whole before we are able to manage one
fourth part to advantage. Also am sensi-
Bile that it is necessary that a new country
have great and good name; and in order
for that it is requisite that the first produc-
tons of the soil should be the best; and
also that some few should become directly
very rich who go there, that others may be
stimulated to engage in the hardships and
! tatigues which are indispensable in settling
ut. And it would also appear that Provi-
dence has so ordered il. And that those
great and good qualities should be proclaim
ed far and near; while the Inconvenience
and ordinary qualities should be somewhat
connected. The very rich and most fertile
parts being first improved, serves to give
character to the whole, and people afar off
make no calculation bat that il is so. At
once they are panic struck, and are willing
to foregc any present accommodation, if by
so doing they might become sharers in this
garden OF the world. Therefore it would
for emigration; and to preserve a kind of
balance, and save even a sparse population
in an old country, that once in while
man OF some influence, one who is pos
sessed of some degree Of judgment and
discernment, with an unbiased mind, should
travel in those parts and on his return give
just andimpartial description of the whole.
In this way it will be discovered that no
place on earth is as Eden, or complete
paradise. 1t is not to be found. 1t never
has been found on earth, since the fall and
! 1t never will be. All parts of the earth are
disordered, and always will be, so long as
imperfection reigus in our world, or deprav-
ity has dominion of the human heart
Providence has SO ordered it; and it is Civ
en- to man TO discover it, and disposition
to strive TO remedy the evil, so far as it is
IN his power, and to submit TO the rest, and
TO make the best Of it he can. The evils ]
and Inconvenience are some of the best !
properties of our world, taking mankind as
they are, for they keep both mind and body
In exercise; and all those faculties which
are given man on the alert; in order, that |
so far as he is able, he may remove them, |
and by that means subdue in manner even
the elements, and bring them into his SER |
vice. This is as it must be, as il should |
be, and as it will be, go where you will

into new country, buy farm at Govern
ment price, and pay for it. Then let him
be satisfied, and go TO work, and make inn
provements both for his individual comfort.
and interest, and for that of community at
large. But let him who is in comfortable
circumstances where he is, be satisfied
there, and endeavor to enjoy the comforts
of life, of which he is now in possession.
But more especially, let man In low cir
cumstances, and who is somewhat advanced |
in life, remain, and be content among his
friends. IT is in vain for man TO think of
looking out a country for his children
They will judge and act for themselves;
and it is best it should be so; but it is too
much the case that parents, in order to ac-
commodate their children, keep them on the
chase after them when they are young
next chase after the child when he rises 10
manhood, and Sd is dragged after him in
old age, when he THE child takes chase
for the accommodation Of his children; and
so constantly on the chase; all his days,
living on anticipation, never finding time
to realize his existence as he ought, or TO
stop to partake of the blessings placed with
in his reach, until age, with all its attend
ant maladies, puts an end to the scene.-t
