AGRICULTURE IN GREECE. Agriculture is depressed in Greece. , A French traveler says.:. "The Greeks asserts that they ,were not born for agriculture, and lam afraiu they are right: The Greek finds himself in the right place at the' door of a shop, or on the deck of a vessel. Greeks who cultivate the gr9und feel themselves humiliated." Despite the efforts of the Government the people will .not tiln to their rich soil. The farming classes live plb orl y . They have good ,nules, small, sikift, and hardy _horses ; small and thin, but well-shaped cattle, and quantities of sheep . and goats, whose milk they drink. It costs $2OO to eStablish't flock of 100 sheep which then yields about $lOO a year. 6abln4es and onions are the staple green vegetables. Apples, pears,and cherries are bad ; lemons, oranges, and olives good. The soil is for the most part very-fertile. One of the chief evils is the minute division of land. Although not a tenth of 'the country is under cultivation, very few farmers have More than a couple of acres, and three or four. per sons often have claims upon different crops on the' Same farm, the olives belonging to one; the beaus anottier,and so on. The farmers have no ambition, and only care just to live. - One fourth of the year is devoted-to holidays. PARADISE. Paradise is not so lok. as is sometimes thought. The garden of Eden . is now spread out into the width of the world. Our homes are bowers in it ; our roads are, walks in ; and always within reach, hang, forbidden fruits though now they are such as Often bring their punishment in the ' eating 7 apples of Sodom, golden on the rind and dust inside. There is in the garden still the tree of knowledge of good andievil, and of this we may eat,.and by the eating of it we have our eyes opened and are liAble to recogn4e the very tree of, life. Avoid disputation for the mere sake of argu ment. The man wiio disputes obstinately,- - and in a bigoted.spirit, is like the man who would stop the fountain \ frtym which he should, drink. Earnest discussion is commendable ; but • fac tious argument never yet produced a good re sult. It is not generally known that the good cus tom of keeping birthdays is many: thousand years pid. is:recordecl in the fortieth chap ter of Genesis and twentieth verse : "And it came to pass the tlifitl day, which Was ‘ Pbara cit's birthday, that he made afeast unto all his servants."
