HARD WoRK.-Itis thehonest plod-
ding workman who rises to an elevated
position in the world. Work is, as a
rule, at the foundation of all true sue
cess. Brilliant parts, fine education,
powerful friends are not to be despised,
but they cannot supply the place Of
personal toll and patient, painstaking
industry. President Lincoln literally
worked his way up from a common la
borer to the highest position in the gift
Of the Republic. Henry Wilson, at
twenty-one, carried his wardrobe and
library on his back whittier he went in
pursuit Of work. Commodore Wander
biIt laid the foundation Of his vast for
tune in the savings and habits Of in
dustry acquired in his young days in
rowing ferryboat. Chas. Dickens
owed his success not more to his genius
than to hard, systematic labor.

FENCING. According to United
States statistics, worm or Virginia
fence costs ninety-fve cents, post and
rail one dollar and thirty-fve cents,
board fence one dollar and twenty-ziz
cents, and stone wall one dollar and
thirty-four cents per rod in this State.
The estimate is based upon boards at
sixteen dollars per thousand and rails
at ffty-six dollars. From the same
source it would seem that Of our fences
sixty-seEen per cent. are Of the kind
known as worm Or snake fence, seven
teen per cent. Of post and rail, twelve
per cent. of board, and only four per
cent. Of permanent stone wall. The
returns embrace 15e,377, ,S21 rods of
fence, enclosing 16,374,641 acres, ct q
cost Of S179, ,S34, ,494, or at the rate Of
nine hundred and fifty-fve rods to each
one hundred acres. The annual ex-
pense Of repairs, and interest upon the
Investment is s198, ,S06,1s2. The in
terest bearing national debt, the cost of
our fences, and the value Of the live
stock Of the nation, all figure up to
about the same amount, Each dol
lars worth Of i've stock requires one
dollars worth Of fence to keep it in
order That twenty-five per cent. of
this fencing is needless and may be
dispensed with, is undoubted. How
much Of the remainder would be rem
dered needless BY properly connected
system Of pasturage and soiling, it is
hard to say.

A TOUCHING IEoDEET. "A noble
man, who had died a few years since,
had chest al locked up, but marked /:
TO be removed first in case Of fire. :
When he died, his friends opened that
chest supposing, Of course, that some
valuable documents Of deed Of proper
ty, rich jewelry, or costly plate would
be found in it. But what did they
find? They found the toys ofhis little
child, who had gone before him.
Richer to him were they than all the
worlds wealth, richer than his coronet,
brighter than all the jewels that spark
led on its crest. Not his estate, not his
jewels, not his equipage. nothing glo-
rious and great in this world but the
dearest objects to him were the toys Of
his little child.

ADVICE TO YOUNG LADIEs.-In
marrying, make your own match; do
no marry a man to get clear Of him, or
to oblige him, or to save him. A man
who would 60 to destruction without
you, will quite as likely go with you,
and perhaps drag you along. Do not
marry in haste, lest you repent at leis-
ure. Do not marry for home and a
living. Do not let aunts, fathers and
mothers sell you for money or position
in bondage, tears and lifelong misery,
which you must endure. Place not
yourself habitually in the hands Of any
suitor until you have decided the ques-
ton of marriage. Human wills are
weak, and people often become bewil-
dered, and do not know their error un-
til it is too late.

A minister was once riding through
a section Of the State Of South Caroli-
ma where custom forbade inn-keepers
to take pay from the clergy who stayed
with them. The minister in question
took supper without prayer, and ate
his breakfast without prayer or grace,
and was about to take his departure
when ''mine host" presented his bill.
'Ah, sir, said he, "Iama clergyman? p
''That may be-" responded Bonifaee !
'but you came like sinner, smoked
like a sinner, slept like sinner, and ate
and drank like sinner; and now, sir,
you shall pay like sinner"

s1ass OF 4 PRosPERous FARMER.
When you see bis barn larger than his
house, it shows that he will have large
profits and small Affections.
When you see him driving his work
instead of his work driving him, it
shows that he, viii never be driven
from good resolutions, and that he will
certainly work his way to prosperity.
When you always see in his wood
house suficiency for three months or
more, it shows that be will be a more
than ninety days wonder in farming
operations, and that heis not sleeping
in his house after a drunken frolic.
When he has a house separate from
the main building, purposely for ashes,
and an iron Or tin vessel to transport
them, it shows that he never built his
dwelling to be a funeral pile for his
family, and perhaps himself.
When his sled is housed in summer
and his farming implements covered
both winter and summer, it plainly
shows that he win have a good house
over his head in the summer of early
life and the, winter of an old age.
When bis cattle are properly shield
ed and fed in winter, it evidences that
he is acting according to the Scripture,
which says that "a merciful man is
