The President and the WOrking-Men.

A Committee on behalf of the New York
Workingmen's Democratic Republican, Asso-
citation the other day waited on the President
to inform him that their Association had
elected him an honorary member. The OBJ
iect of the organization is to advance the
workingmen of America in morals, position
and loyalty; it binds them together in sup
port of the Union, and induces them at all
sacrifices to sustain it. They requested Mr..
Lincoln TO give his views on the subject mat
ter of which their address treated.
The President, in reply, said the honorary
membership so generously rendered was as
gratefully accepted. They comprehended
that the existing Rebellion meant more and
tended to more than the perpetuation of At
rican Slavery; that it was in fact a war upon
the rights of working people. Partly to show
that the view had not escaped his attention,
and partly because he could not better ex-
press himself, he read a passage from his
Message to Congress of December, 1861, and
he then concluded as follows:
0The most notable feature of the disturbance
in your city last summer was the hanging of
some working people by other working peo-
pie. It should never be so. The strongest
bonds of human sympathy outside ofthe fam
ily relation should be one uniting all working
people of all nations, tongues, and Hndreds;
nor should this lead to war on property or
owners of property.
Properly is the ruit oflabor. Property is
desirable--is positive good in this world.
That some should be rich shows that others
may become rich, and hence is just eneour-
agement to industry and enterprise. Let not
him who is houseless pull down the house of
another, but, let him labor diligently and
build one for himself, thus by example assu-
ring that his own shall be safe from violence
when built.n r.vg
At the conclusion OF the Presidents re-
marks, he handed copy of his speech to Mr..
Still, the Chairman, who, upon receiving 1t,
said:
son behalf of the Committee, Mr.. Presi-
dent, | thank you, and viii only add, that
it Is the general desire of the working men
of the United States, that the next President
of the United States shall be from Spring
field, Illinois, and that his name be Abraham
Lincoln"
To which the President :. answered: u
am very much obliged to you gentlemen

How CAN FARMING BE MADE MORE ATTRAeT-
I'VE ?-1. By less hard work. Farmers often
undertake more than they can do well, and
consequently work to early and lste.5 .sTsi
2. BY more system. The farmers should
have a time to begin, and stop labor. They
should put more mind and machinery into
their work. They should theorize as well as
practice, and let them both go together.
Farming is healthy, moral and respectable.
The farmers should keep good stock and out
of debt The farm is the best place to begin
and end life, and hence so many in the cities
and professional life covet a rural home.
3. By taking care of health. Farmers have
a healthy variety of exercise, but too often
neglect cleanliness, omit bathing, eat irregu-
larly and hurriedly, sleep in i'll ventilated APP
artments, and expose themselves to cold.
Nine tenths of the human diseases arise from
colds or intemperance. Frequent bathing Is
profitable, so is fresh air, deliberation at the
dinner table and rest after a meal.
4. BY adjoining the home. Nothing is lost
by pleasant home. Books, papers, pictures,
music and reading should all be brought to
bear upon the indoor family entertainment;
and neatness, comfort, order, shrubbery, flow
ers and fruits should harmonic all without.
Home should be a sanctuary so happy and
holy that children will love it, woman delight
in it. There would be less assertions of old
homesteads if pains we're taken to make them
agreeable. Ease, order, health and beauty
are compatible with farm life and we're or
dained to 60 whit.
