She f wt'fi (Turner. PRESS ON. The golden tinged hours Os life's early day, Like the waves of the ocean, Are rolling away; Then rise from thy dreams, And boldly press on, Ere the moments, so precious, Have vanished and gone. For something that’s noble, Praiseworthy and great, Even fame’s laurel wreath, Strive early and late; Weary not in well doing— Rest not in the strife— Press upwards and onward In the battle of life. If hopes that we cherished, In life’s early spring, Around our sad hearts No longer do cling. If sorrows have gathered— Whatever thy lot, Press onward through life— • Let the past be forgot. If friends that we loved In bright days of Desert when dark clouds Os adversity lower— Still be of good courage And nobly press on, ’Till justice has triumphed, And victory is won. Wit, WWm, -Men of polish—boot-blacks. -A good example is the best sermon. -A rare mind—mind your own business. -We should keep our word, even to the undeserving. -The hood which the ladies take to most is manhood. -Search others for their virtues, and thyself for thy vices. -An old maid is like an old boot —of no use without a fellow. -The rich think that people with naught are necessarily naughty. -Wisdom often comes to us too late in life to be of much service to us. -Every art is best taught by example ; good deeds are productive of friends.

-Prentice save that in his city, 1 stuffing improves the fair as well T as the fowl. -It is best not to be angry; and i best in the next place to be quick- t ly reconciled. -When Utah is admitted into the f Union it should be called the State e of Matrimony. ® -Every prayer put forth has its s effects on the one who utters it, 1 and so of every curse. i -Of all earthly music, that which reaches farthest into heaven is the 1 beating of a loving heart. -Give your son a trade and you do more for him than by giving him a fortune.— Franklin. < -If a body catch a body taking ( his “umbreller,” should a body ’ kick a body till a body “beller ?” ! Agriculture is the most useful, ( the most healthful and most noble ] employment of man.— Washing- 1 ton. -Nearly every evil has its com- 1 pensation. If a man has but one foot, he never treads on his own corns. ( -“Better be alone than in bad company.” True, unfortunately, many persons are never in such bad company as when they are alone. -The red, white and blue—the red cheeks, the white teeth, and the blue eyes of a lovely girl, are as good flag as a'young soldier in the battle of life need fight under. -A good man, who has seen much of this world says, “the grand essentials to happiness in this life are, somethingto do, something to love, and something to hope for.” -“Mother,” said a little boy, the other day, “I know what I would do if I were at sea, and all the men were starving, and they should draw lots to see who should be killed and eaten, and it should come to me, I’d jump into the water.” “But,” said tbe mother, “they would fish you up.” “Ah,” •aid he, “but I wouldn’t bite.” -A good brother in one the rural districts thought that he had a call to preach. Being an indifferent reader, he got a friend to read the scriptures. A chapter on one occasion was the 22d Genesis, which contains the verse: “These eight did Milcah bear to Nabor, Abraham’s brother.” On this the preacher held forth as follows: “Brethren and sisters, let us conaider our blessings. Morning and evening our wives and daughters milk our cows, and thus supply our wants. But in the days of good old Abraham, as you have just heard, it took eight to milk a bear, and they did not get much at that

£arm & gsntttoH. Maxims for Farmers. An old Illinois farmer gives the following maxims for farmers to practice: When you wake up do not roll over, but roll out It will give you time to ditch all your sloughs, break them up, harrow them, sow them with timothy and red clover. One bushel of timothy is enough. Make your fence high, tight and strong, so that it will keep cattle and pigs out If you have brush, make your lots secure, and keep your hogs from the cattle, for if the corn is clean they will eat it better than if it is not Bo sure you get your hands to bed at 8 o’clock—they will rise early by the force of circumstances. Pay a hand, if he is a poor hand, all you promise him, if he is a a good hand, pay him a little more, it will encourage him to do better. Always feed your haads as well as you do yourself, for the laboring men are the bone and sinew of the world, and ought to be well treated. I am satisfied that getting up early, industry and regular habits are the best medicines ever prescribed for health. When it comes rainy, bad weather, cut and split your wood. Make your tracks, when it rains hard, cleaning your stable, or fixing something which you would have to stop the plow for and fix in good weather. Make your tracks, fixing your fences or gate that is off its hinges, or weather-boarding your barn where the wind has blown off the siding, or patching the roof of your house or bam. Study your interest closely, and don’t spend money and time in electing presidents, senators and other small officers, and don’t talk of hard times when spending your time in town whitling on storeboxes.

Take your time and make your calculations; don’t do things in a hurry, but do them at the right time and keep your mind as your body employed. S. P. Mayberry writes to the Maine Farmer: “A few years since, we used to cultivate amongst our apple trees, but took a lesson from nature. Now we know that forest trees drop their leaves, which serve both to protect the roots and loosen the soil. This we imitate by mulching with straw and meadow hay, which we find preferable to cultivating the soil, as it is less work and better secures the object in view.” Hogs, geese and turkeys, while fattening, should have a plentiful supply of charcoal, and rotten wood, not mixed in their food, so as to compel them to eat it, but left where they can take all they want, and as often as they want it. Hogs provided with charcoal, salt, rotton wood, pure water and a clean bed, do not have measles, diseased liver, or trichina. Potato Rolls.—Boil two pounds of potatoes, pass through a cullender, or mash them well; add two ounces of butter and a pint of milk,a little salt, one gill of yeast, and as much flour as will make a soft dough: set them to rise. When light, cut them in cakes; let them rise one hour, and bake. Sweet potatoes make beautiful biscuits mixed as above.

Shbep in the Orchard.—The Prane Farmer says: “One of our most prominent orchardists tells us that in one of his orchards where sheep ran during the season, the apple crop was almost entirely unaffected by the coding moth.— Next season his entire orchard will be pastured with sheep. This is an item worth remembering.” A correspondent of the Rural American recommends the following cure for lice on cattle: Take 12 or more good-sized Irish potatoes, pound them fine, putthem into two gallons and a half of water, boil thoroughly, then let it cool, and apply as a wash, to cows, calves, mares and colts, and all other creatures that have lice. Trimming Evergreen Hedges. The Farm and Fireside says: “By cutting back with a knife, the foliage of the interior of any evergreen hedge is more perfectly preserved than by shearing a smooth surface like a wall, which makes the surface only extremely dense, and tends to exclude light from the interior.” An agricultural society in New York, recently, spent several days in arguing how flax grew. Every one had a theory, and labored earnestly to show that he alone was right. Finally, byway of settlement, one suggested the propriety of sprouting some of the seed. It was done, and lo!—all were wrong. It is said that frozen potatoes make more starch than fresh ones; they also make nice cake. In fifteen years, sheep have increased in Ireland, 2,000,000,
