Our farmers talk of resting their lands by sowing them down with small grain. The English farmer would ask, “If you call that rest, pray, what do you call work 1” The se verest crop to which he submits his land, is a crop of small grain, alwnys manured and nev er followed by another small grain crop until an ameliorating crop has intervened. The lands of .England were once exhausted and comparatively valueless. It is by a system which annually improves them, that they have attained their present enormous value. The adoption of an improving system gives to lan ded property an advantage, which few other kinds of property possess. A share in a bank or Hail Hoau, costing 9100 inay occasionally run up a few dollars above par, while it con tinues to pay the owner a fair dividend. A E iecc of ground, originally costing 9100, may. y improved management, (where improved management is general and has given to lan ded estate its true value,) pay annually, a good interest, increase in saleable value, and perhaps, in a few years sell for enough to bay ten of tho Bank or Rail Road shores, one of which was originally its equal in value. 5th. Our crops are not only very exhaus- _ ^ d ting, but th< y re-jure on amount of labor not I for one night, known elsewhere. Our farmers and planters no. We kne generally hold largo tracts of land. Much of l his,.as we have seen, is annually idle and unpro ductive. In the cultivation of that portion in use, we use less land and marc labor, perhaps, than any other intelligent agricultural popu lation, whatever. The average of labor, (steady labor) on a European farm in high culture, will perhaps not exceed two hands to the hundred acres. This will include pasture, meadow and ploughed land, but it is all annu ally productive—that which is not ploughed yielding a return, including interest and ex- l I -mber of acres, on almost every l.lcr parts of Georgia are worn ,«t; of course paying no interest, uiug part of the farm is that which «plough.

(( J P»e land a value independent 7 oplicated annual labor to bo penses quite equal to that which is ploughed. There is no dead capital in the case. In the Northern States of this country, the average of labor to the number of productive acres, is perhaps still less. It may be of in tcreat to offer a few instances taken from the transactions of the N. Y. Agricultural Socie ty, the details of which were given under oath. These instances will show that at the South we have no practical idea of the amount of in come. which may he derived from a given number of acres of land with a small amount of labor. J- V. Grove's farm, 234 acres, of which 37 are woods. Gross sales ®G,733,89 cts.; mount paid for labor, besides the farmer's own labor, 9520 15 cts.—at the usual rate of wa ges, this would about pay three bands, yet there are cash sales of nearly 97000. ■ J. Westfall's farm 202 acres. Gross sales, 94,1*73,44. Paid for labor. $GG3. This in eludes the labor of the farmer at 920 per month, and all the labor expended in improve ments, manuring, &c. W. Holmes' farm, 185 acres. Gross re ccipts 90,720. Paid for labor, 9650, inclnd ing labor of the farmer—equal to between three and four hands. L. D. Clift's farm, 160 acres. Gross sales. $6,344. Two regular hands, including extra help, paid for labor 941*5- lt. J. Swan’s farm, 325 acres. Gross sales, 910.771. Paid for labor, 9000. Wc might multiply thess instances from the invaluable volumes before us. They are in deed exceptional cases, being prize farms, but they illustrate the point at which we are aim ing, the proportion of labor in the manage ment cf productive land. It is to be borne in mind, that in offering those forms for pretni urns, it was necessary in the specification of details, to mention the nir.ount of manure, as no farm would receive a premium which was not under • a eywtcm cf manngoinent which would improve it annually-. The returns men tioned by these contestants indicate an aver age of from thirty to forty two horse wagon loads of manure to each acre of ploughed land. Under such treatment, the older the land is, the better it becomes—thus not only tho rev enue of the farmer but hiu capital in land an nually increases. In entering a country rep resented by such farmit g, a purchaser will not inquire as he would at the South. “How long will this land last,’’ hut, how loDg has it been improved ?