Will You be Happy or Miserable?

Daisy Eyebright in Country Gentleman.
This is a question each should ask
himself. owe make our own happi-
ness or our own misery"-it is not our
circumstances alone which mould our
Joys or our sorrows. If with the be-
ginning of the year we make en- agree
ment to be happy, no matter what
happens, we will soon find that we can
control our joys far more than we ever
imagined. Do you doubt this state
ment? Then this day make a COM
pact with yourself to bear all things
quietly, patiently and happily, and
whatever may occur, preserve peace of
mind, and not fret about anything. If
you cannot do it without filling your
mouth with water Gas the wise woman
advised the scolding wife to do, when
she came to her for a charm against
her husbands ill temper, then 60 to
the water pitcher as soon as your an
ger rises. 1t is words, words, never
ending words, which breed misery.
Wherever love reigns, there will peace
and happiness abide. The old maxim,
"Where poverty comes in at the door,
love flies out at the window" sprang
from the lips of an unloving, selfish
man. Far nearer the truth would it
be if it read, "When poverty comes in
at the door, true love remains steadfast
to do battle with it."
Search in your heart this night for
the causes Of the black care which sits
upon your shoulders, and see if you
have not cherished its presence-have
not, by vain repinings and sad forbod-
ings, nourished a spirit of discomfort
and unhappiness which has finally per,
vaded your household and made it
unhappy and discontinued.
There are some great trials which
time only can assuage, and perhaps
Some. griefs that can never be healed on
earth; yet the pure in heart will al
ways find peace in the exercise of love
to God and man-unsel6sh love for all
whom they can help. True happiness
is found in seeking the happiness Of
Others. An old saw says, Happiness,
like youth and health, is rarely ap'
preciated until it is lost, if one would
seek it wisely and not selfshly.
"Think that day lost whose low descending
sun.
Views from thy hand no noble action done.
The most triAing action may give
happiness, if it be nothing but a kind
word to child crying in the street."

Preparing Ground and Cultivating
Corn.

Winter must love to linger in the lap
Of spring, the thermometer was only
one above zero last night, and yet corn
planting time is nearly upon us; if old
winter keeps up this kind of game with
gentle spring, the farmer will have to
begin early and 60 until late before he
catches up with his work. | always
break my corn land as deep as can in
the fall and harrow it in the spring be-
fore planting. | fear the continued
heavy rains and SHOWS we have had
this winter have packed the ground so
hard that it will necessitate the use of
deeper and wider cutting tool than
the harrow. Icultiyateda small patch
of corn last year, outside Of my regu.
lar field crop, that think as good as
there was in our county; | did not get
it in the ground until April, but after
it started it went in run. / had
broken this land the fall before, in
tending to make a tobacco patch of it
but changed my mind and about the
first of April, probably little before.
| went over it with big, heavy four
horse harrow; laid off the rows with
my two-horse plow and followed it
with bull.tongue as deep as taUo males
cOudp,Nd. For this foolishness Gas
they called it) some of my neighbors
laughed at me. l replied that always
in planting corn, / calculated on having
dry season, and provided for it by
digging my well before planting my
corn. l list always in preference to
re-breaking, for fear of heavy spring
rains and besides, do not think the
latter benefits the ground or assists in
after cultivation.
AS soon as the rows could be follow
ed, went over with my harrow across
the ridges and followed the harrow
with one>horse turning pillow, land
side next my corn. Just before it got
too high l run my harrow over it again
and in few days after cultivated it
with double shovels. only gave it
one more cultivation and that with my
double shovels and / gathered over
sixty.two bushels to the acre; there was
only small plot of land, about two
and a half acres and I gathered 169
bushels. l am fully satisfied l owe the
good yield to the subsoiler and the very
fine filth the land was in all the time.

New oats are not good feed for
horses. They relax the bowels, and
often, if the change to new is sudden,
the value of the oat ration is entirely
lost. AS they shrink a good deal in
drying, the old oats, though nominally
dearer, are usually cheaper as well as
better feed than the new crop.

Gentle rap

Rather old,
With a look of
Love untold.
Converse awhile

Soon she talked
Sentimental.
He didn't care

She got mad
Began to cry,
Other tactics,
Thought she'd try.
Years you've called
Every night,
As if you had
Perfect right.
Why you came
Lord only knows,
Never once
Did you propose.
Now tits Leap Year

An awful crash,
He had leaped
Through the sash.
