In an essay read before the Lake George Fruit
(i rowers Atsociation, by Mrs. A. B. Kartlett, of
Georgetown, Kla., the following poiitiotis are
taken: When our agriculturist hu got his place
into such a ennditon that ho hat a comfortable
income no debtt regular meals every day, at
he chooses, his young people fairly educated, then
what? "Well, civilization, life." Life in all
its fullness and beauty, as intended by our all
wise Creator. He has health, or ought to have,
and every good thing is open to hiin. Just so
far as his taste is in harmony with the laws of
right living, and the peace of his fellow-creatures,
ao far is he at full liberty to carry out his
tastes. Then comes in all the amenitiei of civil
ization. In tho world of books he has free ac
cost to all its wit, all tho wisdom of the past.
With Komoo he can woo fair Juliet in thu bal
cony, tame thu shrew with Petruchio, or see
Bottom translated in the magic Athenian wood,
with tears of inextinguishable laughter. Aladdin
had a wonderful lamp, which, when he rubbed,
immediately there came to him a geniui of tho
air, who brought him whatsoever he desired.
Like that lamp is tho love of reading, to tho
man of imagination. It brings "that light
which never waB, on sea or on land," whereby
the universe' of common things is transfigured
and glorilied. Or if ho cares not for the lig.
moots of others' brains, nor the history of their
toil, defeat, or triumph, thon can ho travel over
the "whole round world" and eeo it with his
own cyct.
Civilization haa so triumphed for him, with
lost of toil and weariness, than a century ago
it would have required for tho journey from
I'lorida to WathingUin. So entirely, in the
hittory of these United States, have agricul
ture and civilization marched abreast and with
an oven stride. If ho care neithur for liookB
nor travelt, the whole world of art, architecture,
muiie and painting await Ins call. If he love
tho drama, his sous and dnughters are ready to
enjoy thcnitolves and entertain h mi bv I.
nig before him temperance dramas, scenes Irom
tho immortal Pickwick, and i-hnro.. f,., n...
jubilee singon. Thus the successful agricul
turist lavs the foundations, broad and strong
lor the highest civilization. Hy the succession
of its humblest processes, slowly but surely,
eradicating those nomadic instincts, which tin
over prevent! the mildest, possible savage from
attaining the development ami solf.poise of
civilization. Our agriculturist may bo to a de
gree ideal, without some ideal, ho will never
awn even a iasBtlile agriculturist. My claim
", without a fair duveloon.i.ei ( ...;....!....
mln-atii.n is impossible, r at least there is no
record ol any such. Also, that the .'UT Ii II I t II t
claim to enjoy tho highest product! of
