To pine for mate
But together we'll enter,

The .4mericn Farmer has now been in ex-

ever published in the U. States, devoted exclu-

the pioneer in the good cause has steadily pur-
sued It's way, and in its ripe old age, eyinces
all the freshness and vgor OF youth. The pub
Usher feels conscious, that his numerous pa
irons will bear HIM out IN the assertion, that at
no stage of its existence has his journal been
received with more favor than at the present
time. Gentlemen of the highest standing, and
