Why Fafnlory Sons DISLIKE farming. 4


l. Farmers complain that their sons do not take
to the profession ofticit 'fethers kindly. but
, that very large per cent. OF them drift into
the cities and follow other, occupations, Ia AZ
ia true, and the fault IS, inihaf the ceases with
the farmers themselves The reason for this is
that the American farmer s too much oppress-
ed with the spirit of money getting to make
farm life pleasant We know of thousands who
have broad acres, immense houses, cattle, sheep,
and swine, and who, i'll addition to: these treas
ures have their thousands and tens of thousands
in government bonds, or in mortgages, who
live in q style far inferior to that OF the hum
blcst mechanic in the towns Their houses are
built not to crafty taste or to yield pleasure to
their inmates, but solely with an eye to eonve-
nience; the, floors are uncarpetcd, the windows
are shadeless there are. no books, no papers
save one for market reports, no. CHEEKY turnl-
ture, no piano or melodeon, no nothing to make
life pleasant. Outside, the same barren, hard
appearance is manifest. Flowers are tabooed,
there are no ornamental trees, the barn is as
severe in style as rigid economy can make it;
in Short everything is subservient to the one
idea-proft.
Is it any wonder that the boy born and reared
amid such surrounding desires something bet
tor, so soon as he discovers that there is some
thing better? Is it any wonder that, seeingsin
towns Injuries, beauty and taste, he .fancies'
mercantile or.professional pursuits must be bet
ter to afford these things? Is it any wonder
that, after living month among pleasant
things that he;should imbibe distaste to the
farm of his father, and the hard, close life led
upon it?
We wish to be understood. The farmer who
has debt on his hands, or whose farm lacks nee
essary improvements has no business with, any
of this. Much better bare floors and walls than
mortgages. But in middle life when the farm
is paid for and stocked, when there is money at
interest, and the chances for failure have all
been passed the farmer who does not add to his
house all these things is foolish indeed. There
should be in every such farm house as good.
furniture, as good carpets; as good piano, and
as good library as any townsman worth an
equal amount, possesses the sons and daugh-
ters should be well educated. not that they
may leave the farm, but that they may make
farm life pleasant and happy. There should
be just as good society, and as much of it,
in the country as in the town: The social
instincts inherent in all should be cultivated;
there should be music, there should be read
ing there should be discussions in short, what
ever men of means find to amuse and improve
themselves in towns, men of means IN tie coun-
try should find and practice
When all this is done, farmers sons will sell
dom leave tNe noblest of all professions, for
with these additions farming is the most pleas
ant life that can be. led ; and for the same rea-
son farmers daughters will prefer to marry
farmers sons, but not till then.-American

in length. This may appear a little

that Young saw log In his eye for five
weeks. He received It while hunting

force of the blow telling him 70 the

there until It was grappled yesterday

THE RIOT IN NEW YORK.

To-day's kilograms from New York
are indeed exciting and important.
Two opposing factions of the Irish por-
ton Of the population are fighting
against each other, and riot, bloodshed
and death has already resulted from It.
What Is the cause Of this terrible state
Of affairs? Simply that the Orange
mon, or Protestant portion Of the Irish,
had announced that they would turn
out In procession and celebrate the an
niyersary Of the Battle of the Boyne,
which occurs to-day, and the Catholic
Irish determined to prevent them.
America Is supposed to be a free coun-
try, and all nationalities are allowed
to celebrate their own peculiar occa-
slons and institutions whenever and
wherever they please, Irrespective
Of creed or religion. There was
no bigoted Interference In the recent
Pontifical celebrations at San Fran
cisco or anywhere else, and all good
citizens will grieve at the bloody, dis
graceful disturbances of to-day, what
ever may have been the actual ami
mating cause. All good, impartial
citizens Will admire the correct and
decided stand taken by Gov. Hoffman,
Of New York, in the matter, as we'll as
to a perhaps lesser degree that Of the
Governor Of New Jersey. Whatever
may be the religious or political result
of to-day's doings remains for the
future to d~evelope.

Death Among Politicians.

The New York correspondent Of the
Rochester Democrat writes:
The recent death Of Vallandlgham
calls my attention to the remarkable
exception which 1t forms to that OF
other departed political leaders. It Is
indeed worthy Of notice that this class
of men have lived to an old age, or to
its near approach, and that they have
seldom been removed by violence.
On this account Mr.. Vallandigham's
Ease attracts particular notice. His
death and that of Peter Cagger are
among the rare instances Of the death
Of political leaders by accident. The
death of A. p. Upshur, Secretary OF
the Navy, by the bursting Of the big
gun aboard the Princeton, In lS43, Is
the nearest parallel but he was not a
political leader. The revolutionary
patriot of Massachusetts,, James Otis,
who made Faneuil Hall ring with his
eloquence, died by a stroke Of light
ming. Lincoln was slain by an assaS-
sin, and was the only n Of u Pres
idents who died by violence. 70 these
may be added the inferior name Of
Hiseock, whose fate while a member
Of the Constitutional Convention Is
fresh in the memory Of our readers.
Webster, while In Albany In 1916, was
on the point Of taking passage for New
York in the steamer Swallow, which
was wrecked near Hudson, and had he
done so he might have been among
other victims. Among the short-lived
politicians, the most distinguished was
Hugh s. Legree, the bright star OF
Tyier's Cabinet, who died at Boston
In 1912. He was only forty-slx, and
had served as United States attorney
for less than two years, but had won
eminence In that time. OF our states
men, Clay reached the age Of seventy
five, Jackson seventy-eight, Calhoun
sixty-eight. Webster seventy. John
Quincy Adams eishty-one, Buchanan
scventy-eight, Van Buren, elghty-one,
Taylor siXty-four, Cass e~ighty-two.
Marcy was seventy-one, and Edward
Everett the same. Benton was sew
enty-six, and, remarkably, Webster,
Calhoun, Cass and Van Buren, were
born the same year-l7S2. Going
back to men of older date, John Adams
saw his ninety-first year, Jefferson his
eighty-third. both dying on the Fourth
of July, 1926. Burr lived to eighty
one, which was a striking contrast
with his ancestors, for his father was
forty-two at the time Of his death, and
his grandfather, Jonathan Edwards,
was only fitty-six. Monroe lived to
seventy-three, John Jay to eighty-four,
Patrick Henry to sixty-three. We
thus learn that our politicians, not
withstanding theircares and vexations,
enjoy an existence much beyond the
average, and that the early death Of
such men as Legree and Henry ].
Raymond forms the exception.
