Farming and the Professions. Our city is fast filling np %AIM young men, mostly from the country, and at many instances the sons of fa-Mers, to eider upon the study of medicine.— While we sincerely believe there are no better medical schools in the Union than those in this city, and that nowhere can a medical education be more perfectly or more cheaply obtained than at the Philadelph .8 colleges, yet we think those young Men make a mistaken estimate of the true nobility of profession, in n'iantionitig, the culture of the soil for the pursuit of arty of the " lezimed profes%ions." All honest toil is honorable and dignified just in proportiiM a• it answers the necessities of man, and wide to human comfort and indepenilenctl. • The tiller of the soil, therefore, ranks lirs:l--he is the king of laborers, for tile soil provides fOr the first and greatest necessities, food and raiment. The farmer, standing in his furrow, is more substantially a king than he who sits on a regular throne, and de: lenktts fir ..:$ &lily hread or the ti ler of the The first independent ;he creates for Itimself.

The young man who leaves she fa - mfield for the merchant's desk, or the law• yerts or doctor's office, thinking to dignify or en sioLte his toll, makes a sail mistake. He passes by that step from independence to vassalage, lie barters a natural for an artificial pursuit, and he nust be the shire of the cap re of customers and chi cane of ha le, caber to snp ir imselt or acquire a 1 1 ,ruite.
