PLEASURES FARMER LIFE. Horace Greedy
cudes recent agricultural address in the following
beautiful style:
Gas for me- long-tossed on the stormiest waves of
doubtful conflict and arduous endeavor, have begun
feel, since the shades of forty years fell upon me-
the weary, tempestdriyen voyagers longing for land
the wanderers ycarning for the hamlet where in
childhood ne nestled by his mothers knee, and was
soothed to sleep on her breast. The sober down-hl
of life dispes many illusions while it developes
strengthens within the attachment, perhaps long
smothcred or overaid, for that dear hut home.
And so in the sober afternoon of life, when its sum-
if not high, is still warm, have bought few
acres of land in the broad still country and bearing
thither my household treasures have resolved to steal
from the ctys labors and anxietes at least day
in each week, wherein to revive, as a farmer, the
memories of my childhood's humble home
And already realize that the experiment cannot
cost so much as it is worth. Already find in that
days quiet antidote and solace for the fcyersh,
fostering of the week which environ it. Area
DIV my brook murmurs soothing song to my
burning throbbing brain and my trees gently stirr-
ed by the fresh breezes whisper to my spirit some
thing of their quiet strength and patient trust
in God. And thus do family realize, but for brief
and fitting day. the joy which shall irTadiate
the farmers VOCATION when fuller and truer educa-
ton shall have refined and chastened his animal crav
ings and when science shall have endowed him with
her treasures redeeming labor from drudgery while
quadrupling its efficiency and browning with beauty
and plenty our bounteous, benefcent earth"
