A HINT TO FARMERs.-In some sections
and it would be decided advance in
thoughtfulness and kindness in all sections
farmers give each of their boys, and girls
too, strip of land to raise whatever they
choose upon it, and dispose of the prod
uct for their own benefit. 1t is favor
that they all appreciate, and it is pleas
ant and serviceable employment for them
in their leisure hours. They will vie with
each other in their skill at raising their
little crops, and the proceeds applied to
their own use, are frequently CT some value;
and the whole arrangement, whilc,it in
structs them in the cultivation of the soil,
early implants in the children the idea of
thrift and economy. Sometimes, where
good many animals are raised, pig, Il
lamb, calf, up to even colt, according
to the age of the children, is given to each
to rear and to keep or sell. Farmers,
think of this; it will more than repay you
in the happiness and confidence it will
impart to your sons and daughters.-G Ger

UNDER THE DAISIES.

IT is strange what deal of trouble we take.
What sacrifice most of us willingly make,
How the lips will smile though the heart ma,
ache,
And we bend 10 the ways of the world for the
sake
OF its poor and scanty praises.
And time runs on with such pitilcss flow
That our lives are wasted before we know
What work to finish before wego
10 our long rest under the daisies.
And too often we fail in useless fight,
For wrong is so much in the place of right.
And the end is so far beyond our sight.
lis as when one starts on q chase by nipht.
An unknown shade pursuing
Even so do We see, when our race is run.
That of all we have strvcn for little is won.
And of all the work our strength has done,
How little was worth the doing.
So most of us travel with very Door speed
Failing i'll thought where we conquer in deed =.
Least brave in the hour of greatest need,
And making II riddle that few NAV read.
Ofour life's intricate maZes.
Such q labyrinth of right and wrong.
Is IL strange that heart once brave and strong
should falter at last, and most earnestly long
For calm sleep under the daisies
But if one poor troubled heart can say.
Ills Kindness softencd my life's rough way "
And the tears fall over the lifeless clay,
We shall stand up in Heaven in brighter array
Than If all earth rang with our praises
For The good we have done shall never fade,
ihough the work be wrought and wages paid
And the weary frame of the lahorcr laid
All peacefully under the daisies

To The BoYs.-A great many boys com.
plain that there are no places. Perhaps
it is hard to get just such as you like.
But when you get a place-and there are
places-and this big country, we are sure,
has need of every good boy and girl and
man and woman in it-when you get u
place, we say, make yourself useful in it;
make yourself so necessary, by your tidel.
ity and good behavior, that they cannot
do without you. Be willing to take low
price at first, no matter what the work is
if it be honest Do it well; do it the best
you can. Begin at the very lowest round
OF the ladder and climb up. The great
want everywhere is faithful, capable labor
ers. They are never drug in the market.
Make yourself one of these, and there will
always be place for you, and good one
too.

REASONS IN FAVOR OF ToP-DREssING
LAND.-On this subject the Country Gen
ttemoa says: 1t affords protection against
the sun and frost. 1t melows the ground
beneath it. 1t keeps it moist. 1t is the
best means of distributing the strength of
the manure through the soil-by saturat-
ing it. 1t puts it where the roots are
near the surface. 1t affords direct chance
for the sun and air, and the rains and dews
to act upon. 1t prevents the usual waste
into the atmosphere and gutter. 1t keeps
the nitrogen longer in the soil in its pas
sage down. 1t continues feeding the land
as it decomposes. 1t has all the advan-
tages and none of the disadvantages of
blowing under. 1t is itself plowed under
at last-what remains of it.

HINTS TO EvERYBor The way to get
credit is to be punctual; the way to pre-
serve it is not to use it much. Settle of
ten have short accounts. Trust no mans
appearance; appearances are deceitful,
perhaps assumed for the purpose of obtain
ing credit. Beware Of gaudy exteriors
rogues usually dress well. Trust him, if
any, who carries but little on his back
Never trust him who flies into passion on
being dunned, but make him pay quickly
if there be any virtue in the law. When
ever you meet man who is fond of argu.
ment, you will meet one profoundly igno-
rant Of the operations of the human heart.
Mind your own affairs. Let all the errors
you see in others management suggest COR
rcctness in your own.

There was great stir, says Punch, in
our garden the other day. The potatoes
were ready to jump out of their SKINS
The beet turned red to its very roots The
celery lost their heads, and the cabbage
their hearts. The peas split their pods
with excitement. The asparagus could
with difficulty be kept in its bed. The
parsley curled itself up in corner. The
cucumber alone maintained its habitual
GOODNESS The cause of all this commotion
was the presence of noted vegetarian
The potatoes never took their eyes offhim.

MR.. EDITOR L noticed in several of our
grocery stores to-day lot OF pale soft shelled
Holsters which look as if salt water was not their
element, which are left there by man who
takes back every morning any old ones they
may have on hand. What are done with those,
are they not 'warmed over" and sold for fresh
ones, which every one knows are rank poison?
Where is our health committee that they allow
fresh fish sold without license for a fishmar-
ket? Where are our authorities that they do
lot look after the city ordinance prohibiting
fish being sold around the streets after o'clock
a. no. between the first of June and October?
These things need looking after SO that no more
snolled fish or over boiled Holsters shall swell
the cholera list HEALTH

LAUNcHING.-The large ship Admiral built
by the Blanchard Bros, at Yarmouth, was
very successfully launched yesterday about IL
O'Clock. The Yarmouth band was in attend

crowd was one of the largest ever seen at a
launching, many going out from this city. A
tug was there intending to bring her to this
city, but as the wind was blowing hard at that
time, 1t was thought best to let her remain
there. She will probably be brought here to-
day, and will at once receive her iron masts
aud rigging, and when fitted will proceed to
New York 10 load for San Francisco.
