Glorying in the Goad.
The above well-known lines form i
the text for a delightfully-written es
say in the July number of the Atlan
tic Monthly, evidently from thp pen
of Donald (j. Mitchell, author of My |
Farm of Edge/wood, wlio, himself a
farmer, is well qualified to write on
the subject. There are many things
in the essay that are not compliment
ary, but they will nevertheless be
read with interest, and arc worthy of j
thoughtful consideration.
It appears from an essay in the
Report of the Commissioner 6f Agri-1
culture for 18fi2, written by Dr. W. :
W. Hall, that " notwithstanding the I
sylvan delights of lawn and bower, |
and the exquisite delights of eating
your own hams, the largest class of
patients in Insane Asylums come j
from the 'jolly boys' and their wives |
and daughters." \Ve learn also that j
in spite of his ample birder, bis free
dom from envy and calking care, the
farmer does riot live so long as th'-
pale clergyman whose white hands
he looks upon with only not contempt.
* * * Three homes out of four. |
according to his writer's estimate, j
suffer from the ravages of debt. 11l
you do not trust the testimony of I
books, but will turn to living inert,
you will scarcely fare better. One!
man, whose recreation ■ have been rit- j
ral, but his business civic, conducts
you through his groves and summer- i
houses, his stone barns and his lat- j
tice cottages, but tempers your en- j
thusiasm with the remark, that this j
fancy farming is sowing nincpcnees j
to reap sixpences. Relinquishing I
fancy farms, you goto the practical'
man swinging his scythe in his hay
field, h : s shirt sleeves rol'ed up above
his elbows,and his'trowsers tucked in
to his boots. He shows you the face
walls and the compost heap, the drains
and the resultant hay-cocks, with
measurable pride, but tells you at the
same time that every dallar he has
earned on that farm has eos£ him !
nine shillings. This will never do.
A third farmer has inherited bis J
farm, not only without incumbrance,
but with money at interest. Under
his hands it waxes fat and flourish
ing, and sends to market every year j
its twelve or fifteen hundred dollars'
worth of produce. But you over
hear its owner telling his neighbor
that "it's a Cain's business, this far
ming : make any man cross enough
to kill his brother !" You find this
farmer racked with rheumatism,
though in the prime of life—bent
with the weight of years before his
time. He has lost his health just as
he has improved his farm, by work
ing early an 4 late tlirouge sun and
rain. * * * Everywhere you
liad one song with variations. Far
mers and farmers' wives are not in
love with their calling. The "smart
est" of the children do not remain
at home to take charge of the farm,
unless impelled by a seitse of duty to
their aged parents, or lured by some
promise of extraordinary recompense.
Everywhere the farmer finds farming
to be "a slave's life," "a dog's life,"
" delve all your days, and nothin' to
show for't," " hard scrapin' to make
both ends meet.', It is so unwield
ly a mode of applying means to ends
that, if you must believe him, every
quart of milk costs him six cents,
with the labor thrown in, while you j
pay the milkman but five cents at !
your own door; every dozen eggs |
which he gathers from his own barn ;
lie gathers at the rate of twenty- j
five cents a dozen, while you are pa y- !
ing only twenty-two. * And even
when both ends do meet, and rot on- j
ly meet, but lap over, you can .-caret j
ly find a hearty cheerfulness and sun
shiny a liberal praise and unfeigned
ardor, acotagious delight in the soil.
"Jolly boys" in purple blouses may
drive plows around pitcher, but tin\
are rarely met witlion the hillsides of j
New England. If we may credit
Dr. Hjill. they are quite as rarely
seen on the rich, rolling lands tow-ord
the sunset.
Is this state of things inevitable
Farmers have a very general belief |
that it is. They not only plod on in
the old way themselves, but thev
have no faith in the possible opeii
ing-up of any other way. Their sole
hope of bettering their conditions
lies in abandoning it altogether. If
one is superior to the other, if an on
ly son concentrates upon himself all
the parental affection, they do not
plan for him a brilliant career in their
own line ; they do not look to him
to obtain distinction by some great
agricultural achievement,'of discovery
of new laws or a new combination of
old laws; all their love and hopes
find expression in the determination
" not to bring him up to farming."
They "don't mean that he shall ever
have to work." Hard work and
small profits, is the story of their
lives and of the lives of their ances
tors, and they do not believe any
other story will ever be truly told of
the genuine farmer. And when we
say small profits, we wish the phrase
to hold all the meaning of which it
is capable. It is hard work and small
profits to body and soul; small pro- 1
fits to heart and brain as well as
purse. But every plan which looks 1
to better things is " notional" " new- !
fangled" " easier to tell of than't is !
. to doand so the farmer goes on his
daily beat, with a shamefaced pride :
in his independence fostered by the '
flattery of his county-fair orators, ,
yet vituperating Lis occupation, be-
moaning its hardships, and deprecia
ting its emoluments, stubbnornly set
in the belief that he knows all there
is to know about farming, and f»corn
| ful of whatever attempt togo deep
er than his own plowshare, or cut a
broider swath than his owm scythe.
To suggert the possibility that all
this is the result of a limited knowl
edge, and that the most favorable and
i beneficial change might be found in a
more liberal education and a wider
I acquaintance with the facts descovcr
ed and the deductions made by sci
| cnce, conbl be considered by a bold
yeomanry, ourcountry's pride, as an
outbreak of " book farming" in its.
| most virulent form. " You may bet
| your hat in one thing" says the bold
yeoman "a man ipay know sunthin,'
j an' bo a good minister an' a tol'uble
| deacon, but lie' spiled for fanuin'.".
Two words are beginning to be
coupled in the newspapers and to float
i about in the air, whose juxtaposition
is the cause of many .1 demure chuck
le among the rural population—"Ag
ricultural College." Seperately, the
words command all respect; united,
they are a living refutation of the
| well-known axiom tlu:t " the whole
is equal to all its parts." On the
j contrary, so far are our farmer from
! believing this, that,' while they ac
t knowledge each part to be a very se-
I rious ntid important fact, they look
1 upon the whole as the flimsiest offal
; lacies.

