THE GENESEE FARMER. 



31 



Hems' Department. 



It was our intention to occupy at leaat one page 

 of this number with matter interesting to our young 

 friends — but the Bpace devoted to other departments 



Compels US to contract our anticipations, as well as 

 articles. We have hardly room to begin to ttilk with 

 the thousands of hoys who, we hope, are constant 

 and attentive readers of the Farmer — and who, if 

 they act well their several parts in the pathway of 

 life, will soon become intelligent, useful, and honor- 

 able men. But it shall be our endeavor to make 

 amends, in future numbers, for the lack of instruction 

 or amusement in the present. Premising thus much, 

 we wish our youthful readers a " Happy New Year;" 

 trusting that they will so improve the hours, days 

 and months of 1849, as to acquire the sound prin- 

 ciples, industrious and systematic habits, and mental 

 wisdom necessary to constitute capable and intelli- 

 gent cultivators, good brothers, husbands and fathers, 

 and worthy citizeirs. 



Farmer's Boys. — There is a wholesome change going on 

 in public sentiment, which promises to do much for the 

 improvement of the country, and the condition of the people. 

 We mean the change which is taking place among the young 

 in relation to the great work of tilling the soil. A lew years 

 ago, and the young men left their father's farms as soon as 

 thej could get away from them — and the fathers themselves 

 not unfreiiuently encouraged them in it. A hard hand and 

 a sunburnt face were deemed poor recommendations in life ; 

 and more genteel modes of getting a living were sought by 

 the young. But they are beginning to look at the matter in 

 a different light. The dull times through which we have 

 passed, have opened their eyes to the fact, that after all there 

 is nothing like a farmer to stand through all times, and they 

 are quite content to stay at home. The result will be, that 

 our farms will be to a very great extent better cultivated, and 

 produce more — that large farms, which are not half cultiva- 

 ted, will be divided, and well husbanded — and that we shall 

 have a large and virtuous population scattered all over our 

 fertile hills. — Nashua Tel. 



The appetite for sensual pleasures palls with enjoyment. 

 With moia] and intellectual pleasures, the reverse is true.
