Little by Little.

If you are gaining little by little
every day, be content. Are your
expenses less than your income, SO
that, though it be little, you are yet
constantly accommodating and grow,
ing richer and richer every dayi
Be content; so far as concerns mon
ey, you are doing well.
Are you gaining knowledge every
day? Though it be little by little
the aggregate of the accumulation,
where no day is permitted to pass
without adding something to the
stock, will be surprising to yourself.
Solomon did not become the
wisest man in the world in a minute.
Little by little-never emitting to
learn something, even for a single
day-always reading, always study
ing q little between the time of
rising up in the morning and lay
ing down at night; this is the way
to accumulate full storehouse of
knowledge. Finally, are you daily
improving in character? Be not
discouraged because it is little by
little. The best men fall far short
of what they themselves would wish
to be. 1t is something, it is much
ii you keep good resolutions better
to-day than you did yesterday, bet
ter this week than you did last, bet
ter this year than You did last year.
Strive to be perfect, but do not be
come downhearted so lorg as you
are approaching nearer and nearer
to the high standard at which you
aim.
Little by little, fortunes are ac-
cumulated; little by little, knowl-
edge is gained; little by little, char
acter and reputation are achieved.

Out Door Safety.

The fear of the weather has sent
multitudes to the grave, who other
wise might have lived in health
many years longer. The fierce
north wind, the furious snow storm.
kill comparatively few, while hot
winter rooms and crisping summer
suns have countless hecatombs OF
human victims to attest their power.
Except in localities where malig-
nant miasms prevail, and that only
in warm weather, out door life is
healthiest and happiest, from the
tropics to the poles.
The general fact speaks for itself,
that persons who are out of doors
most take cold least. In some
parts of our country, near one half
of the adult deaths are from dis
eases of the air passages. These
ailments arise from taking cold in
some way or other; and surely the
reader will take some interest in a
subject which by at least one chance
out of four, his life may be lost.
All colds arise from one of two
causes.
l. By getting cool too quick af-
ter exercise, either as to the whole
body, or any part of it.
2. By being chilled, and remain
ing SO for long time, from want of
exercise.
To avoid cold from the former,
we have only to go to a fire the
moment the exercises cease in the
winter. q. L. in summer, repair at
once to closed room, and there
remain with the same clothing on
until cooled of.
To avoid colds from the latter
cause, and these engendersthe most
speedily fatal diseases, such as plue-
risy, Group and Inflammation of
the lungs, called Pneumonia, we
have only to COMPEL ourselves to
walk with sufficient vigor to keep
of feeling of chilliness. Atten-
tion to precept contained in less
than a dozen words would add
twenty years to the average of civil
lied life.
Keep away chilliness by exercise;
cool off slowly. Then you will new
er take cold, in doors or out.-HalPs

An Extract.

The great curse, the curse of all
curses that affiict humanity to-day,
is intelnperance in the use of intox-
icating drinks. War, pestilence
and famine are as nothing at all to
this foul, insinuating disease, that
degrades the body and destroys the
soul. The tears it has wrung from
broken hearts would make a sea
the crime it has created would fill
hell; the disease it is the author OF
would make the earth a loathsome
pest-house of foul disorders. And
yet Christ did not denounce intern
perance, because he struck at its
root in the selfishness of the money
getter who trafiics for gain on the
miseries of humanity, and the self
ishness of the man who walks over
broken hearts to the qualification
of vile passion.
Small wonder that women grow
frantic and good men wild in the
face of this terrible curse; for the
drunkards grave is found in the ut
ter ruin of the household. Could
it be arrested, peace would fall like
sunlight on our homes; our prisons
would be almost deporulated and
poor houses needless.
God give us wisdom to treat and
strength to conquer this horrible
curse, that misery may be lifted
from the wife, wretchedness from
the children and agony from gray
hairsl

How to Get Rich.

