ance and crime are necessary as checks upon
the increase of population and .preventives
of redundancy which the products Of the
earth could not sustain. But we do believe,
that in the present state Of the arts, rural
economy may be carried to such an extent
that even New England might sustain, in
comparative afluence more than fifty times
its present population.
That we have not overrated the produc-
tive power of land, perfectly cultivated, is ev-
ident from the fact that there are large pro-
vinces IN India where population Of from
four to six hundred to the square mile are
supported by agriculture.
There is also an island on the eastern coast
of China, containing one thousand square
miles, and population of four hundred thou
sand. Agriculture and horticulture are the
exclusive pursuits oil the inhabitants and their
crops are limited to rice, cotton, mlllet and
culinary egetabes.-[Silk Culturist.]

work fresh from the mother country via Bos-

IssCome in" said the doctor, and an old lady
hobbled into the apartment, who seemed the
very embodiment of dirt and negligence.

: The old crone proceeded to divcst her un-

I ''My CD" exclaimed the doctor, throw
