LITTLE~JBIMY,
AND   TIIE    SCHOOLMASTER.
BY ANN E.   roRTEU.
It was a bright, sunny morning in J une ; every inch of earth and air was leoming with life—joyous busy life. The song of the birds, lhe hum of insects, the rippling brook, the waving trees, yea the very dew drop that trembled on tlie liny leaf, seem¬ ed full of happiness and love.
Il was one of natures holidays, when birds and flowers put on their gala dress, and drinking in sunshine, till every tint on petal and plumage glows beneath the in¬ toxicating draught. Such days are rare in our northern climate ; and oh ! how like gleams of Paradise tbey seem; how we long on such a glorious morning, to snatch from the laborer, the badges of toil; open the confined and pent up workshop, bidding their tenants go forth to the greentields and fresh air, and, in converse wilh God's works, gain hope and strength to boar their daily uurdens.
Two l.ids, with dinner baskets in their hands were making slaw progress towards school—the green lane was so shady, and the strawberries by the side ofthe road so tempting, that the litlla fellows were lolh to reach the school-house. This building like too many in our state, stood upon a hill, and close to a huge sand bank, not a shrub er a tree was near, and in a warm day the sand reflecled the heat till the very air around was hot an'l scorching. The room was about siixeon feet by twenty, and uauallyaccommodaled sixty pupils. Accom- Tnodated did I. say 1 I verily think the four walls, if Ihey had the power, would have moved east, wcsl, norlh, and south, for the sake of accommodaling the litlle sufibrers, that congregated there.
There was no cellar beneath the bnilding and  as  the flooring   was very near the ground, their feet were kept tolerably cool during the summer monihs, and in winter and in spring, though complaint was made of cold feet, especially by the more delicate girls, yet It was thought by the committee a good hardening process.   A part of the door wasbroken in, and many ofthe panes of glass were out: rather a fortunate cir¬ cumstance, as with this exception the room ii never ventilated.   True a few did take cold by setting directly before the broken window, but this was far belter than to ad¬ mit no pure air inlo this viliated atmos¬ phere.   The desks were low, as were also the seats ; the latier being withont backs, the desks were well varnished by contin¬ ual rubbing of elbows.   True indeed, this mode of setting, the impure air and cold of winter, carried off many of their chil¬ dren by consumption to an early grave, but enough was found each spring to All up their places ; and while many wonder¬ ed at " tho mysterious dealings of provi¬ dence, which deprived them in so sudden and unexpected a manner ofthcir beloved offspring," the  remainder looked upon it es the mere course of nature.
But I am furgetling Ihe boys m my de scription ofihe .schoolroom.
" I say. Jemmy, lel us nnt go to-Jay, old Knowllun is .so cross he'll surely find somo excuse for flogging us by the time the room eels hot this afternoon. They say there's some fine trout in tbe Johnson brook over yonder there, and here's fish¬ ing tackle," he added, pulling twineand hooks from his pocket.
Jimmy cast a glance at Iho brook as its pure waler rolled over tiic pebly bottom, then at tho lishing gear, his eyes glistened at the sight of the boyish templation ; he was about tn give ono leap over the fence and away, but a second thought checked him, and he replied—
• No, I think I'll go lo school ; I know it is a beauiiful day, and the master is ralher cross; bul then this is my only chance for learning, (as my falher is poor,) and I'll make the best ofit. And then It will be play¬ ing truant, and whai will the Deacon, vour faSier, say."
' Whip me of course ; but many is tho day that I have stood and hesitated be¬ tween a whipping from my father and going
a day in school with Ktiolrt'ton, and have concluded to take up wilh the former.— My falher punishes because old King Sol¬ omon did; (don't you wish hw'd never writ Iho proverbs 1) bul our master pun¬ ishes because ho loves to torment olhers. 'He's never whipped me,' rc:j)lied Jim¬ my, sianding erect and feeling the dignity and self-re.spect (alas so rare) of an un- whipped school boy.
