III Were a Boy Again.


Let me tell you, my young friend,
some of the things would do if Iwere
boy again some of the too often
neglected acts | would strive to accom-
plish if it were in my power to begin
all over anew.
If were boy again would have a
blank book in which / would record, be.
fore going to bed, every days events
just as they happened to me personally.
If / began by writing only two lines a
day in my diary, l would start my lit.
tie book, and faithfully put down what
happened to interest me.
On its pages would note down the
habits of birds and animals as | saw
them, and If the horse fell ill, down
should 90 his malady in my book, and
what cured him should go there too.
If the cat and dog showed any pecu-
liar traits, they should all be chron-
icled in my diary, and nothing worth
recording should escape me.
There are hundreds of things |
would correct III my life if | was boy
again, and among them is this special
one: | would be more careful of my
teeth. Seeing, since have grown up,
how much suffering is induced by the
bad habit of constantly eating candies
and other sweet nuisances, l would
shut my mouth to all allurements of
that sort. Very hot and very cold sub
stances would studiously avoid.
Toothache In our country is one of
the national crimes. Half the people
we meet have swelled faces. The dem
fist thriyeS here as he does in no other
land on the planet, and 1T is because
we begin to spoil our teeth at the age
of five or six years. A child eight
years old, asked me not long ago If L
could recommend him to a dentist who
ssdidn't hurt p | pitied him, but l
was unacquainted with such an artist.
They all hurt, and they cannot help 1T,
poor, Woodworking gentlemen, charg-
ing, as they do, like Chester.
/ would have no dealings with TO-
bacco, in any form if | were boy
again. My friend Pipes tells me he is
such martyr to cigar boxes that his
Life Is a burden. The habit of smok-
ing has become such tyrant over him
that he carries a tobacco bowsprlt at
his damp, discolored lips every hour OF
the day, and he begs me to warn all
the boys of my acquaintance, and say
to them emphatically, ''Don t learn to
smoke - lie tells me sadly that his
head is sometimes in such dizzy
whirl, and his brain so foul from long
habits of smoking he cannot break Off,
that he is compelled to forego much
that is pleasant in existence, and live

year. Poor PipesI he isa sad warning

A Chean Smoke-House.

Dig narrow pit twelve to eighteen
inches deep throwing the earth all out
on one side. From near the bottom OF
this pit dig trench of the length OF
one or two joints of stove-pipe at such
an angle as will bring the end away
from the pit to the surface of the
ground; over the end of this pipe set
common -four barrel, or large cask as
may be needed, and having removed
both heads, bank up around it with
loose earth, so that no smoke can es-
cape at the bottom.
Hang the hams, shoulders, etc., usin
something like a broom handle to run
through the strings. Putting cover
on top of the sticks will leave space
enough for draught, to let the smoke
mass freely. Build a smoke fire of corn
cobs, damp hard wood sawdpst or fine
chips, and you will have a cheap, safe
and efficient smoke-house with very
little trouble.

wool was also worked up similarly for
all purposes where wooden goods were

purposes, sometimes for sale. All

Kind Reader, this is no fancy sketch.
but is what many of our parents and
grand parents, in rural districts, now
living can substantiate, only that the
half is not told. We ought to be thank
full that they were able to provide for
us so goodly an inheritance and the

think they are making good use of, 50

there are many difficults and obstacles
for the farm population to overcome
which the professions, &c. know, or
think not of. Instead therefore, of
Gliding the farmer for not devoting
more time. money and attention to the
obtaining of education, &C., we should
encourage him in all his efforts, and
consider that there may be exteuating
circumstances which may exOnerate
him from any apparent neglect.

HOUSE FARM g. GARDEN.
Farmers Clubs.

We believe in farmers clubs, not
only because our reason tells us that
the mutual interchange of experience
is productive of more experience not
only because the experience of many
is more reliable than the experience of
one, and is useful to all I; not only be-
cause an acquaintance with the prac-
tice of others adds power to ourselves
to subjugate our farm to our needs !;
but because actual practicable actual
existence and living eXpeTience-has
shown conclusiyely that an active.
working, well-sustained farmers club
has been, and is of great value, not
only to the participants therein, but
also to the neighborhood wherein it is
organized.
Zach member should be an active
one, and should be willing to attend
and take part in its deliberations. In
order that this may be so, he must be
put under an obligation to attend and
do his part. Such an obligation may
readily be formed by the pressure of
the inherent force of courtesy and hos
pitable neighborhoodship Let the
membership of the club'be limited by
the number of meetings that it is de-
sirablo should be held during the win
ter, and then let each meeting be held
at the house of one of the members,
turn by turn.
Have regular hour for meeting,
and let an entertainment be prepared
by the host from the productions of
the farm, of a simple yet social char
acter. Fruits and nuts would probably
bt. all that would be desirable to be
| furnished. The officers should be a
President for each meeting-the host
and a permanent secretary who
| should keep the records, and a finance
committee who should arrange for and
collect the simple dues, and take the
care of the expenditures which might
seem to be necessary or of advantage.
! At each meeting let the subject for
the next discussion be decided on, and
one member assigned TO open the dis
cussion. The subject should be one in
which all are interested-and prefer
ably one which would be suggested by
the practice of the host of the eve
mag. Thus, if the host be butter
dairyman, let him bring before the
meeting a sample of his butter, and
explain its processes. If corn is a
leading feature of the farm culture,
then let a trace of corn be presented
for inspection, and the discussion
based on this. Other members should
bring on their butter or their corn, OIL
of whatever production relating to the
subject discussed, and the comparison
of products and the bringing together
of the diverse practices and expert
ences would afford instruction and en-
tertainment for the evening.

KING LONESOME

ssWho is the Whitehead old man -
Outside, at the window-pane,
That muttered and sighed, as away he ran
Into the sleet and rain;
Crying to some one behind.
Calling to some one before,
One whom he cannot find,
One who will cone no more 20
That old man has sisters three;
One he has never seen:
On q throne of roses afar sits she,
And the whole world owns her a QUEEN
But out OF her riches and power,
Nothing has she 10 spare Z "a
Not so much as a flower ~ "a
For the lonesome wanderer there.
One sister beside him DELAYED,
And tried his thin fingers to hold;
But the storm her garments shredded and
frayed,s aat# sGatt&ats set
And she sank, benumbed with the cold.
And ever he prays and cries, ..
And over her silence grieves;
Behind hin ~ 5. she lies --ssittt
Buried L. zen leaves. sa
One happy young face before,
Looks back, between cloud and DRIFT,
With sudden smile, and is seen no more;
And the pilgrim follows, swift
as flash OF tie MONDAY light;
With wall and reproach, and shout, ---
He follows, through day and night,
Till again the lace peeps ont.
This iairest sister Of all @s
Will laugh in the old mans face,
Will challenge him onward, with merry call,
To measure with her a race,
Till, weary and lame, he falls
Amid rOse-buds and springing fern.
She flies with the wind he calls, 49,
But never viii she return. -
E-Erf ~ ~. -
For the pale-faced pilgrim without
Is Winter, the lonesome king,
Calling back to Autumn with dreary shout,
. And hTIrrying on toward Spring.
As Summer rules over the flowers,
Over ice and snow reigns he.
LOl there at the pane he glOwers,
And shakes his white scepter-seei
