well because you desire good crops, and y"'

These are only temporary. But the mind

Iy cultivated, brings forth fruit through all

Why, my dear fellow, that fine horse you
rode TO town yesterday would send one of
your boys 10 The academy whole year {:
and how much good that would do him.
How much better he wonld be prepared to

John, you are all ass, downright dot !;
why, man, the world is great deal wiser
than when you and ] were boys. Then the
minister and lawyer were the fountains Of
wisdom. They, with the doctor. knew il
all. We consulted them on all occasions.
They married u.s. and made laws for us. and
thought for US. But times have changed.
The mass begin to think for themselves.
There is, therefore, great necessity for a
more general and thorough education every.
where. No farmer or mechanic should
hesitate for moment, but should strain
every nerve 10 give all his children the very
best education in his power. Sow the good
seed bounllully, and in due time it will
bring forth an abundant harvest of honor to
your offspring in Your old age.
But you have such large family.
No matter. II you really try, there will
be no tIouble ; for the boys, if YOU give them
liberty, will get al,ng with moderate assist.
ance I'd educate them to be farmers, and
marry farmers girls for wives. Let them
learn trade if they like, but don't think of
allowing them to go into counting room or
profession. The farmers is The only truly
independent profession or trade. Don't for
