SUPERIORITY OF AGRICULTURE.


Man, in state of nature, lives the spontaneous
productions of the earth, exists by hunting and fish
inc. He exerts his physical powers crafty his ply
steal wants. AS he advances towards civilization he
exchanges the condition of the hunter for that of the
husbandman and thus proceeds till he becomes ac-
quanted with the arts of civilized life, which add to
the happiness and tend to the Moderation of society.
The mother of these is agriculture and among all the
occupations of men there is, perhaps, none which
contributes to the prosperity of nations the
happiness of individuals. Where greater opportun-
ties of nduging moral habits, and fewer temptations
vice presented, virtue will be successfully
ncucated In the calm seclusion and retirement of
rural ife finds fewer temptations to from the
paths of rectitude, and is less famarzed with the
scenes of pro1igacy and vice. frequently exhibited
IN cities, to the destruction of morals and the injury of
society," Occupied in the cultivation of the earth, and
surrounded by rural innocence and simplicity, his de-
res limited to the objects around him, and he feels
but few temptations TO plunge into the vortex of vice,
Or to swerve from the line of virtue. His religion is
the religion OF his foreathers and becomes interviewer
with the principles Of his nature. He is accustomed
to regard it with and respects and habit as
well as feeling, renders it necessary and essential
part of his happiness The pursuits of agriculture

Among the passengers in the Caledonia on Monday
from Liverpool, was Mr. SPARKS, who, having complet-
ed his historical researches in Europe has returned
this country after absence of year and half
He has been exceedingly fortunate in obtaining
to documents connected with the period of the Anne
rcan revolution, whether deposited in the public ar
cves, in the possession of private persons. The
utmost courtesy and liberaty has been shown him by
the public functonaries both in England and France
in submitting to his inspection and permitting him to
copy the diplomatic and other papers in their keeping
as not wishing to keep back the truth of history, and

learned and able man who had other object in
view than that of giving fair and impartial record of
important events. The materials discovered by Mr.
Sparks, in Paris were understand, much more i'm
portant than he expected to meet with. They throw
great light, not only relations with the French
government at that critical period of our history but
with the courts of the other European nations. They
show, moreover, the beginning and progress of those
negotiations, direct and indirect, by which final set

Britain. On this point, we understand, the information
they afford is particularly full and interesting The
confidential letters also of the French Ministers in this
country to their government, their accounts OF
passing events, of the state of public feeling in
country, Of the characters of public men, and the
plans proposed and discussed by them at different sta
ges of the War of the Revolution, are exceedingly
minute and valuable. The instructions of the British
Government to its officers here and the military COR
respondence relating to the American campaigns throw
important light the dispositions of their Government
towards the colonies, and the operation and plans
of the British armies. The whole mass of materials
thus collected will set many events connected with our
revolutionary struggle in point of vew and will
enable Mr. Sparks to write its history with more au-

their love of country is deep and unyeldng Indus
trious from habit and inclination, and masters of what
they possess they feel their consequence in the scale
of society, and become important and useful 10 theI
country in proportion as they become independent and
virtuous.
Switzerland and Flanders prove that an undsturbed
enjoyment of that virtuous independence which results
from agriculture is better secured an agricultural
than to commercial or manufacturing nation. The
inhabitants of these countries bold hardy and per-
severng moral fromether habits, and industrious and
independent from the nature Of their pursuits and those
distinguishing characteristics they have retained amid
the commissions and revolutions of empire. In the Uni
ted States, the agrcuturists form the most powerful
and wealthy portion of the community. The same vir
tue, independence, and love of country found in
them that are seen in the agricultural nations of the
old world. The United States, we think, will, from
their vast extent of territory be always agricu
tural than commercial The produce of their land
forms the most important branch of their wealth, and
in proportion to the increase of the population, the ha
bits of the people will become agricultural and
the lands more productive. In political economy land
forms the principal source of national wealth. 1t
quires less capital and its cultivation more healthy
and lucrative than any other occupation. AS long
nation continues more agricultural than commercial,
it will be virtuous, Independent, and happy Both III
a moral and political point of view, therefore, the
of agriculture all other occupations
of men, must be obvious and the happiness wealth,
and freedom of nation will never be lost while hus
bandry forms its principal support and dependence

FEMALE EDUCATION.


The Importance attached to the cultivation of the
female mind in the present day, is worthy of an en-
ightened age for if we are to look to for the
earliest and strongest impressions of which our ma
tre is capable, it surely is of vital importance that
she should, herself be qualified to impart them, not
only in the most pleasing, but in the most correct and
enlarged manner. I" How can our sons learn courage
from mother who screams at the sight of spider"
or daughters obtain purity of character and deli
cacy of manners from those who deficient in ell
ther Man is initiative being, and will most GER
tainly become mbued by the habits of those with
whom he associates, and those parents teachers who
neglect to sow the seeds of virtue in the minds of the
youth committed to their care, decidedly guilty Of
the sin of omission. Let those who entrusted
with the sacred charge of experimenting the educa-
ton Of youth, be fully aware of the responsibility
attached to the station, and be chiefly careful to in
struct them in those things which will be the most
useful in afterlife. Girls require the anxious and
watchfu guardianship of the well qualified of their
own SEX to insure that perfection of the female char
acter, so desirable in the future wife or mother.
womans quick glance will detect many minute partc-
ulars which pass unobserved by the other sex and

precept Mark the vast difference that exists between
those females who have been favored with the advanta
ges OF suitable education, and those who have been
deprived of them. A case in point occurs to my
mind, IN two young ladies of my acquaintance, that
may better serve to illustrate my meaning. Annette

ers care, in country school, where graceful carriage
