q general air of thrift will be observa-
BILE, not only about the homestead, but
over the farm.
In this, we do not mean to assert that
the simple possession of the tools
necessary to do odd jobs, will accom-
plish all this; but the handling of tools
soon gets . common-sense man con-
versant with their use, and the inves-
LEGATIONS necessary to enable man to
do the work intelligently, broadens the
mind, and one soon comes to see where
money may be saved in many direc-
tions, and how easy it is to make all
things tidy about the house and place,
and also, where tie profit comes in, in
rendering the stock about the farm
comfortable.
These may seem like small econo-
mics. In truth they are; but it is these
small economies that go to swell the
profits of the farm, just as in any other
industry in life. 1t is, in fact, attention
to small economies that make the pros
ecutiOn of business successful in its best

lruer than men axe tO the friend below:

Seems nearest t. the earth:

And feel the summer clouds 20 drifting by.
And low sweet voices echo in their ear
How far from us they arc.-tO Heaven 10 near!

Far from the ways Of men:
On Arth's kind breast shall not he afraid,
For close tn her warm heart I've often laid
NV tired head and she has sung to me
Such songs of rest that none could swccter be,
And IN the white stone standing Mt my head,
What date shall carven he,
One sweet. brief summer hence: oh, blossoms
dead.
What do YOU dream IF. in your earthly bed?
Or shall the years I've many. ere lie
With grass between me and the tender skys
What does it matter: have nought to fear.

With blossoms blowing. and the robins near.
Or warm white above me. l shall hear

An Alpine Avalanche.

In the summer Of 1864, party of tourists,
while visiting the Alps, climbed, with great
difficulty, to an elevated and snOw-cOvered
plateau, In order to obtain better view Of
Swiss scenery, and contrast the beauty and
richness OF midsummer below with the bleak
ness and sterility of midwinter around and
above them In play they rolled the moist
edge of the plateau. In falling It struck soft.
er snow, which immediately gave way, and
soon an avalanche was tearing down the moun.
tatn-side, burying and destroying everything
in its course. As the handful Of snow became
the irresistible avalanche, so the hacking cough
with sore throat and Catarrh, 1t neglected,
speedily develops into that dread destroyer,

Winter Farm Economies.

THERE are 80 many things that the
farmer may do at home, in his own
workshop, as we'll as another can do it
for him, that it is surprising that so few
are without a kit of wood working
tools, shoeing hammer, some horse
nails, pinchers for iron, copper, rivets,
screws and other necessary articles as
will enable him to complete many a
handy job without the Intervention of
the carpenter. The time required to
do the work will often be found to be
less than that spent in going to and
from the mechanics place of business.
Thus with a few tools the wood work
of harrows, plows, cultivators and other
tools about the farm may be repaired.
BY having'a few extra handles Of forks
and other implements on hand, these
may be cheaply repaired and made as
good as new.
Wagon tongues, and many other du-
plicates for farm vehicles and machines,
are now prepared SO as to require but
little fitting. In the case of machines,
all that is necessary, as rule, is simply
to fasten them in place. In doing this
the farmer not only renders himself
handy with tools, but at the same time
he becomes thoroughly conversant with
the working parts of each individual
machine-no small matter to the prac-
teal man. In fact every farmer ought
to be able to take apart, and put to-
gether intelligently, any machine on
the farm. Unless this be the case, they
cannot be worked as economically as
they should be.
While the farmer is thus educating
himself, he will come to see the neces-
sity and economy of having everything
in its place, and place for everything,
when not in use, and when in use they
will be just in place. Sohe will come to
occupy his leisure hours in repairs of
various kinds. Barn and stable doors
that are getting shaky on their hinges
will be repaired at once. If he burn
wood. and large proportion of the farm
ers of the West still do SO, it will be pre-
pared and piled secure from rain, and
with proper ventilation, SO it may dry
perfectly. If he burn coal, q proper
shed will be built to keep it dry. The
pumps about the place will always
draw. Water troughs will never have
sloughs of mud about them in soft
weather to mire stock, nor glare ice in
bad weather, to MAIN them. Sheds will
be made comfortable. The best facilities
will gradually be accumulated for &C.

and should not have given up my sur.
vigilance even then if l had not seen

tinguished, and the outer door closed
for the night.
A whole week passed, and not once
had the lovers met. Leslie kept away
and Lucy looked almost broken-hearted
as she went and came daily in the per.
Torrance of her duties.
Once or twice had detected the
young man locking up anxiously at hel
window is he passed the house, but he
made no effort to enter. and, stranger
still, he seemed to have given up writ
ing to her. No more long and careful
ly-prepared letters occupied his leisure
hours, and / was just beginning to thinl
that the whole affair had been safel,
nipped in the bud, when, one unlucks
day, Mrs. Brown went to make brie
visit to her sister in the country (st
Rosa learned from her maid), and
within an hour from the time of her de
parture, u bulky letter, in one of Les
lies horrid yellow envelopes, was hand
ed to Lucy Barrett by that treacherou
waiter, who had doubtless been bribet
to secrecy.
That evening witnessed the lovers
reunion, and poor Mrs. Browns re
monstrances were utterly disregarded
if not forgotten, as I felt certain wher
saw once more the mingling shadow.

That was . very unfortunate evening
