| EARMING, AS A DUSINESS,
offers the most gnduring reward to
those who embark in It, of any oth
er bustness known, The whola
world, from the most dignified lord
to the most humble inhabitant o:
earth, i dependant upon the pro
ductions of mother earth for
gupport, All enterprises, from the
most gigantic manufactures to the
humble bogt-black, look tq her tor
their bread. The Zproducts of the
earth compose the greatest part of
trade and commerce, Indeed, all
flesh, both man and beast, look to
the earth for theiy gustainance,
Farming baing the process by
which these productions arp drawn
from the earth, it is therofore the
foundation of all husiness. Hence
4he fiemen is the most independent
of all other Dbusiness, except
his own, of any man living.
The farm is the great store housc
from which all men and occupa
pations live. The whole world is o
pen to the sales of the products of
the farm. Hence, there is no sych
thing ag*being driven out by com
petition. It is admitted that =
great many men live on the farm
and fail to make a decent support.
But the blame is not to be attached
to the farm, but the improvident
owner is at fault. Many young men
make a sad mistake in leaving the
farm to seek other buginess, thus
depriving themselves the pleasurc
and quietude that gurround the
farmer’s home. Farming is the
most honorable business of all oth
ers. We ;do not _pretend ta say
that all farmers are hanest, but
there is less need of tricks and cha
ehinery to succeed in his business,
than in almest any other

as & resuit of his honest labors,
grow up to make him comfortable
and happy. Therefore, farming is
one of the most noble occupstions
occupations on earth. Free from
the tumult of public life, the far
mer leads a quiet life—free from
all men, and the benefactor of all.

FUMOROUS,
TOBY’S TROUBLE,
Out on Frazier street a few morn
ings ago old Uncle Toby was look
ing for a lost cow. It was not yet
daylight, the old man spied three
bavs obstructing the sidewalk in
front of a neat-looking cottage.
He accosted them with: “Hab un
of yer young gemmen sced noth
in’ of er ole sed butt-headed cow
foolin’ rotn’ here dis mornin’ ’zif
she had no tickler place to boad?”
“I seed a cow of that] description
replied one of the boys, “an’a
white man driv hes in dis yer
yard.” :
“Is yer sho dis is de place ,an’
dat it wuz de animal dat I has
‘seribed ?”
“Es yer don’t bleve me yer kin
jes go an’ ’quire fer yersefl, ole
man.”
“I wonder is dar adoz in dar”
“Yer can find dat, too, es yer
ain’t skeeved,” and the young
buck winked at his companions.
“T hain’t skeered of no dog dat
was ever born’d, and T'se gwine
in dar, too.”
The old man opened the gatc
and went in, Seeing a litle gate
on one side standing open, he
yanked himself through it, intend
ing to inspect the cow lot first : but
Le had scarcely disapeared from
sight when the sounds of & conflict
izgued from the direction he had
taken, and a'mogt immediately
Uncle Toby was seen hurrying hat
less toward the fecont gate.
“Dar is a dog in dar sho’ you
born,” he exclaimed. leaniug his
back against the fence on the out
gide of the yard. |
- “Did you git yer?” asked one of
the boys, with a low laugh.
.. wNo, he didn’t. T like ter - got
him, an’ es dey hadn’t tuck me
off’n him, dey’d a bin one ded dog
in dis town. Don’t yer forget dat,’
and uncle Toby put his hand feel
ingly to the rear of his person.
“What’s de matter, back dar?”
asked another ono,sauntering be
hind him. - , s
| “Pears like de scenery haek dar
'has bin wrecked ”said the second.
“Dat’s none ob yer = biziness,
young men, and more'n dat, lom
me tell yey, if de seat ob yer hritch

As the old man walked off, the
