THE YOUNG FARMERS CHOICE.

/ take it for granted that you are farmer
out of choice, and that you prefer this pro-
fession, for good reasons. am sorry,for a
man who is tied down to business in
which he finds no particular satisfaction.
He must have q g" hard row to hoe" to say
nothing about improvement, and success.
These are out of the question. If you are
farmer merely because that is the only
business you know of in which you can get
q living, you will lack that zeal necessary
to the highest success. No man never at
tanned ensiaence in his profession who did
not love it with little spice Of enthusiasm.
If you do not like farming, therefore, do
something else Some have supposed that
those young men who are not sharp enough
for the learned professions, as they are
called, or for merchants may do well
enough for farmers. Now | hope it is too
late in the day for such doctrines. 1t be-
gins to be understood tina: our business calls
for all those good and sound qualities of
mind, which are necessary to success in any
other calling, and indeed greater diversity
oftaents is called into action, and greater
scope is given for the exercise of them, than
any where else in common life. So we
might with great propriety say ola boy who
has not intellect and force enough for farm
ing, let him learn trade or study law.
If you have proper taste for your calling,
and are willing to qualify yourself for it,
your first aim should be to arrive at the high
est place in your profession. The celebra-
ted Dr.. Wright, in his farewell address to
the young men of class about to graduate,
says, "whatever shall be your profession,
let it be your first aim to gain the summit of
it." To make this aim effective, it is neces-
sary of course to have 4 just estimate Of
the excellence of the profession.
The superiority of the farmers vocation
has been so often the theme of agricultural
addresses, and essays, that it has become
trite. have not a word to say now about
the antiquity Of our business, or its poetic
pleasures. A plain matter-of-fact business,
it is worthy of the highest efforts of good
mind. What is worth doing at all, is gen.
orally woth doing in the best way. A great
majority of young farmers must have re-
gard to the profit Of their business as sure
means of independent support. very few
in this country are in circumstances to en-
gage in agricultural pursuits merely as
amateurs; the profits must be looked to by
most, and might incidentally add, that it
gives zest to all pleasures of labor, to feel
that it contributes to the livelihood of our
selves and our families.
The profits and the pleasures, and every
thing that moved you to choose this as your
profession, should incite you to gain all that
knowledge and skill which are necessary,
and put forth all those efforts which will
give you the highest Remember that
the art of farming is rapidly improving, and
it requires no small degree of study and
earnestness to make the advances which you
are called to do.

FEMALE PIETI.-I'he gem of all others
which most enriches the coronet of the lady's
character is unaffected picty. Nature may
lavish on her person, the enchantnlent Of her
mein, or the strength of her intellect, yet her
pety throws around the sweetness and tue
power of its charms. She then becomes
unearthly in her temper, unearthly in her
desires and associations. The spell which
which bound her affections for things below
is broken, and she mounts on silent wings of
hope and fancy, to the habitaton of God,
where it is her delight to hold communion
with spirits that have been ransomed from
the thraldom of earth, and wreathcd with a
garland of glory.
Her beauty may throw its magical charms
over many; princes and conquerors may bow
with admiration at the shrine of her riches;
the sons of science and poetry may embalm
her memory in history and song; yet picty
must be her ornament, her pearl.
With such a treasure, every lofty gratif-
cation on earth may be purchased: friend
ship will be doubly sweet; pain and sorrow
will lose their sting, and the charter will pos
sess price above rubies. Life will be but
a pleasant visit to earth, and death an en-
trance upon a joyful and perpetual home
Such is piety. Like tender flower,
planted in the fertile soil of a woman's heart,
itgrows, expanding its foliage and inpartng
its fragrance around, till transplanted, it is
set to bloom in perpetual vigor and uniading
beauty in the paradise of God.

HOW TO MAKE BACON PLENTY.

The present high prices of meat should
cause the Planters of the South to reflect,
and see if they cannot devise some plan to
remedy the evil. know planter whose
cotton crop amounted to $4,000, and he
pays this year from five to six hundred dol
lars for meat; and have no doubt that
thousands of others do the same. in proper.
ton to the amount of their crops. Now,
gentlemen, propose the following remedy:
In the first place every planter should
raise sufficient quantity of corn, and never
be under the necessity of buying; then, if
possible, enclose enough land to keep his
hogs in, and not permit them to run at large,
to become wild or be killed up by his neigh.
boris negroes In the next place, make
boiler as follows: get two planks, each ten
feet long, two and a half feet wide, and
two inches thick: then make the bottom
and ends of sheet iron, by mailing it on
planks: sci this boiler on rows Of bricks,
about one foot high from the ground, with
chimney for fue. This boiler can be
heated with a very small quantity of wood.
Into this boiler put your corn, cotton seed,
pumkins, peas, cabbage leaves, turnips, po-
tatoes, kitchen slop, and every thing that a
hog will eat, and boil them together, every
day, occasionally throwing in little salt
and ashes, and have several troughs close
by the boiler, and feed your hogs every
night with this food--and my word for it,
we shall soon be exporters, instead Of iul-
porters, of bacon and pork.
The same quantity of food given to hogs
cooked as above will raise and keep fat
three times as many as when given to them
in the ordinary raw state. All this can be
done by boy ten years old, who by attend
ing to your hogs in this way, will make you
more money than two Of your best field
hands can in the cotton field. Try this for
two years, and if you do not succeed. come
to ME and | will pay all your losses incurred
in the experiment.

TIE CHEERFUL HEARr-lt is not es-
sential to the happy home that there should
be the luxury of the carpeted floor, the
cushioned sofa, the soft shade of the astral

home that sweet paradise it is so often

heartfelt, by the cottage fireside, as in the
most splendid saloons of wealth and refine

TIC GET RID OF MoLEs.-A writer in
the Southern Cultvator offers the following
mode to get rid of molcs:
"To Kill moles, which some Of your sub
scribers complain of, boil a handful Of
corn into homony; then stew with it a
spoonful Of sugar with few grains Of
strychine /; let it dry, and drop grain or
two in their holes. They will never see
daylight again. Patient me for this recipe,
will you unless you can show au earlier
invention, or one better.
We think, says the Germantown Tele.
graph, however, to cut beef in thin strips
resembling an earth worm, and prepare it
as above, it will be much more efficacious,
as it is well known that the mole is carnive.
