THE HAPPY FARMER.
BY MRS. l., II. sIGoURNEr.

Saw ye the farmer at his plough,
As you were riding by ?
Or, weared meath lis MONDAY toll,
When summer suns were high?
And thought we that his lot was hard ?
And did you not thank God,
That you and yours were not condemneI
Thus like a slave to plod'
Come, see him at his home,
When garden, field and tree,
Conspire, with flowing stores. to Gil
His. barn and granary.
His healthy children gaily sport
Amid the new mown hay;
Or proudly aid, with vigorous arm,
His task as best they may.
The dog partakes his masters joy,
And guards the lonely vain;
The feathery people clap their wings,
And lead their youngllng train.
Perchance the hoary grandsire's eyes
The glowing scene surveys,
And breathes blessing on his race,
Or guides the evening praise.
The harvest giver is their frend,--
The maker of the soil
The earth, the mother, gives them bread
And cheers their patient toll.
Come, join them round the wintry hearth
Their heartfelt pleasures see,
And you can better Judge how blest
The farmers life may be.

have been with party making
extensive explorations. There were
twelve Of us well provided with good
pack mules, and provisions for four
weeks. We started from Independ-
ence due west TO the Kansas river,
then followed that stream TO its de-
bouchment in the Missouri river,
thence northward near the river,
turning up each tributary about
twenty miles, until we arrived at the
State Of Nebraska, up which we trav-
elled TO Grand Island and Fort
Kearney. Having plenty of time
and our animals being in good con-
dition, Qor we had excellent grass
all the way we rode out on the en-
igrant road, far into the Buffalo
country, and had a glorious time
hunting them.
That chimney-rock "took IN,
down." 1t is, certainly, a mos
astonishing curiosity. | though
we would never get TO it, after W,
caught sight Of it. But what mis-
cradle country that is, agricultural,
considered; after you leave For
Kearney, nothing, absolutely nothin.
but barren, desert plains. All tn
fertile region is found within a hun
dred miles Of the Missouri, excep
along the narrow "bottoms OF III
streams.
The great scarcity Of timber vii
keep great deal Of good land from
being settled for century at least.
On the Kansas we found SOM
beautiful spots, and fearing we coul'
do no better we "blazed out ="
large claim for our phote settlemen
together. But am afraid we ma
haye trouble TO keep it, there are S
many rushing in from Missouri
They are fairly swarming, and zeal
culate certain" to have slavery il
kansas, and your Emigration Com
pany will have TO look sharp if the
don't triumph. The best land in thi
region is in Kansas, though we foun'
some splendid places in Nebraska.
We "blazed out" another CLAIM
nelr the south of the Nimeha, and
as soon as possible, we are going t
divide the company, and protect eacl
claim, until the proper time of tax
ing possession of either one or tn
other, perhaps both, if any of on
friends join us. From what | hav
seen / am confident that there ar
now scattered along this line not les
than thirty thousand emigrants, som,
say fifty usand, but | doubt it.

WHERE Is JeHN TYLERi-The
Elk President, it seems, has turned
Farmer. We are glad to learn that
he makes better farmer than he did
President. A traveller thus notices
the Elk President:
We called upon the late Presi-
dent, Mr.. Tyler, residing on the
north side of the James River, about
thirty miles below Richmond Virgin
ia. To say he is good cultivator
would be small praise. He informs
US that when he moved on this farm,
three years since, field OF wheat OF
two hundred acres, which he showed
US, would not produce more than the
seed, but is now waving with crop
of twenty bushels to the acre. The
dressing he applied TO his land was
shell mari, together with straw and
other manure made on the farm.
The mari abounds in sufficient guam
titles to last for many years. Ten or
fifteen miles above the ex-Presldents,
on the same side of the river, is the
family seat of the lamented Harrison,
also in state Of cultivation, and
perhaps one of the most eligible sit
nations OH the James River. From
Mr.. Tyler's we proceeded to the
estate of Robert B. Boiling, Esq, at
distance of ten miles. We there
found farming conducted on gi-
gantic scale, such as had not entered
our Imagination. He went with US
through his fields of wheat, which
contained nine hundred acres =
The prospect for crop was very
fine, and we suppose he would have
thirty bushels TO the acre. He next
showed US his grass field, which con-
tanned one thousand acres. Owing
TO the drought, il was not as good as
expected, but we thought as good as
any of ours. His corn, which looked
well though small, in consequence Of
the cold amounted to near seven hun
dred acres. The oats, owing to the
drought were backward. The num-
Der of acres in oats, | think he said,
was three hundred. The entire
plantation contained seuen thousand
acres Of land The timber consist
ing Of white and black oak, and pine,
is very large except the second
growth. He uses lime from the
North River, which costs him six
cents per bushel, together with straw,
which he spreads over his land in the
fall and winier-ploughs under and
then dresses with lime. This mode
has brought his land TO high state
Of cultivation. His land, few
years back, was very poor"

