“NOT WORTH THE WHILE.” Sr. ANseErym of the ancient day, With fasts and vigils worn away, ! Ugon his couch ot hemlock lay, ust as the starsbad seep him lie, With nothing, as the years swept by, Betwixt his forehead and the s&. & And while the seasons came and went, He toiled, on Christly errands bent, | Not thinkiug in his sweet content, Of selfish ease, if orly so : He mith. in passing to and fro, . Make less the weight of human woe. This night (it may be that he dreamed), - Ason the ground he lay, there gleamed Such radiance round him that he deemed (How glad the thought!) it might be seme Celestial stranger who had come To call him from his exile home. He saw no form, but as his ear He bent in reverent awe to hear, These ‘words came to him, low ard clear: . ** Have pity on thyself: instead Of avhing on this roofless bed, Rear thou a house to shield iy head.” %‘he saint made answer: ** It were well knew what space 1 have to dwell Yet in the flesh—if thou canst tell.” | | * Ten toiling years.” The tender wile | Anselm rebuked with patient smile: | | % Ten only? ’7Tisnot worth the while!” —Margaret J. Preston, in Lippincott’s Magazine.

SOMETHING OVERLOOKED. It is not a little singular that no sooner has a boy his first jacket and trousers on than a . dutiful -father and mother begin to think of his future, and cast about for ways and means by which he shall by-and-by earn his livelihood. Has he a taste for mechanics, a skill in bargaining? is he fond of his books? does he love the sea? What shall his profession be? How is he to take care of himself and of those that are dear to him, and how shall he be put in the way of it? And meanwhile nobody says.a word about the girl’s trade, business, profession, or livelihood. z * Who is there, or has there been, to worry about the girl, in the same manner, as she begius to lengthen her skirts and’ turn up her hair? So far from anyone’s taking the thing to heart, it seems seldom to occur to any that it is either necessary or desirable that she should have a business, or earn a livelihood, or make opportunity for taking care of herself. She is going to marry; her business is to de it; marriage is every girl’s profession, and-she is brought up to understand it; s taught to know and to display her wares, to make herself attractive, and, ‘‘not to put too fine a point upon it,” to look out for a proper bidder. Yet not by any means is she taught exactly and precisely to marry for money; her teachings, chiefly tacit ones, lie more in the line of the old farmer’s instruciions to his son: “Doant thou marry for munny. but goa wheer _munny is;” ‘ | and if she obeyed them—these tacit instructions, given in the admiration expressed daily for this one’s toilet and that one’s equipage and the other one's home—she . would but rarely allow her affections to nun away with her where money isnoet. -« * - ¢ b ‘

But suppose the girl does not marry? Then she is to be a fixture in her father’s house while he has one, or in some sister’s or brother’s house if the other fails. [f there is money there, to enjoy the crumbs thatfall frem the rich man’s table as she may; and if there is poverty, to work and wait;cut and contrive, and do the ‘duties, without receiving the wages, of a common servant. A few girls out of the great army do go out to service, become nursery governesses, teachers, or whatever it is that fate obliges or enables them to turn a hand to. Many as they are numerically, they are but few—a handful—besit{e the great majority of girls who stay at home partly because other girls in their set do, partly because it is: pleasant, ' partly- because no one has ever told:them of’ the:shamefulness of letting others work for them while théy sit at their ease. ; j ' It is, of course, from kindness and a mistaken tenderness that girls are thus unprovided for so frequently. Parents cannot bear the idea- of these delicate young creatures going out into the world and \irgrkinﬁ for ‘their own support; they themselves will take care of them while they live—and after them the deluge. Look at the lives of the grea,ter part of our young ladies whose families arein more than ordinarily comfortable cumstances. We can hardly portray it better'to-duy than in words used more than a hundred ‘and fifty years 1 ago on the same theme: ‘‘l have often thought there has not been sufficient pains taken in finding out proper employments and diversions for the fair ‘ ones, Their. amusements seem contrived for them. rather ~as they are ‘women than as they are reasonable creatures, and are more adapted to the sex than to the species. The toilet is their gredt' secene of business, and the riglht wd{vustiniof their hair the principal employtient 'of ' their lives. The sorting of g suit of ribbons is reckoned a verg good morning’s work; and if they muke an excursion toa mercer’s or a toy-shop, so gréat a fatigue makes them unfit for anything else all the day after. 'Th'ei,;fgioitq pgmchugaﬁ}fm are sewing and embroidery, and . their catst s&@‘«3’3’%&%&l@9@, of Emeﬁwmwﬁmmem;}ﬁ. 18, 1 say, is m state of 9rdinarg#}. wm&zghm& 4 ow there are mul m : J;’ﬁ@ 9se of a mm?M%mf nd: conversation, that move 'in an . exulted f?hm of knowledge and virtue, that join all the i e s ' dress, and inspire a kind of'awe and respect as well as love into -their male