' Good reason why, becsiuse you try lo please the old^tyraiil; but don'l yuu gel whipped lo ho.pio V
'Never. My falher does not believe in whipping goodness inlo boys, and my mother is so gentle and good that we do jusl ns she says, because we love her.'
And hero the mention of bis mother re¬ called her request that he would not be tale at school; and changing his slow pace for a run he was in his desk jusl as the vil¬ lago clock siruck nine. His companion lingered behind, preferring a day in the greon woods and a whipping in the eveu¬ ing, to the company of his teacher during the day.
Schoool has commenced ; and the group of children, coming their tasks, make a noise not unlike buzz of a bee-hive in their busy season. Classes are culliid out and hurried through their recilalions, as if dispatch was the main Ihing.
The most absolute government prevails. These sixty children are for the time being compleiely in thc powur of the peda¬ gogue. I wish I could describe him to the reader as well this fellow who is now drawing his proam upon the slato. That's right, my little arlisl; all savethe neck-tie. 1 see you are shortening that: (mosl ty¬ rants have short necks.) There, now let us have tho slate and we will criticise.— Low forehead, thick, heavy, irongray eye¬ brows; nose short and somewhat inclined upwards; large inouth,around which vege¬ tates a stiff, stubby, two days old beard, and white, opening leeth. The head large in in the occiptical region, tho ugh someiohal flattened at the pok, as we say in Geography ofthe earth ; hands large, fleshy, and par¬ ticularly rounded at the ends of the fin¬ gers.   Now for the costume.
Whenever you ride through our village, gentleireader, and seo a short, thick-set man, with pepper and salt pantaloons, and a gray coat with steel buttons, you may know Master Knowllon, especially if he have a huge hickory cane, and walk with the air of one who seems to say, ' 1 am school master and militia captain.'
He had followed his profession of teach¬ ing many years; his chief recommendatiop being that he could govern unruly boys.— Tbis was superior in masculine strength to the pupils. Brule force was the only se-i cret ot his success ; and 1 venturure to say that, among all his pupils, no other motive ever induced obedience. The forenoon ofthis day passed offwilh very little trou¬ ble—that is to say he exeicised only a few ofhis petty methods of torture, such as ty¬ ing some up by the thumbs ao that thuy simply rested upon iho loes; twisting a string around the nose and drawing it rath¬ er tight; holding a club at arm's length above the head for half an hour, wilhout moving, and sundry other punishment, thu very mention, of which will, I fear, dis¬ gust your city readers, especially if a ^enc/ier ofthe enlightened metropolis .should perchance read ihis page. They, 1 trust, are leading the way to a higher and more effeciual method of guiding the plastic mind of youlh. At present, our country school.s greally need reform, and as they generally follow in the wake of city mea¬ sures, I hope we shall are long bo laughi that, to educate the mind and heart, il is not necessary to bruise and mangle the body.
Tho aflernoon came, that warm, bright June aflernoon ; how wistfully the boys who sal by tho windows looked off inie the cool shade ofihe distant \vood, or into the pastures and mowing where they fan¬ cied they could see the ripened berries.— How tedious and perplexings corned the Rule of Three or Interest sums, and how many word* were missed in spelling be¬ cause standing on one foot they were list¬ lessly turning and gazing out of the win¬ dows. In one comer, apart from most of her companions, sat a gentle looking girl asleep. Her book had fallen frotn her hand, and lay on the floor by her side.— Her soft, brown hair curled over her neck and shoulders, and hor usually pale cheek was now somewhat flushed with heat. As the scholars looked at the sleeping girl they smiled, but made m»tions lo each other not to lell the master. Poor Annette was a great favorite among Ihem. She was an unfortunate child with just reason enough to learn to read and could not do that so as to be very well understood. With great difficulty she could commit an easy spelling lesson ; but Arithmetic was far be¬ yond her comprehension. She was gen¬ tle, wilh the exception of occasional fits of anger, and then no one bother litlle broth¬ er could soothe hor. Her mother was dead; and she who now supplied that place, sent her to school so thai she be less ca re to herselC
Notwilhslanding the caution ofthe schol¬ ars, the argus eye of the master discuvcr- sd the sleeper, and going towards her, with his rattan raised, he struck a blow that rais¬ ed a deep red streak upon ihat white neck. Annette opened her large blue eye.?, and seeing Knowllon she became excessively angry, and seizing her book she flung it in his face. He raised his weapon—Indig¬ nation waa printed in the features ofevery scholar, but for a second fear kept them motionless. Suddenly little Jimmy rose and going directly to the side of Annette, his large grey eye flashing fire, he looked his master full in the face and said in a lone which fur, a moment awed the bru¬ tal man: ' Dont you strike that poor girl again!' Then whispering to Annette, 'run! run ! tho door is open.'
