Keeping Accounts on the Farm.

This is far too generally neglected, and
on this account many opportunities oil
curtailing expenses pass by unnoticcd
while the actual value of the products
of farming are generally, in such cases,
greatly undervalued. The best house.
keepers in cities and villages keep a
strict account of their purchases and OK
penses, and any petty storekeeper who
neglected to keep an account OF bis bust
ness Transitions would inevitably soon
become bankrupt. Not long since a
clerk in store at Boston with salary
of 81 900 year, finding his health in
iured by confinement, invested his little
savings in small farm, and during the
following year charged himself with all
the produce of the farm used in his fam
lily at the same prices be would have
paid for the articles in the city. At the
close of the year he found that the credit
in favor Of bis farm amounted to nearly
$1,000, and above all expenses he bad
saved 500 in money, and recovered his
health thoroughly. He has no iDclina-
ton, however, to return to his depend
ent position; and is DOW firm in the faith
that farming pays. The business prip-
ciples be brought TO his undertaking
made up for his deficiencies in skill and
and while the former will
always be Of advantage to him, the lat
ter will be yearly increased.

The Mean Small BOy.

The mean small boy is different from
the mean big boy, because all of biz
tricks are calculated to make other
hearts ache. He now takes a silver
quarter and makes it fast to a string, and
to see him hanging about the post Office
one would set him down q boy who
never had an evil thought. He selects
a victim and drops the quarter where il
will do the most good. The ring of the
metal commands attention at once, and
the programme is carried out at once rs
in case yesterday. The victim was a
short man, with very red neck, and
when he heard the quarter drop he clap
ped his hand on his pocket and looked
around.
Did you drop quarter p mildly asked
the mean small boy, pointing to one on
the stone floor:
'Ah ! must be hole in my pocket,
replied the fat man, as be pulled up the
knees of his pants and bent over to pick
it up,
He had his fingers on the money
when it slid away, and as be straight
ened up he was greeted wish fendish
chucklcs from half dozen mean big
and small boys, one of whom inquired :
Which pocket had hole in itg'
Tho man didn't say. For some inex-
plicable reason he refused TO enter into
any explanation, but fastened away

why Utica Man GrumbIed Even in Heaven.

Why Utica Man Grumbied Even in Heaven
Many of our citizens will remember q
man named Baker, who owned few
feet horses, and did not live very many
miles from Utica. He was good
enough man as the world goes, but q
chronic grumbler and fusser, and
would not allow himself to be pleased q
he was given half of the county. Baker
died not very long ago from the effects
of an accident, and his neighbors felt
considerable curiosity in regard to his
welfare-whether be or not would be
better pleased in the other world than
be was In this one. To test the question,
few of them interviewed an exper-
/ fenced spirit medium named Chester, if
possible to find show about it, and the
result of the interview has been given
to Herald reporter. The medium en-
deavored in vain to "raise" Baker, but
succeeded in calling up spirit friend
who bore the euphonious name OF Buck
in this world. In reply to interroga-
tons Buck SAID he had met Baker but
once and be was the same old stick,
grumbling, growing, and finding fault
with everything even in heaven. The
spirit Buck said he was somewhat anus
ed and surprised at Bakers conduct,a
then told this story:
ain floating around space and look
ing among the angels for friends from
New York, Utica, Rochester, Buffalo,
Cleveland, and other places, 1 came
across Baker, and expressed astonish-
ment that he was there, to which he re-
piled, IF had my own way | wouldn't
be here at all but my 2:22 marc ran
away the other day and broke my neck,
and here am, 80 suppose l have got
to stay Well, remarked, this is
pretty nice place, and now that you are
here for good, tell me how you like it.
Like itp | don't like it bit, and |
wish was back on earth again What
is the matter with this place, l said
don't you find everything bright and
pleasing? NO don't growled Baker:
things don't suit me here at all Why,
when came up through the clouds it
rsined like scratch and l got all wet and
cold, the tightening nearly tore me to
pieces, the thunder made me deaf, and
then this bright light all around here
has nearly blinded me, and besides all
that, this darned halo, don't fit worth
cent? found it was useless to attempt
10 make Baker happy, so l left him to
his fate"
Medium Chester's seance pleased
Bakers Utica friends very much, and
now when any of their friends come
around grumbIing over triAes they in

''ah how Sophia, can you leave
Your lover, and OF hope bereave
Go fetch the Indians borrowed plume
Yet richer far than tia; your bloom:
I'm hut = lodger IN your heart.
And more than one, fear have part %
Now, in reading the above there Is
nothing particular TO be seen and when
tho words are sung as DR.. CalIcott inien-
ded they should be, there is much to
hear for one singer seems to render the
first three words thus: "a house O fire."

Of cockneyism fire, fire. Another voice
calls out Justify, "Go fetch tho engines,

he does not care whether the

will give pretty good idea
Of the real meaning and character of q
