PART HIPâ€"MATTHEW BERNARD’S FIVE YEARS. “ Who is that at the gate, father? some gentleman, I see,” said Bertha to her fathor, as she was clearing the dinner-table. “ I have thought so, and after ma- ture deliberation, have deeided to take hold and master the calling, and trust to God for results, provided I can ob- tain a place to do so,” was Ma’tthew’s enthusxastic reply. 7‘ W hatmy services are worth, and no more,” promptly answered our young friend. “ I was in hopes of receiving more; but in consideration of my little idea of farming, I do not know but the price is sufficient,” and then hesitat- ing a moment, that he might rapidly consider the subject, he soon continued, “ upon the Whole, I Will accept your offer.” , Before the family had risen from the breakfast table on the following morning, Matthew Ber‘nard appeared at Deacon Howland’s door. «clad in homespun, with a small bundle in his handsâ€"as he afterwards said, sufficii ent clothing to commence business with. The old man arose, and going to the door, observed a genteelyâ€"dressed young man ascending the steps, who inquired: “Does Walter Howland live heie ?” “I am he; walk in, sir.’.’ Entering the spacious dining-room, and being seated, he said: “I am Mathew Bernard, formerly clerk at Yurdstiok’s, in Linton, and am seek- ing a place to work upon a farm. I have been referred to you as a possi- ble place to find work.” At; these words, Deacon Howland placed his golden-bowed spectacles calmly on and looked so incredulously at; Matthew for a few moments that our friend became almost ashamed to repeat; his object in calling, and bent his eyes down and sat; gazing at the floor, which almost glistenecl in its elemiliness. “Are' you aware that a man who labors upon a farm must needs be ex- posed to all weather; that the labor itsclt‘is monotonousâ€"dull, ina gener- al way; and more than that, it re- quire: a man to lay aside fastidious habits and become what you town folks calla ‘ Clod-hopper ?’ ” asked the Deacon. ~ “Young man,” said Deacon HOW- land, “I like that talk.

Are you willing to deny yourself many comforts for the sake of suc- cess 'K” c1 """"" " brief reply. “HOW much wages do you expect?” inquiggd Mr. Howland. “First-class help cemmands about twenty-five dollars per month and keeping. I don’t think you could get above fifteen, and if you choose to try it, at that, you may stay with us,” said the Deacon. Soon the Deacon, Who saw the flurry his visitor was in, remarked: “ My young friend, I am in need of a man, but hardly think a person who has been nubject to such training as you say you have, would suit my purpose.” "‘ I am aware of my total ignorance of the duties of a farm laborer, s1r; but am ontiraly Willing, and indeed: very anxious, to learn. I Will tell you frankly, Mr. Howland, I despise the lazy and efi‘eminate life of a. clerk, and Wish to engage in a more ennobâ€" ling occupation,” courageously said Matthew, gaining control over him- selt’at the kind and quiet words ot the deacon. “Very well, sir,” answered HOW- Iand. “When will you be prepared to begin work?” “To-morrow, sir. I must needs go to Linton before Lean take hold prop- erly,” answered 'Matthew._ HAMMERING IT THROUGH.

