allow their boys to exchange labor

suit will be to create a spirit Of emulation
that will make the boy love his home and
endeavor to excel in the work he is to per-
form. There should be no grumbling and
scolding, no cuffs or rebutts,, if there be oc-
casional bursts Of boy mature that make the

attempt to restrain or restrict. Give nature
full vent. 1t may rot be amiss to aid and

Something like this must be done or the
boys will be stealing down the back stairs

WHAT AGRICULTURE DGEs.

An exchange says: Without agriculture
there is no wealth. Cold and silver is not
wealth-they are its convenient representa-
tiyes: Commerce produces no wealth-it
simply exchanges it; manufacture and the
arts combine it. Agricultural is the prolit
ic mother of wealth. The rest simply handle
it when produced and delivered into their
hands.
The earth breeds savages. Agricultue
breeds enlightened nations; it breeds houses
and ships, temples and seminaries; it breeds
the manutacory sculpture, painting and mn-
sic are its offsprings. The wheels OF the
work shop, the sails of commerce, the inn
plements OF science, the pen of genius, the
pencil and cllisel of the artist, the eloquent
tongue of the orator, the scheming brain Of
the statesman. the equipages of wealth, the
banqueting of pleasure-all that renders
earth in its tides OF life anything but great
sepulchre, move and have power of being,
because tie fields yield their fruits to the pa
tient toll OF the husbandman.
We might manage to live without mer-
chants, without mariners, without orators,
without poets, perhaps we might possibly
survive the loss OF demagogues-bn sure,
am, we could not without p)owmen.
The state OF husbandry in any country is the
best test of its enlightment. The thermom
eter ofcivlizatiOn rises or falls as drives tle
pillow. You must send tie ploW," eX
claimed man who had travelled all over
christian missionary ground, "in heather
lands Il barbarian nation needs but to bt
plowed up deep, subsolea, planted. and th'
inevitable harvest will be all enlightenet

A TRANSATLANTIC MOAN.

The 100000 quarters or l04, 900, 900
bushels Of wheat, which the Pail Mall Ga
gette how acknowledges to be low estimate
for the deficiency which Great Britain will
have to supply this year from foreign
sources, will cost a current market prices.
G30, ,O00. 900 or in the close neignborhood OF
$50, coo, 600. Thus for one article OF food
alone our transatlantic cousins will have TO
pay at the rate of nearly five dollars per
head to foreign growers. Yet tits conceded
that they will in this way obtain the supply
far cheaper than if they attempted to grow
it at home. even if so large an amount could
be protitably grown Oh the small area Of the
British Isles. 1t is a fruitful ground of COM
plaint with them, however, that the two
principal sources of supply-America and
Russia--sllould both show an increasing dis
inclination to be paid for their exports Of
food in manufactured articles. The vast
| improvements lately made in our various
nanutactules--or as the English prefer to
say, cur protective po!icy-have almost de-
stroyea their trade with this country in iron
ware aud cotton trabrcs and seriously in
iurett other branches Of traffic, and it eX-
! torts moan from the neighborhood of John
Bulls pcckct that henceforth he must pay
for the food Imported from this country, out
| of the profits made in other directions III
stead OF byan interchange of productions.
