NEW ENGLAND FARMER, 



MAY 6, 1835. 



HINTS TO YOUNG FARMERS. 



Considoi- your calling the most elevated anil 

 the most important : but never be above it, nor 

 be afraid of the frock and the apron. 



Put off no business which ought and can be 

 Joue today, until tomorrow. 



As soon as the spring opens and the frost is out 

 of the ground, put your fencqs in order. 



Plant no more ground than you can well ma- 

 nure and cultivate to advantage. 



Never hire a man to do a piece of work which 

 you can do yourself. 



Keep no more stock than you can keep in good 

 order, and that of the best kind. 



Never run into debt without a reasonable prob- 

 ability of solving, it at the time agreed. 



Never carry your notes in your pocket-book, as 

 the desk or trunk is a more appropriate place. 

 Keep them on file and in order, ready to be 

 found when wanted. 



Never buy anything at an auction because the 

 article is going cheap, unless you have a use for it. 

 Keep a place for your tools — and your tools in 

 order. 



Instead of spending a rainy day at the dram 

 shop, as many do to their ruin, repair whatever 

 wants mending — post your Ijooks. 



Should you be fond of the chase, or the sport 

 with the hook, indulge occasionally, but never to 

 the injury of more important concerns. 



By driving your business licfore you, and not 

 permitting your business to drive you, you will 

 have opportunities to indulge in innocent diver- 

 sions. 



Many a rising family, we were informed, was 

 made to go through a daily ifcocess of alcoholic 

 purification. 



One temperance man in particular, was men- 

 tioned, who was in the habit of purchasing new 

 rum by the barrel for this puri)Ose. We immedi- 

 ately addressed a note to a distinguished medical 

 professor then in the vicinity ; and after stating to 

 him the prevailing practice, proposed these ques- 

 tions. 1. Is new rum a healthf^l application to 

 the surface ? 2. Is there no hazard in exposing 

 children daily to its fumes ? The following is his 



reply. 



" There cannot be so good and safe a fluid as 

 water for ablutions either in fever or debility. 1 

 should expect that some of my children would 

 become drunkards, should I w.ash them in rum. 

 They might almost as safely take a few drops in 

 their stomaclis, ap to be bathed with it. The 

 senses of smell and taste are so closely allied, and 

 familiarizing the first with an uiisuitahle article, 

 prejjares tlie way to its being relished by the sec- 

 ond. Do tell that temperance man, as he loves 

 his children, and would wish to have them grow 

 up sober, to keep spirit beyond smelling distance 

 from them. The effect upon the functions of the 

 skin must be pernicious ; the powers of that im- 

 portant organ must be enfeebled by it." — Pitts- 

 hur.sh Friend.

How TO GET Rich. — If the following excel- 

 lent rules, which we cut from the columns of an 

 old paper, were generally observed, we should 

 have less coinplaints of " hard times." 



1. Never be in bed at six in the morning or 

 out of it at ten at night. The early riser is al- 

 ways in time with his business, while the sluggard 

 Jlins afttir it all day and never can overtake it. 



2. Mind your own business ; if you have not 

 enough endeavor to get more, and do not inter- 

 meddle with that of other people. 



3. Out of every dollar you get, save qne half 

 if you can, certainly one third. 



4. If you hope for independence, keep out of 

 debt. The honqr, the reputation and the liberty 

 of the debtor lie at the mercy of his creditor. 



.5. Ue just before you are generous. Never waste 

 nor go in debt to make entertainments. " Fools 

 make feasts and wise men cat them." 



C. Plenty is but a degree ^jiort of profusion ; 

 decent frugality is the best method to attain the 

 confidence of wise men. 



7. Credit is often a dangerous temptation, ^nd 

 the means of destroying itself ; like health, it is 

 only to be preserved by prudence and moderation. 



8. Gluttony is the grave of gain ; he that gut- 

 tles in a few hours the income of a week, mast 

 always be poor, and ultimately a beggar. 



TO NURSERYMEN. 



Rum for Bathi.nc. — The great enemy of our 

 race is fruitful in expedients for maintaining the 

 popularity of his favorite liquid. When vishing 

 one of the cities of our State, a few months since, 

 we were informed that the article was coming 

 into very general use as a cleanser of the surface. 



If you want to make a sober man a drunkard, 

 •rive him a wife who will scold him every time he 

 comes home. 



If you want to render your husband unhappy 

 blame him for everything he does, right or wrong. 



If you wish your sons to become tipplers make 

 it a point to use ardent spirits in the morning — 

 before dinner^:— when cold, wet, heated or fatigued; 

 and occasionally recommend its use in their 

 presence. 



And, finally : if you would always have a clear 

 conscience, be an honest man and a christian, and 

 if you would not be everlastingly dunned, pat 

 THE PRINTER. — Westcm paper. 



Riches. — It is a strange delusion for men to 

 suppose that happiness consists in riches. Con- 

 tentment is not to he found in splendor and mag- 

 nificence ; or why is it that princes have some- 

 times exhanged the grandeur of a palace for the 

 more simple enjoyments of private life ? Why 

 is the countenance of the rich man furrowed with 

 thought and anxiety, while the poor go on their 

 way shouting and exulting in the blessings which 

 God hath given theiji ? — Why does the man who 

 has grown in wealth, look back to the days of his 

 poverty and ask himself why he cannot now re- 

 joice as heartily over the much as he did oyer the 

 little? 



The Wheel of Fortune.^;-A laborer who 

 has for many years been in the employ of Mr 

 Giles, of Laiiibsidc Farm, near Holbcton, and who 

 bears an excellent character for sobriety and in- 

 dustry, last week received a letter acquainting him 

 with the death of a relative in Inditi, and by this 

 event, no less a sum than £30, 000 is placed at his 

 dispospl, together with much land (built on) ip one 

 of rthe most populous parts of London. This sud- 

 den and unexpected change of fortune, might have 

 turned some heads, but this truly honest nian rose 

 the next morning as usual, and attended his daily 

 avocations, without any apparent alteration, observ- 

 ing, that ' he had only heard of it, but had not got it.'
