“ Children, you have said enough: why, quick; ’tis true, she makes no noise or pa¬ 
laver about it. But did you mind how quick 
sho noticed my wet hay—and also that tho 
Prentice field was all clear? Ono word from 
her is enough, although she never twits ono 
about one’s bad luck.” 
No wonder the children loved Aunt Fan¬ 
ny, for she was a capital story-teller. 
“ Done reaping! done, all done,” exclaim¬ 
ed Bill, as entering the kitchen ho tossed 
his cap on the hook, “ and now if Aunt Fan¬ 
ny would like it, father says we may all go 
down to the oak pasture. Are you rested, 
Aunty?—over a week since you came.’’— 
Aunty was rested, butofcourseslie well knew 
the children would enjoy the walk quite as 
well when haying was over, to say nothing 
of tho additional pleasure of having Mr. 
Lee’s company. 
“ All ready, Aunt Fanny, all ready for 
that walk! Father says we must bo quick, 
for that good-for-nothing horse wont stir an 
inch, and father says wo must walk all tho 
way : hut it is so pleasant wo wont mind, 
will wo, Aunt Fanny,” said littlo Ellen, as 
she placed her little warm, soft hand in Fan¬ 
ny’s, and with father and the boys before, 
proceeded down the hill,and over tho bridge. 
And now, as little Ellen leaves Aunt Fan¬ 
ny, and joins the boys in their search for 
berries, let us follow the brother and sister. 
As they pass the old moss-grown and di¬ 
lapidated school house, memories come rush¬ 
ing back—days of their happy childhood: 
and now, seated on a rock, beneath a wide- 
spreading oak, as Mr. Lee recounts ono by 
ono his plans for ilie future, and his bright 
hopes of success, why does that sister remain 
silent, till urged by Mr. Loo to givo her 
opinion in regard to the matter? 
“ I reckon you don’t think much of farm¬ 
ing, Fanny. You’ve boon down south, where 
lolior is disreputable and degVading, and I 
guess you, with all your New England sense, 
can’t shake off this feeling in a minute.— 
Nothing strange, though, but I tell you Fan¬ 
ny. farming is tho best business in the world, 
if well followed.” 
“ Well managed.” 
“ Yes, sister, 1 calculate if you come to 
see us half a dozen years hence, to show you 
a little of the profits of farming—there, do 
you see at the foot of the hill, those men 
digging that deep ditch, there in the Nelson 
swamp?” 
“ Yes. what of it?” 
“Nothing, only that is what I call a fair 
specimen of folly, or mismanagement.— 
Money thrown away. Would you believe 
it, if 1 were to tell you that tho clearing of 
that piece of land cost Prentice two hundred 
dollars, and I think sixty more, at least, will 
be expended in draining it. Money out of 
pocket. 1 longed to tell him better when 
he told mo this, but then it would have been 
useless; well, some must buy their experi¬ 
ence, dearly, too. 
“Well, Fanny, I wouldn’t say it to every 
one, but ‘it is an ill wind that blows good to 
no one.’ That farm will have to be sold 
again, no two ways about it. I don’t want 
it exactly, that is, I don’t need it; it may do 
for one of the boys—it’s handy"; say, what 
think of it, Fanny?” 
“ Brother, mine, did I over differ from 
you. needlessly, foolishly? Your attach¬ 
ment to this home of our childhood cannot 
be stronger, or more enduring than mine. 
“ Often, as I have reclined beneath the 
beautiful dark cypress of Alabama, have my 
thoughts wandered back to this very spot; 
yes, often in imagination, have 1 been seat¬ 
ed upon this rock, beneath the branches of 
this wide-spreading oak, where were passed 
many hours of our fresh and happy child¬ 
hood, and affections long slumbering have 
been recalled in all their purity. And how 
has my bosom yearned towards home! You 
need hut to go where I have been, to see 
what I have seen, to know the true dignity 
of labor. Where such pleasant homes, 
where such pure hearts as here in New Eng¬ 
land? You have hut to see as I have seen, 
the effect of sloth, indolenco, exemption 
from labor and care, to appreciate your own 
highly-favored position, that of the ’tiller of 
the soil.’ 
‘ But brother, 1 must speak plainly ; be¬ 
ware. lost in avoiding what you consider a 
useful expense, you cammit a greater error. 
No matter if you do not put the cash in your 
pocket, if you make a free and happy home 
for your own family, if with pure and lov¬ 
ing hearts you find and cherish what money 
cannot buy in this selfish world, true hap- 
pinoss, then he content. 
“ But do not suppose for one moment, 
that money uselessly expended in improve¬ 
ments, or rather supposed improvements, 
for may be I shall differ from you there, is 
the only evil to bo avoided. There is an 
evil, greater than all the ditching and sub- 
soiling of which you have boen speaking.— 
It is an improvident, careless, neglectful way 
of farming, which brings misery and want 
in its train. ‘ He that dealeth with a slack 
hand,’ you know the rest of it, brother. 