She-uuderstooil, and bounded like a ga¬ zelle from thc room; before any one pre- sentcould recoverfrom their astonishment. Turning fiercely towards Jimmy, the mas¬ ter exclaimad ina voice of thunder, 'well, take it yourself then,' and seizing a heavv ferule, (the rattan had fallen from hfs hands) he laid, thick and heavy, lhe blows upon the arm and hand of the child. Ho at first struggled violenllj', but llie excite¬ ment so unusualto his naturally quiet spir¬ it joined to the pain, finally overcame him and he fainted. For a moment the irun- hearled man turned pale, but some of the older scholars brought water, and Jimmy soon recovered, though his hand and arm were so lame it was with the greatest dilli- oulty he could use it. There was no need of furiher discipline that day, the school¬ room was as still as a house of mourning; and when a little bird came and perched upon the window seala few momonls afler this scene, and trilled a lay that breathed o( bappy freedom, not a scholar then smil¬ ed, and the bird as if conscious of the gloom, hushed its song, and flew away.— But beneath the calm, lilile hearls were throbbing with indignation, and longing for power and strength to punish the "^op¬ pressor.
Near Jimmy sat a tall, awkward girl some eighteen years of age. Her maneorswere as rongh as hur bodily strength was great. Her black eye, usually lieroe in its ex¬ pression, was bent over her book, but her casual glance around the room, evinced no sympathy withthe scholars. From her apparent apathy, one might fancy sho sided with the master. When school was closed, and the freed group set forth once more into the fresh air, she retained her seat- When thc shadow of thu lasl one passed from the door, she rose and wilh a clench¬ ed hand turned toward the teacher,—said in a voico low and hoarse with emotions ; 'Isay, Knowllon, if you over lay hands on Annette Douglass again, you shall.fecl a waraan's venpeancB!'
waraan's vengeance!'"
The man quailed for a moment, then as¬ suming a smiling countenance, he said !— ¦ Well, susan, this is anew develupemenlfur you. I was not aware you pussessud so niueli sensibility.'
' Neither have I much to spare ; but ru- meinber harm ber not.'
' Well, I promise it you,' he replied, and they walked homowai^i together.
Meanwhile a little «iJHer aro collected around Jimmy, who as soon as he wa.i out of school f-dl down on a rock and weiii.for his arm pained him so much, he could not avoid il. Wilh groat efforts he had re.s- trainod his-lears belore his persecutor; now they were sympathising with him, ho shud lhein freely.
' There, Jimmy dear,' said a rosy-check¬ ed little girl, ' I have wrapped it up nicely in my linen apron, and now give me your handkerchief and I willlie itlo mine; then fasten it round your nock and that will hold your arm up nicely. I've seen my mother fix lame arms jusl so. Nuw don't it feel betteri' said the little nurse, .is she lied thc knot, and kissed a tear from his cheek.
'Yes, yes, Katy,' said Jimmy, trying to smile. All wero eager to carry his books and dinner basket for him. but Jimmjr ivould nol lel them enter the house until he had told the story himsolf lo his mo¬ ther !
