been brought.

pursuits OF Agriculture may be as lu-
crative as other employments,i /; will be

not dwell On that retirement, one of the
purest enjoymeuls Of this lie and the
best preparation Tor the future, on those
healthiui occupations, on the caimness
OF mind, on that high spirit Of manll-
ness and independence which naturally
brIong to that condition.. These are
attractions which must have deep root
in the human heart, since they have at
all fastened at once the imagination and
won the Judgment ofmen. But may
be allowed to say, that IN this nation
agriculture is probably destined to re
ceive its highest honours, and that the
country life OF America ought to pos
sess peculiar attractions. The pure
and splendid institutions Of this people
have embodied the brightest dreams OF
those high spirits. who in other times
and in other lands have lamcnted or
struggled against oppression they
have realized the fine conceptions
which speculative men have imagined,
which wise men have planned, or brave
men vainly persisted in attempting to
establish. Their influence in reclaim
ing the lost dignity of man, inspiring
the loitiest feelings OF personal inde-
pendence may be traced in every con-
dition Of our citizens; but as all OBJ
jects are more distinct by insulation,
their effects are peculiarly obvious in
the country.

elusive, absolute, uncontrolled proprle-

the government; the government de-

the voluntary offerings OF sincere pie.

can render injurious to any, are direc-

in the improvement and embellishments
Of the soil, in the care OF inferior ami

find an ever varying and interesting
employment, dignified by the union of
liberal studies, and enlivened by the
exercise Of simple and generous hos
pitaIIty. His character assumes loft
tier interest by its influence over the
public liberty. II may not be foretold
to what danger this country is destined,
when its swelling population, its expan-
ded territory, and its daily coppl,ca-

passions OF men, and reveal the vuIDe-

a writer for the American Farmer, in a

states that he had much improved, the
genuine Fuscarora corn by never planl-
ing grain that was selected in the

those stalks which produce two or
more ears. Joseph Cooper ESQ. of
New Jersey, in letter to a gentleman
in Philadelphia, states that, "a friend

were not larger than goose shot, which

they were enc 'osed, were originally
