families of peepers, lahourets, or mechanics are living to

they should undertake to "remember Cm Sabbath-

entirely from the poblie.lbouse. To some these multi-

Jedge fmai the following figures, if such • scheme be.
geoerslly adopted, how the wealth of the country would
inereased. All wealth conies out of the ground in
the shape of either raw or manufactured food and
mater Ll. From God', Word we learn that '• the profit
of the earth is for al; the King himself is served of the
held!' Now supposing the Prince of Wake to get at
preempt ET en acre foe his land round this town, and
supposing his Royal Highness' tenante to get an average
pe.dupe of EA an saw; if 1.... oornset in my ,estimste of
the produce el toy gardens (and as this point I am vier
confident), we could afford to give his Heiyal Herhsess
or £6 • year ground rent; and our prudes* would be
CAD instead of ES ayes/. And the beauty of the scheme
from each • point of view is this. In the wealth thus
raised to the country the working men wee his fair
share. Hs gets that, which by j.. 4 and fair means he
ought to Klee, an interest in the land of the gauntry.-
lo raising that taiesalled wealth, of which, however,.
the Chaneellor of the &chequer teems often to boast—
the £14,000,000 derived from the Excise—the working
lasses are deteriorated, and vest numbers of them
degraded and ruined. In raising the real wealth they
would be elevated, and womld And ever-opening
opportunities of improvement for themselves and of
advancement for their families.
Look at the scheme for one moment with
reference to the franchise. The House of Commons
is debatieg the question whether this shall be
refaced to LI, or EA, renteL Would it not he tar
more liberal on the put of the Liberals, far refer cm the
part of the Coneervutivee, far better for the workieg
classes themselves, and for the country generally, if,
hutted of lowering the franchise they would help
forward • sebum that would elevate the wotking
classes; and if theaelewteed ol waning to receive this lower
trannentae aa a gift, were Una to rise up and
claim the higher as their 'siding right? Sorely
to the latter ear they would be far better qualified,
thaw in the former to tiereise the right; end a body
at sober, intelligent, Industrious, and independent men
Areitld be raised up who might prove the sinegth of the
isountry.

But far beyond all this would be the advaatages
which, with God's blensioq, would result frost ••••I •
whew* I. • moral and religious point of view. Without
ihia *set before me I have never any spirit to devise;
I have no r•medy to over that I can regerd as effectual.
Bat with this object fall. and steadily kept in stew I
have mot a shadow of doubt as to moons. The Bestow
has spokes it, and it shell prove true in the ease of
numbers as it does in the are of iadividvela, "Seek
first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, sod all
ihee things (food and raiment—that is wealth) shall be
added unto you." Hy scheme rightly wished out
would be • trusting in this promise. With the worship
end service of God, and the by. of our neighbours. its
fo.ndation, then is nothing in it that I.
nothing that is visionary. It affords, with God's
blesoing, a wen grotioded prospect of improvement sad
happioess.
