THE FARTHER BOY.
The farmer’s boy is a happy boy,
■ A merry lad is he—
n* leads a life of hearty joy,
He never wants for glee.
He holds his plow and drives his tean,
He whistles blithe and gay ;
A monarch might well envy him,
Hii life so bright alway.
He tills the land and plants the seeds.
To give the nation bread ;
How great his work—how vast his deeds !
By him the nation’s fed.
I love to look on bia sun-burnt cheek,
And grasp hie toil-worn hand ;
His daily works and ways bespeak
The patron of the land.
0 i, blessings on the farmer boy—
A noble lad is he ;
He leads a life of honest joy,
Who like him so free ?
From the New Orleans Picaune.
Cannot W ork on Farms.
It is an unfortunate fact that there are
a great number of young men here,
not to speak of the middle r.ged ones,
who are not only out ol employment
but insist upon it that they cannot en
gage in that which all admit is the
foundation of all prosperity, and the
decadence of which is the chief cause
of our misfortunes—the cu ture ol the
soil. Quite a number of those who
thus disclaim capacity to lollovv the
best examples of patriots and good
men, of all past ages, who ha.e tutu
ed In mi tne forum and the mans of
trade to the plow, even in their latter
days, are themselves the sons of far
mers and p.auuts.
To such us bomstly distrust tneir
ability to successful y w>rk the soil,
for want of practical knowledge of ag.
rieu ture, wo would suggest he wis
dom ul uhying thems IveS with those
who do, ,‘itid who are tngaged on
(arms, and to learn thereby the art of
farming Those who wish to learn
thus will make no objection to this.—
Even tyros can have a bhure in the
crops Urns made.
It seems strange that men who live
from hand to mouth, and never lay up
a dollar, should object to a farmer s
life because they are not sure of mak
ing more than a nvi g, w ane oi us
latl r they may bo sure, unless they
pitch their crop lor a money ui-king,
rather than fur a living (nuking one.—
flow many of these ch rka and poorer
pielsi-siorial men have a dollar over ul
the end of the year, or even a square
foot of land at the end of a lile time ?
Yet the farmer can, in bia garden
and pioultry yard, and ten acres ol
farming lots, to which he can readily
acquiie an indefeasible titlb, make a
most ample living for himsell and fam
ily, amJf it he have only an ordinarily
healthy w ife she can double h s income
wiiuout as much wearines as she now
expetiencee in attempting to keep up
appearances in town. The experience
as to how to do this is readi y acquir
ed of the will to be industrious, perse
vering and frugal, only exist and is
carefully nurtured. .
Men who steadfastly and successful
ly encountered (he beat of summer anJ
the cold of winter during the four
years of war, who camped in swampy
morasses, who fought and marched at
quickstep on the grea battle-helds of
the South in the summer solstice, need
never fear that they cannot bear the
labors and exposure of Southern agri
ture.
As to thoße whose cons itutions are
really unequal to that task, neither
nee’d they lounge about the corners,
seeking for employment with the yard
sick or counter scales, the making out
of account sales, or hunting patients or
e ients in “the vus.y deep,” whence
they come not. Let all iheae appren
tice themselves at oro e to some honest

It was made it repioach to England
once by a rival, tha it was “a nation

dustry ; but scorn and contempt fol
low the willfully idle, though the eye
only, aud not the linger, be pointed at
them.

The I’urcc of Imagination.
Late one evening a couple of Irish
men stopped at a country inn, in their
native land and asked for lodgings.—
The porter escorted (hem to the door
of their room ; but just as the travelers
entered it, the candle was extinguished
by the wind from the door ns it closed
behind them. The porter had already
returned to the bar room, and after
vainly groping about iu Bearch of
matches, the travelers resolved to go
to bed in the dark.
Ir. the middle of the night one of
them awoke and after shaking his com
rade to arouse him said :
‘Tenenee, I’m wake as a vaccinated
kitten, for the want of air. Get up
and open the window The room ia
as close as apa ion' fiin and I’ll die
if you don't give me a r ’
Terrence arot- , groped around the
room for a few mcmeuts and then
said :
‘l’ve found the window ; but bad
luck to ye if I cun badge it. I can’t
move it ai her up or down ”
‘Then knock a coup e of panes out
with yer shoe, and we’ll pay for ’em
in the mornin’,’ said the sick man
Terrence did as directed After
two crashes were heard by the man in
the bed. he seemed to recover, lor lie
remarked :
‘Oh, that fresh air is invigor tin'.—

minutes nvre he was enjov ng hi

hi-i companion who had also exprese
eu him so f refre-lied by the current of
fresh air adimtted through the broken
glass
Considerable time elapsed, and at
long b the travelers awoke. For
thirty minutes they lay in bed conver
sing wondering why they cou.d not
sleep.
‘Mornin’!’ echoed the other. ‘By
the morthial but it appears to me
that it's perpetual night in this part iv
the world.’
In a few minutes more they heard,u
knock at the door, and the travelers
asked what was wanted
•It i twelve o'clock T answered the
porter, opening the door ami enter
ing the room with a candle in his
hand. ‘Areu’t ye gwiue to get up at
