The JOY OF Being a Boy.

One of the best things in the
world is to be a boy; it requires no
experience, though it needs some
practice to be a good one. The dis
advantage of the position is that it
does not last long enough. 1t Is
soon over. Just as you get used to
being a boy you have to be some
thing else, with a good deal more
work to do, and not half 40 much
fun. And yet every boy is anxious
to be a man, and is very uneasy
with the restrictions put upon him
as boy.
There are so many bright spots
in the life of a farm boy that |
sometimes think | should like to
live the life over again. | should
almost be willing to be a girl if it
were not for the chores There is
great comfort to a boy in the
amount of work he can get rid of
doing. 1t is sometimes astonishing
how slow he can go on an errand.
Perhaps he couldn't explain himself
why, when he is sent 20 the neigh
bors after the yeast, he stops to
stone the frogs. He is not exactly
cruel, but he wants to see if he can
hit 'em. 1t is curious fact about
boys, that two will be a great deal
slower about doing anything than
one. Boys have a great power of
helping each other do nothing.

Whom TO Marry.

If marriage, in the language ofthe
holy Apostle, is "a great Sacrament"
there is something greater, higher,
nobler, purer and more God-like-
we mean the holy state of yirginity.
But. if ole state is holier than the
other, bo,h ore holy, lawful and
commendsb bic. Indeed, all that is
fair and beautiful in woman may be
gathered up in these two features
namely, the perfect purity of the
virgin, and the tender. magnificent
and loving heart of the mother.
There is nothing grander than viz
ginity, but next to virginity comes
the magnificent maternity of the
Christian mother. The mother with
u child in her arms, next to the
virgin consecrated to God. and
kneeling before Jesus Christ-the
virgin Son of the Virgin Mothers
the mos beautiful thing in creation.
The g. eat English Protestant poet,
Wordsworth, says:
There is more poetry, to say
nothing of the truth. in the one
idea of the Blessed Virgin Mary, as
the Catholic Church breaches her,
namely, as the woman who com
bines the infinite purity of the vir-
gin with f'.e love of the mother,
than ever was written by the pen Of
man"
The true girl must be sought {:
she is not to be found in the beaten
tracks of every day life. Generally,
she is not rich. But OH what
heart she hasl If you gain her love
your hundreds become thousands,
and your thousands become mill
lions. She gives you such a vel
csme when YOU come home that you
feel your power higher than ever.
She makes YOU love home. As a
man trained to love the beauty and
simplicity of Gods work, We hold
there is nothing half so intrinsically
good as the true girl. She is the
sweetest flower in the pathway Of
life 1t is where the daisy grows
and the modest violet blooms we
like to 90 to rest. Here the true
girl is one of those lovely, good,
sweet-faced, amiable, pretty, domes-
tic creatures met within the sphere
Of home, diffusing around her the
influence Of her goodness like the
essence Of sweet flowers.

Eye Service.

Upon going into an Office, | saw
two boy. at work addressing envel-
opes-or rather, one was at work.
while the other, with his pen in hand
was locking out Of the window.
Their employer was seated near
by, and when he caught my eye be
smiled.
Which of these two boys is the
better workman and of the most
value do you think ?n he asked in a
low whisper.
The one that works, l suppose
l rejoiued.
mo, sir; that lad who is looking
from the window now does so be-
cause he think, there is no harm in
it-does 1t, you see, under my eyes.
On the other hand, while my eye is
on them. the other boy is the most
industrious. bnt | find in my ab-
sence he does nothing. So you see
he adds eceit to his faults. | would
no, trust him out of my sight"
1T seems to me that neither Of
theIn is worth very much"
TO be sure, came the immediate
answer, "a boy who attended to his
duties at all times would be the
best; but a boy who render. eve
service merely, who cannot be trus-
ted to wsTk without watching, is not
to be tolerated. "
The man who said this had seen
much Ofthe world he knew whereof
ne spoke, and perhaps some of
our young readers will profit by his
words

Potato Culture.

There is scarcely any crop that
has induced more experimenting
and has caused more discussion
than the growing of potatoes. On
farms adjoining one another there is
all possible difference in its cultiva-
ton. There is more in theseed plan
ted and the manner of planting
than in the preparation ofthe ground
and after cultivation, though in the
results there is next to no difference.
Some farmers insist that quite small
whole potatoes are the best for plan
tiong; some cut off and throw away
the seed end of the small potatoes ;
others plant one whole large potato;
Others cut medium-sized potatoes in
tive or three pieces ; others plant
pieces with a single eye, and so on.
Some plant the whole large potatoes
in holes three feet apart some the
very small ones in drills. When
the harvesting comes each will OBJ
tain about the same quantity of pO-
tatoes and about the same size. We
think it probable that if the early
part of the season is very dry that
the large seed is the best, owing to
the substance it possesses to sustain
the young growth, otherwise the
small seed, or the pieces ola medi
um potato in size, is to be preferred.
The saving. too in the small seed
(the latter being unfit for market
will be considerable. A good sod,
in ground not subject to standing
water or usually very moist, is the
best for this crop. Barn yard ma
nure spread over the ground and
raked in every row, and not plowed
too deep, is best. Rows or drills we
think, are to be preferred, and they
should be wide enough apart to ad-
NIT the plow after the vines have
become too large for the cultivator.
All seed should be spread upon the
barn floor for two or three weeks be-
fore planting, to admit of the eyes
getting little start which will reduce
about that time in advancing the
maturity of the crop.
Should the season be favorable
the potato crop at this time is a. Ger
tain in affording a satisfactory yield
as any other crop upon the farm,
and in some respects it is the most
profitable.
