Though with love's words quiteai ready, ^ Points she out the other duty? Strive, uiy dear, to be a lady. ' I What's a lady? Is it something j Made of hoops, and silks, and laces, Used to decorate the parlor, Like the fancy mats and chairs.' Is it one that wastes on novels ] Every feeling that is human ? If'tis this to be a lady, 'Tis uot to be a woman. Mother, then, unto your daughter, I Speak of something higher far Than to be mere fashion's lady? "Woman" is the brightest star.

Raise the world from all that's low, Place up high in social heaven, Virtue's fair and radiant brow. Lend thy influence to each effort That shall raise our natures human, Be not fashion's gilded lady? Be a bra*c, true, whole-souled woman. ( FLASHES.

Xobody can toll how many disputes for the front side of the bed hare been settled by moving the bedstead in the ' ccutre of the room. The most painful part of our bodily pain is that which is bodiless or imma- J ferial, namely, our impatience and the delusion that it will last forever.

If you put two parsons in the same tedrooui. otic of whom has the toothache. while the other is in love, you will find that the person who has the tooth- ( ache will go to sleep first. You can paint the windows of n coal stove blue, set it out of doors among grindstones, and hang a lump of ice to every log. and yet six nut of every doz^n women will say, "How cheerful that looks." A pettish old man was annoyed by an old woman sitting near him who had a very bad cou^h. lie turned to her and said, "That is a very bad cold of your's madam,' 4I know it, sir,'said she; 'but it is the best I've got.' A school teacher, who, in a fit of vexation called her pupils a set of young udJers, on bting reproved for her language. explained by spying that she was speaking of those just commencing arithmetic.

"Xo uiy son," answered the parent, ' I don't think you'll be as handsome as you were, but you'll know a great deal more." The pood little boy receives the Sunday School ticket and the castor oil. and dies young, while the bad boy checks theater checks and sucks cider from the bunghole through a straw, and eventually becomes a member of the legislature. The voice of the starlit cat never sounds to better advantage than in clear, frosty and silent winter nights. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish a prolonged note on the upper icgister. from the closing note ef u trumpet solo.

The hearty laugh of an ugly man often redeems the slight that nature pui upon his countenance. If you depend on yourself you will pull through,?depend on it. Life is like a market or a fair. The question is, not whether the wares b< good- but whether there be any bcttoi at the next stall. The triumphs of truth are the most glorious chielly because they arc tin most bloodless of all victories, deriving their highest lustre from the number ol the saved, not of the slain. Sleep, thou rcposer of all tilings; sleep thou gentlest of the dc'ties ; thou penct of the uiind, from which care flies; wildest soothe the herrts of men wearied with the toils of the day and refitcsi thorn for labor. As the tree is fertilized by its own broken branches and fallen leaves, and grows out of its own decay, so uien and nations arc bettered ami improved b) trial, and refined out of broken hopes and blighted expectations. The way to rigot yourself is to bi careful not to wrong others. 'With what turasure vou tncte, it ahill be measured toybfifilR,' ? Mil?>1 What Shall the Farm Prod nee. Every farmer at the beginning of the New Year ought to put on his 'study cap." He ought to ask himself what he is going to raise to .mike tnoncy this year. Shall he inako it on farm crops, pork, beef or mutton ? Shall he put down his farm in meadows and pastures and rent them out another year, or keep or buy stock, and feed what he raises ? Shall he put out a large acreage in corn and fatten hogs or beef? Shall ho place his main reliance on wheat, as we fear too many farmers do ? If the war in Europe collapses some of our wheat growers will get their fingers burned next year. There was never so large an acreage planted before, and thus far it is looking finely? only it is a little too rank, it n could be fed down by sheep, calves or colts, when the ground is frozen, it would help ir. Wneat is a good thing at good prices, but the supply must not be greater than the demand, or the market collapses. About as cay a method of making money on the farm as any is to raise hogs. Have your corn field adjoining the hog pasture, and as soon as the corn is glazed, run a movable fence across the corn field, so as to enclose a few acres, and turn in the hogs. When all the corn is con*suuicd, move the fence and give them a few acres more. It saves a great deal cf labor to fatten the hogs this way, anil when land is cheap and productive, it beats in economy all other plans of fattening pork, and leaves the fields no poorer than before planting. If, in addition, the fanner will have an artichoke field of a few acres lo let in his store hogs in winter, his plan for cheap pork raising is complete. The hogs arc made to do their own work. The richer the ground, for artichokes, the more productive it will be. A piece of bottom land is best. In such land they will produce from one to two thousand bushels per acre. Cut up nnil nlant .and cultivate as potatoes. They are not at all hurt by freezing in the ground. But all fanners should bear in mind that the wants of the family must not be forgotten?that plenty of potatoes, cabbage, sweet corn, green peas and all kinds of garden vegetables must be produced. What folly to 6ay there is no field for enterprise on the farm ! There is no limit to enterprise. Fanners of enterprise, governed by good judgement, grow rich, while those lacking it plod on in the same old ruts ?do things in the same old way. and can hardly make accounts ballancc at the end of the year.? Rural World. England's Bone Caves. The Cresswcll bone caves arc enlarged fissures in the magnesium O O limestone in the border of the Eug? lish counties of Nottingham and Derby. They were discovered in 1875 by Rev. J. M. Mello, who has since explored them, and recently mitvl ioliai) on iwnmint' nf lii< ili<. j/UUilOUVU III! UVVVUII V V? ?/ '? # coveries. There are three caverns, known as the Pin Hole, the Itohm Ilood Cave and the Church Hole, and they contain numerous remains of animals no longer existing in O O Western Europe, together, with implements which arc evidently of human construction. Among the animals whose bones have been found here, Mr. Mello mentions the hyena, lion* panther, grizzly hear, brown bear, fox, wolf, wild ox, bison, reindeer, great Irish elk, the small Pleistocene horse, the two-homed woliy rhinoceros and the mammoth. The presence of these various re* mains in the caves is attributed to the action of the hyenas, which brought thither the bones of the animals they killed or found dead. Mr. Mello states that implements and weapons of undoubted human workmanship occur in situations which show that man was a contemporary of all these creatures. Farmer's Boys, For farmers, tho country wonts the inost energetic, thoroughgoing and wide awake hoys that can be found. Ilcncc, if a boy is blessed with that crowning concomitant which moves the world?brains?let him become a farmer. Brains con* stitutc the great desideratum in agricultural science at the present day. Fifty years ago muscle was the essential requisite. Fifty years ago a farmer was expected to perform every manual labor of the farm by the exercise of muscular force, while at the present day he needs brains more than muscle to enable him to manage labor-saving tools and implements with skill and efficiency. When the labors of the farm were nearly all performed by the luborious and fatiguing application of human force, farming was irksome and drudging. But now, when teams and steam power respond to the bidding of tho tiller of tho soil, agriculture is the most agreeable pursuit one can desire. True, at some seasons cf tho year farmers arc required to labor early and for several days. Then, again, perhaps for weaks they will have easy times.?Dirujo Hum'.

The fact that stock which is not prospering is just a machinery for the destruction of farm pro luce, ought to startle mativ a man who will read these words. Let him remember, too, that all live stock arc inevitable machines for destroying a certain portion daily, which is as directly daily wasted and burned up in every animal that feeds as if it had been put on fire. How much greater the premium, then, on keeping cattle whose fattening is done in a life time of 700 days, than on; keeping those whose fattening re"; quires 1,200 days or more.
