The False rrirte of The World
Dixgnst Uim, You are on The
Hlue litok.
Not long
young- man
.teens going
ago I saw a nice
who is yet in his
round town hunt-
iug for a place in a store. lie
ooked anxious and timid and
iidn't sqein to have much faith
in finding a place. The boy
belonged to a broken down
Aristocratic fainily and sudden
ly realized that he had to
Hrork for a living. He had
?never plowed or hoed or dug; or
jrtopped wood, or cnrried a
fho-e, or done anything but
no to school and visit-round
and Lave a1 good time, but
how he had worn out his wel
come and realized that the
realities of life were upon him.
He must! go', to work. His
habds were soft and feminine.
He had very good clothes, was
haudsome and would have
made an attractive clerk in a
dry goods store. But there
was no place and he had no ex
perience. A few days after
wards, as I was meandering
around, I saw him making up
mortar for a brick mason. He
was pulling away as hard as he
could, but I noticed that he
had gloves on. I didn't like
'that until I learned that his
hands were blistered so bad
mat ne aa,a 10 wear gloves or
quit. He was bright and'cheer-
ful and said "he was getting
seventy-five cents a day and
was promised a dollar as soon
as he could do as much work as
"a nigger." lie said he enjoyed
his meals and slept splendid,
and had four dollars, in his
pocket that he had earned, the
first money he had ever earn
ed, and he felt richer and more
independent than . he had
ever felt before.
There is grit in that boy;
He has met the enemy and the
enemy is his. " He has whipped
poverty and dependence at the
ecart, and if will keep on
that liae his fortune is made

and will work np. He won't
spend .those dollars-they cost
too much to throw away-on
foolishness. They cost sweat
and tired muscles and aching
bones and blistered hands and
humility, but he is getting over
that now. It nearly killed
him for the society girls to
ride by and see him at work.
They know him, and one said :
"I thought he would have to
come down." Another said.
Poor fellow! I am just as
sorry for him as I can be. He
is so nice and dances so charm
ingly." j.
That is what is the matter
with a good many of the young
men. Thev are af r.iid of what
(the girls will eay. Thy had
'rather loai around among their
kin or pretend to be reading
law than go to work work is
hot exactly respectable. This
false pride is a comtemptble
weakness and disgusts me so I
feel like taking off my coat and
driving out to tote mortar or
dig in the ditches for the gas
pipe just as an example. I
counted twenty-six negroes all
in a row digging those ditches
and not a white man among
them. A wording boy Won't
have to do that kind of work
lorg. He is watched and talk
ed about and very soon some
body wants him and he gets a
better place. He crawls up. It
is an old saying that if a
young man saves his first
thousand: dollars he will get
rich and that is so in nine
cases' out often yes if he will
save his first hundred dollars,
lie will succeed, and any young
man can save that much in one
year if he will let whiskey
and tobacco and the society
girls alone;the society will keep
a poor young man poor. It
keeps married folks poor. I am
thinking now of a married "nan
who is bowed down with debt,
while his family are trying to
Keep on the ragged edge of

there is no excuse for a young

does not it is his own fault. If
he can't get jich fast he can

Wen craps air short an' cotton

There's sure to be a pow'fal snow,
And then hard times come in,
The me;ifc gives oat, the trains all
stop
To roll the'r 'taters in.
'spesly
come Qis morninv ana then I
heard a female voice Teply,
"Oh, dear me, there it is. again.
I thought las$ night she was
fixing to get sick. She is such
an aggravation. I wish she
would quit and stay quit. Here
It is seven o'clock, and not even
a fire made;" And so the
breikfast was j like the trains,
an hour late, ajnd the children
were late to j school, and got
marked, and feverything was
out of jointi aud hasn't got

