Farm Life Tu bo constantly saying that tho occupa tion (if tho agriculturist is an honorable ono, would bc like tolling thc literary world that l unch, was at timos disposed to be facetious, i.r persistently reminding ministers that the e.iiiso of Christ which they advocate is right onus. Though ive admit there aro cheats and s \'hullers among farmers, wo aro prone to be lieve Unit as a IM:: is, they ure from their natu ral surroundings more honest than any other class of people. Tu use thc words of the'im morVni Washington, " Agriculture is tho most healthful, most useful, and most noble employ ment of man." Constant employment in the open air gives thc farmer constitutional health rind vigor; as th" primal motive power which sets and sustains in motion all other buisness and Social relations of man. lie daily wor ships iii Cod's own temple, whose fouudation Walls ate the everlasting hills ; whose pillars ave cloud-piercing mountains ; whose roof of other blue is t be star-lit dome above us; win dows ar? curtained by clouds ever changing in hue and texture, bordered by gold and silver, und richer than Tyrian -purple ; whose tloors aro carpeted with thc living gr?oO of the meadows and the hues of forest and flowers whoso music is heard in the reverberating roll of the thunder's voice, in thc unceasing murmur of the sea, thc deafening roar of the mighty cataract, in the drowsy lullaby of the silvery rivulet, in tho breezes as they whisper through tho forest groves, or shriek wildly amid thc weird branches of thc monarch oak, nature's own /Eo'oan. It is true that there are stern, hard practi cabilities, in farming, lt is not constant hol iday. To .the young man just com m Queing it is OHpeStrtlly so, ns in nine cases out of ten ho luisa mortgage to lift or some heavy debt to pay, which has been increased by investments in his buisness. To contend single handed again.-.1 these difficulties were indeed a toil so.nc task were it not for tho brighter visions of tho future, thoughts of a happy home, a cheerful fireside, broad, acres, well stocked .-.tables, and granaries filled to plcntitndo, of all which he can say with au honest manly pride, they aro minc ; by the labor of my brain and sweat ol' my brow 1 earned them, and which thought renders supple his stiffened muscle,.and makes light his footsteps as he hastens joyfully, hopefully through his daily round of toil. Farming like all other buisness, to bo con ducted profitably must bo conducted in a sys tematic, business like manner. Exact ac counts should be kept of all business transac tions. Those branches of husbandry that do not pay a cash profit, should be immediately discarded, always granting however, that they have a thorough trial. Very much depends on the tuan as to whether he will succeed or not at farming. A man of thorough-going business habits will succeed in almost any vo cation of lifo that be may see fit to pursue persistently, and though ho knows compara tively nothing of agriculture, ho will succeed much better than your make-shift man who, though born and bred on a farm knows only enough of his business to growl at moth er earth because she refuses lo reward his wretched attempts ?it husbandry by bounte ous crops. A person should never involve himself in moro l ind than ho has abundant capital to operate successfully. If he have nh idea of carrying on a tarin for profit, nt the same time spending an unlimited amount of time dabbling in other trades and profes sions) he had better leave it alone, for it will prove a thankless job. A trite old saying, " thc best manure for his land is thc owner's fjot." A KKEN NICKI KU TKHK. - A somewhat notorious nigger, in Cincinnati, hus immense ly shocked thc aristocratic sensibilities nnd "oil factories'' of divers of his wealthy radi cal friends, by purchasing a valuable piece of property on Seventh street, w?st of Elm, for which he gave ?22,800. . It is in one of the most aristocratic neighborhoods of tho city; in front of it, several palatial hill usions J on each side of it, several more of thc .-ame; and all the rich and proud occupants, including thc nigger, intensely " loyal."

Hut, Strange I That whole proud, loyal neighbor hood of aristocracy and money is as much ex cited and unnerved ns if all the inspired odors and rich perfumes from Araby, or " Africa the blest," had just floated in upon their ns tonishod senses, on .sonic vagrant orient gale ! In plain mod ern ph raso, " there's a nigger in that, wood pilo," and thc great concern is how to get him out, or what to do with him, if ho poi-sists in remaining ! They advocated his equality, gave him his rights in society, and elevated him, bo foro tho lew, to tho privi lege of legally being one of themselves in .'.io moral and social world-legislated him, in truth, into superiority ; and now they aro shocked nt tho bravo, bold Ethiopian having tho audacity to take thom at their own word, and dot himself down in their midst ns ono of "oiir own set !"-Dayton Empire, /ggr Wo loam from North Carolina ex changes, that the Convention of that Stato, on Saturday last, adopted an amendment to tho Constitution prohibiting tho Legislature, from electing its own momhera^to offioo.

