Some Evening Reveries.

dollars TO begin life with, or per-
haps has nothing but a pair of
strong and willing hands-we would
l say to all such young men that the
farm is the best place in the world.
Do not be afraid of toll, but set an
example to the weak, lazy loiterer
about town by putting your hand
to the plow.
Ii you are young married man,
then the farm offers still greater
inducements. We know it will
cost your young wife some pangs
to separate from friends and home
| in the town, but if she is true
woman she will do it without a
tmurmur, for the battle of life is an
earnest one and we must each sus-
tain our part. sDo not expect to
begin your married life in the same
style that your father and mother
are now enjoying in their old age,
with the fruits Of many years of
toll; but be contented to begin
humbly.
Plant and SOW and reap; build
your dwellings and garnish them
about with fruits and flowers; pro-
mote agriculture, one of the great |
institutions of God; and when your
sons and daughters grow up like
olive plants around your table,
while you fail not to remember
their physical wants, remember also
to supply their intellectual food the
mind Graves; let them have good
books and papers and proper recre-
alton, that they may not imbibe
the false notion that farming is
drudgery and every farmer and
farmers wife a drudge.
AS we look about us, how many
sons and daughters of wealthy
farmers we see who despise their
surroundings, and only look on
father" as a very necessary ma :
chine to coin money for their ex-
penditure, and mother,' who has
labored for them every day since
they were born, as very useful
automaton for doing cooking and
general house work.
When you are tilling the rich
soil, think how much worthier is '
the cause you are prosecuting than q
TO crowd into some already over
stocked business or profession in S
your home town, with only one OBJ
iect in view-to have white hands /
md immaculate clothing, and to be
always struggling with your limit b
ID means to keep up with those in r
seeming who are much q
vealthier than yourselves.