Going direclly into her presence, ho re¬ lated the circumstance precisely as thev look place, merely omitting to tell how much hurt hu was himself. 'Now have I done wrong, mother'!' said ho. looking anxiously into her face for a reply.
'No, my darling boy,' said the fond inother, as sho laid hur hand upon his head,' God grant that through life you may havu the courage to shield the op¬ pressed.'
The arm was found so badly hurl, that a physician was called, tho next mornin tt, so great was the inflamalion, thathe fearod a tedious confinement for the child.
About the hnur for school, the truant boy called. ' Now don't you wish,' said he to the littlo invalid, 'you had played truant with mel'
' No indeed,' said Jimmy, ' for then poor Annette would have suffered much more.' The boy twirled his bat, then looked up and his eye brighteneif as he replied— well, I wish now I had been there to take the whipping instead of yourself, for I am so used lo it. I could have borne it better.
By the road-side sat Annette. She had been sent to school by her stern step-mo¬ ther, whom she feared to disobey, and yel had as much dread of eDOOunteriBg the master again.
' is that you, you little simpleton,' said a rough voice, as the sobs of the child be¬ came audible, and the hand of tbe rough Susan was laid upon her shoulder,-' come along to school; nobody shall hurt yuu,— not Knowllon himself, so long as you are by my side.'
Aiinelle had some perception of this girl's influuncu over the master, and nest¬ ling close to her side, she dried her tears and walked on. She had no reason to re- puiil her choice of proteclion. Knowllon punished luss and more carefuUy than usual.
Years have passed since theso events took place; but lilllu iniproveinent is as yet perceptible in our schools.
AU who Ihen met as pupils in the litlle red school houso, are engaged iu lliu tho aclive duties of life. Let us changu the scene, and we shall perhaps meet .some ot lhe same actors under difTorunl circumslan¬ ces.
Itis a sultry day in B., Souih Carolina. The country houso of iAr. Bethiine, sur¬ round by magnolia and catalpa trees, looks like the only cool spot for milos aruund. Scarcely a breath stirs the lall caues of the plantation, while the virgin cotion is burslMig from its brown pod as il wanting breathing room and air. Tliu blinds of the piazza are clo.sed and in the twilight thus made within, on a luxuriant, Iwo gentlemen are reclining.
'How in thu world, Uethiine, do you manage to keep such strict discipline among ynur slaves. Mine are so fat and lazy, 1 get little out of them; and were it not' for thuir unbounded affection for ' massa,' I should be inclined to sell them off.'
'Faith Dick, do you think I discipline my own slaves'! A sorry dug should I be to correct all their peccadiloes, and march round cracking a whip over the poor crit- lui's' heads. No, no. Slavery is bad enough at best, and I wish we wero fairly rid ofit. Bul do you see that man yander with that ererlasting gray cuat & steel but¬ tons 1 Well Ihat's my Major Donio, and the way he makes the boy.s work, would surpris'e our hardest southerners. When you want a stern overseer, send to the Norlh for a Vermont anli-»bo\itionist and vou will get a real 'salt and pepper.'— They're rare as peaches though, in that re¬ gion ; for raised amid their glorious moun¬ tain scenery and accustomed to hardihood and peril, they drink in freedom with their mother's milk, and despise every thing in the shape of oppression. But now and thon you catch a renegade like that Knowl¬ lon, and the slaves fear him almost as they would lhe master he serves.'
'But tho cream of the jest is.that his wife, Susan as he calls her, rules him with as much severity as he exercises towards those beneath him. Tha man lovas pow¬ er and frequently abuses it; but he receives his punishment daily at her hands.'
Again we must shift the scene. There is a public meeting in Bosion, that birth place of so many noblo and philanthropic institutions. The object of this assembly is the improvement of common schools.
How eloquently that young man is speaking in its behalf ! He has just re¬ turned from an examinafion of schools in England and Germany. How far ahead of our republic in this respect, is despnllc Prussia ! Stern as her soldier king, the leachers of her noble schools have learned lo guvern mind by the power of love and moral suasion.