A practical farmer being asked
what the farmers most needed to
increase the value of their lands
crops and herds, they want" said
he, ...just what the merchants, the
manufacturers, and the mechanics
want, just what the railroad men,
the lumber men, and the mining
men want, they want labor, capital
and brains. There is not farmer
in the State but will stand an APP
plication of this trio-work, money
and thought" We asked him again,
what simple and easy methods he
would recommend to the farmers
from which they could get the
quickest returns, and he replied +:
First, / would recommend that
every cow in the State be crossed
by a thoroughbred bull. l calcu-
late that would add $1,50O,O00 to
the wealth of the State in two years,
and that it would double the value
of the cattle of the State in four
years. Second, Iwould cross every
breeding eve in the State with a
thoroughbred ram of approved
pedigree, and l calculate that it
would add one pound of wool to
every shearing in two years, besides
the focks in many re
spects. You can calculate the gain
yourself. Third, l would have every
farmer select his seeds of every
grain, especially of wheat and corn
that is, to pick out the best and
discard the inferior. The profit
would be immense, for there is no
telling how much can be gained by
the selection of Seeds" Now here
are three things within the reach OF
almost every farmer They require
a little money, some work and
good deal of nerve and will power.
Was the old man right? Let every
farmer adopt these precepts and
then contradict them-if he can.

An acre of ordinary ground, with
a few loads OF manure, will produce
two hundred bushels of Irish pota-
toes. At the present prices-60
cents per bushel-they would bring
Sls0, and find a ready market at
that price. Suppose you put that
acre in corn, with the same amount
of manure, and you can not produce
more than fifty bushels This at 90
cents per busbd, would come to SIS
difference in favor of the potato
crop S95. Right in the face of this
fact, most of US, every year pay
from $3.50 to $500 a bushei for
Northern potato seed, while we sell
our corn at so cents per bushel. Is
this business2 The trouble with
most Of us is that we all despise
the day of little things, when they
would pay much bstter than big
things.

A refined man is never ''loud'' in
his dress, for refinement is always
allied to simplicity and a judicious
and tasteful employment of the
means of the good and happiness
which it has at command. 1t seeks
to divest itself of superhuities, and
aspires continually to the utmost
possible purity. Refinement leads
to personal cleanliness and elegant
neatness, good taste and simplicity.
Needless display and bashfulness
are alike repugnant to its spirit.

The Granger.


Somebody sends the Marietta
Journal the following article, which
recently appeared in the Southern
Cultivator. 1t is worth a wide cir
culation, and we give it the benefit
of ours:
s'When 1 lived on my farm, l at
tended to my own business 10 per-
son-overseeing my overseer and
everything else, and l prospered at
it in everything and in every year.
/ had plenty for man and beast, and
sold more of other things than l did
of cotton. l sold corn and fodder,
and wheat and oats, and barley and
potatoes, together with beef, bacon,
lard, mutton, wool, DC. | may add
we had geese, ducks, peafowls, tur-
keys, with from $50 to 800 chick
ems, kept at night in a mink proof
and negro proof hen house. We
also had many hives of bees. Mr..
Editor, did you ever tire of milk
and honey, or butter and eggs? If
| ever did, l do not now, for in an
evil hour 1 left my farm and re-
moved to town, and the farm and
all things on it felt the change. Do
you know a thrifty farmer who
lives in town? 1 don t. From that
100 head, my cattle fell to less than
40. Hogs from 800 to 100. Sheep
from So to Z, chiefly by dogs. (yet
we cannot get dog law.) Geese
from 40 to 3 or 4 desolate old gan
ders, too tough for Cuffee's teeth.
Bee hives from Is to 90 down to 3
or 4, and they saved in a pine pole
pen, under a lock and key. The
negroes said the overseer's wife ate
and sold all of the chickens, and
she said the darkies devoured them;
and so on of everything. The pros
pect, that the cultivator helped me
SO much to achieve, all gone. Now
regretful memories crowd upon me
in my moody moments. But L will
never again be troubled in seeing
the stills of my barn bending under
the weight of 800 or 1000 bushels
of wheat. l am in town, however,
tremendously respectable, (if it
were a negotiable commodity, 1
would exchange some responsibility
for bread and butter) ! wear ''store
instead of walnut brown
home made jeans, as formerly, and
/ eat "town victuals,'' such as it is.
But let me whisper word in your
ear, and don't let it go out: to kill
q chicken is as great an event
now as it was to slaughter an OK
when 1 lived at the plantation. l !
have ceased to wonder at Jacobs |
children longing for the leeks and |
onions of Egypt. If l could shake
off few years from my shoulders,
would fly to my farm and prosper
again, as l did while ON it, for 2
and 2 will always make 4 while the
world stands. Any farmer who is
willing to live hard for a year or
,wo, then buy for cash, pay no in
crest or credit prices, will thrive, if
he works and manages WE'LL"

woman's Love of Appreciation.