*' The difference in these nat ural questions in tho two sections of country, offers a key to the difference in the value of land. We cannot forbear giving another instance originally published in the Valley Farmer, of tbo farm of a Mr. Gentry of Missouri. The instances previously given are on a small scale. This is on a large scale, and on this account may be more instructive to our large Planters. This farm consists of 3500 acres under fence, and mostly in divisions of forty acres; 1400 in blue grass, 700 in clover and Timothy meadow, 300 in corn, 100 in oats, 20 acres in millet and the rest in woods pas ture. There are SO miles of fence mostly rails. The farm force consists of twelve grown hands and six boys. Gross receipts from the farm 927,000. This return gives an annual gross iucome of eight dollars from every acre, in cluding woods—it gives $1500 to each hand, man and boy, and allows about 200 acres to each band. * Suppose n person hesitating between the purchase of Mr. Gentry’s farm and one in Georgia. Wc might suppose him to say, “If I buy the Missouri farm, U is true I must buy stock to put upon it: But if I buy the Geor gia farm it will require a large gang of no gaoes to work 3500 acres according to the common plan—this will cost a great sum of money—on the whole, I will buy in Georgia, but the cost of this amount of labor must come out of the lands. And besides, I must con sider how long this rolling land in Georgia will last in the cultivation of cotton and corn, and as it is perishable projierty, I must regu late my price accordingly.” It is thus, that our landed property is depreciated in value. The causes which have been mentioned, we believe, are those which most injuriously affect the valne of Southern lands. Wo have only presented heads of thoughts, for each poiut would require extended remarks fully to illus trate. Our defective system of agriculture has been stated generally, as the cause of the result we are condcusing, and as particulars under this general head, we have enumerated the facts, that our farmers buy land as erty to be worn out. nut improved— large proportion of our landed property yields no annual income—tliat cur system allows no value to land independent of costly labor be stowed upon it—that onr succession of crops is of a most exhausting ni ture and lastly, that in their cultivation they ir squire an amount of labor, not known elsewhere in intelligent ag riculture. We should deeply regret it, if any person suppose that these defect i in Southern Agri culture arc pointed out iti a presumptuous or captious spirit. The sii aject we are discus sing, more gravely affectu the pecuniary in terest of Southern laud folders than any oth er which can bo present* d for their considera tion. If there be a process by which their lands may be brought np'to the standard of Northern value, the lauls which thousands now own* and which are of little worths would bring to their children, iifducnce. We believe that there is no valid re non why this result may not follow, and in is comparatively short period. ‘ J It involves no censar.t upon the men who established the preseut order of agricultural affairs to point out its picscnt defects. They were pioneers, for tho inast part men ot limi ted means, encountcrim; the forest, prevented by necessity from using improved farming tools, raising stock without difficulty in the range, and only for their own consumption as they were unsaleable, where all were produ- of agriculture includes at I m were easy of transporlion tor long distances by wagon, and which would command cash on their arrival in market. But all_ this lias of a most exhaustiug. or been changed. 1 hat w hidi w7■!J■ uui F«s character.- In one respect, tunc, may be our fault. Our Ra ■ 5 «keleast exhausting, consid- rivers enable us now to carry to BtldaVWl to sell every thiug which men eat and wear. And we shall be greatly reprehensible it we do not improve thu advantage to the. improve ment of our husbandry. i c ^ ,e getable matter it returns [ -■ wherever land is hilly, the ruary f or thia plant, must the washing of the sod. This thought lends to the proper remedy for the low price of our land. That remedy is the incorporation into our system of agriculture, of a feature by which crops, for the improvement of.the soil directly or indirectly, shall be ai regularly cultivated as crops for sale. Wheth er these crops shall bo returned after having passed through the bowels of farm stock, is a separate question. We wish to see it regard ed as much a part of the farmer’s innocent boast, that he has improved so many acres of land as that be has sold so many bags of cot ton. To do this wc must raise horses, mules, cat tle. hogs and sheep, for onr own consumption, and for the supply of the market. Wool is ready of sale as cotton. It is cheaper in onr climate, and with proper summer and winter pastures to raise a pound of merino wool worth fifty cent* in New York, than it is to raise a pound of cotton, worth 12 cents in the same market. The cause of this is obvious. The increase of a flock of sheep, well managed cov ers its expenses and the wool is clear. There