HOW TO KEEP BOYS on THE FARM.

Prof Beal of the Michigan Agricultural
Farm. says
1t Is natural for parents to prefer that
their children should follow the same busi-
ness or profession that they themselves fol-
low. This is likely to be true of shoe
makers, merchants, millers, capenters, etc.
Farmers are not exceptions to this rule.
Farming, when well conducted, is a
good and pleasant business. If our sons
and daughters do not like it, there is al
most always some good reason for their
dislike | have often taken an interest in
tracing out the reasons. They are likely
to dislike farming because they are not
pleased with the way In which their pa
rents have managed 1t. In some cases
the young person has very decided in
cinaton To some other business
If you want to make your son like his
business place him in responsible places,
trust him, consult him about the work he
is to do. Let him do part of the thinking.
Give him nearly the sole care or response
biity of something on the farm, the fowls,
the pigs, some OF the stock, some of the
crops, or the garden, or part of it,. Sup
pose he does not do everything just as you
would; advise him. 1t is much better
that he should tail while he is Vet young
and has time to learn under your train
ing, than to not try or fail till he goes
into business for himself. By treating
children in this way they will take more
interest in their work, and be much more
likely to succeed when they start tor them
selves. DO not make slaves OF your
children.
To many of our most prominent farmers
farmers who are called the most sue
cesslul send their children to work every
day AS they would send an ignoramus,
without any Ifs or "ands," or reasons
for SO doing.
For want OF proper training in this re-
spect. many young man has grown up
without mental dicipline. He has been
able without much help, in an incredibly
short space OF time, to run through all
that his strong minded father left him.
Twenty years ago | knew such man.
His farm was called and known as per-
lection for long distance around. He
had son, who is to-day living in sight of
this old farm. He owns only poor span
of horses, and is living fiom hand to
mouth; and very poor living he gets at
that The fine estate slipped easily and
rapidly from the hands OF the man who
had no skill to manage it, because he had
never been placed in responsible positions
while he was boy. So too often one gen.
GRAFTON makes money for the next to
squander In laying up comfortable for
tunes for our children to waste we are do
ing them a great injury. Better by far to
spend more OF our Time in giving them
proper dicipline to manage well. Then,
it they are healthy, in most cases, they
need only little start TO make them well
off in the goods OF this world
Let farming be conducted on thorough
business principles as manufacturing aud
commerce are and ever have been, and it
| will become more attractive, both to boys
and men. AN

THE RACE WITH TIME.

Wilt thou not awaken. Bride of May,
While flowers are fresh and the sweet bells chime
Waken and learn from my roundeay,
How all Life's pilot boats sailed one day,
match with Time
Love sat on a lotus leaf afoat,
nd saw old Time in his loaded boat;
Slowly he crossed Lfes sparkling tide,
While Love sat happing his wings, and cried
Who will pass Time :"
Patience came first, but soon was gone
With helm and sail to help Time on;
Care and Grief could not lend an oar,
And Prudence said, while she stayed on shore:
81 wait for Time
Hope loaded with flowers her cork tree bark,
Aud lighted its helm with the glow worms spark; ;
Then Love, when she saw her bark fly fast,
Cried; Lingering Time will soon be passed,
Hope outspeeds Time
Wit went nearest, old Time to pass,
With his diamond oar and boat Of glass,
A feathery dart from his store be drew,
And crying, while far and swift it few
"Mirth kills Time"
But Time sent the feathery arrow back, e
Hopes boat OF amaranth missed the track;
1 hen Love bade her butterfly pilots move,
Aud laughiugly said "rhey shall see how Love
Can conquer Time
Her gossamer sails she spread with speed,
But Time has wings when Time as need;
swiftly he crossed Life's narrow tide, a.
And only Memory stayed to chde .a.f
Implying Time.
Wake and listen, then, Bride of MAY,
Listen and heed thy minstrel's rhyme,
Still for thee some bright hours play,
For 1t was hand like thine, they say,
Gave wings to Time.
