and SO long as our nature is human, and no
like the nature Of the OK OR the ass, so long
will the son and the daughter of the farmer
tired of the monotony of the cheerless prison,
look for enjoyment, activity, life, amid the
hurry, the excitements, the dangers OF the
crowded street. Experience teaches that
their chances of useful life and remunera
ting labor is vastly diminished. But from
my heart, forgive them. Their excuse Is
the cry of nature, "auything but stagnatlon.'
For the honor of an employment whose
ranks outnumber all others, the noblest OF
all professions, because it is the oldest-the
most manly of all occupations, because the
most independent let us give to all its chill

refinement they earn so nobly, and value SO
highly lr the name Of Farming, in the
name of 'thc Grand Patron Of Farming" let
us wipe out this disgrace.
Intimately connected with what have al
ready said, is the next suggestion. Be cSh-
tented with good living and be not eager to
become rich If your income is satfelent, do
not deprive yourself Of q sing lie comfort that
YOU want, and think vou have earned, for
the mere purpose Of being rich The accu-
mutation of wealth is slow and laboriouos
process do not mean to say that wealth
cannst be required suddenly. lfman aban-
dons honesty, throttles his conscience, vio-
latcs his faith, and then fails to increase bis
gains, he is a fool. Bus gam, got by such
methods cost too much.
In his rurplc and velvet, the simple may
envy him, as he dashes by, but he shall wilt

and simple faith; and God shall scorn him
Reckless adventurcrs, because they are
reckless, and lack foresight.i may fall upon
sudden fortune. Their timerity alone will
sometimes enable them to escape the hidden
rocks, which the prudent avoid by caution
Outstripping these they NAY be borne on by
some fortunate current, but only to parish in
the rapids.
The beaten path is the safe one. The
way to wealth is slow and tedious. The
philosophy is simple. TO employ capital
with profit to the posscssor, he must have
the ability to use it. Judgement and fore
sight are required to anticipate the chances
of loss and open the avenues Of gain. These
can only be acquired by experience and
practice. He marks every movement with
care, and notes the increase. He knows ev-
cry dollar by sight; where and hew it work
ed, and what it did. Every new dollar ad-
ded to his gains is u new workman to be
proGtably employed. Not in trickery-not
in iraud-but in faithful, honest work. AS
they Increase in number, he grows in power;
he grows with them. He looks as new and
safe places for investment acquires new hab-
its of business and becomes busy, thriving
man. AS they increase, he increases; none
of them are strangers to his careinl and
watchful eye. He is a good employer and
they are faithful industrious workmen.
The man who commenced with few dol

italist; capable Of controlling with profit to
| himself, and service to thousands, his untold
millions all governed with the greatest pre-
cision by his single will ...

five understand this simple philosophy,
we shall not be anxious to get wealth, with
out the power it implies, for sudden wealth
is sure rain. A man wLo can use S 500
proitably, if you increase it suddenly will
swamp with $4,000. Let him grow from
$500 to S50Oo and he is sufficient. Give
him $50, 500, and you will ruin him. The
process is simple and natural. The sudden
transition is violent and destructive. By
this easy method you can account for thc
bankruptcy of hundreds. Make no such
wishes then, barber no foolish hopes. Do
not want to become lich before you begin to
live. Substantial riches will come, slowly to
be sure, but it will grow if you are industri
Gus and prudent. Not because you are bent
on being rich, but because industry and pru
