The CHARMS OF L1FE.-There are
thousand things in this world to
aflict and sadden but OH! how
lmany that are beautiful and good !
The world teens with beauty = with
objects that gladden. the eye and warm
the heart. We might be hsppyif we
would. There are ills which we cam
not escape-the approach of disease
and death, of misiortunes, sundering
of earthly ties, and the canker-worm
Of grief; but a vast majority of the
evils that beset us might be avoided.
The cause of intemperance, interwo-
ven as it is with the ligaments Of
society, is one which never strikes but
to destroy. There is not one bright
page upon record Of its progress
nothing to shield it from the heartiest
execrations Of the human race. 1t
should not exist-it must not. Do
away with all this let wars come to
an end, and let friendship, charity,
love, purity, and kindness, mark the
intercourse between man and man.
We are too selfish, as if the world
was made for us alone. How much
happier should we be we're we to labor
more earnestly to promote each others
good. God has blessed us with a
home which is not all dark. There is
sunshine everywhere in the sky,
upon the earth-there would be in
most hearts if we would look around
US. The storms die away, and the
bright sun shines out. Summer drops
her tinted curtain upon the earth,
which is very beautiful, even when
autumn breathes her changing breath
upon it. God reigns in heaven.
Murmur not at a creation SO beautiful,
and who can live happier than we.

Agriculture in Judea.

Inc EreS0yteTaGn has letter from
Mr.. Charles A. Minor, who is engaged
in agricultural pursuits at Artas, near
Jerusalem. Mr.. Meshullam, Jew,
and others, are testing the capacities
of the soil and climate at the same
place, and have so far succeeded as to
excite among the Jews a desire Tor
like employment. More than sixty
Jews have signed a petition for aid in
the purchase Of land and implements.
Mr.. M. says -
"In the varied positions of this
land, each fruit, vegetable, and nearly
every plant and flower of every cline
may spring forth and bear in the
greatest luxuriance. The continued
experiments of Mr.. Meshullam, as we'll
as our own brief efforts, on the capa-
bilities Of the soil and climate, have
been followed with the most promis-
ing results. There is scarcely noun
tain or hill, however barren in its ap-
pearance, which will not produce a
large growth Of the best Of grapes,
which, as staple article of food one
third Of the year, besides raisins and
wine, yield a good profit. The olive,
almond, pomegranate, ounce, and
other trees of use, will grow every
where on the most rugged hills while
on the wide terraces, in the valleys
and on the plains, the best qualities of
grain are grown, embracing some
varieties wholly unknown in America;
and in those situations which can be
irrigated, several successive crops of
vegetables may be raised annually.
Mr.. Meshullam has raised three sue
cesslve crops of American Indian corn
during the summer months, as it re-
quires less than fifty days from plant
ing until harvest. We have already
planted and gathered several kinds of
vegetables since our arrival. The
sweet potatoes (which we brought)
have grown remarkably well, and
promise, like our Indian corn, to fur
nish an excellent staple food for this
country. 4 A great
change has recently taken place in the
feelings of those who resid in Jeru-
salem they have given up their
strong prejudices, and, disregarding
law Of the Talmud, which forbade
them to labor in the soil, and having
their minds opened to the benefits Of
agriculture and seeing the safety with
which DR.. MeshuIIain and ourselves
reside in the open country, and also
stimulated by the fact of our coming
from our distant land to instruct and
assist them, they have come out to
Artas during the last month in large
numbers, with letters Of recommends
ton and entreaty from different rabbis,
begging, Tin some cases with te1rs) for
employment for themselves, and also
for scores OF their poor brethren. On
being informed bv Mr.. M 'shullam,
that we were unable to employ at
present but a very few, they again
came out, requesting permission to
write an appeal in Hebrew, which
large numbers would sign before any
authority, expressive oftheir great de.
sire, and pledging themselves to en-
gage in cultivation, and desired US tC
