CAPITAL.

There is no mistake more common nor more in.
furious, than that of supposing that the more land
man holds, the greater must be his profits for the
the profit does not arise from the land ITSELF but
from the manner of using it; for the best soil may
be made unprodactive by bad management, while
the worst may be rendered profitable by the oppo-
site course; but without sufficient capital no land
can be properly cultivated; at the same time there
is nothing to which capital can be applied with
greater certainty of fair return for liberal eypen-
dliure, when correctly employed, than land. In
fact assuming always that the expenditure be dir
ected with judgement, it will be found that the
profit upon the outlay increases in more than a
proporlonatc degree TO its amount thus, suppos-
ing twenty-five dollars be the lowest, and fifty the
highest sum that can be employed in the common
culture of the same acre Of land, it is more than
probable that Gtwenty five dollars return IL, the rate
of ten per cent, the fifty dollars will Yield twenty
or any intermediate sum, at the same progressive
ratio. And admitting this to be lrue-and it is pre-
sulncd no agricnlturcst will doubt tit follows,
that capital of 5000 dollars, expended in the cul-
tiyaton of 200 acres, will only yield profit of5OO
dollars, while, ifapped to no more than 100 acres,
it would produce 1000 dollars; therefore, it is evil
dent that this profit would be increased by dunn
'shing the quantity of his land. Many man has
been ruined by large farm, who might have nc
Iured competency with one half the size Most
farmers are anxious for large occupations and many
are thus betrayed into the error Oft taking greater
quantity of ground than they have the means of
managing to advantage; some, in the decisive hope
of acquiring those means by failure savings; others
from the vanity of holding more land than their
ncislbors, Hence arises deficiency of stock, i'm
perfect Ii llsr, and scany crops, with all the con-
seqnenl train of rent in arrcar, wages i'll paid, and
debts distress, duns and final ruin! -
While he who prudealIy commences, with only
such number Of acres as he has the power of cul
tvaling with proper effect, is certain of obtaining
the fall return iion the soil, aud not being hurdened
with more land than he can profiaby enjoy: his en-
glgamcn's are within his means; and thus, while !
enjoying present ease Of mind, he LAYS the suresi
foundation iol future prosperity. 1t therefore be-
hoycs Il man to weigh well the charges with his |
means, and never allow himself to be seduced hy

THE SABBATH EVE.
ny GEORGE D. PRENTICE, ESQ

How CALMLY sinks the parting SUM-
Yet twilight fingers still,
And beautiful as dreams of Heaven
Ills slumbering on the hill.
Earth sleeps with all her glorious things
Beneath the Holy Spirits wings,
And, rendering back the hives above,
Seems resting in trance Of love.
Mysterious music from the pines
Der yon dark rocks reclined,
Falls like the whispering words ofpeacc
Upon The heavenly mind;
And winds, with piaons stepped in dew,
Breathad gently, us il stealing through
From Eden's bowers they came to bless
The spirit with their holiness,
And yonder glltering throng of clouds
Retiring from the SKY
So calmly move, so swoetly glow,
They seem to iancy's eye
Bright creatures Of better sphere
Come down at noon to worship here,
And from their sacrifice of love
Returning to their home above.
The blue isles of the golden sea,
The nighi-arch floating high,
The flowers, that gaze upon the heavens,
The brigh, streams leaping by,
Are living with religion, deep
lis gloles on the water sleep,
And minglo with the moons pale rays,
Like the so'. light fparted days.
The spirit ofthe holy eve
Comes through the silent air
To feelings hidden spring, aud wakes
The gu3h of music there;
And the fair depths of Gather beam
So passing fair, we almost dream
That we can rise and wonder through
Their open paths Of lrackess blue.
Each soul is filed with glorious dreams,
Each pulse is beating wild,
And thought Is soaring to the shrine
Ofgiory indebted,
And holy inspirations start
Forth from the tempo Of the heart,
and chain-lor Earth dark lies are rivcn-
Our spirits to the gates Of Heaven.