Kow Iha speaker (none other than our little Jimmy,) warms into lhe subject!— And well he might, for a little incideni had. occurred that day, which rucalled the iron government of his own school days.
With his usual interest in every benevo¬ lent institution, he had been visiting the Asylum for the Insane.
After passing Ihrough most of the galle¬ ries, thuy came tu a little room where sata young woman with her baok to tho door, leaning her head upon her hand in a pen¬ sive atitude. ' This seems to be a singular case,' said the doctor. 'A natural imbecil¬ ity, strengthened and made worse by un¬ kind treatment. Thc harshness of a cruul stepmother has quenched the litlle light that nature gave the intullect. Kindness is however doing much for her.'
' Tlie best medicine for a rnind diseased,' said lhe visitor. At thu sound of that voire, thu paiienl turned her head quickly and her large blue eyes met those of thu young stranger.
' Little Jimmy!' said she, and extended her hand to himwitha look of intelligence she had not manifested for j'ears. it was Annette Douglass.
A tear moistened the eye of lhe young man, and as he went forth be repeated tho words of his moiher : 'My son. may God granl that through life you may bo a shield to lhe oppressed.'
This is his mollo, and many a sufferer in thu dark abodes of poverty and guilt, bless his name. I have heard him remark that ho never pa.sses a litlle country school house on a beauiiful day in summer, but he recalls the circumstance of his first whioping, and determines to labor with more zual for the improvement of our common schools.
THE   FA IIME 11.
From ihu U'-thu-sier Dftily Dt:inucrut. SICKCTTI  OF
JOSIAH QJINCEY'S ADDRESS.
Mr. QtiiNCEV addru.ssed himself to the Trusident and Gentlemen of tbe New York Agricultural Sociely, and remarked thai if Ihero was any position in this worhl which should inspire a man with eloquence, il was that which he now occupied—the posilion of a sneaker upon the subject of Agriculture, lie was standing in the cen¬ tre of the Agricultural population of the grealesi State uf our Uniun. Before him the lovely valley of the Mohawk was stretched out in the dislancc—a valley cel¬ ebrated in hislory and rendered glorious in song. Befbre hlin Wete thousands and tuns of Ihousands, who had fulled the for¬ est and made the wilderness nud and blos¬ som like the rose, lie sloud amidst the eviduneus of Unequalled skill and indus- tfy. Beneath him was a soil, rich in its products ; and abuve him a Heaven which kindly watched over all. Wo stand in the great Temple of Agriculture-a temple at thu uprising of whose columns the stars sang together, it is a temple nol made with hands, but is as high as the Heavens and as broad as the Earlh. Bul alas! tho ago of inspiration is passed, and he ncverruse lo addre.ssan audience whun he felt more .sincerely to ask indulgence than now thai he was abuul to address the members of Ihc New York Slato Agricul¬ tural Socioty.
He thought that tho agricultural society had made a great mistake ; for he Ihmight it an absurd thing lo send to Massachus¬ etts for a man to teach New York Farmers how to manage their farms. He wished to be understood al the outset of his re¬ marks, that he did not believe that what he should say would make two blades of grass grow where onu did before, or add aughl to the product of wheal or corn. All these things must go on in their old-fashioned way, fur aiigist he had to say.
Ho proceeded, however, to remark, that all must feel that the Farmor is more than lhe Farm, and the influence ofhis voca¬ tion npon the mind of more consequence than lhe vocalion itself.
The position of the American Farmer is one of immense importance, and the true influence of that position should be under¬ stood.   Il should be understood, that the individual may know what course to pur¬ sue.   To the public, it isof the highesl im¬ portance ; for every thing which relates lo agriculture   has   on  influence   upon the Stale. " Princp-1 or Kings tnnj fioiiriah or may fade; A hreath can make tliein, for a hrcaili h.is made; But a bold yeomanry, our couniry'B pridi:, If once destroyed can never he su[iplied." Mr. Q. said that many farmers were dis¬ satisfied wilh their posilion, nnd often con¬ trasted Uieir posiliun  wilh that of the suc¬ cessful merchant and politician.    This is wrong.    The farmer should bc cimlent to enjoy the ordinary blessings of life, andto transmit the enviable heritage uf industry and a good name to his posterity.