Woman was not made to live
alone any more than man. All
the actions of woman, whether OF
useful industry or of ornament, are
subject to the approval and pleas
ure of the sterner sex to which their
own are subordinate and on which
they are founded. To descend to
the humblest form of this feeling;
every one knows that when a wo-
man has arrayed herself in pretty
dress and new ribbons, or any finery,
put on for the first time, although
the admiration of her female
friends may give a degree of pleas
ure, is as nothing compared to the
light that comes into the eye Of one
whose smallest compliment is more
valued than that of a thousand wo-
men; and this feeling modified by
the circumstances of individuals,
runs through the whole sex and is
a part Of the nature of their being,
implanted in the heart by the Di-
vine Artificer to produce the most
delicious fruits that grow in the
garden of human life.
Women by themselves require
little to be comfortable; they can
live without ostentation, hustle or
form; neither in beauty of raiment
nor in delicacy of food can they
find happiness, so long as they have
it to themselves alone. They re-
quire to please the other sex before
they can please themselves. A
knot of old maids may, to be sure,
be bitterly merry over their tea and
gossip, and outwardly despise all
men with profound disdain; but
there is something very unnatural
in that enjoyment, nor does any
body suppose that the respectable
spinster's heart bounds with such
a sweet human delight at the COM
pliment of her female friends on
her neat room, her pet spaniel and
strong tea, as the heart of the good
wife when her husband tells her
how nicely she has cooked his sup
per and how sweet and pretty she
looks in that new dress. 1t matters
not whether her husband be the
master of million, or salaried
clerk; whether his days be spent in
the sports of the field, the drudgery
of a profession or the labor of a |
farm; the pleasure of wife and the |
object of all her work is to have a |
table comfortably spread on his |
return, and to see that he enjoys |
the delicacies or the necessities |
which she has provided for him;
whether the provisions be merely
plain fare and a snow white table
cloth, or the rich soup, the superb
oint and the exquisite dessert, both
women in their different positions
ook not to, think not of, what they
are preparing, only as far as it will
20 towards pleasing the lord and
master of their homes and hearts.

HARoLINE HAROLD, EDITOR
A Cheerful Face.

Carry the radiance of your SOU
in your face. Let the world have
the benefit of it. Let your cheer
fulness be felt for good wherever
you are, and let your smiles be
scattered like sunbeams "on the
just as well as the unjust" Such
a disposition will yield a rich re-
ward, for its happy effects viii come
home to you and brighten your
moments of thought. Cheerfulness
makes the mind clear, gives tone
to thought, adds grace and beauty
to the contenance. Joubert says /;
When you give, give with joy,
smiling" Smiles are little things,
cheap articles, to be fraught with
so many blessings, both to the Civ
er and receiver-pleasant little rip
pies to watch as we stand on the
shore of every day life. These
are higher and better responses OF
nature to the emotion OF the soul.
Let the children have the benefit of
little ones who need
the sunshine of the heart to educate
them, and would find level for
their bouyant nature in the cheer
full loving faces of those who need
them. Let them not be kept from
the middle aged, who need the
encouragement they bring. Give
your smiles also to the aged. They
come to them like the quiet rain of
summer, making fresh and verdant
the long, weary path of life. They
look for them from you, who are
in the fullness of life.

You boys ought to be very kind
to your sisters. once knew a lit
tie boy who struck his sister blow
over the eye. Although she didn't
slowly pine away and die in the
early sumner time, when the June
roses were blowing, with words of
sweet forgiveness on her paliid
lips, she rose up and hit him over
the head with the rollingpin, so that
he couldn't go to Sunday school for
more than a month, on account of
not being able to put his best hat on.

Fresh Air.

What excuse can there be for IN
aired rooms, when air is so cheap
and free? There is death in I'M
aired chambers. Better a swarm of
flies or cloud of dust; better frost
or snow in a room, than those in
tolerable smells. The first thing in
the morning, when you are ready to
go down stairs, throw open your
windows, take apart the clothing of
your bed, and let the air blow
through it as hard as it will.