Is your father'poor and una ble to give vou an outfit ? l?o not dishoart encd on ai :ount of these things, Take earn est hold of lifo and never regard yourself in any othei light thnn that of being destined to a high and noble purpose. Study closely thc bent of your own mind for labor or tx profes sion. Windover you resolve upon, do it stead ily and Untiringly) never look backward to what you have encountered, but always for ward to what is within your grasp. The world owes every man a comfortable living, and a respectable position in society; moans are abundant to every man's success, aud men have only to adapt will and action to them. To repine over a want of money and proper ty to start out in tho world with, and over the Wants of props of influential relatives, is un manly. Let ii man strive to create a fortune, rather than seek to inherit one. lt is an ig noble spirit that lends a young man to borrow instead of bequeathing means. Gp forth into tho world, young man, conscious of your God within you, and His providence over you, and light your own way to distinction, to honor and to comfort. Pity, in your inmost soul the young man who without any charge, is un able to support himself, and whining around, and begging tlic inlluorico of others to uct him into employment I Peel, under all cir cumstaccs, that it is more honorable to cat the crust you have carued than to flourish with coppers inherited. You may lift your heat', proudly to face ?md confront, the noblest among us when you arc conscious of being the arch itect of your own fortune Young man are you poor 1 Pe honest, be virtuous, be indus trious; hold up your head, und say by your actions and looks what the poet has said in words : "T scorn the- min who boasts his hirth, And boasts his titles and his . i .?ls ; Who tnkc3 his name and heritage, from oula father's dying hands. BROWNLOW AdAIN.-Prentice's "Louis ville Journal " has tho following beautiful tributo to thc present immaculate Chief Magistrate of tho unfortunate down-trodden Stato of Tennessee : " You poor old humbug, you silly old os trich, did you expect to escape thc public odi um and merited contempt by sticking your addled pate under such a bush as that? Get out, " you threadbare juggler," und ninon through thc little rent nant of your disgraced and disgraceful life-an arch apostate, a brawl ing braggart, a leprous liar, a moral monstros ity, an ungracious upstart, a wind-broken wrangler, a yelping yaboo-hooted, hated, despised, contuinnicd, ridiculed, pointed at, cursed, abhorred, nnd scorned as the offspring of all depravity, and unprincipled, low and dirty in iniquity. * * * * You cr'oakiiic old hypocrite! you sniftering old liar! you ungodly perverter of the truth ! you overflowing fountain uf unmitigated false hood and vile ca hun ny ! you old " chronic diarrhea pf lies !" I low dare you squirl such a lean, withered, meagre, bald, and bare faced lie as that. * * * * * * The most ungodly liar and the biggest " fool liar" now alive is Parson William Gannaway Brownlow--the shame of Tennessee-a hu miliating burlesque, on the high ellice of Gov ernor-thc instigator of crime-thc consort of I felons-thc coadjutors of assassins-the boon companions of murderers-tho burning scan dal to religion and the foulest blotch on thc civilization of the country ! ! I*3S:SKNCB Of BKKP.-It seems that a schonte has been set on foot to utilize the large quan tities of beef heretofore allowed tn go to waste at thc large slaughtering establishment nt Buenos Ayres, where the hide, hams find tal low arc only ?sod. Liebig, tho celebrated ?hcinistij has discovered n process by which from 10 to 2-1 per cent, of dry flesh is soluble in water, and all the savory elements of menta I separated, purified, readily freed from thc al bumen and coloring mutter, nnd solidified. Tho extract thus prepared has nil the nourish ing properties of meat, and can be readily mude into a delicious soup and other articles of diet, lo Us Ordinary degree of concentration one. pound of the extract cati bo made from thirty three pounds of meat. This cnn ho sold for 82 per pound, and will make soup for 128 per sons. TICK CHRISTIAN.-A christian does not turn his back upon the Gno things of this world, because ho has no natural Capacity'lp enjoy them, no tasto for them ; but because tho Holy Spirit has shown him greater and better things. Ho wants flowers that will novor fade ; ho wants something that a man cnn tako with him to another world. He is Uko a man wdio has lind notice to quit his house, and having scoured a new one, he is no more anxious to repair, much less to em bellish and beautify thc old one ; hi.? thoughts are upon thc removal. If your hear him con verse, it is upon the houso to which ho is go ing. Thither ho sends his goods; and thus lie declares plainly what ho is socking. #3T In somo portions of this County, says tho " Oswcnsboro (Ky.)

