A YOUNG FARMER. 
Messrs. Eds.:—I will try my hand at tho pen, 
although not a writer, but a mechanic turned 
farmer. As it is your province to do good in the 
world, I thought I would contribute my mite to 
to tho Rural. 
I kuo w it is common for almost every one to find 
fault with his condition in life, and all are ready to 
leave their present ono for another, not realizing 
that a new profession i3 attended with many diffi¬ 
culties not foreseen, and that, consequently, cannot 
bo guarded against. Therefore, I would say to all, 
stick to your present business if it is an honorable 
one and yields you a support, and do not shift 
until you are convinced that you are not suited for 
tho business you follow. If you want to get a liv¬ 
ing without work you will have hardships to un¬ 
dergo still. 
Now I must speak of my experience as a Young 
Ruralibt. I left my former trade to regain my 
health, which had become impaired by a clos8 at¬ 
tention to business, and left the Eastern part of