Thus for a century and a half there has been but little improvement in this regard ag to the management of young women who ‘are not driven to seeking occupation and .recompense outside their homes by necessity, or, if not by direst necessity, still. by a consciousness that life will be the easier to those left behind for the effort they thus make. : ; i

~ Yet, in‘'the fluctuations of fortune that render every one’s affairs somewhat unstable, it seems far more like cruelty than tenderness, be one ever so much a millionaire, to bring up a daughter possibly to be cast some day upon’ the world without any means even of feeding and clothing herself. Supbose one fails, suppose one dies, and . executors, or fortune-hunters, or lawsuits, make off with the estate? Suppose after one’s -death banks fail, or mills close, or railways water their stock, what then is to become of those darlings of fortune, lapped in luxury from birth, and now suffering enough from the ioss of all indulgences withoutv having the added horror of total inability to earn a cent, and either dependence or beggary awaiting them. It seems to-us that before! cona’emning our daughters to the possibilicy of any such fate, we would stifle our own feelings of tenderness, and make the present secute the future by teaching them gsome art, some craft, some trade, that shall be worth as much to them in their not impossible day of need as money in the bank. It may take part of a couple of years, a few hours of every ‘day after the school years are over; ‘and if it cannot be done without abandoning the acquisition of some additional accomplishment to those already attained, let the accomplishment be sacrificed. It will be found to stand them in stead in countless ways other than in the dim future which may never come, but which, if: it does come, brings infinitely less terror with. it when one can meet it armed and in full panoply. i - If the wealthier among our heads of families would think more than a passing thought on this subject, give it some serious attention, and put’the thing into practice in” their own families, the idea would have a sanction which none of the middle class are so well able to give. The latter would be supposed to do it because they must, the former because they prefer; if those of ‘‘first caste’ do so from preference, others will presently follow suit, and soon there will be no reason for or possibility of such a thing among them as a healthy female pauper. It is not necessary that every one of these daughters, rich or poor, should have a learned profession, be a doctor, a teacher, a lawyer, a preacher; a handicraft will answer the purpose quite as well,.chosen according to their aptitudd‘,‘ will answer sometimes even better, since in the lapse of years a profession ma{ be ou;igrown and lost forever, while a craft, even if a little rusty, is easily resumed, and the tools soon wear bright again with use; while there are peculiarly feminine crafts in the great attention ga‘.id to dress, which causes its care and design to rank nearly with the fine arts, especially in the reproduction of the styles of famous portraits of past reﬁimes, and in the guardisnship of health, and of children —occupations which are interesting and usefiil and honorable exactly in the proportion in which taste and fancy and intellect are made part of their elements.—Harper's Bazar. - j

