then cnsued in relation TO kinds aud pr :

that although his stock was low at that

He also told where he had purchased IL

particulars relative to the ease in point.
in fact, the "gay deceiver toyed with his

cruelty produced another card, at the

persons so doing had licences. The gra-

who then denied that he had ever said it,
and walked Indignantly away, declinin g

YOUNGSTOWN.

MEETING OF FRIDAY, JAN. 90. 1871

VT fhibhi' JAM 49, ~
[The following essay by Prof. T. C. Hathaway,
was not published at the time for want Of room,
but as the Club desire to have ii published, and
it has lost none of its goodness by having b,en
kept so long, we give it this week.-ED.l
am not so concetcd as to think that
any man of my age who has spent only
the careless days of beyhood upon a farm.
and whose subsequent life has been dcvo.
ted to the indoor profession of teaching,
can interest, much less instruct an audi.
ence Of farmers in respect to the abso-
lutely essential practices Of their calling.
| therefore propose in this paper to throw
out few hints and suggestions respecting
the necessity of good taste and neatness
upon the farm, in short-esthetics of farm
ing.
The fact that so few farmers sons fol-
low the profession of their fathers, while
every other walk of life is crowded; and
the additional fact, which is the inevta.
Bile result Of the former, that the large
farms are absorbing most Of the small ones,
has been, and still is, the cause of no lit.
tie solicitude. As might naturally be ex.
pected, various reasons have been advan-
ced to account for this state of things, and
many have been so inconsiderate as to at
tribute it to the advancement of education
as if it were possible for anything, the
cardinal principles of which are intense
application aud unfaging industry, to make
a drone or laggard of smart boy
Now | believe that the absence of taste,
culture and proper and necessary recrea-
ton, drive more boys from the farm. than
all other things combined. Prof San6orn
who for more than three years has held a
professorship in Dartmouth College, once
used the following language by way Of
good advice to class of young men just
entering that Institution :-"Secure and
keep, if possible, room thatis more at
tractive than any loafng-pace in town,
for you will thereby be free from one of
the greatest temptations to squander your
time in places of public resort"
Now this theory applies to the subject
under consideration with equal force. The
farmer land it is equally true of ether
professions) who cares nothing for the ap-
pearance of his farm or buildings, who
looks upon schools as time and money
wasted, and regards books and papers on
/ ly as inducements to keep his sons from
work., who makes life mere tread-mill
whose only use is to increase his note-roll ;
has no right whatever to be surprised TO
find his grown-up children possessed of a
hearty hatred of everything pertaining to
farming. There are nope of this class
of men here, they never attend such
places. they are at home threshing with
the fail Or sbelliug corn by hand, or tel
ling their family Of their poverty, and
thus explaining the impossibiity of hav-
ing the actual convcniences of life. 1t is
fortunate for the profession as well as for

Peace at Last.

The arrangement Of treaty of peace
between France and Germany, subject to
the action of the National Assembly, ends
one of the most remarkable conflicts
in its beginning, its progress and its end.
1t was not waged for any principle of gov
eminent, or any real question in dispute,
but rather on a point Of national prec-
dence-the question being whether France
should continue at the head of the great
powers or yield its place to Prussia. In
diplomacy, as well as in war, the French
have been defeated from the first by the
Prussans. The latter were most fortu-
nate in having such men as Bismarck for
the cabinet and Won Moltke for the field
From the>first Bismarck made it appear
that Pussia was forced into the war BY
France, but when the war opened Prussia
was prepared and France was not Tho
results of the war, direct and indirect,
have been most important. Among them
are the unifcation of Italy aud the ever.
throw of the Napolonic dynasty. What
will follow in France remains to be seen.
In most material things Louis Napoleon
gave France for twenty years the best
government it ever had. Her commerce,
manufactures and agriculture were devel-
oped, her inventive genus quickened, and
her capital made the chief city of the
world. He made some mistakes, as in
the Mexican expedition and the last war,
which was fatal, but down to last summer
he was sustained by great majority of
the people. During his reign France was
the bulwark Of Western Europe against
the aggressive powers Of the North and
East. Now that France has lost its pres
tige, England is cipher in continental
affairs, and Prussia and Russia will rule
the European world. 1t is impossible to
fortell the effect in the next twenty years.
1t will not be strange if radical changes
are made in the nap of Europe, at the
expense of the weaker powers, though not
necessarily to the disadvantage of the
people. Americans need not trouble them
selves much about the fortunes of Euro
pean dynasties. The question for us to
ask is, will the people gain by the changes
that have been wrought p Sunday Her.
