How TO MAKE FARM LIFE AT
TRACTIvE.-1. By less hard work.
Farmers often undertake more than
they can do well, and consequently
work too early and too late.
2. By more system. Farmers should
have time to begin and stop labor.
They should put more mind and ma.
chinery into their work. They should
theorize as we'll as practice, and let
both go together. Farming is healthy,
moral, and respectable; and, in the
long run, made profitable. The farmers
should keep good stock, and out OF
debt. 80
8. By taking care of health. Farmers
have healthy variety of exercise, but
too often neglect cleanliness, eat irreg'
ularly and hurriedly, and expose them
selves needlessiy to cold.
4. By adorning the home. Books,
papers, pictures, music, and reading,
should all be brought to bear upon the
indoor family entertainments; and
neatness and comfort, order, shrubbery
flowers, and fruits, should harmOnize
all without. There would be fewer de:
sertiOns of old homesteads if pains ere
taken to make them agreeable. Ease,
order, health, and beauty, are compati.
BILE with farm life and were ordained
to go with it. .!...s

LIVING BEYOND THEIR MEANS
Bulwer says property is only an idea,
in nine cases out of ten. Some men,
with $4,000 a year, suffer more for
want of means than others with $500.
The reason is, the rich man has artif-
cial wants. His income is $4,000 a
year, and he suffers enough by being
dunned for unpaid debts to kill a sensi-
tive man. A woman who earns dollar
a day and does not go in debt, is the
happier of the two. Very few people
who have never been rich will believe
this; but it is true. There are thousands
and thousands with princely incomes,
who never know minutes peace, be.
cause they live beyond their means.
There Is really more happiness among
the working men In the world than
among those who are called rich.

The Frightful Ravages of the
yellow Fever I'm BuenOS Ayres.

The Frightful Rayages of the
Yellow Fever In Buen0s Ayres.
The causes Of the yellow fever, which
is now raging with such terrible fatal
ity in Buenos Ayres, as stated in yes
terday's Times, are discussed in the
Standard of that city. That journal
concludes that its rapid spread is large
ly due to the filthy condition of the
place, and it says:
"There is no drainage in the city, and
its foundations are completely honey
combed with vaults, &c. The houses
are square blocks with courts or spaces
within. There are no back doors in
their dwellings, and everything has to
go in and come out at the front door.
There is a box in every house into
which all the sweepings of the rooms,
all that is left in the Kitchen, such as
bones, pieces of meat, &C., are thrown.
And meat is so cheap there that the
bones are not scraped quite so closely as
they are here and the consequence is,
much flesh finds its way into THESE
boxes, is decomposed soon in that eli.
mate, and when the police carts come
after these boxes in the morning there
is necessarily bad smell all over the
city. These boxes, or their contents,
are dumped not faraway and the cOnse-
quence is that death-dealing miasma
is constantly arising from these heaps.
The city is like city of the dead; the
streets silent and deserted, and more
than half the population have fed
Business is at a stand-still. 1t is ru.
mored that a decree will,be passed to
close every establishment in the city
and send all the people outside The
gre test mortality continues among the
poorer class of Italians and natives
Nothing can exceed the misery and
desolation which meet the view on all
Sides" -.-, ...
