The “FaT CoNTEiBUTOit" on FaW Life.—Being invited reoently to deliver an agricultural address Before a Har vest Home Association in Central ffevT York, on the oooasion of their atlnuaA festival, the “Fat Contributor" consent* ed. We make the following eloquent extract from hie address : Although fortune (or fierhape the want of it) oast toy lot amid the strug gling multidude of a great city, where you wouldn’t see a farm to a walk of several squares, where there are no meadows with their waving potato tope, or wheat fields ripe for the woodman’s axe, yet I have felt a great interest in' the farming classes, and I flatter my- self that I know something of the noble' pursuit you follow. I will say here,' that it has been the ambition of my life to be un honest old farmer—to earn my bread by the sweat of a hired toan'e brow. How delightful life en a farm must be. I can imagine what vigor ie imparted to the frame, and what strength to the musolee, by reciisingto the (hade and watching the mowers ae they gai ly swing their threshing machines, and then what an appetite ont mast acquire for the noon-tide lunch by observing the merry reapers at work digging their potatoes, and their—theirtallapplee. How often, in imagination, have I fol liwed you, as you went forth a summer’s' morning when the dew was on toe grass' seed, neatly attired in white linen suits with patent leather boots, with your oorn-shellers swung highly over your shoulders, to cut your winter’s wood. I have aiemed to hear your merry songs sweeping up from the meadows, as you gather your watermelons and turnips into your—corn-houses, while mingled' with the busy hum of your sorghum’ evaporators, came the musical bleating of y.ur cattle, and the lowing of yodr sheep and poultry. Tlien the winter aomes, and the slid prevents you from continuing your bay.' ing, and the cold north wind sbakeß'bff vonr strawberries, I picture yon sitting by your gas stoves, mending your fab* mng mills, in preparation for Yoiit spring plowing, or amusing yourself with Beadle’s Dime Books’On Agricul ture. Winter on a farm, how* beautiful !- What a pleasure it must be to fodder the ohiokens in the dairy, and to hear the musioal ducking of the pigs as' they clamor for their oats and hay. Then when the winter evenings come, and the robin and bobolink have oeaSbd their' song and gone to roost on the well' sweep, I oau imagine no greater delight than to gather around the blazing fire place, regardless of the fasoinations of the storm without, and amuse yourself with apple pearing, knitting, base ball. Bcven up, and other athletic games. I envy not, then the p3le dyspeptic who bends from morning till night over hi* sordid ledger in the crowded marts' of trade, or the child of idleness and al fluenoe who grows prematurely old’ amid the dissipations of a life like yours whioh I believe I have in no way over drawn if they did they would trans port their cities iuto the oountry, or transform them into agricultural com munities by act of the Legislature. Tha first snow of the season com menced falling at St. Paul, Minne sota, on the morning of the 29th illt. The storm reacaed Madison, Wisconsin, about noon, and at five o'clock in the afternoon it was show ing quite fast in Chicago. 10* The pork butcher’s song, —“To Greece we give outshining blades.”