is no process by which we can get cotton clear. Two negro men. with proper enclosure and pastures, will take care of 1,000 Merino sheep. It is estimated by competent judges, that the droppings of 1,000 sheep on an acre of ground, ' ;ht, are equal to 200 pounds of gun- know what guano costs, and by counting 305 nights, we may estimate the val ue of 1,000 sheep, in the improvement of 305 acres of land for one year. The cheapest way by which wc can raise sufficient stock to keep our capital in land always increasing, is by the cultivation of the artificial grasses. In their cultivation it is only the first cost which tells—afterwards they work for us without la bor on our part. We would begin with the woodland and woods pastures. An English park is nothing but a woods pasture, and it pays an annual interest on a heavy investment. We have in Georgia upwards of thirty millions of acres of unimproved lands to six millions enclosed and improved. Much of this land is perhaps hope lessly irreclaimable, or at least for many years. But a vast amount of it can be used for the purpose suggested. When this is done, what an addition to the value of the lands, the wealth of the State and the comfort of the peo ple ! What an exhaastless means of improv ing lauds injured by scourging cultivation! A farmer has $1200 which he desires to in vest—he is doubtful whether to buy a negro man or more laud. Suppose he does neither, but expends this amount in the purchase of some one of the concentrated manures, applies it to his wheat land in the fall and sows clover with in the manner suggested in .another col umn of this Journal. If his wheat is success ful), he will get back, Mr. David Dickson tells us, one hundred per cent on his outlay for ma nures—if his clover is successful, he will be a- ble to raise stock enough, hogs especially, to prevent the necessity of a future outlay for manure. The land which before this process commenced was not worth perhaps five dollars an acre, the fanner would be very sorry to. sell for fifty dollars an acre, after n good clo ver sod has been formed upon it. It will more than pay him the interest of that sum annual ly withou^labor, and when the sod is turned under for cotton, corn or wheat the results will amaze him. A slight dressing of manure on lnnd deeply ploughed, (a dressing on the sur face.) will cause clover and the grasses to take hold and flourish, where their growth was oth erwise impracticable. In one word the remedy for the low price of our landed estate is to adopt a system which will annually improve the land. Onr object in this article is to introduce the right kind of thought into our Agriculture. We do not meau to say that our fanners do not think—they do think, and some of them intensely—but the subject of these thoughts is too often solely, “How shall wc make more cotton ?” We would append to this euquiry an addition, “How shall we moke more cot ton while wc improve our lauds I” Wo be lieve both these ends arc attainable. Wc propose no violent innovations. Wc would not diminish the amount of cotton and corn produced, but would increase it. Wc wish to see this increased production for a smaller area of land and by high manuring and skillful cultivation; we wish to see our now usclsss forests, paying the owner as the park docs the Englishman, feeding his flocks and giving fertility to his arable lands. Wc wish to see the arable land, when made rich and generously repaying its liberal owners in the process, afterward allowed that repose from its toils, which God has ordained that all organ ised nature must be allowed, in order that it may properly perform its functions. The views presented are not novelties. They are the results of observation upon the prac tice of others, where landed estate gives for tune, and a cpntrast with our own practice where landed estate is sometimes an encum brance rather than a source of wealth. Will the farmer allow something of the fol lowing train of thoughts to pass through his mindY” “I own 500 acres of land—I can hardly support my family upon it. I might sell it for 92.500. If it was in some places, I could sell it for 950,000 or rent it for 9500 a year. What is the reason of this difference ? Can 1 remedy it ?” A thonghtful mind turn ed to these enquiries will ascertain facts to the benefit of the thinker and the public. The improved practice of no one man, can indeed, materially affect the price of landed estate in a great extent of country. But it can add to his income. It will affect favorably the inter est of his children, and as others follow the ex ample, the iufiueuce extends, and greatly in creased products, and greatly enhanced value of land is the result of that influence. When an agricultural practice which hasgiven a