HISTORY OF AGRICULTURE.

Agriculture engaged the attention of
the Romans theoretically as well as as
practically. Their time was divided
between husbandry and war. In the
early days of the Republic their great.
est men employed themselves alternate.
ly in the one and the other. Cincin.
natus was called from the plough to fill
the Office of Dictator. ......
Among the Romans the OK was the
principle beast of burlhen, and there
are many directions for breeding.
working and feeding this animal to be
found in the works of Cato, Piny and
others. Beef cattle were also held in
high estimation among the Romans, and
directions for their management may
be found among the writers above
mentioned. With regard to the imple-
ments of husbandry used by the Ro-
mans we cannot speak definitely, but it
is certain that they used ploughs of
some sort, both with mould. boards and
coalters, and without them. Piny
speaks of reuping machine that was
propelled by an OK. Their grain was
beaten out by fails or trodden out by
ca tile. Haying was performed in much
the same manner as al the present
time.
On the decline of the Roman empire
agrcu lture shared the fate of all arts,
and during the long ages of anarchy
and barbarism which succeeded the
fall of the empire agriculture was al.
most wholly aband oned, and continued
TO be neglected until the introduction of
the teudel system in the fifteenth centu.
ry. This gave every man distinction
and rank according TO the quantity of
land he occupied. Nothing contributed
more to give an Importance TO agricul-
tural pursuits than the introduction of
this system which gave the tenant that
cultivated the soil, as well as the land.
lord who owned it, political privileges
that were enjoyed by no other mem.
ber of the community.
England has for the last fifty years
done much for the advancement of ag-
ricuture, and her efforts have heen
crowned with success, as her agricullu'
raj productions have more than doubled
during this period.
The agriculture Of the French suffers
in common with every other species of
industry, from the effects of bad gov
ernment. Since the revolution they
have made some advancement, but are
still far behind Great Britain, notwith,
standing they have a climate and soil
well adapted to ev'ry variety of growth.
In all parts of the continent of Europe
increasing attention is beginning to be
paid TO this subject. In Lombardy and
Flanders it is carried to the hghes,
state of improvement.-Ne,o England

"THE EDIToRIAL FRATERNITY" y
How in the name of contradiction, says
the New York Sunday Times, could
the idea of calling editors the editorial
fraternity have originated! Why, mu.
tual repulsion is the governing princi-
pie of the SO called brotherhood!
Their lives are continual fOutrance,
and, in fact, were they really TO fraler-
nize, their sheets, unspiced by sarcasm
and invective, would be voted dull and
mouthy. 1t is true that at public din
ner, or philan,hropic meeting, they
shake hands and say civil things to each
other; but this is evidently all hypoc.
ricy, for the next day they fall 10 revil.
ing each other in print, with as much
vindictiveness as ever. We refer, more
particularly, TO political editors-the
neutrals, or independents, get along q
little better; and yet, even these, when
they have good opportunity 10 poke
their fingers into each others eyes, sci.
dom neglect it. There would be a:
much fraternity among community Of
fighting cocks as there is among the
squad editorial. An excess of the milk
of human kindness, alone, makes US an
exception TO the rule. . ..

6dence, for God never fails those who

lhrong around us, the more reason have
we to keep up our spirits to overcome
them. Those say so, who are old: and
you ought TO say so, who are young.

You'll see the sunshine by and by. -

Silver waves silver waves!
Flowing to sweet music's law,
On the shore your brightness leaves,
kneel in rapturous ave.
There's not cloud upon the sky,
Moon and stars are floating by,
DimpIing all the waters near,
With spaIkles bright as Beauty's tear;
Silver waves-slver waves
Thus for ever onward flow,
Breath no whisper OF the graves,
Which lie so cold below.
Silver waves-siver waves!
Singing, ripping up the beach,
There's not she'll yon isIet paves,
But many a lesson teach.
Hark! they moan unto the breeze,
In ceaseless songs oil distant seas;
Thus heart whose joys are fled,
Sghs and sorrows o'er its dead
Silver wayes.-silver waves!
Thus forever onward flow,
Breath no whisper OF the graves
Which lie so cold below.
Silver waves!-silver waves.
Fare'ye we'll it is the hour,
When midnight from its dusky caves,
Comes forth with solemn power:
The long forgotten rise around
Pale shadows creep along the ground,
And mocking lips to mine are pressed,
Which once my happier moments bess'C
Silver waves! --silver waves,
In mournful music onward flow
While these phuntons from their grave
In starlight come and 60.

an oozing ril, tricking down some moss
