HOLD ON no YOUR LAND.

A man who has a plat of ground,
no matter how small, should think
long.and well before he sells it, unless
it is to buy another piece. In spite Of
all that croakers say, the value of
farming lands must steadily increase

ing our population at the rate Of 81
per cent per annum, while the amount

remain stationary. We are nearing
the limits of good agricultural land in
tile nation, and ii is not likely that We
shall annex any great tracss. There
are no more Texases, CALIFORNIA; and
North west Territories lying along orr
borders wanting to be taken in. We
