ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

So-called accomplishments are &
sort of mansard roof clapped on
the sounder structure of the aver.
age English education. Why
they are thus denominated, wheH
IN the possession of them so little
is really accomplished, it is diff
ficult to determine. Their mate
rial IS generally as unsubstantial
as that of the thing to which they
have been compared, 2zd. subject
ed 10 the fiery tests of life and
experience, they are almost as
readily destroyed. The acquire
meat of a little knowledge of mu-
sic, certain rules of drawing, the
process of mixing colors, and a
few foreign phrases, are oftenest
the result of much misapplied in
dustry. If music, drawing, and
painting we're studied and cult
waited as arts, with the intent of
becoming thoroughly proficient in
them, that they might stand, if
need be, in good. practical stead,
then the time devoted TO them
would not be wasted. Instead of
being mental folfols in which to
deck their ill-clothed minds in
public, these attachments would
be of deep and lasting satisfaction
to their possessors, even though
not put to any scYerer trial.
Few girs care enough for music
and draSing to pursue them after
being freed from the restraint of
masters, and many would never
begin such study were it not for
the ambition of parents, guided
by society that demands all girls
to be nodded after the same model.
This idea is SO obviously impossi-
BILE as to be absurd. Countless
good gardeners, milliners, dress
makers, housekeepers, have been
spoiled in poor piano-players, sim
ply because knowledge of the pi-
ano was considered as an elegant
acquisition; while an understand
ing of the other things was re
garded as something that only
necessity should require. The
hours of stunning on unrespon-
sive instruments, (unresponsive
because touched by no sympa-
thetic fingers,) which, otherwise
employed, might have made CAPT
tai cooks, are uncalculable.
The original design was good
to enable women to impart pleas
ure and improvement to them
selves and others; but it signally
fails. Seldom are girls willing to
play, or exhibit the work of their
pencil to critical ears and eyes;
and when good nature impels
them to, what have they to offer?
Ordinarily the merest smattering
r0pellant to ripe judgment
than total ignorance would be.
1t is evident that an acquain-
tance with the alphabet of many
branches is not so great an aid to
intellectual improvement, as being
thoroughly versed in one. In
this short life, it is much to know
even one thing well. If thor
oughly understood, everything
from steak-broiling to oratorio-
composing, should be considered
an accomplishment. Pupils apt
at figures should be taught book
keeping in place of minims and
semi-breves; and natural nurses
given an insight into bottles and
bandageS, in lieu of curved lines
and neutral tint. Thus the train
ing OF tie mind in a direction at
once natural and useful contrib
utes to its healthiest growth, and
rebounds to individual advance
ment and general advantage

NECESSARY UNlTY.-To be &C.
MUS, one must also be a laborer.
Alexander Hamilton once said to
an intimate friend: ''Men give
me some credit for genius. All
the genius that 1 have lies just in
this, when 1 have a subject in
hand, / study 1t profoundly. Day
and night it is before me. ex-
plore it in all its bearings. My
mind becomes pervaded with it.
Then the effort which / make is
what the people are pleased to call
the fruit of genius. It is the fruit
of labor and thought" Mr.
Webster entertained similar ideas
and would not speak on any sub
ject until he had thoroughly i'm
bued his mind with it. Demos
themes was once urged to speak OF
a great and sudden emergency
81 am not prepared said he, anC
obstinately refused. The law o
labor is equally binding on genius
and mediocrity; the results differ,
of course, for genius must inevita
bly, distance mediocrity, but labo
is necessary to all who would sue
coed.

CARE OF STOCK.

1t Is wretched practice to al
low stock to run down either in
summer or winter. 1t is possible
to conceive of peculiar circum-
stances that would excuse ana
even justify it; but as q general
practice it is simply footing away
the possibilities of the greatest
success. In matter so plain and
easy to be understood, it seems
strange that men Of even moder-
ate understanding should go
astray.
A living animal is q machine in
motion.-To keep it at its normal
rate of speed, certain amount of
nutriment is required. For gToacth
an additional quantity will be
needed, and also for animals that
do service in harness Or otherwise,
and those that give milk. This
additional quantity is less than
the other. 1.-two hundred pounds
of hay will keep horse that does
no work in good condition a week,
it would require not double that
quantity to keep him in harness
every da;. So the work We get
out of Il horse costs less than
what is required to simply keep
the animal alive and in good con-
dition. So with growing stock.
The growth costs less than the
needs of the system to keep il in
Stdtu Qteo.
Now, suppose We feed young
stock just enough to keep the ma
chine running-to keep the ami
NAL alivc-but withhold the adj
ditional amount requisite for
growth. Critically speaking, this
may not be possible, but practic-
ally it is near enough the truth to
say that it can be done, and furth-
er, that it is done by very many
farmers, probably majority. In
such cases, how does the account
stand with the animal when this
treatment is changed to full feedi
The beast is no larger than before,
it has been "stunted," and is in
bad heart and actually worthless
other things being equal. IL one
quarter or one-half more feed
would have been stored up in the
animal growth, and would have in
creased its value enough to pay
for the additional feed, for the 9th.
| er amount that was needed &c
keep the animal alive, and also tt
pay for the care of the beast, the
interest on the money, the risk
and above and over all, profit t.
the feeder.
i Compare the results and not
particularly what caused the diff
ference. The principle is one O
, broad application. In the sup
posed case of the horse, he conli
do no work on the feed given
! without getting poorer IN flesh
! Two quarts of oats in addition t.
the hay, would give the surplu
strength to work some, and NOR
} oats, up to full feed proportionate
lly increase his capacity for sci
{ vice. IL the service is what i
: wanted, how foolish would it be Z
3 withhold the additional feed o
E | which the service depends.

RI The man would be foolish VIII
