GLOOMY DECEMBER.
BY ROBERT BURNS.

BY ROBERT BURNS.
Ance mair hail thee wi sorrow and care;
Sad was the parting thou makes me remember,
PARTING wi Nancy, oh ! ne'er to meet mar.
Fond lovers parting is sweet, painful pleasure,
Hope beaming mild on the soft parting hour
But the dire feeling, o. farewell forever!
Is anguish unmingled and agony pure.
Wild as the winter now tearing the forest.
Till the last leaf o. the summer is flown,
Such is the tempest has shaken my bosom.
Since my last hope and last comfort is gone!
Still I'll. Ia as hail thee, thou gloomy December,
For sad was the parting thou makes me remem-
Der,
Parting wi Nancy, oh ne'er to meet mair.
The Necessity OF Farmers Keeping
Accounts.-At the last meeting of Cecil Coun-
ty Farmers Club Prof. w. G. Stephens, Of the
Tome Institute, Port Deposit, made an address
on THE Value of Accounting to the Farmer
and His Family" He said, in part:
"'Deliver all things in NUM- Der and weight and
put all in writing that thou givest out and re-
| ceivest in, is an unmistakable and mandatory
injunction to do certain thing, and that thing
| to be done in certain way. NO clearer expo
sition of the principles of debit and credit coua
possibly have been given, and no one can so con
| strue the language to find excuse for
failing to obey what is so distinctly and clearly
commanded. Deliver all things in number and
| weight is a statement of the fundamental prin.
! ciples of business, and implies the exercise OF
| those virtues of justice, accuracy and complete
| ness which characterize the upright business
man. Put all things in writing that thou givest
out and receivest in is only the ancient express
sion of the modern principle of double entry
bookkeeping. Debit the incoming and credit
| the outgoing value
This ought to be sufficient evidence OF tn s
divine origin of accounting, scheme which
governs the thrones of commercial empires ana
guides the financial affairs of the world. Teach

complexity of human relations, demanding ac-
curacy, method and the whole truth, the science

Keeping a systematic record of ones own
business gives not only chart and compass
that will guide to the desired haven, but the
very act is highly disciplinary and promotlve OF
business morality.
s'Without the wisdom of business splendid
abilities and vast attachments are comparatively
valueless. Unfedged Millions and incipient
Newtons who enter into any line of business
drag out precarious existence because of their
ignorance of the methods and details of prac-
tical business life, unless, perchance, they find
a stall in the cloisters of schoasticism, where,
like the fatted OK, they may be safe from the
crack of the plowman's whip.

especially for the farmers son as he grows to
manhood would inculcate habits of industry.

sons of thrift and economy; furnish a most val
liable record of facts for future reference, and
give protection from the inroads that destroy

mentioned haphazard way of doing everything.

with no thought for the future, spendthrift
habits, and the multitudinous temptations and
vices resulting therefrom, and which eventually
end in bankrupting, financially and morally any
young man who acquires such habits. Horace
man who has commenced to charge himself with
foolish expenditures will soon be charging him
self with wasted hours, with neglected oppor-
tunities and will soon be resolving on wholesale
retrenchment and reform. And l lay it down
as general rule that any young man who. at
pendent life, has saved something and knows
where to find it, will go on to competence;
first YEAR has saved nothing who has made him
self no better off financially, will almost GER
tainly die poor man.,
