CHAPTER XXIV. (Continued )

No hearer, not even Bartle Massey was 8° delighted with this toast as Mr. Poyser; ‘tough work’ as his first speech had been, he would bave started up to make another if he bad not known the extreme irregular-

|ity of such a course. Asit was, he found jan outlet for his feelings in drinking his | ale unusually fast, and setting down his glass with a swing of his arm and a deter- [mined rap. If Jonathan Burge and a few ‘others felt lers comfortable on the occasion, | they tried their best to look contented, and so the toast was drunk with a good-will ap- parently unanimous. :

Adam was rather paler than usval wen |

he got up to thank his friends. He was a. good deal moved by this public tribute— very naturally, fur he was in the presence | of all his little wor!d, and it was uniting to do him honor. Bat he felt no shyness about speaking, not being troubled with small vanity or lack of words; he looked neither awkward nor embarrassed, but stood in his usual firm, upright attitude, with his head thrown a little backward and his hands perfectly still, in that rough dig- nity which is peculiar to intelligent, honest, well-built workmen, who are never won- dering what is their business in the world. I’m quite taken by surprise,’ he said. ‘I didn’t expect any thing of this sort, for it’s a good deal more than my wages. But I’ve the more reason to be grateful to you, Cap- tain, and to you, Mr. lrwine, and to all my friends here, who’ve drunk my health and wished me well, It ‘ud be nonsense for me to be saying, I don’t at all deserve th’ opinion you have of me; that ’ud be poor thanks to you, to say that you've known me all these yeara, and yet haven’t sense enough to find out a great deal vo’ truth about me. You think, if I undertake to do a bit o’ work, I’ll do it well, be my pay big or little—that’s true. I'd be ashamed to stand before you here if it wasna true. But it seems to me, that’s a man’s plain duty, and nothing to be conceited about, and it’s pretty clear to me as I’ve never done more than my duty ; for let us de what we will, it’s only making tse o’ the sperrit and the powers that ha’ been given to us. And so this kindness o’ yours, I’m sure, is no debt you owe me, but a free gift, and as such I accept it and am _ thankful. And as to this new employment I’ve taker in hand, [’ll only say that I took it at Cap- tain Donnithorne’s desire, and that [Hl try to fulfill his expectations. I’d wish no better lot than to work under him, and to know that while [ was getting my own bread I was taking care of his interests. lor I believe he’s one o’ those gentlemen as wishes to do the right thing, and to leave the world a bit better than he found it, which it’s my belief every man may do. whether he’s gentle cr simple, whether he sets a good bit o’ work going and finds the money, or whether he does the work with his own hands. There’s no occasion for me to say any more about what I feel toward him—I hope to show it through the rest 0’ my life in my actions.’ There were various opinions about Adam’s speech; some of the women whis- pered that he didn’t show himself thakful enough, and seemed to speak as proud as could -be; . but most of the men were of opinion that nobody could speak more straightfor’ard, and that Adam was as fine achap as need to be. While such observations were being buzzed about, mingled with wondering as to what the old Squire meant to dofor a bailiff, and whether he was goipg to have a steward, the two gentlemen had riser, and were walking raund the table where the wives and chil- dren sat. There was none of the strong ale here, cf course, but wine and dessert— sparkling gooseberry for the young ones, and geod sherry for the mothers. Mrs. Poyser was at the head of this table, and Totty was now seated in her lap, bending her small nose deep down into a wine-glass, in search of the nuts floating there.

‘How do you do, Mrs. Poyszi?’ said Arthur. ‘Weren’t you pleased to hear your husband make such a gvod_ speech to- day

‘Oh, sir, the men are mostly so tongue- tied—you’re forced parily to guess what they mean, as you do wi’ the dumb creatures.’

