Jarm, FARMERS— ENGLISH AND AMERICAN bt geobge wiluam ccrtis. We make the following extracts from an address by that liberal gentleman, and accom r.liehed scholar, George William Cnrtis, be fore an agricultural society in Massachu setts:— I said the story of the farmer, the actual farm laborer, is a hard, sad tale, England is a garden, English agriculture is a fine art. It is the most exquisite and finished in the world Bat nine hundred years ago in England, the farm laborer was a slave, and to-day he is the most ignorant and wretched man upon that island. Bat crossing the sea in the path of the 1 il grims we leave that wretchedness behind. Going from the gray shore to the green inte rior, we pass onward from the soft and placid valley of the Connecticut, over the shaggy hills of Berkshire and the spacious basin of the Hudson, through the broad and beautiful fields of Mohawk and the western New York, until we stand rejoicing upon the prairies: the granary of the continent, the paradise of far ming population which has feit all the won derful impulse of the modern improvements; a region of cheap books, of agricultural schools, magazines, papers and libraries. Everywhere we see the farmer multiplying his hands a hundred fold by canning ma chine*. In the last eight years before the war, more than two hundred different patents for mowers and reapers alone, were granted in the United States.—and the farmers can do twice as much work with the same number of teams and men, as they could fitly years ago. We pass through a nation of small proprietors, cultivating their own land: mana ging tbeir own town, county, State and na tional affairs: the happiest and most prosper ous farming population in the worid, who are free themselves, and the great bulwark of freedom upon this continent. But while this is unquestionably true, there is another Tiew. Fine agriculture is still a theory rather than a practice. Agricultural labor is probably, upon the whole, less well paid than any other. Few young men aspire to be great farmers. A leading agricultural paper confesses regretfully that "country life is not attractive to those who cultivate the earth:" and the road to wealth and ease that lies through a farm, seems to those who are not actually obliged to journey that way, like Jord&D, a hard road to travel. While this is true of the farmer, how is it with the farmer's wife, for the position and character of woman is always the measure of civilization ? In the oldest English book upon fanning Judge Fitz Herbert says: "It is the wife's occupation to winnow all man ner of corn, to make malt, to wash and wring to make hay, to shear corn, aud in time of need to help her husband fill the muck-wain (or dung carts.) to drive the plough, to load corn, hay and such other; and to go or ride to the market to sell butter, cheese, milk, eggs, chickens, capons, hens, pigs, geese, and all manner of corn." The good Judge forgets to mention one other most important occupa tion of the wife, which she is expected to add to all these, and that is to bear and rear chil dren; a duty which in New England she faith fully perforins. But as I read these words of more than three hundred years ago, I think of many and many a aad-eyed woman I have known in solitary country homes who seemed never to have smiled, who struggled with hard hands through melting heat and pinching cold, to hold back poverty and want that hovered like wolves about an ever increasing floci of children. How it was scour in the mourning aud scrub at night, and scold all day long! How care blurred the window like a cloud hiding the lovely landscape. How anxiety gnarled at her heels, dogging her like a cur! How little she knew or cared that bobolinks drunk with blithe idleness, tumbled and sang in the meadows below, that the earth was telling the time of year with flowers in the woods above. As I think of these things, of this solitary incessant drudgery—of the taci turn husband coming in heavy with sleep— too weary to read, to talk, to think,—l do not wonder that the mad houses are so richly recruited from the farm houses, as the statis tics show, —that the farmer's daughter hangs enchanted over stories in the weekly paper of the handsome Edward Augustus, with white hands and black eyes,—nor that the farmer's son hears the city bells that long ago rang to W bittington. "Turn again, Whittington, lord mayor of London," ringing to him as he pauses inthe furrow.—"Turn again, plowboy, j millionare and merchant!" Now what is the reason that agriculture, the most necessary work in the world' and which employs, as we saw, two-tbirds of its inhabitants: without which the race perishes and the world ends; which, in fls very charac ter, should be the nurse of robust health aud sterling virtues, and by its conditions decora ted with all the glory and grace of nature — has advanced so slowly? Ignnanceand consequent negligence are the reasons usually offered; and undoubtedly there is more jealousy cf what is called book farming in this country than there should be among an intelligent people. But a man who has inherited a mortgaged farm and almost a mortgaged life who must support his family and pay his debts out of his reluctants, for acres cannot afford to try experiments, for the loss of a crop may entangle him beyond recovery. The books that tempi him are therefore objects of suspicion and jealousy, and at last he settles down defiantly into the sullen assertion that his father's way is good enough for him, and so struggles aud stag nates in his fhuther's way, and at last be. queaths the same destiny to his son, who, on his fathers starving land, has been dreaming of fat prairies and western river bottoms, as the old Spaniards dreamed of the golden In dies, until bound by no love to a spot where he has only warded off starvation, he erai - J grates to fields which waste and ignorance cannot soon destroy. But while there is undoubtedly this jeal ousy of what is contemptuously called book farming by its better name of science and ex perience, is becoming more and more essen tial to the American farmer and to the com mon prosperity. For with our rapidly in creasing population, and the probability stated with great force by Col. Gilpin, that our western movement has now reached the bmit of our strictly agricultural territory— the great plains of Missouri being from their natural and inevitable dryness, rather pastor al taan arable regions—our agriculture can no longer depend wholly npon the depth of of the prairiee, but must look to deepening Jn llg OWQ knowledge- To the farmer of few acres, knowledge is capital. Science makes ten acres a hundred; and more science makes them a thousand. en *nty tarmers, owning together two thousand acres, know the value of a machine which couid do the work for all, and none could individually buy, then they know and can do and w, do all that the single proprietor of two thousand acres can do; and instead of one great proprietor, that country baa twenty small proprietors with a direct interest in its •character and prosperity such as nothing else confers. The farmer may say that he has no time to do what he believes must be done. Let the farmer understand that ignorance is the bulwark of despotism, and that despotism decrees the slavery of the farmer, —and he trill find time to defend himself. Bnt beneath all other reasons of the his torical condition of the farmer is the funda mental reason, and that is the feudal or aristocratic principle, which has always pre vailed in various forms in every country, and which oppresses the farmer most of all. It is a theory that God made a little of his bnman clay into porcelain vases to hold the dizzy wine of exclusive power, but the most of it into common crockery for base uses: a theory that the many are made for the few, or, as Voltaire defined it in government, "it is the art of making two thirds of a nation pay all it possibly can pay for the benefit of the other third." This system is the four-fold enemy of the farmer. First, it distributes all the land to a few proprietors. Second, to those few propri etors it gives exclusive political power. Third, it degrades labor by making the laborer wholly dependent upon those few; and fourth, it fos ters their ignorance that tbey may be willing slaves. In a word, tljg aristocratic system gives political power to the land and the land to the few. The popular system divides the land and derives political power from man hood. What is the result of the aristocratic system npon the general welfare, and es pecially upon the farmer? Look at Eenglarid. The united kingdom is composed ot 78,000,- 000 acres of iand and has nearly 30,000,000 inhabitants. Thirty thousand persons own all the land, and the English school system is worst of any civilized country. What follows? Mr. Olmstead, in his most valuable and delightful book, "The Walks and Talks of an American Farmer in England," says : "I did not see in Ireland, or in Germany, or in France, nor did I ever see among our negroes or Indians, or among the Chinese or Malays, men whose tastes were such mere instincts, and whose mode of life was so low, 1 so like domestic animals altogether—as these farm laborers." He spoke of them to an intel'igent radical, who replied; "we are not used to regard that class in forming a judge ment of national character, and yet it is probably the largest class in England." The wisest English statesmen agree that the root of the Irish difficulty is the land ten ure. They will presently see that it is the root of the English difficulty, and that Eng land is in constant danger so long as 30, 000 proprietors own the soil of the country. They will soon question the right of the Marquis of Bredaib&ne to turn sheep walks into game preserves: and unless some method of increas ing the ownership of land is adopted, per haps by re-distributing taxation so that the land will be sold to escape the heavy burden, the proprietorships will be abolished in Eng land, as they were in Frauce, by civil convul sion. pPmrnflnrng.

