■ Have a Place for Every thing, and
Every thing in Its Place."
For want of this, much valuable time is
lost, and by observing it much perplexity is
avoided. Let no one sny this as stale as A,
11, C ; for A, B, C, must be taught and taught
strain, and it is by repetition that primary lea-.
sons at school are mostly impressed.
A farmer who commenced his career in the :
observance of this rule, after a time suffered
his vigilance to abate, aud before lie was thir
ty, both his hired men and his boys would very
often leave his tools where thev were last us
ed, and many of the most important moments
of their time were spent in searching and en
quiring for the missing implements ; and as |
those who had last used them were not always j
to be found, he was, at times, obliged to send
some distance to a neighbor, to borrow. Ills j
children becoming addicted to the same easy
habits, they w ere thus entailed upon children
and grandchildren, and most have had an im- 1
jmrtant influence in stamping upon them that j
characteristic want of system and thrift for j
which they are now remarked.
A clerk who had occasion to use his scissors j
many times a day, would lay them at one time
on his desk, at another in his wimlow, some-;
times among his papers, and not unfreqaently j
in his drawer. The consequence was, that
when there was the most occasion for despatch,
then there was the most confusion and delay
all which might have been avoided by proper
care in this aud similar cases.
A youth whose habits had not been suffi
ciently watched by his mother, (though a most
affectionate one she was,) when he retired "to
lied, had no particular place for his clothes,
but would mostly throw them about upon the
floor, the bed, or the chair, without caring
which, so that whatever was the emergency,
when he had occasion to dress iu the night,
each particular garment was to be felt after,
and adjusted before he could l>e dressed. Even
the calamities he so often read übout oecurriug
from fires and robber)*, the disturbance at
times occurring among his father's cattle, or
sheep, or fowls—all were uot sufficient to im
press upon him the importance of having a
place for each article of his clothing, and each
011 c at all times in its place ; aud so never ac
quiring these habits himself, his chihlrcu grew
up with the same defect, and it might be said
that the parent's want of system in this respect
was transmitted from children to grand children.
A child who had been very carefully trained
by his mother, wlidu he was sent to boarding
school, reflected real honor upon his home in
struction, by the remarkable neatness and sys
with which his books and other matters were
always adjusted in his desk ; and his clothing
in his trunk and his cupboard were so careful
ly placed, that lie was never at a loss to find
any article he needed, even iu the darkest
night. A person well acquainted with his mo
ther, remarked, on opening his trunk, "Ah !
I see in this the print of his mother's fingers."
When this youth would undress himself at
night, you might sec his shoes and stockings
at the foot of the bed post near the head of
the bed, with a garter in each shoe, his pants
hung upon the top of bod post, ami his coat
and vest upon the back of a chair near by, so
that he knew at all times where to lay his hand
ujxm any article of dress lie needed. The
Kamc kind of order aud system was to be seen
throughout the family, and iu every drawer
and closet of the house, so that the daughters
of these parents were not less thorough than
the son, and iu after life honored their mo
ther's care, and transmitted the same orderly
habits to after generations.— Farm Journal.
Regularity in Feeding Cattle.
Stephens in his " Book of the Farm/' gives
the following illustration of the necessity of
regularity ami method of agricultural duties :
In thus minutely detailing the duties of the
cattle-men, my object has been to show you
rather how the turnips and fodder should be
distributed relatively than absolutely; but
whatever hour and minute the cattle-mau finds,
from his experience, he can devote to each por
tion of his work, you should sec that he per
forms the same ojwration at the same time
every day. By paying strict attention to time,
the cattle will be ready for and expect their
wonted meals at the appointed times, aud will
not complain until they arrive. Complaints
from his stock should be distressing to every
farmer's ears, for he may be assured they will
not complain until they feel hunger, and if al
lowed to hunger they will not only lose con
dition, but render themselves, by discontent,
less capable of acquiring it when the food hap
pens to be fully given. Wherever you hear
lowings from cattle, yon may safely conclude
that matters arc conducted there in an irregu
lar manner. The cattle-mau's rule is a simple
one, and easily remembered. " Give food and
and fodder to cattle at fixed times, and dis
pense them in a fixed routine." I had a strik
ing iustance of the bad effects of irregular at
tention to cattle. All old staid laborer was ap
pointed to take charge of cattle, and was
quite able and willing to undertake the task.
He got his own way at first, as I had observ
ed many laboring men display great ingenuity
in arrauging their work. Lowings were soon
heard from the stock in all quarters, both in
and out of doors, which intimated the want of
irregularity in the cattle-man ; while the poor
creature himself was constantly in a state of
bustle and uneasiness. To [Hit an end to this
disorderly state of things, I apportioned his
entire day's work by his own watch ; and on
implicitly following the plan he not oniy satis- j
tied the wants of every animal committed to
his ehurge, but had abundant leisure to lend
a hand to anything that required his tempo
rary assistance. His old heurt overfl'owed
with gratitude when he found the way of mak
ing all his creatures happy, and his kiuduess
to them was so undeviating, they would have
done whatever he liked.
To MAKE GRAFT WAX. —One pound tallow,
two pounds beeswax, four pounds rosin, all
pure ami clean articles ; put the whole into an
iron pot, and heat them until they come to a
foam ; then turn the heated mass into a tub
of water ; then with greasy hands work thor
oughly, as shoemaker's wax is worked.
SKI.KCTION OK GRAFTS.— Mr. Stowell says
that in selecting grafts, tukc the twigs from
those branches which have borne fruit the pre
vious season ; or if you want buds, take from
those which have fruit uj>on them. By be
ing careful as to this, you will get fruit, usual
ly, in two seasons.

If you have contracted the terrible disease, which when

generation to another, undermining the constitution, and
sapping the very vital fluids of life, do not trust yourself
in tne hands of Quacks, who start up every day in a city

well calculated to deceive the young and those not ac

the selection of a remedy in these cases.
The fluid extract Burhu has been pronounced by emi

THE GREATEST REMEDY EVER KNOWN.
It is a medicine perfectly pleasant in its taste. and very
innocent in its action,and yet sd thorough that it annihi

disease ; and, unlike other remedies, it does not dry up
the disease in the blood.

terrible disease, which has brought thousands of the hu
man race to untimely graves, thus blasting the brilliant
hopes of parents, and blighting in the bud the glorious
ambition of manv a nohle vonth, can be cured by this

This article is now pre cribed by some of the most dis

(most articles none.) thus avoiding their wear upon a
wash board.
4th. It requires less than one half the time and labor to
do the washing of a family, that it requires with the best
family soap ; does not Injure the fabric and tends to set
the colors.
