Farming vs.. Profession.

The Maine Mirror gives the testimony
of New Hampshire boy, now resid-
ent of Wisconsin, fine scholar, grad
uate of Dartmouth, and law student in
Merrimac county, who, just previous to
his admission to the bar, took severe
cold, which rendered him very deaf, and
no medical skill was able to restore his
hearing This affiiction compelled him
to give up his chosen profession, ard he
went West very much broken down in
spirits. For ten years he has been farm
ing, cultivating about 200 acres OF prair-
lie land, and, as he expressed it making
good living, and sailing down something
every year. And he declares that if know
what he now knows, he was to begin his
active life over again, he would do just
as he was compelled to do SO unwillingly
ten years ago; that is, he would throw
aside his profession and settle down upon
farm. Said he, ''there isn't much glory
in farm, but you get good, sure liv-
ing. You are your own master; you
can't starve or be turned out of business
and as far as the work is concerned in
these days of horse power, man need
MT kill himself at farming any more
than at any other business. 1t is brains
that win on farm as we'll as everywhere
else, and the smart man is going to ride,
while the stupid one goes foot, in the
corn-feld as well as in the bar or pulpit
I should like to have my hearing again,
