REV. W. II. II. MURRAY,
BEFORE THE
vermont state Agricultural society
THURSDAY, SEPT. IL, 1878.
Mr., President and Members of the Yer
mont State Agricultural Society, Ladie
and Gentlemcn-I must acknowledge, be
fore / enter upon my address, my protoun
sense of the courtesy extended to me by tn
society by whose invitation ! am here Il
the speaker of the day. | doubt if man,
of you can realize how keen is my appre
citation of the compliment, or how positv
the pleasure with which it fills me. In
duties and privileges of my public life hav
brought to me the opportunity to discus
many themes before many audiences. an
on many occasions ofpublic and private in
.ercst, but | do not rccall-and | say /
with sincere utterance-that time or place
when and where, / was sensible of so mucl
personal satisfaction us feel to-day stand
ing in this presence. welcomed by the pro
gressve agricuturists of New England II
one of their number and permitted to conn
sci with them. Born and bred in the cOun
try, grown on its homely but healthy fare
and toughencd by its toll. formed in earl!
life an attachment for its labors and its joys
beyond what have ever felt for any othe
mode o. life. Compelled to live in cities
ranked by men as member of anothc
profession. | have never in Thought an,
heart been divorced from agricultural pur
suits and rejoice that Providence has ;,
favored the bent of my mind and the wisl
/ of my heart that am able to stand to-da,
Il farmer among farmers, Il lover of til,
earth and student into those causes which
undcrle its productiveness.
Pervaded with such feelings, holding tina
agriculture if rightly followed is to the min,
and heart the most satisfactory pursuit. i
| is natural that on sucl an occasion rs thi'
| should think and speak of its condition
and prospects. and | have, therefore, So
lcctcd this line of thought as my theme;
agriculture, and why young men have deser
ted it,"
1t cannot be denied that agriculture il
its relation to the young men of New Eng.
land has not held and is not now holding
/ its own as against other callings and pur
suits. Even in this audience are hundreds
of men who deserted the industry that theil
fathers followed and directed their effort,
| in other directions. And while this woul,
naturally be the case to II certain extent