What, hu asked, is thu great object of pursuit of man on earth 1 It is happiness —happiness here and fiirever; and the i<reat question is, wheiher agricultural life offers as great opportunities uf happiness as any otheri To bo happy is, unques- liunably, the groat object of lile ; and Ihu i^reatuAl hlussiug that tho external world uall give is Health. "HeaUh of body," -lays the son of Sirach, " is above all rich¬ es ;" und where is best health to hefound 1 Look around you, nnd on the countenan¬ ces of the tillers of Ihu earlh you will see bright eyes and blushing cheeks, as well as strong muscles'and brawny arms.— These lell us that tho first of earth's bless¬ ings belong to those who till upun tho earth's bosom. Kul health is not always appreciated. Very many prefer weallh lu it; and it is not uni'requont to hear tho far¬ mer complain that thc merchant some¬ limcs makes moru money in onoyearlhan he can in a lifeliine, and inquires whether that vocation is most to be desired which is thus slow in accumulating wealth 1
But what price does the merchant pny forthis rapid accumulation of weallh 1— He sacrifices health of body and serenity uf mind ! Follow him through the crowd¬ ed streets of our commercial marls. Trace him lo his counting room or his workshop, and learn the dilficulties which he encoun¬ ters. For a lime, his health coniinues; but premature decay is often his portion ; and what is worse, wilh his health, vanish¬ es his peace of mind. Those engaged in hazardous vocations do, he conceded, sometimc.-i get rich rapidly. But there i.s great risk. When lliu farmer plants bis seed he e.'tpects an abundant return in kind; but the merchant often " sows the wind and reaps the whirlwind'"—a very bad system of agriculture.
Few merchants can carry on their busi¬ ness successfully upon their own means. They must borrow, and Solomon says— " the borrower is a servani to the lender." If success comes, does it often come quickly^ Possibly years of labor may be ruwardea with riches ; but how seldom is even this seen 1 In the great commercial cifies of the land, at least 90 per cent, of all engaged in mercantile pursuits, lail.— The fortunate holder of a lottery prize is placarded at every corner of your streets; but what becomes of tho ninety and nine who draw blanks'!
After all, a farmer may ask, what is the advantage of great woallh 1 And what is wealth 1 "A man is as well off," said a great New York capitalist, "who is worth half a million as if he were rich !" Punch says that when Rothschild was told that Louis Phillip's income was but $!50 a min¬ ute, his eyes filled wilh tears, and he re¬ marked. "I was really not aware of the King's deslitntiun!" "'We will conquer ail India," said Torus to his Prime Minis¬ ter, "WG cross over to Asia and conquer that. We will then find other nations to conquer; and when all are subdued we will then sit quieUy down and enjoy our¬ selves." "But why," said thc Minisier. mny we not now sit down and enjoy our¬ selves wilhoul going to so much trouble 1" It was the prayer of an inspired sage, givo me neither povcrly nor riches," and and tho greatBacon said, '-seek not proud riches, but such as you can get honeslly, spend frugally and leave cheerfully."— Could there be a better definition of con¬ tentment found? "Tell yuur master," said a Roman General to a Persian Am¬ bassador, who found him cooking his fru¬ gal meal with his own hands, "that all the gold in Persia could never bribe a man who is content to live on turnips;"—true as it was patriotic. If a man would be happy, he must have limited desires.
Health of body andcontcntment of one's estate, is all that nature can give, and to say that agriculture is best adapted to se¬ cure this result, is bul saying what has beun a thousand times said before. If yuu havu thuse certain rewards, you aru rich. You need not covet the riches of tho mer¬ chant. Thc amount of premium is in pro¬ portion lo the risk run.
