FOR 8611,E.
NEUTRAL IN POLITICS.
AS no"one is expected to close eyes, or
ears, while seated in railroad cars, and-•ns
passengers are not always particular to
speak in whispers, why of con rz:e one_must.
sometimes hear one's neighbor's opinions of
the world, &c.
This was my privilege one ,rousing cold
day last winter: Two young ladies were
conversing-upon — the fate of some of their
friends who had left boarding school with
thetnselve9, and were married.
"And have you called on Jnne N., since
her marraige inquired the_ckler.
"AVlty - no I have no patience with such
girls ! Just think of her education, and the
respectability of her father's family, and
you know her brotht4 is a lawyer too ; add
she who would have believed it has married
a farmer ! It is scandalous I declare ! Call
nn her—no ! Why I would not dare to call
in the morning...for I dare say 1 should find
her making butter, or skim milk or doing
some like piece of domestic drudgery! I
would not call at night for fear I might find
her milking the cows !
"Really, it shocks my nerves to think of
the thing!" '
"Yes, and it is said she might have done
better than to have married this farmer."
"I have no doubt of it," replied the elder
"for I am pusitive'she received the offer-of
a clerk in a wholesale store-in S. "Pis true
he is a little dissipated. that's bad, but noth
ing to this; compare him with a plow-jog
ger !"
"Hut have you ever seen Jane's husband ?
"No, nor do I wish to ; if be is a farmer
that is enough."
The reader can perhaps imanine of course
my "pen cannnt describe," with what feel
ings of shame and dismay, I, a farmer's
wile must have heard the above remarks.
Fortunately for me, however, I had suf
ficient presence of mind to see to myself and
baggage, for my "plow' jogger" remained
at home. Lucky was This for me. for if
like Cain, he carried no "marl/ on his brow"
he might have carried it op his hands.
It is natural for us to inquire. what is_
the basis of opinion and feeling like those
expressed by the young ladies referred to ?
And are such opinions. (which I really think
were honestly felt and spoken.) correct?
Is an educated and relined lady degraded
by marrying a farmCr, merely because he is
a farmer-?
Without hesitation, I reply, she is not un-,
der any equality of circumstances. Let us
suppose a case.
An intelligent and repectable farmer (by
respectable 1 do not mean fashionable us
ninny understand the term) looks about him
for a wife. Front what class shall he choose.
Shall he go to the city and +select from the
fashionable and the gay 1 By no means.—
Bodlliall he take one who will be no shar
er o his hopes and fears, his joys and sor
rows; but one who will, as I heard a man
once remark oC his wife, "be a very service
able companion," because, forsooth, she
will rise betimes aid do all the "drudgery"
and plod on till night' . No—Ure• will give
the preference to one, who although she
may be educated and refined, knows well .
that "worth, makes .tjte man."
And now is there any good reason, why
a lady placed in these circumstances, should
be considered to have lowered herself a
whit beneath her friends, who perchance
have tnarried, one lawyer. and another mer
chant 1 Let us see whet yin the diffnence
consist. We will suppose the farmer pos
sessed of a competence, or in other words,
"well off in the world," to us a homely ex
pression, and the lawyer. or merchant, as it
may be similarity situated. Where is the
great, the vast difference? .
"Why of course the farmer's wife has to
live in the country—that is reason enough,"
says one, "her location, excludes her Iron
association with the better part of society,
who are found in large places," 'Prue
enough,. the farmer and all pertaining. to
him must live in the country. What does re
fined society?--The fact is, Mr. Editor, as
I am a farmer's wife, I have abundant evi- .
dence, that my city friends do not slight me
in summer, not do they express to me their
horror 'ofthe farmer life, nor are their nerves
weakened. nt 011, as my. house is opened for
their inspection. . "Pis true they do not so
much delight to yisit'us" in 'winter, but all

class have any idea of rusticating . *Life year
'round: :If one's happiness depends. upon
constant interchange' of visits, and an tin"
ceasing routine of fashionable gaiety; one
who lives in the country' with these - tastes,
most either remain ungratified, and unhap
py, or her taste and habits.of feeling must
change. But gratifications of,this-sort are
by no means an essential part. of happiness,
But it more serious reason, and one which is
oftener brought as en objection to the fiftee n
tion of a farmer's wife, is this. In order to
discharge her duties satisfactorily and.cied r
itably to herself and family, She mustqlo an
immense amount of hard work. By the
way, this objection is viewed differently, by
different individuals. There are those who
look upon all physical labor as degrading,
and there are not a few.in the community.
"How singular and unfortunate it is,"_ex-.
claimed one of this class, not long since,
' ,, that Mrs. S., than whom no lady in New
Hampshire possesses more true firmness of

Now persons of this class do not despise
labor because of the amount to be performed
or the time required to perform it, but they
despise work, labor, in any form.-They have
no idea of comfort, worth or happiness, it it
is associated with labor.—The laborer is
contemptible. These seine individuals are
not always so nice in their distincton as they
might be. They seem to forget, when
plucking the tempting peach or plum iron%
the tree,.that labor planted and reared that
tree. '
But they never forget that it is• beneath•
the dignity of an accomplished women to
make bread, butter or cheese. One thing;
however is certain it is not beneath their
dignity to eat them after they are nicely
made.
For my own part, my perceptive facul
ties are not sufficiently. keert,to make the.
nice distinction, why I should be ashamed:
to say I make the butter and cheese, (pro=
videdit is well made) and proud to say my.
husband planted and 'reared the tree, the
fruit of which is so delicious to the taste, .
But there are those who sincerely believe
that no class of women in this: Country, do:
work so hard as the farmers! wives. That
circumstances often require this it is useless
to deny. But that a women is constantly
to work, and have .no leisure, because she
is the farmer's wife,' do deny.. A tnan who
owns a small farm, is not required to hire
touch help so that the labor of his wife, is
not very great. Ono wild owns a larger
one, and is required to hire help, "out of
doors," if he manages as he ought, with
economy and skill, also be able to hire all
needful assistance "in doors.". Where a
man owns a large farm, and is still unalzlei
to hint all needful for his wife.wsinfee that.
there is an exception, and is:not the

oral rule. Bad.manage:nent, an avaricious
disposition, or anything Which tend's' to in
