Farmer's Boy's

The following article, which we find in the ValUy Farmer, a Western agricultural periodical, we commend to the attention ot every farmer's boy. Parents should also point itout to their son% and, if necessary, read it to tliem carel'ullv, and then hand tbe article over to them without cominent, unless the remarks be ff a mild and pleasing nature: f'In the wide world, there ia no more importaut thing than farmers' boys. They are not so important for what they are, as tor wbat they will be. Át present they are ot but little conse quence too often. But farmers' boys always have been, and we presume alwaya will be, the material out of which the noblest men are made. - Thevhave health and streng', h; they have bone and muscle; they have lieart and will; they have nerve and patience; they h&ve ambition and endurance; and these are the material that make men. Not buckrams and broadaloth, and pateut laather and beaver tur, and kid gloves and watch eeals, are the materials oi which men are made. It takes better etuff to make a man. It ie not fat and flesh and gwagger and selt-eonceit, nor yet smartness, nor flippancy, nor foppery, nor fastness. Thete make fools, but not men; not men such as the world wants, nor such as it will honor and bless. It is not long hair, nor rauch beard. nor a pipe, nor a cigar, nor a quid of tobáceo, nor an oath, nor a lass of beer or brandy, nor a dog and gun, nor a pack of cards, nor a novel, nor a vulgar book of love and murden nor a tale of cdventures, that makes a man, or has anythiug to do with making a man. Farmprs' boys ought to keep clear of all these idlo, fonlish things. They should be ernployed with nobler objects. They have yet to be meD of clear grit, honest, intelligent, industrious men, who shall love their country and their kind. With the means they possess. how easy for them be in fact the first-class men. They have latid and stock and tools; they have health, tixnö, and mina; they huve schools and churches and papers; they hare books and perseverance, and the heart and hand for work. iore than this they need not. Let them awake and work and study It is not all work nor yet all study, that will mafce men of the right stamp. They must work intelligently and study with earnest purpose pf being benefitted, and then they will become what they ought to be, tha real men of the world."
