I.I VKRt.KXT FATIIN. The sun lacked a quarter of noon, and was beginning to pour down, scorching hot, upon the piece of corn- land iu the iiottom. 1 he laborers stopiHil at the end of the bout to wipe the perspiration from their heated brows. It seemed a long way across i he lot, an.l the dry sanil, unshadowed as vet mv tne voungeorn, looked lar less inviting than the closely cropped turf under the shady elms iu the pas-tun- lot near by. The little spring, which bubbled from beneath the gnarled roots and lost itself a few paces further on in a tangled growth of cattails and wild grasses, seemed tolieckouthe tired men to forget their toil and rest ln-sitlc it. Old 1 1 irani rubbed his shining bald pate with the remains of a red silk handkerchief and, settling Lis palm- leaf upon his head aimed a savage ,yv t a thrifty young burdock stand- lllg had tor. jo close to a stock of corn that it escaped the tooth of the cultiva- "Now, lads," said he to the three or four younger men who stood each at the end of a new row ; "let's get back lu re agin afore the old horn blows, an' so hev time ter rens out our mouths afore dinner." "I declare. Hi," said John Marvin, "I lielieve I'll take a rinse now, for I i am powerful dry.- Joe, just keep my I row along won't you," asked he care lessly of the young man next him, who had already loosened the earth around two or three hills of his own allotment The other nodded and proceeded to bring the idler's task along side his ' own by a few swift strokes of his hoe. Marvin leisurely climlied the fence and strolled down the declivity, chop ping off the heads of such mullein stalks as were within reach, and pick : ing up a stone to fling at a goldcn- w inged woodjH'cker that was foraging ,n the half-tlecaved trunk of a blasted tree growing near his path. i He w as just out of ear-shot when Hiram remarked "John's a pood natured chap, but he mighty lazv. IIowmany row have we fetched U for him since We ; iM guii on this twenty acres?" "This makes my third one to-day," j said Joe laughing', "but I guess I am I the only one that he has asked this morning. John does not like to work very well, that is a fact. "If I had to pay the hands on this farm, I should almost lie inclined to dock him when Saturday night comes 'round," put in another of the men, as he unearthed a Canada thistle. "Pshaw, Tom,'' answered Joe, with smile, "John is a philosopher and looks upon work as one of the neces sary evils existing in this ld'.vcr world, lie calculates upon dodging it, so far as possible." "If that's what you call a philoso pher, Joe," said old Hiram, "them an- imals is not of much account in a cornfield. You've lieen to school a '''ter chance than work- iiiin n, us inn ni am, 11 nil miruiucv were loys ; nd so has John, though ! ruess he was never over fond of a iMM.k." Half-way across the field the lag gard overtook his fellows. "I say, Ikivr, if it as hot as this to morrow, I lielieve that I've pot to go to town to sec alxtut some Summer clothes." Tom winked at Joe, who looked grave but said nothing. That night, after the milking was done, John, with a cigar in his mouth strolled out into the orchard, where Joe was seated under a tree, laying the fading twilight undor contribution for rays enough to enable him to ex tract the pith from a coarsely-printed article iu an agricultural journal, transferrins now and then a thought to a note-book, which lay ujKtn his knee. "I say, Joe," Haid the farmer as he came up, "let's go into the village to morrow. I want to Bee about some clothes, and can't stop to wait for a rainy day, aud you can make some errand in as well as not, fo let's go and have a good time. Let's lay off half a day any way. Joe closed his note-Hook, ami uciu eratelv folded his liaiMT.reiilving as he did so", "Can't afford to lose the time, mv boy, don't need anj- clothes, and, 1 .!!. il.A ...J tl.A r.irm w ulfiklilr IH'MUr, I I1C Ul Ull IUU 1UIIII tt V t 1vj lii'tiiml the imiut t tt V VI (III 1 V UU f L' i I ...H .: i, ;r i nere i siioum m i - carrying it on myself." "If you were carrying it on vour- self!" said the other, with a cjrl of his lip, very nearly approaching a sneer ; "what dot that have to do . .. with lavinir oil' half a day? 1011 don't suppose a fellow is to take as much pains for old Foster as he would on a farm of his own, do you ?" "Why not, John, doesu't he take a great interest in the men he hires ? Are we not welcome to read his books aud pajHTS when work is done, and doctn't he take as much pains to look after our welfare as though we were friends instead of merely hired labor- ers "I should like to know what you mean by merely hired laliorers ?

