THE neighborhood of Rugby is partic-
ularl rich in nbotanical and chronological
life, and to any student of nature offers
a full and wide field in which to Gull
instructive and beautiful specimens.
There is, in our opinion, nothing more
interesting than some knowledge Of
natural science, be it ever so superficial.
That superficial it will remain, however,
when once fairly entered upon, we
much doubt, because the mind is
gradually and surely led on to investi-
gate more deeply the mysteries of all
the forms of life around us, till, at last,
the earnest student, becomes u devout
and reliable specialist.
Rugby being a new scene to the
majority of us affords fine opportunity
for Investigation, and comparison with
the common objects of the country,
left behind in the old world. What
flowers have we here : what ferns ?
what mosses} what grasses? what shrubs
and trees what insects animals 7
birdsl fishes : rocks! &c. A wide field
indeed, and one really needing investi-
cation, not only on account of the debt
and love we owe to nature, but for the
elevation. instruction and advancement
of the mind.
In the early dawn of the world when
"Adam delved, and Eve span," or
rather upon occasions when these first
colonist's work was done, it must have
been far more interesting to wander in
the fields, and woods, and by the rivers,
knowing the names of the fowls of the
air, and the beasts of the field, than it
was before nature had been catalogued.
SO with walk in these extensive
forests, more than double charm is
added to the mind, and scene, from a
knowledge of the names, habits and
structure of the things and beings met
with in our path. "A Primrose on the

confident, though, that they will fully

with very large interests, and give the

it will have some difficult and rough
work to do, especially at the beginning.

difficulties will be Strengthened purse.

smaller boats must keep near shore, "

encouraged to go further, and invest

securing good public water supply,
and in removing refuse matter, will
soon tell it's own tale, and bring to us
remuneration far very far, in advance
of any monies laid out, which success
will encourage us to further mending
our ways in many respects, such as in
the painting of our houses, the fencing
of our lots, the pathways in front of
our buildings, and the general brushing
up of the external life. The money so
spent will not be, cannot be, thrown
away, and it will be nggardly policy,
and betray but small interest in our
growth. if we arc not willing even to
pinch ourselves little towards the
general end in view.
What is the general end before us
now we think it is the establishing of

found in a country town, and the
directing of fruit growers and light