DREAMING. RICHMOND HiLL, ONTARIO, CANADA, FRIDAY, JULY '4, 1873 As the days rolled alorg, Matthew,‘ whose Whole heart seemed imbued with the new world about, him, slow- ly gained the knowledge of duties falling upon himâ€"all of wh-ieh be en- deavored to perform to the satisfacâ€" tion of the Deacon, towmf‘gi whom he began to feel the afi‘ectionv of a. son, and who in return answered the Ifiany questions pertaining to [the proper conduct of successive emf); and eager- ly asked by the novice; { ~ A Oh ! how the baclfi‘acheQâ€"how the limbs seemed ready to“ s» bodyâ€"how often than 7 turned his mind to :r‘ " storeâ€",and how, aft ' i ' , or breathing spell, man would break out with, “ Hammer it; through!” and struggled on.until the supper horn called the men from the fields. After the evening meal upon the farm. the true lové of .afaymer’s life reveals itself in the cat-emf the stock, poultry and other livin‘g but unspeak- ing attachments to every well-to-do farmer. “ Yes,” thought Matthew, “here, in these dumb creatures, the enn‘bbling traits of mart can find vent forits talents.” if: ‘ ’ Hoeing in the heat Of June and July, with the perspiraubn rdlling down his faceâ€"hands ,blistox'ed‘and aching backâ€"4mg royya hpfor‘el him and accustomed handslbeé » e I Ch! . how manfully’ man struggle against the odds; 4 each row was ended, sing joyfully, Not only did these words fill his own weary hands with renewed vigor, but they also seemed to fire the hearts of those with him to such a degree that the deacon would often be as- tonished that the work was going for- ward so rapidly. It is the sour and cheerless heart that drags all things behind it. The cheerful, courageous one will push everything ahead of it -â€"and having got it in good motion, the heaviestpart of the task is accom- plished. ‘ It was a. dry, warni'spring day, with a stiff breeie frmhxthe south, which blew the dust'rafised by the drag all about him, nearly suffocating Matthew with its intense mastery. Tramp, ‘ tramp, back and, forth over the newly 'pldwed ground. All day the hours seemed to grdi‘v longer as each successive one came, until our friend seemed fainting with the un- wonted labor! ‘ So, when one year had rolled over Matthew’s services upon the flarm of Deacon Howland, the latter reâ€"engag- ed him for an indefinite time at 11111, experienced wages. So aptly did the late novice assume the duties after his second bargain with his employer, the Deacon actuâ€" ally found that much of the supervis- ion of the estate was wholly useless because of Matthew’s'foresight and tact in arranging the labor of the men. This inborn ability created con: fidence, which brought the same qualâ€" ityin return. Everything prospered during the second year, and nothing lagged with the third, by which time Matthew was pronounced by the neighbors all about as the most practical and sensi- ble among them allâ€"little reckoning they What mental toil the slender boy mastered. By night and through the long winters Matthew’s mind was intent upon nothing except devising new methods of making the most from the least. The experience of men of science he tested, and separ- ated the good from the worthless. The best alone would satisfy his ambi~ tionâ€"â€"to excel in all things being his aim. Could Deacon Howland be insensi- ble to the value of enchserviceâ€"faith- f'ul service such as would delight only in hammering success out of some doubtful project? This is a. service the gods delight inâ€"a ser‘irice that heaven;prospersâ€"_more exalted than the conqueror of battles; the which draws all men to the fth of the hero whodare aim at such bountiful bene- fits regardless ofg soltié“lEa:celsior !” Matthew followed the, boys to the barn and aidedyin llamas-sing the horsesâ€"so awkwardly, indeed, that the other men could not, fepress their l’nerrimenbâ€"all of Whié}: our friend took good-humoredly, and. when he explained that he was there only to learn, the others showed genuine rural willingness to aid the mew-comer. As the third year drew to a cloée, Matthew mok'advantage Dfia' rainy day to meet Deacon Hewlanid in the sitting-room for the puffio'eo‘bf getting the old gentleman’s-“adfice upon a project he‘had' long‘ had. in mindâ€",â€" the purchase or rent of a. neighboring farm. The meeting Wasv‘purely inci- dental, ‘as Matthew had not dared to decide for himself. It was short and to the pointâ€"our'hero immediately broached the subject by saying : " You will have to barrow the out field to-day ; the boys wallshow you,” said the Deacon. “f ’ ' “Deacon, I am desirous of having the benefits of a farm, or so much so as pOSSible for my oWn use. Shall I buy or hire one ?" Having been informed that it was customary to do up the chores before breakfast, that they might go to the fields immediately after, Matthew ro- quested instruction: for the day. “ Hammer before you, Hammer behind yOu ; Let nothing falter with youâ€"7‘ Hammer above you, r Hammer beneath you, ‘ And hoe your long rqw through.” “Five years up to-day, Harry, and balance sheet ready, eh ?" was the salutation of Matthew Bernard, as he Walked into the establishment of Harry Thomas. _' “My acl’géunb is s ewhat lengthy, but for simplicity% have bulked it _d0wn,-.andxwill '_ ‘y’ that the savings I {made While at’flfinings amountgd to nin‘ef hug, r " ’,‘ " fl -‘ mérg'éa‘in‘ my stock.

