AGRICULTURE. The great wealth
OF nations has always been, and always
must be based on agriculture. Out of the
earth, directly or indirectly, all upon which
men subsist and need for food and raiment
In its employments comes a freshness and
independence known to no other cccupa-
ton. The wheels Of the workshops, the
sails of commerce, the implements Of
science, the pen of genius the pencil and
chisel OF the artist, the e.oqaent tongue OF
the orator, the scheming brain of the states

great sepulcher, move end have power of

the fancy, but it supports and comforts life,
and adds to the substance the increase and

on THE IMPROVEMENT OF
SOCIETY.


The men and women who are to make
up society, and transact the business of
active llie, twenty-five years hence, are the
boys and girls of to-day. Each age in the
history OF civilization has boosted SUPERIOR
y over its predecessor in a knowledge of
the laws Of nature and their application in
facilitating the laborious duties Of life, and
improving the condition of the race.
The advancement made by any genera
ton depends, in no small degree, upon the
treatment il has received at the hands Of its
predecessor. II we have made more than
usual advancement, it is because our pa
rents have more than usually improved The
method 0. teaching, training and moulding
the character of their children; and thus
imbued them with unusual zeal for self-im-
provcment
Thus It is incumbent upon the present
generation to provide for the advancement
and giHrions victories 10 be gained by by
.Aeir sons and daughters, when they shall
appear upon the battlefield OF life, TO take
up the march of their fathers. The thought
of nearly all at this point will be that they
are doing all they can, under the present
limited circumstances, TO improve and edu-
eating their children. But. is there not a
way OF welding a mighty influence rpon
them, which costs neither money nor labor?
Ehe associations and influences of youth
are the moulds in which the basis of char
acter is cast, and however varied the con-
ditions of after life, those original pfinci-
pies will remain Interchangeable, as the CEN
Ter from which all other characteristics ra-
date II, from a child's first conceptions
of people and things, he is accustomed TO
see love, virtue and justice reign, untram-
fnelcd by prejudice, lust and selisnness, he
win readily attach himself to the common
cause of his associates and take pride in
the success with which he pursues ii.
But on the Other hand, ifhe is broughtup
wrere the common evils Of society are toIer-
sted, these are even more readily ingrained
into his nature, and he exul;s 10 the depth
of his iniquity. But since 80 err is hu-

ofcircunstsnces. Experience and iudicious
hands should retain firm hold upon the
helm OF youth until it is ont of the harbor,
and fairly upon the voyage Of Independent
lie; for SIN, whether intemperance or 9TH
wise. drasS~upon it.victiin an eveT-aug-
mented power, and the only safeguard is TO
avoid the hfst appearance of evil.
Now these associations which are Of such
gilsl importance TO the child; must be
brought to bear at home: for there he spends
the most Of his time and there he ponders-
over what be sees and hears, drawing such
differences rs his childish mind is capable
& and thus .he sum total Of chatacter Is

further developed in the near future.

We have received from the
National Publishing Company Of
Philadelphia the advance sheets of
their latest publication. The work
is entitled The Pictorial History of
the World, by James ID. McCabe, the
well-known historian. This book is
literally what it Processes to be-a
complete History of the World-for
it gives a clear and concise account
of every nation that has ever -four
ished on the globe. The history of
each country is related separately,
and in the clearest and most COM
prehensive manner, and the deeds
of all the great actors in the events
of ancient and modern history are
brought before the reader in the
most vivid style. Ancient history
is related in full, and the accounts
of the Middle Ages, the Crusades,
and the great nations of modern
times, are equally valuable and in
teresting. There is not dry page
in the book. 1t is as facinating as
a romance, and at the same time
one of the most valuable works of
reference ever published. We are
constantly called upon to discuss the
great question of history, and the
wars and quarrels of the nations of
the old world require us to be con-
tinually refreshing our historical
knowledge. In its mechanical ex-
ecution the book reflects great cred
it upon its publishers. It's a superb
volume of 1860 large double-column
pages, printed on paper of the very
best quality. The book contains
over $50 of the finest and most beau
tiful engravings ever published in
this country. They are new, having
been made expressly for this work,
and embrace battles and other his
tOrical scenes; portraits of the great
men of ancient and modern times !;
and views of the principal cities of
the world. These engravings are
genuine works of art, and were
made at a cost of over $25, 900. The
greater number and high character
of these engravings made this the
most valuable art publication of the
century. The work contains q
complete History of the tate IFd'
6etiDeen R,tssjd and Turkey, which
is the only history of this struggle
in print.
1t is for sale by subscription only,
and agents will find that this book
will sell readily when others fail,
from the fact that it is work
that the people really want. See
the publishers advertisement for
agents in another column.

Value of the Tobacco Crop.
Western Tobacco Journal.


The value of the tobacco crop to
this Government can be seen from
the following figures Since 1862 to
the end of 1877, the internal revenue
receipts from manufactured tobacco
were about $3.50, 900, 000-a sum
larger than one-fourth of the present
public debt, and it was One-fourth
of all the internal revenue during
that time. 1t cost the Government
about $2,500,00 to collect this rev.
enue. These figures do not include
the custom duties on imports of to-
bacco, which are very large. During
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1877,
they were 1851, 583 pounds of leaf
tobacco valued at SO, 726,619, and
$50, 1924 pounds of cigars; valued at
80, 002, 347, besides other manufac-
lures of tobacco, valued at $8l, 231,
making a total valuation Of $5,812,-
600. Our exports of leaf tobacco,
which yield no revenue, are. very
large. Last year our exports of
home grown leaf were 282, 1886, 900
pounds, valued at $2S, 825,521 In
1875 there were 223, 1901 900 pounds,
worth SO, 241 ,000. In 1874 the eX-
ports of leaf reached 318,OOO,0OO
pounds. OF last years shipments,
