FARMERS ANA FA • MTG.
Address of Ralph Waldo Emer
son.
[The Annual Agricultural Fair in , Middle-,
sex Counfy, took place last month'
at Concord. The noticeable eveht f the day
was the delivery of the following address by
Mr. Ralph Waldo Emerson at the dinner
Ma. PRESIDENT, LADIES
TLEMEN: I suppose there is o anniver
sary that meets. from all partieso more'
entire good will than this rural festival.
Town and country, trades and!niattufae
tures, church and laymen, sailor and sol-f
dier, men and women, all have] an equal
good will. because an equal stake in the'
prosperity of the farmer. It is iivcll, with
all when it is well with him.' He has no
enemy. All are loud in his praise.
ery wise State has favored him, and' thel
best men have held him highest.; Ctito
said, when it was said that such or such
a man was a good husbandman, it was
looked upon as the_ very highest compli
ment. Of all the rewards given by the
Romans to neat public benefactors, the
most valued and the rarest beitdwed was
the crown of Grass, given only by, the ac
clamation of the army for the preservation
of the whole. army, by the faith of one
man. Since the dependence, not of the
wholefirmy, but a the whdle State rests
on the tiller of the ground who grows the
grass, the crown should be more rightful
ly awarded to the farmer. Let'us then
look at the condition of the farreer,ior the
wan with the hoe, at his strength and
weakness, at his aids and servants,; at Ms
greater and lesser means, and hislshare in
the great future which opens before the
people of this country.
etl , ol ke,ivipia3 cf tisp3 11)o Di,sslls)islaiioii of Nok4lit, -pri3 ifeb)s:
BY JOSIE S. BUNT
VOV I DERBPORT, POTTIR 001110.7, PA., THURSDAT,, OCT9BER I 14, 1858.
The g,lory'ef the farmer is that it is his
to construct , and to create. Let- others
borrow and imitate,
travel and exchange,
and make fortunes by speed and dexteri
ty in selling something which:they never
Made; but the whole rests at last,upon
his pritiiiive activity. He stands dose
to nature; obtains from the earth bread ;
the, food w 7 .icli was not he has eamied to
•be. And this necessity and daty 'gives
the faral its dignity. All men feel this
to be their nattiml employment. The
tint farmer was the first man, and all no
bility rests on the poE,•r:sion c0..1 use of
;and. Men do not like hard ark very
well; but every man has an :exceptional
respect for tillage, and a feeling that this
is the original calling of his race; that he
himself is only, excused from it by some
circumstances which may direct - it for a
time to other hands. If he had nut some
small skill which recommends him to the
farmer, some product which -the farmer
will giVe him corn fur, he must himself
return to his due place among the plant
ers of corn. The profezSion - has its an
cient charm of standing close to God, He
who gives. Then I think the piety, the
tranquility, the innocence of the country
man, his independence, and all the pleas
ing arts behinhing to him, the care of the
beast, of poultry, of sheep,', of fruits, of .
trees, and its reaction on the workman,
in giving him a strength and plain dig-
nity„like the face and manners of nature,l
gal icon are sensible of. All of us keep
the farm in reserve as an asylum where
to bide their poverty and their solitude, i
if they do not succeed in scciety. - Who
knows how. many remorseful glances are
turned thus away from the competitions
of the shop and coutitino--rome, from the
mortifying cunning-of th q e Courts and the
Senates. After the man has been de
graded so that he has no longer the vig
or to attempt to' achieve labor on the soil,
yet when be:bas been poisoned by town!
life and drueged by cooks ; c very
meal is a force pump to exhaust by, stim
ulous the poor reinaiade:- of his strength,
he resolves : "Well, my children, whom
I have injured, shall wo bach[to the land
to bereernited and cured by that which
should- have been my nursery and shall
now be their hospital.?
, The farmer is a person of remarkable
conditions. His office is precise and im- 1
Portant; and it is of no use to try to pilot
him -in' rose-color. 'Yen Must take him
just as he stands. Nothing is arbitrioy
or sentimental in his condition,,am2, were
one respects lather tae elements of
Lis nffica than himself. He'bends to the.
order of the semen::: and the weather and
the soils, as the sails of the ship bend is i
the wind. he makes his gains little by
little, and by hard labor. - He is a slow
prrson, being r .ulated by time and na
ture, and net by city watches. He takes
the best of the seasons, of the plants, and
