They ahoult know the world and be alive to the im provements of the age. Farmer* do Wrong to give up all learning to other minds, and lotdiedual pursuits to classes. Their vocation la the latlon oh which all the worldly Interests of society rest. Their calling Bsadh to be properly honored. Let the feeUng grow In the minds of nil that farmers must Improve themselves as Wall as thetr stock and farms, that thay must rise up to a higher life; that they must realise a noble man hood aod give good Intellectual, moral and social training to their children. By attending to these matters they Will grow up with their vocation, and honor agriculture with noble character and honorable lives. They will then make the calling of the farmer one of the highest and noblest profession* of the laird, and by honoring It they will confer honor Upon themselves. I will take the Hbetty of Jaktsg a few thoughts from ao article in the Bural Gentleman on educating the farmer ; The educational features of the Patrons of Husbandry Is seeoud In Importance to none other. The great Weakness of the farming sommanity heretofore consisted In defective edu cation—In a criminal Indifference to the educating of the farmers and tbs farmer's household up to that high standard which comported with the dignity of a prod near. Through the Instrumentality of the Grange the farmer is to be not only one who can exercise hie muscle, but, Cincionatus like, can go from the fteld and display equal virtue and Intelll- genoe In the managemeptof the affaire of the Govarnmest. It will ha a hap py time for tbte old Palmetto State when farmers are suited by education and experience for the proper dis charge of duty, whether in the Held or the halts of legislation. We would urge, therefore, upon tie Jartnm the necessity and Importance of giving this matter Increased attention In our county. We must stop the practice of being mere plodders. We moat move to the front with an lotelljgeace equal to that rf any other profession ‘ and that at ah early day. Our brains must be educated up to the highest standard of excellence, sad we must lit our* selves for every species of Intercourse with oar fellow men and be fully pre pared u> fill any and all positions that the Interest of the State may demand. Ibe spirit of anqulry after knowledge mast eon tin no to receive now impetus aad every farmer must keep himself to position to be informed upon all matters bearing upon pur Industries as Well m ail other matters affecting the various In tercets of Hfe» / The education of the farmer and his entire household la now the great thing aeedfal. An Intelligent,mil tlratedand virtuous yeomanry la a nations de fense, By means of It the hum-drum of farm Ufa vanishes like the airy vis ion of a dream. All the earth will ap pear more beautiful, life more Inviting and every aim more exalted. There fore let education progress among the farmers; lose no msans of educating themselves up to the highest standard, The Grange movement pm the whole agrtouHural world to thinking. It has already begun to elevate farming as a profession and haa drawn farmers nearer to east other socially and for business purposes. It has given Im petus to Intelligent farming all over the United States, Canada aod Euro pa It has sown seed that will ripea Into a rteb harvest of prosperity for the far- mere, sffd consequently for all classes. A* this la getting lengthy I will dose and promise to write you another tet ter aeon, entitled “The farmers wives and daughters and need of their ele vation.” Ooutw. <urr Tlfc-eW mf Life. and a neighbor visited the old tlad- dlffe tceldence on the rogri to Due West, and were shocked beyond meps- are to And the body of Miss Tabltha Raddlffe hanging from a rafter In tbs attic dead afid in an advaDcedarete of decomposition.