cultu,ist, neatly stitched in a paste
board cover to await binding at the
close of the year. The Tribune,
the laboring mans friend, and the
newspaper of the county, are regular
visitors. There are juvenile papers
for the children. The Little Pilgrim
has found his way into that neat and
tiny kitchen, and he meets a warm
welcome.
Those boys look as though they
would make men-true men-with
character that will be respected
and honored. Their brown faces are
rudy with the glow of health, their
eyes beam with intelligence, and they
are ready either for frolic or work.
How unusually neat all those assem-
bled around that inviting breakfast
table appear. The men are requlr-
ed TO be particular. There is
scraper at the door, and mat, bolt
Ol WHICH uIt W Dt usc6. Al bicOh
hangs near by, with which they brusl
off the dust which has accumulated
in their labor. The men, when frs
employed, consider all this scrapinl
and brushing unnecessary, but the,
feel obliged TO follow Mr.. Brown
example and instructions, and fin'
their self-respect SO increased b.
their neatness, that they soon do vol
unfairly what they commenced re
luctantly, and if they accidentally
soil the clean floor, they offer an a
pology.
The breakfast has been 6nshe
with the greatest satisfaction, and tn
men go forth to the toll of the day
The women roll up their sleeves, pr
on their big aprons, and prepare 10
their appropriate duties.

From the American Agricnl,urs,.
A Morning Peep into Farmer
Browns Kitchen.

There are no class of men more
independent than farmers. Their
comforts are less affected than others
by changes in the market. A reduc-
ton in prices may deprive them Of
some qualifications, but it does not
diminish their supply of wholesome
food, or deprive them of fuel, A
rise in the market brings money into
their pockets, and man who can
sell load of potatoes for $50, as
one has recently done at Rochester,
may well say that "after all, farming
is a pretty good business. 1t is
business, however, which in the sea-
son of labor admits of no idleness.--
So soon as frost disappears, all is
busy industry. The farmers wife
and daughters are obliged TO be dill
gent 10 have the house in order-lhe
paint cleaned, the carpet shaken, the
walls white washed, and the smoke
and dust Of winter removed, 10 give
time for butter making, cheese max
ing, &c.
What a hustle in farmer Browns
home-like kitchen. Breakfast for a
half dozen men 10 be cooked---and a
substantial one too-tor II is to keep
up the supply of bone and muscle
which is to fill the barns with plenty,
the granary with lis rich treasures OF
wheat, rye aud oats, and the golden
corn, that will display its attractions
in the great crib, and court through
the wide crevice, the caresses of the
wind.
With what satisfaction that rasher
of bacon, SO finely cured IN early
winter, is welcomed by the palates Of
those robust men. Those fried eggs
are fine that hot corn bread is de-
licious. How dry and mcaly those
potatoes they must be MERGERS. -
The rye bread and the wheat could
not be improved the butter is yell
low and sweet, and tastes Of the
fresh green grass the coffee is clear;
the cream rich, and there is scalded
milk for those who like it, to use with
their cream. How tempting it looks,
1t would almost entice a Grahamite
TO break his resolutions, and Just
drink u little to see how il tastes.
She who has presided over this
breakfast, is certainly a good house
keeper, or everything would not be
so perfectly cooked, and so nicely
I arranged on the snowy cloth which
covers the table. The whole room
has an air Of comfort and thrift
The ceiling, TO be sure, is low, and
every thing is plain, but there are
book shelves between two of those
windows, well filled with different
agricultural works, and they give
evidence OF having been thoroughly
read. There is one shelf, ! see, for
the ladies-Miss Beecher's Domestic
Economy and her Recipe Book, The
J Mysteries of Bookkeeping, and sever
al other volumes on those indepen-
dent little folks may be found on it.
Books Of general literature are in
the parlor, which has quite a little
library for the leisure hours Of the
family in the long winter evenings,
when they gather around that center
table, from which vase Of wild-Aow-
ers now sends lis perfume through
cut the shaded room.
There are newspapers on that
small table ia the cornor. | recog-
nize the recent numbers Of the Agri-