I can safely say I have in my own right over two thousand.” _ Bernard returned to his plow, and by hard labor and careful expendi- ture, in less than five 'years more he was able to,and did, purchase Deacon Howland’s farm. free from encumb- rance and well stockedâ€"receiving as a free gift Bertha Howland, Who made him, as he was wont to say, “feel richer than all his acres could.” Stu- dious to. a degree, he added fertility to his original and later purchased acres, until now, in the full strength of manhood, he is counted as the wealthiest man in townâ€"all brought by Hammering it Through. »Rural New Yorker. “Then the liftle difference in re- sults thus far appears to be on your side ; but if'we consider that my pro- perty is secure from all liability, while yours is encumbered by entang- ling alliances that may at any time cause you trouble, if not lose, I must claim that my exemption from debt weighs heavily in my favor,”_ replied Matthew. After many interchanges of per» sonal experience, and planningfor the fut_u_re, the two friendgsrepapated. 7 Thomas pored over his ledger a few years, when failing health caused by too close confinement and debilitating habits, forced him to retire upon a capital of six thousand dollarsâ€"suffi- cient, ifjudiciously handled, to enable him to eat without the sweat of his brow. ‘ In the quaint old town of Burling- tou, New Jersey, lived a. colored divine, who ‘wkas known among his ebohy couhtl‘jlrngm by, thp eqphonious name of “ Brudder 'Jacksing.” :Some years ago the abog'e named '5brudder’lwas paeach- ing to ‘is “ deluded bru‘ddeyin’,” when, all bf $4 su’rfél’én, getti'ng'much excitgbd; and picking up‘tll'e‘ 'elegaht new Bible Wl‘l‘ifih ieposed before him upon yhe sacred altar for- the‘ first Sunday, held it poisefl in mid-air for a moment, when down it; came like a thunderbolt to its former restingplace.

In resistance to the Spaniards, although not strongly fortified, every citizen be- came a soldier, and women even bore arms. But their enemies were too strong‘for them, and, although they did not give up', these courageous people saw every morsel of food consumed, and ate everything, even ,to the grass from the pavement, and finally yielded their tow_x_1L The flowers of Holland are de- Cochineal 'Coloring.â€"~The following is a good receipezâ€"Cochineal, alum, cream tarter, curb. potassa.

If found too thin, add beeswax; if too light in color, add asphaltum, though this must be done with caution, as a very little will make a great difference in the shade. Varnish is not essential, as the wax gives a good gloss. The practice of laying aside flannels in spring. is ,a most pernicious one. They are as necessary in July as in January. We can better do without woollens next' the skin in midwinter that in midsummer. We do not get overheated in winter ; we do in sum- mer 3 and the most frequentvexciting cause of coughs, colds, and consumption is a rapid falling of the temperature of the body. All are familiar with the fact that a sudden checking of perspir- ation is always dangerous 5 very little exercise causes us to perspire in sum- mer, and a very slight draft of air checks the perspiration 5 hence, colds taken in summer excite the most in- curable for'mszof consumption. _.VVhite woollen flannel a. most|eflicient guard against: these sudden changes; because «it keeps the ‘iiéaa‘ of the bdd’y‘i‘n; ‘whil‘e 'it'repels‘the exebesive heat- from" with: out; it conveys the water of perspira: tion to its outside, while thersui‘face next thedskin is, drier. , We all know that silk‘,’ cotton; and linen, next the skin get saturated with Water, and if, for an instant, the slightest draft of air gets between the skin and the material, there is a charnel-like‘ chill when that material touches the skin.. The rule should be to wear white woollen flan- nel next the skin all the year round; thick in winter, a little thinner in April, a gauze material on the first day of J uly ; on the first of October resume what was laid aside in July; on the Orange Cakeâ€"Three eggs, yolks and white, one cup flour, three table- spoons milk, one teaspoon baking powder, a little salt ; grate the peel and chop the pulp of anomnge to~ gether; squeeze .the juice out and mix with soft frosting, and put be tWeen the layers of cake When oold_ 'sé'rvingmfi‘mfim, fend form a very attractive part of the scen- ery. The tulips go ahead 'of everything; in other countries, for brilliancy and size, and have always been famous all over the world, they having sometimes sold for four thousand four hundred florins, and at a. time when there were only two roots in the market to be sold, a new carriage, pair of gray horses, and a set of harness, were ofl'e'red for one, and a piece of land, about twelve acres, for the other; and we saw a house in Haarlem that was sold for a tulip. So much of a business was made of it, that it became a species of gambling; and more roots were often sold than could be found in‘ Holland 3 their price difi'er- ing from day to day, like our stocks. Another of their peculiarities is evi- denced by Dutch signs. An apothecary has a large Turk’s head outside his door, with his mouth wide open, in the act of gaping. Most of them look as if they had taken a heavy dose of medi- cine, and did not like its effects. The barber hangs 'out one or two brass plates, the size of an ordinary dinner plate, \Ve could not imagine what it had to do with shaving, however. And their goods generally are advertised by very large specimens, like an enormous wooden shoe, or clock, or piece of china. The women knit everywhere, just as they do in Switzerland and Italyâ€"in the cars, at market, or by the wayside ; and they are at work in the fields wherever we have seen men at work.

French may remain the language of courts, but the commercial tongue of the world is undoubtedly the English, and the knowledge of it .is spreading with every fresh port in Asia and Africa opened to commerce, and with the advent of every English-speak- ing traveller or settler in Japan, China. and Egypt.
