We have now reached the shortest day- of
the year, and every thins? stands in striking;
contrast with ttic iung bright days of June.—
We have hare, desolate hianei.es, for the sen
of living? jireeii ; a robe cf snow on every
lield, fo£ the verdant turf ; sheeted ice on ev
ery stream and lake, for the ri;>|)!in<? waters ;
eloud and storm, for the sonny ski s of Sum
mer. Nature hTds us pause and look back
over the vanished months. It is a time to
cum up the results of the year, not only to
square business accouuts with our feiiow men,
but to sit iu judgment upon our own relations
to the soil, and to society. One's manhood is
measured quite as much by his farming, as by
the offices he tilis, bv hi? plowing and sowing,
by his building and adorning, as by his speech !
making and voting. We may measure cur
eelves quite as wi.il by the plowshare as by the
badge of official place. A Justice cf the
Peace may lie greatly wanting in justice toward
his soil. A deacon may be unrighteous toward |
his farm and stock. A militia colonel may be
cowardly and inglorious upon his own acres,
A governor may tolerate al! sorts of insubor.
dination and bad citizenship among the sub
jeets of his farm. Weeds may grow rampant
and waste the riches cf his soil in riotous liv
ing. Goodness and greatness in our relations
to society, do not imply these virtues in rela
tion to the acres that are given us to be sub-1
dued, cultivated, and beautified.
We can not very well divert onr minds from ! .
this theme now. The clod is frozen, an ! the !
plow will not turn it. Al! the implements ol ,
husbandry have gone into Winter quarters. —
The lloeks, the trees, the shrubs, the grasses, |
are all hybernating. We cat: do little out o!
doors to advantage now, but we can do a large
business within, in these brie I days of Winter, i
The weather shuts us up to self communion
and to reflection upon the events of the past, j
The W ir.ter with icy fingers seems to interro
gate every tiiler of the soil, what sort of farm
er art thou ? What sort of virtues does your
business develop? A man's business has some
thing to do with his character, but the princi
ples on which lie conducts it, have much more
to do with it. . Yoa have reavlted another stage
in life's journey, aud bare time to cousider
what tour bus ae-? and your mode of munug
icg it, are doing for yoa.
Are yea a wise man, tested by your business
capacity? In the good old times when we
were boys, they used to charge us with having
eyes bigger than the stomach, and the heap ol
unused food upon the plate was an argument
in favor ol that position, rather hard to meet.
There s i. t a !•:. ? farming si owing the same
kind of wisdom. The tiiler of the soil is a; t
lu Lave very large cye, enppo.-ing that he
adds to bis wealth as he adds to his acres. —
With o: 7 e ; Jul etiott h to work tiiirtv m-r -
lie buys three hundred, and Lis large I urn
keeps h.m a stand, poor turn as Jong as h.
lives. lie sighs tor more land, am! looks t>>
this as the remedy for his poverty. The most
prof.ta! i • acre that he cultivates does n it pay
hint tci. ito.iurs above t:;o expense u! working
it, while his neighbor of fctv acres, gets one,
and sometimes two hundred dollars an acre
net. Every year the large lauded proprietor
but -mail cupi\;!i.st, comes out with little or
nothing beyond world: g c.v' nscs, and this
gives a sad eo! ring to ids wlicde life. He suc
ceeds in notid.ig that he nlttinpts. I-ii, -
passion for more land, when we cave not tu
rn cans to i : a litll •we 1, wl-e? I-. tin re. ,i
--ey related to one of these large landholders
and poor farmer- ? Mow is a good time to
vindicate your reputation for wisdom ; to sell
off your unused acres anc. to turn over a new
leaf in hu>bu: dry.
Are you a just man? You received so; te
twenty years ago, perhaps, a good farm. It j
was in gobd heart then, making fifty bushels of
corn, thirty bushels of wheat, and two or three
hundred ct potato: s tj u. acre, without much
manure. Possibly this farm has rim down un
der your management, so tout it docs not pro
duce half the quantity of products, or carry
half the stock it did, ulmu it lirsl came into
your possession. It has been over cropped
jtud under manured, so that of neci -ity it !;as
given out. You will say the farm was yours,
and you have a right to do what yon will with
your own. But your horse is your own, yet
you have no right to abuse hitn. Your house
is your own, hut you have KO right to set fire
to it. Cruelty to brutes, and arson are e: lines
recognized in the civil code. 'The soil, of
course, has no sensibilities, but it may be
abused neeer'heless. It is combustible", and if
you have reduced its productive capacity one
half, you have really burnt up your farm, as
if you had touched it with a match. You
have sold off" hay, or consumed it upon your
lurm, without saving the manure of your stock.
The hay, corn and other vegetable produc s
took quantities of carbonaceous matter
from the soil, ami it has been dissipated in the
atmosphere, through the lungs of the animals
that consumed it. The process has been slow,
but it has really been burnt up and scattered
to the four winds through your agency.—
American Agriculturist.
A PCI.PIT ANECDOTE. —Some days since we
chanced to be in company with several emi
nent divines, who were relating numerous
amusing anecdotes of the pulpit Among
others, the following struck our fancy us out
deserving of record :
" I was," sr.'d the reverend gentleman, at
tending divine service in M'orfolk, several vcars
ago, during a season of some excitement
While the officiating clergyman was in the
ra'dst of a most interesting discussion, an old
lady among tiie congregation arose, clapped
her hands, and exclaimed :
"Merciful father, if 1 had one more feather
in mv wing of faiih I wouid fly off to glorv.'' i
The worthy gentleman thus interrupted im
mediately replied :
''Good Lurd, stick it in, and let her go;
she's but a trouble here !
That quieted the old lady.
ONE of the most important, but one of the
most difficult things for a powerful mind is to
be its own master. Mii.erva should alwnts
be at hand, to restrain Achilles from blindly
following his impulses and appetites, even
those which are moral and intellectual, as will
as those which are anhnul and sensual. A
pood may lie quiet in u ; 1 ;• ] u fc e
xvauts mountains to compass and hold It in.
