Edueati ton OF the Wong for Agricultural Pur-
anita.

Where an ardent thirst is begotten inthe midst
Of youth, TO become thoroughly prepared for an
honorable and useful discharge of the active du-
ties which make up the sum Of a happy life, the
great first step is taken towards the accomplish
ment of so glorious an end. We turn our atten-
ton to parents, the natural guardians of the young
possessing power TO mould and fashion the tender
mind, and lead and direct Alright the early ineli-
nation as they are frst developed. To parents we
appeal, assured their influence will be eIeTted 10
attachment TO the employment in which they are
engaged. Let the son be thoroughly instructed in
every branch Of labor 10 be performed upon farm,
with proper opportunities for instruction from
suitable books and well-regulated schools, he
will fall in love with the science, and lehght in
the practice Of agriculture.
In the prosecution Of those highly hon.
ored and peaceful pursuits, female efforts and in
luence are indispensable TO lead TO suspicious
results. | am aware that some persons Of near
sighted and contracted views, have expressed the
opinion that the female mind ought TO be Occu-
pied altogether in the contemplation of unreal
things, OF ideas that float in feyerish or excited
imagination, aud Of outward accomplishments,
and be content 10 dwell upon tie surface Of the
subjects, without an attempt to dig deep in the
mine of knowledge. No Que hOnored with the
title Cf mother, can for a moment listen 10 any
such suggestions; but will, am sure, put forth
their utmost exerton for the fullest expansion and
enlargement Of the intellectual and moral capabil-
tiles OF their daughters well as their sons.-MT.
