Why Farmers Should b
ThoFoughly: Organized.

The following we extract from
q very able address delivered be-
fore the Minnesota Agricultural
Society, at the State Fair, Sep. SO,
1869, by Col. D. A. Roberts, Of St.
Paul, Minnesota:
With the1exeeption Of husband
~, every noney-msking interest,
ia this our age Of money,is thor
oughly organized, and ever ready
for aggressive or defensive action,
ss the occasion may require,
whether in Legislative hslls,e in
boards Of direction, or in the mar
ket place. . r.. .s-...,
Our farmers are tn. most i'm
portanl working population of the
country and produce three-fourths
Gifts productive wealth. Out OF
their toll and products are direct
ly or: indirectly obtained, most OF
the texesaand yet they: ere at the
mercy Of. all other. interests. A
projected measure that would
transfer millions from the profits
of agriculture into. others hands
may be resolved upon by half q
dozen wealthy gentlemen, of ele-
giant enterprise, seated in a pri.
vate parlor or around a board of
direction, without exciting any
more concern amour our farmers
than if the subject matter related
to China or Japan.
The reason is our farming pop.
ulation are cut up into isolated
fragments, aud are beaten in de-
tai, in politics and in every thing
else. ,
/. =, Such facts as hayebeen adduced
show the importaneesand neeessi-
~ oforganized societies Of farm
ers, and like enewsorder,o the Pat
rensses Husbandry, with freqnent
meetings and wide extended fra
terhityy for collecting and >dissem,
mating valuable information, and
for. n1tual instruction and defiance.
Unlike the. rural peasantry of Eu-
rope, oarafsrmers saER 1.-The land
they cultivate. Theysar capital
lists, freehoiders, citizens and ru-
lers of the state and nation. They
are, or ought to be, men Of thought,
reading and useful knowledge, as
well az Of manual work. ..,., -
ALI other interests: are armed
and constantly on a war footing.
Among the powerful nations of
Europe. when one arms, all must
arm. So it is in all, communities.
When every interest is cared for,
when every interest is prepared
for defence, all are cared for
Then. there ia justice, equity,
peace and prosperity for all. E.

The SueZ Canal.

The New York Herald has an
articles on the opening .ofthe Sues
Canal, which takes place ain Sep
tember next. 1t gathers from sA
accounts that this'occasion, which
celebrates The connection ofths
Red Sea, and Indian Ocean with
the Mediterranean and the 1t.
lantic, will be conducted with =
royal gathering and regal slendors
never surpassed or approached in
tho grandest celebrations Of an
cient or modern times. 1t says
all the potentates and powers Of
the great divisions Of the earth
will be represented on the occas-
ion. The Empress Eugenie, iR
the name of France and this Fran
co. o.Egyptian work, is to assist in
the ceremonies ZONE o or more Of
the princes and princesses, Of En-.
gland will be present, and the
Viceroy of Egypt will devote u
000, 900 francs in behalf Of the re-
presentatiEes Of the newspaper
press, 200 European journals viii
be represented, and altogether
the celebration: il destined to ID
one of the wonders Of the modern
world. It. says :I-N a.. ,.,t..s -...
The idea ofs ship canal across
the desert Isthmus Of Suez, be-
tween sixty andseventy miles, 10.
older than the Pyramids but
like the mystery Of the iuunda-
tons and the sources Of the nigh
ty Nile, it has passed down to our
nineteentb century for its practi-
cal solution. SlAnl Epglish explor-
or, Sir Samuel Baker, having conn.,
pletely solved the Nile sourcesr
its unfailing stream and it, annual
overflow, has been commissioners
by the Egyptian sPachs, on . large
and liberal scale, to head an expe-
dition to the great Nile lakes Of
the equator, in view Of making the
length of Egypt the length Of the
river, which flows through some.
thirty.five degrees Of latitude. On
the other hand, some French En-
gineers, having shown the feast.
bility of the Suez Canal, the Ps-
cha engages the French to exca-
vate it, and draws upon the Wild
Arabs for their workmen, thus
bringing the influence. the fore
most minds and the best appi-
anees of the two greatest Europe
an powers into his service with
the children Of the desert. The
Sultan Of Turkey, then, who owes
the preservation Of his empire to-
England and France, has reason
to be- proud Of his progressive and
sagacious Egyptian Viceroy. ~

Marriage.

Marriage is, to a woman, at
ethe happiest and saddest event
Of her life !; it is the promise of
future bliss, raised on the death of
all present enjoyment. She quits
her home, her parents, her COM
panions, her occupation, b r
amusements-.everythingo on which
she has hitherto depended for
comfort, for affection, for kindness,
for pleasure. The parents BY
whose advice she has been guided,
the sisters to whom she has dared
'impart i'm every embryo thought and
feeling, the brother who has play
ed with her; by turns,the council
lor and the: coanselied, and the
younger children, to whom she
has hitherto been the mother and
:the.playmate--all are to, be forsa'
ken at one feilstroke ;,svery, for
|; mer tie is ,ooseaed, the spring Of
every hope and action to be chang
ed and yet she flies with joy into
the untrodden path before her,
Buoyedoup by the confidence Of
reqnitted love, she bids . fond and
grateful adieu to the life that is
past, and turns with excited hopes
and joyous anticipations ,. Of the
happiness to come: Then woe to
the man who can blight such faii
hopes-who can coward like, break
the, illusions that have won. her
and destroy the confidence which
love had inspired. .s.;a ~. >S:,...' =.
