ADDRESS OF JOHN F.BHADY.ESOl.. Before the Franklin Co. Agriculture al Society, Juno 2, 1855. Mr, rrtsMcnt, awl members of tht J'Vanllla County jj. Soeitli. For Iii reo bucccsmvo year I liavo cngngi'd in, und watched over tlio deliberations of your eocicty, nrl during all that period, I fane to myself, that tlio buainvas of tho kocicty wits coaducted in the wny beat calculated to promoto her intercut, nnd ndvimco tho cnuito of tho fiirucr nnd Mechanic, generally. Hut no sooner, however, did I forego tho pleasure of meeting with you, on but one occasion, than 1 Cnd your proceedings inarLcd with ono act, which to mo appears rather inconsiderate, nnd that U, the appointment of one, so utterly incompetent as myself, to address you on this occasion. Thoso of you, whohnvo stood associated with mo in tho discharge, of tho duties devolving upon us ns oifictri of our society, rvust Nurely have learned, ere this, that I neither possess tho tact, u or claim the ability, of delivering, even a common placo addres rauch less, o.io worthy the attention ard consideration of tho farmers and tueclraics of ourcourty. Under such impressions, I presume ?'ou will deem it no marvel, why I eel so ranch diffidence in appearing before yoa in tho attitude, I now ,a,id; knowing, as I verily do, my inability to instruct or profit you, on tho present occasiioii. I profess, however, to belong to, nnd trust I tttand associated with that class of individuals, recognizing tho potency or importance of the small word Ttir;and shall therefore claim your attention for a brief space of time, while I hope to bo able to present a few thoughts, which may at least servo as a pass-time, if nothing more. Having spent my life, thus far, upon a farm, is of itself sufficient to justify me in callhjj your attention to such subjects in connnexion therewith ns may present themselves to my mind. In order to bo a successful fariver, it is highly requisite to have a good farm, and if comfort is sought nfter, that faiui should not be too largo. Many are tho evils growing out of the natural propensity for acquiring largo possessions, particularly, where nn individual is ambitious to add farm to farm, without any inclination to improve and properly cultivate the firms thus acquired. That community made up of individuals owning from 80 to 160 acres of land each, possesses infinite advantages overother districts of country, where the land is in the possession of but a comparitive few of the settlers. I presume most, if not nil, now present hare a home, nnd that home, generally apcaking, is composed of a tract of land, of sufficient size to constitute what is usually termed a farm. It is ore thing however, to bo in possession of a fa m, aad another, to improve and enjoy it, as we may do, and as I have frequently been led to believe duty requires wo should do. By wny of contrait accompany me for a few moments to yon two farms, the one on tho left, the other on the right of the ro.id. These farms have been in the immediate possession, and under the control of their present owners for the a ä) last twenty years: are ol equal size, and the roil and natural advantages, about the same. As you approach tho one on the left, you readily per ceive its uncomely appearance. .Not one square field to bo seen, not scaicely one good pannel ollence; lew buildings and those of an inferior quality, and in quite a dilapidated condition; no garden deserving the same, nor fruit of any kind, save a few worthless apples which occasionally grow on those scrubby trees, that have nuracu-! lously escaped the jaws of the hungry animals; few bars and their condition such as to render them useless, and not one gate on the premises. Another view presents to you, that unsight ly run, with those wet marshy places on either side, which render quite n large portion of two fields unproductivej and disagreeable to farm; ns nlso, you havo before you, nature's plan of furnishing blackberries, elder ber ries, and such other things, as usually spring up and grow in fence corners, around stumps, along runs, ic. Wc shall let tho cursory view we have now taken, suffice for the present and pass over the way to the farm on the rifflit At first view, symmetry and order appear visible in every direction. Tho arrangement of the farm is such as to add materially to every natural advantage; fences good; fields square; the requisite numbers of buildings skillfully construced nnd judiciously arranged; a good garden pruperly enclosed, and prudently cultivated; fruit trees of various kind, embracing the apple, pear, peach, plum, cherry. tke, all of which bear tho mark. of prudent cultivation and are found to produce tho most valuable fruit of the different species. Bars or gates are alfound in sufficient numbers to serve as an entrance to each field or lot, and each in such order as to render them truly valuable and convenient. The V t 1 1 . run wnicu passeu in inmost every direction through yon farm also continues its course through this, but how different in appearance, instead of the unsightly view there manifest, we here behold a beautiful stream of water gliding swiftly along a straight ditch, and each marshy place is ren dered highly productive by means of undiT drains properly connected therewith. As a matter of course you would scarcely expect to feast much upon wild fruits produced on such farm as tLis,.nor will you; because rrei .. I' ll M tuer oner, eiuer, nor busii oi any kind is to bo seen on all the premises. The great contrast in the manage-
(mcntoftho two farms U nmiAy sudi cicnt to justify tho inquiry, why is it I
cient to justify tho inquiry, why so? and by your consent wo will yet tarry long enough to become fully initiated into the secret. As luck will havo it, Mr. A., just approaches nnd signifies his willingness to answer such question ns m:iy bo propounded lo him, by which I foci authorized to inquire, 1st, How many it ere a of land do you own in thi.i tract? i'120,M answered Mr. A. ttud. "How long ineu you planted out yon thrifty orchard?" "Twenty years," replied Mr. A. "and bv your permission I'll just here add that, I purchased this farm, twenty years ago last spring, not then knowing whether I should continue it ns a permanent residence for mysclfor not. I immediately, however, sot about preparing for an orchard, and spared no reasonable pains in procuring a good selection of fruit trees, fully conscious that if I never enjoyed any fruits therefrom, my labors would be duly npprecirted by those who might succeed mo on tho farm." 3d. What is your opinion in referenco to tho most proper sizo for a farm where comfort, society, &c. is taken into account?" "With 20 years experience, I am led tobclievo that faruis, raaging in sizo from 00 to ICO acrt s each, are best adapted to carry out and subserve the objects abovo contemplated, and let tho farm be