A Negro Discussion About Egg*.
Geneva, the lovely village on Seneca

parliamentary ruling : “ In the birest vil
lage of Western New York, the 'culled pus-
sena,’ in emulation of their white brethren,

I propose to apply' a little common sense
to this business. If I have a likely Dur
ham steer, which I wish to have grow in
to the full development of liis breed, I
keep him on something more than a limi
ted quantify of bog bay. I do not stir hiui
up with a pitchfork before he has his nap
out, and insist on his being driven ten
miles before lie hits anything to cat. I do
not take pains to give him the meanest
bed I can find for him. 1 know perfectly
well that that animal will not grow up
strong and sound, fit and full, the pride
of the farm and the gem of the stall, un
less 1 give him ail abundance of the best
food, a clean and comfortalde place to sleep
in, and just as long naps as he sees fit to
take. The horse, which in its organization
more nearly approaches man than the
steer, is still more sensitive of the infer
ence of generous living. How much pluck
and spirit will a horse get out of a ton of
rye straw ? The truth is, that good and
abundant diet is not only essential to the
highest physical health and development
of man, Imt it modifies very importantly'
the development and manifestation of the
soul. A man cannot acquire courage by
feeding on theories and milk. All Eng
lishman cannot fight without beef in his

TALKIN'!! IN KCSTATKS.
Anil now that 1 am upon this subject of
talk, it will he well to say all 1 have to say
upon it. It is a very common tiling for
young women to indulge in hyperbole.—
A pretty dress is very apt to be “ perfect
ly splendida disagreeable person is too
often “ perfectly hateful a party in
which the company enjoyed themselves
somehow becomes transmuted into the
“most delightful thing ever seen.” A
young man of Yespcctablc parts and man
ly bearing is very often “ sueh a magnifi
cent fellow !” The adjective “ perfect,”
that stands so much alone as never to have
the privilege of help from comparatives, is
sadly over-worked, in company with sev
eral others of the intense extravagant or
der. The result is, that by the use of
such language as this, your opinion soon
becomes valueless.
A woman who deals only in superla
tives demonstrates at once the fact that
her judgment is subordinate to her feel
ings, and that her opinions are entirely
unreliable. All language thus loses its
power and significance. The same words
tare brought into use to describe a ribbon
jn a milliner's window as are employed in
the endeavor to do justice to Thalberg’s
.execution of Beethoven’s most heavenly
symphony. The use of hyperbole is so
common among women that a woman’s
.criticism is generally without value. Let
me insist upon this thing. Be more econo
mical in the use of your mother tongue.
Apply your terms of praise with precision;
use epithets with some degree of judg
ment and fitness. Do not waste your best
and highest words upon inferior objects,
and find that when you have met with
something which really is superlatively
great and good, the terms by which you
would distinguish it have all been thrown
away upon inferior things—that you are
bankrupt in expression. If a thing is simp
ly good, say so; if pretty, say so; if very
pretty, say so; if sublime, say so; if mag
nificent, say so; if splendid say so. These
words all have different meanings, and you
may say them all of as many different ob.
Jpcts, and not use the word “ perfect"
finpe. That is a very large word. Voq
will probably be obliged to save it fog ap-
shall understand, but though the glorious
consummation was unexpected, the prep
aration had been the work of many minds
during years of alternate triumph and dis
appointment
Physical as well as mental training is
necessary for the accomplishment of life
victories. But when the intellect is well
cultivated, the bodily energies are often
uncultivated. The mind, like friction up
on a machine not lubricated, wears out
the mechanism of the body, and its grow
ing weakness and disorder nullify the
power it envelopes. How often a blanch
ed check, emaciated limbs and feeble mus
cles mark the successful student, who
drops into the grave when he is about to
reach the goal of his aspirations! We of
America have much to learn upon this
point. A system of intellectual forcing
culture—a habit of putting boys to the
business of men—has produced a species
of precocity which however much it may
awaken astonishment at the wonderful de
velopments, will leave—nay, lias left—
manifold evils. At the rate we are now
progressing, the time is not far distant
when sucli a thing as boys will be entire
ly unknown. Now the lads of ten have
tlic manners of maturity, and the girls of
a lesser age often women in all but phys
ical development The one criticise plays
ami play-actors, and adopt tlic excesses of
majority ; the other talk of beaus and la
ces, and dress as flippantly as their moth
ers, and arc scarcely less rotund in their
proportions.
To the want of physical culture there is
also to be added a neglect of moral les
sons. What school in America teaches
“ the humanities,” as they should be
taught ? Where is principle laid down as
the basis of all great effects ? Honorable
action, not in the received sense, which is
promptitude in resenting any conceived
insult or suspected affront—but honora
ble action, meaning that squared upon the
golden rule, “do unto others as you would
they should do unto you,” inculcated as
the highest guarantee of ndble results ?
Success achieved, even if it be obtained
by chicanery, double dealing, and all per
versity, is cheered by the multitude. And
thousands feil simply because they have
a misconceived notion of manliness—a
weak appreciation of moral principle.
Our teaching is wrong ; our example is
wrong; our praise and our censure arc of
ten wrong; and the result is that we see
fewer of those men—self-made—strong in
rectitude as the eternal truth ; firm in
principle as the living rock; pure in char
acter as the mountain stream ; and vigor
ous in mind and body as the sturdy oak—
who shed honor on our early history.

