Making a. FnIni.

The American Cullivator says: "I'he
fact that man has only one life to live
makes IL worth his while, as far as pos
sible, for him to spend il as pleasantly
US possible. If man sets out To be a
farmer il makes all the difference in the
world whether he farms it with convc-
nient and pleasant surroundings, and
amid the comforts Of civilization, or
roughs it on the frontier, beginning to
enjoy the comforts of this world only as
he is about to leave it. This is the
strong argument for making homes in
the older states. The same reasoning
IL, however, quite as conclusive in any
locality for purchasing the most highly
cultivated land, which, for some pnr-
poses, is always most valuable in pro-
portion TO its cost.
"Wbatevcr improvement has been
made on a given farm. still good
farmer will always fluid room for more.
Usually the improvements made after
the fiji st clearing of land pay better than
those which through necessity every.
body is forced to make. No farmer
will leave his land in an unchanged
condition after occupying it a few years
while a good farmer will always leave
it in better shape. How it shall be
improved must depend some what OH
his available capital, as well as on his
natural skill and aptitude. With good
management, the improvements that
add most to the value of farm need
not be very expensive. Granting that
the farm will pay its own expenses and
provide support for the farmer ami bis
family, he can do much of the work OF
improvement himself
An example from real lie illustrates
the manner in which this may be ac.
complished. A young man Just q
years of age purchased farm, paying
therefor $50 per acre. His first work
of improvement was TO plant 250 peacf
trees, occupying abont an acre o
ground. The third year after planting
lie sold from this acre 100 bushels o
peaches for as many dollars. In The
five years succeeding he sold from hi,
same orchard $500 worth of fruit
Ills encouraged him, and he made {

Of different varieties. His rule was tc
make the farm crop pay all expenses
and invest his fruit money in new
crchalds. When he had the farm Il

reason for selling was that the farm was
larger than he wished to care for, and
he regarded some Of his selections OF

Temperance and the Social Life,

Intcmperance has ever used the soc ia
nature as high vantage ground from
which 10 work IFS ruin. II laws hold
of the natural craving for larger and
frcer life TO DESTROY life itself. WHY
should not the friends of temperance
be as wise and seek more and more to
cultivate the virtues of temperance.
chastity and pure life through the
social nature, and for this purpose pro-
vide for frequent healthful association
aud ENJOYMENT? Accordingly Tenn
perance Social Union has been formed
in Boston. 1t includes, we Judge, some
of the purest and best society known in
the "Alhcns Of America" 1t has its
monthly meetings with dinner or tea
made pleasant by music and elevated
social life. At the last monthly meet
ing Hon. L. S. Tobey, the PRECEDENT. in
he chair, the liuichinsons sang, and
Rev. DIR. Webb, one of Bosion's most
respected ministers, made an address.
DR. Dr. Webb, according to the report 6 sc
had of late been studying the question
OF temperance with great care, and that
Tho thoughts which lie should now pre-
sent were chilled from the aggregation
of results obtained. Since he began 10
study the question, great advantage
had been made in the scientific phase of
the discussion. Alcohol was now re-
coz nizcd by eminent physicians az
having no place in the living human
body except as an irritant poison.
Why, he asked, in the course of u vivid
presentation of the evils of intcmper-
ance, are not the same measures ofrigid
prevention taken against drunkenness
as against cholera, typhoid fever and
small pox, neither of which causes
fraction OF the misery which intemper-
ancc produces? The progress of the
temperance reform in England and i'm
different states of continental Europe
WAS sketched. Towns and cities are
growing tired of the sight of so much
suffering and OF supporting so much
poverty. Governments are refusing to
remain idle while The products OF the
earth are being turned to the destruc-
ton of their citizens, and In all the
earth is heard rumbling of the ground
which portends grander temperance
revolution than has ever occurred in
history. Governor Winthrop in 1880
made the first move against intemper-
ance in this country, and in 1859 the
general court enacted, at his instance,
the first prohibitory legislation on
record. Prohibitionists had, therefore,
no reason TO be ashamed of their origin. |
What grand sight it would be if this
great nation. anticipating the certain
action o. individual states. should rise
up In might and throw aside the chains
which are being forged about her. DIR.
Webb had no don bit that, true to its
divine mission, the Uhited States would
sooner or later plant itself on The high
platform of prohibition both of the man
nfacinre and sale of intoxicants. DR..
Webb's address was warmly applauded,
and copy was requested for publca-
lion.
