MORALITY AND AGRICULTURAL. II
George William Curtis delivered an
address at Greenfield Mass, the other
day. We quote the following:
:. The, necessities and fatigues of q
work that can be done only By daylight
Acall the farmer with the sun in summer,
sand morning Star in winter send
1liiniseafly to bed to teach him regnlari-
~. Then as by his ceaseiesss toll he
counts out in. blows of his arms and
1odrops of his sweat, every hundred cents
caih every Sdollaf he esearhs-eyery penny
stands for SO much, time and muscle,
,,z1and thus he learns economy. With
economy come frugality and temper
hahce, and so upon the farm grow the
hardy virtues like tough trees upon the
mountain side, and SO the ideal farmer
;sisaa strong,oI robust, simple, sensible,
truly conservative citizen, and as the
:bspectator sees him stand crowded with
-l9yccontent in the midst of his rural realm,
he asks as the poor clergyman asked his
richer brother as they walked through

litter of horses, even if fully fed, but
sIhorses won'toes what cattle leave, aun-
LESS compelled to do SO. But horses and
sheep will do well in some pastures, es-
peciallY the horses. To prove, this, let
,sthe farmer tnrn out the sheep from their
yard and turn in hisE horses. and they
