The Husbandman. John Smith is a neighbor of mine, but no relation. He is a good farmer, but?Well, I will let him tell his own story. He came to me the other day, and said: "I want you to advise me what to do. We are having awful times over at my house. The boys are falling into bad habits. The girls are gadding about all the time. My wife is as cross as a bear. She says it is all my fault that the children don't do better, and that I . have nobody but myself to blame. But you know that I have always been a sober, hard-working man. I have made a good living for my family, and I can't see why things turn out so. What do you think I ought to do?" "Shall I tell you just what I think?' "Yes." "Well, John, my opinion is that if you bad been as good a husbandman indoors as you are out of doors, your family would be in as good condition ** * XI L XUa as your farm is. you Know iu?t iuc Bible calls the farmer a husbandman, and we speak of farming as husbandry. And I take it, the idea is that a man ought to care for and cultivate his landjustashe does his home. But if you had treated your farm as you have treated your home, it would be ' all ever-grown with weeds and thistles." "What do you mean by cultivating my home? I understand about cultivating land. But that is a very different thing from cultivating people." "I am not so sure of that. Let us loookatthe matter, Soon after you bought your farm you married your wife. In becoming a husband, you assumed in regard to her the duties of a husbandman. She expected you to study her capabilities and her wants as youstuddied your fields. Your idea when you loooked on your land was, How can I make it most productive, and yet keep it in good heart? If you saw the crops begining to grow light, you summer fallowed, or changed the seed. But did you study your wife in that way ? Did you ever think that she needed encouragement? Did you ever see how she was drooping from the monotony of her daily toil and cares, and try to give her a change ? Did you ever say, 'Come, Sarah, we will take a journey to the mountains or to the seashore and rest awhile.' I tell you, John, people need summer fallowing as well as land. And if they don't get it now and then, their spirits nmoM* on/1 fornn nf glUW WUXii auu U V?l j ) MUU vuv comfort for them, and for those who are dependent on them, will be very light. Nay, in spite of themselves, they will get to be irritable. You say Jhat your wife is cross. Don't you see why? She loved you, and thought that you loved her. But after you ? married her, how did you treat her? Did y?u cultivate her, or did you neglect her? Don't you act just as if she had nothing to expect of you but to > keep the family supplied with provisions, and to eat your meals when she had prepared them ? And didn't you sometimes grumble even when she wanted money for things necessary to the comfort of the family? And didn't you complain of her cooking, when she was doing the best she nnuld to nlease vou? Now just re member how much more careful you were of your laud thau of your wife! how much more time you spent in trying to mellow it and smooth it, and to find seeds adapted to it, thau you spent in trying to make her happy, and you will see why you have such a harvest of thistles, when you might ? have had wheat and fruit and flowers! "And then about the children. You are the best man I know of to handle horses. I have ofteu wondered at your patience with your eolts. You never seem to get tired of petting aud training them. You are so kind to them, and yet so Ann with theiu, that by the time they are old enough to work, they will do anything you want .them to. That pair of bay geldings that you drive is the finest in the country, and it is because you have taken such pains in breaking them. Now if vou had done as well by your children as you have by your colts, they would be just asuice boys and girls. But while you petted your colts, you repelled your children. I have seen little Johnny come to you while you were in a corral trying to gentle the horses, and you would order him away harshly and then turn and speak as softly and caressingly totho beast as a mother talkes to her babes. You know that if you had spoken to the horses as you spoke to Johnny, you would have spoiled them. Is it any wonder, then, that you have spoiled him ? "I tell you, John, your wife is right. You have nobody but yourself to blame. You have been a good land farmer, but a shiftless and careless house farmer. You have been a firstrate husbandman, but a very indifferent husband and father. And you are reaping just what you sowed. Now, my advice is to do just as you would if you had a field that had been neglected until it was covered with under urusu huu uusues. uiear inu iuuu and begin to cultivate it. Take an interest ill your wife and children, and it may not be too late for you to secure a bappy home. Be kind to your boys and girls, and yet firm with them, as you are with your horses, and they will learn to love you and obey you." I write out the substance of this con versation because I am afraid thai there are a good many such JohE Smiths in the world. Men who have homes ought to know how to husband them. Husband is defined by Webster, "To use in the manner best suited to the greatest effects." Every head of the family has a grand opportunity, What noble men and women have gone forth from the well-cultivated homes of Christendom to bl?ss theii [country ami the world! All our I homes should be the nureries of plants of righteousness. But to have a good nursery one must devote time and thought and toil to it. It won't grow and flourish of itself, uncared for. Neither will a home.?Herald and Presbyter. Extracts from Lowndesville Advertiser The Savannah Valley Railroad will run an excursion train from Anderson to McCormick on August 4th.

C., the home of its mother, for burial. It was six months old, and was a very bright child, seeming to know aud recognize its name, which was Virgil Clyde. The sympathies of the entire community are with the bereaved parents. The planters in the township are now in pretty good spirits, having had good rains, are giving the finish touches to their crops which (cotton especially) are flattering, and though corn is not so much so, yet so much has been planted that it is believed that a sufficiency will be made.
