Hints to Young Farmers. 
NO. XIII.—“despise not small things.” 
The small trees that were set out by your fathers, 
have grown into a fruit-hearing orchard, and yield sub¬ 
sistence to the family and the farm stock. The once 
puny saplings which in childhood you assisted to plant 
about the house, give shelter and picturesque beauty to 
the old homestead. The grape cutting has become a 
wide spreading vine, and yields an annual tribute of 
luscious fruit. The acorn has grown to a towering oak. 
How many of the comforts and pleasures which you en¬ 
joy, do you owe to the happy circumstance that your 
parents did not despise small things ? 
Our passions and habits, like the oak and the apple- 
tree, have their small beginnings. We may train them 
to our will, and render them subservient to the noblest 
purposes of life. Thus the seeds of useful knowledge, 
planted in early life, will spring up, and give an abun¬ 
dant increase in manhood. Thus, too, habits of indus¬ 
try and frugality, established in youth, although then 
often considered small things, are the germs of wealth 
and happiness in riper years. Moral soundness and pu¬ 
rity will lead to honor and respect; while the habit of 
scrupulously respecting the rights, and promoting the 
welfare of our neighbors, is the surest means of obtain¬ 
ing what we all stand in need of, the kind offices and 
good will of others. If these small things are not re¬ 
garded while the twig may yet be bent, you cannot ra¬ 
tionally expect to enjoy the pleasures and profits which 
they yield in maturer life. 
The vegetables must be planted while they are yet 
small things, and they must be nurtured and protected, 
or they will fail to yield the promised food and shelter. 
'The good habits, too, must be established in the germ 
of life, and the passions disciplined, if you would rea¬ 
lize the parallel of usefulness and beauty. The plants 
may become the property of others, and you lose the 
promised reward of fruit. But your good habits and 
sound principles are exclusively your own. You can 
enjoy the rewards they bring, while you live, and can 
indulge the hope that your children will be benefitted by 
the influence of your example. 
Plant trees and vines, that they may yield you the 
comforts of life: cultivate the better passions, and es¬ 
tablish the good habits, in yourself and children, that 
you may all truly enjoy those comforts. 
NO. XIV.—TIME IS CAPITAL. 
Every young man has this capital at command, when 
he reaches the age of manhood; and in this respect all 
are equal. We may state it at an average, at one thou¬ 
sand dollars; because every prudent laborer, if he is 
blessed with health and a tolerable knowledge of any 
useful business, may save from his annual earnings se¬ 
venty dollars. This seventy dollars, accumulated an¬ 
nually from one’s earnings, and prudently husbanded, 
will, at the end often years, form an aggregate of more 
than one thousand dollars ; and if continued ten years 
longer, will have accumulated to nearly three thousand 
d'ollars. Every dollar saved, and duly vested in the 
• outset of life, multiplies progressively as time advan¬ 
ces. ■ V ’ 
V ■ How differently do'young men employ this capital! 
Those who best appreciate its value, and who employ 
/it to the best advantage, are such as depend upon it 
' ‘solely; as the foundation of their fortunes—who do not 
lean upon a paternal inheritance. The most wealthy 
and distinguished men of our country were of this class; 
whose time constituted the only capital they had to be¬ 
gin the world with, and who, with this beginning, which 
every young man has equally at command, have accu¬ 
mulated vast fortunes. With them time has truly been 
money. 
On the other hand, when we have seen yqung men, 
either because they did not appreciate its value, or be¬ 
cause they relied too much upon hereditary rank and 
fortune, throw away this capital—this time of youth— 
or waste it in frivolity and fashion, we have generally 
seen them sinking in the scale of society, both in regard 
to wealth and usefulness; and have too often seen them 
reduced to want or to crime. 
If the young man will look about, and inquire into 
the early habits of the generation before him, he will 
find abundant reason to concur with us in opinion, that 
time is capital —is money—which, if discreetly employed 
in the outset of life, will lead to fortune and happiness ; 
but which if wasted, or unemployed, will give neither 
increase nor character to its possessor. 
We have assumed as the basis of our comparison, 
the time of a common laboring man, who exerts merely 
his bodily and mechanical powers. We have made no 
reference to the powers of the intellect. Where these 
are brought out, by reading, observation and reflection, 
and made auxiliary to labor, they very materially en¬ 
hance the value of the capital of which we are speak¬ 
ing. They add to its value two, three and fourfold. A 
common laborer’s tinie maybe stated at $110 a year; 
while there are others, whose education qualifies them 
for higher duties, whose services will command twice, 
thrice, nay ten times as great a salary; so that every 
young man who expects to start in life with the bare 
capital of his time, has it in his power very much 
to increase the value of this capital, by the early im¬ 
provement of his mind. Thousands and tens of thou¬ 
sands are constantly making experiments and improve¬ 
ments in agriculture, a knowledge of which would dou¬ 
ble or treble the profits of his labor. These experi¬ 
ments and these improvements are registered in our 
agricultural periodicals; and he may obtain an early 
knowledge of them for a trifle, and without infringing 
upon his labors, and may apply them to the increase, 
and consequently to the income of that capital. There 
is no art, no calling, but demands industry and perse¬ 
verance, to attain to excellence in; and there is proba¬ 
bly no business to which this remark is more applicable, 
than to agriculture. It embraces the whole of animated 
nature—the animal and vegetable kingdoms—and the 
crust of the globe which he works. Were the farmer 
to live the age of the patriarchs, he might continue to 
learn something useful in his business to the last day of 
his life.

How to Ruin a Son. 
1. Let him have his own way. 
2. Allow him free use of money. 
3. Suffer him to rove where he pleases on the Sabbath. 
4. Give him full access to his wicked companions, 
5. Call him to no account for his evenings. 
6. Eurnish him with no stated employment. 
Pursue either of these ways and you will experience 
a most marvellous deliverance, or will have to mourn 
over a debased and ruined child! Thousands have re¬ 
alized the sad result, and have gone mourning to the 
grave.— Philadelphia Observer.
