THE FARMER,s WIFE.

Is there any position a mother can
covet for her daughter more glorious
than to be the wife of an honest, indie
pendent, happy farmer, in a country
like this? TO be the wife of one whose
farm is noted far and near as model
of neatness and perfection of cultiva-
tion To be mistress of mansion of
her Own-a sweet ana lovely home I?
To be the angel that fits through the
garden, bidding the flowers bloom and
twining roses and honeysuckles around
the bedroom window, or sweetening
their fragrance with her sweetest smile;
or spreading the snowy cloth beneath
the old oak at the door, to welcome her
husband as he returns from his toll, or
even tipping the cradle with her foot as
she plies the dasher with her hand, or
busiIy moves the needle, at the same
time humming q Joyous song of praise
that she is the beloved wife of an
American farmer-one of The true no.

should by right rank as the pride and

THE HORSE GRowERs.

Going into Orange County, N, Y.
you find on every hundred acres q neat
and capacious white house, with we'll
kept fences, a few rose-bushes. a CON
Yenient garden, ample barns. Inside
these houses you will be apt TO find a
wholesome, handsome woman and four
good chIdren-that is the AVERAGE If
thls woman does not know what good
putter Is, and how to make it, good
Dread and how to make it if she does
not know a good horse or COW when she
sees it, a good farmer as soon as she
puts her eye on his land, it will be sur-
prising. If every woman in eyerv
house does not own and wear a silk
dress, if there is not in every house a
newspaper or two, and magazine or
two, and twenty good books, it will be
more surprising still. These houses
are furnished with good carpets and
good beds, and in many of them stands
a piano, which some daughter can use
pasSablY we'll. On Sundays and on
fair-days, these men and women and
children have good carriage and a
horse or two, with which they can ride.
They are as we'll off as mankind can
be, and they ought to be content.
For myself, should like to see in
troduced here the English fashion of
1ortnightly market DAYS, where, at the
central town on a particular day, buy
ers and sellers should meet, the one
with productions, the others with mon
ey, for mutual exchange. I believe
TINS would promote and satisfy the So
claI Ieellng, which now may sometimes
go hungry and am sure &c would be
pecuniarily beneficial. Five GOOD far
mers can start It'll any district. and I
trust they will in Orange County. Tbe
principal products of this rich countv
are outter, cheese. milk, cattle, hay,
and horses. 1t is with the last that We
have to do. Three great stud farms
are to be seen there and besides these.
good horses, in ones and twos, are bred
on nearly every farm. This, indeed.
