Since my last article containing advice to a certain class of young men was dispatched to you, I have been led by further reflection to think that it should be followed byanolh- er of similar character, though ad dressed to the parents instead ot to thechildren. Inthearticle referred to. I considered the disposition only to leave the farm to engage in al- j most any other pursuit, without re-' ‘ ferring, except very briefly, to the cause or causes which had brought such a disposition into existence, fostered and nurlered it to vigorous growth. I then pointed out the evil as it existed, but I propose in my present brief disquisition to arrive more definitely at the root of this evil (f>r such I consider it) and point out the means by which it may, m a great measure, be averted. Do not suppose that I shall at tempt to give you a recipe to lie compounded as you would prepare a remedy for a sick horse. .Nothing of the kind. Instead of this I desire to hold a few minutes plain conve sation with you. Go with me if vou will into al- fdeclare (and who could upbraid ! them for it) that they "'ill never ! doom themselves to such a slavish life. But we have followed this suf- ! ficientlv far; let us pass along to j where John Smith is gathering his two thousandth bushel of fruit and ; learn what detains his daughter near i him so long. ‘Father,’ I hear her say, ‘Can’t you get the house painted and buy some new blinds this fall ? It is looking exceedingly shabby.’ ‘No, 1 have no money to spend for paint arid such like useless stuff.’ ‘What has become of that thou sand dollars the commission mer chant sent you a draft for the other day ?’ ‘Oh, that’s in the bank. I must use it lo buy that piece of limbered land adjoining my south line.’ ‘I can’t see whatyon want of more land. You’ve got a thousand acres now, and I’m sure we ought to be hie to live in as good a house as keeper Sam McArthy, the saloon down town.’ ‘The house is good enough,’ he replied with a shrug of the should ers. ‘You and Nellie and the boys are beginning lo be loo good ior farmer’s children. You are trying to put on too many airs; got some city notions in your head I guess.’ Getting too good for farmer’s chil dren are they ? As much as lo say that farmer’s sous and daughters are a little below those whose father sell calico, compound medicines or re tail intoxicating liquors ; as though your daughters had not as good a | right to ‘put on airs’ or, in other r words, dress and appear well as the laughter of your neighbor Dr. Jones; . i as though it would not lead as much nwstanv larmrng community and 1 1D their comfoii as your own lo live let us gather-together examples from j • real life as rhey chance lo fail within our observation. There is Charlie, “old Brown’s” son, earnestly talk ing with his father. Let us listen for a few minutes (detestable though the practice may be) and gather the purport of their conversation.— “Father, can’t I go to the Fair to morrow ? ” asked Charlie with a sort of hopeless, despondent expression overspreading his youthful counten ance. ‘No, there aint no time lo be wasted by running to Fairs; for there’s them two acres of potatoes yet to dig, the apples to gather and no end to the work that’s lo he done.’ ‘But, father, I will work all the harder and make up for the time I lose in just going one day. I have not been gone a clay this fall.’ ‘No, you can’t go. If you was old enougli to go alone it would be dif ferent, but at your age I’m not go ing to allow you to be gadding about the Fair ground all day and in all soitsof company. If I’d let you alone to run lo your heart’s con tent into all kinds of company, you’d soon be like Jim Clark ; the miser able, drunken, thieving wretch!’ Can’t trust your son alone occa sionally a day to seek hisovvn pleas ure and society then! Just the same as tell him that if you do he will be a ‘miserable, drunken,thiev ing wretch,’ it you allow him to fol low the bentot his own inclination. You must certainly admit that he has inherited honest, honorable, no ble principles from his predecessors. Ah ! I hear you say, “He must wait until he has his moral character more fully developed and his princi ples more firmly established.’ That’s an biteipslitig theory indeed. About as reasonable as a certain old lady I once read of, who would not allow her son lo go neat (he water until he knew how to swim. How do you expect that his pnnciples are to be established and tiis moral cour age si lengthened to resist tempta tion if he is always kept under your nose? More of that spirit of man hood, more strength of charily is de veloped by resisting one temptation, by refusing lo lake one glass of in toxicating liquor with an acquaint ance, by putting down in his own mind the first inclination lo throw' the dice of the gambling table, than bv bong led about lied lo your coal tail for an age. But that is not the reason you will not permit him logo and it you had not made the same excuse a hundred times before under similar circumstances, your own conscience would upbraid you for the falsehood. You have toiled so long from early dawn till the shades of night shut you out from tasks of toil, you have enslaved yourself so much (when pprhaps the condition of your financial matters rendered such a course a little more excusa ble) that it has become to you a sort of “ second nature.” You have in ear lit rdavs denied yourself so much that what inclination you once may hive had lo see what there is lobe seen is almost or entirely lost, and with a mind thus dwarfed, you judge and pass sentence upon the actions of oiliers under your Control. Eternal work, work, work is your sole purpose, desire and pleasure.— You tell your sons that they cannot afford to spend there valuable time running to Fairs, shows and the like, but if they would succeed, they must toil from early dawn to set of sun, and what is the result 1 What? Why, it is this and nothing less:— Brought up under the influence «f such teaching, both by precept and example, they are led to regard a life upon the farm as nothing more ot less than self-imposed serfdom ; a continual struggle with poverty for &n honest livelihood, and with such STi impression on their minds, they were you a speculator in stocks in stead of a fruit raiser or a tiller of the soil, as the case may he. That’s where the trouble lies. By such re marks uttered .almost every day of your life, you virtually acknowdedge yourself not quite equal in the social scale to your neighbor who is, per chance, engaged in what you are pleased to term more genteel em ployment. My prescribed limits in the pres ent at tide will not allow me to pur sue the subject to that extent I would like to, but let me before closing say : instead of continually deprecating your condition in life and contrasting it unfavorably with that of others not more and often not so honorable, strive to elevate it to that high stand ard by which it is truly lo be meas ured when compared with other oc cupations of the human race. Instead of saying that your un painted hou e is good enough, } r our carriage sufficiently elegant, etc., for a farmer, when you ean abundantly afford a better, strive lo surround yourself with all those little advan tages which go to render your home and mode of living more attractive. In short, make your home pleasant and attractive and habits of life agreeable, and you will have little trouble in banishing from the minds of your sons and daughters that aversion to a life on the farm which now so often drives them to seek other occupations less pleasant and profitable. C. T. LEONARD. Farming that Pays. In a recent conversation with one of the best farmers in one ot the riv er towns in this county, he remarked that he hadn’t made much money from farming for the last ten years. His neighbors had sold hay every year at high prices, had money and government bonds ‘salted down.’ If he had pursued the same course he could have ‘made money’ in their acceptation of the term. ‘But do you mean that you have made noth ing by farming for the last ten years?’ ‘No, J suppose not exactly. I have improved my farm, and now cut 20 tons of hay moie than l did ten years ago. I have rebuilt and bet tered my buildings, set out a new orchard, and schooled my children, but I havn’t laid up any money.’ in this reply was obtained just the in formation we wished lo get by our question. Here was a well .to do farmer, having as good a farm as ‘lays out doors.’ In ten years he had by lib eral manuring and judicious crop ping doubled the yield of hay pro duced, and as all this hay had been fed out o« the farm had of course doubled the amount of stock kept, and the means of improving and raising larger crops in the future; he had repaired his buildings at a cost of several hundred dollars; started a new orchard ; obtained a good living; paid his bills and schooled his children; (and much more is comprehended in this last than at first Appears—it doesn’t mean simply that he has given his bo)s and girls such an education as cliildien obtained ten years ago, th< y hacFbeen sent away where they have received greater advantages, hut in sending them away have come large expenses); and yet half makes a complaint that he hasn’t made much money by farming! Is he cor rect or not ? Isn’t there evidence of more wealth than could be shown by bis neigh bors who have sold their bay every year, and salted down ‘legal ten ders?’ Hasn’t he a better capital than they; isn’t his investment, in the single item ofeducating his chil dren, paying or likely to pay a bet ter dividend than bank stock?

