DON'T LEAVE THE FARM.

A great many young people are leav-
ing the farms upon which they have
been raised and which they have learn
ed to manage and are going TO the
towns and cities with the hope of doing
better. This is grave and serious
mistake. The towns and cities have
already too many idle hands. There is
nothing for one coming from farm to
do. All the vacancies in the various
employ ments Known to city and town
life are quickly hlled. If a man needs
help he has only TO say the word and
hundreds will come at his call. The
man who understands farming and by
little effort can get together few
acres Of ground is sure of living, it
not of competence and independence.
lie is in no fear Of the rise or fall in
stocks. lie can have peace of mind,
well knowing the harvest will surely
come. The farm can, with little effort,
be made beautiful and attractive; and
besides, after all, it is home. The city
it is true has its pleasures and allure
ments, but in the main anxiety aud
worry more than outweigh them. Let
our farmers not only make country life
comfortable but attractive for their chill
dren. Let them add music and good
literature and a little mirth to moral
culture and ordinary routine of every
day life; let them ornament the house
and the grounds surrounding it, cult
waite in the children love of the good
and beautiful as well as the useful; let
them know that agriculture occupies
the first place in the occupations of men,
and that some of the finest minds of
our time find both profit and pleasure
in it. 1t may be said with truth that OF
all the pursuits Of man agriculture is
the most independent. Therefore we
say TO our young people-don't leave
The farm. Not one in hundred who
does so but in the end repents of it
when il is too late. We repeat, don't
leave the farm.

say- \ FlGHTING PREACHER.-l'ev.
A. J. Carney, referred TO in the follow
ing article, is well known in this town,
having preached upon our streets sever
al times during the past few years. The
following article is taken from the New
York SUM-
Mr.. A. J. Carney has been preaching
in the vicinity of Newburgh for a
few days past. He is known as "the
street preacher" and it is said that he
has been a minister about twenty years.
He is not only a preacher, but fighter,
and few days ago whipped man at
Fishk;ll Landing for disturbing him
while delivering one of his discourses.
The person whom he thrashed is a
well known character named Dan Dew
an. Mr.. Carney was holding one of
his outdoor meetings at the "Corners.
Fishkill Landing. Dewan, who was
evidently little intoxicated, began
yelling out some incoherent remark.
At once the Bishop" gave Dewan, as
well as his hearers, distinctly to DtSer
stand that he was not to be trihed with,
he was preacher, trying to save souls,
but he was also fighter, and would
stand no foolng. AS he said this, he
gave Dan a menacing look, which every
body present saw meant business. The
bishop then resumed his discourse,
but before he had proceeded tar Dan
became noisy again, yelling out it
wasn't so; it was lie." Constable
Stevenson, who was close by, APP
preached the unruly auditor, took hold
of rim, and told him to keep quiet, or
he would arrest him. Dan kept on.
Stevenson again besought, for his own
credit, 10 keep still. For little while
he did so, but soon sang out in loud
tones that it was a id lie, that the
preacher was fool, &c, &c. The
preacher was observed to be getting
nervous and twitching himself. In an
other minute he suddenly grasped his
long hook-headed cane that lay at his
fee: and jumped down, rushed through
the throng in the direction of Dewan.
Dams fists were instantly up, but the
fighting parson grabbed him by the
throat with bis left hand, while he laid
on his cane with the right so vigorous
ly that it snapped in Two. Then he
went back and resumed his sermon. Dan
was led away by his friends.
