A GOOD INVESTMENT.

Mrs. EDITREss Not long ago
saw IN an eastern prper, the following
'sThere is nothing tina. SO surely indi
Gates happiness, as a pretty home dec
grated with flowers. 1t has been sale
that the dwelling places ofthe poor ale
SO often marked by an absence Of
adornment and a want of order and Of
cleanliness, that one can scarcely help
feeling that their occupants not only dc
not possess an appreciation OF the beau.
tlful, but that they thought they had nc
right to any refined tastes, or to any
means of gratifying them" Farmers
especially are apt to think that time
used IN beautlfying and adjoining the
house and doeyard, as SO much time
wasted. Their highest ambition seems
to lie entirely outside of the interest
and happiness of their families, and is
centered on fine Jersey COW, a mag
nifcent Norman draft horse, or fine
field of corn. This is right as far as it
goes, but the house and its surround
ings deserve their share of attention,
and money and labor expended on the
ornamentation of the home. will prove
one of the most productive investments
the farmer can make, as it will 60 far
towards bringing happiness and con-
tentment to the family. The BUSINESS
of ornamenting the house and cultivat-
ing the garden and dooryard, usually
falls on the women of the household
already overburdened with countless
duties. The thought, too, that what
ever she does in this direction receives
no sympathy, and sometimes downright
opposition, adds to her Encouragement
and she sees numberless difficulties in
her way which it is next to impossible
for her to surmount. What wonder
then that the flowers. and shrubs, and
vines, are neglected. l came to town
a few days ago, and as it was the day
after hard rain, the farmers could
spare the time to come to town also,
at least that was the way with my "old
man." l found the street corners fair
ly blockaded with farmers, mixed with
good many professional loafers and
it was almost an imposslbillty to elbow
my way through the crowd. Now if
some of these gentlemen? had been at
home trying to make things look more
cheerful unpleasant, instead of stand
ing idly on the corners OF the street,
they would have been making a much
better use oftheir time. Why is it that
when things go wrong on the farm, the
owner rushes off to town? Why do not
women do that way, when things do
not transpire as they wish! Well, some
of them do. and they are called cad
abouts," and not infrequently more un-
pleasant names. "Out of work. gen.
orally means, "In mischief" with both
men and women, and if both husband
and wife would try and make their
home beautiful by their own efforts we
would see fewer unhappy homes.

POstOffice Boxes.

The postoflice department has just
issued a new and peremptory order
in regard to box rents, in which the
public is interested. Box rents must
be paid for one quarter in advance,
and postmasters are prohibited from
placing mail matter in boxes and
drawers unless such payments are
made as directed. A new set OF form
books has been furnished, by which
it is proposed to hold postmasters to
a more strict observance Of this rule
than has been done in the past.
Furthermore, the department inspec-
tors are directed to visit the post
offices, and taking charge Of these
form books, satisfy themselves that
the rule is strictly enforced. ANY
postmaster who permits the use OF
boxes and drawers until he has act
ually received payment for rent Of
same, will be reported to the depart
ment.
