Yet, 21 in defiance of this reiterated truth, as an occupation, agriculture of itself, is degraded. Let politicians, or demagogues chant their paens to the tillers of the soil as they may, and tell them of the honor, and the dignity of their estate ; yet, practically, simple farming is consi- dered by those who assume to give tone and opinion in social and po- litical life, an inferior occupation, fit only for dull, unthinking, and uneducated men. "Were it not so, why are the Agricultural ranks... so continually deserted by our active and aspiring youth for the more worldly popular pursuits, under the belief that they are more advan- tageous 1 Look at our great, bustling cities, and towns. See on all sides our professions crowded to excess ; with, among the masses which throng them, but a comparatively few who are successful either in fame or fortune. View our merchants, and shopkeepers, overrun and undermined in competition with one another ; and clerks, and shopboys plentier and cheaper on their hands than the wares they hold on sale ; and all the motley congregations which are drawn about them by the spirit of adventure and of novelty ; while the petty political offices of the day are held up like lottery tickets, to an un- scrupulous and indiscriminate scramblej — all for the possession of a fancied prize in the great raffling match of adventure ; while the shop of the mechanic, or the artizan, which holds out a safe and durable re- ward to honorable labor, is hard pressed to find apprentices ; and the broad, inviting acres of the farmer, are lying sterile or unproductive, for lack of cultivation.
