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

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

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

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

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

The copying of deeds mortgages, bont
notes, leases and other legal forms as exe

much valuable information, and be as ef;

exercise of writing, as copying short seme
ces which give but little general informal

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

SCIENCE NOT NECESSARILY CONNECTS
WITH RELIGION.
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 ^
