From the Fanners Cabinet. LAW. Good lawyers nre seldom engaged in a lii gallon on their own account, and goo doctors take but little medicine. All farmers should know enough abot law to keep out of if, or if they should be come involved in it, to act understanding! and rationally, under the circumstances i which they may find themselves placed. The principles of what is called commo law always conform to sound reason an common sense, but statute law is often arb trary in. its provisions. Every intelligent f griculturiat should become acquainted wit the laws of the State in which lie is locatei so far as they have a bearing on his imm -rfiate interests or duties, not to enable him' become a competitor in litigation, but to ii struct him mhhe means of performing h duties to his friends and neighbors, by givii his advice and assistance in cases that 111 avoidably arise in nil communities. Tl laws which have relation to the poor, t! roads, partition fences, county rates and 1 vies, apprentices and strays, should be fun liar to, and well understood by every lan holder in the Slate. Those that have rei '* ' *-? ? n/lm!niclratr lion to tne (JU'lflSOJ wrtumr, nuiiiiiii?i>?? guardian and trustee, are of vast important and there are few persons of property respectability but what are called upon some period or other of their livea to act aciiw of these capacities ; it is therefore much consequence that some general kno ledge at least of the laws on these subjw fhouldbe possessed by farmers generally there will always be points of difficulty or i tricncy arising where legal counsel will be i dispensable bufjstiil, a knowledge ofthege era! duties which are so easily acquire should be possessed more generally th is at present the case. Every respect at farmer should be the proprietor of a digc ted copy of the laws of the s'ate ; it will a to his knowledge, and enable him to exte his usefulness, and it will be of indalual advantage to his children, who as they grc up to manhood will be gradually acquiring knowledge of the laws by which they are lie governed, without any severe study loss of time from other occupations. If fa wcrs generally possessed more knowledj of the laws on subjects of general intere UtDt'nrc ivniiicl cr?nn hppnnie |icnjr ivfcK'Wft scarce article in the community ; their fo< would be gone, and they would be obliged seek some more honest calling for subsit ence. This would be a great blessing those on whom they at present prey, ai would tend to promote the tranquility ai harmony of society. The copying of deeds mortgages, bont notes, leases and other legal forms as exe cises when learning to write would give bo much valuable information, and be as ef; cient instruction to them in the mechanic exercise of writing, as copying short seme ces which give but little general informal The copying off of whole laws on imports subjects wbuld impress their provisions i the mind* of school boys, so as to rend them indellible, and might be of much s< vice to them in after life. If the efT'Ct of these suggestions shou tend Tn the least degree to lead more of tl youth of our country to aim at studying profession, the writer would freely recc them, for crottding what are called * ti learned professions," is an evil of gre magnitude, which has robbed agriculture ?oi.Kiooto wi'Hrmt ndrl.i sianj piwmiDiii^ nuuj?v>ai ?- ?? any thing to the reputation of the bar.

It seems a waste of words to prove th science is not necessarily connected wii religion, were not its elevating, ennoblinj and even pur.fying effects sometimes insij ted on in a way wldch would lead men 1 think scienen almost a Dart of morals. N doubt an enthusiastic attachment to scier tific studies is scarcely compatible with th Jove of sensual gratification ; but ther apart from religious principle, it will op< rate to the equal exclusion of the highc moral sentiments. Unimbued with the spit it of the Gospel, the philosopher may ric in the regions of abstract speculation, till h becomes as insesible to the cal s of benevc lence as to the impulses of aoimal gratifies tion. As to literature, none will deny the in place of an instrument of improvemen it may and often dot s become a most pou erfui engine of popular cobruption. At th present day the press teems with work whose effects, were it not for the efforts c piety, would bo destructive of public moral and notional stability. Few things are mor deserving of serious reprehension, assymp toms of an unhealty moral condition, tha: I the extensive and increasing demand for | Ii I works of fiction. What can be more detri-1 the i. mental to tho formation of character, than j Ter d works abounding with false views of life,, s'af transporting the reader info an imaginary 6 j. world out of that which he is placed in, and for | to which he returns with disgust; instilling I v i erroneous sentiments as to the standard of 6.01 n ! conduct, inducing a morbid love of novelty, I : unfrequently pallitfting and excusing vice; thir ,n | in almost all their lessons counteracting the for l(] efforts of the preacher, and destroying the lion j. taste for argumentative and instructive read- I i- ing; above all, for the serious perusal of pen lh the Bible and works of piety ? Few soils are of 1 more unfavourable for mental and religious I e. ' culture than that which has been exhausted of i l0 | ana impoverished by successive crops of ^ t these luxuriant but noxious products of im- o is ! ag'n&?ion : and the evil has attained a mag- 1 ,g ' nitude which demands tire serious consider ^ j ation of Christian parents and instructors. - , ie Rev.
