Opis

Excerpt from Scientific Agriculture: An Address Delivered Before the Hampshire, Franklin,& Hampden Agricultural Society; At Northampton, Oct, 24, 1827 It is an interesting evidence of Divine Beneficence, that there is intermingled with the immensely varied pursuits of men, so nearly an equal portion of enjoyment. So wisely adapted to our circumstances are the laws of habit, that we soon become contented, and even pleased, with a situation, which seemed at first, the grave of all our comforts. But this is not all. There are sources of enjoyment in every occupation that are peculiar; that exist in no other. Hence it happens, as a general fact, that men have no wish to change employments with their neighbors. We may covet some particular possessions, or circumstances of our neighbor; but when the question is, whether we will entirely change situations with him, the preference we feel for our own profession or art, will, in most cases, give a ready negative to the enquiry. What but necessity will bring the sea tossed and hard-faring sailor to settle down contentedly in the peaceful farm house, with all its security, and all its plenty. On the other hand, what but irregular habits, or disappointed hopes, will tempt a man, who has become habituated to the pleasure of cultivating his own farm, to commit himself to the mercy of the waves and storms of the ocean. You may, indeed, draw the artizan abroad for a day or two in the summer, to relieve the pressure of the farmer. But he goes back again to his shop, gratified that an easier task is his, than to toil beneath a burning sun.
