Tight RarnS.

Tight barns is the doctrine preached
and practicsd by the best farmers now-a-
days, and We desire to say nothing
against them. We do not care how
tightly the hay is kept if sealed from
the air entirely, like green tea, all the
better. But for animals there must be
good ventilation. They canno. thrive
unless the air is pure. The best vepti-
lators for house is the chimney. and the
best ventilators for barns are tubes run
ming from the cellar to the roof. With
openings in them from the stables, SO
that the efiuvia from the excremenn and
sxhalatiens OF the animals may pass off
freely. Of course passage of fresh air in
70 the stables should be furnished. -Er.

Never let your honest convictions be

PAKRsTAL PARrIALIry.-There is q
fatal danger in family government, from
which we would warn every parent; and
that is partiality. 1t is too often the case
that fathers aud mothers have their favor :
lite CHI Id. From this, two evil results.
In the first place, the pet usually becomes
a spoiled child; and the flower of the
family seldom yields any other than Bit
ter fruit. In the second place, part Of
the household feels envy towards the par
ent who makes the odious distinction.
Disunion is thus sown in what ought to
be the Eden of life, a sense of wrong is
planted by the parents hand in the hearts
of part of his family, an example of
injustice is written on the soul of the
offspring. by him who should iustill into
it. by every word and deed, the holy
principals ofequi.y.
