! am speaking from knogledgc that
cannot be disputed, that gained by ob.

worlds goods, aud also several steps
10 advance morally and intellectually,
the last two qualities will come natur
ally Industry and economy will bring
the former barring accidents or bad
luck Heretofore, in this town, many
mechanics and laborers employed al
good wages have depended for their
eatables on dealers. SO long as their
job lasted that wasall right, but, a man
who rents home ends il necessary to
buy everything that is used IN the fam
lily from bis days wages, SO when there
is a layOh il leaves him rather short,
unless be has,o bis wife has, exercised
thrift and have few dollars at hand
to tide over the gap. Many OF us have
learned some useful lessons the past
eight months am thinking, and here
is what had ia mind when | common.
eed this article. This advice offer to
those only who can apply il individual.
ly' acquire a plot Of land manage IN
some way TO get home il only an acre
of land, keep little surplus fund
ahead, don't ask for credit even if You
are obliged 10 go without some expense
that could be done away with, give up
the idea thai you must have a building
lot IN the village where il may cost you
from four to eight hundred dollars per
acre. A willing worker at almost any
kind Of work can easily walk a mile or
a little more to his wosk in village
and not be oyertaxed in his strength.
Your family will be just as well OIL and
many times think children are a
greater blessing to their parents if they
,tay at home on farm, ora little home
ar enough away from the village to be
rec from associations that are never
or good. | have noticed more tins
act IN the last two months, that many
,illage people are looking and desiring
and, not large farms, but few acres
ghere they may raise enough tor home
Five or ten acres Of land
With small woodlot, pig in the bar
81 in the fall, dozen hens, all kinds
( vegetables that might be raised, a
ow giving milk during the winter
7ould have made many az confident as
last fall. just set
hat as your mark your man and
ihen il is reached you will experience
1ore happiness than Rockefeller if,
b your spare hours you have acquired
be other requisite, which will not be
ard TO find If you yourself are as
rorthy as she is TO be the mistress.
As an old friend once knew, long
ince gone, said in the Sunday school
then | was youngster, lyon can't
rake whistle out Of pigs tail. = ,
'ou can't spend your money for things /
bat wealthy people afford and at the ]
anne time secure home for your fam |
y on wages il you have no other in. '
Dme, as rule. Not many of us can I
cqulre a large property in our little a

live out our lives enjoy i.
~ as much happiness as come to the :,
