FARM LIFE.

1t is common complaint that the
farm life is not appreciated by our peo-
pie. We long for the more elegant
pursuits. or the ways and fashions of
the town. But the farmer has the
most safe and natural occupation, and
ought to find life sweeter, if less high
ly seasoned, than any other. He alone,
strictly speaking, has q home. How
can man take root and thrive with
out land? He writes his history upon
his fields. How many ties, how many
resources he has; his friendships with
his cattle, his team, his dog, trees; the
satisfaction in his growing crops, in
his improved fields, his intimacy with
nature, with bird and beast, and with
the quickening elemental forces; his
cooperation with the clouds, the sun,
the seasons, heat, wind, ram, FROST
Nothing will take the various social
distempers which the city and artific-
ial life breed out Of man like farm
ing-like direct and loving contract
with the soil. 1t draws out the poi
son; it humbles him; teaches him pa
tience and reverence and restores the
proper tone to the system. Cling to
the farm; make much of it; bestow
your heart and your brain upon it, SO
that it shall SAVIOR of you and radiate
your virtues after your days work is
done.-ScriLner.

The Virtues of Vegetables.

Celery acts upon the nervous sys-
TEN, and it is cure for rheumatism
and neuralgia. Tomatoes stimulate
the liver, and spinach and common
dandalion prepared in the same way,
have direct effect on diseases Of the
kidney. Onions, garlic and olives pro-
mote digestion by stimulating the
circulatory system, with the consequent
increase of the saliva and gastric juice.
Raw onions are also regarded as a rem
edy for sleeplessness. and the French
believe that onion soup is an excellent
tonic in cases of debility of the diges-
tive organs.

INDICATIONS OF GENIUS.
.itii"e~S'd 20 Young People.
BY ROBERT WATERS.


There has lately been carried on in
our periodical press remarkable dis
cussion concerning the reality of gen
ius, a discussion in which 1t was grave
ly questioned whether il is thing that
has an existence or not. or whether it
is merely a name. This discussion was,
believe, started by Mr.. Howalls, the
novelist, in one OF ms monthly utter
ances in Harper's Magazine, in which
he expressed some radical notions not
only concerning genius, but concern
ing the aims and methods of men of
genius generally. Mr.. Howells is
realist. and does not believe in any tic-
ton except that which is copied di-
rectly from life: he is a worker. and
does not believe in any inspiration ex-
cept that OF work. There is no gen
ius, he SAYS; there is only the mastery
that comes to natural aptitude from
the hardest study of any art or science
Well. after all, there is nothing ex
traordinary in this statement: it sounds
very much like what has been said be-
fore. Is it any more extraordinary
than Carlyles definition of genius as
San extraordinary faculty of taking
palms. or john Fosters '.the power of
lighting ones own fire." Hogarth said.
Il know no such thing as genius:
genius is nothing but labor and dill
gence. The truth is. all men of gen
lus have been workers. hard workers.
and have done what they have done
mostly by work: but this alone would
not have done it. There is something
else TO be required, without which all
the labor in the world is vain. How
many workers. great workers, there
have been in literature and art who
have piled up mountains of books and
pictures and POEMS. all of which, with
their authors, have long since been for
gotten: They failed to possess that one
spark that keeps every work of art alive.
They certainly had that ''masterv that
comes TO natural aptitude from the
hardest study of any art or science;'
but they had nothing more. Go into
any great library, and see what count
less volumes of great workers are now
buried in dust and oblivion
This is the proof of genius, the
het"y spirit. TloIgh time sweeps
into oblivion myriads of works of all
kinds, it is unable TO destroy that
which is animated by the fire of genius.
Mr T. {. Stedman, in the Princeton
Review, goes over the whole ground,
showing that men have believed from
time immemorial that genius is nat
ural gift, an Unborn faculty, developed
by study and cultivation. and working
in sort of instructive, unconscious
way. The passage which he approx
lngly qnotes from Edward Won Hart
mann Is. think, about rs good ii state
inent OF its nature as can he given:
"Ordlnary talent produces artiliciallv
by means of rational selection and com
bination, guided by aesthetic Judgment.

