(£r The life of the farmer, ‘rightly understood, is the most -dignified andJndopendent ol all other pursuits in our country* The distinction between him end ell other persons is, that he is directly dependent (or hia property endsuccess on the favor end smile of Providence, while ell others aro dependent on the favor and patronage of man; the farmer, therefore, has ,a mors constant and recarring appeal 1 made to him,..to lean on the atm of Him who rules and controls ell things, than others. Recar for a moment to tbo beginning of this high vocation. When pod created this great world, all' the things that are ijrit and upon it, and pronounced thcW good, llo created: man and woman, male and female, gave'to them power over all t lhe earth. Ho hade them to multiply and replenish the earth and. to subdue it. IIo created man 'upright, and while he was required to dress the garden-in'which he was placed, jet the earth spontaneously produced every fruit which was necessary for his comfortable and happy existence. Thus Adam, onr great ancestor, in hts days of Jpurity and innocence, was a gardeiicr. In that condition there was no death, and consequently, no diseases and no sorrows.
