A GREAT FARMERS MAxIMs.-The sue.
cessful life of Mr.. Jacob Strawn, the prince of
American farmers, is attributed to the close
observation of the following maxims, origl.
mated by himself:
Be sure to get your hands to bed by seven
o'clock-they will rise early by force of cir
cumstances.
Pay a hand, if he is a poor hand, all you
promise him; if he is good one, pay him
little more it will encourage him to do still
better.
Always feed your hands as we'll as you feed
yourself, for the laboring men are the bone
and sinew of the land, and ought to be well
treated.
I am satisfied that getting up early, indus
try and regular habits, are the best medicines
prescribed for health.
When bad, rainy weather comes, so you
can't work out of doors, cut, split and haul
your wood, make your racks, fix your fences
or gates, and patch the roof of your barn or
house.
Study your own interests closely, and do
not spend your time in electing Presidents,
Governors or other smaller officers, or talk of
hard times and spend your time in whiting
store boxes.
Take your time and make calculations; do
things in hurry, but do them at the proper
time, and keep your mind as we'll as your
body employed.

s.MOTHER,s FOOL.n

"'Tis plain to me-" said the farmers wife.
"These boys will make their mark in life;
They never were made to handle hoe,
And at once to school they ought to go.
Yes John and Henry, It's clear to me,
Great men in this world are sure to be;
But Tom he's little above fool
So John and Henry went to school.
"Now, really, wife," quoth Farmer Brown,
AS he sets his mug of cider down,
''Tom does more work in day for me
Than both of his brothers do in three.
Book learnin' will never plant beans or corn,
Nor hoe potatoes, sure as you are born
Nor mend a rod of broken fence;
For my part give me common sense"
But his wife the roast was bound to rule,
And so "the boys" were sent to school;
While Tom, of course, was left behind,
For his mother said he had no mind.
Five years at school the students spent,
Then each one into business went.
John learned to play the flute and fiddle,
And parted his hair (of course in the mlddle;)
Though his brother looked rather higher than he,
And hung out his shingle-"H. Brown, M. d.
Meanwhile, at home, their brother Tom
Had taken "notion" into his head,
Though he said not word, but trimmed his trees,
And hoed his corn and sowed his peas;
But somehow, either by "hook or crook
He managed to read full many book.
Well, the war broke, out, and Captain Tom,"
To battle hundred soldiers led;
And when the enemy's flag went down,
Came marching home as General Brown.
But he went to work on the farm again,
Planted his corn and sowed his grain,
Repaired the house and broken fence,
And people said he had common sense"
Now common sense was rather rare,
And the State House needed portion there;
So our "family Ounce moved into town,
And they called him "Governor Brown"
And his brothers, that went to the city to school,
Came home to live with "mother's fool.'

THE CHILDREN.
BY CHARLES DICKENS.

When the lessons and tasks are all ended
And the school for the day is dismissed,
And the little Oles gather around me
To bid me good night and be kissed,
Oh, the little white arms that encircle
My neck in a tender embrace!
Oh the smiles that are halOs of Heaven,
Shedding sunshine Of love on my face.
And when they are gone, sit dreaming
OF my childhood, too lovely to last;
OF love that my heart will remember,
When it wakes to the pulse Of the past,
Ere the world and its wickedness made me
A partner of sorrow and sin;
When the glory OF God was about me,
And the glory of gladness within.
Oh, nv heart grows weak as wom&n's,
And the fountains of feeling will flow,
AS think of the paths steep and stony,
Where the feet of the dear ones must go;
OF the mountains of sin hanging Ger them,
or the tempest of fate blowing wild!
Oh, there is nothing on earth half so holy
As the innocent heart of a child!
The twig is so easily bended,
| have banished the rule and the rod,
1 have taught them the goodness of knowledge
They have taught me the goodness OF God.
MY heart is dungeon of darkness
Where shut them from breaking rule,
NV frown is sufficient correction,
My love is the law Of the school.
shall leave the old house in the autumn,
To traverse it's Threshold no more;
All! how I shall sigh for the dear ones
That meet me each morn at the door.
shall miss the good nights and the kisses,
And the gush of their innocent glee,
The group on the green, and the flowers
That are brought every morning to me.
1 shall miss them at noon and at eve,
Their song in the school and the street;
I shall miss the low hum of their voices
And the tramp Of their delicate feet.
When the lessons and tasks are all ended,
And Death says, 1.-The school is dismissed
May the little ones gather around me
TO bid me good night land be kissed"