ence and practice. The creations of
genius are unwilled, passive concep-
tions; they do not come with the word,
but quite unpectedly, as if fallen from
heaven, on journeys, in the theatre, IN
conversation, everywhere when it is
least expected, always suddenly and in
simultaneously"
No sensible man will deny this; for
no man ever produced work Of genius
at will, or merely because he wanted
to. 1t is only the working geniuses
that become known; but it is not their
working power that inspires them
Works of genius are inspirations; but
these inspirations come usually to those
who have studied, thought, experienced
and practiced good deal. They hardly
ever come to lazy, indolent, careless
people. Not only the ideas of poets,
painters and novelists come in the way
above described, but those of scientists
and inventors also. James Watt hit
upon the idea of his great invention,
the mission link in the steam engine,
suddenly while walking through a
park on a Sunday morning; but this
was preceded by intense study, by on-
slant labor and deep thought. The one
would assuredly never have come with
out the other. Industry and talent
alone would never have hit upon such
an idea; nor would it have come to one
without these. A thousand generations
of Industrious and talented men failed
to hit upon it, and perhaps thousand
more might have worked in vain be-
fore they discovered it.
Not only does the conception come
unsought but the execution is often
quite different from what the executor
desired or willed it to be. de is led
by sort of divine influence into the
right path, and this influence is espe-
cially favorable to those who have dill
gence, perseverance. ambition. Genus
is spirit that has no sympathy with
Incidence and sloth She may exhibit
herself in a hundred ways in hun
dred different characters; and l con-
slider any nan who produces sublime
work, accomplishes great undertak-
ing, or presents beautiful idea in an
artistic shape, child of genius. Such
a man, it will generally be found, is
driven to his work, and cannot help
being what he is, or doing what he
does. But of this shall give exam
pies by and by.
Let me first show by what curious
twist this word genius has come to its
present meaning. Among the ancients
every man was supposed to possess a
damon, or inward guiding spirit,
which he was bound to obey or suffer
irreparable loss. This was called his
genius. Those who implicitly obeyed
this spirit, or genius, were the favorites
of the gods. the prophetic souls who
become leaders and teachers of man
kind. Hence nearly every man of un-
common intellectual power, ancient
and modern, has attributed his best
thoughts and best efforts to this spirit,
or genius, this power beyond him,
which inspires him to do or to say these
things. And now, from being a spirit
animating men and women, genius has
come to mean a quality possessed by
them, and this quality, possessed to a
certain extent by all men, is supera-
bundantly great and active in favor

AMUSING ACUTENESS.

Nowadays acuteness is deemed essen
tial to success liz any direction, and
certain amount of it does materially
aid in the accomplishment of a purpose.
But of person reputed "cute," it is
advisable to beware, else one may find
himself unexpectedly involved in diff
Guilty of some kind.
While for the greater part, human
acuteness is tinctured with base ele-
ments, it may be exercised without in
jury to the agent or object; merely ex-
employing good-natured, though
keen wit.
A young man, under examination
for admission to the University of Ed
inburgh, was asked if he had studied
logic, and replied affirmatiyely.
"Yon understand the differences be-
tween cause and effect:" inqui ed the
professor.
"Ido."
"Did You ever know an instance where
the effect was in advance of the cause."
"Yes, sir"
"Mention it," said the professor, in
great amazement
"Well, when man pushes wheel
barrow ahead of him."
On certain occasion, Rebelais de-
sired to visit Paris, was destitute of
the means for so doing. He made up
three packages, and marked them
"Poison for the King" "Poison for the
Dauphin," "Poison for Monsieur"
His landlord saw them, reported
the case to the authorities, and he was
arrested and taken to Paris. The con-
tents Of the packages were analyzed,
found to be brick-dust and harmless.
Then Rabelais explained matters, and
the King was highly amused by the
ruse.
In days gone by, few Southern law
yers were more distinguished than
Luther Martin. He was one day rid
ing to Annapolis in u stage coach,
when his only companion-a young
man who had just been admitted to the
bar-addressing him said:
":Mr. Martin, you have been wonder
fully successful in yorr profession
Are you willing to acquaint me with
the secret of your SUGGEST"
"If you will pay my expenses during
the few days that / shall remain in
Annapolis"
81 will" was the earnest response.
''It is this in my advice: Deny every
thing and insist upon proof"
At Annapolis, Mr.. Martin enjoyed
all the luxuries that fine hotel could
furnish, regardless of the expense, and,
when the time for his departure arriv-
ed, passed the "bill"-of enormous
proportions-to the young lawyer who
was standing near. The latter merely
glanced at it, and then returned it to
Mr.. Martin.
"Aren't you going to pay it'' Mr..
Martin asked.
"Pay WHAT"
"This bill. Didn't You promise to
defray my expenses while was in An
napolis?''
"My dear SIR" was the quiet reply,
al deny everything and insist upon
proof"
The eminent lawyer paid his bill,
and laughingly said to the young man:

me-"
