Agriculture, from the constant and
regular employment it gives, Is most
conducive to health. The labor it
requires is calculated to kni, the frame
and give strength and vigor to the sys-
TEN; besides, it is mostly carried on in
the open air, which tends to promote
a free and generous perspiration and
give tone and elasticity to the bod. :;
while many kinds of mechanical and
other cmploymonts are rendered un-
healthy by the constrained position in
which they must be performed, and
the close confinement which is neces-
sary in carrying them on. 1t is obvi-
Gus that mind and body must be eSer-
cised together to promote a regular
and healthy growth of both. Man is
naturally indolent aud loves his ease,
and were it moi for the strong hand of
necessity he would often become idle.
useless and wicked; the constant and
regular employment, therefore, which
a farm requires makes it promotive
Of good morals. whereas, in other en-
ployments, where those engaged are
more dependant on others, their labor
is more irregular, which often leads
them to spend portion of their time
in idleness, and thus bad habits are
contracted. acquaintance formed with
persons OF bad morals, and their char
acters and standing in society are des-
troyed. This is one among many rea-
sons why people who live in cities are
more liable to become protane, intern
perate and vicious than those who re-
side in the country. The business of
farming is one which renders mankind
more or less independent of each other,
but impresses their minds deeply with
a sense of their dependence on Divine
Providence; for they know that they
NAV cultivate the land in the best pos
sible manner, and plant the best seed;
yet unless God gives a them good
season they can raise no harvest
They constantly realise the truth Of
the oracle, that paul may plant and
Apollos water, but God giveth the in.
crease" There is no employment that
leads man to reflect so much upon
the character and works of God as
farming, and consequently none socon
ducive to morality and the practice o
virtuous principles.
