The Value and Pleasure OF Agriculture.

The chief desire of man or q wo-
man should be, first, to be useful and
next to be happy. A mans first duty is
to mankind; and the next is to himself;
and the greatest happiness to 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.
It is, then, not laborious work merely
of the hands, but a 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
work that is both interesting and profit
able; in all these he finds food for
thought and means for instruction. In
short, good and successful farmer, in
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. It 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
to every smith and carpenter; to every
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. It 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 plow; or the girl who has done her
share in the dairy, in the care of poultry,
in her household duties Rural New

Where are the Boys 2

GA Sad Observer" writes of the multi
tudes of idle boys, many of them sons of
worthy parents, who are seen loafng
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 a boy who is
carefully and strictly trained will fly off
as soon as that restraint is Withdrawn, as
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
acter. Boys learn to like those things to
which they are habituated. Compel
them to remain at home in the evenings
They will find it irksome at times, and
yet if never permitted to be out at
night, except in company and circum-
stances selected by the parent, they will
find amusement in reading, music, and
in other refining home pleasures, and by
the time they are eighteen to twenty,
will have formed habits and tastes which
will lead them from choice to exclude
evil courses and companions. Do not
let boy run in the streets, and be out at
night, and yet hope to save him for any
thing useful. It cannot be done. He
may be lost in spite of all your efforts,
but without restraint he is sure to be
lost. Let the touch of affection be soft
and gentle, but the hand of restraint
must be as infexible as iron. Let him
know by continual and consistent kind
ness that you love him, and yet that you
are immovably firm in all questions of
principle and right conduct Interior.

BE JUST AND FEAR NOT.
BY DEAN AFFORD.

Speak thou the truth. Let others fence
And trim their word for pay;
In pleasant sunshine Of pretense
Let others bask their day.
Guard thou the fact. Tho clouds of night
Down on thy watcb-tower stoop;
Tho thou shouldst see thine hearts delight
Borne from thee by their swoop;
Face thou the wind. Tho safer seem
In shelter to abide,
We were not made to sit and dream,
The safe must first be tried.
Where God hath set his thorns about.
Cry not, "The way is plain
His path within; for those without,
Is hedged with toll and pain.
One fragment of his blessed word,
Into thy spirit burned,
Is better than the the whole, half-heard,
And by thine interest turned.
how thou thy light. If conscience CLEAN,
Let not the bushel down;
The smallest spark may send his beam
Ger hamlet, tower, and town.
Woe, woe to him, on safety bent.
Who creeps to age from youth,
Failing to grasp his life's intent
Because he fears the TRUTH
Be true to every inmost thought;
And as thy thought, thy speech;
What thou hast not by suffering bought,
Presume not thou to teach.
Hold on, hold onl Thou hast the rock,
Thy foes are on the sand
The first world -tempest's ruthless shock
Scatters their shifting strand;
While each wild gust the mist shall clear,
We now see darkly through,
And justified at last appear
The true, in Him that's true.

"reminiscences OF Revolutionary Tlmes

We find among "reminiscences of Revo-
lutionary times an amusing sketch of
Admiral Sandals. ssFor Frenchman he
was good sailor" Ny uncle, who was
with him, always asserted that Sandals
erred, not through any defect of bravery,
but merely from his desire to approach
his enemy scientifically, by bearing
down upon the hypothenuse of the pre-
else right-angled triangle, prescribed in
the thirty seventh s'maneuvre" of his old
textbook. But as the naval committee
OF Congress unfortunately understood
neither mathematics nor French, they
did not understand his explanations, and
he was thrown out of service. An unex-
pected dividend of prize money, earned
at the Revolutionary War, gave him an
annuity of one hundred and four dollars
or, rather, I think, of one hundred and
Eve, for I remember he told me he had
two dollars week on which to subsist,
and an odd dollar for charity at the end
of the year. He subsisted with the ut
most independence on this scanty in
come, refusing all presents, even the
most trifing.
He was man of most punctilious and
chivalric honor, and at the same time
full of that instructive kindness of heart,
and that nice sense of propriety, which
shrinks from doing rude thing to any
body on any occasion.
Even when he met his bitterest enemy,
as he did shortly after he came to New
York, the man whose accusation had de-
str0yed his reputation and blighted his
whom he had determined to
insult and punish, he could not bring
himself to offer any insult unbecoming q
gentleman, but deliberately splitting ON
the pavement, desired his adversary to
consider that pavement his face and to
proceed accordingly.
In proud and honorable poverty lived
Pierre de Sandals for some forty years,
until, in the age of the eighty seventh
year of his age, he disappeared from this
life.
