Z" Let idle Ambition her haubles pursue,
While Wisdom looks down with disdain,
The hnme Of the farmer has charms ever new,
Where health peace and competence reign"

CrfF our readers think that there is a
falling of in the editorial Of this department,
in the present issue, we beg their indulgence
while we state few reasons for the def.
cheney.
In the first place, we are very buisy-at-
tending to our farming operations. We are
fencing, clearing up, repairing tools, fixing
gear, and doing every thing in our power to
make a crop to suit the hard times. Break.
ing land, gardening, and host of other
things might be add,d.
Another reason is, that we have been
nearly dunned TO death ;--and as we think
our brother.farmers are pretty much in the
same fix, we know, from experience, that
they are almost afraid to read newspaper,
for fear of stumbling Oh a dun or notice
"to pay up." This CRATES harshly upon an
empty pocket and in order to soothe and
comfort them as much as possible, we are
somewhat disposed to give them short re-
spite. The last reason we give, is an inie-
renee drawn from the old acage, " Touch a
mans money and you touch his heart" As
We have no money, of course we have no
heart to write.
