Neither is agriculture wanting in subjects
for the exercise Of the intellectual faculties;
on the other hand, it is more purely than any
other an intellectual employment. The arts
and sciences may one and all be studied with
advantage by the farmer, and their secrets all
pressed into his use. Chemistry teaches him
the nature and structure Of the soils-their
aptitude for the different agricultural products
and the uses of the different articles employed
to addto their fertility. Botany opens bound
less field for his instruction and profit in the
analysis of the products, their orders, uses,
and analogies. The field. the yard and the
stable present to him innumerable subjects
for study, and continual claims for an impro-
wing hand, and an enquiring mind. The in
PRODUCTION of new and profitable agricultural
products, and the best modes Of pursuing their
cultivation. The improvement in the breeds
of cattle by judcious crossings, or the bring
ing in of foreign varieties the alienation of
crops in such manner as to enrich rather
than impoverish the soil, all are subjects wor-
thy the attention Of master mind, and suffi-
GENTLY interesting for the most determined
novelty seeker.
In these days, farming is no longer matter
Of chance, in which man may gain or lose
without knowing the reasen. 1t is game of
skill, in which he who plays best, wins the
prize. In other words, it Is science, and it
is fast becoming, under modern improvements,
one of the eract sciences. 1t is calling in col
lateral aid from all the other sciences, and is
stretching forward towards perfection faster
than any of them. Is it not then business
for the young and enterprizing? Is not the
buoyant mind and the strong arm of youth,
the right material to embark in its pursuit.
and where is country like the west, for
the adoption of such an occupation. The
cheapness of land places it within the reach OF
every one, and its fertility will ensure live
lihood to all its votaries. If the labors of the
week are barely sufficient to procure subsis-
tence in New England; in OHIO, the labors Of
day will amply provide for the seven. While
in New England the farmer is too busy tc
study books, even upon his own profession
in Ohio, man may have ample time, not only
to learn his trade, but to gain an ample stock
of learning upon all other subjects. If ir
New England the farmer is a slave, and mus
bow his head to the grindstone from day Il
day, and from year to year; the farmer in Ohi'
may be gentleman, with ample time to min
gle in society, to improve his mind, and to lay
up competence for himself and his children

A FAIR BUSINESS TRANsAcTIoN. 80 The best
joke says the N. o. Picayune shat has oc-
cured for twelve month has been at our ex-
pense. 1t will be remembered, perhaps, that
few weeks since to country editors general
ly, that we required boot, as the difference Of
exchange between them and us was 50 great
that we could not afford to do otherwise.
Since that notification, we have received nu-
merous remittances from our rustic brethren;
but the oldest specimen of country currency
that we have yet seen, reached us yesterday
through the post office. 1t was contained in
large package, done up in straw paper. We
burst open the envelope, and unrolled till we
came to the second-then there was q third
then fourth-but the hardness Of the pack
age convinced Us that it was not all paper, till
at length, after taking off about two dozen en-
velopes, out came huge, old, wornout, run
down, dirty, mashed-up boot, containing a
newspaper, from the office of one of our breth-
rem in Mississippi, with this note Please ex-
change-and give us credit fer the boot
'WelI--the currency of Mississippi, as eve-
ry body knows, is long way below par--but
we had no idea that it had got do 1n to such a
low footing. We have no complaint, however,
to make--we asked for boot, and we have got
boot and our brother at Holly Springs shall
have the Picayune, in consideration of the
boot.

"BLowING THE CLAssIcKs."--In one of the
Wabash counties, in this state, (says the Chi
cago Democrat,) where they make people half

Of the old Kentuck, a long time ago, man
was brought before the court for killing anoth-
er and plead "ser defence" After thejurors
had retired for making up their verdict, to ia
cilitate business as much as possible. The
foreman observed that it was lawful for one
man to kill another in self defence, but not un-
til he first took out writ of habeas corpus.
"Habeas corpus! writ of ha5eas corpus!

gust body. If man goes to murder me, I
can use no other weapon but writ of ha5eas

pause. AT length the youngest Of the compa-
ny, with an air Of exnltation, spoke up: ~

