How TO BREAK OFF BAD HABITS
Understand the reasons why the habit
is injurious. Study the subject till there
is no lingering doubt in your mind
Avoid the places, the personsand thoughts
that lead to temptation. Frequent the
places, associate with the persons, indulge
the thoughts that lead from temptation.
Keep busy idleness is the strength OF
bad habits. Do not give up the strug-
gle when you have broken your resolu-
ton once, twice, thousand times. That
only shows how much need there is for
you to strive. When you have broken
your resolution just think the matter
over, and endeavor to understand why
it is you failed, so that you may be on
your guard against recurren of the
same circumstances. Do not think it is
an easy :hing that you have undertaken.
1t is folly to expect to break off habit
in day which may have been gathering
strength in you for years.

Driving a Hen.

When a woman has hen to drive
into the coon she takes hold of her hoops
with both hands, and shakes them quiet
ly toward the delinquent, and says
"Shew there" The hen takes one
look at the object to convince herself
that il is a woman, and then stalks ma
jestically into the coop in perfect disgust
of the sex, A man don't do that way,
He goes out of doors andsays, " 1t is sin
gular nobody in this house. can drive a
hen but myself" and picking up stick
of wood, hurls it at the offending biped,
and observes, Get in there you theft"
The hen Immediately looses her reason,
and dashes to the opposite end of the
yard. The man straightway dashes at
ter her. She comes back again with
her head down, her wings out, and fol-
lowed by an assortment of stoye-wood.
fruit cans, and coal clinkers, with a
much putting and very mad man in the
rear. Then she skins up on the stoop,
and under the barn, and over fence or
two, and around the house, and back
again to the coop, all the while talking
as only an excited hen can talk, and all
the while followed by things convenient
for handling, and by man whose coat
is ON the sawbuck, and whose hat is on
the ground, and whose perspiration and
appear to have no limit. BY
this time the other hens have come out to
take hand in the debate, and help dodge
the missiles, and then the man says every
hen on the placeshall be sold in the morn
ing, and puts on his things and goes down
street, and the woman dons her hoops
and has every one of those hens housed
and contented in two minutes, and the
only sound heard on the premises is the
by the eldest boy as he
mends the broken pickets. -Danb~y

MINGLrNG WITH STRANGERS. The
effect of mingling with new people, who
have new methods of thought, is very
salutary. Always to see the same peo-
pie, do the same things, feel the same
way, produces a stagnant condition of
the mind and heart that is very distress
ing to behold. There are thousands of
invalids who might be greatly benefited
by getting away from home, to mingle
with strangers, and be touched with the
magnetism of the great world as it
courses in its accustomed rounds. And
there are mental invalids who need the
same change, to get their minds and
hearts enlarged, and let in little more
of the great light of life. Outside in.
fuences are very valuable to those who
at home have been well trained by
healthful influences in early youth, SC
that they can avoid the snares and Dit
falls into which these so often blindl,
fall.

Young Ladies'.

Ladies-caged birds of beautiful plu
mage, but sickly looks-pale pets OF the
parlor, who vege;ate in unhealthy at
mosphere, like the potato terminating in
dark cellar, why do you not go into
the open air and warm sunshine, and
add lustre to your cheeks, elasticity to
your frames? Take exercise; run up
the hill on a wager, and down again for
fun; roam the fields, climb the fences,
leap the bitches, wade the brooks, and

unrestrained liberty, 60 home with an
appetite acquired by healthy enjoy
ment The beautiful and blooming
young lady-rosy checked and bright
eyed-who can darn stocking, mend
her own frock, command regiment of
pots and kettles, feed the pigs, milk the
cows, and be lady when required, is
girl that young men are in quest of for
a wife. But you pining, screwed up,
wasp WASTED, doll-dresseo, consumption
music-murdering, novel-de-
vouring daughters of fashion and idle
ness, you are no more fit for matrimony
than pullet is to look after brood of
fourteen chickens. The truth is, my
dear girls, you want less fashionable
and more liberty of action
more kitchen and less parlor; more leg
exercise and less sofa; more pudding
and less piano; more frankness and less
mock modesty. Loosen your waist |
strings, and breathe pure atmosphere.

How TO BE NoBoDY.-The following
rules are full of the severe irony OF
truth. Strictly obeyed, they will secure
to any boy or young man the bitterest
failure that his worst enemy could wish
Spend your leisure time on a whiskey
barrel. Drink as much as you can pay
for, or get others to pay for, or get on
credit. Smoke cigars in the same ratio.
Master the intricacies of dominoes, bill
iards and checkers above all things,
make yourself an adept at card playing.
Chess, the game of an intelligent young
man who foolishly desires to be some
body, you should eschew.
Don't read anything except the dime
novels of the day. Cultivate the i'm
preston that all women like to be in
suited. and that all men are thieves
If you should ever become conscious of
decent emotion-to which weakness,
alas the most of us are liable at odd
moments-crush it out with little i'm
promptu blackguardism, or drown it
in horn of whiskey.
Make fun lof your mother behind

thinking is dangerous-of how much
she has done for you. Cheat your father,
and borrow your sisters little savings.

HAVE A SCRAP Book Every far
mer should keep a book in which to paste
agricultural scraps. Every one, reading
a paper, will see number of things
which he will wish to remember. He
will perhaps see the suggestions, the val
ue of which he will desire to test or hints
which he will want TO be governed by In
future operations. And yet, after read
ing the paper he will throw it down and
will probably never see 1t again. In such
case all the valuable articles will be
lost. To prevent such loss, every read
er should clip from the papers such arti-
Giles as he desires to preserve and remem-
Der, and paste them in scrap book.
Such book, at the end of year or two,
will be very interesting and valuable.

So You MIGHT HAVE BEEN.-An
eminent divine, remarkable for the de-
voted piety and spotless purity of his
character, was heard to say that he never
read or heard of a crime in his life, no
matter how heinous, without feeling an
inward consciousness that under certain
conditions of education he might have
committed the same crime himself. The
same feeling must have been expert
enced, more or less, by all rejecting, en-
lightened men; and yet-and yet how
little charity there is in the world.
