A Brisk Business.

WT E could not have asked better be-
w ginning. Our customers were at
our very door, and came without invita-
tion. We needed no drummers or trav-
elers; no advertising or expensive ways of
drawing attention to our wares. Mems
appetite were all on our side and brought
us into favor.
For the first two or three months scarce
ly day went over that was not surprised
at the character of some of our customers.
Men from all grades of life came in to
drink; among them citizens of high social
and even religious standing. Old gray
headed men and youngsters in their teens
often stood side by side at the bar drinking.
The father would come in, get his glass
and go, and soon after the son would stand
in his place, just missing each other. Now
and then father and his son would come
face to face, each surprised-maybe panied
and shocked-at the encounterl Clerks
and employers would have like meetings,
often to the chagrin and uneasiness of the
former.
"That isn't the place for you," have
heard said hundred times by the old to
the young; by the merchant to his clerk;
by the father to his son; by the old tippler
to some junior friend met unexpectedly in
our bar-room. could not help noting it
as remarkable that, with few exceptions,
the old warned the young and the topper
the moderate man, to keep away from bar
rooms and let drink alone. n3
"If you don't look out it win catch you'll"
81 don't like to see you here so often, my
young friendr' "Tis'nt safe, John.''
''Take care, my boy.' "You'll go to the
devil faster than a horse can carry you if
you don't keep out of these places"
Words of warning like these, spoken in
all seriousness by men who were free
drinkers themselves, but saw and feared
the danger to others. How many of them
have seen pass the line of self-control and
become the slaves Of appetite!
soon came to understa nd that, with few
exceptions, our business was not regarded
as good for the people; that it was attended
with evils of the worst kind, and that our
best customers were often strongest in
reprobation and warning.
A few weak young men who were fiat
tered by our familiarity and pleased with
our attentions-idle young men of loose
principles-professed to think it all right.
But, somehow, never had any real re-
spect for them, There was another class,
regular hard cases, bold and bad, who
never talked anything but obscenity and
coarse blackguardism-t loungers by
day aud by night, except when engaged in
schemes of money getting, understood only
by themselves. These were out and out ON
our side
There was no getting away from this
fact. 1t became more and more apparent
every day. Our business was hurtful, and
in low esteem by all. for whose good
opinion any, one cared. yafrhser WfHs

A Requisite of Agriculture.


Knowledge is what ia requisite in
agriculture. Experience in bad svs.
TENS of farming or in farming where
no system whatever exists amounts
to very little, for though the man
himself considers be is practical
farmer and others will indorse him
as such, and in fact he is so far as the
performance of labor is concerned,
yet be really possesses no knowledge,
and cannot rightfully lay claim 20 it.
Farmers do as their neigbors do, as
their fathers did, and if any one
differs from them in opinion they
will all condemn the holder of this
foreign sentiment as q man who
knows nothing. Knowledge, that
Of the genuine character, would
show any one how to farm so as to
increase the productive power of his
lsnd how to manage his cattle so as
to avoid disease, abortions and ills of
all kinds excepting common acct
dents; how to apportion his sheep,
cows and horses on his pastures so
as 10 make each of these varieties of
live stock do the better for the others
presence, and also improve the grass
by encouraging and thickeuing the
most nutritious varieties, so a. to
cause it to carry more stock and
become more fattening in its quail
tiles. Knowledge would make
man so discreet as never to plant
any crop which would impoverish
his soil, without such overwhelming
returns as to more than recompense
it ; as never to sow any seed with
out duly considering what effect
previous management would have
on this crop, and what the issue
would be on the following crops
and as never to NOW grass or
manage it in any way so as to run
it down, but on the contrary to run
out such varieties as will monopo-
lie the ground to the exclusion of
such natural grass "a constitutes
permanent sward, and having estab-
lished thorough, durable track Of
meadows on suitable land never to
spoil it by the customs which cause
all complaint made by American
farmers. knowledge carries man
above traditions, aud no one having
1t will fail 10 obtaining what he
desires, for it is only the sensoiess
who cannot have every field in
exactly the state in which they
wish to have IT, True knowledge
on agricultural subjects would pro-
duce deeply felt commiseration for
the ruinous errors which exist as TO
cause and effect. We give the above
extract from the proceedings of the
New York Farmers Club for what
il is worth.

Daily Exercise Of the Horse.

Without regular exercise no horse
can long be kept in health, and | be-
lieve that as far as this point is con-
cerned, even those which are hard
worked would be the better for half
an hours airing every morning as
soon as they havo been fed and be-
fore they are dressed. But those
masters who are particular about the
mouths Of the animals they ride or
drive, find that the hands OF their
grooms are generally so heavy that
they spoil the delicate 'feer' on
which the comfort and pleasure Of
riding and driving so much depends.
Hence in such cases the poor horse
is cond emned to confinement to his
stable, not only on the day when he
is to be ridden or driven, but on those
also when he is to be idle.
The health Of the body is sacrific>
ed TO the maintenance Of the delicate
condition of the mouth which is so
highly priced by good horsemen and
accomplished whips, AID confess
that | plead guilty to having for a
long series Of years acted upon this
principle. A fair share Of health
may be attained without exercise #
the work il never interrupted for
more than single day, and at the
same time, there being Only one pair
of hands to interfere with the mouth.
its delicacy is not impaired, that il
to say, if they are not as bad as those
of the groom.
Sometimes large and smooth
snafiie is allowed az an exercise bril-
die, in the hopc that it cannot in-
jure the mouth, but even this will do
mischief if the weight Of the rider is
thrown upon it, as it is too often the
case. Leaving out of the question
this objection to the adoption of OK
ercise, there can be no doubt that a
daily walk out of doors for half an
hour or an hour, especially if it can
be managed on turf, will be Of the
greatest service to the horses health.