SINGULAR AND INTERESTING 0ccURRRNcg.---
A respectable women having left her child,
an infant Of two years of age, to play about
the door till she attended TO some household
duties, went when she was disengaged to look
for her charge. The urchin could barely
crawl, and she expected to find it at the door.
There, however, it was not, and the mother,
in considerable alarm, called on several Of the
neighbors, to inquire ifthey had eeen her child.
No one had seen it; and as considerable time
had now elapsed in making ffuitless inquiries,
the anxiety and tears of the poor woman be-
came proportioEally augmented. Parents only
can Judge of her feelings when no trace Of her
child could be found, ,--The -neighbors kindly
assisted in making g>Strict inqIsition in every
well, pg-stye, hen-roost, or out of the way
corner, for the wondered wean. He was, how
ever, nowhere to be found, and as last re-
course, it was resolved that the bell ehould
be sent through the town. In the meantime
the mother, in state bordering on destrac
ton, went into her own house to rummage
every hole and bunker, bed and cupboard.
While thus employed, one Of her sympathzng
friends happened to cast her eyes TO the gable
of neighboring house, and there, with sur
prise and horror, discovered the lost child per-
ched on ladder, and within few stops of It's
very top, apparently quite delighted with its
state of exaltation. A lady endeavored to
induce the ambitious minkt to come down; but
no. it shook its head and sat fast. She then
tried to 60 up the ladder, but half way up her
head grew giddy, and she was obliged to de-
scend without accomplishing her object. The
mother was informed by this time that the child
was found, but her feelings may be more easi-
ly guet g ID than described when she saw its dan
ger. The ladder was long enoughto reach the
caves of the three story house, and within four
steps of it was her child, holding firmly by one
of the bars, and looking quite complacently on
the faces below. With trembling steps the
agtated mother cautiously ascended the lad
der, but when within arms length of her in
fant, and on the point of laying hold of him,
he, as ifto mock the agony ofhis parent, clam
bered up the remaining steps, and straddling
across the topmost bar, held out his little
hands and smiled, as ifproud of his daring feat.
The mother at last folded the object of her fears
and affections to her fond bosom, and descen-
ded with her precious burden in safety, shed.
ding tears and gratitude and breathing heart
felt prayer to that Providence which had sc
nifaculously preserved her dear little pet

ORIGINAL.

AGRIcULTURE.-One reason why the young
men of New England, who are looking to
| the west as their future home, are indls.
posed to engage in the business of cultlvating
the soil, is an opinion that farming is only o
servile and slavish employment, presenting nc
field for observation or research, engaging on
ly the labors of the hands, and excluding the
mental faculties entirely from its operations
The reasons for such an opinion are perfectly
obvious. They have seen their fathers faith
fully plodding along in the same old beaten
track which their fathers pursued, their noses
to the plough from day to day, and from year
to year, carefully eschewing every thing in the
shape of novelty, and perhaps sneering at
what they would deem the fantastic nonsense
of those who talked of setting aside the good
old ways, and adopting new ideas and modes
of raising agricultural products. They have
found at home, no standard work upon agri-
culture, have seen no periodical upon that sub
Ject, or if they have, they have heard its in
formation undervalued. and it's recommends
tions laughed at, till they have adopted the
opinion, that farming is sort of stereotype
business, consisting only of SO much plough
ing, sowing or reaping, requiring neither
thought nor information, and which may as
well be performed by a wooden machine, as by
man owning head, and willing and desirous
to use it to some purpose.
Now, however obvious is the source of such
opinions, nothing is more true, than that they
are entirely incorrect. No business in which
mankind can be engaged, is 50 well calculated
to promote healthful state of the body, and
as consequence, an activity of the mental
powers, like that Of agriculture. Cheerful
ness, aptitude for thought and yigor Of the
mental powers are the birthright of the far
mer. It is only in healthful form that the
mind acts with full vigor, and what business
is SO well calculatedto give sanity to the ply
sical powers as that Of cultivating the soil
Not only SO, but the agricultu.alist, is, by his
profession thrown into situation where he
can contemplate continually the wonders and
beauties Of the natural world, which are SO
well calculated to cxalt the mind, and give
higher tone to its views and feelings.