A Base-Ball Romance. ~ In the bulk window of a Chesnutstreet_auction house is exposed a magnificent mahogany mace, tipped with elaborately-worked silver. For over an hour a very seedy individual, with red hair and a broken nose, lingered about the window with such a mysterious manner as to lead the officer on the corner to believe that his intentions were not good, so he ¢‘ took him in’’ on general principles. When the officer related to the Court his grounds for the arrest, and finding them not tenable, the Magistrate quizzed the prisoner as to who and what he was. - | : ‘“ What were you doing there?’ queried the Court. : ‘“Nothing, ' Jedge, simply admiring and meditating.”’ | fat ‘¢ Admiring what?”’ : ‘“That bat, Jedge, the beautiful baseball bat.” . ' (s “You are evidently an admirer of the game of base ball,” interposed the Court. S ‘No more, "Squire. Was once. I'm a martyr, I am. I'm no good any more. It's gone down now, has the game. " How I could scoop in a flyscraper? Shy that ink-stand at me, Jedge. Toss her sharp. Bounce her now. Hot, me boy, an’ I’ll show ver how to stop ’er. Igo, they won't have me no more; I'm played, they say. Gimme something. Bu'st off that table leg and gimme a swack at that inkstand. Fire her this way hot; and if 1 don’t show yer a homer yer-can send me down for good. e ““Ten years ago 1 was a big crab on the field; short stop, you know. All broke up now. Cougdn’t %et, a job now scraping the stick. I could skin over the bases like greased lightning runs. Throw open that door onee. Just hold her og_en two minutes, and see me get up and git. But, I reckon, I'm no account now’da.’ys, though.” 4 “You don’t look as' though you'd brin§a prize,” put in the Court. =43 “ Not for beauty, no. But for scars, Jedge; forscars I'm prime cheese; head of the heap. I'm a martyr, I am, but nobody would guessit.”” = ' o . *“A martyr ‘to what?”’' said ‘the Court. ¢ Sl B R

““'To sky-scrapers, Jedge; daisy cutters—homers, yer know. ‘laking ’em hot, right off the tip of the bat. Oh, es, I'm a martyr. '}l).)o edyou see that IymandP” and he exposed a palm about ag broad as a deal tablez with five horribly mashed fingers stickir;F from its edges. ‘“Them tells the tale. All of them b’sted time and again. Had 'm druv in clear up to the second j'int, and pulled out with tweezers dozens of times. Every ‘finger broke in six 'glaces;r« five times six, thirty; :thlr:g reakson the right hand, thirty bu'st on the left. Twice thirty, sixty; five twelves, sixty. Five dozen broken fingers in the cause, and ain’t worth a

Looks as though it was too big for the face, don’t it? I sacrificed her. Once it was the beautifullest nose as ever your eyes sot on, but a ball took her on the fly, with three ﬁngqrs. But I’'m no good. Oh! no, I don’t understand the game. Can’t even gaze on a prize bat, or meditate, but am run in. All right, Jedge. Sock ‘er to me. Send it hot. I'm on the home run, and you might as well put me out.”’ | He was putout in the street, and was heard to say, as he went through the door, tl;’,at he knew he¢ would be called upon tﬁ die for the c;use some time, to save it/ from disgrace.—Philadelphia Record. e : i

| The Care of Tools. G THE greatest tax imposed on the farmers of our country is for implements to cultivate and harvest their crc:f)s. Much of this tax is self-imposed and might be avoided if farmers took even reasonable care of their implements. No class of men give so little attention, or take so poor care of the implements they use, as do farmers. 1f engineers gave as little care to the locomotives and stationary engines under their charge, their lives would not be worth half what they are now, while accidents would be even more frequent. If the machinery of a factory received no better care tgan the machinery of a farm receives, the operatives would be out of employment a large portion of the time, and the stockholders would receive luss dividends than the original stockholders in most railroads. %\l‘en 'best qualified to know, state that farm implements receive more injury during the time they are not in use than during the period they are in operation. This loss is the result of carelessness, pure and undefiled. It deserves to be ranked as a sin 'rather than classed as an act of omission. - It is one of the causes of hard times that could be easily prevented. Perhaps one reason why farmers are S 0 careless about their implements is that they were not accustomed in early life to the use of ;anything very complicated. Most of the costly machinery now used on farms has been introduced within the past few years. At the period of its introduction, prices of produce were high .and farming was in a prosperous condition. This state: of things did not tend to making farmers careful and painstaking. They began to be careless with their machines, and the custom became second nature. Possibly, some farmers take little or no suitable care of their implements because they do not know what suitable care is. Generally, however, the carelessness one sees manifest in plows, harrows, reapers and mowers, being left out of doors during a long and changeable winter, is the result of procrastination. Itis not the intention at the time of leaving them tc let them remain in the fields, where they will be handy to use next season, but they are left temporarily, on account of the hurry of farm work; and having become rusty and being frozen in the ground, it is. concluded that they will not be injured much more by letting them remain. ;

