kr~merz t primt. WHY IS THE FARMER DISCONTENTED. There is an instinctive desire in the breast of most persons to leave the noise and con fusion of crowded places, and retire at some time to the peaceful village and the-quiet of rural life. The tradesman and artizan, wea ry of their confinement, long for a wider field of action, while the merchant, harassed by the exposure of his property to the fickle elements, and the danger to those who go down to the sea in ships, sees in the distance the evening of his days embellished by the comforts clustering around a home in the country. Others possess the taste for a home on the farm from early youth, and when separated from it, are ever elevating the old root-tree and the happy haunts of childhood above all the pomp and glitter of cities, and the trappings of fashionable life. For us, the farm has ever had this charm, and its implements are familiar to our hands, and the opinions we express have been form ed on the farm, while engaged in its labors and enjoying its pleasures. We look back to its renovated precincts with as much tender solicitude as does the graduate to his beloved alma mater, and live over our youth again in the recollection of its delightful la bors, scenes and recreations. But since those times, great changes have taken place in the modes of cultivating the soil, as in most of the business men pursue. Facilities in printing and publishing have kept pace with other improvements of the age. The exact experiments of the scholar, the accurate observations of the farmer, dissertations, pamphlets and newspapers have been multiplied without number, through the magic power of the press. In these have been discussed the :nanual oper ations or the farm ; the plowing, planting. haying, draining, subsoiling, and nature of the boils; and, although much may well be said upon each of these fruitful topics, we shall not occupy space with more than a casual reference to any of them. It was once supposed that the profits of the farm, and the beauty of the homestead, depended upon the hands, alone. That er ror has had its day, wrought its evil and de parted, we trust, never to return. A better opinion now prevails, that labor, to be pro. fitable, must be guided by intelligence, and it is of the importance of tt-at intelligence that we propose to sperk. On the rugged mountain. and beautifully sweeping vales of New England-on the broad prairies of the West, and the sunny acres of the South, the same causes are op erating against an earnest aid hearty love of rural life, and its occupations. We assume the fact, that great discontent exists in relation to that lite; that young men and young women are dissatisfied with the employments of the fhrmn, and are seek ing in speculative schemes that ailnent for the mind, which they have failed to-find in rural occupations, and a quiet home. If we can suggest a remedy for this evil, we shall deem it of more importance than to throw new light on the conmmon business of the fields, and the barn, or to enforce anmy principal of vegetable-or animal exis tanice. Large numbers commenee farming, with out other capital than their own physical force, directed by their native good sense. They succeed in establishing ~a pleasant home, and in educating and rearing a iami ly, through long and patient industry, andi careful economy ; and this is the manner in which those engaged in mercantile atfairs, who have become wealthy, hav-e acquired that wealth; by uninterrupted effort, both in acquiring and saving. Anid the cases are somewhat rare, where the young farmner of good health and habits, fails of establishing an attractive home, and acquiring a comupe .tence; while it has been assertained that out of every one hundred wvho have entered upon mercantile p~ursumits in the largest city oft New England, upw~ard< of ninety have failed. The startling but well ameihenticated fact, should have ani influience on yommg men emb~arking in business, and upon young; women, too, about making alliances wvhich can only end with liti.; for they are equallyv interested in the welfare andl happiness of the family. Farm work requires a capital in coin, in talents, and in muscle and sinew, as wvell as in merchandizing and navigating the ships of commerce. When this capital is invested, farm-~work is no maore a labor of drudgery than any other-it is not half so much so. If this be drudgery, what shall wve call the confinement of the law-office and the court room, or the judge's beneh'? What the dull routine of the merchant's dutties behind the counter, with his daily liability to p~ro tested notes and b'ankrumptey ? W hat thme daily task of the mechanic, haippy if releas ed after a ten hour's toil, or that of opera tors in the cotton-mill, sumnmoned by bell and encased in codes of regulations? No -it is not the emuploymenit of the fiels that is drugery-it is the man's mind that is enslaved. That mind does not spring from the- sod, buoyant with life and in telligence, searching and inquiring inito the wonderful operations above, beneath -and around him. Let him turn his thoughts to ChemistryI in its relation to his employment, and he will soon be convinced, that no man has yet lived long enough to understand the strange yet beautiful operations constantly carried on in his trees plants flowers and animals. The, lawyer is tied to his terums, and the merchant to his counter; the physician to his never-ceasing horse-mnill rounds, the cler gyman to his parish and the mechanic to his bench. But the termer breathes the free winds of heaven on his hills, and drinks from the crystal springs that flow through his valleys. The first beams of the morn ing sun touch his brow amid the waving grain of his garnished fields, while hie bathes his feet in the cold dews that have gathered upon the bending grass, lie reclines at noon in the shade of his old trees, and walks among his spriniging corn, or profits by the cheerful criticisms of his wife and children upon his garden culture, as they stroll among the plants he is rearing, lie goes to mill or to market at will ;-attends the Country Fair in autumn with his fat oxen, lusty steers, or mamnmoth vegetables; takes a premium on orchards, hog meadows, or corn and cabbages, while his wife bears off the palm for making the best butter, and his unmasried daughters receives the silver goblet for the best loaf of wheaten bread. He finds a day to look in upon the General l Court; or, perchance, is a constituent part of that honorable body himself. He is ther man to conduct the town business, for a ref eree, for a juror, or for any other honora ble calling.f While-cultivating the fields, lhe is in the school-room of nature, and it is his ownu fault if he does not study her ways, and a make her subserve his purposes. She calls lI to him fr-om her mountains, and valleys, y and strearns, from t'he air that cools his hea- ii tea brow andthe deit-benieath bh wi. :i She pleads constantly for his attention a through the birds of the air, and the beasts s of the field, in the change of the seasons, a in showers, sunshine, frost and vapor. Is a there no voice in these, to him who tills the t ground or fells the forest? Are these all a b sealed book to him, because he is a tiller of '] the soil ? lf-so, he should it waken to their 11 perpetual call, be led to a consideration of lh the delights which are hourly offered to his e mind, and rejoice in gratitude that he is per- i mitted to be free upon the acres which he t is gladdening by his care.-N.