of chemistry. NatMfe never hurries, and
atom, by atom, little by little, accomplish
es her work. The lesson one learns in
fishing. yachting,_ hunting, or in planting,
is the knowledge of nature; patience with
the delays of wind and sun, delays of the'
seascns, c - Icecs of wafer - and drouth,
pa
'tience" with tl• e sloaness of our fret an.:
with-the ilttleness of our strength, with
the larp•eness of sea and land. The farm
er, or the Man with • the hoe, times hie:-
self to nature and acquires, that immense
Patience which belongs to her. Slow,
narrow man---ehe has to wait for his- food
to grow. ELS rule isThat the earth hall
feed him and find him; and in each he
nitiNt be a graeeful splendor. His sp4md
ing must befarmer's spending and not
a merchant's.'
But though a farmer may be pinched.
on one side, lie .has advantages on the
other. Ile is permanent; be clings to
his land as the rocks do. Here in this
town farms' remain .in the sate families
now for 'seen or eight generations, m.d
the settlers of 1635 have their names
still in town ;, and the same general fact
holds geed in ail the surrouuiling towns
in the county. This ha....d Work will al
lv,4ys, be done ; by.one kind of men; not by
sebehling speculators, inot by professors,
nor by' readers of TennFon,. hat by men
of strength and endurance.
The farmer has a great life) and 't great
appetite and health, and means for his
end. lie has broad land in which to
'place his home. lie has Wood to burn
great fires: Re has "plenty of: plain food.
His nilik at least:is watered: He has
sizep,.bettcr and Irma of it than men in
cities. But the farmer has grand gusts
confided to him in the great household of
nature. The farmer standslat the door
of eVery fainiby and Weighs to each their
life. ' It is for himto say whether 'men
shall marry or not. Early marriages and
the number of-births are indissolubly con
nected with abundance, or aslllurko said
--- 7 " man breeds at the month. i ! The farm-•
er is the Board of Quarantine. Re has
not only the life but the health of others
in his keeping.' Ile is the capital of
bealth.a4 his farm is the capital of wraith..
And it is from , him • and his influences
that the worth.aud pswor, moral and in
tellectual, Of the cities comes. The city
is always recruited from the country. The '
!men in the cities who are the centres of
i energy, the driving wheels trade or
'politics,- or arts of letters; the Women of
beauty and genius; are the children. or
'grand-children of farmerS, and are spend
ing the energies which their hard, silent
life accumulated in frost; furrofv, in pov
erty, in darkness; and in:necessity, in the
Summer's heat and Winter's cold.- Then
he has a universal factory. Hel who digs
land builds a well and makes a stone foun
tain, he who plants a grove of trees by
the roadside, who plants.an. orahard'and
builds a durable house, •or - even puts tr :
stone seat by the way side, Makes the
land lovely and desirable, and makes a',
fortune -Which , he cannot carry with hint,
but which is useful to his country and
mankind long afterward. Tile Man that
works at home moves society •throughout •
the.world. If it be true that- Uot by the
Ifiat of political parties, irut unon - esternal
laws of political economy, slavei are driv-I
en out of Missouri, out of Texas, out.ofl
the Middle States, out of Kentucky, dim!
the true Abolitionist is the farmer
MassachusettS, who, heedless of laws and',
Constitutions, stands all day in the field
investing his labor in the land and mak-.1
ing a product with which no forced hibcr
can in the long run contend. H The rich
man, we say, can speak the truth. It is .
the boast that was ever claimed for wealth,
that it could speak the truth, eciiild affor.l
Ifonesty, could afford independence of
opinion and action, and that is the theory
of nobility. But understand this :It is
only the rich man in the true sense who
can do this—the man who keeps his out
go within his income.
The boys who watch the spindles in
the English factoriiss, to . see that no
thread breaks or gets entangled, are call
ed "minders." And in this great factory,
of our Copernieian Globe, shifting its.
slides of constellations, tides and times,
bringing. now the day of planting, now'
the day of wateting, now the day oireap-,
ing, now the day of c7. - -,ring and storing,
the farmer is the 'minder." His ma-
chine is of collossal proportions ; the di
anic;er of the water wheel; - the arms ofl
the lever, timer power of the batters, out of
alI proportion; and it takes him long to'
understand its abilities and its working.

