DISCONTENTED ROBEBT. I
"There's some fun in working in a
place like that I" thought Robert, as
ho peeped through the hawthorn
hedge, into Mr. Lyman's boautiful
grounds, and saw Christie, the old
gardener, at his work. "1 lovo to
cultivate flowers, but thore isn't much
pleasuro in hoeing cabbages and onions
all tho tirao."
Just then, conscience whispered in
his ear, "Tboro's pleasuro in duty,
Robert," and the word "duty"?"duty"?"duty,"
seomed to murmur all
around him. Robert was in no mood
lu oiujj ttuu luih. Willi li i8 COnSClODCO,
and so hie faco wore not a very pleasant
took as ho turned bis slops towards
home.
In a fow yoars, the sunsot gates
wide unfolded their gold and purplo
bars, and the weary old gardener passed
to his rest in the eweot fields beyond.
Itobert was called to fill his
placo, and for a while ho soemed contented.
Ooe morning, Uobert was busy
awoog tho floworB. It was a bright,
warn day?a day to bo glad?but
Robert was not happy. "1 declare
how fast those woods do grow 1" he
exclaimed, giving his hoe an angry
jerk; "it takos all my timo : and
wiih the walks to roll, and the borders
to trim, and the hodge to olip, I don't
see how in the world?"
"What pretty flowera I Isn't Mr.
Lyman kind to let me ride in this
beautiful garded V and, "oh, how happy
it makes me to hear tho birdssiug!''
Robort looked, and saw a little lamo
girl?people eallod her "Lame Lucy"
?whose brother was drawing her
slowly down tho walk, in a rough,
clumsy, unpuintod wagon. As Robert
was standing behind a little clump
of bushes, Lucy did not see him until
she was just opposite. Then abe emilod,
and bade him good morning, and
as she did so, the looked so baDr>v
* A *>
aud coltentod, that .Robert paused
from bis work, saying :
"Why docs it make you so happy
to hoar the birds sing t"
' Oh, 1 tbiuk God is so good and
kind to makn such beautiful things,
ju?t to ploaf.o us, when he migbt ae
easily bave made everything disagreeable.
'His louder mercies are over
all his works/" repeated palo-facod
Lucy, "and it makos me to glad and
happy."
Hubert glaDced at her poor, wasted,
holplcBB form, and then at her face,
so bright with chcerful gratitude ;
udu utuuj ii? ue inougut 01 Uis own
strong limbs, and unthankiul heart:
"I wish 1 could feelcontentod always
as you do, Lucy."
"I cannot help feeliDg contcntod,
when I think of my blessings?I h&vo
so many things to make me grstoful;"
and thon the little wagon paeaod on ont
of sight.
llobert took up his boo, and, for tbo
first time, he seemed to notice that
there was every thing about him to delight
th? oye and ear. The roses, lilies,
and baburnums wore their gayest
robes. The boes, as they darlod
here and there through tho flowers,
made muiio with thoir hamming.?
The birds gang joyously in the trees,
overhead. Every tuft of grass, shrub,
twig and leaf, as it bore up its twinkling
dew-drops, seemed to say, "God
is lovt." The gentle breeze, mingled
with its freshness the perfume of the
briar, and clover, and mignonnette,
and whispered in a low, swoot tono,
* praise ye the Lord!* And to Bobert'n j

ART OF CONVERSATION.
I?ov. N. C. Bart, in one of his lottors
from Europo where ho is now
travelling, draws a contrast botweon
tho Americans and Europeans touching
thoir habits of talking. We would
bo sorry to seo our people become a
nation of talkers?loquacious as tho
light Italian or tho volatilo Frenchman;
yot we may bo liable to just citicism
for being too reticent, and cspociully
for our nogloct in cultivating
our powers of conversation. Most
Amoricans talk but little; and when
they do talk ; it is in such a way that
evcryDouy is giaa wucn tticy quit.
A LOST ART.
This prompts mo to say that the
facility for conversation witnosscd in
all thoso continental countries is amazing.
It is in marvelous contrast with
wbat wo seo in our own country.?
Take any company of half a dozon
intelligent men, be thoy French, Gorman,
Italian ; ar.d probably five, if not
all six, will be roady, pleasant, impressive
talkors. Whatever may bo the
theme suggested, each will give his
views and seok to maintain ihcm, without
awkwardness or cmbarrasmcnt,
who unuesitating utterance, and willi
a force which securos attention. And
not only bo, but they uro bkillud in the
art of conversation, buing uniformly
conccurBe?avoiding offensive rewarka
?giving opportunity for others to
speak?abstaining from interruptions,
and commanding their tempera.
H iw different with us Americans.
!Not otie in six is a good talker, nor one
in u hundred. Conversation is with
us 0110 of tho loat arts. Wo are a uation
of oratora, cf course. Almost
every mother's son of us can stump it
wiiii spread eaglo eloqueuce. And occasionally
au Amoricati can bo found
gillud with the faculty of mouologue.
Givo him a company of li.stencrn, and
iho whole fiold to himsolf, and he will
discourse ad mil ably. Thus would the
late Gov. AlcDowoll, of Virginia,
whom 1 have heard in private talking
by the hour almosi. without a pauso,
and perhajtB aa eloqently us ho ever
talked ou the floor of Congress.
But, as the rulo, whan our oloqucnt
public bpeakers come into a parlor,
they are struck dumb. Off their legs
they are out of their wits. And those

soldoin acquiro the art of conversation.
Our companies do not mcot on any
conversational level, and tbo mombors
of these companies are not prepared
to como forward and severally givo
and take in tbo conversational round;
so wo dissolve into litLle knots and
goasip.
Tbo difference betwoon us and tbeso
people is that wo read and they talk.
Tho book and tbo newspaper bavo,
with us, usurped tbo place of conversation.
1 am sorry that theao people do
not read more, and I am also sorry
that we do not talk better.

