THE FARMER.

1t has got to be quite fashionable 10
court and hatter the farmer-to speak well
of his occupation, and praise him for in
dustry, frugality, and integrity. How ma
ny of those speak in this wise of that re-
spectacle portion of our fellow ci,rzens,
would be likely to take their places, and
put their hand to the plough and look back
to the professions they now follow, wi,h>
out any regrets at the change in their &C.
cupation! Very few we think.
The farmers life, though noble, is not
an easy one. He literally lives by the
sweat of his brow; he earns what he has:
he lives by the fruits of his own industry,
and not on other mems earnings. And
this is the reason why certain class had
rather praise the tller, than initiate him.
They praise him while they would filch
from him his honest gains, by unjust leg
isla,ion and unequal laws.
We know something about farming
our happiest and best days were spent in
clearing up the land for the harrow, aud
in holding the plough. The labor was
hard, but the rest was sweet; the recon,
pense was small but sure. 1t was an hou-
est way OF getting living. We like far
ming, and we look forward with hope.
that we may sometime, have ..little land
well Tiled aud a few cows for the dairy.
and some pigs in the pen, and some hens
in the coop, and all the ct ceteras usually
belonging to farm house with a plenty
OF hard work to keep things neat and tidy.
This is our earthly Elysium, and this,
just now, while we are writing, is the
height of our ambition. But mind, it
must all be paid fort is hard for a far
mer to work out an old debt. If he gets
in debt to Squire Cut,hroat, or Col. AL.
cohol, or Dandy Broadclolh, it is all over