and accumulated the stagmun which

dents of all nations have in past years
been dedicating their education to uni
versal science, and they have reformed
our school-books, and our termincloy.—L-
Tbe four quarters of the globe are no len g-
Asia, Africa and America ;
but Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen and Ni
trogen. TI e four seasons of the year 'are
now Gravilation, Light, Heat and Elec
tricity. Science has been showing how
nature works in regard to the sapport of
marine animals by marine plants. So
nature works on the land—on a'plan of
all for each, and'eacir for all. You can
not detach any portion of its foreesland
retain a perfect nature. The flame of
fire that comes* out of the cubit foOt of
wood or coal is exactly the same in amount
as the light and heat which was taken in
in the sunshine in the form of leaves and.
roots, and now is given - out after a hun
dred thousand years. Thus lie in the
farm inexhaustible magazines. The. eter
nal rocks have held their oxygen and
limo undiminished and entire as they
were. No particle of oxygen can run
away or wear out, but-has the same eller'.
gy ;IS on the first morning. . The great
rocks-seem to say : "Patient waiters arc
no losers." Ve have not lost so Much
as a spasm of the power we received.
The earth works - for man.• It is a ma
chine which yields neNt 'service to 'every
application of intellect. Every plant is
a manufactory of ,soil. In the- stem of

an immense distillery, drinking in the
oxygen and the carbon from plants, and,
absorbin - g the e.3sere~ of every slid -on
the globe. It is the receptacle from
which all things. spring, and into which
all return. The invisible air takes form
and solid mass.- Our senses are sceptics,
and only believe the -impressions of the
Moment. They do not believe what is
demonstrated to them—that theie vast
mountain chains tire made of gases and

1 While the fanner has these grand , fel
-1 low laborers to assist him, and these ma-
Ijestic tools to work with, it must he bwn-
I ed that he. is not quite competent to their
direction. ; His servants are sometirnes.
too strong for him. His tools are too
sharp. , But this inequality finds its rem
edy in practice. Experieucri dually
_teaches him, and lie is thought hl. The
farmer hates innovation ; lie hates the hoe
till he tries it, prefer/Mg to scratch with
a stick ; he will wallk till he has tried the
railway car; but the oldest fogies among
us, now that the Atlantic Cable is laid,
would hardly set out to dispatch a letter
across the ocean by swimming with it in
his\ mouth. While such great energies
a:e !corking for the farmer, he is.,aiso to
I recollect the great power that is in small
1 things. It is very little that is required.
'lts internal force consists in a feii simple
arrangements.- Look, for instance, at the
powers of a _chest nu t rail. , • Look at that
Iprairie, hundreds of miles off, not a stick
or a stone upon it, except at rare inter
',yids: Well, the farmer manages to put
up a rail fence, and at once seeds sprout
and crops rise. It was ocly the browse
-and fire that kept them down. Plant a
1 fruit tree by the roadside and it will not
I - produce, nit hough it -receives many hints
I from projected stones and "sticks, 'that
fruit is desired to come dor.vn, and though
fruit has gone crude into the bowels of

!the Loys wiil let it alone and you will,
have fruit so large and luScions as to stem 3 '

and his vitfes ran out of all control.

From the iirmanent. nr; our hearts, and.
their place is ct i cptiatal dark. A moth:

kept our feet from stutriblittg on the dark ;
and treacherous ways; a sister's light,.so