Dry feet arc warm foot, goncrally, if.
tho system is healthy. To keep the;
system healthy tho circulation must;
bo good. Tho circulation is not good
without exorciso, and oxorcisocan only
be roally valuable whon walking.?
Riding in a carriago is no exorciso at
all; it is moroly inhaling tho air.?
is very well as far as it goes, but the

erclao is very good, aud is an improvement
on carriage riding, but it is notj
not tho kind of health-creating play
of tho muscles nature demands. It is
action?action of the entire body?
and walking only will procure it.
Now tho ladies of Europo, particularly
of England, understand this
iLing. They walk miles por day, and
if any of our pale beauties desiro to
know how the English ladias keep up
their fine color, clear complexion, and

should be thick, and as woll made as
human ingenuity can do it. Then,
oven in most weathor, or in a rain

insured, all is well with the body.
ENGLISH ELOQUENCE.
There is a very general impression
in America that English eloquonco is
oi the alow and stolid kind?a mixture
of 6tammering, coughing, and
torpor. If, indeed, a traveller might
take tho style oi speaking prevalent
in the House of Commons, and still
moro prevalent in tho House of Lords,
as representative ol English eloquence,
this impression would be very just. It
is almost unparliamentaiy to be fluentit
is Father derogatory to one's crodit
for statesmunly moderation to spoak
straight on without hemming and haw
ing; and it is quite unlordly, beoause
smelling of a professional aptitude, to
march through a long seutenco without
losing tho wav. wiLhontfltuinblincr
over Lindley Murray, and possibly the
Quoon bersolf, without the speaker com
ing out of the sentence at last nearly
where he went in. Bat popular eloquence
in England?the eloquence of
the platform and the pulpit?is a very
different thing. The most distinguish;
ed preachers of the metropolis?Newman
II all, Spurgeon, Noel, Capel Molyneux,
Dr. Cumming?speak not only
without noto, but without hesitation,
ana display an inntantaaeous command
of varied and fitting diction that would
bo romarkblo even in nations more
celebrated for their flaonoy. The same
i? true of the political orators and
popular leotnrors of England. The

For a timo, Nollio amused licreclf
very quietly by winding a string in
and out through herfingors; but presently
she bogan talking to herself in a
low tone : "When I say my prayers,
God says,' Hark! angels, while 1 hear
a little noise.'" ller mother asked
her what noiso was that.
"A littlo girl's noiso. Then the angels
will do just so (abutting her mouth
very light and keeping very still for a
moment), till I say Anion."

with thoir goldec. harps; and j'et,
through all iho music and all tbo praises,
hoars the sof'toot prayer of a little

It proves tho truth of the statemont that,

and energise that purpose, he will beconao

and by heroic manly labor, that men can

Such an one is always 6uro of employment.

not, then, grudgo the lime required, and
tbe labor employed in this slow and tcdions
operation. Gather from every quarter
the materials for increasing 3 our coming
harvest. Wherever ibey may be acceseible,

Ireely employed. It will pay. Cotton

As to farm manures, when lmulcd lo the

with the surfaco sail, or if laid in heap?,
covered with a coating of earth. It always
pays to work over manures in the
yard, throwing them up its heaps, and covering
with rich mould, letting them lie in

Don't Cultivate Ordinary Land
Without Manuue.?JRecollect, it
costs you on oar averago soils, ton
dollars or more to lnako an acio of
corn with hired labor, and fifteen or
moro to mllce and gathor an acre of
cotton. If you do net look closely af1
tor your hands, it will cost you a good
' deal more than that. Now, every
acre cultivated, that will uot yiold
crops worth at least tho above
amounts, will not only bo no profit,
' but run you into debt. Larger crops
' still, are reqnircd, to obtain a piofit
on hired labor. Lands, then, which
1 will not yield such crops, wo must lot
' rest, or manuro them sufficiontly, or

The California Rural Horn* Journal
says: "Somo oightoon years since,
while living at Tangier, in the empire
of Morocco, wo sent into the interior
of tho erapiro to purchase of a tribe

ho felt a big disgust at such, to him,

whore vogotable matter is to bo eovorod,
and thon the plow should set just
deep enough to turn the grass or
weeds. All deep plowing should be
dono with long, narrow plows, or sab*
soilers, which will stir the ground, no
matter how deep, bat leave the fertile
aerated soil at the surface, where it
now is- In most of our heavy soils,
to turn thom ovor ten inchcB deep
with a big Northern turn plow would
ruin them for ton years. When we
can grow clover, we may safoly turn
it in deep enough to cover it. Sow it
again with wheat and clover, and
enough spocial manure to make the
eocond crop, and whon this iB turned
in, in its turn, the soil is fillod with
vegetable matter to the depth of bIx
or eight inchcs. Deep plowing at the
North, whoro heavy swards of grass
and clover are turned under, and abun>

manure for surface dressing, can safely
bo dono, in a way that would destroy,
for tho time, tho cropping oapacily
