There is a largo old kitchen somewhere in the

With Its smooth old Jambs of qtono—smooth with

Smooth with ritany littlo'fingert that have clung

old-fashioned gtandmplhor, and tho old ballad,
In tho dear, old times, and wo can hardly sco to
writ© for the memory of them, though it is a
hand’s breadth to the subset.-
.Well, sho sang. Her voice was feeble and
wavering, like a fountain just ready to full, but
then how swcct-toncd -If tvasi and it became

Woods;” who Jay down sldo by side in tho great
solemn shadows; ond how strangely glad wo
felt when (ho robin-redbreast covered them with
loaves; and last of all, when the angels took
them out of tho night into day everlasting.
v Wo may.think what wo will of it now; but tho

In our yesterdays* Attribute whatever wo may

which make that fitter’s day wo call life radiate

.Then sho sings an old lullaby sho sang to
mother —her mother sang to-hor’;’ but sho does
not sing It through, and falters cro ’(ls done.—
Sho rests her head Upon her hands, ond it is si
lent in’ (ho old kitchen. Something glitters
down between hfcr fingers ond tho firelight, and
it looks like rain in tho soft sunshino. Tho old
grandmother is thinking when sho first heard
tho song, ond of tho voice that sung It; when a

most important member of the family, and ; as
shrewd a horse as ever need be. . Lately he had
found out .tho difference between being harness
ed by ahoy andaman. Accordingly-,on several
occasions, as soon as tho halter dropped from
his head, and before .iho bridle could take its
place, he proceeded to back boldly out of the
stable, in spite of the stout boy .pulling with*
all his might at his mane and cars. This par
ticular morning wo were to put passenger

there were in, which to. exercise his legs and

, While op a pic-nio excursion with a party of
young people, discerning a crow’s peat on a,
rocky precipice, they started bn “in' great glee
to soo who could reach il first. Their haste fac
ing greater than prudence. Some lost their
holds, ;apd were soon, rolling and tumbling
down tho hill-side, bomrets.-smashed, clothes
torn, postures ridiculous, but not one hurt.—
Then commenced a scene of violent and long- ;
continued laughicr, and in which, being all
young people, Well acquainted with each other,*
and in the woods, they indulged - to’ a perfect
surfeit. They roared out with merry peal on

Those who havo never kept, in detail, a rcc*
! ord of the income and expenditure of the farm,
. will find the present just the period lb com-'
■, raence on operation of this nature. ’-You ought
to know, at* tljo. expiration of each year, tbc
amount that has passed through your hands—
tHd receipts, and what has been paid opt—what
purchased, and frhat soldi'nnd the exact state
of your finances, Any person.'doing business

He Systematic— Herd we have dhc of llio first
principles of successful agriculture. Let all

wo would say, do so, if for no,other object than
as a ready means of comparison.

yourself, nor permit yoijr men (o glide over their
labors. "If it is.worlh uaing at all, it is worth
doing well,** would prove a golden maxim to
thousands 'of fanners if they would only
adopt it as a portion of their creed, but exem
plify its (cachings in their-dolly life. Away
with these seratchers— men that go beneath the

: Lcabe your Land in gdod heart .—Tt should
