THE RUSSIAN sERF.

The Russian serf is obliged to work for
bis master but three days in the week: the
other three he may work for himself on !
portion Of land assigned to him by law on
his masters estate. Tie is never Obliged
to work on Sunday, and every saints day
or lete day Of the church is holiday.
This must he supposed togive him an on.
portunity Of elevating his character and
condition, but wanting the spirit Of a free
agent, and feeling himself the absolute
property Of another, he labours grudingly
for his master, and for himself barely
enough to supply the fudest necessaries Q:
life, and pay his tax to the seigneur. A
few rise above their condition, but millions
labnur like beasts Of burden, content with
bread TO put into their mouths, and never
even think Of freedom. A Russian no.
bleman told me that he believed, if the
scrls were all free, he could cultivate his
estate to better advantage by hired labor:
and | have no doubt dozen Connecticut
men would cultivate more ground than 4
hundred Russian serfs, allowing their usu.
al on-working days ind holidays. They
have no interest 10 the soil, ard the desc.
late and mcultlvated wastes Of Russia
show the truth ofthe judicious reflection Of
Catharine II. that " agriculture can never
flourish in that nation where the husband.
man possesses no property.n It is from
this great body Of peasantry that Russia
recruits her immense standing army, or.
in cnse Of invasion. rises in q moment q
vast body soldiers.--[Slevens.
