FARMING IN MAINE.
Our Agriculture is improving. Our farmers are rousing up their energies and intellects; they are brushing up their farms; they are clearing up the forest; they are breaking up their fallow ground, they are putting up new houses; they are filling up their store-houses and granaries with bread; they are bringing up their children to take a pride in the calling of a FARMER. Every thing is upward; it is no longer down East. The Mechanics, too, are looking up. They have got up a splendid Fair, which was held last week. They, too, are waking each other up. They are calling upon one and another to be up and doing. They are every year introducing new inventions, and giving up old ones for better. Every thing begins to be UPWARD, and no longer downward. Why, then, should the old phrase "down East," be used? We move, sir, that it be changed to Up East and call for the yeas and nays.—Maine Farmer.