‘ What! you thiok you could have made it better for him?’ said Mr. Irwine, laugh- ing. * Well, sir, when I want to ssy anything, I can mostly find words to say it in, thank God. Not as I'm a-finding faut wi’ my husband, for, if he’s aman o’ few words, what he says he’ll stand to,’

‘I’m sure I never saw a prettier party than this,’ Arthur said, looking round at the apple-cheeked chtldren. ‘My aunt and the Miss Irwines will come up and see you presently. They were afraid of the noise of the toasts, but it would be a shame for them not to see you at the table.’

He walked on, speaking to the mothers and patting the children, while Mr. Irwine

Farming the Most Honorable and about agricultural labor.

Profitable Pursuit.

A PAPER RZAD BEFORE THE FARMERS’ CLUB AT CARDIGAN, BY JAMES D. DEWAR, ESQ.

Mr. Prestpent,—In the early history of

man’s crestion, tilling the ground and)

s'ock-raising was a very honorable and pro- fitable calling. Soon after this event, we find that the hushandmen brought the first- lings of their flock avd the fruits of the

ground as an offering to their Creator, and!

gifts and offerings were held in common for many generations afterwards. But the interesting history of the Man of Uz, and many others in the same age, allords an ample proof of the profits of farming an stock-raising : and though he was immense- ly rich in worldly gocds, his heart was not

hardened agains: those in distress. He

relieved the poor and the fatherless, and caused the widow’s heart to sing with joy,

and though gold, silver and precious stones | he had in abundance, it was considered far more honorable to confer gifts from flocks

and herds.

domestic animals very highly, particularly their milch kine, which were treated with as much gentleness as members of their family. It would be well if deirymen of the present day would copy the example.

In this age of the world, the soil appar- ently was in its virgin state, and had all the elements necessary for the support of the avimal and vegetable kingdom. But further on in its history we fird that pride and arrogance had seized the hesrts of the peopte, and Lords, Dukes, Baronets, and Knights were created, and the Lords monopolized the land, and let it in small plots to tenant farmers, men who were un- skilled ia the service of farming an1 stock- raising, and the soil became dipleted by over-harvesting, ‘These email tenants were generally a despised class, who were con- sidered unfit for any other occupation than to plod and delve on a farm, and these sentiments were deeply implanted in the minds of many farmers, as well as those who lorded over them as the sequel will show.

If a farmer was so fortunate es to have a smart, promising son, ho was sent to study the professions, and if he happened to have a clown, he was retained on the farm to cultivate the soil, and if a banker, com- mercial or a professional man, had the mis- fortune to fail in business, he invariably turned his attention to farming. Is it any wonder that farming should fail in the hands of such unskilled husbandmen.

But it is pleasing to observe that the farmer’s vocation is every day becoming better understood by coiamercial and pro- fessional men generally, Formerly it was thought that any man (j “oviding he was a muscular one) was comp: ent to be a farm: er. Education was cons.iered to be useless to him; but the time i: fast ergerecying when it will be as essential for a er to go through a course of study preparatory to his vocation as any professional man.

But a man is a social being, and likes social gatherings; the farmer is deprived of these gatherings when compared with the professional man. This deficiency would be alleviated to a certain extent if farmers would hold frequent intercourse with each other and exchange opinions upon topics con- nected with farming and dairying. Such social attractions would smooth down their rough points, if any they have, give free- dom*and ferce to their ex ions of opinion, while promoting a spirit of brother- hood advantageous alike to the individu- als and to the community. Isolation tends to cherish selfishness, and is impervious to social virtues,

What we need at present is amore ex- tended agricultural education, an educa- tion which would enable us not only to comprehend mechanical rules, and well- established practices, but the reasons upon which they were founded. Labor is the chief source of national and individual wealth, and the greater degree of intelli- gence we could infuse into it, the greater returns we might expect. Within the past few years, scivnce has contributed greatly towards the advancement of every art, and every department of industry, and there is no art which owes more to science than that of agriculture.

Farming must be reduced to a system, that, like law, medicine or mechanics, it

may be studied both theoretically andj?

practically by those who enter upon it. It must be interwoven with our ordinary education, and paid special attention to in our schools.

