APDr.Ess OF Fk.v>xis p. Bl.uf., Esq., to tlie Agricultural Association of Montgoraerj' county, Md. Delivered at the 

 late Fair at Eockvillc. 



We have to thank a friend for a copy of this able Address. "We are glad to see rural 

 aftairs assume an aspect of new life and vigor in the South. The State and County Fairs 

 of ISu.j in Maryland have been very successful, and must have done much to arouse the 

 cultivators of that State, and spur them on to improvement. Tlie following passage in Mr. 

 Blaik's Address should be read and re-read by those who are in the habit of looking with 

 contempt on country life : 



"Men who have made fortunes in our cities begin now to appreciate the value of country life, 

 however averse or unsuited to it they may have been rendered by habit The common guide- 

 book of Paris, which is put into every traveler's hand, has this note under the head of population : 

 'Families constantly residing in Paris soon become extinct The effects of this mortality are 

 observed to be more active upon males than females.' What is true of Paris is true of every city 

 in the world. There is not probably a man in London, Paris, New York, or Philadelphia, who 

 can say that his great-grandfather, his grandfather, and his father, successively, lived and died in 

 the city of his residence. There is no such thing as a survivor of three generations that have 

 undergone the decomposing power of a city atmosphere, assisted by city pursuits. A city, then, 

 may be said to die out once in a hundred and fifty years, so far as regards those rooted genera- 

 tions that live, and move, and have their being only within a city's precincts, TV^hocver, then, 

 would have succes-sion in his family — that desires to transmit his name and wealth by perpetuating 

 his race — should at some period of his life take his leave of walls and pavements and crowded 

 thoroughfares, and fi.K his abode in the midst of rustling foliage, green fields, clear streams, and 

 sweet air, untainted by stagnation in the walled streets, and alleys, and sewers.
