The Click o. the Latch.


Oh, the click o the latch how pleasant its

From his work on the farml and he smiles

The fire as it brightly burns
And he sees the table for supper spread,
Prepared by his daughters hand;
There is not another such housewife as

He says, ''in the whole broad land"

As my brothers return one by ona

A Paranhrase Of seneca.

Happy the man that when his day is done
Lies down to sleep with nothing Of regret
The battle he has fought may not be won
The fame he sought be just as fleeting yet
Folding at last his hands upon his breast
Happy is he, if, hory and fcrspent
He sinks into the last, eternal rest,
Brea hing these only words; Il am con
tent"
But happier he, that, while bis blood
warm,
Sees topes and friendships dead aboul hin
lie
Bare' his brave breast to envy's bitter storm
Nor shuns the poison barbs Of calumny;
And mid it all, stands sturdy and elate,
Girt on y in the armor God hath meant
For him who meath the tuffetings Of fate
Can say TO God and man: 81 am content

There IS sad to be man in the peni-

whom solitary confinement makes not
the slightest impression. 1t is believed
that before getting in the clutches of the

BUSINESS.

Business, says a celebrated writer,
lis the salt of life, which not only gives
q grateful smack to it, but dries up
those crudities that would offend,
preserves from petriication, and
drives off all those blowing lilies which
would corrupt it. Let a man be sure
TO drive his business rather than let it
drive him. When a man is but once
brought to be driven, he becomes vas
sal to his affairs. Reason and right
give the quickest dispatch. All the
entanglements that we meet with arise
from the irrationalities of ourselves or
others. With a wise and honest man
a business is soon ended, but with a
fool and knave there is no conclusion,
and seldom even a beginning.

FARMERS

Charles Dickens once said, IN re-
marking upon agricultural matters
that "the part of the holding OF atar-
mer or land owner which pays best
for the cultivation is the small estate
within the ring fence OF his skuil.
lis is undoubtedly true that the Guilt
walton of the brain is Of the highest
consequence to the farmer, as with
that part of his animal domain in a
bad state of filth his fields must re-
main in a fearful state of impoverish-
ment. How shall the farmer improve
his mind ? This is an important
question and deserves to be answered.
The education which the farmer needs
and which is essential to his success
in business and happiness is quite
within his reach. Education oes
not consist of abstract knowledge
gained by the study of books. Books
r useful in pointing out the way to
knowledge, merely. To be able to
observe and to draw right conclusions
is the education. There are plenty of
books and papers suited to this pur'
pose within reach of every farmer
and plenty of time to read them. 1t
lis not the busiest farmer who often
complain of want of time to read, but
the LATEST. One book of standard
authority on any subject well studied,
I'D better than a dozen books half stud
led. The moral influence of rehec-
ton and observation when in the
right direction, is very great The
farmer has around him the cereal
flowers, trees, rocks, soils,
minerals and animals. His opportu-
mites for observation are very great,
and there is every incentive to gain
knowledge. The cultivation of the
mind leads directly to a proper and
profitable cultivation of the soil.
