Good Advice.

"Aim to be kind, says Horace Mann,
generous, magnanimous." If there is
boy in school who has q club-foot,
don't let him know you ever saw it. III
there is poor boy with ragged clothes,
don't talk about rags in his hearing.
If there is lame boy, assign him some
part Of the game which does not re-
quire running. If there is a hungry
one, give him part of your dinner. If
there is dull one, help him to learn
his lesson. If there is bright one, be
not envious of him; for if one boy is
proud of his talents and another is en-
vious of him, there are two great
wrongs, and no more talent than be-
fore. If bigger or stronger boy has
injured you and is sorry for it, forgive
him, and request the teacher not 10
punish him. 1t is much better to have
kind heart than q great fist.

Master Herrick has other inventions
not yet perfected. That his inventive
genius is hereditary is indicated in the
fact that his mother has received let
tiers patent upon a child's toy Of her
own invention, which will no doubt
also prove a valuable one. Master
Herrick is modest, unassuming lad,
not at all seemingly conscious of hav-
ing done more than any lad might do.
AS his mother is in moderate circum-
stances, the pecuniary benefits they
will derive from these two inventions
will render them comfortable.

The Bagpipe.

The bagpipe is almost universal
throughout Asia, though at. present
not so much in use as it seems to have
been in former ages. It is used among
the Chinese musicians, and is met with
in Persia, where it appears to have
been more general in former ages than
at present. Where is also Hindoo
bagpipe, and in Egypt it was used to
some extent, but is now rarely met
with. In Italy it is common. It is
said that the italian peasant believes
that it is the best beloved music Of
the Virgin Mary; also that it is the in
strument upon which the shepherds
expressed their Joy when they visited
! the Saviour When the Italian peas
ant visits Rome on the anniversary OF
the birth Of our Saviour he always
carries his bagpipes with him. The
Romans are said to have been ac-
quainted with this instrument, and
most likely the Greeks also. In Scot
land it is the national instrument, but
even there its use is dying out. 5 rom

 Western farmers, as n rule. fail to ap- preciate the value of rye as a fall and winter pasture or more would be sown,
 In carrying out good system of rota- tion on the farm 1t is good plan to have good growth of clover to blow under fer wheat
 In order to keep up the land 1t will be necessary to turn every thing under that will be of an advantage, whether chemi- cally or mechanically.
 Applying aud working the manure ints the soil near the surface is the best for wheat, grass and all this class of crops and the application should be given after the blowing has been done,
