FARM AND PRESIDE.

HIGH FARMING. 1t Pay? We

farm papers, in the American Agriculturist,
as they contain a valuable hint to farmers:
| In the November number of these papers

facts as I understood them, and as nearly
accurate as could make them without pry"
ing too closely into other peoples business.
If anybody thinks it nice work to write fer
an agricultural paper, I would be glad if he
had written this statement. 1t would have
cured him. I have had letters about it
from all parts of the country. No one has
told me [ lied, but some have evidently
suspected it; many have considered me de-
ceived, and many more have asked for the
minute details of my neighbours manage
ment At last, in pure self-defense, l call
ed on him and told him my troubles. He
frankly said that he had no objection to my
knowing and printing the whole story. He
naturally objects to having his name pub
lished, but it will be given to any one who
desires it from other motives than curiosity.
To begin with, then, his farm contains
not % acres-only little more than 26.-
1t is part of his business to buy and sell
COWS. so that his stock is constantly varying.

twenty-five or twenty-six. Money made

soiling. He evidently thought that it was
better, but he has never tried soiling. Af
ter going over the whole ground in detail,
he gave me the following statement of his
actual cash sales for the year 1870. He
bought some grain and hired some pasture
enough, on fair calculation, to balance
the cost of keeping his teams at home, so
that these sales are to be taken as covering
the whole produce of a little more than rs
acres of land.

The GENTLEMAN.-It is no very uncom-
mon thing in the world to meet with men of
probity; there are great many men of
honor to be found. Men of courage, men
OF letters are frequent; but true gentle
man is what one seldom sees. He is pro-
perly compound of The various good quail
ties that embelish mankind. As the great
poet animates all the different parts of learn
ing by the force of his genius, and irradiatea
all the compass Of his knowledge by the lus-
ter and brightness of his magination, so all
the great and solid perfeotions of life appear
in the finished gentleman everything he
says or does is accompanied with manner or
rather charm, that ELECTS the admiration
and good will of everybody.

ANEoDoTE OF A. H. STRvENs.-A story

. In the political canvass of 1855 be was
accompanied by a shaggy dog, named Rio,
that became as we'll known as himself. In
Columbia county he met General H. r.
Wright in debate, and worsted him. To
postpone the defeat Wright cried out:
II demand list Of your appointments,
Sir! I'll get my documents. and meet you
at every place, Sir /! Yes Sir, I'll dog you
all over this district ~
Stephens pointed to the sleeping Rio by
his side, and said
"Then Til send Rio home. One doq at
a time is enough"
Wright sat down.

Poetry,
Alice Cary's Sweetest Poem.

Of all the beautiful pictures
That hang on Memory's WALL
Is one of dim old forest,
That seemeth best of all;
Not for its gnarled oaks olden,
Dark with the nlistletoe
Not for the violets golden
That sprinkle the vale below;
Not for the milk-white lilies
That lean from the fragrant hedge,
Coquetting all day with the sunbeams,
And stealing their golden edge,
Not for the vines on the upland
Where the bright red berries rest;
Nor the pinks, nor the pale sweet cowslip-
1t seemeth to me the best.
Ionce had little brother
With eyes that are dark and deep
In the lap of that olden forest ...3
He lieth in peace asleep;
Light as the down of the thistle,
Free as the winds that blow, A
We roved where the beautiful Summers.
The Summers of long ago; M
, But his feet on the hill grew weary,
And one of the autumn ever,
made for my little brother
A bed Of the yellow leaves.
Sweetly his pale arms folded
My neck in a meek embrace,
AS the light Of immortal beauty
Silently covered his face;
And when the arrows of sunset
Lodged in the tree-tops bright
He fell, in his saint-like beauty,
Asleep by the gates of light.
Therefore, of all the pictures
That hang on Memory's wall,
The one of the dim old forest,
Seemeth best of all.

A Home.

If we were to tell number of our friends
that they don't know what ''home" is,
they would grow somewhat indignant per.
haps use hard words. And yet it may be
remarked that the number of persons who
know what genuine home is, by expert
ence, is surprisingly few. One man in good
circumstances will tell us that he has fine
house Of his own, in which every comfort
and convenience are provided. He has a
wife and children there also, and they give
life to the place. Very true. But does he
prefer that home, thus furnished and thus
enlivened, to every other place in the world |!
Does he sigh when the hour for leaving
comes. and smile when he is permitted to
return !? Does he love to sit by the cheerful
fire and fondle the children, entering into all
their little disputes with curious interest p
Does he take particular note of the bird in
the cage, and the cat near the fire? If not,
he has no home, in the dearest sense of that
dearest of words. If his mind is altogether
absorbed in the dusty ways Of business, if
he hurries from the house in the morning,
and is 10th to return at night-if, while he
is at home, he continues to think of the
journal and ledger, and repulses the advan-
ces of the prattling children, he has no
home; he only has place where he lodges
and takes his meals
All happy is he who knows and appre-
ciates the full bliss of home, whose heart is
warmed and humanized by its cheerful in
fuences, and who feels how superior in pu-
rity Of pleasure are all its enjoyments to the
turmoil delights of outdoor life. Thrice
happy is such man. H. has discovered
the only Paradise this world can now afford.
1t is only such man who can have a deep
and sincere pity for the unfortunate creatures
who are homeless. He regards them as be-
ing cut off from the best influences of the
earth, and exposed to the action of all the
darker waves of life He feels keenly for
him who has no freside-no dear one to
welcome him with smiles, and prattle over
the little history of the day-no tongue to
soothe when heavy cares have troubled the
mind and rendered the heart sore and the
sympathy of such man is not slow to over
flow in acts of benevolence. A good home
is the source of the fountain of charity in
the heart.
Our advice to those who have no homes.
such as we have described above, is to get
them as soon as possible. They can never
be contented and substantial citizens, nor
thoroughly happy men, until they follow
this council. Get homes Fill them with
the objects of love and endearment, and
seek there for the pure delights which the
world beside cannot afford.

PoL1rENEss Politeness is capital which
pas better than any other investment
known 1t can be acquired by any one
without cost and without price, and when
properly expended pays most extravagant
interest. It is surprising, therefore, that
any one should fail to acquire some of
the stock. Strange as it is, however. it is
nevertheless true and people are every day
seen who have not the smallest amount of it.
They are rough, uncouth, unmindful of the
feelings Of others, and devoid of true friends.
But to the polite person, no matter what his
faults may be. degree Of forbearance is ao-
corded while his popularity is such as to se-
cure to him scores of friends and admirers.
This being true and patent to all, we won
der why any one should negle It to be polite
and courteous tc all his fellow-beings on any
and on all occasions
