WHAT O'CLOCK.

When I was boy, my father one day call
ed me to him, that he might teach me how to
know what o'clock it was. He told me the
use of the minute finger, and hour hand, and
described the figures on the dial plate until l
was pretty perfect in my part.
No sooner Mad I gained this additional
knowledge than set off to join my compan.
ions, but my father called me back again.
"Stop," said he, 81 have something else to
tell you"
Back again I went, wondering what else I
had to learn, for it seemed to me that knew
all about the clock, quite as we'll as my father
did.
"Humphrey," said he, II have taught you
to know the time of day; must now teach
you to find out the time of your life."
All this was Dutch to me; so I waited
rather impatiently to hear how my father
would explain it, for I wanted so badly to go
to my marbles "The Bible," said he, ode
scribes the years of man to be threescore and
ten, or four score years. If we divide the
fourscore years of an old mans life into
twelve parts, like the dial of the clock, it will
allow almost seven years for every figure.
When man is seven years old, then it is one
o'clock in his life, and this is the case with
you; when you arrive at fourteen it will be
two o'clock with you; and at twenty.one it
will be three o'clock, should it please God to
thus spare your life. In this manner you may
always know the time of life; and your look.
ing at the clock may, perhaps, remind you of
it. My great-grandfather, according to this
calculation, died at twelve oclock-my grand
mother at eleven, and my father at ten. At
what hour you and shall die, Humphrey, is
only known to Him to whom all things are
known.
Never since then have l heard the inquiry ;
"What o'clock is it? ?" without being remind
ed of the words of my father.
I know not what o'clock it may be with
you, but I know very well what time it is
with myself; and that if mean to do any
thing in this world, which hitherto have
neglected, it is high time to set about it. The
words of my father have given solemnity
to the dial plate of clock which, perhaps, it
e,.s those words 1N had M nd been spoken. "What
o'clock is it with yoT

PREPARATION FOR THE RAINY DAYS.
Successful farming depends largely upon the
character of the preparation made for the
rainy days. If this preparation is not of a
character suitable for the protection of crops,
stock, implements, &C., in rainy weather, the
farmer suffers loss just as certainly as effect
follows cause. Nothing is palmer index of
the bad manager than the absence of adequate
shelters and other provisions for the rainy
days. As it is smooth sailing in fair weather,
so it is omparatively easy work farming when
the sun shines. 1t is these rainy days that
do the mischief, and against which the farmer
must forecast and provide for in time. Like
the skilful pilot, the farmer must keep a
watchful eye ahead, and be quick to move
when he sees the skies lowering and finds the
air growing damp. In the harvesting of crops
especially, he must be watchful. Observation
will soon teach an intelligent eye when to ex-
pect rain. As a general rule, we may depend
on the skies giving US at least twelve hours
notice of the approach of rain, and that much
labor would often put crop under shelter in
Gne condition, provided the shelter existed.
Every farm ought to be provided with plen-
ty of house and shelter room for all its crops,
stock. &c. All implements, when not in use,
should be put away; and every kind of stock
is better off for having comfortable shelter in
rainy weather. 1t need not be expensive, but
should be such as will keep out the rain and
snow. 1t is the want of this one item that
keeps so many men poor all their lives. The
way to obviate this poverty-blast is to build
adequate shelter before you need it.

the publication OF
THE: OBSERVER,
a DAILY and WEEKLY Democratic newspaper.
or long experience in their profession as editors
respectively of the Fayetteville Observer and the
Wilmington Journal, they do not affect to doubt
signs them ability to furnish newspaper suited
to the needs and adapted to the tastes of the people
of North Carolina Differing in politics in the
olden time, there was never difference between
the Obse,verand the Journal In zeal for the inter-
ests and honor of North Carolina. To promote
the one, and to uphold and add to the other, will
be the object Of The OBSERVER now.
Of very decided opinions on questions Of pub
lie interest, and apt to give those opinions plain
expression. they deem It the first duty of news

necessary to the formation of their opinions-to
publish all "the news" and their purpose Is to
make THE OBSERVER. now as Of old, truth.

through these, of the whole Union. They think
that this can only be effected by the prevalence of
Democratic principles, and the dismissal of the
Radical party from the places and power which
they have SO greatly abused, and under whose
balefn rule the South has been outraged and the
whole country has been impoverished and dis

HANDY HELPs.-There are some things
which farmer wants but once year, and
there are others which he always should have
ready. No tool comes oftener into play than
a hammer, for example. Every new or old
wooden tool should be oiled. Have barrel
or keg or can of crude petroleum always
ready in your shop. Keep everything we'll
annointed. The crude oil goes right into the
pores and makes any wood durable as cedar.
Keep it constantly on hand. Again, save ev-
cry piece of rope, and leather strap. They
will be useful for repairing. The next time
you 90 to hardware store, get fifty cents or a
dollars worth of copper wire and straps.
Copper is great deal better than iron wire,
because it is much more flexible, like cord,
and copper straps are capital for repairing
any fracture in woodwork, it may be so easily
wrapped around, or nailed on with small nails.
Then again always have pound or two of
wrought or annealed nails of different sizes,
that will clinch readily when you use them.
You will remember that in driving these or
any other nails into hard wood, they will 60
more easily by first touching the points with
little grease, but do not let the grease get
on the face of the hammer.

LOOK TO YOUR AxLEs.-How many hor-
ses suffer by the want of attention to the axles
of carts and wagons We often see the wheels
running at an angle of ten or fifteen. degrees
"out Of true" the teamster seeming not to
realize how much this increases the burden.
If the wheel will only revolve, it seems all
that is needed by the thoughtless driver.
Then, again, want of care in greasing the
wheels is another source of unnecessary labor
for the horses. 1t lis only fair, that while we
require reasonable labor from our animals, we
shall grant chem reasonable facilities for DO
ing it.