All tools require to be kept in a dry and, if practicable, a tolerahly warm place. Moisture causes the decay of wood and the rusting of metals. Freezing causes injury to wood by expanding the pores when the moisture is congealed. In mostrespects, the upper, rather than the lower, part of a building is the best place to store tools. In the first place they are completely out of the way, do not require to be moved about, and are less liable to accidents. The barn floor is not the best place in the barn to store implements. - They are in the way there. Men and boys are liable to stumble over them, and if cattle and horses break -oose in the night a double'damage is liable to be dope. Dirt of every kind collects on a barn floor, and more or less of it will find its way into the journals of a machine, or will adhere to all kinds of surface. : ,

. All things considered, a place near the roof makes the best depository. There they occupy no room available for other purposes, and there the temperature will ordinarily be . found the warmest. Farmers might take a hint from carriage-makers, who so often put their choice materials on supports in the top of their shops, partially for convenience in getfing them out of the way, and partly because ,o?l the favorable temperature. - A painted surface will come out in the spring in the best possible condition if the article is inverted when putting it away, - All iron and steel surfaces should be clean and free from rust when they are Fut away, for rust seems to encourage urther rusting, as a minute spot will spread to much larger dimensions. Petroleum, hog’s lard or fat of any kind will afford protection against rusting by keeping away the moisture and air. A coating of these substances cai be much easier removed in the spring than a coating of rust. Mowing and reaping machines should be taken apart and thoroughly cleaned before putting away. All the gummy substances should ‘be removed from the journals by the use of a piece of hard wood, or other suitable substance that will leave no scratches, and if- the substance is unyielding it should be softened by petroleum, nap{ha or spirits of turpentine. When this is done the surface should be wiped dry with a soft cloth, and then covered or rubbed with oil.—Practical Farmer.. . ... . . .

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE. - THE people are so burdened by taxation and low prices that a nickel looks like the main wheel'in an old-fashioned horse tread-mill.—Ezchange. Cocoanvr Cookres.—Two cups of sugar, one cup of butter, two eggs, one ‘teaspoonful of soda dissolved in one tablespoonful of milk, one large cocoanut grated, and flour enough to roll it out. ' TWO TEASPOONFULS of finely-pow-dered charcoal, drank in a half tumbler of water, will, it is said, often give relief to the sick headache, when caused, as in most cases it is, by a superabundance of acid on the stomach. RoyAL CrAmMPETS.—Three teacups of raised dough, four tablespoonfuls of melted butter worked into the dough, three well-beaten eggs, one teacup of rolled sugar worked into the eggs. Some prefer it without the sugar. ’-lgt‘n'n into buttered pans and bake twenty minutes. i SHARPENED TooLs.—The good mechanic works with well-sharpened tools. If he does not, he will not succeed. The farmer who works with sharpened intellect stands in the same relation. to success in his profession as does the mechanic who works with sharp tools in his trade. ; 2 A’ TEASPOONFUL of ammonia to a basin of lukewarm water, and used with castiie soap, will wash the head nicely. Rub -the scalp thoroughly, rinsing well after, with clean water. It will prevent the hair falling out, by keeping it free from the musty smell S 0 common in hot weather.—Exchange. ,RAISED CAKE.—Three cups of milk, two cups of sugar, one cup of yeast; warm the milk a little and add flour to make a thick batter; let it rise, then add two cups of butter, one cup of sugar, another half-cup yeast, two eggs, a little more than a teaspoonful of muce, let it rise again; when light add one and one-half cups seeded raisins and bake.

WINTERS blessed with heavy snows are always expected to be followed by abundant crops. Why? Snow falling through the atmosphere absorbs from the air carbonic acid and ammonia, which, to a great extent, are retained by the water when the snow thaws, and, so far as this enters the soil, the gases are retained and “become the . poor man’s manure —fertilizing his land without costing him anything.—Jowa State Regtster. ; - CREAM Ple.—Place one pint of milk on the fire; when it boils add one-half cup of flour rubbed smooth in milk, boil together, then set where it will keep hot, but not boil. Add the yelks of two eggs and one-half cup of sugar, well beaten together. Have the crust previously baked, and put in the mixture. Beat thoroughly the whites of the eggs with sugar enough to make a stiff frosting, spread over the pies and bake to a light brown. Thisis enough for two pies. : ' * BALTIMORE PUDDING.—One cup of suet, chopped fine, or two-thirds cup of butter, one cup of boiling water, one cup of molasses, one cup of stoned raisins, three and one-half cups of flour, oné teaspoonful of soda, a little 'salt and all kinds of spices. Steam three hours. Sauce—One large tablespoonful of flour wet with cold water and ‘beaten very smoothly, one and one-half cups of boiling water; let these boil gently for half an hour or longer; while boiling add one cup of sugar and a little salt. Have ready in the dish the sauce is to be served in, one egg beaten very light; strain the contents of the basin over the eg%l, stirring rapidly. Flavor with vanilla.

