'Not so with the business of the farmer; he may as readily learn its mechanical E :parts, but he has problems to solve and 7 mysteries to investigate. He should be familiar with the component parts of the substance on which he bestowes his laborâ€"their relative proportions, their affinities; their separate and compouna agencies, and the influence of other bodies in their adaption to the results he is laboring to obtain. In short, he must know the necessary and intimate connectiOn between cause and effect. I have said that the profession of ag. lsr l ricultnre requires more study than that is: of the artisan. If this be true, it is for- lc tunate for the farmer that he can com- 1; mand more time for its acquisition;â€" Winter is comparatively, and to him more peculiarly, a. season of leisure.â€"â€"â€" 1 Those who do not possess books on this ' subject, can readily berrow them.

Erery one is familiar with the name of Robin Hood, although so little is known of him. His real name Was Robb. Fitzroot, which degenerated in the mouths of the common people, into Robin Hood. He was an outlaw, who: Hired in the reign of Richard Coeur as ’ Lion, and John, his successor, about the close of the twelfth and the beginning of the thirteenth centuries. His head-i quarters were in Sherwood Forest, Not- tinghamshire; He is Said to have beeti a man of good bit th ; but, hailing squan- dered his property, took to the Woods; and became what might be called a " entleman robber.” At the time of executed with great rigor; and it is said that William the Conqueror, and the Norman kings that succeeded him, dc; stroyed thirty-six parishes, and pulled lown thirty churches and depOpulated d the country for miles around in order to have a fine park for enjoyingthe e pleasures of the chase; consequentij, a: great number of people were obliged to flee to the woods. These outcasts, havÂ¥ sg .. ing a common interest, banded together, c- and, by their {vigilance and determina- 19 tion, were able to avoid the pursuits of 'l: their enemies. It is said that Robin had a hundred companions, able bodied men. who'were so formidable that four [$1.50 per Annufii. men, wno were so 101 um dun) w “w u. hundred men dared not attack them. -â€" He seemed to have pursued a certain system in his robberies, and, wishing to pacify his conscience, spared the poor and plundered the rich. He was pur- ticuiarly gallant to women; ' hence it. is not stranne that his exploits bah been' vv wvâ€"â€".._ celebrated in a mimbei of haiiads and songs, extolling his chivalry, and hu- nianity to the poor.
