Il has been justly said of the Farmer’s occupation, that il involves as much skill, as much interest, atul as much honor, as uiy object within the range of the atten tion, or the action of man. It was cer- taiidy man’s first employment, and with out doubt, the happiest in which he can lie engaged. True, he labors hard, and by the sweat u\ his brow earns In'? bread; and this is common to most vocations in to which manual labor enters. liut then he has his season of enjoyment, and is at all times relieved fi om the responsibility, anxiety, and the risk of the merchant, or Ihe intense application and fearful solici tude of the professional man. The oc cupation of agriculture being more stea dy and less liable to the fluctuations ex- periencerl in almost every other vocation, mode especially dependant or commerce, tenils to a inore regular, simple, and con sequently, to a more moral life.
