18th. Depend, without overseeing them
on the fidelity OF your day lahorers. There
is an old story about hirelings-now, as
in the past, they wait for the sun to &c
down. Poor things! They wish to 90
home. Perfectly natural. 1t is sign
they are quite domestic, which, you know,
is an excellent quality in the family.
10Th. If you want steady help, take
the first " Tramp that comes along if he
will work. which is doubtful. 1t will be
/ cheap bargain; for, probably he will 90
off unpaid and only carry some tritles with
him that you don't want much, and won
miss until he is gone.
10Th. You should prove your indoor
economy to be equal to that without, by
adopting the proverbial system of saving
Mt the spigot, while you let your liquid run
purposely out at the bung, seeing that
wholesale is better than retail; and both
together best of all.

pair the breaks in the roof or sides of your
house or barn. In good weather it would

A leak can be easily stopped by putting
some good-for-nothing rags into it, When
dried they will be improved for the paper
maker, and may be sold to the tin peddler
for tin whistes-a choice article for the
children, and havn't they wants? No fear
for rags-you are in fair way to have
enough more. Illeness is said to clothe n
man with them. Worst come to worst,
you must be badly off if yon can't move
your chair or your bed to some spot where
the rain won't wet you much, for one day
or night. The storm can't last more than
twenty four hours-a mere trifle compared
with the whole year You will literally
obey the command ITO take no thought

other haunt of loafers. Then. you see

poses and ends This is preferable to all
they can gather from literary periodicals;
mark that. Preserve your old habits,
with which you are covered as modern
heroes are with glory. In good sooth,
your blue-laws and blue-lights do some
times twit you about Your antique and
steady habits. Now, | count habits are
commendable or discommandable only as
they are good or bad. And using my
Yankee privilege, / rather guess your

intelligent agriculturistS, for on that the
success greatly depends.
