ring, our delightful visits to the farms.
NoTbetter school can be opened to the
nisind inquiring into the principles and
practice of agriculture.
But, gentlemen, what small we say
as to keeping.nji our Perry Agrieultura
c’.ub? Shall we be content with small
earnings and give up the conflict or
■shah we press forward? Shame upon I
ns if we give up. The field of inquiry I
widens as we advance, and we should
listen to no such siren song as “quan
tum surfeit." The more we learn of
agriculture, the more we will find to
:learn. Ours is a nobl profession andwor-
thy of diligent study; but on account.
One of the most delightful exercises
font can beindulged in by the family
circle ts the practice of sacred mnsic
on Sabbath evening. And to derive
the greatest amount of pleasure from
it, it should be accomprnied by. a
cabinet organ. This him a sweetly sol-,
emnsonnd, which no other instnBnent
can ever attain, which makes itan-ih-

evening or family worship. -- The cabi

Under circumstances most diseour-
aging, we organized our society; and
despite many predictions of failure, we
have maintained onr existence, with
increasing interest, for nearly a year.
But with what results as to profit-, have
we improved ourselves in the study of
practical agriculture? Halve we ac
complished any good for ourselves or
others?—Let us see Has not the so
cial interchange of opinions and experi
ence, which has characterized ril onr
deliberations, proven mutually instvic-'
tive? Have not onr minds been turned
from the old routine channel of think
ing, and directed to new views-in agri
culture by the many impropmtu sug
gestions that have fallen from the lips
of onr zealous few? Have not thoughts
and feelings been expressed that tend
ed to stir pur minds, and arouse onr
dormant energies? Aye, doubtless,these
things we so. If we have not actually
learned, we have, at least, been incit
ed to a deeper interest in agriculture,
and have had unveiled some errors in
onr own practice and policy as planters;
and have been strengthened- in our
resolntions toward the correction of
such errors, and the adoption of a dif
ferent and more rational policy. I
think we may not say that we have
not, in some way and to some extent,
been benefitted by onr labors as an
