Pleasures OF Farmer Life.

Horace Greeley concludes recent
agricultural address in the following
beautiful style:
Gas for me, long-tosscd on the
stormicst waves of doubtful conflict
and arduous endeavor, | have begun
to feel, since the shades of forty years
fell upon me, the weary, tempest driv.
en- voyagcr's longing for land, the
wanderers yearning for the hamlet
where in childhood lie rested byhis moth
cr's knee, and was soothed to sleep on
on her breast. The sober down hill OF
life dispcls many Illusions, while it
developcs or strengthens within us the
attachment, perhaps long-smothcrcd
or overlaid, for that deaf hut, our
home" And so |, in the sober after.
noon Of life, when its sun, if not high,
is still warm, have bought me a few
acres Of land in the broad, still coun
try, and, bearing thither my household
treasures, have resolved to steal from
the city's labors and anxietics at least
one day in each week, wherein to re-
vive, as farmer, the memories Of my
childhood's humble home.
And already realize that the ex.
pertinent cannot cost so much as it is
worth. Already find in that days
quiet an antidote and a solace for the
fevcrish, fostering cares of the weeks
which environ. Already my brook
murmurs a soothing even song to my
burning, throbbing brain, and my
trees. gently stirred by the fresh
breezcs, whisper to my spirit some
thing Of their own quiet strength and
patient trust in God. And thus do ]
family realize, but for brict and fit
tering day, the serene joy which shall
irradiate the farmers vocation, whc,
a fuller and trucr education shall have
refined and chastened his animal GRAY.

For PICKING EGGs.-If the follow.
ing pickle was generally known it
would be more generally used. 1t is
an excellent pickle to be eaten with
cold meat, &c. -
The eggs should be boiled hard,
say ten minutes, and divestcd of their
shells. when quite cold put them in
jars, and pour over them vinegar
sufficient to quite cover them-in which
has been boiled the usual spices for
picking, tie the jars down tight with
bladder, and keep them until they be-
gin to change color.

WILLIAM CHAMBERS VIEW OF TIE
UNITED STATES The venerable Ed.

CHAMBERS, Esq, who has recently
made brief tour in the Northern and
Eastern states, has, on the eve of his
return to Europe, published letter
in which he says =

Little Susy opened the door, and

A PALPABLE HIT.-Out West, a
stump orator, wishing to describe his
opponent as a soulless man said -" |
have heard some persons hold to the
opinion that just at the precise moment
one human being dies, another is born,
and that the soul enters and animates
the newborn babe, Now, | have
made particular and extensive inquiries
concerning my opponent there, and l
find that for some time previous to his
nativity nobody died. Fellowcitizcns
you may draw the inference.

BIRDs.-Tbc shooting of small birds
has become besetting sin in many
parts Of our country.-lhcir value as
food is not sufficiently great to excuse
either the inhumanity or imrropricty
of the practice Birds are destroyers
of insects, and to their destruction is
to be attributed the inordinate influx of
insects within the last few years. The
Legislatures Of New Jersey, and of
many other States, have passed cfiec-
tive laws on the subject, and we hope
that farmers will not be scrupulous in
using the protection furnished them by
law.-To see a full grown man patroling
the country, treading down crops,
wasting his time and shooting small
birds, each one of which is of ten times
his usefulness to the body polite, is toe
see a selfish fool who values his own
amusement higher than he does the
well being Of society. Such fellow
should be feathercd, and this coating
underlaid with tar Working Farmer

Lines on the Death Of ]. Wallace Francis.

A lImp is claimed in courts above;
soul from earth is iivenr,
Torn from the grasp Of earthly love,
1t swectly rests in Heaven.
A cherished flower has closed its leaves,
No more on earth to bloom,
Death ever gathers up its sheaves,
To fill the darkcncd tomb.
Thy life was like a violet sweet,
That blooms mid opening day
Ere summer comes its form to greet,
The violet fades away.
Though fragile was that lovely flower,
Its leaves with sunshine glowcd,
Thus in thy heart mid earthly bowers,
\ stream of gladncss flowed.
Though oft its chords were rulely swept
BY sorrows hand of night
Still in its depths there ever slept
The flower of sunshine bright.
To guide thy soul through golden gates,
An Angel Mother came;
In Heavens courts thy sister waits,
a brothers love Ia claim.
No thorns were wovc amid the wreath,
Those loved ones twincd for thee;
From shades and clouds and earthly grief
