' * I The .young man is the son of one of the most succesful farmers in the neighborhood. Coming to the "Gen esee Country" when it was to the resident of the Eastern States "West" as Kansas is now, he cleared a farm, raised a large family and gave them an cxcellenteducation. He has plen ty of apples, cherries and peaches, and we arc not sure that he has not •what is quite rare in a farmer's gar den, a good patch of the best varie ties of strawberries and raspberries. Th" house is delightfully situated, with some noble deciduous trees and fine evergreens surrdunding it. The young ladies are fond of flowers, and succeed pretty well with their annu als. There ia a bell on the front door, a piano in the parlor, with half a dozen or so oil paintings on the walls, the work of one of the daughters. Ten different periodicals arc taken and a pleas antcr countrv home in seldom found. • Now why should not such a farm have a well kept lawn, w'uh a few ehoioe shrubs, evergreens, ornamental trees, kc. Has ha not land enough ? Can he not af ford it ? What would it cost? Would not a hundred dollars a year be a liberal estimate, even charging full price for ev ery half hour occupied in keeping it in order. We think fifty dollars a .year would convert f>ome of tho unsightly door yards, co frequently seon in the country, into a delightful lawn. And there is positively no reason why this is not done, except that the farmer lias never been in the habit of attending to such things and has no taste for them. If a man is real ly poor, their is some cyceuse for neglect ing those things which do not afford an immediate profit. But we have in all parts of the country hundreds of thous ands of farmers who can afford to have a nice lawn and garden if they only desired it. Here is a l'armor who has spent 810, 000 in erecting a house. 11 is "door yard " is—well, no better than lira neigh bors. Perhaps he would talk about it if itwas. A big house is allowable in the country, but the agricultural Mrs. Grun dy wffuld be horrified should a farmer pay much attention to ornamental grounds. But wlftit is the good of a big house with its neglected "door yard ?" Does tho good wife feel any happier in it? Are the children more comfortable ? Does it afford any p easure to the passer-by ? Wo Mit not have been better to have spont less on the house and more on the grounds ami garden ? Suppose instead of spending SIO,OOO on the house and nothing on the grounds, he had spent $7,000 on the house and reserved the §3,000 for making and keeping up a nice lawn, planting out a few hedges, making good walks and setting out ornamental trees.— Had he spent SI,OOO on his grounds the interest on the remaining two thousand would have kept them in good order. Would not such a course have been better '/ Admitting that it does not pay, wo would ask how much the extra $2,000 invested in the house pays. It not only brings in nothing, but requires more money to furnish the rooms , &c. And in case you want to sell it, who would not prefer to have the money invest ed in setting out trees, &c., than in the house ? Not many months since a rich gentleman in one of the Eastern Cit ies, wanted to buy a farm for his son. He prefered Western New York. He was willing to pay any sum from $20,000 to $(50,000, if he could get such a farm and buildings as he wanted. But he wanted every thing readv to his hands—a pleasant house, good buildings, and well laid out grounds, roads, &c. We were asked where there was such a farm in this section that could be purchas ed ; and we were obliged to confess that we did not know of any in this neighborhood that would fill the con ditions. We have many farms in a good state of cultivation, many good houses, but where do you find well laid out grounds ? We are confident that there are farms where a thous and dollars spent ten years ago in judicious planting, with a hundred dollars a year in keeping up the grounds, would have added, in this case at least, from five to ten thous and dollars to the value of the farm. But this is not the main reason for attending to these matters We want fumrers to make pleasant homes for their children. This young man who admired a "door yard " kept a little bettor than is generally found on farms, is already anxious to leave his father and goto the city. He thinks faxming nothing but hard work, and sighs for some ploaseuter occupation. We think he had better stay on the farm. A man who gets an honest living in the city has to work just as hard as farmers, but he does not realize this, and it must be confessed that we find, even among those in moderate circumstances, plcasanter homes in the suburbs of our cities, than in the country. This need not be. A farmer can make his home pleasant to himself and at tractive to ■ bis children. Agricult ure needs intelligent young men, and especially intellgent farmers' sons. We must make farming more agreeable. But this is a subject we cannot discuss at this time. What we now wish to urge upon our read ers is the importance of paying more attention to their grounds round the iwise.— Genesee Farmer, €ttofntnmat JJqmvtmettt STUMBLING BLOCKS. Thore are still many people, who are indifferent to the claims of education, and some who even oppose it. Why is this so? Men often neglect their best interests from motives of avarice, appetite, and other selfish and short-sighted considera tions ; but quite a different cause of apathy in reference to this subject will be considered and I pcareely kuow with what words to designate this cause. Dr. Johnson, the great English lexicograph er, so remarkable for tho extent of his literary culture, and for his conversation al powers, sometimes announced his dic tum, in a manner which was characterized more by decision and blunt force, than by elegance and suavity. For instance, it is said that being, "One evening, in campany, he was descanting on the misery of human life, and maintaining that no one, in whatever situation, could be hap py in this world ; when an old maiden lady, remarkable for her cheerfulness and resignation, observed : I must be allowed sir, to differ front you, for, thunk Heaven, lam extremely happy. Madam 'tis im possible' cried Johnson sternly, 'for you are old, u<jly, sirlcly, and poor." This is what tome people call "speaking their miud right out," Nod<jnbt Johnson, when in such a mood, would have cxpres-' sed his idea of the cause of the indiffer ence to education which I have in mind, by the words inexcusable ignorance. But l>r. Johnson was a great loader of public opinion and could speak out his thoughts and be listened to with deference. .It becomes an obscure and insignificant scribbler to offer his crude opinion less forcibly; so let the matter bo bolstered up in this shape : a prominent cause of a want of interest in education are vague and confuted ideas on the subject. Some people say : ''Education is a good thing but thev do not try to promote the wel fare of that gpoi\ thing hy lending their assistance in the great work of elevating and improving our common schools, and thus their faith in the great thing is shown to be a dead faith. Others believe that schools "will do" as places where their children can learn "to read, write, and ciphes," and have their brains filled with a lot of modern tom foolery, all of which combined " make awful high taxes."