needful labor, and the beauty, grace, and
sacredness of what is called Common Life" as
it is developed in our American homes.

How TO KEEP A SITUATfoN.-'.'ho
following bit of good advice is from
the Working Alan, and is worthy the
attention of all our readers;
Lay it down as foundation rule.
that you will be "faithful in that which
is least Pick up the loose nails, bits
oftwine, clean wrapping paper, and put
them in their places. Be ready to
throw in an odd half hour or hours
time, when it will be an accommodate
ton, and don't seem to make a merit Of
it. DO it heartily. Though not q
word be said, be sure your employer
will make note Of it. Make yourself
indispensable to him, and he will looe
many of the opposite kind before he
will part with you.
Those young men who watch the time
to see the very second their working
hour is up-who leave, no matter what
state the work may be in, at precisely
the instant-who calculate the extra
amount they can slight their work, and
yet not get reproved- who are lavish
of their employers goods; will always
be the first to receive notice that times
are dull, and their services are no lon.

same time exhausling yonr land. The
means at hand for this are abundant,
and consists Of rest, rotation and ma>
nure. To have manure we must have
stock. Therefore, again, ''to make
the farm pay" we must raise an
abundance Of stock. To raise them
proftably, we must raise a diversity
of products to give them suitable food.
Among the numerous products may
be mentioned corn, oats, rye, barley,
peas, peanuts, potatoes, pumpkins,
cotton seed, sorghum seed and grass
for hay and pasture.
| know that many contend that the
grasses will not grow here, when our
crops are often ruined with grass.
Very probable the Northern and Eng
lish may not succeed well here, but we
have at least two hundred different
varieties Of grasses to choose from.
But | know that clover, timothy and
herds grass have succeeded here. Grab
grass makes hay equal to either, 50 do
peas. "To make the farm pay" we
must raise every thing to which our
climate is adapted, unless we can eco-
nomically dispense with their use.
When we do as above indicated, we
will become a prosperous and indePen-
dent people, and it applies equally as
well individually as collectively.

HOW TO MAKE THE FARM PAY.
1t is quite an evident fact, that the
present system of farming in South
western Arkansas is losing business.
The present system might do tolerable
well with cotton at twenty-five cents,
but at ten cents it proves disastrous
business. The fault is not in climate
or soil, for we have as good if not the
best in the world.
Farming is satisfactorily rcmunera-
tive in many other countries; why can
it not be with Us? | think it can. 1t
is not reasonable to suppose that the
Almighty has made our country an
exception to agricultural prosperity.
Then what is the matter? | think |
can solve the question. The fault is
within ourselves, and the fault Is, the
want Of diversity Gf products. We de-
pend too much upon two staples
cotton and corn. All of our corn is
required to feed work stock and few
h,gs. All of our cotton is required to
pay expenses and buy necessaries of
life. Corn alone, as food for stock, is
uuhealthful and expensive. The corn
required to raise AMI fatten hog. at
present prices, would likely buy the
amount of pork the hog would make.
Yet how many follow this plan Of rails
iny their own meat. Some have found
out that there is nothing gained by it,
anl have unwiseiy colclulel they
cDlId raise cotton AMI buy meat cheap
er than to raise it. 1t is quite true,
when we dcpcnl upon corn alone for
the purpose. Oar dependence upon
cotton to buy many things we can and
should raise, has caused an over pro-
duction of cotton, aal consequently
low prices, whilst many neccssarics that
have to be purchased command their
former prices.
Diversiication of products present
more advantages 10 farmers than many
are aware Of. First, the chances for
over-production are lesscned, better
demand, and we know that demand
govern prices. Second, labor can ac-
complish a good deal more by increase
of area cultivated, therefore a greater
amount of produce. Third, we are
enabled to adopt smooth rotation of
crops, thereby cheekmltiny the ex,
haustion of the soil. Fourth, the
planting, cultivating and harvesting
of the different crops coming on at
different seasons Of the year, enables
the farmer to attend to all in due time,
and thereby sustain no injury from
lack of quality or quantity. Fifth,
we are enabled to raise stock proiitably.
"To make the farm pay" we must
keep up its fertility. There is nothing
gained by growing crops aad 1t the

FUNNY TALK AEotrT BABIES.

FUNNY TALK ABOUT BABIES
We love little babies, and love every>
body who does love babies. No man
has music in his soul who don't love
babies. Babies we.c made to be loved.
especially girl babies, when they grow
up. A man isn't worth a shuck who
hasn't baby, and the same rule ap-
plies to a woman. A baby is a spring
day in winter, and if it is healthy and
good natured, and you're sure it's
yours, it is bushel of sunshine, no
matter how cold the weather. A man
cannot be hopeless as long as he loves
babies one at time. We love babies,
no matter how dirty they are.
Babies are born to be dirty.
We love babies because they are
babies, and because their mothers were
lovable and lovely women. Our love
for babies is only bounded by the num-
Der of babies in the world. We always
look for babies; we do. We always
have sorrowful feelings for mothers
that have no babies and don't expect
any.
Women always look down-hearted
who have no babies, and men who have
no babies always gamble, and drink
whisky, and stay out at night trying to
get music in their souls: but they can't
come it. Babies are babies, and moth
ing can take their places. Pianos play
out, and good living plays out, and
beauty plays out, unless there's baby
in the house. We've tried it; we know
and we say there's nothing like baby.
Babies are like prolific subject, and
we intend to talk more about the ba.
bies in future. Chicago Tribune.

Coop TEMPER The great moral
lubricator which makes everything in
human life run without friction, is good
temper. As soon as this is exhausted,
the journpls OF the human machine
begin to heat, and wear, and screech,
and the entire mechanism becomes
noisy aud ruinously wasteful Of pow,r.
"The horse that frets, is the horse
that sweats," is an old saying Of horse-
men, and it is just as true of men as
Of horses. The man that allows him.
self to get irritated at every little thing
that goes amiss in bis business, or in
the ordinary affairs of life, is a man
for whom bile and dyspepsia have a
particular fondness, and for whom
children have a particular aversion.
He is a man with a perpetual thorn in
his flesh, which prlcks and wounds at
the slightest movement; a man for
whom life has little pleasure, and the
future small hope.
10 "keep jolly" under all provoca>
tions, is perhaps task which only
Dickens Mark Tapley could perform.
We never have met Mark Taplcy in
our experience of human nature, but
we have seen him closely approXimatcd,
and it would be well if people in general
could approach more nearly that inimi-
table character.
In all the phases, emergencies, and
occupations of human life, good temper
is a commodity for which there is great
demand; but in those which bring an
individual into daily contact with many
others, it is perhaps in greatest demand
and most limited supply.

The sentimental creature who calls
herself Mrs. Petil rIe,King Bowen, and
who gushed so profusely when the man
she claims marital interest in was SEN
fenced to the peni!entiary, is said to
have been a grandmother long before
she picked up that peice Of damaged
humanity, and is twelve or fifteen years
older than he. All of which tends
rather to take the pathos out of that
affecting court scene.