John came around the i house and asked leave to go to the vil-1 lage for the afternoon. j 'Looking over the top of his sik-c-I tacles, the old man said "Well, John, we are pretty well driven, you know ; last week's rain has given the weeds such a start that we shall have brisk work to prevent their getting ahead of us ; though of course you understand that, and won't ask to get off unless it were necessary. Y'ou can go." As John passed through the gate Mr. Foster turned to his daughter, who sat near by busy with the farm accounts, and said : "Mary, just see how many days and half-days that young man has laid off since the Spring work com menced." Kunning her nimble fingers over the pages; she said : "Why father, you don't intend to charge them to him, do you ?" "Certainly not, child, I only want to know if old Hiram Foster isn't los ing too much money by hiring a hand who Las so much business off the farm in the busy season." "He has lieen away three w holi days and five half dayu, since work in thc sugar-bush stopied. Shall I go back any further than that ?" "Xo ; that will do. I guess that I ahall have to recommend John to turn his attention to soincthfng not quite so confining as farm latair, after this month is up." "That means, sir, that you will dis charge him, I suppose." "Humph 1 you have guessed it very nearly," he replied. "I cannot en courage loose business habits in a man whose only capital lies in his muscles, and I never refuse a man leave to go when he asks it. Each must judge for himself as to the nunilier of holi days which he requires, for I wish to satisfy those whom l employ.'' In a few minutes Mary had closed her hook and was glidingthrough the half-open door, when her father said: "Child, there was a young man from the village, out here yesterday while you were down at the lower farm, and he wanted to know if I should object to receiving him as a son-in-law." The girl opened her eyes very wide. "So vou are getting tired of me, father V Why put that iutoyoiir silly pate ?" Why tir, you know have brought us up to consider your own oc cupation the most heat hful and among the most worthy of earthly pursuits.

"15. Gratz Brown!" shcreplied.with a proud toss of the head. There is something I admire in these Kentucky women they never go back on a native Kentuckian. "I am for Adams," cried an angu lar old maid in a shrill voice. "Adams is my man." The ladies ought cer taiuly to favor the Adams movement, since Mother Eve was the original Adam's woman. HE .WOULDN'T SUPPORT RELATION'S. "I support Grant," put in a brawny lloosier farmer, "anil the country will supKjrt him, trfo." "Well," returned a sinister chap, "the country may support Grant, but you can't expect the country to sup port all of Grant's relations into the bargain, can you? This relation bu siness is played out." I afterwards ascertained that the sinister chap had recently run away from a wife and six children in tin1 East.

That this is the way In which farmers ! ought to live we have 110 question, and we wish to say a few words about it. There is some reason for the gen eral disposition of American men and women to shun agricultural pursuits which the observers and philosophers have Wen slow to find. We see young men pushing every where into trade, into mechaiiicfil pur.uits, into the learned professions, into insignificant clerkships, into salaried positions of every sort that will take them into towns and support and hold them there. We find it impossible to drive poor people from the cities with the threat of starvation, or to coax them with the promise of better juiy and cheaper fart;, Th.re they stay, and starve, and sicken, and sink. Young wutneii resort to tho shops and facto- rtcs rather than take service m far- rather than take when they marry, they seek an alli ance, when practicable, with mechan ics aud tradesmen who live in vil lages and large towns. The daugh ters of the fanner fly the farm at the first opportunity. The towns grow larger all the time, and, iu New Eng land at least, the farms are becoming wider and longer, and the farming population arc diminishing in num- ,H'r5. anu. ,n me localities, degraded in quality and character, It all comes to this, that isolated life has very little significance to a social Wing. The soeial life of the village and the city has intense fas cinatiou to the lonely dwellers on the farm, or to a great multitude of them'. Especially is this the case with the youug. Tho youth of both WXe who have seen nothing of the world have ari overwhelming desiro to meet life and to bo among the multitude. They feel their life to bo narrow iu its op portunities and its rewards, and the pulsations of the great soeial heart that comes to them iu rushing trains and passiug steamers and daily news papers, damp with the dews of a hundred brows, thrill them with long ings for the places where tho rythmic throb is felt and heard. They are not to W blamed for this. It is the most natural thing iu the world. If all of lifo were labor if the great object of life were the scraping together of a few dollars, more or lessj why, iso hit ion without diversion wouJd he economy and prufiU hut so long as the object of iifo is life, aud the Wst and purest aud happiest that can come of it, all needless isolation is a crime against the soul, in that it is a surrender and sacrifice of noble opportunities. v - i iN . ')'2. We are, therefore, not sorry to see farms growing larger, provided thoso who work them will get nearer t - gether; and that is what they ought to do. Any farmer who plants him- j terward a profeur in the Ohio es self and his family alone far from j lyan University.

W-en taught to respect it This is why they Wconie wives with no ideas as to their duties to themselves or to their husbands, and this it is that causes us to say that farmers must e.l-uc-ftto their wives after they marry them. A farmer's wife, if she does not sympathize fully w ith her hus band's calling, must by force of will, interest herself, for in no other way can she do her whole duty. She must bring up her children in such a man ner as to impress the truth firmly on their minds, and that truth is, that, after all, the fanner is the only true nobleman, for he "eats not the bread of idleiu-sV and his family "niav en joy the fat of the land."

The Si;tfm-t' I Faritur savs: The arguments may all be in favor of great size, but the facts are all the other way. Large horses are more liable to stumble ami be lame than those of the middle size. Thev are clumsy, and cannot fill themselves as quick. There is nothing more surprising to Western men than M visit Montreal, and p. see the small, but stout. Canadian horses hauling large, two-seated car riages, full of people, with apparent ease. A horse weighing tltui. takes a chaise or Concord wagon, with two men in it, and makes fifty or sixty miles a day, over 'hills that might have terrified Hannibal. Kut their weight is where it ought to Ik. It is compact, and not lying along looe. It is muscle, ami not pulp, that we want in a horse.
