FARMING THAT PAYs.-The profit of agri-
culture, like the profit of any other business,
depends upon what they call in Wall street,
"margn," and very small one it is in
farming, as in all safe and we'll established
industries. When we sold wool to the Bunnes,
many years ago, one of the firm told US that
they had been making cloth without profit,
and when they found a waste of about cent
a pound on their wool, and managed to avoid
that waste, their business was again successful.
A quarter of one per cent received by a
broker, in large financial transactions, has
made him large fortune. And though in
the limited transactions of the manufacturer
and farmer so small per centage would not
avail much, it is certain that the fortune of
the farmer, no less than the merchant and the
manufacturer, is made up of the small profits
in his business. accumulated by many years of
labor and carefulness. This net profit is so
small that it is liable to be impaired by any
trifing error of management or lack of force.
Any serious defect in management, or any de-
gree of slackness, will spoil the profit alto
gether. There are 80 many things to be we'll
done in order to succeed, that it is not strange
that so many fail. When every part of farm
ing is we'll done, there is no mistake about the
proft.-Duchess Farmer.

n6% Many of my friends who have to be up
early in the morning ask the policeman to call
them at the appointed hour. I may not COM
pare the Christian minister with policeman
in some respects; but yet he is one of Gods
officers, and it is part of his business to stir
up drowsy professors. 1t is we'll to attend to
an earnest gospel ministry, where the minis
ter, under Gods blessing, will be likely to
wake you up. Faithful preachers are among
Gods best gifts Cherish them and be obedi-
ent to their admonitions. have known per-
sons to become offended when a minister is
"too personal )" but wise men always prize
ministry in proportion as it is personal to
themselves He who never tells me of my
faults nor makes me feel uneasy, is not likely
to be the means of good to my soul. Why
have doctor, if you grow angry with him
for pointing out your disease? Does God
send his ministers to pander to your taste or
fatter your vanity? Be sure to attend an
arousing ministry, and pray God to make
that ministry more and more arousing to your
SOUL. Pray for the preacher, for he is in the
same danger as yourselves-for he, too, is en-.
compassed with infrmity. The minister soon
goes to sleep, unless God keeps him awake;
and what is more sad than to see the professed
messenger of God become a traitor both to
the Master and to mems souls by lack of
Jealous affection? 1t is ill for the sheep if the
shepherd himself be asleep. Woe to the
camp when the enemy is given to slumber.-

the best and largest crops on the smallest sur

HORACE GREELEY AND HIS VISITORS
Mr. Greeley had passion for showing strang-
ers around the Tribune establishment. One
day couple of ladies called upon him, and
desired to be shown around Mr.. Greeley at
the time was in the counting room below his
sanctum. The sanctum messenger boy had
taken occasion, while Mr.. Greeley was below,
to blow through the speaking-tube to the
composing. room above. The man in charge,
who felt rather irritated that day, did not
have his feelings improved, when, in response
to his answer to Greeley's supposed "call, y
he was fooled by the ofice-boy, who asked
him how be felt, or some trivial question.
Two or three times this was repeated within
half an hour, and he at last resolved to get
square with the boy. Soon Mr.. Greeley en-.
tered the sanctum with the ladies. After
showing them about, he said
You see these pipes. have only to blow
through this one, and the man in charge of
the composing-room answers"
Reckoning for one of the ladies to approach,
he blew through the pipe, and directed her
to nut her ear to the mouth-piece and listen
to the answer, when to his surprise and con-
sternation there came laundering down the
pipe: ;.

MRS. COOLEY THIRD.

My neighbor Cooley married his third wife
a short time ago, and the day after he came
home with her, his oldest boy, the son of his
first wife, came into the room where she was
sitting sewing. Placing his elbows on the
table, he began to be sociable. The follow
ing conversation ensued:
Boy-How long d'you expect you'll last ?"
Mrs. C-What on earth do you mean?
Boy-Why ma, she held on for about ten
years, and Emma, pas second, stood it for
three years. Ireckon you're good for as much
as her. I hope so, anyhow. I'm kinder sick
of funerals. They made an awful fuss when
they slowed away ma, and bigger howl
when they planted Emma. So I'd jes' as
leave you'd keep round awhile. But pa, he
has his doubts about it.
Mrs. C-Doubts! Tell me what you mean,
this instant.
Boy-Oh, nothing! Only the day Emma
got away, pa came home from the funeral,
and when he ripped the Grape off his hat he
chucked it in the bureau drawer and said i:
Lay there till 1 want you again, 80 Pspose
the old man must be expectin' you to step out
some time or other. In fact, l seen him
conversing with the undertaken yesterday ;
making some kinder permanent contract
with him, reckon. The old man is always
jewing people down.
Mrs. B-You ought to be ashamed to talk
of your father in that manner.
Boy-Oh, he don't mind it, often hear
the fellows joking him about his wives. He
likes it. He's good natured man. Anybody
can get along with him if they understand
him. All you've got to do is to be sweet on
him, and he'll be like lamb. Now Emma,
she used to get mad, heave plate, or coal
scuttle or most anything at him, and it used
to irritate him. And ma, she'd blow him up
about Is, 900 times day; both of them would
bang me till got disgusted. And pa didn't
like it. Treat me we'll, give me candy and
money, and you've got pa sure. Emma used
to smack me and when pa said he was oppos-
ed to it she'd go at him with an umbrella, or
fat-iron and maui him. Iguess you and nell
Jog along all right together, and by the time
pa gets another wife I'll be big enough to