large price to land elsewhere becomes general at the South, there is no reason why land at the South may not be as valuable as in any other portion of the globe. Courtship. Courtship is the last brilliant scene in the maiden life of woman. It is, to her, a garden where no weeds mingle with the flowers, but all is lovelv and beautiful to the senses. It is a dish of nightingales served up by moonlight to the mingled music of manly tenderness and gentle whisperings—an eagerness that does not outstep the l>ounds of delicacy, and a series, of fluttcrings, throbbing?, high pulses, burning cheeks, and drooping lashes. But, however de lightful it may be, courtship is, nevertheless, serious business; it is the first turning point i the life of woman, crowded with perils and temptations. There is as much danger in the strength of love as in its weakness. The kin dled hope requires watching. The rose tints of affection dazzle and bewilder the imagination, and while always bearing in mind that life with out love is a barren wilderness, it should not be overlooked that true affection requires solid sup ports. Discretion tempers passion, and itM precisely that quality which, oftencr than any other, is found to he absent in courtship. Young ladies in love, therefore, require wise counsel lors. They should not trust too much to the impulses of the heart, nor be too easily capti vated by a winning exterior. In the selection of a husband, character should he considered more than appearances. Young men indinod to intemperate habits—even but slightly rarely make good husbands to the end; they have no sufficient moral stamina to enable them to resist temptation even^in its incipient stages, and, being thus deficient in self-respect, they c innot possess that pure, uncontaminated feel ing which alone capacitates a man for rightly appreciating the tender and loving nature of ' true woman. The irreligious man is like a ship without a rudder, and he never can make a good husband; for a house darkened by cold skepti cism or an indifference to religion and its duties is never a home—it is merely a shelter; but there is little warmth in the atmosphere of the rooms, and every object in them looks chill and chilling. The indolent man, likewise, cannot bo expected to make a good husband, for he neglects his time and wastes his estate, allowini it to be overrun with thistles and brambles, ani subsists on the industry of others. Every pre caution then, is necessary in tho selection of husband. Blackslicnr. The laying of tho iron on the track of the Main Trunk was completed to Blackshcar on •the 15th inst, and tho train commenced its reg ular daily visit to that point on Friday last-— This new and growing village, tho county site of Pierce, occupies an elevated plain, crossed by the Railroad, and though laid out in the primi tive forest scarcely a twelvemonth ago, contains at the present time a neat Court House, an Ho tel, three stores and quite a number of cotnfor table residences. It is eighty-six miles distant from Savannah, and about eighteen from Warcs- boro'. The Main Trunk is graded ahd ready to re ceive the iron some ten miles furtht* on, and as all the materials are at hand, the trains will soon be running to l'ankeetown, west of the Great Satillo. The progress now being made by the contractors, and the comparative light ness of the work guarantees the completion of the Road, to the extent of at least twenty-five miles beyond the latter point, in time to carry stward the first of the next crop. The Protltsof Insurance. I That reliable and well conducted insurance companies make enormous profits is a fact not generally known. To show how the case stands, we copy from the Boston Herald the subjoined paragraph: “Of the Boston stock offices, the American divided 954,000 on a capital of 9300,000, and had9171,000 reserved profits; the Iloylston paid a dividend of 10 per cent., with 9121.- 534 reserved profits ; the Boylston paid 20 per ceut. dividend, with 9233,743 reserved profits ; the Firemen’s 23 per cent., 9175.000 reserved ; the Manufacturers’ 30 per cent., with 9245,730 reserved; tho Merchants’ 16 per cent.; the National 27 per cent.; the Nep tune 20 per cent. Besides theso there are sev eral foreign insurance companies doiDg busi ness in the Commonwealth, whose dividends vary from 20 to 30 per cent. ty A western paper, after noticing a mel ancholy instance of intoxication—a man trying to cross tiro street like a bullfrog—says: 11 c left him ruminating upon the principle of hon- mtal propulsion, with “corn juice'' as a mo- ; last levoe, Senator Cling- i:i, was presented by Mr. A Country Home. O, give me a home in the country wide; And a sett by the turner's wood fireside: Where the fire barns bright. On a frosty night.

