To You've MEN. We would like to
see our Young men giving themselves to
the farm labOrs with more readiness than
many of them seem disposed to. The
great object of every man is happiness.
One takes one road and another diff
ferent one, but all have the same object
in view. The path of ambition has never
secured it it has only multiplied miseries
and disappointment. The sure road IS
the PLAIN path No man can enjoy life
without health. To secure this great
blessing the body must be trained as well
as the mind The farm is the place for
health. vigorous, manly Y exercise, the sur-
vey for health, without which all other
blessings are but blessing on the lips. We
would prefer to be Cincinnatus to an
Alexander, the farmer Washington to the
conqueror Napoleon We would rather
see our young men ambitious, if that be
the proper word, to make large crops up
on a few acres to make two ears grow
where only one could heretofore be OBJ
tanned ambition To have fine horses,
cows and hogs of their own raising, full
barns, neat, well enclosed farms, COM
Portable and ornamental farm houses and
rural dwellings,; priding themselves upon
owing 10 man nothing, and to have
their neighbors say of them that "they
fear God, love truth and practice virtue. !"
If thus it be, You have no use for the rug
ged, dangerous path of ambition full of
tolls. cares, anxieties, disease and disap-
