Grindstones versus Bows.

have seen the day-it's a good
way back now-when l wished
there had never been snch a thing
as a grindstone manufactured" "
Why? Oh, it is easy enough to tell
and more than one farmers boy
can guess. l had to turn 1t! But
it wasn't so much the turning as the
turning at the wrong time.
1 thought then, as l think now,
that the father who hopes to keep
his boy with him on the farm and
to make him content with farming,
had better not make it a practice
during haying and harvesting to
compel 'the boy to turn the grind
stone to sharpen the scythes or
mower knives during noontime
when the hired men are resting in
the shade. In the long run it
doesn't pay. A boy needs rest, if
he has been at work in the fields, as
well as the men do, and the mo-
ment boy feels he is compelled to
do more in comparison with his
strength, than the hired men, Their
he begins to dislike his work and
has no interest in it.
They used to tell me shat boys
have no backs" and consequently /
was expected to carry the sheaves
together, put them In the shocks,
NOW away the hay np in the peak
of the roof among the cobwebs and
barn swallows nests, and after the
DAYS work was done it was time for
the chores, with the cows to bring
from a distant field. When bedtime
came there was one person who
knew he had back, let others say
what they might.
But, all this could have been got
ten along with, and it was, except
when things went little wrong, |
was told that l didn't earn my salt,
and instead of being credited or
compllmented for a good days
work was oftener blamed for some
trivial matter which l had done or
neglected to do during the day. All
these things told on me and didn't
like farming. Grindstones are the
cause of more than one boy leaving
the farm, but they are referred to
here simply as representing the va
rious other causes which produce in
the boy a dislike for farming. OF
course a farmers boy is expected
to work, but not at all hours and
under all circumstances. Fathers,
don't ask too much of your boys;
don't overtask them; don't call them
lazy good for nothings; don't find
too much fault with them; be rea-
sonable; ask and expect them to do
what their physical condition will
permit, and above all, compliment
them once and while for they
must do well sometimes.-Ex.

Be Not Anxious for the Morrow.

Editors Indiana Farmer.
But, as you say, how am / to
avoid anxiety as to coming events?
You cannot always control your
feelings, but there is a government
of the thoughts which you practice
in regard to other things. Many
an unworthy thought comes to your
mind from which you instantly
turn away. Do the same with these
broodings over troubles which have
not yet arrived and may never. II
fears of some calamity arise, If you
think, what if this should happen,
or that should happen-turn away
from the thoughts as you would
from the temptation to steal. Not
however if there is something you
can do to prevent said calamity. If
there is, set about it, do all you can
and then leave it with God. Think
just as little about it as possible and
as often as the thought comes turn
to God with it again. Your worry
ing will not make one hair white or
black, and your savior has forbid
den it.
He forbade it because the worry
Injuries you and those about you. 1t
makes you gloomy when you mi ght
be cheerful. It makes you irritable
and nervous when you might be pa
tient and calm. 1t makes you weak
when you might be strong. Is there
not enough going wrong every day
without taking up the burden be
fore you get to it2 Is it not true
that sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof"
1 knew lady who thought her
self dying of consumption. She
was an earnest christian, yet she
was in distress through fear and
dread of death; she could not be re-
conciled. A friend sard to her,
''You are not gong to die as soon
as you think; if you were, you would
feel differently" She recovered,
lived several years and when the
time did come, all fear and dread
were gone ard she went down to
the grave willingly, gladly, trium-
phantly. She had been trying to
cross the bridge before she came
to it.
1t is the same with all other mi
nor trials. What you arc dreading
may never come, or if it does come,
preparation to bear it may come
with it. We can no more know
what is coming in our lives than
we can know the shape a cloud will
assume in half an hour by its ap-
pearance now.
Do l address an habitual borrow
er of trouble2 Let me beg of you
to try this simple remedy. The
first time you catch yourself look
ing forward to something painful
aud thinking how very hard it will
be to bear it, stop that instant, pray
that you may be spared this trial,
or may have help to bear it, and
turn your thoughts to other things,
to present duty. If the thought
cannot be banished thus, lift up
your heart to God for help to Danish
it and keep doing so till yen have
the victory. Practice will make it
easier and in time the temptation
will leave you, and you will live in
the present and have all your
strength to bear the trials OF every
day. The process will bring you
nearer to God and you will be re-
paid many fold for every effort.

other departments. They find no oppor-

contrary, there has been cry for more
help, and Representative Morrison. not
ing this tendency, declared in the

has made more offices than it has a5ol-

icy of employing thousands of clerks and
other men tor whose services there was
no call, and he has promised whenever

the places abolished. In power, the dem
ocratic Congressman appears to have for
gotten these alleged abuses. In fact he
is anxious to increase the number.
