Agriculture is pursuit Of primeval dignity,
for Adam previous to bis fall was commanded
by the Deity TO cultivate the earth Our own
country possesses treasures and resources Of
which we have hitherto remained in a state of
culpable ignorance The science of agricul
ture becomes hourly more popular, and we
sincerely hope that those who are qualified to
illustrate this subject, will make this journal
the medium of their lucubrations. Our sister
states have afforded an example worthy os i'm
itation. The science of agriculture has cloath-
ed lands heretofore deemed barren, cold and
dismal heaths, with all the bloom and luxu-
rance of more hospitable climates: it has
vanquished nature and planted Aowrets upon
barren rocks and cherries deserts.
8 The swain in barren deserts with surprize
Sees lilies spring and sudden verdure rise
And starts amidst the thirsty wills to hear
New falls Of water muFTauring in his carp
These are the true riches the earth, in com

mines Of Golconda sink into nothing.
