KEEP THE GATE SHUT.-An English
farmer was one day at work in his fields,
when he saw a party of huntsmen riding
about his farm He had one field that
he was specially anxious they should not
ride over, as the crop was in condition
to be badly injured by the tramp of
horses. He despatched one of his work
men to to this field, telling him to shut
the gate, and then keep watch over 1t,
and on no account to suffer it to be opened.
The boy went as he was hidden, but was
scarcely at his post before the huntsmen
came up, peremptorily ordering the gate
to be opened. This the boy declined to
do, stating the orders he had received,
and his determination not to dlsobey
them. Threats and brides were offered
alike in vain; one after another came for
ward as spokesman, but all with the same
result-the boy remained immovable in
his determination not to open the gate.
After awhile, one Of noble presence adj
vanced and said in commanding tones:
''My boy" you do not know me. / am
the Duke Of Wellington, one not accus-
toned to be disobeyed; and | command
you to open that gate, that | and my
friends may pass through" The boy
lifted his cap, stood uncovered before the
man whom all England delighted to hon
or, then answered firmly: Il am sure
the Duke Of Wellington would not wish
me to disobey orders l must keep this
gate shut, nor suffer any one to pass but
with my masters express permission"
Greatly pleased, the sturdy old warrior
lifted his own hat and said: II honor
the man or boy who can be neither bribed
nor frightened into doing wrong"

We are not required wholly to abstain
from food on the Lords day, butt would
contribute very much to our spirited
health to be more sparing in our diet
than i common among those who possess
ample seif-indulgence. To make it day
OF feastlng the body is one of the surest
ways Of starving the soul But IN the few
remarks which now offer. / shall confin-e
myself to Sunday dinners BY more la
Dor, variety and expense, than on other
days Of the week.
In the first place, take it to be plain
violation Of the fourth commandment
In it (the Sabbath thou shalt not do any
work; thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter,
nor thy man-servant, nor thy maid-ser
want. Now, "A warm aud inviting dim
ner cannot be prepared without labor.
Somebody must stay at home 10 get 1t.
The work will most naturally devolve
chiefly upon the domestics, and it Is not
right to deprive them Of the rest from the
tolls Of the week which God has ordained
tor them as well as for their employers,
and still less to deprive them of the priv
Ilege ofattending public worship, by keep
ing them busy all the forenoon IN the
kitchen.
And these hearty dinners unfit those
who feast thereon for the religious services
of the afternoon. If they 90 to church
it is rather to dose away the hour and q
half than to worship.
With a great many, the hearty dinner
creates temptation to stay at home, too
strong to be resisted; and this, in large
and wealthy congregations especially, is
one, if not the principal cause, why SO
many pews are vacant. The dinner is
not over when the bell rings, or, if it Is,
the couch is so much nearer than the
church, that the attraction cannot be
overcome. There Is no other way to re-
sst it but by substituting some slight re-
freshments for these Sunday dinners; and
1t would be for the health of the body as
wcll as of the soul to give them up.
While ! venture to offer these admoni
tory remarks, which | am sure are called
for in some influential quarters, | am hap
Ply to know that religious families in gen
erel, and | believe most others in the
country, dispense with warm dinners on
the Sabbath, leaving their domestics en-
tirely at liberty to attend church both
parts of the day, and thus keeping their
own minds and hearts in much better
frame for religious profting, than they
would be after free indulgence at the
dinner table-N. Y. Observer.

re- FARMING is, without doubt,
the surcst occupation there is. Far.
mers may not grow rich, but they al.
ways manage to get living for them
selves and family, which is more than
can be said Ofuby other pursuit. They
may grow rich in this as in another
pursuit, according to tue degree Of in-
telligcnco and industry brought to bear.
If you desire to SEQ tho success Of
your children rendered sure in life.
educate them for the farm. But this
word education has deep Specification
here; it is the want Of this that makes
farm liiO generally SO dull, aud tho at.
taiument Of great wealth by farming SO
rare. There is no occupation Of life
that will repay intelligence, thought
aud study better than agricultural
will, M it's because intelligence has
so little to do with tho general farming
operations that il is so unattractiye to
young men, and leads them to iorsake
it for the professions or other moro in.
tcllectuul pursuits. Induce your chill.
dreu to take an carly interest i'll tho

Grated character Of tho young men Of
tho present age. Praise them when
you Gun, and encourage them to do still
better. Give each one calf or a colt
to raise, or a small patch Of grain to
cultivate on bis own account. But
above all let them study chemistry and
the laws breeding in stock. Light
yOnr homes brilliantly in the evening

age your children to d.ess up in the
