The Difference.

Those who own land and till ii arc
very much inclined to think that the,
fare worse than many persons who
arc engaged in other avocations
While it is doubtless true that the
farmer; gardener and fruit grower il
not generally in' a position to MAKE
large profits or much money by what
is termed speculation. still there is q
substantial basis to their operations
not found at the bottom Of majority
of other industries.
| The man who sows q field with
grain or sets out trees for either use
or ornament, has just that amount OF
property, If no more, which increases
while he sleeps, and herein there is O
difference between him and the mer-
chant, not i'm favor of the latter
Goods when once purchased and laid
upon shelves seldom increase in val
ue, while the. spronting seed and
growing plant always does when put
in the earth with that purpose in view.
We would that all men having the
opportunity should avail themselves
of natures bounty in this direction,
planting more trees to grow as time
passes, thereby increasing their own
individual wealth and that of the
community at large at the same time.
A man who learns 10 look upon the
bright side Of nature while tending
his flock and cnltivating his land, Is
more likely to take pleasure i'm labor,
as well as TO do his work better than
the one that looks upon the dark side
and we are inclined to think that snc-
cess or failure often hinges upon this
difference in disposition or pecnlinr-
tiles of different individuals.
An unwilling servant is seldom a
good or faithful one, and the same
rule holds good in the -higher walks
of life; hence, every person should
endeavor to cultivate a spirit Of earn
estness, which generally adds force
in accomplishing our object and leads
others to put confidence in whatever
we undertake. When we meet a man
who. to use a common phrase, is "des-
perately in earnest in any scheme or
av0cation which he may have in
