THE PRODTCTOF LABOR.

Agriculture is the foundation of wealth.
The sea renders her tribntc, but the earth
presents to skill and industry richer and in
hnitely varied contributions. Money is not
wealth. 1t is only the representative of
wealth. Money is coveted, because it can
command labor but Of what use would it be
if labor would not be commanded What
would it avail to possess all the riches Of
Potosi, if thereby we could not procure the
products Of agriculture What are man
ufacturcs concerned in but these products !
What frclghts the barks of commerce in
their rapid flight, threading every channel
and entering every port, but the products of
agriculture !-Whence does the government
derive its revenue, but from the fruits of az
ricu!turc? What constitutes the wealth of
the country, but her cotton, hemp, sugar,
rice, tobacco, wool, wheat, beef and pork
Agriculture only can be considered as the
creator of wealth. The merchant the man
ufacturcr, the sailor, the various arlzans and
tradcsmcn perform their part in making the
products of agriculture more valuable in
transporting them so that the advantages Of
climate arc cqualized, and in putting them
in condition for use but agriculture alone
produces. Like the leader Of Israel, she
strikes the rock, and the furnishing people
are satisfied.-Shc supplies, she feeds, she
quickens all. Agriculture is the command
ing interest Of the country with which no in.
tercst ola secular nature combined, can be
brought INTO competition -Uenry Colcman

A most singular and curious circumstance
took place last week at the house of Judge
Bridges, Of this village. AS Mrs. B. very
carly on Friday morning last, went into the
cellar, she observed something hanging from
the floor over the cellar, which upon getting
IA light proved to be brown snake of about
ten inches in length, suspended alive by a
SPIDERS web, about three feet from the bot
tom of the cellar; he was found to be wound
so close with the fine thread Of the spider,
that he could move in no part excepting two
inches of his head and neck which was moi
wound. Upon further observation, a black
spider of middIng size was seen at the TOP
of the web, watching the snake with evident
satisfaction. The whole operations were
suffered TO remain through the day. Be-
fore night the spider had raised the snake
about six feet above the bottom of the cellar
it then became curiosity to know how d
small animal of the size of 4 spider could
raise so large body. BY close inspection
it was found that three threads in ,raneu.
lar shape, spreading wide at the top, were
attached to it, aud by pulling the body a
very little to one side by each of these threads
successfully, it was found TO raise almost
imperccptihly towards the floor above, and
by perseverance and good management, he
| spider, in the course of the day, had raised it
to the height aforementioned. If the spider
be not "A mathematician, he must certainly bt
