Meat Market.‘ not me the Two young men {vent to Cincinnati a few years ago, to seek for a situation.â€" They were poor and dependent but had 800d principles and good manners, and with that capital made their start in life. HOpkins had hardly become used to his new duties, when his integrity ins put. to the test in e. {my he least expected. His employer one morning tried to sell a dress to a. customer by declaring that he offered it to her heloiv '1 “Certainlyj’ 5333 {he shopkeeper with ‘;a wink which meant, ‘No indeed, 9f 1 course I don’ t.’ '1, ‘Then,’ replied. the clerk, ‘I must say that the dress did not. cost. what you say lit. did.’ The 311eg shopkeeper was not lougl1 in taking his new clerk to task, and scold- l ' ed him soundly for his stupidity. ‘Truth will do well enough for a country store, but. we need shrewduess to get. along in the city. Will you do b'uSi'ness my way or your own ‘3’ said the man in a. beat, E ‘I will ive ou twent -four hours to? decide.’g Y Y i The struggle was short. No com- promise with commence, that. was the de- ‘Cision of the friendless and moneyless boyâ€"no compromise with conscience. The young man then went to his friend, asking him what he should do. ‘Come and share my room and my little salary until you can find another place,’ said hisfrieud; ‘and do not be discouraged, you will find one full soou.’ Nor was it. long. He found employers who appreciated and honored his integ- rity; and he found, too, as years went on, that business built on the firm tim- bers of truth ant] uprightness can and must prosper. It is w‘cn the weather does not ae- commodate itself to man’s {whims or wishes. The thousand difl'erent interests! would each clamor to be suited with the weather, and of gruinblers there; would be no end. Who ever saw a. leisure day in June ? Surely no good farmer. If all is planted and all is hoed, and no weeds need killing, and the manure is hauled, and the summer-fallow is plow- 1 ed afresh, and the barns are ready for the hay crop, there is enough, to do in istirring and mellowing the soil between the rows of everything. Tm: GRASS CROP.~â€"-Begin to cntl early. The use of mowing machines' and good horse-rakes make haying light . work. If the hay be light, say a ton: and a half to the acre, and if you please, out as late as you can see; let it lie .until near noon, then rake it into light iwindrows. Shake them up with a fork, ! pitching them a little together after an i hour, and again after another; at 3 to 4 o’clock roll up and get in. If the bay is heavy, a. tedder or frequent stir- ring is necessary. _ Homxo axn WE'E'DING may afford constant employment to men and teams during most of the month, when the * ground is dry. Stirring Wet Soil is not. only a loss of time, but a detriment.â€" Kill weeds in the seed-leaf state if pos- sible, and leave the ground mellow, not only for the sake of the crops, hat to let other weeds start, and thus clear the land of them. Thorough work in June will tell ali the rest of the season, and for years to come. AxnlALs.-Gii:e working oxen grain daily, and long rest at noon, and they will hear the hot weather almost as well as horses. See that stock at pasture have abundant feed, a constant supply} of water, and access to salt. Animals‘ turned upon clover often become ‘horen,’ bloat and die ; accustom them to it gradually, with great caution.â€" Yarding cows at night for the sake of their manure pays where manure has n value. Provide shelter for sheep after n. shearing. After a few weeks the ticks will all be found on lambs, Which should be dipped in tohaCco water, or some other sheep-dipping composition. Cows must be well fed to be profitable as ‘milkers, and if the pastures are Over-1 Istocked now, they will fail early, and green fodder crops must be relied upon to carry the stock through the summer. Sow corn to save the pastures. Calves should be early taught to eat grass; June Work on the Farm. should be early taught to eat grass; even those that stuck may easily be taught. to drink,and so feed wheat,flour, oat meal or corn meal,iu small quantities which will help fatten them.

DURHAM, COUNTY I rember once seeing posted in a laW°~ yer’s omce a. card with substantially the following inscription :â€"-“Call ‘FPOF‘. a business man only during business hours, then only .upon business, and after hav- " iDg done your business, go about your business.” . p . The centiuct and custom of many of our “business men” frequently call to mind this reasonable injunction. “Busi- iness men” don’t wish. to be disturbed l during business hours ni‘th anything but business. But pray who are business men ? “That’s the question.” Ju‘dg- ling from my limited observation, farm- lers are not re‘gard’eci as such by a large lmass of people. For instance, the business man, mean the merchant or lawyer, may start , out during business hours for the purâ€" I pose of seeing a farmer friend ; he may finci that farmer friend busily engaged in some important work, in Which he performs a conspicuous part, and Which, iwithout his help and supervision, must. lfor the time he snspenderi. He drives cvâ€" up alongr the roadside, {his “business man,” with gloved hands, stylish buggy and fancy horse, and at. the top of his voice coils for his friend to come to the roadside. on his office wall, it mightpossibly oc- cur to him that it is no farther from the road to his friend than from his friend to the road, and suggest the idea. that the time of one man, though he be .a' “ business” or “ professional ” mun, as commonly understood, is hardly eQuivaâ€" lent to the time of half a dozen, though perhaps engaged in pitching hay or hoeing corn. Very true and suggestive are the fol- lowing statements by Mr, Spurgeon ; and very worthy of an earnest echo is the added pm) or : 0 how irresolute a man often is con coming a sin which he knows to be a sin, but which enchants 'him with its sweetness. Ahl how often a man will say, ‘I must give it up, but I cannot!" Sin dies hard; it makes a hundred ex- cases for itself, and pleads ‘Is it not a little one? Is it not a sweet 0111 ?’ O Lord, then give me strength and reso- lution, and when I know that a thing 18 wrong, help me to have done with it; and when I perceive an action to be right, help me to make haste and delay' not to keep thy commandments. 0 Lord, may lnever try to patch up a .peace between my conscience and my. \self by trimming and compromising.

