The Value and Pleasure Of Agriculture.

The chief desire of man or a wo-
next to be happy A mans first duty is
to mankind; and the next is to himself;
and the greatest happiness to a good
man is to be of use to and serve his fell
low creatures. In doing this the man
helps himself at the same time. The
production of food and the materials for
clothing, is the business of the farmer.
No other employment can be so useful
as this; and in this lies the value of ag
riculture to the world. No other en-
ployment is so full of pleasure as
agriculture, when it is rightly pursued.
1t is, then, not n laborious work merely
of the hands, but healthful, pleasant
labor; full of the most agreeable enjoy
ment; because in the work of the garden
and the field. the farmer is brought face
to face with the works and the
beauties of nature and finds, in
the sprouting of seed, the growth
of plants. the maturity and ripening
of vegetation, the growth of his animals,
the delights of the changing seasons,
which bring to him ceaseless round of
wor,, that is both interesting and profit
able: in all these he finds food for
thought and means for instruction. In
short, a good and successful farmor, i'll
his daily practice, becomes acquainted
with many of the wonders of science
which appear to him more clearly than
to any other man, if he will only take
the trouble to open his eyes, and turn his
mind to the examination of them. 1t is
a great thing to think of, that the farmer
feeds the world; that of all men he
is the most important to the comfort,
wealth and happiness of the human race;
that his influence, if it is exerted for good
increases the enjoyment of mankind,
and the result of his work is to
set in motion the wheels of all the facto
ries and locomotives in the world; to fill
the freight cars; to load the Ships to
give employment in one way or another
miner; to every lawyer and doctor; to
provide in fact for the means Of carry
ing on every honorable and profitable in
dustry. No youth or young man or
woman can find better, happier, more
noble. or when well-conducted, more
profitable work than that of the farm.
1t is work; there is no doubt of that.
But the man who is employed honestly
is the true happy man. 1t is the idle
and vicious who are unhappy. We are
told by the wisest of men, that "the sleep
of the laboring man is sweet" and no
one sleeps and rests more sweetly than
the boy or the man who has spent his
day in the corn field, the hay field or at
the pillow; or the girl who has done her
share in the dairy, in the care of poultry,
in her household duties.- Rural New
Yorker.

Where are the Boys .

"a Sad Observer" writes OF the multi
tudes of idle boys, many OF them sons OF
worthy parents, who are seen loating
about the country towns-boys who are
out at night, and who prefer the street to
the attractions of the most pleasant
homes. There is great deal about this
subject that is difficult. The serious
difficulty is found at the beginning, that
the training of children is always an eX-
pertinent made without experience. One
must live a life to know how to live.
After sons and daughters are grown,
character formed, and destiny fore
Swallowed, it is easy for the parents to
look back and discover where they have
erred in their training-but it is
very difficult, nay. impossible to
human wisdom, to foresee and avoid
those errors. Sometimes Il boy who is
carefully and strictly trained will fly off
as soon as that restraint is withdrawn, rs
it sooner or later must be. into ways of
dissipation; and hence parents lose faith
in vigorous control. These cases are,
however, exceptional. There are a few
general rules and principles which
should be enforced at whatever cost-of
these, first, obedience. Let commands
be given only when they are necessary,
and let them be wisely given, but en-
force them. Second-let it be remem-
bered that habit is the chief force in char

which they are habituated. Compel

Chapped Hands.

The raw winds of the late autumn and
winter often produce in the hands OF
those who are much exposed to them that
roughness and cracking OF the skin
known as chapping. Ii nothing is done
to prevent, and the person is obliged to
have his hands frequently wet and dried,
the cracks Will often get deep and be
painful. Corn husking is frequently ae-
companied by sore hands from this cause.
As both precaution and cure for chap
ped hands we have used the following
with benefit: Wash the hands, and the
face also if it is inclined to chap, with
borax water, and afterward rub with an
ointment made by melting mutton tallow
Tor suet,) and then gradually adding an
equal quantity of glycerinc, stirring the
two together until cool. For the hands
this mixture can he best applied at
night, using it freely and warming il in
by the fire, after which an old pair of
glove can be put on to keep the bed
clothes from being soiled, and also make
the skin OF the hands softer An excel
lent glycerine ointment for chnpped
hands is made by melting, with gentle
heat, two ounces of sweet oil of almonds.
half an ounce of spermacetti, and one
drachm of white wax. When melted, re-
move from the stove, and add gradually
one ounce Of glycerine, and stir until the
mixture is cold. The ointment can be
scented with any perfume to suit the
fancy. Keep in wide-necked bottles

The Cue n and Mr.. Gladstone.

Ii IL be true, rs we read IN London
correspondence of New York
paper, that Mr.. Gladstone snubbed
his Queen when she made Of him Il
demand tor an increase OF the salary
of the Prince of Wales, the fact will
lift the old Premier in the estimation
Of every fair-mindcd man. We read
the other day that the Prince had
won 5000 on horse race. 1t is a
fashion of betting men to permit
the world to hear of their winnings,
but they are careful to conceal their
losses. This race in which Wales
Won was not the first he ever bet at ;
and it is only fair to suppose that he,
like other sporting men, has con-
cealed his losses. This is the more
fair when we reflect that without
gambling and without INDUCING in
other vices, it would be impossible
for the Prince of Wales to spend his
income. He receives in round num-
bers 5000, 900 per annum, $50, 900 per
month, or, excluding Sundays, just
about $4,000 per day. His house
rent and travelling expenses cost him
nothing; his gifts in charity do not
average two thousand dollars per
month; he has no old mother or lit
tie sisters to support. The question
is simply whether the poor of Great
Britain should be taxed to pay for
the vices of a dssolute Prince. If
Gladstone has had the strength,
tirmness ard sense of justice sufii cient
to negative the request of his sover
cign, why, then, he is worthy to be
Premier OF the foremost Empire on
earth. That Victoria should prefer
such Il request is IA fearful satire on
royalty, for it shows that to the En-
press OF India, even as to tho rag
picker, as the nobler faculties are
failing with age, avarice, the first in.
stinct which reveals itself in the in
FAINT, has returned and has com
menced to rule old age. The
majesty OF royalty cannot frown
down this vice. Though possessing
millions which she can never use,
though hailed as sovereign of the
mightcst nation that ever existed,
this old woman loves money so much
that she will not save her son from
disgrace by paying his debts, and,
worse still, she would tax England
which has been so generous TO her
and hers TO meet the gambling debts
of loose Prince. The showing is
not digniiied one tor either the
Queen or the Prince, but old man
Gladstone shines in a magnfied light
in the interview.
Mr.. THOMAS HUGHES says the only
annoying circumstance connected
with his Tennessee colony thus far,
was the presence of two Tennessee
ans who squatted on Il piece OF
ground the title Of which was so in
volved that it could not be pur-
chased, and opened IL liquor saloon.
They could not be driven away until
two Indiana ladies started a school
next door, when in accordance with
the State laws the saloon keepers
were obliged to move.
In the old days there were angels who
came and took men by the hand and led
them away from the city of destruction.
We see no white winged angels now.
But yet men are led away from threaten
ing destruction; hand is put in theirs
which leads them forth toward a calm
and bright land, SO that they look no
more backward; and the hand may be q