All men wish to be esteemed, and all should desire lo be useful. Who more than the farmer, can be gratified in bolhl The grual mass of the human family must be farmers ; and upon them rests tho des¬ tiny of the nation. They have the power to give direcUon to those upon whom is devolvcdtho immediate guardianship ofour institutions. To do this right, it is desira¬ ble that Ihey should be intelligent, for the continuance of our in.slitiitions depends upon the virtus and intelligence of the people. If a nafion ivould be free,il must be first intelligent and virtuous. The far- I mers hold, by their numbers, the gift of of-
T^

fice. If they distribute these giflsillscfim- inatingly, our Republic will long contin¬ ue. If they play falsely, they will find, when il is too late, that Ihey have sold their birthright, and have no room fur. re¬ pentance.
Bul il maybe said that although collec¬ tively Farmers have power, individually, thoy are of little value like tho ocean; m ils combined majesty, it has power lo bear the might); fleet, but iu isolated drops, it is of no service.
Somo find fault IhatFarmers are not suf¬ ficiently noticed and admired. But all such should remember that notice and admira¬ tion afe not essential to happiness. Still even here, farmers havo as little lo com¬ plain of as any other class of community. Almost every Chief Magistrate has been a Farmer, cither before, during, or after bis elevation. We have had the Farmer of Mt. Vernon, the Farmerof Monlicello, the Farmer of the Herinilagc, the Farmer of Ashland, the Farmer of North Bend, the Fariner of Tennessee, the Farmer of Marshfield, and the farmer of Linden¬ wald;—thus proving, that although all .Farmers cannot bo Presidents, all Presi¬ dents must be FarmefS;
In Agricultural life, continued Mr. Q., Uiere aro very groat opportuniUes for use¬ fulness. When you place your soed in the ground, you know not the exlent of ils product; but when you sow the seeds of' virtuo, yo« are suro of an abundani relurn. One hundred years ago, there lived in Bos^ ton, a poor Tallow Chandler—wise and honest. It washis custom every morning, to repeat tbis lext: "See a man diligent in business, ho shall stand before Kings."— This seed was sown in good ground. His youngest boy was " diligent in business," and lie did "stand before Kings." He snatched the lightning from the clouds, and castsceptres from the hands of Kings. On his death-bed, he said that to his fath¬ er's precepts he attributed his success in life. He caused a monument to be reared tu that father's memory; but his noblest monument was his son's character. The example which he gave of thrift and dill gence, has induced thousands to imitate his example ; and yot unborn millions will lestify to the benefits of a single scripture text upon thc mind and character of Ben¬ jamin Franklin.
Mental Improvement is essential to the happiness of a Farmer. In my ideal of a Farmer, is included moro than mere reap¬ ing uf fields and filling of barns. He did not expect a Farmer to be learned in what was not useful. But if he enjoys health, let hirn know somelhing of physiology of the vegetable world, and every blade will speak to him of the bsneficence of the Creator, ll is in the power of every man lo devote a portion ofhis time to these sub¬ lime pursuits. It will make his walks pleas- anterand his flowers sweeter.
Nothing, continued Mr. Q., is more im¬ portant than mental culture, except moral discipline. Every condition of man in¬ volves trial, but not in the same degree.— It is not from every condition of life, that the narrow gale is entered Ihrough the eye of a needle. Thore are comparatively few temptations in agricnltural life. Itis a life which rests upon no man's promise, but upon His who hath promised summer and winter, soed lime and harvest.
And while free from temptation, such ajife gives complele scope for the perform¬ ance of all those duiies which make men belter and happier. Every man cannot render himself conspicuous in tbe eye of Ihe world, by rendering great service lo his couniry. But il is not Uiuy whosg presence draws forth the shout of tne mul¬ titude, who alune aru useful, trod ap¬ proves the services of the venerable Patri¬ arch whose presence draws tears from the eye and blessing from the tonguo of those who have felt his unostontaUous acts of kindness.