CHUFAs.-The planting and raising of chu.
fas gains more favor with our farmers, as
they find it is not an expensive crop, and are
found to be valuable for hogs and chickens.
They f.tten hogs and cause hens to lay.
What more is needed ? Plant the seed in a
shallow drill, some two feet apart, dropping
them about ten or twelve inches apart, cover
ing them with plow. They spread rapidly
under the surface, sending up new shoots, and
produce astonishingly. Some farmers have
experimental with the tops for hay, and find
it answers very we'll. Some, after the tops are
dead, have portable pen which they move
about the field, keeping their hogs in it, and
moving about as the chufas are rooted up.
After trying them, chickens eat them with
nvidity. Chufas require but little eultva-
ton.

MANURING FRUIT TREES.

1t may not be supposed that it is necessary
to tell people they ought to manure their fruit
trees, for ours and other agricultural papers
have often urged this upon them. The expe-
rience of all is that orchards are almost uni
versally neglected, and experience equally
universal shows that it is only by calling re-
peated attention to these matters that people
will do better. We do so now because this is
particularly good time to attend to such
work.
When the trees are small and crops are
cultivated and manured among them, they
catch the benefit from portion of the tertll-
izers; but when the trees grow 50 that the
branches meet, crops cannot be grown to ad'
vantage any more, and then, too often, manu-
ring in the orchard stops forever, and the trees
commence to 60 backward ever afterward /;
the leaves get yellow, the fruit poor and knot
ty, and much falls off before half maturing,
and the worms take possession of the trees
and hold on till one by one the trees die out
and farmers wonder why their trees are not
as thrifty as their neighbours who looks after
and manures his trees every season.
Dirt hauled from proper draining and
ditching of your roads from around stumps,
fence corners, deposits of washings, ashes from
the house-especially cob ashes-soapsuds,
rotten leaves and chips, will make good dress
ings for your trees, and you will see the ad-
vantage, from year to year, to repay you for
all your attention, labor and expense upon
your trees.-Our Home Journal.

A GOOD TEMPERANCE TALE.

From Ohio comes a capital temperance
story Judge Quay, the temperance lec-
turer, in one of his efforts there, got off the
following:
Gall of those who in youth acquire habit
of drinking whisky, at forty years will be to-
tai abstainers or drunkards. No one can use
whisky for years in moderation. If there is
a person in the audience before me whose ex-
perience disputes this, let him make it known.
+ will account for it, or acknowledge that L
am mistaken"
A tall, large man arose, and folding his
arms in digni6ed manner across his breast,
said:
81 offer myself as one whose own expe-
rience contradcts your statement"
"Are you a moderate drinker?" asked
the Judge.
81 am"
"How long have you drank in modera-
tion?"
"Forty years"
"And you were never intoxicatedr
"Never."
"Well," remarked the Judge, scanning his
subject close from head to foot, "yours is a
singular case, yet think it is easily account
ed for. I am reminded of it by little story.
A colored man, with loaf of bread and a
flask of whisky, sat down to dine by the bank
of clear stream. In breaking the bread,
some of the crumbs dropped into the water.
These were eagerly seized and eaten by the
fish. That circumstance suggested to the
colored man, the idea of dipping the bread
in the whisky and feeding it to them. He
tried it; it worked we'll. Some of the fish
ate it, became drunk and lay helpless on the
water. By this stroke of strategy be caught
a great number But in the stream was q
large fish very unlike the rest. He partook
freely of the bread and whisky, but with no
perceptible effect; he was shy of every effort
of the colored man to take it.
"He resolved to have it at all hazards, that
he might learn its name and nature. he pro-
cured net, and after much effort caught it,
carried it to a neighbor, and asked his opin-
ion of the matter. The other surveyed the
wonder for moment, and then said, 4 un-
derstand this case. That fish is mullet
head it hasn't got any brains.'
"In other words" added the judge, "alco-
hol affects only the brain, and, of course,
those having none may drink without in.

The storm of laughter that followed drove
the moderate drinker suddenly from the
house