large or small, I deem it tho duty of all persons to try, and make their homes as comfortable, and ns attracting as possible while they continuo to occupy them" We have thus arrived at some of tho motives which piomptt'd our friend A. in the coarso he has pursued, and learned from him, this iinportnnt lessson, that contentment is a rich boon indeed, leaving behind it manjr traces worthy our consideration. We shall now return by way of our neighbor on the left, nnd ascertain from him the true cause which has led to tho present condition of his firm. Says neighbor B: "I purchased thid farm, twenty years since, and moved on il immediately, thinking it was largo enough to answer my purpose. I soon found however that 1'20 acres of land was not enough to constitute a comfortable farm: and hence I became rather dissatisfied, and soon came to tho conclusion, to cither purchase nn additional tract ofl:;nd, or eil and remove away neither of which I have yet accomplished." Well sir. I suppose your frequently meet with neighbor A. just yonder lo the right, and doubtless have often conversed with him upon the subject. "O yes, wc have frequent interviews together, ani indeed to tell the p! tin truth, I like very much to visit that neighbor often, for it rare indeed that I find him without the choicest of fruit, and that is such a luxury to me; nnd by the by ho is always ready to share with a neighbor." "I understand you to say that you arc fond of fruit, then how comes it that you. have so little prospect of fruit, after a residence of twenty years, on the 6am3 promises. "Well, as I have already intimated my farm is so small, as to offer but few inducements, forme to stay here, nnd in all probability if I was to go to the expense of pulling out an orchard here, I should not realize any of the fruit, which' to mo would be truly mortifying. I frankly confess, however, that I almost envy the situation of neighbor A. at times, and not unfrequently feelt i regret that fortune hrd not placed within my reach a larger farm when I first started out in the world." We have thus pursued our inquiries far enough to unswet our purpose for the present, and shall therefore return ng;iin to consider a few things which above nil others appear to claim our attention. Home, ia the strict sense of the .vord should r.lways possess more or less chaiins to every individual, nnd that person who can spend a life time without being attracted with some objects'around him, surely fails to enjoy the pleasures of life, and but illy tills up his place in the world. I hold, that whether farmers or mechanics, lawyers or doctors, we are alike under obligation 13 do all that is reasonably within our power, to promoto tho happiness of our families, and make home as attractive as possible. To do this, reqires not only our attention, but our lubor and council; and he who would in tho least feel degraded to be caught at labor, most generally f.üls lomiiku hia family contented und happy I am well aware thnt labor has been regarded by some as dishonorable, in all ages of the world; but, that those false impres sions should bo gaining ground in this our ony, is iruiy moruiyiDg 0 mC, and I verily helicvo should bo to every well-wished of tht. young and rising generation. ask, why should the farmer and mechanic be looked upon as rather degrutled beings, nnd their sons nnd daughters regarded as un worthy the society nnd friendship of a portion oi community, wlnle indeed I were it Pot for them, this beloved America would soon be shorn of the many charms 6hc now possesses, nnd become a byword and reproach for other nations. I maintain, therefore, that labor is honorable, and should be regarded so by even American citizen Not only so, but I verily believe it io De tue üuty ol all able-bodied persons to employ themselves! in sorno way, that at least a portion of tueir time may De devoted to the main tenance of themselves or family. I detm it tho duty, and feel truly to urge upon every parnut the necessity of training up their families to indusinous nauus. .ue sure and impress upon tho mind of your children the ii re at importance of knowing how a! to work, and tho necessity of bcquiring that knowledge while" voun" nnd such favorable opportunities offer. Friendly hearer, have you then a farm, be not ashamed to labor, for
vcrilj if you are tlio facts will noon! bo known to nil around you. ltcstfts-l
sured, the calling and pcrauit of the farmers require industrious habits; frequently claiming, not only exercise of tliought, but the best judgement of tho mind; and nothing short of due dilli'H'ncc and care will me from waste certain porlioaa of alrioat every cro t .N'eur turn your attr ition to Any o ject nor engage) in any pursuit, whatever, unless those things have been well matured, and give full evidence of being worthy of such attention: then be sure and commence in tho right way, at the proper season, and prosperity will most likely attend you in all your undertakings. If your farm is new and but partly cleared up, you must expect to labor under many diacou.agements nnd disadvnntagcs; but do not despair and conclude your farm is too suall, until at leaat you have fully tested your alacrity to properly cultivate and manago a larger ono. Your mind has already been directed to yon two farms, you have witnessed the situation of each of them, and learned from their propriotors the causws which have led to the contrast so visible, even to tho most careful observer. Now whither of tho two will you pattern after; tho ono on tho left, who is continually lamenting his bad fortune in not having a larger fnrm, when indeed tho one he now possesses presents such a poor stato of cultivation ; or of the ono on tho right, who manifests such contentment, nnd gives full evidenco of tho sincerity of his declaration that it is "the duty of all persons to try and make their homes as comfortablo and attracting as possible." I trust each of you are prepared nnd ready to say "I would most cheerfully pattern after neighbor A., on the right, could I but gain tho requsite information to enable me to beautify and iroprovo my farm as he has done.' Tho desire of tho heart and consent of the mind beinx now obtained, shall wo not scrutemze moro closely the manner in which our fiiend, on the right, transacts all his business. Reecollect, the farm was purchased twen ty years since, and yon thrifty and beautiful orchard almost instantly planted out; a fact worthy the remembrance and imitation of every land holder. The acquisition of fruit is not the work of a day, month or year; nnd hence, tho great necessity of erabiacing the earliest opportunity of putting out orchard: and while engaged in the business, bo sure and procure the best selection of fruit, possible; and I would add, plant the trees rather fur ther apart than lecommended by my friend, A.