'I'lie farmer like the patriarch of old, stands nt thc head of his fiimily. When the Great Law givn.r led his chosen people out of Inrndag-n and established them in Judcd, nil His dispcii- Boil institutions proved how much He thoufiht ofthe influence of ngriculturc in Ibrminx human character. 'I'o remember and love Him, and rejoice beforo him on national anniversaries and festal days, was the groat command. The second was liko to it—kindness to the strnngor and the fatherlos.':. Nor was the brute forgot¬ ten. The chosen people were directed to remem¬ ber them when tlioy should gatlier in their fruits and not to ' muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn.'
The scenes wliich surround the Farmer, can¬ not but lead his mind upward. The high moun¬ tains—the lovely valleys—thc green fields and t!ic dancing brooks—all cheer him on his joy¬ ous pilgrimage. The glorious sun sends his r.iys to tho millions of the tillers of thu earth, to enrich their toil, nnd to cheer them on in tlieir career of happy contentment.
The religions feeling is no where so natural¬ ly producod.nsamid the rural scenes with which the I'ariiior is surrounded. 1 ho Shepherd boy of Israel, whilo keeping his father's flocks, was filled with admiration of God's munifi¬ cence, and e.TClaiincd,in holy rapture—"What is man that Thou art mindful of hini, or the son of man that Thou roganlest himl" Vene¬ ration and love bursts spontaneously from his lips; and when nil wrapped in holy grail ude, he exclaimed. " 'I'he Lord is my shepherd ; I shalljiot want,'' But anon, his voice comes to as from the camp and the tented field—from the palace and the throne; but in a tone how altered! The inspirntion of the shepherd does not follow him. The remorse of conscience and the despair of guilt are there; and as he re¬ members his joyous pastoral life, well might he exclaim—"Oh ! that I had the wings of a dove thatl might flee away ami be at rest!"
Nevertheless, some of my hearers may say ¦ " Well, that is all very poetic; but I want to be rich, 'fliat is the success at which I aim, and I never can be happy as a Farmer." No, nor you never could be happy in any vocation. How could you be happy while you are envious, av- .ircious, ambitious 1 Yon have no more chance to bc liappy, under any circumstancOB, than wore the envious, nvariciuus and ainbiUous ang¬ els who rebelled and |wero cast ont of heaven. The inspired ponnman summed it all up in a few words—" With contcnimcnt thore is a great gain."
The agricultural life, said Mr. Q, is one em¬ inently adapted to produce human happiness and virtue. But ho should despise no other calling. Despise not the wealth of the mer¬ chant. It has been earned at a cost which is impossible lo estimate. \Vhile the farmer rests quietly afier his day of loil, the sh^epofthe merchant is disturbed by overwhelming fears. Thu rewards of your labor is sure. You know I ha t so long as God's promise last?, you are safe; while he knows that a " change of timob"—the slightest interruption in the wheels of com incrce, may engulph him -.ii irrelrievnble ruin nnd bankruptcy.
Envy not the student. His pale cheek shows at what expense his knowledge is obtained.— He is shut npin Uie smoky cabinet or cloister, while you enjoy Uie pure breeze of heaven.
Envy not Uie distinguished statesman. Ilis name may be in every mouth; but envy and malice follow him. And he feels Umt should he attain the liigliest stations, ho will make hundreds of enemies for every Oliice it is in his power to bestow.
The situation of Uie Farmer is Uiat in whicb the Almighty placed his people in their doys ot comparative innocence, and to that siluation many ofliis laws refor;and when in fullness ofj time, tlio Messiah came, it was to tho shep¬ herds tlmt his advent wos announced'by a chorus of angcl.s. It has been honored as tho choice of the i;reat and good of aH ages. 11 wns chosen by tho .Mmighty for his (leople under the old dispensation, und they were the earliest recipi¬ ents of his favor under the new. Agriculture conduces to health and competence; a.id in givin'T these, it gives all this life can bestow, and, if rightly improved, Ihoy will open to him a glorious future.