— These two classes of people are undoubt edly afflicted with vague and confused ideas on the subject of education, altho' there are, no doubt, many thrifty and really excellent people among them. Let us look at two stumbling blocks in their way. Ist." Tliey mistake knowledge—the bald facts of arithmetic, grammar and other sciences, for education. According to this idea, the mind represents a store box ; into it knowledge can be stuffed and jammed until it is full. The fortunate recipient then supposed to be absolutely " ausgelrent ;'j.uo use togo to school an\ longer, such a course would only crack the already filled brains. They forget— no not forget, for thoy have never known —that education means not only the stor ihg of the mind with knowledge, thus dispelling ignorance, but also the devel oping of the capability of seeing and ap preciating the wisdom, power and good . ness of God, as displayed above atound and within us, thus opening up new fields of thought; also training in correct hab its, imbuing with lofty principles, culti vating the manners, refining the taste imparting skill and efficiency j in shoit educut'on is the haud-muid of Christiani ty in raising up man from ignorance, weakness, aud wickedness, to live a lite worthy of a being created iu the image of God, with powers and capabilities but little inferior to those of angels. 2nd. They mistake routine for educa tion. A young man spends a stated time ingoing over a fixed course at a high school, an academy, or a college; some mysterious, magical, educating influence is supposed to be in the name, the place, the apparatus and the professor ; and so at the end of the prescribed time, ihe young man is expected to bo turned out of the mill, his education finished, and, like a certaiu graduated boarding school miss, he may at once set about burning his books. Chance throws a lazy and worthless scamp of a student in their way so they very sagely argue themselves in to the belief that all students are lazy and worthless. Of course, if such folks had uever seen any sheep and were to see a black one they would conclude that beoause one sheep is black therefore all sheep are black. And you couldn't per suade them to be otherwise, no not them, for didn't they see the sheep, and wasn't it black, and if doe sheep is black, doen't it necessarily iollow that every sheep is black ? They do not know, because they have never experienced how lung, and rugged, and up-hill is the way that leads to education, how slo\fly and carefully it mast be traveled, how many hoyrs, .and days, and months, and years of persistent, toilsome, self-denying, heroic efforts are necessary, but thrft all ulcnig the way are ahoice flowers to be culled, jewels iu sparkling/ills and fountains ui inspiring nectar which inspire courage, hope and Uappifiess. • J. JU Lexcittoir* XitafUe. lUUgtottrgqwrtmettt. ANSWER TO PRAYER. ~ We sometimes fail to recognize answers to prayer, do not receive the blessing in the precise form we have marked out. A child asks his father if he may have in bis own bed a flower which ne hap admired in ihe garden of his neighbor. The father complies with the request, lie procures The seed, aud with his own hand sows it in one corner of his sou's bed. Months after the little boy is de lighted to find there the flower he had so much desired. Does not our heavenly Father bften dealt iii this manner with his children ? They ask him for some spiritual blessing, some plant of righteousness, and he sows in ileir hearts the seed of that blessing. Would the ohilt] conclude that the father had denied his request, because he did not immediately find in his bed the full blown flower ? Certainly not. Yet do we uot often reason thus ? Because we do not at once find ourselves in possession of the matured blessing, we are ready to cry out that God has shut out our prayer, aud his mercy from us We pray tor humility, and God Sows the seed jn our hearts. Ho not only plants iilioin there, T>ul he takes care that they shall grow and prosper. Perhaps he sends a scorching sun to wither and dry up the weeds of pride and vain self-es teem which are gnawing all around the precious seed. We do not understand his dealings, and cry out " Has God for gotten to be gracious ? Has He in anger shut up his tender mercies ? Again, we pray for a spiritual mind, and while God in his infinite mercy grants the prayer, and sows the good seed in our hearts, he also the spade of his af flicting dispensations to remove the weeds of worthlessness, covetousness aud ambi tion wilioh would hinder its growth. As these weeds cannot be uprooted without pain, the bleeding heart will cry out in anguish. It cannot recognize in this painful process au answer to its prayers. Even when the little plant begins to rear its tiny leaves above the broken soil, it may bo mistaken tor a useless weed while the sonl doubts if anything good can grow out of such anguish, turmoil and confusion ; but afterward the broken soil will yield the peaceable fruit of righte ousness. Often does God in answer to prayer drop iuto our hearts precious seeds. We may overlook them but he will not. They are the sure pledge of the perfect fruit, lie will water them with the dew and rain of his grace. He will dig about them, and remove thewcedsthat obstruct their growth. Bear Christian reader, do not overlook or ueglect these precious seeds. Be a co worker with God in the work of nourish ing and cheering ihem. Look for such an -wers to prayer ; fo God often deals with u> bus, not only in the kingdom of nature, but also in the kingdom of grace. —S. H. Time*.
