ed on lue advancement ot agriculture

if tne people were half as ambitious to improve and beautify their li-.dd, a as they are to settle the nation; and half as angry with ihisllcs, thorns and poor fences, as they are with their political opponents, who probably wish as well to the country as themselves, wc should have more productive fields, less complaint of poverty, more ability to be chaiitahle and munificent, and abundantly moie good feeling. From Pittsburgh to New Oileeiis, the son ploughs as his father did before him. and the great mass of farmers are as stationary in theory as they are in practice. Nine in ten of them believe at this moment, that book farming is the mere useless visionary dreaming of men that know nothing about practical agriculture. We shou Id toll them that England is the garden of Europe, simply because every acre of ground is cultivated scientifically, and on the most rigid and exact experiment. We would tell them that New England, of hose soil

and climate they are accustomed to think as consigned by providence to

sterility and inclemency, is the garden of the United States, only because the

industrious and calculating- people do

not throw away their efforts in the ex

ertion of mere brute strength but

bring mind and plain system and ex perience to bear upon their naturally hard and thankless soil.

Oa every side the passing traveller sees verdure, grass, orchard-, in the

small and frequent inclo.-nres of imper

ishable rock, and remarks fertility, won

from the opposition of the elements and

nature. After an absence ot ten

years, on our return to that country,

we were struck with tins proud and

noble triumph conspicuous, over lh whole regie p.

merce and manufactures are only subordinate results of this main spring. We consider ague allure as everv

way subsidary not only to abundance, industry, and health, but to good morals, and ultimately even to religion. We shall always say and sing, 'Speed the plough.' Ve shall always regard the American farmer, stripped to his employment, and tilling his ground?, as

SM.VLI, JIATTKI'S. These are the veiy things about which farmers in general are far too negligent. The great things are al-

mow to pay for a thousand shingles,

and the expense ot putting them on in the bargain. A rail fallen from the top of the fence, a board knocked off the gate, a hole made under the fence bv the nips, are also among the small

matters, that too many farmers pass by as unworthy of notice. Yet when he gets up seme fine morning, and finds his herds pasturing in his wheat, occasioning the loss of some half a dozen head when lie sees some unlucky stroller in tiie highway take advantage of the defect in his gate and demolish the remainder and when he finds that his pigs have destroyed half an acre of potatoes, and made a feast of his garden I 1 .1 I I M J I " - I. C

vcelaotcs, men ne oegins 10 uiiuk uvt

minutes spent in preventing such acci-

lents, springing from pure carelessness,

would be belter than a week spent in

emedvinsr or rejrreltinsr them. The

- a o o

man who never pavs attention to sma

matters, is precisely one of those whosut-

fers most from unruly cattle and horses,

who spends the most money in paying,

and the most time in repairing, darna

ges, and who will, unless he turns over

a new leaf, most assuredly find that the

whole cannot be greater than the parts,

and that he is running on a rock

which has been the ruin of thousands

There are other small matters not so

intimately connected perhaps with suc

cess in farming as those we have hmtec

tbove, yet which are equally, and per

haps more indispensable to the rea

comfort of the farmer. The mode of

liie w hich a man leads in his family

the manner in which the articles lie

provides for the use of his family an

disposed of the training and educa

tiou of his children and the taste he

requires and cultivates, may be num

bered among these. Separately they

arc too generally considered of little

consequence, vet united as their inllu

ence is, and must be, to be right in

these things is very important.

The appearance of the farm dwel

ling, t he skill shown in planning, and the

ta-te m embellishing, are often ranked among the small matters of ihe farmer. Too many seem to imagine, that the farmer has no business with any thing but the plough and the hoe that it is of no consequence whether his taste, and his moral and intellectual qualities are properly cultivated and trained, forgetting that in the farming population resides the government that they in reality make and unmake Governors and Presidents and that as thy arc well or ill informed, so will their conduct be judicious or injurious. Planting a tree for ornament or for use a rose bush for its fragrance and its beauty the lilac and the snowball

for their agreeable appearance the d of lravberries for the gratification

oe paiue training me clematis or the bitter-sweet over the windows to

temper the light and refresh the mind

by their vivid green and waving foliage, are all ranked among the small

m uters by many farmers, and the few

minutes required to accomplish all

hi-, is deemed by such time thrown

way. Oa the contrary, we think these

vi ry things as of great consequence;

every tree and shrub planted adds to

the value of the (arm, (or there are few men so insensible to natural beauty as not to be willing, in purchasing a farm, to nay something-extra for its gratifica

tion: and no idea of agricultural comfort can be formed, in which some, or all of these tilings, do not make a part. Wealth is composed of parts of dollars the longest life of seconds happiness of single sensations and the prosperity of the farmer very much depends on the strict observance of small matters. Dr. Franklin's advice was to lakecare of the pence, and the pounds, as a matter of course, would take care of themselves. Gcncscc Farmer.

A SCRAP FOR DEBATING SOCIETIES. At a debating club not far off, the question was discussed, whether there is more happiness in the possession or pursuit of an object? and was decided

no doubt in favor oi tne lonowing:

"Mister President," said the orator,

spose I was courtin' a gal, and she

was to run away, and 1 was to run arter her, would'nt I be happier when I

coiched her than when 1 was runnin' artcr her?"'

Seeming Death. A man lately died . c- i :

in Brussels Oil a oauiruay evening.

The bodv was laid out with the usual

ceremonies, and on Monday was pla

ced in a coffin. As they were about to

screw down the lid of the cofhn, the

man awoke from his lethargy and cal

led for his coffee and newspaper.

An old farmer who resides a short distance from Toledo, while in the act of adding more fuel to the fire, actually put a chunk of wood with spectacles on, in his arm chair, and then threw himself on the fire for a back log!

wed to engross

the whole time and

care, while the important fact that eve ry tiling great is composed of parts, is wholly overlooked. If the parts are taken care of, the whole is safe; but a neglect of items frequently causes serious or total loss. It is the neglect of Email matters in firming that makes such an annual reduction in the profits of the farm; and more agriculturists fail of securing competence in consequence of this fault than any other, or perhaps all olheis put together. A few kernels of chess, or a huh: smut in

your seed wheat, are small matters of

themselves, nut tne intl ience they exercise on the crop is generally a serious affair; ye t too many deem their presence so small a matter, that an hour or two of ( inning and liming U couMd'Ted as time thrown away. A shingle from lite roof of t lie barn is a small matter, so small that many farmers think it unworthy of notice, yet that shingle opens a dice through which the rain falls on the wheat or the hay, and does sufficient damage in the

Anecdote. 'Whatever is just is honorable.' Manual labor is esteemed at the South, disgraceful. A circumstance showing to what an extent this sentiment prevails among slaveholders, recently occurred. A student from one of the Southern Stales, in the Theological Seminary at Andover, Mass., had purchased some wood,aud was exceedingly embarrassed at being unable readily lo obtain some one to saw it for for him. IIe wont to professor Stuart to inquire what he should do in so unfortunate a predicament. The learned Professor replied that he was in want of a j b himself, and he would saw it for him!