How valuable is a knowledge of the cen- stituent parts of the soil—of their combina- tion and the elements of fertility they might lack, of the chemical composition of the plants we might wish to produce, their habits and the food they require. All such knowledge must give its a vast advantage over those iess informed. Fail- ure in growth might be thus frequently guarded against, and various means de- vised to improve modes of culture. The cultivation of the soil, carefully followed up, would afford ample room for the rising generation to exercise both their mental

VOL. 16-—N0. 75._

If there be any toil that is dignified, elevated and noble, it ‘is that which is bestowed on the culture of farm and garden products, the rearing of animals and the operation of the dairy. To ‘make and enjoy a comfortable rural home is no mean ambition, and the false notions _of respectability and gentility which are over-crowding professional offices, banks and counting houses in the cities, cannot be too soon exchanged for just views of

things as they ere.

It isa mistake to suppose that wealth is necessary to make a country life desi:able and pleasant. There is ample scope for a good use of wealth on afarm. But, in the absence of it, there may be independence,

q healthy freedom from anxiety and care, a

well-filled barn and « happy heme. are discontented souls in every condition ; but we believe that the gréat majority of farmers and their families appreciate their a/ivantages and are contented with their lot.

The agricultural resources of this country

are but very partially developed as yet. Farming bas been tco much a process of exhaustion, rather than improvement, But as wealth and intelligence are turned into rural channels, and a wise system of culture adopted, we shali see a gratifying change in the aspect of affairs, and there will be a more general belief of that sentiment in which there is, after all, more truth than poetry: “‘God made the country—wman made the town.” Every young farmer who has the wis- fortune of commencing business in a state of —- what is strangly and inaccurately called ‘‘single bl ness,” should get married as soon as he can; for with a suit- ably qualified partner, he will find his home more attractive, and his business more pro- fitable. A farmer without a wife is like half a pair of scissors. N> man amounts to much without one. But for « farmer & wife is one of the essentials. No svoner was Adain the first tiller of the soil created, than the Creator said, ‘‘It is not good that the man should be alone, I will make hima help meet.”

The farmer's wife is emphatically a

partner in his business. On her devolves the care of the dairy in addition to the routine of household duties, Her sphere of action, thongh strictly domestic, is a wider one than that of the ordinary house- wife. As her husband, in vir'ue of the ownership of Jand which he subdues and tills, is entitled to the name of landlord with all the cares and hunors the name implies, so she 1s entitled to the name of landledy, and must assume the responsibil- ity as well as the respect. The position of the wife of a farmer is not only one of use- fulness, but is also very stable and inde- pendent. Farmers seldom fai!, we may say never, or hardly ever, if they attend to their legitimate business. The farmer may not have the wealth, display and the style of the merchant and fokeliailintts But his wife does nut live in fear of panics and sheriffs’ visits. The soil responds generally to generous culture, and her cellar and pantry are never empty. She is sure of a comfortable living let trade be ever so much disturbed. If the grain or roots cannot be sold at a profit, they can be converted into beef, mutton, pork, butter, cheese and eggs; and the former will be all the more productive for such consumption. Sach independence and freedom from risk are far more conducive to happi than all the wealth, with its coroding cares,which arich merchant’s stock, bought and sold, have ever earned. The Farming Advocate says : ‘‘The great want which we,as farmers, experience is organization. While our fellow men who are engaged in other avoca- tions band themselves together to protect the interests of their occupations, we as farmers have, to a great extent in the past, been plodding along as if each one felt that upon himself alone depevded the advarce- ment of the interests of his calling. Now this is a mistaken idea, and the sooner we bring about a complete revolution in this respect the sooner we will secure for our- selves and our occupation the proud posi- tion to which we are entitled. I claim that every farmer should be a member of an Agricultural Society, and also of a Farmer's Club, and take an active part in them.

The greatest difficulty always been to get a sufficient number of farmers to take an interest in them and organize. By carrying on such societies in eonnection with agricultural societies we will accom- lish this, and will aleo aid them by mak- ing their exhibitions more successful.

Another great benefit to be derived from such meee th that — J ba °
