She abandoned her annual Mediterranâ€" ean trip to stay among her people in their sorrow and their joy.

He has therefore a very heavy load to carry, his work is of the highest importance, and he is entitled to the highest honor among his \ fellow men and his occupation from day to day is such that it brings him in constant touch with nature, and by meditation and reflection is designed to lead him up to nature‘s God. The busâ€". bandman‘s calling is an ancient and honorable one, it was needful even in paradise. Nature, eyen in its primitive state left room for improvements for art and industry, hence the divime command to Adam was ‘"to keep and dress the garden." This was con(‘lucive to the man‘s peace and happiness and it has always been, and always will be, a sense of pleasure in the business God call« us to and employs us in. f It has been well said, that "the first . | farmer was the first man," and we read _lin Gen. 18â€"8, that the angel when he 1st part of my suvject treats of Agriâ€" culture or Fu ming, the 2nd part of the necessary qualifications of the person engaged in the occupation, in order to make the business a success.

The word "Agriculture" is deriyed from two Latin words, ‘*Ager,‘ meaning a ‘field‘ and *caltra‘ meaning ‘cultivae tion,‘ the meaning of which is the art of cultivating the soil, so as to produce the largest crops at the smalJest possible cost, and the least injury to the soil. 1t also includes the raising and feeding of stock, and whateyer pertains to the farm buildings and domestic economy,.

This must be so, because the farmer produces the daily bread for the whole population, It is true, the fisheries yield some thing but the produce of the soul i< the staple maintenance of bo. h vegetable and animal food and spreads a table bounteously with the choicest viands of both necessaries and luxuries for the whole community, Jur materials for clothing are derived from the same source: wool, flax, leather, cotton and silk, are all the productions of the soil. The employment of the farmer is the essence of independence, freedom and virtuous enjoyment. _ Time will not permit to enlarge on these three points. (2nd part next week.) Intended jor last week.
