The Farmers Life.

There is a quiet about the life of q
farmer, and hope of a serene old are,
that no other business or profession can
promise.
\ professional man is doomed some
times to feel that his powers are waning.
He is doomed to see young and strong
men pass him in race of life. He
looks forward to an old age of intellect
ual mcdiocrity. He will be last where
once he was first.
But the farmer goes, as it were, into
partnership with nature--he lives with
trees and flowers-he breathes the sweet
air Of the fields. There is no constant
and frightful strain upon his mind. His
nights are filed with sleep and rest. He
watches his tocks and herds as they
feed upon the green and hilly slopes.
He hears the pleasant rain fall upon
waving corn, and trees he planted in
youth rustic above him IA he plants
,thers for the children yet to Be.