MR. SHORT says the only thing he can pay these times is his addresses to the ladies: and these he never allows to get overdue.

The ass eats thistles and uettles. the sharpest ot food and is the dullest of animals. SOME one truly says, the best way for a man to train up a child in the way it should go, is to travel that way sometimes himself. WHY do men so often suffer their pockets to be picked in the street cars and elsewhere ? Is it because a fellow feeling makes us won drous kind?" SAID A MEMBER of .church to another, "I can give five dollars to this object and not feel it." —"Then," said his compaion, "give ten and feel it." "I'M AERAIU you'll come to want," said an old lady to a young gentleman. "I have come to want already," replied the young man, "I want your daughter." "I WISH YOB would pay a little attention to what I am saying, s : r," roared an irate lawyer at an exasperating witness. "Well, I am paying a3 little as I can," was the calm reply. A louse FOB about starting down to New Orleans, proposed to purchase a life pre server. "Ob, you'll not want it," suggested the clerk; "bags of wind won't sink." THE Turks have some odd sayings. You'll not sweeten your mouth by saying "honey." If a man would live in peace, he should be blind, deaf and dumb. Do good and throw it into the sea. If the fish know it nut, the Lord will. Two Kansas boys were sent out to purchase a watermelon, and as they were bringing it home said one to the other, "Don't let it fall, Billy, 'cos if it breaks we'll have to eat it right here and can't take any home." Billy guessed it wouldn't fall; but it did. WHEN the Abbe de Matignon was at his uncle's the Bishop of Lisieux, he was shown the cathedral, and his guide told him it was built by the English. "Ah," said he, with au air of contempt, "I could easily tell that it was not made here!"

DAVY CROCKETT. —Davy happened to be present at an exhibition of animals, in the city of Mi ashington, where a monkey seemed to attract his particular regard, and he ab stractedly observed: "If that fellow bad on a pair of spectacles, he would look like Major Wright, of Ohio." The Major happened to be just behind Crockett, and tapped him on the shoulder. Turning round Davy very formally remark ed: "I'll be hanged if I know whose pardon to ask, yours or the monkey's!" ASKING TOO MICH. —A young couple were sitting together in a romantic spot, with birds and flowers about them when the following dialogue ensued: 'My dear, if the sacrifice of nay life would please thee, gladly would I lay it at thy feet." "Oh, sir; you're too kind. But it just reminds me that I wish you would stop using tobacco." Can t think of it. It s a habit to which I am wedded." "Very well, sir. Since this is the way you lay down your life for me, and as you are already wedded to tobacco, I 'll take good care that you are never wedded to me, as it would be bigamy.' ENDURE A LIVING DEATH? The confirmed dyspeptic may almost say with St. Peter, "I die daily." The object of this arti cle is not to remind him of his pangs, but to show him how to banish them forever. The means of immediate and permanent relief are proffered him in HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS, And it is for him to say whether he will continue to endure a living death, or to put himself in a position to render life enjoyable.
