Boys Oh a Farm.

There is volume of sound sense in the
following, which we find floating about in
our exchanges:
Bring up boy on the farm until he is
one and twenty, giving him suitable educa-
ton and privileges, and nine cases out of
ten, he will like the business through life.
At times he may desire to leave when he
sees other boys on an express wagon, or
standing in u grocery waiting upon Gus
toners; but when he comes out ofhis guar
dianship, he will have the habits of natures
noblest employment so fixed that he will
not desire to get off on tangent of rash
speculations, but will look out discreet
helpmate, and settle.
Then he will use his capital of
dollars given by q we'll to-do father, or of
q good moral character, that he can use in
stead of dollars-to purchase farm, and
to go to work to make mselfcomfortable,
raise up family, pay for his farm, and
with the help ofhis wife he will soon rise

lost to themselves, and to society in whirl-

The Doctor On lie Mitncss.SianI.

If a medical man shows at great adyan-
tage in your home or in his own, there is
one place in which lie is too often uncom-
Portable, and makes other people uncom-
Portable as well. This is the witness-box.
There is hardly any great trial for murder,
but doctors and counsel come into fierce
collision; there is the conflict of medical
testimony, and the common sense of Judge
and jury is frequently insulted. 1t would
be a golden rule for medical man never
to use scientific term if popular term
would serve his use as well. The medical
man not only states facts, but obtrudes
his explanations and theories about them,
and does so in highly-technical language.
The legal mind reyolts against the assump-
ton of the medical mind, and in this way
much prejudice is done to science, The
lawyers are pretty unanimous in holding
that a medical man is the worst possible
witness. He cannot plead privilege, like
the lawyer or the confessor, and his best
plan is to tell his story at once, in the
most ineligible and straightforward way
that he can.-"The Romance Of Incidence"

LIGHT.

From the quicken'd womb of the primal gloom
The sun rolled black and bare,
Till wove him vest for his Ethiop breast
or the threads Of my golden hair;
And when the broad tent of the armament
Arose on its airy spars,
| pencilled the hue of its matchless blue
And spangled ii round with stars
painted the flowers of the Eden bowers,
And their leaves of hidden green,
| And mine were the dyes in the snlpss ewes
OF Edcn's virgin queen;
And when the iiends art on the trustiul heart,
Had fastened its mortal spell,
In the sivcry sphere of the first born tear,
To the trembling earth fell
When the wave burst DER world accurscd,
Their work of wrath had sped,
And the Arli's lone few, tried and true
Came forth among the dcad
With the wond'rous CLEANS of my bridal beams
babe their tcrrors cease,
As wrote on the scroll of the storm dark roll,
Gods covenant of peace
Like pail at rest on sinless breast
Nights funeral shadows slept,
Where the shepherd SWANS on Bcthlchems plains
Therloncy vigils kept;
When flashed on their sight, the herald bright
Or Heavens rcdceming plan,
AS they chauntcd the morn of a Saviour born,
Joy, JOY to the outcast man.
Equal favor show to the lofty and low:
On the just and unjust descend;
Fen the blind whose vain spheres roll in dark
ming tears
Feel my smile the blest smile of friend;
| Nay, the flower of the waste, by my love is en-
braccd
As the rose in the garden of kings,
At the chrysals bier of the wormSI appear,
And 10! the gay buttcrily's wings.
The desolatc morn, like a mourncr folorn
| Conceals all the pearls of her charms,
Till bid the bright hours chase the night from
her flowers
! And lead the young day to her arms;
And when the gay rover seeks eve for his lover
! And sinks in her balmy reposc,
| | wrap the soft vest, by the zephyr famed west
! In curtains ofambcr and rose.
From my sentinel sleep, by the night broodin2
deep,
/ gaze with unslumbering eye,
| When the exposure star Of the Mariner
/ Is blottcd from out the sky;
And guided by me, through the mcrciless sea,
Though sped by the hurricanes wings,
/ His composites, dark, lone, weltering bark
To the haven-home safely | bring.
wakcn the flowers on the dew spangled bowers
The birds in their branches of green,
! And mountain and plain glow with beauty again
! AS they basi in their matinal sheen.
o, if such the glad worth ofmy presence on earth
Though ttful and tleeting the while,
| What glories must rest on the home of the blcst
Ever bright with the Deity smile

Petty AnnOyances.

The constant exercise of patience and
forbcarancc is never more necessary or
praiseworthy than in domestic life; but
there i3 species Of endurance which, as it
is quite superlluous, is not at all commend
able-I mean the putting up with such dali
ly annoyances as the cost of few cents or
the labor of few minutes would eflectu-
ally remove. Narrow means, an inconye-
nient house, disagrceablc situation, tire
some children, stupid servants, or-worse
than even these-toothache and an ill-tcm-
pered husband-these are trials for which
patience is the best and almost the only
remedy; and all who have patience enough
under such circumstances are entitled to our
sympathy and admiration. But, in addi-
ton to the unavoidable ailliction oftheir
lot, how many go on, from day to day and
year to year with doors that never shut
windows and drawers that nobody can
open, keys that will not lock, CRATES that
never draw, blinds that wont keep up and
curtains that wont come down, nails that
tear their things and things that tear nails
And, while protesting to be above noticing
such petty grievances, how many eXpend
so much Of their stock of patience upon
these unnecessary evils that they have scarce.

such persons calculate,a at the years end, the
amount Of time and strength expended in
daily struggles with only one drawer "that
always sticks, so that there is the greatest
difficulty in pulling it out, and, when it is
out it is all that anybody can do to push il
in again"-and ifthey could recollect and
and believe the singular verbal manifesto
tions of their indifference to "those trifles
that no one should make a moments fuss
about in world where there is so much

Why the Sandwich Islands Should be An

Mark Twain gives the following reasons
why the Sandwich Islands should be an

alilict them with our wise and beneiicent
government. We can introduce the nov

Government defaulters, and show them how
amusing it is to arrest them and try them
and then turn them loose-somc for cash
and some for political influence We
can make them ashamed of their simple
and primitive justice We can do away
with their occasional hangings for murder
and let them have Judge Pratt to teach
them how to save imperiled Avery
sins to society. We can give them some
Barnards to keep their money corporations
out of difficulties. We can give them
juries composed entirely oftho most simple
and charming leatherheads. We can give
them railway corporations who will buy
their Legislatures like old clothes, and run
over their best citizens and complain of the
corpses for smearing their unpleasant juices
on the track. In place ofharmless and va

ri was sailor who won the heart

Fastening her eyes upon every speck

The bells from the town beneath, that rang
Through the summers heat and the winters cold (!
The flash Of the pIunging surges white
& The soaring gulPs wild, boding cry
She was weary of all; there was no delight
In heaven or earth and she longed to die.
What was it to her though the Dawn should paint
With delicate beauty skies and seas?
But the sweet, sad sunset spendors faint
Made her soul sick with memories
Drowning in sorrowful purple sail
u In the distant east, where shadows grew is-
Till twilight shrouded it cold and pale,
And the tide of her anguish rose anew.
Like slender statue carved of stone
She sat, with hardly motion or breath.
She wept no tears and she made no moan,
But her love was stronger than life OR death.
He never came back! Yet faithful STILL
She watched from the hilltop her life away,
And the townsfolk chsstened it Heartbreak Hill,
