Education Of the Agricultu-
HCVisf

No MANis 80 high as to be independent
ofthe success of this great interest,"; no
man is so low as not to be affected by its
prosperity or decline. Agriculture feeds
us; 10 great degree ii clothes us; without
it we could not have manufactures, and we
should not have commerce. These all
stand together, but they stand together
like pillars in a cluster, the largest in the
middle--anl that largest is Agriculture
We live in a country of small farms and
freehold tenements; country in which
men cultivate with their own hands their
own fee simple acres, drawing not only
their subsistence, but also their spirit of
indr pendence and manly freedom, from the
ground they plow. They are at once It's
owners, It's cultivaiors and its defenders.
The cultivation of the earth is the most i'm
portant labor of men. Man may be civil
zed, in some degree, without great progress
in manufactures. and with little commerce
with his distant neighbours; but without
cultivation of the earth, he is a roaming
barbarian. When tillaye begins, other
arts follow. The farmers, therefore, are
the founders of human civilization.--Daa-
id Webster

| checked him while he spoke; yet could he
speak,
Alas | would not check,
For reasons not to love him once sought,
And wearied all my thought
To vex myself and him; | now would give
My love, could he but live
Who lately lived for me, and when he found
Twas vain, in holy ground
He hid his face amid the shades of death.
| waste for him my breath
Who wasted his for me; but mine returns,
And this lorn bosom burns
With sitting heat, heaving it up in sleep,
And waking me to weep
Tears that had melted his soft heart: for
years
Wept he as bitter tears,
MercifM God! such was his latest prayer,
These may she neuer share
Quieter is his breath, his breast more cold,
Than daisies in the mould,
Where children spell, athwart the church
yard gate,
x His name and life's brief date
Pray for him, gentle souls, whoe'er you be,
And oh pray too for me.

After an absence of some time, the

"Why," says James, ri had taken
