He spent a : great deal of time in : anticipating t future I wttnts; and espetLilIy in laying up tinder gltiindj hi'scctire places, supplies of "faelj n$,f fie espected that in the course bf timei it: would become scarce, when' the land . ' wririld all be cleared for cultivation. lo ditclietl aud drained a great deal of lqtr ground and bottom land, and cut out lrgeauals to carry off . the water, Jike ' riYersale, "lliissippi and, the Amazon : and even removed mountains in his way? He ihade"embankineuts and levees to bind the flood from overflowing. -r And ' yet k at the sanie time, he provided for irrigation when needful by tarn ing the spring from the higher lauds and lulls over the valleys irf formed re servolrs to send down water - Ul timo of drought. '." Slaving spent a great deal of time and care at this, to make the surface fit for cultivation he harrowed it, scraped, it, - trenched itj Ieyelled.it, and by a variety of.operjitioua filled the hollows. He had it well prepared for occupancy, before he let it out to tenants to manage for him. j TTalrio furnished a complete outfit of all thifcxrjfciij Beedil ctattle and horses, seeds of all kiuds to plant and to sow. Ami as he knew better than they , about farming, and how to take ad vantage of the seasons, and to put in the proper crops at the jpToper, time and place, he instructed tbptf aI about this gave them his laws and' rules, by following which they, would certainly succeed, and he wo aid visit and ,suow them. Jief informed them that they must dig orjteg sweat and toil if they would live. Retaining the title in his own hands, ho had the x general oversight, and was to receive his rent at stated times. He told theih thatwhate'ver else of their own de visiiig;rul employment, amusement or pi-ont, they might have, following out their: own plans and hteas. This was fundamental in some form or another ou of the grbund bread wasto le brought, vegetables were to bd cultivated, grass was to grow. Ho matter how high orhowiow in fank any are, even his head overseer I'l'.t gctliis living ifl tlie same way. lie not only told them verbally, but g:iv them written direetious to help their meraoi ies, and dim-ted them to follow out his tttles whether, in every case, they un derstood the reasons of tliem or not. He warned them against congregating in largeji'umbers in towns and cities with feculence and filth. That suielliug the ski, anrt the "breath, of nlor,, in the country, the odor of the flowers, inhaling the fresh.breezes, was more conducive to health and to morals, than the reeking t piles oiilth Diat f'putrify the breath of bloonuag health j" tltat the prospect of ?ns and Wadows, the sight of sun-set aiidawxise, grain waving Jn the Avind, hills and mountains, babbling brooks, the lowing bf cattle hastening home at night with the inverted plough all this, was .uper,ior to the busy hum of men : iu the imirkel aiul crowded streets.

We. may build houscsfonstruct ships, steamlioats, raO i"as, yimges. &:c, we may work to re- alke owrideas in iron, brass, wool, cotton, 1 wootLond tone.-We can do this without any special aid, by studdying the. nature of each material,-and of the agencies to be lemployed with eocIuWe may pat them together with art1 and1 jskill. We may fcarrym venti re geni us to fagreat - height and almost overcome the' rt mertiee, the stubbornness and gravity, of matter. sWe bring the great powers of-faatui-eV- nnder pur control, the vapors, wind and-waves. We make the" sun turn painter, we employ the lightning as our post 'boy-; We thus honor our maker by the employment ' of the winds he made, upon the rough and raw material lie gave us ; and that shows our Gt-likelaatures. 1 tBy ' art, skill, time and labor and expenses; we take what he gi res n& for nothing and. give . it great ralue, by changing its form : shape and quality, f We fullynnderstand the oicrn tion of these meclianical agencies through out as jve can follow the unknown quan tity m , in the algebriac " problem to its solution. . - . , -., We may have more mechanical laws---or chemicals in addition. : But here in agriculture, the ultimate aim of which is the manufacture of ! flesh and blood, - we must sniicradd vital organic hnv. We must put ourselves in the line of God's laws, and work as one of the links in tlie chain of cause and effect without knowing how. We put certain things in operation and certain things result; but we do not do the work : Ave stand bv and let God work. We see the first step and the last ; step; the putting of grain into the earth, and the growth of grain in the ear, but the intermediate stage, how life passes into death,' and death into life we cannot un -derstand any more than we can how - the dead lxxly we commit to the earth is con nectotLwith the new resurrection body. As tvecame frpm the earth at first and are dust "all flesh is grass" and all go o dust again, ultimately all that nour ishes and sustains and clothes ns I must come but of the ground. And how aston ishing it is that in this way we form by employing in our behalf divine art and skill, the most sweet, beautiful and nour ishing articles out of what is the most foul and disgusting to all our .senses. The nenumiu flowers, the delicious vegeta bles; the delightful fnuts, 'derives ' what we value so much from the dung-hill. As the gieat poet says, fThis our dungy earth alike feels beasts and men." Let us take all this dirt, muck, manure, the very sight and smell of which we cannot en dure, subject it-to mechanical processes, to chemical laws, what do we get ? We may get some new products, but nothing to serve for human food. But as soon as we put the, smallest seed there, containing tlie germ of life, of organization, it causes, in a manner unscmtable by us, those sub stances, already combined in one way, to separate from this present union and re- combine, according to the nature of the seed, whether wheat, mustard-seed, water melon, deadly nightshade, &c. We pre pare the ground, put the materials in ' juxtaposition, trust that God's law will hold good as established at creation, and the results follow without our agency in the intermediate steps. We cannot" ac complish directly the result any more than we can make the material which are to be combined. God works by a natural law in connection with our working, but makes us understand that it is all owiug to him at last DivpiJ providence fits its work to, ami conditions it uikmi our acts: we take Got! at liis word; like the man with a m ithered hand, he doesfor us what, he promises when we do our duty. We pray, "Give Us day by day our daily bread;" he an swers, not by working a miracle as Christ did; not as he fed Elijah by raveus, but through our agency in accordance with Ids laws and by faith. There is no royal roarhto a supply of food, no short cut to come at it. A man is humrnVstarvin ijitue Hie in nature all around him in the i .

If they were disobedient, God, in Lev.: 26: 19, 20, threatens, "I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass; and your sti-epgth shall be spent in vain; for your land shall not yield her increase, neitlier shall the ti-ees of the land yield j their fi-uit, s." So tho Alwstle , in Heb. p : 7, 8, y, "For the earth that drinkest in the rain that cometh oft trpoo U, andhringetli forth herbs meet for them by whom it is out uiat wuicu iMiarcui thorns and briars is rejeeted, jand is nigh nnto cursing; whose end is to bo bnrned.w . r J f 5Alnmnn unri Jnv .ot, on ii T7 DOfomon , says, lrovf hJO, ,41, , rl went by tlie field of tlie slothful and by the yineyartl of nurn void of understand ing; and lof it was Ml grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof- and the stone wall thereof was ! broken down." Paul says again, II Cor. D: 10, "lie that soweth sn.ii in i o-j " reap also sparingly; and lie which sowetli bountifully shall re ip also bountifully." Now he that miuistercth seed to the sower, doth minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed 6owu, and increase the fruita of your righteousness." Isaac, in Gen. 27 : 27, exclaims, "See, the smell of my son is as the field which the Lord ! hath blessed." j ; So the pious, in ancient times felt their umui uqnuunnr uii uou ior tne fruits of tlie earth; and often expressed their gratitude for his gifts : or their confidence I in him, if he withheld them : "Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit he m the Mnes: the labor of the olive shall fail, and the field shall yield no meat food: the flock shall In; cut off from the fold, and there shall le ' nf 'Wl 111 Uw 8al,k'8 : 1 rejoin!
