Why Some Farmers Do Not Succeed. They are not active and industrious. They are slothful in everything. They do not keep up with improve ments.
 They are welded to old methods. They give no attention to details. They think small things arc not i'm portant.
 They take no pleasure in their work. They regard labor as misfortune. They weigh and measure stingily. They burn wood when there is no need.
 They are wasteful and improvident. They are fretful and impatient They ruin stock by low fencing. They let their gates sag and fall down. They will not make compost. They let their fowls roost in the trees They have no shelter for stock. They do not curry their horses. They leave their blows in the field. They hang the harness in the dust. They put oil greasing the wagon. They starve the calf and milkthe COW. They let their pigs thump in the dust. They go to town without business.

 Young Girl.
New York Sun.


 Deacon Benjamin F. Sheldon of the Advent church, Bristol, Vermont, and an old resident there, aged about 40 years, has eloped with Miss Jennie Clark. aged about r, leaving bis wife and in strait ened circumstances. Deacon Sheldon was in the employ of the British Manu- faeturing Company, engaged in the man. ufacture of coffins. He las for some time past expressed an intention to in. vest small capital in the boot and shoe business, aud under this pretext he re- gently induced his wife t. sign mort gage on their homestead, and he raised about $l 900 by quietly disposing of the most of his available effects. Some three weeks ago Sheldon's wife went to Brandon, Vt, come fifty miles south of this village, on q visit to relatives. Mean time Deacon Sheldon had for his house keeper Miss Jennie Clark, an adopie1 daughter of his next-door neighber, Samuel Stewart. Miss Clark was mem Der of the same church with Sheldon, and pupil in the Sabbath-school class of which Sheldon was the teacher. On Friday last, on receiving intelligence of the intended return of his wife from her Brandon visi', the couple took the morn ing train south with tickets purchased for New York City, where they are now supposed to be. The wife of Sheldon IS woman of preposses,ing appearance. Sheldon has heretofore borne an un blemished reputation in this communi- tv, and his conduct has astonshed his friends. He had pleasant home on one of the principal streets. He had man aged to sell most of his property, and leaves bis wife and children-two daugh- ters, aged and II years respectively in strai.ened circumstances.
