The sweet south wind, so long
Sleeping in other clirnos on sunny seas,
Or dallyng with the orange trees
In the bright land OF song,
Wakes unto us and laughingly sweeps oy'
Like glad spirit Of the sunlit sky.
The laborer at his toll ,,,o.
Fools on his check its dewy kiss and liits
His open brow to catch its fragrant slIts-
The aromatic soil
Borne from the blooming gardens oil the south,
While It's faint sweetness fingers round his mouth.
The bursting buds look up
To cheer the sunlight, while 1t fingers yet
On the warm hill-side-and the violet
Opens its azure cup,
Meekly, and countless wild flowers wake to fling
Their earliest incense on the gales of Spring.
The reptile, that hath lain
Torpid so long within his wintry tomb,
Pierces the mould, ascending from its gloom
Up to the light again
And the 1.-the snake craws forth from caverns chill
To bask as erst upon the sunny hill
Continual songs arise
From universal Natare-bir6s and streams
Mingle their voices, and the glad earth seems
A second Paradise;
Sunshine and song, and frugrance-all are thine,
Thrice blessed Sprng-thou Dearest gifts divine.
Nor unto Earth alone
Thou hast blessing for the human heart,
Balm for its wound and healing for its smart,
Telling Of Winter flown,
And bringing hope thy rainbow wing,
Type of eternal life-thrice blessed Spring.

above that wrote my friend, asking what ad-
vice he could give, tending to the ensuring of
my success on prairie farm in this state, of
100 acres, surprising | could command about
$4,000 as capital to commence on. Divers ar
ticles in your paper, and others, represent the
advantages of farm life and labor as general
thing, over other pursuits and with decided
procivity to farm pursuits have looked 20 the
contingency of cultivating my acres, (already
my own possession,) and enjoying all that a
country home offers. | am aware OF the toll
necessary-and yet | suppose it to be a matter
of digence-of watchfu attention rather than
of exhausting labor; but | was astounded at
the aspect thus above set before me. Now,
Messrs. Editors, will you be kind enough to
give, in your paper, CRITlQUE Of the above,
and let me, and others who may be signing for
a farm life, know in plain language what the
HOPES of any man with a farm of 100 acres
paid for, and $4,000 capital to commence ope-
rations, may he, and what the rock upon which
he may split Prairie lands are productive
Here is the grandes, wheat region in the world.
No forests to hew down, nothing but to enclose
and pillow, and the application of judgment and
diligence.
| would rather pay you or JOHN JOHNSON
of caution, than TO rush into a calling tending
to subject myself or my family to slavish labor
or unhappiness and suffering.
If agriculture is desirable to man of middle
age, of good education, (scienti6c) and who has
for years labored to post himself in all the
theory of farming, who has endeavored to car
ry on the economy of gardening for some years
as the school of the farm--I say, if farming is
desirable occupation wish to know it beyond
a peradventure; and if it is accompanied with
great hazards, | wish also to be guarded on
that side before take the step.

OPPORTUNITIES AND DRAWBACKS OF FARM
LIFE.


BRATTLEBoRo, W., Feb. 10, 1861.
MEssRs. l.. TUCKER & SoY-I have your ia
vor of the 9Th inst, inclosing the correspond.
ence of your friend "E" You request my
views on the matters suggested in that cores
pondence; and am happy to respond at once,
only regretting that | have not leisure at this
time to give you more than a hasty reply.
Some of the observations of "E.'s" Wiscon-
sin friend quite surprise me. Having no per-
sonal knowledge Of the agriculture of that
State, | cannot say whether or no his remarks
are correct as applied to farming there; but
they would be incorrect if applied to New Eng
land. The man whose ambition and aim it is
to acquire great wealth or support an expensive
and SNOWY style of living, will not be able to
attain those ends by larmingi but he who has
a taste for and is content with a rural life, with
those moderate but certain gains which with or
binary frugality enable one to live quite gener-
ously and independently, and with that happy
combination OF business and surrounding in
fluences of nature and of home in the country
which so fayorably conspire to give family of
children about the best early training in every
respect they could have to prepare them for en-
tering upon the duties and scenes of later life,
may usually realize these ends in the pursuit of
agriculture. A man owning 100 acres of land
OF fair average quality and location in New
England, together with cash capital of 80, 900
to operate with, could hardly fail of doing well
at farming, If he had industrious habits, taste
for agriculture, and good judgment to guide
him. lie need not nect ssarily lead "slavish"
life, toll "from early dawn to dewy eve," nor
"make labor his early pleasure, and slee p his
only recreation" On the contrary he would,
generally speaking, be less subject to harrassing
tolls and care, and run less risk of losing the
reward of labor than men who follow the trades
and professions.
Numerous instances might be named, for New
