We would not be misunderstood, however, il
this rather ludicrous excursion Of fancy, as put
ting the land speculation and the mulberry cult
vation on the same footing. While these power
full influences, operating on the human heart, are
in every instance the same-love Of money ant
the object the same--weslth their results are like
Iv to be widely different. Both may be confnci
10 the narrow principle of selEnterest; while, i!
the one, more perhaps failed than attained thei
object, many were ruined and no general or per
maneni good resulted to the country: in the other
the raising of the mulberry, exiravagant eXpecta
lions anticipated by many, may never be gratified
yet all may be amply rewarded, and none need OF
can probably be injured; while the consequences,
in national point of view, will certainly be OF
vast and universal benefit we shall gain new

Weld all the honest wealth that is expected.
This, then, is hobby, that may be mounted by
all with hattering prospect ofreward. The speed
may be too rapid in the outset, and occasional
tagging may be the consequence, but there can
be no entire failure, and every individual engaged
in it, with proper attention and skill, may share
the benefits.
We anticipate both pleasure and profit in the
further perusal of this work, and hope to be able
to CRAFTY our readers with participation of the
enjoyments.
We will .ancludc our remarks for the present,
hv observing that the author takes occasion to
speak of the usury laws. We refer to this subject
because, although these laws were enacted from
the best motives, our opinion long since formed
comedies with that of the author; that although
they originated from the best motives, they are
both '.impolitic and unjust;" and have, in their
practical results, inflicted more injury on the com.
munity than the good they have effected, (f amy,
ever compensated.
Another topic, of which wish 10 speak, is the
rage for speculation. | wish TO speak of it now
in particular view--as interfering, that is TO say
with the moral end of business. Aud here again
let me observe, that can have nothing to do will

would recommend them to the attention of all in
the confidence that they are calculated to impair,
useful lessons andto improve general morals, and
by clearly pointing out evil principles overlooked
in business habits thereby leading to their cor
rection. This work indicates deep reflection,
much observation and research, and cultivated
faculty Of reasoning, and proves the author to be
well qualified to teach and enforce the good lessons
he endeavors to inculcate. He takes up the sub
ject of moral traffic as fit and appropriate to the
pulpit. And while he allows all that can be
justly claimed for it in utitarian point of view,
he satisfactorily shows that the great and only end
of moral trade is v.tue and The perfect compa,i.
bity of such trade, with truth, justice and phlan