One day the astronomer Mitchell 1 was engaged in making some observa- tions on the sun, and as it descended to- there came into the range of the great telescope the top of a hill about seven miies away. On the top of that hill was a large number of apple trees, and in one of them there was two boys stealing apples. One was getting the lapple‘s‘, and the other was watching to make certain that nobody saw them, feeling that they were undiscovered.â€" But there sat Professor Mitchell, seven miles away, with the great eye of his telescope directed fully upon them, see- ing every movement they made as plain. ly as ifhe had been under the tree with them. So it is often With men. Be- cause they do not see the eye which 9 watches with a sleepless vigilance, they think they are not seen. But the great open eye of God is upon them, and not an action can be conoealed. There is not a deed, there is not a word, there is i! not a thought which is not known to _ God.

When 'hey arose from their knees, he said, ‘Now I will thank you, my broth- er, to tell me what it is you have against me.’ d ‘Ob,’ was the reply, ‘I really don’t know what it is ; it. is all gone; and I believe I was in the wrong.’ The most beautiful may he most ad-] admired and'carcssed, but they are not5 always the most esteemed and loved.-â€"â€"- And thus, in art and in life, we learn that great lesson of practical wisdom, while we look upward to‘ the star, not itut-annals on the flowers that lie at our The All-Seeing Eye; BY J0 80 3:. Settling Differences. MAINTIEN L If? DROIT. OF GREY, ONTARIO, JUNE IBM, 1870. The prompt and energetic manner in which the oflicers and men of our bravei l1 Volunteers responded to the call to duty t cannot be too much applauded and ad- 1 mired. At a busy time of the year, the 1 summons to military active duty was at i on e obeyed. The eagerness as well as . readiness with which these our fellow countrymen turned out against the in- ' vade'rs, speaks loudly in favor of their ' ileyalty and devotion to the interests of. Canada. It cannot be said that the Fenians .were driven away by English troops, for there were scarcely any in the country. Many of those dupes,per- haps, thought that in the absence of Imperial bayonets lots of Canadians would welcome the invaders with Open 1 arms. Never was there a greater mis take. Canadians are a unit against out- side interference. If there are an» ' nexationists among us, they are Yan- ' liess, or disaffected country people.â€" Canadians, no matter of what creed, .grade, politics, or origin, are satisfied with our present position as a Confeder- b ae‘y, and Would_stand shoulder to 5 l shoulder in its defence. Gener alLindsay has expressed him- self 1n the most enthusiastic. terms con cerning our brave Volunteers, and they deserve the gratitude and praise of Britons throughout the world. Officers and men seemed to vie with each other in their efforts to repel the foe; and their fierce determination and steady, Esoldierly bearing spread consternation throughout the whole Fenian organiza- tion . The manner in which the beavers make tleir dam, and construct their ledge, has long been reekoned-among the wonders of the animal creation; and While some observers claim for the ' little creature more sagacity than it really posesses, its instinct is still suffi- ciently wonderful. ,It is certainly true that it knows how to keep the Water of a stream to a certain level, by means of an obstruction, and that it cuts down _ trees for the purpose of backing up the water by a dam. It is not true, how. ever, that it can always fell a tree in E the direction required for this purpose. The timber about a beaver dam is felled in all directions ; but as trees that grow near the ivater generally lean towards it, the tree when cut takes the proper direction by gravitation alone. The beaver then proceeds to cut up the fallen tiriber into lengths of about three feet, and convey them to the spot fibers the dam '3 to be situated, securing them ' in their places by means of mud and} ' stones. The work is commenced when the water is low, and carried en as it its strength is suited exactly to the nature of tie stream in which it is built. If the water is sluggish, the dam is straight: if rapid andf turbulent, the . barrier is constructed of a convex form, the better to resist the action of the water. When the beavers have once commenced a. dam, its extent andqtbick- ncss are continually augmented, not only by their labours, but by accidental gaccumulaticnS, thus accommodating itself to tie size of the growing com- munity. At length, after the lapse of many years, the {rater being-spread over a considerable tract, and filled up by yearly accumulations of drift-wood and earth, seeds take root in the nevi}- made ground, and the old bearer dame become green meadows, or thickets of cotton-wood and willow. The Irish Peasant on Distances. comp'ained of by travellers and strang- in ers, that they never could get a true 3.! answer from any Irish peasant as to bl distances, when on a journey. For 8‘ many years I myself thought it most unacbountable. If you meet a peasant 0 ion your journey, and ask him how far, i: for instance, to Ballinrobe, he will f1 probably say it is “three short miles.” b You travel on and are informed ‘by the 3 next peasant you meet “that it is five long miles.” On you go, and the next will tell “your honor” it is “ four miles, I or about that same.” The fourth will ¢ swear “if your honour stops at three 4 miles you’ll never ‘get there." But, on . pointing to a town just before you, and . '_ inquiring what place that is, he replies, . “Oh,plaze your honour, that’s Ballin- ‘ rode, sure enough. “ Why, you said it _ was more than three miles off.” . “ Oh, I [1. yes ; to be sure and sartain, that’s from my own cab‘, plaz‘e your honourrâ€"L We’re no scholars in this Country.â€" ‘ Arrah! how can we tell any distance, Ziplaze your honour, but from oiiro'wn Lilittle cabins?

