reap its harvest, would puzzle a Dhilosooher to tell. Agriculture, so far from bein a degrading employment, is enti tled to high respect. It was the primitive employment of man, in his better state. It is, in truth, a manly employment, and conduV, ,., , - ces ahke to health and vigor of mind. It is the employment which of all others, most direct! v and effectually sustains and feeds the human race ; in which a vast, majority of men in the ranks of civilization have been engaged hitherto, and ever must while the world continues. It is the employment which supports trade and manufactures, the arts, and all the various callings and pro Sessions of civilized tit'e. It is ai employment for which in our country there always will he room. It is an employment which ought to occupy the industry of nine tenths ot' the male population of the United Slates; the remaining tenth forgive me it I err being fully enough for all the other purposes.

The notion that the occupations ot agriculture are low and degrading, is the whim of asickly brain. Nor is it less mischievious than false. To this pernicious error of opinion it is owing at least in part that agriculture is so much neglected and forsaken while trade is crowded to suffocation: a course of things directly tending to dsi appointment, emban a -ment. want and woe.