Again we see in the arrangemet and fencing of the farm something worthy our attention, tach field seems per fectly square, and if you observe closely you cannot butdiscover how straight tne fences appear, and none of them lam up with less than 4 l-Z leet worm; in addition to which, we must not fail to examine this substantial and convenient gate. See. it swings freely and occupies just the place that makes it mCst convenient. If we had time we would be pleased to make nn estimate of the savt-iug of labor produced by this one gate in the course of a year; but as other tilings claim our at tention we must pass on. Do you sec yon beautiful stream of water? it is but a continuance of the same run that looks so bad on yon farm, on the left, which has been ren dered thus pleasant by means of one open drain, together with some short undergrains. Upon examination it will be found that there are several underdrains on the premises which effectually carries off the water from various wet and marshy places and fully prepares the ground for success ful and profitable cultivation. The spring is now done, and corn, oats and flax is in the ground. From the appearance of the oats and flax one would readily judge that the ground had been neatly broken up and the seed evenly sown, after which it received but one harrowing, and that in lands just as the ground was plowed, and while the same yet remained fresh. The corn also appears to good ad vantage, and those straight and evenly laid of rows will be found quite con venient in tending the crop, nnd also when the gronnd is again to be broken up next Spring. Upon examination, tue buildings arc found to be substantial in their construction, and admirably adapted to the purposes intended; affording alike comfort nnd convenience. Tho garden, too, has not been neglected, nor do you hear one intimation that it is an unprofitable appendage to a farm. Those ever-greens, also, appear beautiful to the bight, and are so well calculated during winter's blasts, to remind us of the beauties of spring, when all nature will again standdresscd in its living green. W have now examined the premises moro minutely nnd I trust you feel disposed to imitate the example rather than envy the situation and good lortune ot our friend. A few words more by way of reca pitulation, and in a summary manner, and I have ...done for the present. You have already learned from me my firm belief that it is the bounded duty of all persons to engage in some pursuit at least a portion of their time. Those who elect to dis charge that duty on the farm, will always find plenty to claim attention, and happy are they who cheerfully answer to, aud punctually fulßl every in irnrrp men t. ?'!.irlv fArminrr. trenerallv sneakin?.