Sheep in the Farming Economy. VERY few of the readers of the Review are strangers to the arguments which go to prove that sheep are an important factor in the economy of the farm. But some farmers will not'be convinced, and many others, though convinced, will not act in accordance with their convictions. In this fact will be found a sufficient explanation for the constant repetition of the truths in connection with sheep husbandry. The prominent consideration favoring the keeping of sheep is, it pays. This will be found true by nine out of every ten farmers in the grain and grass-producing States who have had experience therewith. With the markets: as they have averaged for any d=cade within the experience of those now living, a bushel of corn, a ton of hay, an acre of pasturage—in short, a given proportion of any of the feeding crops—put into the quality of wool and mutton best suited to the material surroundings of the farmer raising them, would have brought him more money than could have been realized from any other disposition of those products. Did he live near some thriving town and its consequent market, tﬁe demand for good meat insured him amarket at his door for such animals as he chose to spare from his flock. The otherwise unsightly spots on his farm were smoothly cropped, and made to add to the general profit, while securing the owner many compliments for the neatness and ° frugality of farm management. i | Did he live on the frontier, ox remote from market for meat or grain P—he has been able to so condense a thousand bushels of corn, or a crop of hay, as to make it possible for him to solve the ¢ transportation {woblem” by hauling the season's yield to market at a single load of his trusty team. The combination of managers which exacts two bushels of corn for earrying one to market, loses its terrors with such a man to the extent that "his sheep have made i;ipossiblfe for him to' crystallize the unwieldy pounds of rude products -i‘.nt«;l convenient ounces of fleece and esh. - . @ aeian

While such - considerations as these are 8o evident that the veriest.tyro in agriculture cannot fail to appreciate their force, there are others riot so evident, but which, if not taken into the account of his economy, will sooner or later force the results of theirneglect: hml:;e to his mind, and his pocket as IWBLL v 6 ] “Much water runs by the mill that the miller wots not of.”) Wastefulness: —the failure to turn to the best aecount everf available foot of ground, and carefully to gather all that is pro-.

duced—costs every farmer vastly more ‘than he thinks for. A flock of sheep .will do more in the direction of utilizing everything raised on the farm than ‘can be secured by anv other means. If :}lowed access to the rough pastures nd fence corners in the earlier season, scarcely a weed or a briar will escape death from their persistent nibbling. In this direction the goat is the sheep’s only {)eer; but with this peculiarity the parallel ceases—for while the one ren- ‘ ders a liberal return for all contributions toward its comfort and thrift, the ~other has as Iyl'et: failed to find a profita‘ble place in the farm economy. Weeds in pastures, the aftermath of meadows, ‘the late grasses and weeds which follow the plowman in the ¢¢laid-by”’ cornfield, the young shoots which come out in the timber clearing, the blades ‘and lost ears which often go to waste in the Western cornfield—all will be profitably employed, and can be effect‘ually eradicated, when exposed to the visits of the flock, which will, beside ‘its own thrift, brinf the added advantage of an enrichedsoil and consequent cconomical tillage with liberal returns in subsequent seasons. . e Such are some of the broad facts which stand out as irrefutable arguments in favor of a more general employment of sheep—appealing to some farmers to add to their numbers of such animals now on hand, while encouraging the great majority of those who have none to lose no time in enrolling themselves among the flockowners of the country.—Farmer’s Review.

The ' excessive cor%ulency of a certain United States Senator has long been the butt of editorial wit and spicy bdon mots from the pens of Washington correspondents. = Few persons have suspected that his obesity was a disease, and liable to prove fatal. Yet this is the sad fact. Excessive fatness is not only a disease in itself; but one liable to generate other and more serious ones.
