THE HAPPY FARMER 1t does ones heart
good to see merry round faced farmer. So in
dcpenden,, and yet SO free from vanities and
pride, so rich and yet 50 industTous-so patient
and persevering in his calling, and yet so kind,
social and obligng. There are a thousand no.
ble traits about his character. He is generally
hospabe-eat and drink with him, and he
won't set mark on you and sweat it out of
you with double compound Interest, as some
know will-you are elcome. lie will DO you
a kindness without expecting return by way
Of compassionate is not so with every body
lie s generally more honest and sincere-less
disposed to deal in low and undeIhanG cunning,
than many | could name. He gives society its
best supports the frmcst pillar that supports
the edIfce OF government-hc is the lord OF ma
ture. Look at him in his home-spun and gray
Gentlemen laugh at him il you will-but
believe me, he can laugh back if he peases.
