There are many young men in the country who de.
sire to become Spectators and merchants, rather than
honorable. to be wei! dressed citizens, than mere coun-
trymen. To accomplish their purpose, they refuse to
work, and adopt every available means to induce tae'1
parents to send them to the city, to procure SITUATIONS
in a store. We say to them as the advice OF forty years
observation, stay at home, and stick to the farm.
For the last quarter of a century, farming has been
the best business followed. Every man IN tha' 'ne
has grown rich. Crops have been good and prices h'gh.
Wheat has ranged from one dollar and a half to three
dollars per bus6el, aud butter from twenty-five to nifty
cents per pound. And while the citizen has been pay
time be has been playing sce.saw upon the ups end
downs of a half dozen panics. He has been almost con:
stantly in hot water through the successive financial
troubies that have leeu treading on each others heels.
} Stav At h, me. we saw again, and he q farmer. Not
more than one in two hundred, who start as merchants
clerks, ever come to aAauence. Whereas every farmer
is independent, when be starts, happy as he progresses,
and oppulent at last. Stay at home. National Mer-
chant.

checked a panic on a bank of which he was director by
making the cashier roast the gold that was given in ex-
change for notes. 1he poor Pats thought that they