In order to profitable and successful cultivation we want good implements, nnd rest nssurcd that individual who is content to purchase inferior articles because they appear cheap, stands much in hia own liht; and dearly pays, for his short-sightedness. Keep a vigalant eye to your orchard, and properly prune and cultivate tho same, for nothing short of strict attention will secure our young trees from tho ravages of tho worms, which have lately made their appenranco in our vicinity. I regard them as being the most fatal to fruit trees of any thing wo have to combat with, and truly here their rar agesjhavo been much greater than as yet ascertained. All tho manure that remains yet about tho barn should bo carefully removnd and placed on the ground that you design for wheat this fall.

In short plow deep and well; secure your farm implements as much as possible from rain nnd sunshine; try and pr moto the happiness of all around you; ond whatever you attempt to do "be sure you aro right nnd then go ahead."

A It ose -Bud Provided For. A quaint old gentleman, overseer of the poor of one4of our Wards, gave the following certificate yesterday to a young woman named Carolino ltosobush, for tho admission of her infant child into the City Infirmary. Tho certificate speaks fur itself: "There is at present in our Queen City a Itoso-bush, imported in h French merchantman from France.On this Uoso-bush, at the time of her arrival on shore at New Orleans, was already visablo a Hose-bud, a subject so often taken up from the fanciful field of imagination, and used in experimental virgin poetry. From New Orleans this rosebud was transhipped to Cincinnati, the sizo of the bud in creasing considerably on tho waters of "rather Mississppu." boon after the arrival of said Kose-bush within the lijaits of our city, her clime being congenial to roses, tho Uoso-bud burst, and from its leaves leaped forth a human being that a poetess would call, pcrhans. a cupid or an an?cl. The Hose-bush being an applicant for re let, l let her answer my official ques liono as follows:" Here follows the official certificate: "Name of applicant?" Carolino Rosebush. "Age?" twenty four years. "Occupation?"' Generul house-work. "Married or single?" Single. "Number and sex cf children?" One child, a boy four months old, al ready weaned, that his mother may make her living as a servant. "Place and State of nativity?" lown of baarbourg, in r ranee. "Time of residence in this city?" Four-and-a-half months. There are other questions, but of no importance, lue certificate then goes on to say: "The applicant was seduced ' in France, by a man who promised to marry her, Instead of fulfilling his vows, the seducer left her to parts unknown to her, perhaps to the United States. A desperate resolve, based on a feeling of impossibility to bear dishonor nearj her parental fireside, made her leave her native place, where she had enjoyed a very good charac ter. So says reliable testimony of persons here, who knew her at home. WThen sheanived here all her means of living were gone.