“ By tho way, have you thus far been suc¬ 
cessful in your plans—have your expecta¬ 
tions been realized—do you know how you 
stand—what is your yearly income?” 
“ O, ahem, I don’t exactly know, now ; hut 
thon ‘I am going’ to reckon up ono of these 
days, and then I can tell: but then you must 
know, Fanny, that keeping accounts, &c., 
on a farm, is what one can do or not, just 
as one chooses; its well enough, though, if 
ono has plenty of time to do everything, no 
harm perhaps can come of it, then, but hang 
it, (excuso mo sistor) if I would have the 
name of my wife’s keeping books or accounts 
for mo if ’twas never done. They say Mrs. 
Prentice assists her husband in such mat¬ 
ters.” 
“I shall begin to think quite highly of 
thisPrentice family, if I remain here through 
the season, I suspect,” replied Fanny with a 
smile. 
“0,1 have nothing against them, save 
perhaps a little prejudice; it’s their manage¬ 
ment. I spoak of,” said Mr. Lee. 
“ Now, Fanny, don’t you remember Major 
Simes? Well, ho undertook to manago 
something after this fashion; he bought 
new-fashioned tools of all descriptions, 
drained ail his low lands, grafted his apple 
trees, and tried all sorts of book farming, 
took I know not how many agricultural pa¬ 
pers. and what was the end of it, do you re¬ 
member, Fanny?” said Mr. Lee with a trium¬ 
phant smile. 
“ Yes, I remember it all, and do you re¬ 
member when wo children went to school, 
how the tools and machines all lay by the 
road side, piled and covered with snow— 
what strange fantastic forms they were; 
how the gates were off tho hinges, fences 
down, and the cattlo traversing the fields, 
breaking the young fruit trees, tho well 
sweep broken, and tho polo with a tin pail 
fastened on tho end to draw with ? 
“ Do you remember how you used to snow 
hall the house where no smoko issued from 
the chimney, on your way to school in tho 
morning, with no fear of a remonstrance 
from its inmates, who seemed to care for 
nought but ‘ a littlo more sleep Y Do you 
remember how ‘ his grafts’ died for want of 
care ? and again my memory is not at fault; 
if Major S. read agricultural papers, you 
and 1 know lie never paid for them! 
“ Yes, Jerry, I remember all theso things, 
and it was not book farming that ruined 
him, it was down-right—shall 1 say it, broth¬ 
er, shiftlcssncss; not a very pretty word, is 
it ? It the Major had united habits of regu¬ 
larity, industry and economy, with energy, 
his hook farming could never have harmed 
him ; hut, alas ! all theso impotrant requsi- 
ites were wanting. 
“As well might you supposo that the lo¬ 
comotive which is now flying past us in tho 
distanco, would reach its destination with its 
burden of living freight, at the given time, 
safe and sound, without wood or water, and 
the constant and unwearied care and over¬ 
sight of man.—as to think farming, with 
the most complete tools to work with, and 
correct ideas of their use, can be made a 
profitable or useful employment without a> 
systematic arrangement ot one s affairs with 
skill and prudence, and the same order 
which is requisite to render any other busi¬ 
ness prosperous. 
“In truth, brother, I do not believe it is 
a money-making business; hut that is of lit¬ 
tle consequence; do not teach your chil¬ 
dren that money-making is ot the most im¬ 
portance, hut tell them by your example, 
that ‘ money is nothing, that greatness is 
nothing, that goodness is tho real jewel in 
tho casket,’ and learn thorn to cherish it 
well. And, brother, lot me again speak 
plainly, do not let cares press too heavily 
upon vour wife. Y ou may not have no¬ 
ticed as I have, that Ellen is looking quite 
care-worn; believe mo, brother, tis not time 
alone, that has deepened and widened the 
furrows on her pale brow—hard work, broth¬ 
er—hard work”— 
IIow long tho conversation would have 
continued, wo know not. had not the sound 
of merry voices and tho lengthening shad¬ 
ows told thorn it was time to return. 
(See paye 73, this AY).) 
“Attempt the end, mid never stand to doubt; 
Nothing’s so hard, but search will find it out.’ 
JUMPING THROUGH YOUR UNGERS. 
Hold a piece of wood of the size of a common 
cedar pencil between the forefinger of each liana, 
as represented in the above figure, and without 
letting go, try to jump over it both forward and 
backward. With a little practice It can he done 
very easily, the feat mostly consisting iu the dif¬ 
ficulty of cleaving Ihe heels; so that it can only 
be performed with low-heeled hoots or shoes.— 
Y r ou may also jump over your middle fingers 
placed together, -without touching or separating 
them with your feet.
