3;he 4*avm?v's gqiartmcnt. Agricultural Improvements. This seems to be the disposition of | the great inn'sh of the farming com munity tliroughout these New Eng land Htat ?. They seem to bo dor mant on tue subject of self-improve ment. And why is this? Simp'y j because that firmers must goon the i principle*of "every man for himself," ; and the whole aim of the farmer's life, while in this worl !. is strug'lin-' for the "almighty dollar." You talk with many farmers, on the subject of 1 education and improvement,and what ; will they tell you ? They have no j time for reading, _<tf. study—which is : a fancy as transparent as a down cast fogy. If they would be candid they would say it was for a want and disposition and mind to do so. They would hit the nail on ho head. Now this want of time is all gam mon. You farmers have tho most time for self-impro' ement,and should be the best educated of any class of men under heaven. If perchance \ there should be a political "caucus j called, to be h n ld at tho tavern, how j eagerly do they rush into talk of j Congress, Legislature &:•. Then be fore adjournment take a drink of the animator, light pipes, and then no• | net, to sec how the vote will go at j Town Meeting. Then just post up a ! call to organize a Farmers Club in | the district school house, and then j adjust your glosses and be ready to ! count tho J, umber of those patriotic j farmers who are in attendance. — j Now alljmust admit this is no fancy sketch, but a stubborn fact. Wo do j not make any pretensions as to being endowed with the spirit < 112 prophecy, I and we ai*» well satisfied, from per- j Fonal observation, that there is a great j neglect and want of stimulus in the | mind ef the farmer, for his improve- j ment in agricultural science. In fact, we believe that tho time j has come when mot e must be said and written, on the improvement of the j mind as well as the soil. Practical agriculture, the farmer lias always j had, and shall always have, as long ! as tho soil is cultivated, although the I kind and quality will depend on the '■ chafacter of* the farmer, llut prac- ' tical farming doe not of course bring | with it a corresponding improvement of the mind. But, alas, "tell in Oath," kc., that the improvement of the mind consumes too much time, j and does not bring along quite so big 1 a pile of greenbacks as thf other sys- ! tern, and of course it must be dispell- i sed with. We have been brought up to labor on tho farm, hence we feel a lively interest in every movement made to elevate tli • farmer. The farmer in | this day in which we live need not I be'gnorant. There are works issu ed from the press that just meet the wants of our farming community, freighted each in ntli with articles ten ing to the improvement of the mind ; and yet how many families are destitute <xf its monthly visits.— And why ? Oh ! they can't afford t, and yet, will yon believe it, the spend five dollars a year for that poisonous article, tobacco , which undermines the constitution, and spend their long winter evenings dozing in the chimney corner. If they show any vitality, it is in rousing to t*ke a smoke. Why, farmers, will you let these golden opportunities flit away, and that uiind neeome a wild rnc s when, by self-improvement, you might have been a Clay or Webster, and the nation been swayed by your elo-1 quence. This theme of self-culture is too much neglected smong the far ming community. Young man, do not think because you have left the old school house, there is no chance for improvement. It is an error.— You have gone forth into the great school-room of Nature, and if you | have a mind of any capacity, you can learn. Learn, improve every leisure moment in study, and you j will never regret it.— Oenetsw Far. SMOKK FOR THE CUKE OF WOUNDS. —A correspondent of the Country Gentleman recommends smoke as a cure for wounds in men and animals, 110 says : "I cut my foot with an axe. The lady of the house, seizing the foot while it was yet bleeding freely, he'd it over a pan containing smoking tag iocks. In a few minutes the bleeding stopped, and the smoke was removed ; and a bandage applied to protect it from accidental blows. Tho wound never supperated, and conseqhently never pained me. I have seen the femedy tried in many similar cases,! and always with the same result.— Let the reader bear in mind that no liniment or salve, whethen draw ing or healing, should be appliod. You have merely to Btnoke the wound well and nature will do the rest. I sup pose the smoke of burning wood would produce the same reaiitts, but: it would not be so manageable.— There is a principle in the sniokc of I burning wood, which, when, applied to the fleuh, coagulates the a bumen, thus rendering it unsusceptible of pu trefaction. The same principle stops bleeding by coßgu'ating the blood.— It promotes healing, and may be ap plied with decided beuofit to all ul cers, wounds and cutaneous diseases. There eau not b« u Mirer proof of low origiu or of an iunate meanness of dispoeitiou. than to be always tajkiujj and 4hUikiug of being genteel. BE OF GOOD CHEER ! The nation is rapidly recovering from I thexhoek of events tho most- terrible in its history. The appalling nature of the ' calamity has befallen us is deeply and i solemnly comprehended ; but the same , wonderful elasticity which has sustained j us under all tho pressing reverses of the j | war is yet serving its purpose, and the l i people are looking to the future with j ; .