land must be met, interest taxes, and all the other demaiicU which are ingeniously made on the farmer's pocket. Some, indeed, give up in despair. One farm I know out of which, a few -weeke ago. the farmer walked, leaving it for ever. He had farmed it for some years, but this was the end. And, after all. perhaps he did be3t to cut his losses once and for all time, and be done with them. The public have heard much of recent years of the profite of just such, a farmer. They do not hear so much now of the end of all his supposed prosperity.
But, for mc. notwithstanding the kindness of the good people here, I think (this is no mere flamboyant affectation, but sober truth) that when the end is drawing near for mc, if the lowing of a. cow strikes on my ear, I shall more contentedly turn my face to the wall and pass resignedly to that land where there "'shall be no more cows."
