 friend of man. 



Premiums are to bo considered in no other light 

 than as the hire we pay intelligent and enterpris- 

 ing men, who undertake to teach us by their ex- 

 perience, their experiments and their examples, 

 and are no more the reason why we institute and 

 support agricultural societies, than the wages we 

 pay our school masters are reasons why we insti- 

 tute and support common schools. 



But some object that our instructions are not 

 adapted to the circumstances of people in conmijn 

 life. These examples, say they, vvhicii are here 

 held up for imitation, are suited only to the condi- 

 tion of the rich. And is it riches then which 

 makes one animal look sleek, and docile, and hap- 

 py, while another looks wretched, and downcast, 

 and miserable .' Is it riches wliich makes one 

 farm look neat, clean and in order, wiiilo another 

 is overgrown with thorns, thistles cover the face 

 thereof, and the stone wall thereof is broken downl 

 They say that it is the riches of these me» which 

 enable them to become successful competitors for 

 premiums, but uhis it premiums iviiich frsl made 

 them rich ? No, luy friends, it is not that the les- 

 son here given out is not suited to all, but that all 

 do not suitably comprehend the lesson ; and when, 

 this afternoon, you shall hear the names of suc- 

 cessful competitors announced, or shall see them 

 advance to receive their premiums, remember, you 

 not only have before you examples by which to ac- 

 quire ;j;'emu(ni5, but, in their management, habits, 

 and order in doing business, you also will have bo- 

 fore you examples by which to acquire riches. — 

 These are the men, who in the morning sow their 

 seed and in the evrnimr withhold not their hand. — 

 Tims with these men is money, and you will find 

 it so inscribed among the articles of their domes- 

 tic faith. Good tools, strong teams, neat farms, 

 and smart wives, are their cardinal points. We 

 are apt to attribute all t!ic poverty we suffer to the 

 dispensations of Providence, and all the wicked- 

 ness we perpetrate, to the instigations of the Devil. 

 But Providence maketh no man rich or poor by 

 miracle. He that sowelh sparingly shall reap spar- 

 ingly, and he that sowelh bountifully shall reap 

 bountifully. There are instances, here and there 

 an instance, where a man is made either rich or 

 poor by events wholly extraneous from himself.
