NEW ENGLAND.

The victorious day is past the freemen's votes ar'
cast
All hail TO that memorable day,
Its glorious light dlspelled the night,
And to future glory leads the way.
New England States firm and tried, In freedoms
cause stand side by side,
She was our guiding star.
Her faith was strong. she waited long,
But saw her victory from afr.
Her unwaverng hand Ia. saved our land
From slavery's withering blight,
Our Western plains she freed from chains,
Twas our New England won the asht.
New England firm for liberty thou didst our eoun'
try free,
Thy people fought on land and main,
Our country was with danger frausht; thy people
now have fought
Froedoms battle DER again.
Alone New England does not stand the North
takes her by the hand,
Together they've met the common foe,
In one united band, no power could the shock with
stand,
They've dealt 4 strong and deadly blow.
From age to age will stand on hlstory's page
Tho date Of freedoms battle won,
And joyous praise to heaven wen raise
That a, our helm stands brave LINCOLN.

and fragrant meadows, and his first football
out of doors is upon the matted grass be-
meath the sha1owy trees Of his rural home,
He drinks in health from every breeze, and
all the scenes around him call forth that pay
fulness which performs 50 important an oihce
in our carly training.
So this leads us to speak of the influence
Of farm life upon the home virtues. No 90
cupaton can DO moro favorable to the culti'
vation of those qualities which arc the charm
OF the domestic circle. The farmer is muci'
more at home than is possible with any Other
man. How many are there in our cities who
only sec their families ut evening, or on Sum
day? They live for their business, and the
from its location, takes them from home early
and late. How many, from the same cause,
iOrsakc housekeeping and huddle into board
ing houses and hotels, where the charm alit
beauty of the family, ms God instituted it, q
entirely lost; and the children fall under the
influences that would never touch them ut
home! With the best arrangements wealth
could command in tho city, it Is well nigh
impossible to keep children under the in
fluence ot their parents, 80 that they may
have distinct family character, and bear
tho moral, as they do the physical image
of their progenitors. Parental influence is
dissipatcd amid the varied social influences
to which they arc subjected from their earliest
days. Thon what pcrplexitics harrass the
man Of business in the city-his capital often
invested in proiitless enterprises, exposed to
the deprcdations Of dishonest men, betrayed,
cheated and ruined by knavcs and bankruptts.
From the very character of his business he
has TO trust fur more of his available means
to the integrity Of his fellows than the culti-
vator. His debts are often scattered over
wide extent of territory, and collections are
not only expensive, but exceedingly uncer-
tain. But his commercial credit depends
upon this uncertainty, and hc is often COM
PEELED to fall back upon nothing, aruinedman.

FARM LlrE School TOR TRuE MANHOOD
The men who have left their mark upon the
ages in which they have lived, have done a
great and noble work for the race;have been,
with few exceptions, men Of noble physical
mould. The foundation Of their greatness
and Of their fame, was laid in the patient
training of their physical powers. Such q
man was Washington, and most Of the wor.
tbies who were associated with him in the
struggles for our liberties. Such were Clay
and " cbster and many ofour contemporaries
In our national Senate. Their early day,
were spent upona farm, and the thoughts o.
their declining years weregiven to the i'm
provemcnt, and the cultivation, and the EN-
bellishment OF their respective homesteads
Ashland and Marshfeld will long be scene'
OF pilgrimage to the husbandman as well n
the patriot.
The whole tendency Of farm lifc Is TO de
