The following is an extract from dcscrip

Tribune, by the we'll know Agriculturist,
Scion Robinson
All the farmers were of the swell to do"
sort and some of them, who have turned
their attention to fruits and market garden
ing, have grown rich. The soil is loan,
varying from sandy to clayey, and surface
gently undulatng, intcrsected with small
streams and occasional wet meadows, in
which deposits of peat or muck are stored,
sufficient to iertalize tho whole upland sur
face, after it has been exhausted ofits natural
fertility.
1t is certainly one of the most extensive
tracts, in an almost level position, and suit
able condition for pleasant farming, that we
know Of this side Of tho Western prairies.-
We found some of the Oldest farms apparent
ly just as proftably productive Is when
cleared OF forests fifty or hundred years ago.
The geologist would soon discover the
cause OF this continued fertility The whole
country is marine deposit and all through
substances, generally in the form OF indura
ted calcareous mari, showing many distinc
forms of ancient shells, of the tertiary for
nation and this marty substance is scatter
ed all through the soil, in q very commercial
form, and in the exact condition most easily
assimilated by such plants "a the farmer
desires to cultivate. ilS2lmSl

The Early Literature OF a Nation
JoMN JANIS TAYLOR


Great genius II Of 10 age or nation,
We have made stupenduous advances
In all possible directions within tho
last three hundred years, yet Bacon
still stands as tho proudest name
among English philosophers, and
Shakespeare II uneQualled among Eng
llsh poets. II would DO hard to name
q living poet'-aitcr these centuries OF
eullure-who equals spenseE yet all
tho names We have mentioned are laid
among the very foundations OF Eng
fish literature, Tho works associated
with them are among the first products
of thought and mt In the perfected
English tongue, There was, Of course,
great amount Of rubbish produced,
which, having suffered the fate Of all
rubbish, has passed ont of existence,
But the great books remain, with the
great fact that neither science nor art,
neither learning nor culture, neither
political nor social progress, eau DO
anything to reproduce genius Nay,
it looks aS il none Of them have the
power to assist genius in its develop
ment, aud in the products Of It's AT,
Whenever u Shakespeare appears, he
works with such tools as he finds
ready for his hand, and produces that
which is immortal, 1t matters moth
ing into what period of nations lit
erary history he is born, for he does
not appear as the ripe product of a
great age, but as a special creation OF
the Almighty,
The death Of Mr., Bryant naturally
calls the attention Of thoughtful Amer.
leans to the foundations Of our own
literature, and leads to speculations as
to its future. Certainly the first years
OF our national lie were not very
fruitful in literary way Very little
work produced in the seventeenth
century is worth preserving, and we
can say hardly more oil the product Of
the eighteenth. We lay the founda-
tons Of cur houses with rubble up to
the level Of the earth, and the first
products Of American literature can
hardly be called anything but rubble.
They lie in the catalogues an undis'
tinguisbable mass. We are simply
aware that they are poor and imper-
feet stuff but during this unexpired
nineteenth century, something worthy
and enduring has been done. 1t looks
as it the great strides we have taken
were the result Of long climbing to a
high vantage ground. 1t seems, at.
first view, as if we may reasonably
expect that the twentieth century will
as far surpass the present as the pres
ent surpasses the past in literary pro-
duction. We doubt, however, wheth.
er we may logitimately come to any
such conclusion. The first songs OF
any nation are usually the freshest.
They work up the local material
They have the first opportunity of
response to the native influences.
There is something in the sturdy free.
dom of the formative processes of So
ciety peculiarly favorable to the devel
epments OF genius. A great nation,
developing itself as it were out of the
ground, ~ good deal nearer the orig.
inal fountains of inspiration than it
becomes after ages of conventionaity
and artificial life DR.. Holland IN

RELATIVE PERFECTION.

There is a relative, as well as q
more general, perfection in man, which
must hot be lost sight Of in examining
the question Of his proper vocation in
life. There is required of him not
only u culture OF his whole being rs a
man, but also a diligent and faithful
adaptation of certain Of his powers to
the particular circumstances in which
he is placed. Lies purpose is only
adequately accomplished in discharg-
ing both of these claims aud indeed
the more limited service is necessary
condition Of the general development
You find yourself occupying n given
position in the world. 1t has its ap-
pointed duties, its special opportunities
Of usefulness, trials also, difficulties and
temptations of its own. Take your
lot as it is assigned you without MUIR
muring. Make the best of it and if il
the eyes of men it seems unhonored
aud unenviable, ennoble it by your
spirit, and work your way through it,
by character, and honest industry, to
something better and happier. If, on
the other hand you find it accord with
your inclination, and open before you
n fair prospect of advancement, be as
sured there is nothing irreligious in
honorably aiming at success and en-
incnce in it, and still less in openly
avowing that such is your object.
Every pursuit which conduces to the
welfare of the world, has its apprc-
pirate honor attending it; and gen.
uine virtue is developed by enthusiasm
for what is higher in our own line of
action. You must treat life as prob
lem, which has to be wrought out to
successful result, with certain moral
conditions attached to it. Do not
because it looks difficult, tlmorously
shrink from attempting the solution |;
but work through every part of it,
whether you get the whole result or not
without violating one of it neral con-
dition. Draw the utmost from it that
it viii yield for temporal prosperity,
for social wealth and position,for Lonor
usefulness, mental culture, and refine
enjoyment, consistently with the
strictest integrity, with health and the
exercise of the affections, with re-
membrance of the end of life and a
cheerful submission to the divine will.
Whatever your vocation in llfe,--
whether you labor with the head or
with the hands wether you write
books, or manufacture cloth; whether
your ships cross every sea-. or your
whole stock in trade is contained
within the four walls of your humble
shop; whether you sit on the bench
of Justice, or earn your honest wages
from week to week,-honor your work
as assiged you, by God, who regards
not its subject matter, but the spirit
in which it is performed as in his
sight, with loyal and devoted heart,
strive to be outdone by no one IN the
completeness and efficiency Of its ex-
cutioD.
This is the healthy view of our
human world. Contentment, comfort
abundance, depend on its vide diff.
fusion. 1t would put every one in a
proper place, and fit him with his
proper task. 1t would let none be
idle, and leave none in want. 1t wotld
abolish useless privilege, and bring all
underline constraint ofwholesome duty.
This view reconciles earth and heaven.
While we are in the world, it makes