An insame man at Chicago created some excitement by going on gunning exhibitions on the principal streets.â€" The other day he indulged in the harm- less pastime of shooting street-car hor sea in the eyes, and was at last arrested- A lady in Chichester endeavored to choke her husband while he was asleep the other night, by deliberately twist ing a piece of cotton into a rope, tying one end to the bed-post, taking a halt hitch aronnd his neck, and pulling her hardee‘. The defence in this instance is not insanity, but soninambulisrn. A new society has been estublishcdlg in Paris, the members of which num- ber more than one hundred, in order to contribute as much as possible to the healing art, have inscribed in thei1 wills an article declaring that they do not desire to be buried after death; on the contrary, they wish their bodies to be given to surgeons for dissection. Mastery over the minds of others is never obtained by those who do not know their own mind. But when a fixed end is kept in view, and steadily and firmly sought, this always gives , confidence to weaker natures, and sup- ‘plies 'dire‘ict on to subordinate help.

'Sold by Findlay COUNTY ADVERTISER. ., but A lady ba'ving Wriiten in the Liberal Christian questioning the power of fe male mfluencc to break the habit of confirmed tobacco users, a gentlemar‘: came out with this testimony: ‘ “ For nearlyfour years I use? tobac- co to excess, both chewing and smoking. A paper of tobacco purchased in the morning would be empty before night, and I thought I could not possibly get along without a smoke after each meal, and again at night just before retiring. I actually thought it- was impossible for me to abandon the habit. “Two years ago- ‘woman’s influence’. convinced me that I was mistaken. I was engaged to a young woman who urged the usual objections against the use of the ‘weed.‘ She reasoned with me until she convinced meshe was right. Then she plainly informed me that un- less I at once left 0E using tobacco she would not marry me. I promised to try, and did try hard, but failed. I; went to her and pleaded and coaxed,' but she was firm. ‘I love you, John, - but I cannot marry you if you love to- bacco better than you love me,’ was her reply. I concluded to do without for three months, or die in the attempt, as I then said. I did do without for three months, and at the expiration of that time I was actually alive and doing well. “The day before the time was up I promised to abstain for three months more. I lived through this period quite easily, and Was then perfectly willing to promise abstinence for ninety-nine years. I have not touched tobacco since, and 1 have no desire to do so. I am ccnfi- ' dent. that numerous instances can be found where ‘woman’s influence’ has ‘ gained a. lasting victory over the ‘Indian weed’ and also over ‘King Alcohol.’â€"â€" women, try the experiment and judge for yourselves. “’ith a little firmness, you will be sure to come off victorious, if you have a man to deal with.” Rev. Dr. Osgood, in the Evening Post, thus compares the middle classes of this country and Europe: “Our uppc1 class does not differ much from the Upper class of Eumpean so- ciety, so far as manners and refinement are concerned, hut there IS ne such mid- dle class 1n Europe as our plain people, no class so well taught and well bred, so dignified and gentle, so independent and respectful. Our plain peeple are not rude, and with us the terms gentle» man and lady do not have their Euro- pean meaning. With us these words refer to character, and not mainly, as in Europe, to birth and position. With us a gentleman is a man of gentle Spir- . it, who subdues his selfish impulses into social courtesy, and bears a thoughtful and genial humanity in his speech and habit. Such persons are found among us in all stations. It seemed to me that the English middle class showed a . kind of sycophaney to... the aristocratiel class, which they sometimes tried to i disguise by a tone of indifference or dis- like, while few of them have the dignity and modesty of our plain people. I was not sorry, in this as well as in other important respects, to come back with fresh satisfaction to our own country I and its peeple.” Encouraging Testimony, The Emperor of China is fifteen years old, and is to be married this year, with immense pomp, to his first and chief wife, his Empress. He will be simul- taneously provided with second .and third wives; and. from all parts of the Empire victims are being collected to swell the list of his harem.
