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.

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.

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 all?’ "Only 12 o’clock !’ exclaimed Ter rence. ‘Wny 1 > nought ti t... „f least 5.

Some ninety jesrs ago, (hero flnnr isltod in Glasgow a club of young men which front the extreme pr< fligacy of its members, and licentiousness of their or gies, was commonly called the 11-ll Ctub.
