The Farmer's Life.
The tollowing extract from an agricultu
ral address of Horace Grecly's contains
much truthful sentiment, and shoal d be well
considered by farmers generally.
"Alter all ot the eloquence of poetry that
has been lavished on the farmer's vocation,
its independence its security, its dignity,
its quiet, its happiness—there are not many
decidedly clever youths even in Ihe house
holds of farmers who are delibera'ely choos
ing the farmer's calling as preferable to all
others. Hundreds drift or settle imo Agri
culture because they cannot acquire a pro
fessional training, or because they hate to
study, or because tlicy cannot get trusted
for a siock of goods, or for some one of a
hundred reasons ; very few because tliey
decidedly prefer this life to any other.
Advertise in the same paper to-morrow
for a man on the farm and a clerk, the wages
in each case being the same, and you will
have twenty applications for the latter place
to one of the former. Tis fact argues a
grave error somewhere ; and as I don't be
lieve it is human nature, not in that provi
dential necesssity which requires most of
lis to be farmers, I must believe il is to be
delected in the arrangement and condition
nndor which farm labor is performed. We
must study out the delect and amend it
When the rural neighborhood shall have be
come more social, and the farmer's home
more intelectual—when the best books and
periodicals not only agricflttural but others
also, shall be found on his evening table
and his hired men be invited to profit by
them—the general repugnance of intellect
ual youth lo farming will gradually disap
pear.
We Americans, as people, do less to ren
der our homes attractive, than an other
people of equal means on the earth. And
lor this there is very much excuse. We
are 'rolling stones,' which have not yet
lound lime to gather any v.ery graceful moss.
We are on our march from Western Europe
to the shores of the Pacific, and have halted
from time to time by the way, but not yet
settled. That sacred and tender attachment
to home which pervades all o'her human
breasts has but slender hold upon us. There
are not many of us who would not sell the
house over his own head if he were offered
a good price for it. Not one fourth of us
now live ill the same house in which' we
were born ; not half of us confidently expect
to die in the homes we now occupy. Hence
we cannot be expected to plant trees, and
train vines, and set flowering shrubs, as we
might do, il we had, in the proper sense of
the word, a Home.
I apprehend that we are to-day the least
social people on earth, and this is especial
ly true of our purely agricultural districts.
The idler and the dissipated are gregarious ;
but our iudustirous, sober, thrifty farming
population enjoy too little of each other's
society. In the old world, for the most part,
the tillers of the soil live in villiages or ham
lets surrounded at distances varying from
ten rods to three miles, by the'lands they cul
tivatc and sometimes own. When the day's
labor is over, they gather in good weather,
on the village green, under a spreading tree,
or some inviting grove, and song and story,
conversation and moonlight dance, are the
cheap solace of their privations, their labors
and their cares. But our American farmers
are islands, seperated by seas of forest and
fencing, and farmers, their families and la
borers, rarely see those living a mile or two
away, save when they pass 111 the road or
meet on Sunday in church.
Breeding Horses.
As there are many eroncous opinions en
lertaineil respecting the breeding of horses,
1 trust I may be indulged a hearing if I
give the public the observations I have
made on this subject. As a practical far
mer, I do not hesitate to express my opin
ion, and give the prominent reason tvhy we
liave so many horses inferior in size,
strength, beauty and motion. This is not
owing to a want of care taken of the colts,
or to their not being well fed or sheltered
during the severity of the winter. The fact
is, that most farmers are induced to take
good care of their animals, because they
know it is for their 'ntcreets to do so. The
great reason is, the mares selected for breed
ers are unfit for the purpose. They are,
perhaps, too small, they lack physical vig
or, or they have become old, or have been
over-worked or broken down. In addition
to these defects they are not sprightly or
agile in their motions, nor kind in their
disposition. Such animals should not be
selected for breeding. Nor again should
the sires be ill-shaped, overgrown, coarse,
ungainly in their motions and malicious in
their dispositions.
Observation shows that colts usually take
the shape of the head, ears, chest, limbs
and feet more from the sire than from the
dam; while the size of the body, form of
the hips, and color seem to hear a closer
resemblance to the latter. For this reason
the mare should be oi good size, well pro
portioned and easy of motion; and it is un
necessary to remark that all these qualities
in a high degree, are requisite in the sire.
Some farmers greatly overvalue horses that
are fast trotters, and mares that move rapid
ly are held in market at a high price.
MIXTURB OK GRASS SEEDS.— We question
wether sufficient attention has been paid
to this subject in our country. In England,
and on the Continent, farmers mix several
kinds of seed together, when laying down
their lands to grass, because some sorts
grow better than others in different parts of
lite same year.—We have seen the following
mixture tried and are prepared to recom
mend it: Ten pounds of red clover, five
pounds of white clover, one peck of herd
gass, and half a bushel of red lop. Let this
be salted down with two bushels of plaster.
TUB best things to take in any and all ca
ses of consumption, is exercise, substantial
food, and outdoor air in large but duo pro
portions ; and that, without lheso. 110 case
of consumptive disease has ever been suc
cessfully treated by any man, living or dead. I