I “Short Pi’olilS and Quirk Sal'S." A great deal has been said of late about woman’s rights, the lights of colored citizens, Chinaman’s rights, the rights of dumb animals, &e. Nearly every class of persons have had their champions, ami boys, too have bad theirs; but I propose to turn aside from boys generally, and talk for the boy on the farm. I mean the youngest boy on the farm “is endowed by the Creator with certain inalienable rights;’’ there does’nt that sound like a Jefferson cry? You acknowledge by words that it is so, but how do your actions speak?. Here, boy, you go to bed now—just as he gets settled to read the paper, which all the rest have read—you go to bed so that you can get up and build the fire in the morning. Boy, you wait, the seats at the table are full with out you, with an emphasis on the you, which plainly means you are of LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS no account. Boy, go drive those cattle out of the corn anti away he goes as fast as his little legs can carry him, while you and a half dozen others stand still and watch him; he must go on all the errands, and not only go, but must run of er rands; he must carry all the water, must do all the little, mean, nasty jobs, that neither you nor your men will do. He must get the cows every time afoot, while there are three or four horses lying still in the stable; and not only must he do all these things, but he must be blamed for doing them as he does them. If the men have a little bile they want to w’ork off, they scold the boy. If your supper does n »t rest well on your stomach, you accuse the boy of leaving the gate open last week, or of some other ancient fault ot his. It the gate gets off its hinges, the boy did it. Iflhe old rooster dies, that careless boy fed him coin from the salt-dish. If a sheep gets its leg broke, that ugly, little boy did it, throwing stones at it. If the pail is lost, the boy dropped it in the well. If any tool is mislaid, the boy—the boy is the cry—left it out of place. He is the one that steals all the pears, breaks all the forks, kills all the geese, founders all the horses, eats all the preserves and gets all the blame; and not only does all th^ wrong things but he never does any thing well. Ifhe turns the grind stone for two hours al a time, he does it too slow. If he increases his speed, he turns too last; no mat ter ifhe works like a lttle steam en gine, he is still that liazy boy. If lie works till he faints away, he is good for nothing, always gelling sick. He never has a toy. unless his cousin from the city give him a cast off fish line or a broken kite; but that matters little, for he never is al lowed a moment for play. He never has any clothes of his own. His shoes are some his older brother out-grew, but which there is little danger of his out-growing.— His hat is one you wore out first.— He never has but a very few new things, and would n)t have these but for his mother. He is generally tough—you say- on account of your admirable train ing. The world looks at him and says he is tough, because he has to be, and because Providence has seen fit to prepare him for your ty rannical rule. “Now, Mr. Farmer, does this mean you? I- this, or is it not, a fair pic ture of the boy on your farm ? If not, then you can finish this article with out a troubled conscience ; but, if it ;s, just consider one moment: run back in your mind thirty-five, forty or fifty years, and ask yourself were all those accusations just ? Was it mi/.faultalways when 1 was blamed ? Think a while—it won’t hurt you; then cofhe back from your reverie to the present moment; ask your self if you have been just? Have you been patient ? Have you been as careful as you might in your judgments ? Have you done to the boy as you would be done by ? An swer these questions, friend as you are a just man. Consider that your boy is the em bryo man. Do by him as you would have him do when he grows up lo manhood. If you would have him generous, do not be small and stingy with him. If you would have him one whose disposition is lovely, be not churlish and sour to him, for he may in fnany things—most assured ly iu some things—be the photograph of yourself.—Exchange. Something to Shoot.—1 say, boy, is there any thing lo shoot around here?” inquired a sportsman of a boy he met. “Well,” replied the boy, “nothing just about here; but our school-mas ter is just over the hill, cutting birch rods; you might walk up and pop him over.” There is a kind of magic in truth which forcibly carries the mind along with it. Men readily embrace the dictates of sincere reason. social evils, to many habits and prac tices which ruin the* health and the morals of our sons and our daughters in a great many cases. lfbo\sand gills from fifteen and upwards do not find amusements at home, espe cially during the long winter evqjr- ings, they sigh for places where ex- hiIcratio*i .can be found ; tin sons for the slieel—the daughters for the dance, for the visiting those of their associates whose homes a e mon lively. Young people cannot be expected to have books and newspapers al ways in tfieir hands, or sit demutely by the family fireside by the hour, in hemming and stitching and knit ting. Games and pastimes should be more fieely introduced into our families ; there should be more off bund visiting, of informal calls, calls, where one neighbor can drop into another neighbor’s house after dark, and spend ;ih hour or two in in unrestrained social intercourse, without form or ceremony, for two or three nights in every week ; thus giving air, exercise and recreation. — Hall's Journal of Health.

Woods dirt is one o! the best mulches that, can be used; it is one of the absorbents for the stable, and as a loam and fertilizer for soil it cannot he excelled. It is good upon all kinds of soil, and is as cheap as the air. Leaves and loam form an excel lent material lor house hanking and for covering vegetables buried in the fields or garden.
