Farming as a Profession.

do not know one educated young man

utes over this paper trying to recall an
individual who had even spoken favorably
Of agriculture as vocation to live by.
Farming appears to have completely
passed out of the thoughts of young men
I'm the eastern states as a desirable ca
reer. Is not this somewhat strange in o
nation, the founders and first rulers of
which were farmers, almost to a man?
According to q recent statement a consid-
cradle number of students in our college

Zinc lars.. ieminlne FANCY.

The very latest for young ladies' fancy
work is to make yachting pillows for the
gentlemen of their acquaintance who hap
pen to own yachts. Every one who has
ever s'sailed DER the blue water" knows
how necessary to comfort are sofa pillows
in the cabin; every one wishes to doze or
loll about, and pillows are in demand;
there can't be too many Of them. The
pillow exclusively for yachts is covered
with navy blue sateen that Is laced on to
the pillow on either side by white cord
and tassel. This gives it q nautical ap-
pearance at once. Have a design of the
yacht stamped on one side of the blue
covering, and work in outline stitch with
white silk. On the reverse side have tho
name of the yacht stamped in large letters
in old English text, and also work with
white silk in outline stitch. They are very
pretty, easily done, and most appropriate
present. II one desires to give still more,
an ensign flag to match is attractive, with
the initials of the owner worked upon the
blue field as well as the name OF the yacht.

knowledge for EVERYDAY Life.

To add a column Of figures rapidly and

sums of addition, subtraction, multiplica-
ton and division, the kind OF arithmetical
knowledge needed in everyday life, is, as
President Walker mas shown in his recent
admirable tax to the school committee of
Boston, of far more value to the vast ma

be q knowledge Of the intricacies Of frac-
