A WISE CouRsE.-A correspondent of

found himself q, 800 In debt aud farm
Ing an uphill business, With q family on
hi. hands "a support. lie poadered
what ,o do, as the outlook WAS very du-
blous. Finally he made up his mind Ia
get out of debt. even though he had to
selI everything he possessed, and begin
anew. From that time the Way opeocd
clear. lie had to sell. as good luck
would have 10. only part of hi. farm,
and with On. money be paid OF his debts,
emancipatcd himself, aud set out on his
new career of freedom. lie found he
could get along much easier. he Was re-
lIeyei Of anxiety, and he could sleep
nights. This IL In accord With what Mr..
A. W. Chec,er Of Dedhsm, Mass, re
Gently said In an address. "fhe best
thing ever did agricultursily." he sald,
.was to abandon one-hslf my farm; and
the next beat thing Vas to cultivate the
other half better" There are too many
farmers who sprcad Themselves over too
much ground. Half the territery. better
titled would give them better Income

Unity and beauty. but DO not believe

They want to make us. of the woods and
telds and rivers: and when they become
men they hnl those aspects of nature
endearcd 90 them by associatiou. and %
they think they were dear Tor their own
saSes. but the taste for nature is ~ purely
acquired As the taste for poetry or the
taste for tomatoes. have often seen
boys wondering at the rainbow. but u
