Tl,a asarpsaer.

What a sovereign man is.the intelligent,
industrious farmer. Within his own realm
ofearth, he wields sceptre to which all
must bend The balance of the world S
life and comfort he holds in his stalwart
hand. Neither courts nor fleets can exist
without his aid. He is the feeder-aye,
and the garmenter, virtually---of the race.
Cities spring from the traffic in the pro-
ducts of his industry. Commerce is born
at his behest. Of the State he is the first
estate Lord of the land, no man has q
lirmer hole of the essenlialtitle of nobility
Aud he-need be no plodder because he is
a farmer. The dayis past when the soil
tiller was confounded with the cold turn,
by his plow. The soil is his survitor,
he smiies It, and 10! tho harvest comes
forth. The hoe and the sickle make him
music braver than dulcimers, and sound the
march ola triumph, grand as it is peaceful
ard blessed,
But he is not forever in tho furrow.-
For him are broadest fields Of study--fair-
est fields OF delight For him are honors
linked to beauties and wisdom; for him,
periods of communons and raptures, oil
which the birds. the flowers, the streams.
the stars. and all wonderous things Of the
universe may bear witness. a brave man
art thou, wielder Of the mallet and the
plane; and thou, deviser of all machines
whereby the labor Of mans hand is speeded
or abridged. But ye are all second to the
farmer. He is master of the most needful
Of tolls, and the most seaviceable products
He can live without you, but you cannot
Sexist for day without him. Honor to
the farmer; may his sphere widen and his
position be exalted. And honor. to al
honast toll for of such are the fruits thai
kDA e browning glories of the world.