"A million of money fur one inch of timo," said Knglund's proud Quoou ^lizabeth, while filled >vith remorse in her dying mo menta; but all tho wealth of tho world could not purchase a single hour. Young woman, aro you improving your golden hours so ns to save yourself from vain regrots by-and-by, when the fatal archer lets (ly tho arrow of death and cuts short your dream of lifo? You have beert sympathies to cultivate, mind to eilueato, powers to make activo for good, and influences to wield for the right and true. How mueh of your time is absorbed by lofty aims and noble strivings? Young mun, can you alford to waste an hour in idleness and frivolity ? Can you alford to neg lect your opportunities of storing your mind with useful information, of making solid ac quirements, add preparing yourself thorough ly for those high efforts that win success in the great undertakings of life? i*oU haven great deal-to ?>\ before you attain to your ma jority, jin order.to meet the just expectulio- s of society^ You have to do with a fast age, t.) share in operations moving with lightning ??ed.and you must he capable of quick de cisions and brisk movements, for time and title will not wait for you. livery hour not need ed for repose and recreation should be filled up with benefits to yourself and others. Act upon this hint, and you will bless us for drop ping it. ?Here is an old sa ving and a true one. which you will dc well to fix in your mom' ry : " Who knows nothing in his thirtieth year, is nothing in his fortieth, bas nothing in his fif tieth, learns nothing, is nothing, and comes to nothing." --? - -.???-. - Help Your Father " My hands are SO stiff I can hardly hold a pen," said f irmer Davenport, as ho sat down to " figure ont" some accounts that were getting behind hand. "Could I help you, father ?" said Lottie, laying down her bright crochet work. " I should bc glad to, if I only knew what you wished written." " Well I shouldn't wonder if you could, Lottie," ho said reflectively. Pretty good at figures, are you ?!' "It would be afino story, if I did not know something of them after going twice through the arithmetic," said Lottie, laugh ing " Well T will show you in five minutes what I have, to do, nu/1 it'll be a powerful help, if you can dd it for mc. I never was n master hand at accounts in my best days; and it does not grow any easier, as I can sec since I put on specs." Very patiently did thc helpful daughter plod through thc long, dull line of figures, leaving thc guy worsted work to lie idle nil the evening, though she was in such haste to finish her scarf. It was reward enough to see her tired father, who had boon toiling all day for herself and thc other dear ones, sit ting so cosily in his easy arm chair enjoying his weekly paper as it can only be enjoyed in a country home, where, news from the great world beyond conics but seldom and is eagerly sought for. The dook struck nine before tho task was over, but thc hearty ''Thank you, my dang! - ter, u thousand times," took away .11 tho sense of weariness. " It's rather looking up, when a man cnn have, an amanuensis," said the father; " it is not every farmer that can afford it." " Xor every fanner's daughter that is capa ble of making one,'' said mother with a little pardonable maternal pride. " Nor every one that would be willing if she were able," said Mr. Davenport, which last was a truth. How many daughters might he of use to their fathers in this and ninny other ways, who never think of lightening care and labor ! If asked to perform some little service, it is done at best with a reluctant step and an unwilling air which rob it of all .sunshine or claim to gratitude. Girls, help your father., give him u cheerful homo to vest in when evening comes, and do not worry his lifo away by fretting because he cannot afford you all the luxuries you covet. Children exert as great an influence on their parents ns parents do on their children. Getting and Holding Money. Op this topic of general concerti, Cory O'Lani us, the "Brooklyn Eagle" sage, dis courses with his usual lucidity and clearness as follows : Every man his own landlord, is a capital doctrine. I should have adopted it myself long years ago, but for want, of capital. This is tho difficulty with most tenants. All tho real estate I own is located in a doz en flower-pots, which Mrs. O'Lamus devotes to the cultiVntion of geraniums, verbenas, cac tuses and other ornamental vegetables. Tho earth is a man's inheritance, but I have not como in for my share of it yet. Somo capitalist has got tho title-deed to my estato, and won't give thom up till I cari raise monoy onough to redeem thom. My father nogleotcd to leavo mo a fortuno -a habit which runs in our family. From present appearances, I think I shall hand it down to posterity. As Shakspeare observes, somo men aro born poor, others acquiro poverty, othors havo pov erty thrust upon thom., Tho O'Lanuscs wero always-distinguished for their ability to spond all they oould get ; rall my.rioh.uncles dtod.boforo they mado their fortunes. Gotting rloh involves two quostious : . l'irst, got monoy,. , . S?cond, hold on to U. I understand the principio firstrato. As soon as I can accomplish the first con ditton, I am going to try my hand on tho sec oed. When I got married, Mrs. O'Lanus and myself passed a joint resolution that we would got rich. Getting tho furnituro took all our capital in hand, but 1 was to givo Mrs. O'La nus all tho money 1 got. ? She was to buy only what wo wanted, and put tho rest in the sa vings' bank. Thc livstyoar we wanted more than we could buy, and tho bank account carno out without a balance. Thc next year my salary was increased. So was my family. Likewise thc expenses. Hank account sainensyear before. We continued to accumulate at the same rate for several y Cars in sucoe.-.s'on. Then the war broke out, and \ a concluded not to put money in the bank for ti >. present, bcoouso things were then so uncertain. Sineo then living has been high, and we have conclude! to postpone thc accumulation of a fortune until the income tax is abolished mid groceries become reasonable. THE STAMP ACT.
