The Far err.
II there are any who. 10 their daily avo-
cations, Can promise themselves real en-
Ijoyment, It certainly Is the farmer. True,
his labor 10 hard; but not too much 50, to
insure him good health. When he is at
rest, nature 10 laboring for him, end when
he sleeps, he 70 secure in the arms Of his
God. Surrounded oy the beauteous works
lof Nature. he enjoys the cool healthy
breeze, in its original puri,y-rot having
in it's wide and expanded scope the noxious
civilizations Of the filthy alleys and streets,
that are in towns and cities. His rest is
not disturbed by the inquisitive wancesings
Of the midnight robber, nor the loud ha has
and savage-like yells Of accustomed visit.
ors Of the grocery and the co6ee-house-
and when he walks with leisure his beau
tiful lanes and fields, he fears not the dirk
or ether weapons Of the assassin. Nay
peace, happiness, and tranquility. and nu-
meIous other blessings dwell with him
He knows but little Of the troubles and
difficulty which most other men encounter,
misfortune seldom crosses his path, and all
changes Of the age appear for his good.
The business OF the farmer will never
become useless. Without him we cannot
prosper. While the cunning artist is in
venting bor-saving machinery, for man.
ufacturing many articles pertaining to our
wants and necessities, he never can substi-
tute any source IN lieu Of our mother earth,
from which we can derive our sustenance;
though machinery ofdifferent kinds is con-
stantly nsented which relieves the hus-
bandman Of great deal oflabor.
The loss of the farmer, when one be-
falls HIM, IS nothing compared with those
generally met with by the merchant, the
mechanic, the manufacturer, and others
engaged in more uncertain pursuits. The
burning of cities, Of towns, Of manufacto-
RES, Of workshops--and the shipwreck of
vessels, the burning and sinking of steam
boats seldom ever affect him; but by indus
try and economy he earns his "rise and
pro sress" as he receives it.
Custom has established law, in towns
aad cities, ;hat when neighoors are opt Of
the fashion they are out Of society, while
the farmer esteems those of his neighbors
who pay a regard to virtue and integrity
1t is not the neighbor who comes in his
tights or bis rssd2es, thar has his wants sup
Piled; but the one who is endeavoriDg to
gain his sustenance by his labor and indus
TRY. Some are so vain as to believe that
the farmer does not consider these things !;
but he has channels through which he hon
|es,ly learns toreason. He reads his bible
and other books to accumulate a knowl-
ledge Of tho history OF former ages, and to
obtain knowledge Of the sayings and
doings Of the present, he subscribes for
the newspaper. He reads all without
prejudice or partiality, and recommends to
his neighbors, the propr,ety of doing like
