The 10Y chat stuck 10 Farming.

Farmers boys are not the only ones
who make thrifty men, though to begin
with they have much in their favor. A
writer in tho Farm AdUocate does rot
like the idea of so many boys getting
sick or ashamed of agriculture, aud DIES
pising the old country homestead when
they grow up. He says:
When l was boy, my frs: savings Of
ten cent pieces, earned by Saturday after
noon work-for school kept half day
on Saturday then-were expended in
buying q heifer calf. Then | worked on
and paid my father certain sum each
month for keeping.
When the calf was one year old L
traded it for two steer calves, and now |
had to put in good and strong to pay for
their keeping; but | occupied all my
spare time IN teaching these calves TO
WORK in the yoke, and at one year old
they would gee and haw as well as old
oxen, and my father paid me for their
use in leading the team for breaking in
his two and three year olds.
Again, | had piece of ground each
year after | was fourteen, that | could
plant and work on shares; and if l want
ed help. why l had to give two days of
my time TO the hired mans one day. l
grew just what my fancy and reading die
tated, and from the proceeds | dressed as
well as any boys at the present time.
always had some time to play, time
to read. and now look back with love and
pleasant thoughts to the old farm and the
farm hand who taught me how to use
tools, and whipped me when | neglected
TO drive the team ont straight at the end
of the furrow in blowing.
This remembrance of my own boy
hood has always induced me to favor all
items of encouragement at home on the
farm; and believe if it were more gen
orally praticed, we should have more
good farmers and less broken down mer
chants, or loaiing, hanging, time-serving
clerks, ready for anything except honor
able labor and usefulness belonging to the
highest order of creation.

A new religious sect has made its ap
pearance in Vienna, and has notified its
existence and programme to the minis

will bear the names of 'Confessors of the
Message of Truth, Liberty and Love"

of the inGumerable forms in which the
'Weligeist' manliests himself in the series
Of his Developments. We acknowledge
that humanity is progressing in all ways,
and we declare il 10 be every mans task
to assist in this improvement with all his
powers. 3. We acknowledge the indies
Iructabilty Of the Essence in all the
phenomena of the 'Weltgeist,' aud, con-
sequeuliy, also in men, and we therefore
consider death to be only the transition
into a new form of temporal existence.
4. We acknowledge that there must be
a retribution for all actions, but this is o.
ly Of temporal nature. 8. We &C.
knowledge that all those actions ara good
which are in harmony with the principle
of the Essence, equality of all men, and
which tend 10 the progress of humanity.
All actions not in accordance with this
are Objectionable. 6. We acknow ledge
the notion of God, as the idea of abso
lutte perfection, to be postulate Of hu-
man reason.
The ethics of the Message are:-
/. The commands of liberty: Be mod
crate, be calm, be ture, be clean, be in
dustrious, be economical. 2. The com
mands of justice are: Offend not, i'll
treat not, kill not, cheat not, steal not,
rob not. 8. The commands of love are !:
Be courteous TO all, be compassionate
with the unhappy, be cheerful with the
happy, assist the poor, tend the sick, pro-
tect the weak.

Do not smile on the suitor who toasts
your good name, the love which be
speaks to You is washed from bis lips by
the wine. Do not let him pledge bis all
legiance over the glass OF fiery spirits; it
is blasphemy; it will be perjury. The
wine is dearer to his heart than your
sweet face and womanly goodness; he
already has a master; he cannot have
two. Dream not of conversion after you
are bis that painless route is misery
and failure. The man who will not sac
riice his love of drink for the prize of
your hand, will not, when it is his in
Gods name, emancipate himself.
The girl who gives herself to a drunk
ard may from her husband have faint
homage which disgraces the name of love,
but she has not respect-she can never
have it-and without respect the evanes
cent influence of beauty is soon over
her hands are fettered, her subsection is
degrading.

each turn of the wheel. Life and death
are pictured on her face. There is a
beautiful young woman with great
pile Of gold before her. She risks from
one hundred to five hundred francs at a
time, aud is as cool and unconcerned as
if she was playing whist. She has been
a large winner. After watching the
game for hours, l became satisfied that
it was as dangerous to win as to lose. -
After winning-it was so easy-one was
sure TO keep on until they lost all. If
one lost they would play on to gain back.
We saw one poor fellow who bad a
large amount of gold, lose every dollar
of it, while there were, no doubt, many
others, equally unfortunate. A lady
whom we had met in Geneva happened
to drop into our car. She was going to
see the sights. She said that every one
going to Monaco tried their luck 1--WE
