Sending at length the weary labour In me " BX.OuMI IF.LD S FAKMCR'3 BCT. We have now reached the shortest day- of the year, and every thins? stands in striking; contrast with ttic iung bright days of June.— We have hare, desolate hianei.es, for the sen of living? jireeii ; a robe cf snow on every lield, fo£ the verdant turf ; sheeted ice on ev ery stream and lake, for the ri;>|)!in<? waters ; eloud and storm, for the sonny ski s of Sum mer. Nature hTds us pause and look back over the vanished months. It is a time to cum up the results of the year, not only to square business accouuts with our feiiow men, but to sit iu judgment upon our own relations to the soil, and to society. One's manhood is measured quite as much by his farming, as by the offices he tilis, bv hi? plowing and sowing, by his building and adorning, as by his speech ! making and voting. We may measure cur eelves quite as wi.il by the plowshare as by the badge of official place. A Justice cf the Peace may lie greatly wanting in justice toward his soil. A deacon may be unrighteous toward | his farm and stock. A militia colonel may be cowardly and inglorious upon his own acres, A governor may tolerate al! sorts of insubor. dination and bad citizenship among the sub jeets of his farm. Weeds may grow rampant and waste the riches cf his soil in riotous liv ing. Goodness and greatness in our relations to society, do not imply these virtues in rela tion to the acres that are given us to be sub-1 dued, cultivated, and beautified. We can not very well divert onr minds from ! . this theme now. The clod is frozen, an ! the ! plow will not turn it. Al! the implements ol , husbandry have gone into Winter quarters. — The lloeks, the trees, the shrubs, the grasses, | are all hybernating. We cat: do little out o! doors to advantage now, but we can do a large business within, in these brie I days of Winter, i The weather shuts us up to self communion and to reflection upon the events of the past, j The W ir.ter with icy fingers seems to interro gate every tiiler of the soil, what sort of farm er art thou ? What sort of virtues does your business develop? A man's business has some thing to do with his character, but the princi ples on which lie conducts it, have much more to do with it. . Yoa have reavlted another stage in life's journey, aud bare time to cousider what tour bus ae-? and your mode of munug icg it, are doing for yoa. Are yea a wise man, tested by your business capacity? In the good old times when we were boys, they used to charge us with having eyes bigger than the stomach, and the heap ol unused food upon the plate was an argument in favor ol that position, rather hard to meet. There s i. t a !•:. ? farming si owing the same kind of wisdom. The tiiler of the soil is a; t lu Lave very large cye, enppo.-ing that he adds to bis wealth as he adds to his acres. — With o: 7 e ; Jul etiott h to work tiiirtv m-r - lie buys three hundred, and Lis large I urn keeps h.m a stand, poor turn as Jong as h. lives. lie sighs tor more land, am! looks t>> this as the remedy for his poverty. The most prof.ta! i • acre that he cultivates does n it pay hint tci. ito.iurs above t:;o expense u! working it, while his neighbor of fctv acres, gets one, and sometimes two hundred dollars an acre net. Every year the large lauded proprietor but -mail cupi\;!i.st, comes out with little or nothing beyond world: g c.v' nscs, and this gives a sad eo! ring to ids wlicde life. He suc ceeds in notid.ig that he nlttinpts. I-ii, - passion for more land, when we cave not tu rn cans to i : a litll •we 1, wl-e? I-. tin re. ,i --ey related to one of these large landholders and poor farmer- ? Mow is a good time to vindicate your reputation for wisdom ; to sell off your unused acres anc. to turn over a new leaf in hu>bu: dry. Are you a just man? You received so; te twenty years ago, perhaps, a good farm. It j was in gobd heart then, making fifty bushels of corn, thirty bushels of wheat, and two or three hundred ct potato: s tj u. acre, without much manure. Possibly this farm has rim down un der your management, so tout it docs not pro duce half the quantity of products, or carry half the stock it did, ulmu it lirsl came into your possession. It has been over cropped jtud under manured, so that of neci -ity it !;as given out. You will say the farm was yours, and you have a right to do what yon will with your own. But your horse is your own, yet you have no right to abuse hitn. Your house is your own, hut you have KO right to set fire to it. Cruelty to brutes, and arson are e: lines recognized in the civil code. 'The soil, of course, has no sensibilities, but it may be abused neeer'heless. It is combustible", and if you have reduced its productive capacity one half, you have really burnt up your farm, as if you had touched it with a match. You have sold off" hay, or consumed it upon your lurm, without saving the manure of your stock. The hay, corn and other vegetable produc s took quantities of carbonaceous matter from the soil, ami it has been dissipated in the atmosphere, through the lungs of the animals that consumed it. The process has been slow, but it has really been burnt up and scattered to the four winds through your agency.— American Agriculturist. A PCI.PIT ANECDOTE. —Some days since we chanced to be in company with several emi nent divines, who were relating numerous amusing anecdotes of the pulpit Among others, the following struck our fancy us out deserving of record : " I was," sr.'d the reverend gentleman, at tending divine service in M'orfolk, several vcars ago, during a season of some excitement While the officiating clergyman was in the ra'dst of a most interesting discussion, an old lady among tiie congregation arose, clapped her hands, and exclaimed : "Merciful father, if 1 had one more feather in mv wing of faiih I wouid fly off to glorv.'' i The worthy gentleman thus interrupted im mediately replied : ''Good Lurd, stick it in, and let her go; she's but a trouble here ! That quieted the old lady. ONE of the most important, but one of the most difficult things for a powerful mind is to be its own master. Mii.erva should alwnts be at hand, to restrain Achilles from blindly following his impulses and appetites, even those which are moral and intellectual, as will as those which are anhnul and sensual. A pood may lie quiet in u ; 1 ;• ] u fc e xvauts mountains to compass and hold It in. jj&fsrrtUtttfjms. jlusqurbaiiua Collegiate Institute, TOIVAXDA, BRA WORD &€>., PA. FACULTY : OLIVER S. DEAN.