Bnt private charity cannot be extend ed anyjlonger for the support of both mother aud child and, therefore, with the motto that Qneen Victoria so charmingly fastened around the leg of Louis Napoleon, Hon ni toll qui mal y pente, I recommend to take the home less child to the Asylum of our Infirmary.

Willie had never thought of its being necessary to have letters from his minister, or his teachers or from some proper person to prove to strangers that he was an honest and good boy. Now what thould he do. He stood in deep thought, the captain meanwhile curiously watching the workings of his expressive face. At length he put his hand into his bosom and drew out his little Dible, and without ono word put it into his hand. He opened to the blank page and read: "Willio Graham, presented as a reward for regular and punctual attendance at Sabbath School, and for his blameless conduct there and elsewhere. From his Sunday School Teacher.' Capt. McLeod was not a pious man, but he could not consider the case before him with a heart unmoved. The little fatherless child, standing humbly before him, referring him to the testimony of his Sunday School teach er, as it was given in his little bible, touched a tender spot in the breast of the noble seamen, and, clapping Wil lie heartily on tho shoulder, said: "You are the boy for me; and, if you are as good a lad as 1 think you are, your pockets shan't be empty when you go back to your mother
a Gift Horso In the Mouth. This very familiar and oft-repcated saying takes its origin from a circumstance) which occurred many years ago in the vicinity of Carlisle. Two farmers, who had been neighbors for many years, and whj had lived upon very friendly terms, mutually agreed that whichever ahould die firet should leave to the other a valuable consideration, not specifying, however, what it was to bc Tho ono was called Mai tin Timpson and the other David Dean. David was called away first, and bequeathed to Martin a favorite horse. When it was communicated to the latter, ho manifested a great dual of disappointment, and observed, that "ho did expect something belter than nn old horte." Not so old, neither," said thepsrty who had brought him tho information. A dispute now aroso about tho age, and it was agreed to go to the stable and examineit. Martin went up to the horse's head, and in tho act f opening its mouth to look at its teeth, the horso made a snatch and bit his nose off. A mortification in a few hours' ensued, and, strange to say, Martin followed David to tho grave. Hence came tho saying 'Never look a gift horso in the mouth.' Pulleyn't IJtymoloyical Compendium.

The seventh und eighth section of the hill, "to protect the rights and liberties of the pcoplo of tho Commonwealth of Massachusetts," which passed the Sanatc, provides for the punishment of all those who shall be instrumental in transmuting a freeman into a slave, whether by sending into slavery any man who has always been free, or by returning one who has escaped, or to any one to whom his "service and labor" is not "due," and to enable the alleged slave, who is injured by such unjust rendition, to recover damages therefor.

' A philosopher once asked a little girl if she had a soul. She looked up in his face with an air of astonishment and replied: "To be sure I have." What makes you think you have?' 'Because I have,' 6he promptly replied. 'How do you know?' 'Because I do know,' Ehe observed again. 'Well then,' said he, after a moment's consideration, 'if you know you have a soul, can you tell me what your soul is?' 'Why,' said she, "I am six years old, and don't you suppose that I know what my soul is?' Perhaps you do. If you will tell me, I shall find out whether you do or not.' Then you think I don't know she repled, 'but I do it is my think" Your think said the philosopher, astonished in his turn; 'who told you SO?' 'Nobody, I should be ashamed if I did not know that, without being told The philosopher had puzzled his brain a great deal about the soul, but he could not have a given a better definition of it in so few words.

Roici in Fasuion at Parib. It appears from late Paris letters that "tne fashion of wearing rough, which, for many years past, has been confined to the elderly ladies, is now revived and adopted by the youngest and fairest in the aristocratic circles, Consequently, great rivalry. hat been displayed among perl'umcis in perfecting rouge. The Incarnat de Chine and the itouge Indien, the compositions of Le Grand, are decidedly the favorites, as the least injurious to the akin, and giving the most natural and delicate color." We trust this is one of the Paris fashions which American ladies will not follow. Art" Yor Mirror. CoLxaiDOK. Mr. S.