founders of oar Agricultural College, or j
if auy furtherers of rural education pro- i
pose to themselves to diffuse light (and '
dispel darkness) by appealing to farmers '
—if they think to correct the evils of
ignorance by furnishing special opportu
nities to farmers—if they flatter them
selves that they can establish a college of
aims and claims so moderate that farm

aged by the time, money or mind requir
ed—if they design to narrow the crown
that lesser brows may be circled—they
are spending their strength for nought.
No college and no school can be founded
so wisely aud farmers, as a class
will send their sons to it. Why should
they, believing, as they do, that the dis
trict school already gives them as much

gain knowledge enough to reckon with

talk about selections aud temperatures,
silos and flourine; but what has that got
to do with planting the ten-acre lot ?

PROSPECTUS.
TUB NEW YORK TJUAOST, FLRNK issued April 10, 1841,
has to-day a larger aggregate circulation than any other
newspaper publishediu AHUM ION, or (wo believe) in the
wortd. Compelled a year since to lncreaf-«j the price of
Its several issues, or submit to the pecuniary ruin of its
proprietorsfrom the very magnitude of its circulation,-It
has probahly since parted with ee»e patrons to whom
Its remarkable cheapness was a controlling recommenda
tion; but others have tnkel* their place, and It low now
more than Two Hundred Thousand subscribers mid regu
lar purchasers—wnexeeswof at least Fifty Thousand over
those of any rival. And this unprecedented currency it
has achieved by very liberal expcndlturee in procuring
early and authentic intelligence, by the fearle** expres
sion of convictions, by the free employment of ability and
Industry wherever it might contribute to excellence in
any department <tf our enterprise, and bf unshrinking
fidelity to the dictates of Justice, Humanity, and Free
dom. •
By very largo outlays for early and authentic ndvices
by telegraph and otherwise from itn own correspondents
with the various nrtuies of the Union, and by special ef
forts to furnish such information reelecting Markets,
Crp])S, new discoveries or improvements in Agriculture,
Ac,, as must specially Interest farmers,wehaveasjjidlonsly
labored to make a journal calculated lo meet the wants
and subserve the interests of the Producing Classes.—
Th« t end we have at least measurably attained; for no
Other newspaper exists in America or Kurope which in
habitually read by nearly Bo many farmers and their fam
ilies as IH'THE Trim NF. 10-da> 1 12. We shalllaborto increase
both the number and the satisfaction of this by far the
nioet numerous class of its patrons.
During the existence of the Whig party, this paper
-up|K>itrd flint party, though always sympathizing with
the more liberal, progressive, Anti-Slavery "wing" there
of. » hen new i- ues dissolved or transformed old organi
zations through the spontaneous uprising of the people
< 112 the Free States against the repudiation of the Mi'SOttrJ
Hest/ictioii, The Tribune heartily participated in thut
movement, and was known as Republican. When the
long smoldering conspiracy to divide and destroy our
country or reduce it entire to complete abasement to the
Slave Power culminated in overt tro;w->n and rebellion,
it naturally, necessarily regarded resistance to this cn
' spirncy as parainouut to all r*W consideratlni*. and de
voted all its ee.ergies and uforts to the maintenance of onr
Union. 4n every great controversy which his divided
our country, it has been found on that sido which natu
rally commands the sympathy and support of the large
majority qf -school-houses ami the decided minority of
grog-ehof «. and so douhtle-s will be to to the last.
Ardently desiring and strivia for the early end epdu
ring adjustment of our Nationaldistract ions, The Tribune
leaves thetiui". the nature and-the conditions of that ad
justment implicitly to tho-e lawfully in authority, con
fiding iu their wfcdoni and patriotism, anxiuiw to aid
them to the utmost in their arduous responsibilities and
not to emhai n>s theiu evm by possibility. Firmly be
lieving In the A j»-d<lic rub*—'"First pure th\-n pelicea
bh«"—holding that the total and fiiuU extirpation of Sla
ver.) is the true and only absolute cure for our National
ill*—that any expedient that stops short of this can j
hav • but a and Illusory success—we yet pro-,
pound no theory . ( ''reconstruction" and indorse none !
that has been propounded bv ahother—neither Snut
•l"r H. nor Whiting's, nor any of the various Copperhead
devices for achieving *"l'f » e*' by surrounding the Re
public into the power of l>s traitorous foes—but, exhor
ting, the American People to have faith in th. -r Govern
ment. to rc-ffnfhrre their armies and replenish their treas
ury. we believe that, if they but do their duty, a benign
Providence Will indue time bring this fearful struggle to
such a close as will host subserve th»* true prcatbe.ss of
our country and the permanent Well-being of mankind.