P5 'i. ' 'k'-'A ?' THE recent trials at Read-
have endorsed the cur
renl of public opinion, and
confirmed the verdict of more than 200 acci
dental fires, proving conclusively that "Her
ring's" is the only safe that will not burn.
Extract from the Committee's Report on
the Trial of Iron Safes at Reading:
"On the 26th of February all the members
of the Committee met to witness the Safes
ana books and papers, (placed in them) and
were perteeiiy satisfied that all was right.—
The day following, the burning took place,
under the superintendence of the Committee.
Altera fair and impartial burning for five
hours, the Safe of Messrs. Evans Ac Watson
! was first opened, the Rife being on fire in
; side, and the contents partially consumed,
while ihe contents in the Sale of Messrs.
Farrels Ac Herring were in good condition,
and no fire inside."

The above Safes can be inspected at 34

themselves of the great superiority of the

I feated and used-up "inside Iron Pnnr Salu-

The attempt made by other parties in bol
ster up the reputation of a Sale which has
failed signally in accidental flies in Philadel
phia, (Ranstead Place,) by taking one out
of an agent's store, [H. A. Lantz.] made dou
ble thickness, (different lrom those they sell)
to "burn up" one o! Herring's, (half as thick)
has met with its hue reward. Herring's Safe
could not be burnt, proving conclusively that
the only reliable Safe now made is Herring's,
ol which over 15,000 are now in aetuel use,
and more than 200 have been tried by fire
without a single loss.

J A BRETT, OF THE NEW YORK LUNG ;
INFIRMARY—My connection for the past
S'glil year, with the above Institution, as
Chief Physician, and a twelve years' course
of steady devotion lo the Cure of Pulmonary
Consumption and its kintlred disease, togeth
er with my unrivalled opportunities and ad
vantages of palhologieal researches—aided
not a little by a perfect system of Alebtcal In- !
halation —lias enabled me to arrive at a do- i
cisive, direct, ami successful course of Irea'-
ment for the positive and radical cure of all
diseases of ihe Throat, Lungs, and Air-Pas
saga. By Inhalation, the vapor and curative
propertios ol medicines are di'ectly address- j
edto the diseased orgsnsand the integument. ;
1 do not odvise the use of medical Inhalation !
of any kind, to the exclusion of general heat- '
went ; and although 1 consider it a useful ad
juvant in the proper management of those ;
learlul and often fatal diseases, yet I deem il 1
very necessary that each patient should have j
the benefit of both gsncrat and local treat* '
merit. The success of my treatment in the '
above diseases, and in the high character of j
Ihe Institution over which I l.ave so long had j
the honor to preside, are too well known to
need any eulogy or comment Irom me. At i
the solicitation of many private and profos- |
sinial friends, through whose philanthropic !
aid Ihe above charity has been long and lib- !
erally supported, and after due consideration, !
I have concluded to make such arrangements
ae will bring the beuefits of my experience j
and treatment within the reach of all, and nol 1
confine myself, as heretofore, to those only :
who entered the Infirmary, or who were able j
lo visit me at my oftlce. Hoping therefore 1
that the arrangement will give entire satislac- :
tion, both lo my professional brethem and i
the public, I would respectfully announce in
conclusion that I can be consultedpenomuty or
by letter, on all diseases as above, and that the |
medicines, the same as used in the Institution
brepared to suit each individual case. In- :
haling vapors, Aledual Inhales , &c. &c. will be
forwarded by express to any part ol the Uni- I
led Stales or Canadas. TERM*—My terms of
i treatment by letter ore as follows, viz.: 812
I permonth foreach patient, which will include
■ medicine sufficient for one month's use; al-
I so, Inhaling Vapor, arid an Inhaling Apparat
j us. Payments a* follows: 86 lo paid lo Ex-
I press Agent on receipt oi the box of Metli-
I cute, ami lite balance $6 at the expiration of
j the month, if ihe patient is cured or is entire
i ly satisfied with ihe treatment. Patients, by
j giving a full history of their case, and their
j symptoms in full, can be Irealed as well by
| letter ashy personal examination. Patients
j availing themselves of Dr. Jarrett's treat
j merit may rely upon immediate anil perma
! nent relief, as he seldom has lo treat a case
over thirty days. Letters ol advice promptly
