Time—The Farmer's Treasure.
There is uo employment better adapted to
secure the improvement Of one's time, particu
larly of those fragments which are so often un
improved, than that of the farmer. There are
many occupations in which lime is necessarily
lost to the occupation itself, because of hin
drances which, iu stopping one part stop all.
There are iutervals in most persons' business
which cannot be filled up with any thing per
taining to the business itself, because the maiu
thing to be done is itself almost the only thing.
It is true that no man, whatever his occupa
tion, Deed waste any portion of time, however
small, for he can employ it in a thousand things
which will promote his happiness and useful
ness, though not bearing directly upon bis maiu
object of pursuit. He cau have always at hand
a book, or a subject of study to engage his
thoughts when they are temporarily released
from daily business. Bat there are few who
eao, like the farmer, employ even the frag
ments, in the details of that which is emphati
cally the business of their lives. The farmer's
business is one of times and seasons, aud to ev
ery thing in the farmer's life there is a time,
and for every time, every day in the year—
there is something which not only can be done,
but must be done. It will not do theu for the
farmer, of all men, to put off till to-morrow
what can be done to-day, for to morrow will
certainly bring enough to be done. We have
beard farmer's complaio of this, aud say that
they were the only men who were drudges, al
ways having something to do, while mauy oth
ers, if stopped in the prosecution of their daily
Business, were stopped altogether, having no
incidental matters to attend to, and therefore
had a time for rest. This is far from being
true, and many classes of persons, as editors,
physicians, etc., never have an hour they can
call their own. But if it were true, and so far
it is true, it shows a clear advantage on the
part of the farmer. If the carpenter or the
ifaason is stopped for a day or two in his work,
he must lose the time, so far as his earnings
are concerned. And this is often a serious
loss, for though it is true he may improve the
time iu study aud other useful ways, yet it may
be that he cau ill afford the consequent dimi
nution in his earnings. Yet it is very seldom
that he can turn his hand to anything else
with aoy profit. Generally the most that he
can do is to perform any little household jobs
which perhaps he might have had to hire an
other to do, if he had been employed at his
own work.
Bat the farmer can never be at a loss for
Work adapted to the very time which the ne
cessity of discontinuing some other work his J
rendered vacant. He has but to step out of
bis door, aud cast his eye over bis domain to j
discover southing to be attended to. It is
true if he is a careful man he will not see fenc
es down, doors off their hiuges, mauure evapor
ating in the sun, as he can see every day in
the year upon the farm of his neighbor, who
has adopted the principle of never doing to
day what can possibly be put off till to mor
row. But bis experienced eye will detect the
symptoms of decay, he will see where things
are just beginning to go wrong, as things are
constantly begiuniug to do in this world, and
he will remedy the matter at once. There is
no greater mistake than to suppose that when
the farmer is prevented by the weather from
out-door work he has nothing else to do.
He can always find something to do in the
barn, the stable, the granery, or the tool-shop
where he has laid up seme Dice seasoned hicko
ry, and ash for extra hoe handles, ax-helves,
teeth for rakes, ox-yokes, Ac., for it is very
easy for him with a few good tools to make
these thiDgs, and much better ones than he can
buy ; and then how much time is saved by
having such things ready when they are want
ed, so that important work may not be delay
ed by suuding a mau on horseback three miles
to get a new implement, or waiting half a day
to have the old oue mended. A great deal o(
the farmer's work is that of preparation, and
these preparations are so various that he may
easily choose his own time for any of them.
In another important respect is Time the
farmer's treasure. He can, and in fact usual
ly does, use the same time several times over.
While he is cottiug his hay his wheat is ripen
ing ; while he is hauling his munure bis cattle
are fattening ; while he is making his fences
his chestnut rails are growing. Nuture, or
we would rather say, Providence, is all the time
doing his work for him. All he has to do is
to " cat out work" for the rain and sun and
atmosphere to do. How ungrateful in him to
grumble if sometimes these powerful aud be
neficient agents, in accomplishing other more
important purposes of the Almighty, destroy
his crops. Nor is there, notwithstanding what
we have said, any mau who has had more time
to spare for social intercourse aud intellectual
improvement, than the farmer who makes it a
point to let nothing get behind him. While
other men, however industrious they may be,
find their business constantly making greater
demands upon them, he can at almost any time
with safety, leave his farm for a few days.—
Tilings caunot go very far wrong in that space
of lime, when they have so uniformly been
made to go right, and his first busiuess when
he returns will be to see if everything is right.
Thus we contend that the farmer can, it he
will, make more of his time than any other
mao, not excepting a Wail-street broker.—

CAUTION*.
" To be, or not to be—hat is the question!
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous opposition,
Or by taking up arms against a sea of printing ink,
And opposing, end them."
THE proprietor of the Argus takes occasion in adver
tising his Bindery to indulge in an uncalled for fling
1 about a " sort of a concern,'' which is hoping " to delude
j the public."' As 1 have opened a Bindery on my own ac-
I count, the inference is that if the public bring their
| binding to me. they are in no danger of being defrauded.
For two years I have worked for Mr. LARSONS, and he
! has taken great irains t satisfy the public I was the " best
i Binder in America," as the columns of the Argus wil
! testify. Has he been all that time " deluding the pnb
I lie ?" If I have been engaged in a fraud, he has been th
principal. But I refer to my work during that time a
j evidence that there has been no fraud practiced.
I Having served a long apprenticeship at the Bindery
business, I have resumed business here on my own ac
count,as I know of nothing which prevents me from fol
lowing a legitimate and hawful calling tor my support
I shall endeavor by good work and attention to my busi
ness to give public satisfaction.