The great demand nade at the Patent s Office, this year, for the Chinese Sugar Cane, o indicates that the cultivation will be very it extensive, the only difli- nity in the way be- t ing the want of cheap and portable ma chinery for extracting the juice of the cane. This difficulty, we see, our own inventors i are endeavoring to remove. A Mr. Hodges, o of Cincinnati, has a machine on exhibition at t Washington, which is designed for a sugar s mill. It consists of three vertical ca.st iron f rollers, supported between east ii on plates, t resting upon a triangular wood frame. about f eight feet on its sides. Under each corner e is a large truck wheel, so adjusted, when t working ats to revolve in a circle, the shaft < of one of the rollers occupying the centre s of the frame, and clutched fast to a timber i below, preventing its turning, while the other two, being geared into it at the top, are made to revolve around it as the whole a frame is turned by the horse. On one cor ner is a feed table, fiom which a man feeds the cane, which, having been acted upon by ' the two rollers, passes out upon a table on l the other corner. which is removed as often as t suflicient quantity accumulates. The juice passes down through the bedplate, and is received in a vessel made for that purpose. Cheap and portable machinerv is all that is wanted to test the great experiment which is now being tried with the Chinese sugar cane.-Phil. Ledger. ANOTHER SOAP RECIPE. The following recipe, says the Columbus i Siu, for making soap was handed to the 1 editor of the Clayton Banner, and is said to t be the same the venders of the " soap recipe" t are selling throughout the country, at from 10 to 25 dollars. The proportions are: 1 Half gallon of water. Half table spoonful of Sal Soda. One do do Spts. Turpentine. One do do Hartshorn. I One do do Salt. Six pounds Soap. Boil the water first-shave up the soap used-any kind will do-then stir it in the 1 water. Add the other ingredients and boil live ninutes-when cool. it is fit for use. C~oTToN-SE5n Ou..-One of the most in teresting results of judicious ingenuity and experiments mtay be seen at the Metropoli tan Mechanics' Fair, in the term of an oil t of native growth and superior qualities-we [ refer to the cotton seed oil. It is shown by the inventor, Mr. Will. Wilber, who has t also on exhibition a series of ntchines spe I cmIly designed and constructed for the ex pression of vege.table oils. The cotton seed oil is shown in its first expiressedl. and also1 in its purified states; int the latter it looks like a beautiful olive oil. It is said to ibe good for tabile use as a salad, as well us ter lamps and for soap) making.

Thtey gide in- t to hem by di grees antd al most unconsei-i uusly ;and, before they arte awarte of dain-, ger, the habits are confirmed, and requtire t resolute and persistent effort to affect a chantge. " Resist beginnings" was aS ai m lit of thte ancientts, and should be preserved as I i lantdmark in oitr day. Theli Baultimuore I Sun has a good article on thte slight begin Ititgs of' danger which end in fattal ruin: "It was only the other day that a man il Iell asleep in his boat oni thte Niagatra river. e Durinig his slutttber the boat broke loose im tromt its moooring, and he wvoke to finid him-.i slf shooting downt the rapids, directly to wards the cataract.

For days and weeks these A nfortunates drifted about without oar or" ll on the hot broken tropical ocean. At - st their provision failed, and then their rater. Still they drifted about, vainly look. tg for a sail or hoping for a sight of land. Iternative became inevitable-death from arvation or of feeding upon human flesh ed they were just beginning to cast lots for victim, when a vessel was seen on the dis tnt horizon. They abandoned their terri le design; the stranger would approach. he ship came towards them; she drew j earer and nearer. They strove to attract at er attention by shouts, and by raising their 1 lothing, but the indolent look-out saw them ot. They shouted louder and louder, still j hey were not seen. At last the vessel it icked. With frantic terror they rose in ne body, shouting and waving their gar cents. It was in vain ; the unconscions hip stood steadily away. Night drew n, and as the darkness fell, they drifted C nd drifted in the other direction till the last race of the vessel was lost fbrever. "So it is in life.