fanner is an enterprising, diligent man, it
is told by the horses and cattle in their
rounded forms, sleek coats and bright
eyes; in their playful, happy freaks, and
in their quiet, comfortable repose.
It is read in the growing crops and the
well-filled barns—related to every travel
er by the fences and the gates, the barns
and the stables. It is heard in the lowing
of the sheep, the satisfied grunts from the
pig pen, and proclaimed from the very
housetop, in the clarion notes of the cock.
It is seen in thrifty orchards, in the air
of neatness and thoroughness that per
vades the whole domain. The farm may
be small, the land naturally none of the
best, the buildings cheap; but natural
difficulties are, as fer as possible, over
come, and the owner, it is very plainly to
be seen, is master, instead of the slave, of
circumstances.
The slothful, negligent farmer cannot
hide himself His character and his faults
are emblazoned on the dead tops of his
orchard trees—chattered by the loose
boards that dangle in the wind—bleated
by half-starved calves—told in the pitiful
looks and speaking eyes of forlorn horses
and cattle.
The poor fences and poorer crops, the
fine weeds among the corn and potatoes,
and finer thistles in the meadow, speaks
in living words the habits and character
of the owner. The farm may be natural
ly the best in the country, the building
costly, but these things only set off in
more brilliant colors the foriornness that
pervades the whole. Was this truth ever
remembered, that the character of the
farmer is seen in the farm, we think many
would strive to have their farms speak for
them better things than they now da

The Hartford Times vouches for the
truth of the following story:

on their walls as others, or does the even

them, when they gather around the piano
after a day’s labor is finished ? Ah, my

take in your reckoning.”
Of all the occupations, give me that of
the farmer. It is the most beautiful; his
life is freer from care, his sleep is sweeter,
his treasures safer. A farmer need not be
a slave of any, for he has none to please
but himself Not so with almost any
tradesman, mechanic or professional man.

A Caution to Young Men.
A young medical student from Michi
gan who had been attending lectures in
New York for some time, and considered
himself exceedingly good looking and fas
cinating, made a deadly onset on the
heart and fortune of a blooming young
lady who was boarding in the same house
with him. After a prolonged seige the
lady surrendered. They were married on
Wednesday morning. The same after
noon the “young wife" sent for and ex
hibited to the astonished student “ a beau
tiful little daughter,” three and a half
years of age.
“ Good Heavens! then you were a wid
ow,” exclaimed the astonished student
“ Yes, my dear, and this is Amelia, my
youngest; tomorrow Augustus, James
and Reuben will arrive from the country,
and then I shall have Ml my children to
gether once more.”

er improve your morals, health, nor your
beaut}'. Marry as soon as you can shape
your affairs to support a wife. But when
you marry don't fell in love with a face
instead of a woman. Remember that com
mon sense is a rare virtue, much better
than silver, gold, and fashion. Don’t court
and marry crinoline, and money bags, be
cause it is crinoline or gold in plenty ;—
but look for sound, practical sense in a
woman first; that is the touch stone to
try her other qualities by.
When you have that, all else comes.—
Your wife that is to be, if she's full of
common sense, will grow to your way of
thinking and make you grow to hers. A
woman who has womanly love in her
heart, will find ways to make your love
towards her grow as the years go over
you both. And another thing need to be
heeded, and that is, a common sense wo

whirl, where there is simply idle gossip
and little brain.
Young man! don’t stand looking after
that young woman who has the distin

creature who will think enough of you to
go with you to the end of the world, and
stay by and comfort you when you get
gray-haired and fidgety.
