AGRICULTURAL-SCIENTIFIG
THE FARMER.

Itis lamentable fact, that the farmer does NOD.
occupy that elevated position in society that his
cupalion entities him to. He is looked upon as
being quite below the lawyer, physician, divine,
artist, merchant, or merchants clerk. To bes
farmer, is to be nobody. mere clodhopper, a dig
ger Of bogs, bitches and dung heaps, and free 70
walIow in the 'lree soil" he cultvates, provided
he never seeks to elevate himself above that posi-
ton, to what The world call "good society."-
Hence comes the desire of"lhe boys" to escape,
not SO much the drudgery Of their employment. -
from the idea that they are looked upon and est.
mated as mere drudges.
What blindness, folly, and false philosophy ID
his2 The result ofihese false premises is, that the
"professionsn are crowded 10 The starvation point,
clerks not only go begging. but become beggaIs or
worse; merchants are multiplied, and good old fass-
ioned labor is going cut of fashion.
While we would give all due honor 70 the pro-
fessions, the farmer, who is the producer, all,
both in food and raiment, that adds 10 the comfort
and sustenance of the human family, need not feet
that he is below occupations that gain their supper,
from the folly, pride, misery or wickedness OF their
fellow creatures.
IF the aspirations of farmers were half so strong
10 elevate their sons as farmers, as il is 10 make
them merchants or professional men, and perchancs
loafers, we should soon be taught TO look TO the Ag
ricutura class for the best Bred well as the best
fed men in America.-Barntim's ADDRESS,

sMALL-sIZED LADIES.

In little precious stone.
What splendor meets the eyes
In little lump Of sugar
How much Of sweetness lies!
So in little woman,
Love grows and multiplies;
You recollect the p, ovcrb says
GA word unto the WISE"
A pepper.corn is very small,
But seasons every dinner
More than all other condiments,
Although 'tis sprinkled thinner.
Just so little woman is,
i. love will let you win her;
There's not a jov in all the world
You will not find within her.
And as within little rose
u. end the -;~b""t dyes,
And in little grain Of gold
Much price and value lies;
As from little balsam
Much odor doth arise,
DIN little woman
There's taste of Paradise.
The sky lark and the nightingale.
Though small and light Of wing,
Yet warble swectcr in the grove
Than all the birds that sing;
And so little woman,
Though very little thing,
Is sweeter than ali other sweets,
Fen flowers that bloom in spring.

The FREE STYLE OF DANcING.-Our protest,
last week, against Inc indscriminae use of the
polka at parties, has been received with general
favor. We think we can trace something Of the
deporabe condition of affairs which late events have
proved as existing in fashionable society, 10 the
freedom of manners which the polka allows, and
even invites. Waltzing, when well done, is very
graceful, we allow. We do not blame ladies', there
fore, who approve of dancing. for nduging in either
the Polka, the Redowa, or The plain waltz, povIded
the partner is husband brolher or another female;
