The Natural Result Of Doing Things Ac-
cording to Old Methods.
70 run too long in, one unvarying
channel OF business, man is prone to be-
come spiritless, grows shiftless and un-
enterprising. He must vary or change
his methods, make new shifts, SO as to
give neWness and variety to his ocupa-
ton. which serves to stir up an interest.
with desire to see and enjoy the re-
! suits of his handiwork. This interest
and desire begets energy, as it were,
from whence follow other and often
greater efforts, and, as q matter of
course, something profitable will be ac-
conplished. This awakening to the
calls Of industry, in other words, is en-
terprise, without which no one is likely
to prosper much in any sphere. An en-
terprising spirit strives to accomplish
something as much for the pleasure in
It's accomplishment as for the actual
need of the frnits of it's labor. 81,
With some it is difficult to get up this
ente:prising spirit; especially SO with
such people as are inclined to "take
things easy" and to "let every day pro-
vide for ITSELF" from which very ca
there are thousands of farms-to saw
nothing of the personal improvement t
OF families--throughout the country,
that are rendered unattractive and un-
dervalued by the despoiling effects of
neglect, and which, by the touch of
little rubbing up, SO to S peak, would be
enhanced in value and made beautiful
as 'apples of gold in pictures of silver"
Many such farmers, tOo-as we are
chiefly speaking of farmers-are proud.
and want themselves and families to
stand fairly credible, yet neglect one of
the most essential means of gaining
that responsibility. For next to edu-
cation and refinement in our persons is
that of improving and identifying the
homes in which we dwell. So, then,
the father who wishes his family to en-
joy respectable position in society
should also strive to have bright and
attractive home for them.
The neglect of the home and family
often comes of too eager pursuit after
money getting, sometimes of petty
speculation, sometimes of too much
concern about public affairs and many
other similar cause which detract at
tention from home and home affairs,
and as rule only half work is done any,
where.
However the cause of this unprogres-
sive way of managing affairs, it is one
that grows and soon becomes rut, so
to speak, that is hard to pull out OF; ;
often it requires some external force to
get enc out at all. But again very lit
tie sometimes serves to stimulate spir-
it of progress. For instance, we once
knew a man who was led to make a
great change in his affairs by potato
crop he reared turning out exceedingly
well, and from which he realized a good
profit; and this stimulated him to turn
his attention to his crops more closely
and energetically, and which paid bet
ter and better year by year, till he be-
came quite a prosperous farmer. Al
though the first step in this case was an
involuntary one, we see, yet every one
can voluntarily take the first progress
sive step if they will, and by determina-
ton strive after others, and success will
ultimately follow.-Cor. Epitomist.
