Farm Life a School for true Manhood.
The men who have left their mark npon the
ages in which they have livorf, have done a
preat end noble work for their race, have
been with few* exceptions, men of noble physi
cal mould. The foundation for their preatneas
and their fame was laid in the patient traininp
of their physical powers. Such a man was
Washington, and most of the worthies who
were associated with him in the strnrritle for
our liberties. Such were Cloy and Webster,
arid many of their cotemporaries in our nation
al Senate. Their early days were spent npon
the farm, and the thoughts of their declining
years were given to the improvement, and
the cultivation, and the embellishment of their
respective homesteads. Ashland and Marsh
lield will long be scenes of pilgrimage to the
husbandman as well as the patriot.
The whole tendency cf farm life is to devel
op the body ItgmUlti'uliy ami symmetrically.—
The child is not petit up in the narrow Lack
yard of a city dwelling, nor turned into the
thronged and filthy streets to pursue his sports.
His eyes open fir.-t upon preen fields and fra
grant meadows, and his first footfall out of
doers is upon the matted grass beneath the
shadowy trets of his rural home. He drinks
in health from every breeze, and all the scenes
around him call forth that playfulness which
performs so important an ofiicc in our early
training.
So this leads us to sppnk of the influence of
farm life upon the dome.-tie virtues. No oc
cupation can be more favorable to the cultiva
tion of those qualities which arc the charm of
the heme circle. The farmer is much more at
borne than is possible w.th any other men.—
How many there are in our cities w ltoonlv sec
their families at evening or on Sunday ? They
live for their business, and this, from its loca
tion, takes thens from home eariv and late.—
How maty, from the same cause, forsake
housekeeping and hud :1c into boarding houses
nnd hotels, where the e:,cim and beauty of the
family as God instituted it. is entirely lo>t ;
and the children fall undera thousand unfriend
ly influences that would never touch them
home. With the best arrangements wealth
could command in the city, it is well nigh im
possible to keep children under the influence of
their parents, so that they may have a distinct
family character, and bear the moral, as they
do the physical image of their progenitors.—
Parental influence is d ssipated >uii! the vurit d
social influences to which tiny are subjected
from their earliest days. Then what perplex
ities harmthe man of business in the city —
his capital often invested in profitless enter
prise, exposed to the depredations of disliotn st
men, betrayed, cheated and ruined by bank
rupts. From the very character of his busi
ness lie has to trust far more of his available
means to the integrity of his fellows than the
cultivator. Ilisdehts are often scattered over
a wide extent of territory, and collections are
not only exp nsive, but exceedingly uncertain.
But his commercial credit depends upon this
uncertainty, and he is often compelled to fail
back upon nothing, a ruined man.
Marks of a Cultivated Farmer.
Are von a cultivated man? Tiiis is of infi
nitely more iinj or: nice than the cultivation ~f
your acres. Are body, mind, and !. -arl duly
developed, so that all your friends know and
esteem you as something more than a farmer?
Hoes tiiis self-culture show itself in tlie adorn
inent of your home? The farmer, of all men,
lias the In-t opportunity to cultivate his taste,
and to make the most of himself as a man.—
He is daily in the school of the great Archi
tect, oiul may have, constant communion with
the fairest forms, the brightest colors, and the
sweetest sounds in Nature. The fading stars,
the purpling dawn, and the ti-ing SUM, u-iit r
in his morning, and the gorgeous coloring of
the evening with its ever new pictures of illu
mined cloud, are lus for a p"rp -lUMI possession.
Spring comes with its bursting buds and open
ing flowers, and Summer with its garlands of
roses, its meadows of perfumed grasses, and
its forests of freshest verdure, to educate him
in the love of the beautiful. Of all ornaments
to a home, trees, shrubs, and flowers are, at
once, the most accessible, ami the most charm
ing. Without them, the master piece of the
architect in the country is ifecoiaplcte. With
them, fa-tefnllv arranged, trie humblest cot
tage is redeemed from ugliness, and made a
pleasing object in the fcind.-cape. Is your soul
so far cultivated that it has found expression
in the tree | lunud avenue ; in the lawn with
its edging of't'wesT, or colt of evergreens ; in
the trellis, loaded with r>.ses • and in the
flower border, peopled in its season, with a
throng more gorgeous than the attendants of
princes? Tin so are marks of tho cultivated
farmer.— An. AgricuViifist.
ORN RECEIPT FOR CLUING MEAT. —As the
reason has coiue around again for curing meat
for the season, it may be acceptable to many
readers—especially to many fresh readers—
who may not have either preserved it, or have
before seen it, to reprint our receipt for curing
meat. We will add, that after using it fur
about twenty yea s ami comparing tlie hems
so cured with others cured by adoz-n different
processes, we are more tliau ever convinced of
its superiority. It is this;
To one gallon of water,
Take 1 1-2 lbs of salt,
1-2 lb. of sugar,
1-2 oz. of saltpetre,
1-2 oz. of potash.
jfn this ratio the pickle is to be increased to
any quantity desired. Let these be boiled to
gether, until all the dirt trom the sugar rises
to the top and is skimmed off. Tlien throw it
into a tub to cool, and when cold, pour it over
your beef or pork, to remain the usual time,
say four or five weeks. The meat must lie
well covered with the pickle, and should not
be put down f >r at least two days after killing,
during which t me it should lie slightly sprink'
led with powdered saltpetre, which removes all
the surface blood, &e., leaving the meat fresh
and clean.
Several of our friends hare omitted the boil
ing of the pickle, and found it to answer equal
ly as well. It will not, however, answer quilt
so well. Ry boiling the pickle it is purified—
for the amount of dirt which is thrown off by
too operation, front tiie salt and sugar, would
surprise any one not acquainted with the fact.