dollars a month and perquisites

otium cum dig Mrs. Arp shan't
do it either! She wants her
otium, and is entitled to it.
We have another darky close
by, and so the case ia not des
perate but it is provoking.
There is a good deal of provok
ing in this vale of tears. Last
night I started to town. The
silver moon was shining nearly
vertical, and as I stepped off
of the piazza to the pavement,
I thought I Saw our black dog
lying by the step, ; and so I
stepped high to step over him,
and Mrs. Arri says she, "what
are y.ou stepping so hiah, you
remind me of a blind horse
With the stringhault." "I didn't
want to step on the dog," said
I. indignantly.- fehe just laugh
ed and said, j children did you
see your pa trying to step over
his shadow there is no dog
here," and they all laughed but
me. Such things disturb my
serenity. ,
Go to work young man and
lay up some money for your
old age and for the time when
the grasshopper will become a
bnrden and the cook will quit
before breakfast, and you will
think your shadow is a dog.
"What about the girls," says
a friend. ' Let the girls quit

I know young ladies in this

"There," said a neighbor,
pointing to a village carpenter.
"There ia a man who has done
more good, I really believe, in
this community than any other
person who ' ever lived in it.
He cannot talk very much in
P'ibliq, and he does not try.
He is not worth 32,000, and it
is very little he can put down
on the subscription paper. But
a new family never moves nto
the village that he does not
find it out and give them a
neighborly welcome and offer
them some service. He is on
the lookout to give strangers a
seat in his pew at church. 'He
is always ready to watch with
a sick neighbor and look after
his affairs for him. I believe
he and his wife keep house
plantu in winter mainly that
they may be able to send little
bouquets to friends an'd inval
ids. He finds time for a pleas
ant word to every child he
meets, and you'll always see
them climbing into his one
horse wagon when he has no
other load. He has a genius
for helping folks, and it does
me good to meet him in the
street."

Gen. Sherman, says the country

soldiers on the same footing as :
the Union veterans and pro

be a more stinging rebuke to

Hens Upon the Farm.
In a small way, there is noth
ing more profitable upon the
farm than hens, for the reason
that a comparatively email
amount of capital is necessary
in doing quite an extensive
business. It may be said: - that
their profit comes through
three distinct channels : from
the eggs, the manure and the
dressed poultry or broilers, of
which the manure is the most
insigniGcant, although not to
be despised. Hen manure is
one of the most valuable, in its
condensed condition, of any
upon the farm , but a great
amount cannot be expected
from a single animal, although
from a large flock, by a proper
use of deodorizers and absorb
ents, some barrels may be accu
mulated. It is excellent for
all kinds of crops, but like all
concentrated fertilizers, must
not be applied directly to seeds,
lest it be too heating, and de

A man on his own farm, well
cultivated and kept, well stock
ed, with good modern dwellings
and barns and outbuildings,
master of both time and acres,
tiea to no hours by the calls of
bells or whistles, tree to come
and jzo according to the ner.esJ
sities of none but himself,
mostly iu his own fields, per
forming his healthful labors
within sight of the smoke of
his own chimney, is surely as
rich in the genuine sense of
that word as any man can be.
He has nothing to fear and
nobody to envy. Of one thing
he is sure all his days, and that
is a sufficient living; and that
is what other men are never
sure of without a single, pang
of doubt or apprehension.
There is his land ; there is his
home : there is all the animate
and inanimate machinery of his
establishment; and for the rest
he looks in profound trust to
the bounty of heaven.
Instead of this unworthy and
demoralizing anxiety to get
rich, if the average farmer, once
being solidly established, would
resolve to enlarge and exalf his
life af it is, to make more out
of that, to enjoy as much as
possible of what there is to be
enjoyed, to adorn and beautify
his home that only paradise
on earth within and without,
he would find all his daily tasks
easier, even to the extent of
being delightful ; he would feel
rich where now, with more
money, he feels all the time
poor, and rid himself of a false
tyrant in the form of increasing
parsimony that holds his nose
to the grindstone till he is flung
into his grave. If farmers only
knew it they would be the rich
