MAKING A HOME OF THE FARM.
Tho farm as a homo will hnvo its

WlllCll POP8PSS OUlCr IllHi; iiiuiic "
Tho eyo or tho owner will be seeking' vis
tus through groves nntl forests, through
which Fim nnd shade may piny. If ho
clears uwny tho nnclent trees, ho will
siniio n copse horo nnd n thicket there,
for his very cattle will thntik him for
their shelter, nnd iiopn8er-hy will fii I to
ndmlre the tnsto ntul forethought which,
with the meadow or plowed Hold, rotnins
tho glorle of tnnple or onk.
Ktich things nro coming even among tm

or live miles, or twice ns much, Is not nl
wnys nn evil. Tho purer nlr, the restful
quiet, the retirement for study, counter
balance somo of the conveniences of tho
village. Tho homestead with ncrcs for ft

Americans have had too much land, thoy
have not learned yet, as the Etigllsh in
restricted Islands havodone,to count their
trees and Inventory their water courses,
and make much of every hill and valloVt
every phnso and variety of scenery. In
stead of degrading tho farm moro Into a
treadmill of compulsory labor, wo need
moro and more to decorate It with tho ut
tnmtlniiH of home, to connect it with
pleasures nnd culturo, to bring out tho
hosd features of Its landscape, the spcolnl
beauties of gorge or hill or grovu or mead
ow with which nature has adorned It.
The most careless observers learn how
venerable, graceful or sturdy tree desig
nate tin entire district ; how a well-cultivated
garden wins admiration ; how the
very soli and nlr may tell that a farm
has a man of taste and brains for lis mas

and a beneficial Influence from our life?"

Is not one of us who can sincerely tleclaro
that ho Is now living iu a satisfactory
muiitier, though most of us Intend to do
so presently. Tho soholar Is waiting un

till ho Is of age; the artist until ho be

claim n larger salary ; tho physician till
he can obtain n practice. Some aro look
ing forward to a change of place or ooeti

they will begin lo llvo In earnest, hut

VALUE OF TRUTH.
l Here is something so Irresistible in
IrN'th that It at onco convinces the under
htuntiiuir, mill forces a pussugo to tho
heart. ,ln vain does tho hypocrite ut
tempt to l.inltjite this nnilnlile virtue, or
endeavor to Impose on tho credulous by
the fabrications of deceit ; for ho Is gen
erally iu the lulrleute trammel of inven
tion, and it is not easy to say whether he
is most to lie condemned or dctiplsed.
Moreover, truth lnnlWaysconslsteiit with
itself, and needs nothing t help it out.
It is always near at hand, and It is ready
to speak out before we aro aware; where
m, a lie Is troublesome, mid sets a man's
Invention upon (he rack, and one triok
needs u great many moro to make it good.
Wl IAT MAKES MM UHEAT.
A great man is tillable In his conversa
tion, geuerous In his lumper, and immov
able In what ho has maturely resolved
upon. And as prosperity does not make
him haughty and imperious, so neither
does Htlversity alnk him into meanness
and dejection ; for if ever he shows moro
spirit thau ordinary, it is when ho is ill
used, and tho world Is frowning upon
him. In short, he Is equally removed
from the extremes of severity aud pride,
and scorns either to trample ou a worm
or erlujje to an emperor-
