The miser, to whom a fair interest was

History of Agriculture.
From all data and historical research.
we find that agriculture was conducted
with success among all the most civilized
nations 01 the earth, until the reign of the
emperor Clandius,.when it fell into neg
lect. After the reign of Constantine, the
NortliciM barbaric tribes who overran Eu
rope, paid little attention to the art of agri
culture, working with slaves, only, a small
portion of the soil contiguous to and around
their habitations ; having no ambition in
this way, and no settled habits of indus
try, they were satisfied ur roam over the
vast deserts which their own ravages had
mode. It is evident that among such a
rare of people husbandry could receive
but little attention.
A !though Julius Ctesar lots distinctly
alledged that Agriculture was introduced ,I
into Britain by sonic or the Gunk Bboeii
two hundred years hefore the Roman In-1
vosiou, yet the precise time that it began
to be practiced is not known.
Great improvements were made in the
art of culture, however, by the establish
ment of the Romans in that country, and
it sank only with the declension of the
other arts. Vast inroads were made by
the Pieta and :Scuts when they overran
the north olltritain ; and on tLo arrival of
the Saxons and the disastrous ward which
followed, the Brit:tins were actually driv
en from the fields they had cultivated into
barren regions. But although the Brhains
had lost, in a great measure, the science of
culture, they 'encouraged it by their laws,
which provided for those who should cul
tivate the soil.
'After the invasion of Britain, by the
Anglo-Saxons, they seemed to hold in con
. teinpt agriculture, and even enacted a law
that it should only be carried on by women
and slaves. These haughty warriors
were however obliged to pnrsun the art
when the Britons, whom they had phin
dered of - their subsistence, Were driven
from the kingdom.
The historic details of ancient agricul
ture cannot be as interesting as an account
of the variety of cliniate, soil and produc
tions of our own yountry. Nature has
provided us with resources of a great agri
cultural no lion, in our vast trains of fertile
lands, untouched by the hand of man—
forests beneath whose shades the nations
of Europe might find shelter and even sup
port—giant lakes connecting distant re
gions :IS with inland seas. upon whose
broad bosom the iives of the earth 'night
float. We have also great navigable riv
ers of immense magnitude, running almost
the whole length and breadth of the conti
nent ; railroads and canals which ceanect
the most remote regions of the Mississip
pi valley with the Atlantis, and even now
looking to the far-oil glittering valleys and
mountains of California, even to die busy
shore of the great Pacific, to bring the
~ c ommerce and trade (min ancient India to
our own seaboard. These public works,

hoed of thiu great Republic. We possess
water power enough to employ all the
machinery that can he manufactured, and
work up till die products that can he fur
!naffed hy the soil ; but inure than all, wo
possess a free government, which grants
to labor a sure or liberal reward. All we
want is Concentrated intelligence and vi-
prone industry.
Let me again say to the farmer, stick to
your plows, reap yonr own golden hat
vests, tad you will control commeree, and
thereby admire liberty and independence
throughout the world. This assertion
may appear strange, but it is the tiller of
the soil who is the great benehmer of,
mankind, and should stand higher in the
estimation of the community than all the
monied aristocracies of the land.
