MISCELLANEOUS 



ARROGANCE OF WEALTH. 



The vassalage of fashion, which is a part of 

 rank, prevents CDntinually the free expansion of 

 men's powers. Let us liave the greatest diversity 

 of occupations. But this does not imply that there 

 is a need of splitting society into castes or ranks, 

 or that a certain number should arrogate superiori- 

 ty, and stand apart from the rest of men as a sepa- 

 rate race. Men may work indifferent departments 

 of life, and yet recognize their brotherly relation. 

 and honor one another, and hold friendly commu- 

 nion with one another. Undoubtedly, men will 

 prefer as friends and their common associates, 

 those with whom they sympathise most. But this 

 is not to form a rank or caste. For example, the 

 intellectual seek the company of the intelligent; 

 the pious, those who reverence God. But sup- 

 pose the intellectual and the religious to cut them- 

 selves ofT by some broad, visible distinction, from 

 the rest of society ; to form a clan of their own ; 

 to refuse into their houses people of inferior knowl- 

 edge and virtue, and to diminish, as far as possi- 

 ble, the occasions of intercourse with them ; would 

 not society rise up as one man against the arrogant 

 exclusiveness ? And if intelligence and piety 

 may not be the formations of a caste, on what 

 ground shall they, who have no distinction but 

 wealth, superior co.stume, richer equipages, finer 

 houses, draw lines around themselves, and consti- 

 tute themselves n higher class ? 'J'hat some should 

 be richer than others, is natural and is necessary, 

 and can only he prevented by gross violations of 

 inherent rights. Leave men to the free use of 

 their powers, and some will accumulate more than 

 their neighbors, and through honest means. But 

 to be prosperous is not to be superior, and should 

 form no barrier between men. Wealth ought not 

 to secure to the prosperous the slightest considera- 

 tion. The only distinctiojis wliich should be re- 

 cognized are those of the soul — strong moral prin- 

 ciple, incorruptible integrity, and a cultivated in- 

 tellect. 



A man in proportion as he had these claims to 

 respect, should be honored and welcomed every- 

 where. I see not why such a man, however coarse- 

 ly, if neatly dressed, should not be a respected 

 guest in the most splendid mansions and at the 

 most brilliant meetings. A man is worth infinite- 

 ly more than all the gorgeous saloons and cos- 

 tumes and show of the universe. He was made 

 to tread all these beneath his feet. What an in- 

 sult to hnmnnity is the present deference that is 

 paid to dres.s and upholstery; as if silkworms and 

 looms, scissors and no'fedles, could produce some- 

 thing more noble than man. Every good man 

 should protest against a caste founded on outward 

 prosperity, because it exalts the outward above the 

 inward — the material above the spiritual : bo- 

 cause it springs from and cherishes a contemptible 

 pride in superficiaj and transitory distinctions; be- 

 cause it alienates man from his brother, breaks the 

 tie of common humanity, and excites jealousy, 

 acorn and mutual ill-will. — Charming. 



HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH. 



Great improvements have heon made the past year in the 

 form ami workmanship of these Ploughs; the mould Ik aril 

 has heen so formed as to la\j the furrow complefehj odct, 

 lurnlrg in every particle of grass or stubble, and leaving the 

 ground in the best possible manner. The length of the 

 mould hoard has hi n very much increased, so that Ihe 

 Plough works with the greatest ease, both wuh respect to 

 llie holding and the team. The Committee at the late trial 

 of Ploughs at Worcester, say, 



" Should our opinion he asked as to which of the Ploughs 

 we should prefer for use on a farm, we might perhaps say lo 

 the inquirer, it your land is mostly light and easy lo work, 

 try Prouty & Mears, hut if your landis heavy, hard orrocLy, 



BEGIN WITH Mu. HoWAHD's.'' 



At the uhove mer.f.oned trial the Howard Pl'^ugh did 

 more work, with the same power of team, than any other 

 plough crhibiled. No other turned more than twenlysc/en 

 and one half inches, to the 112 Ihs. draught, while Ihe 

 Howard Plough turned twentynine and onehalf inches, to 

 the same power of team ! All acknowledge that Howard's 

 Ploughs are much the strongest and most suhstanliolly 

 made. 



There has been quite an improvement made on the shoe, 

 or land side of this Plough, which can he renewed without 

 having to furnish a new landsiile; this shoe likewise seciues 

 the mould hoard and landside together, and strengthens tlie 

 Plough very much. 



The price of the Ploughs is from S6 to Sl5. A Ploiiph, 

 sufficient for breaking up with four cattle, will cost ahoiil 

 i'lQ 50, and with cutter Si, with wheel and cutter, S2 .'iO 

 extra. 



The aliove Ploughs are for sale, wholesale and retail, at 

 the New England Agricultural Warehouse and Seed Sture, 

 Nos. 51 & 52 North Market Street, hy

A sand-bank once caved in, and covered up a 

 Mr Knowledfje. As his friends were digging for 

 liiin with their shovels and pick-axes, a passer-by 

 inquired what they wert; doing. " We are in pur- 

 suit of Knowledge under difficulties," was the re- 

 ply. A humorous pun upon a very grave subject.
