"The farmer ~ always practitioner,

ist' While the ugrlcullnrilt, therefore,
M the latter sense, may be u auCcpss;
yet, IN u farmer, he may DO u perfect
fallure. Hence We aee the reason why
our "Clty cousin" aa the "mod0l farmer"
(referred 10 by The Oaaayiat NJ our laat
meotlng,) 40 utterly faila, and comes 10
the conclusion that, verify, "There is no
balm In tiilead; aud there IN no physl
elan there"
But 10 return TO our subject; aud we
preface u by saying, that labor and toll
IL the lot OF man. II has been well said
that, "W0rk ~ the order Of the day, sum.
mer and winter, NJ home aud abroad. IN
city Ond country going forth publicly
aud privately, until the night e0melh
aud mans work IN done" The master
speaks and every word Ia emphatlc' "GO
work to-day In my vineyard
Work IN the order OF the day, then
ana man Is destined 10 labor according
10 the edlct Of his Creator. "ln Che sweat
Of Thy face shalt thou eat bread;" or, aa
the popular version hnp II, Earn thy
bread by the sweat cf thy brow" Aud
there * abundant work for all TO DO
None need stand idle waiting for some
thing 10 do.
We need not alt down with folded
hands for the want Of honorable om,
plOym0nt, We dare not; wo cannot spend
our time In idlenegs and ho guiltloes
for the Apostle Paul says, In behalf OF
himself and his co.labOrera: 'Neither
did we cat any mans bread for n0ught,
but wrought with labor aud
travel night aud dRy that We might not
be chargepble TO any Of y0u.' Not bO'
cause we have not power, hut 10 make
ourselves an example unto you To fol
low ug For even when we were with
you, this we commanded you, that II
any would not work, neither should he
eat" Thus even our gustennnce iB made
To depend unon Tho labor Of our hands
! But our labor Nv not necessarily restrict
el 10 that Of our hands, There ig worl