-arnest aud hopeful eye. The life of this | Republic is dependent upon no person or j dynasty, but upon millions of honest : hearts and intelligent minds. The deep : trouble at Washington develops the! ' strength • 112 our political structure. — i Though every member of the general ! government had lieen r triekon down, the ! union of the States would have remained, 1 and eaeli would have brought to the na j tronal rescue it" full Ksecutive and Ju ; dicial force. We may be pained —we may I ho humiliated—we may shudder at this | bloody smirch which shows so grimly ! upon our annals; but we bate not one jot jof heart or hope. We would make no arrogant boast, but we feel and know that | j the people will rise to the great occasion, j | The destinies of this Republic were never | ; confided to the hands of a tcnsel play- : • actor. We have noteu. a? it was our duty to j do, the evidences of public feeling through- j | out the country. We grief, i hotter regret, and a painful and passionate | emotion. We have seen tears in the eyes ; of strong men ; but they were the wit- i nesses, not of weakness, but of a firm and j unflinching purpose. If the wretched man who has brought mourning upon the nation had been capable of reasonably es i timating the natural result of his crime, lie would have seen the folly if not the | | guilt of his devilish enterprise. Assassi ] nation has rarely been followed by revo- I lution, because it naturally turns the ; minds of men to the value of law and the I necessity of order. We believe this must ihe apparent to the hastiest observer, j ( Jreat meetings have been convened in all ; parts of the country ; the pulpit and the ! press have spoken in no uncertain tone; ! the public authorities everywhere have | taken official cognizance of these events ; j and in every speech, message, proclama j tion. sermon or article, we find not merely j a wholesome dread anarchy, but a stern i determination to resist it in its very be- I ginnings. We have not contended with i treason so long without learning the sa- I credness and value of intelligent loyalty. The murder of the President makes all I classes, the.so called high and the so call ' ed low. the rich and the poor, those who I arc more and those who are less cultiva- j j ted—it makes all conscientious men con-1 | orvalive. Infidelity to the Constitution ! never, showed so grimly rs to-day. The blood of the martyrs has been called the seed of tho church—the murder of the | President may prove tho salvation of the nation. Hereafter, wo must count liberty and order as costly possessions, and be very mindful of the price which we have j paid for them. The time may come when I. bloodshed shall not be the condition of human progress and of personal rights, certain anil unquestioned ; and nothing will hasten the day of placid security more surely than the desperate and bloody business which, while it has shocked, has also instructed us. It is astonishing to j find the country bO quiet, so firm, so self- i sustained. Never has it been so fixed in i its purpose—never so determined at once . and forever to exterminate treason to its last trace. Wo mean to have a country. We mean to hare a governmrnt. We mean to have peace, order, security. We j incau to have obedience to all just and ne cessary laws. We mean to have true civilization. We mean to blot out the last signs of barbarism in our institutions and our legislation. To effect these lion- j orabla purposes, wo mean to make all j events, whether adverse or fortunate, our j j helpers. So, with firm mind and inflexi | Idc purpose, stands the American people i | to-day Men may be murdered, but not I j Truth, Justice and Humanity. We trust that there may not be too mueli anxietv respecting the feeling with which tidings ot this heavy event will bo received abroad. We can afford to bear illiberal and unintelligent comment, and need not be restive under uncharitable criticism, while sati.-fied of the rectitude of our pnarposes. When ISellinfihani shot Mr. Pereivnl in tho lobby of the House of Commons, the British Govern ment still went on. When the Oato-st. conspirators came within an ace of mur dering the whole British Cabinet at a ministerial dinner party, the British Gov ernment still went on. When a. mad ! woman fired a pistol at George 111. at the | theatre, the British Government still went : on. A just constitutional government | boars a charmed life—it is only autoera- I cies that the dagger or the pistol of the j conspirators can overthrow. It would be strange, indeed, if at such 1 a moment we should despair of the Re public. Gov. Awlrew. of Massachusetts, struck the key-note of the hour when he said, in his Message to the Legislcture communicating the deadi of the Presi dent, '• Let the Government aud the peo ple resolve to be brave,'ffefthful, impartial, ! and just. If we have been subjected 4o | grievous and unexpected trials, we have | still unlimited resources. It is not in the power of a regiment of skulking murderers to reach the brave popular heart. The i Constitution is bullet-proof. Liberty is locked up in complete stoel—oiikl is .u i danger only in the house of «tejfriends \V e beg of all who are dispose®" To des pond, fairly to survey the -condition of the country, and to mark thiftubdued but noble spirit which prevails- We have not battled against shipwrecks so lang to meet with it now. Those who j have eyes to see need not despair of a fu i ture which is full of hope and ol promise. 1 SOS NEW UOODH, IHU.T AS CHEAP AS THE CHEAPEST * ! AND 19 AOOD AS TUE BUT. jll. C. & J. L.
