Time rolled on and, in the natural course of events, the young man learned that he could be "only a friend an:d nothing more," and it so hapiened that the young man took -sick shortly after learning his fate, and could not eat the food of common mortals, so he gave to a diminutive son of Africa a piece of silver with injunctions to procure a young chicken at all hazards, thinking lie could et the game, if cooked away from home and served in his room down town. ? It was in the early spring time and young chickens were scarce, but the diminitive black son-of a gun knew that there were some at the bouse of the young lnaus whilom Dulcinea. He inarched rjp and innocently stated the case to the young lady, offering her the piece of silver for a small chicken. Of course the chicken was not for sale, uor could she accept the piece of silver under the circumstances, no matter from whom it came, but sent the chick with best wished, hoping that he would speedily re cover his wanted health, strength and happiness. j The circumstance has just leakcjd out, and at evening, the where abouts of that young man is known by the imitative chirps of chicks, the cackle of hens or the crowing of cocks. . ; 'I' How Jones was Plundered.

Nothing pat s farmers lietter than a little care rightly liestowed ujn!i their implements..' . Farmers' bovs aro as full of life and ambition as anv bovs. They see visions in the future of prosperity, influence, money, and reputation. They see boys who have been clerks iu the vil lage stores, carpenters, brichre- builders,, compositors, machi nists, employes of financial op erators, merchants, bankers, etc. They at once mark their great superiority in some things ; in a knowledge of the world, in quickness of thought, and, like ly, enough, in wickedness also. 1 our boys want to get away too. or see their way ovt, some how. ii mere is money to send them to school, that satisfies them ; ii the condition of going is that they shall learn a trade, they will learn one ; if they must get a self -supporting place . in store or shop, on a canal boat or any where else, they will find one. Is it because they hate farming and work? No. indeed. Nine- tenths of them love the fann and will eventually return tu it, or will buy another as soon as they have made money enough. l ne best farm laborers are men who have been bom and bred on the . land they till ; the best faruidrs are those ; who have been in business, or who nave been successful in ome trade; or who have been to sea, or have seen the world and know something of trade and com- merce.who have expanded ideas, and who are readers and lovers of books. They are up with the news of the " day, abreast with agricultural progress, have their notions about political economy, tree trade and protection, co ojeration, dairying," creameries, new kinds of stock, etc.; they put up silos, get new tools, and snow an earnestness lor pro gress in some way in every way .and really do progress.- Ihey not only make money by legiianiaie tanning, but are gradually put forward as prom inent men in the community, given township offices, sent to the legislature, jand all that. All because their natural ambi tions were not curbed, because their spirits were not broken by the wretched poverty of ideas which prevails t on too many I arms. . s i Which do you think most of the farm or the boy?. If the boy, then give him a chance give him every opportunity in reason to see and know what is going on in the world about him; give him good books; trust him at the store, and to be "off" evenings, if he will only trust you with the knowledge of al he does. He ', will do this and have no secrets, if his father is worthy of confidence. You must sympathize with him. There is not room on the farm for half the boys. Sonic must go to the town, to sea, to college, Do not grieve over it. It is bet ter for them and for the. - work and really better for the, farm Make your boys wide-awake men, and encourage them in seeking after knowledge' am plans for improvement iu every way. itii books and pajn-rs, and triKid company, and houh knowledge of outside things, boy will choose his Own avoca.- tion, succeed in it, and in afle years come back to bless the oh Homestead, and the old folks, If you think you must keep the boy on the farm for your own sake, give him a personal interest in the farm, a share of the cattle and sheep; pigs and poultry ; get him to keep his earnings or invest them, to hav a saving's bank account, and so anchor him, not by exhibiting your authority or purchase, but by his own love: for you, andby his own interests.