A Fi|;Iit xvilli a Shark. About the latter end of Queen Anne’s wars Capt John Beams, commander of the York Merchant, arrived at Barbadocs from England. Having discmltarkcd the last part ofhLs loading, which was coals, the sailors who had been em ployed in that dirty work ventured into the sea to wash themselves. There they had not been long, before a person on board espied a large shark making towards them, and gave them notice ofdheir danger, upon which they swam back and reached the boat, all but one; him the monsUir’ Overtook almost within resrh of the oars, and gripping him by the small of the back, his devouring jaws soon ent asunder and as soon swallowed the lower part of Ins body tlu> remaining part was taken up and carried on board, where itis comrade km. His friendship with the deceased had been long tfiKCfiguishwl by a reciprocal discharge of such endearing of fices as implied a union and sympathy of souls. When he saw the severed trunk of his friend it was with a horror and emotion too great for words to paint During this affecting scene, the insatiable shark was traversing the bloody search after the remainder of his prey. The rest of the crew thought, themselves happy in being on bouril, lie alone unhappy tliat he was not within rmcli of the destroyer." Fired at the sight and vowing that lie would make the dev jurer disgorge, or be swallowed himself into the same grave, he plunges into the deep, armed with a large sharp pointed knife. The shark no sooner saw him but be made fu riously toward him—both equally eager, tho one for his prey, the other for revenge. The moment the shark opened his capacious jaws, his adversary, dexterously diving and grasping him with his left hand somewhat below the up per fins, successfully employs his knife in his right hand, firing him repeated stabs in the belly. The enraged shark, after many unavail ing "efforts, finding himself matched in his own element, endeavors to disengage himself, some times plunging to the bottom, then mad with pain, rearing his uncouth form (now stained with his owu streaming blood) abovo the foam ing waves. The crews of the surrounding ves sels saw the unequal combat, uncertain from which ol the combatants tho stream of blqpd is sued ; til! at length the shark, weakened by the loss of blood, made toward the shore, aud with him his conqueror; who, flushed with an assu rance of victory, pushes his foe with redoubled ardor, and by the help of an ebbing tide, drag ging him on shore, rips up his bowels, and unites and buries the severed carcass of his friend in one hospitable grave.—Frazer's Mag.

Landing of Slaves.nt the South The N. Y. Journal of Commerce has infor mation which appears to be reliable tliat a car go of slaves were landed at the mouth of the Mississippi about fifteen months ago, unknown to the United States authorities. The United States Consul at Inagua, Turks Island, in a pri vate letter writes as follows: 1 have just been informed of an interesting circumstance in regard to the landing of slaves near New Orleans, and having seen no reference to the transaction in our American papers, and feeling confident of the truth of the statmer.t, I send it to you with all the particulars I could gather from the author, who was on board. John James, an English boy, (seaman,) who shipped on board the English barque Esther Francis, at St Jago, and was wrecked at the Uland in January last says that he sailed from the port of Philadelphia in the Sommer ofl867, for Havana, in the ship - -, of New York, and that he sailed in the same ship from Havana to the coast ot Africa, where they took on board a cargo of slaves at a place called, as he thinks, Baraba, and tliat they landed the same slaves near the mouth of the Mississippi, (to the North east of it,) in January, 1858. They landed six hundred, and lost only about a dozen on the vovage. That they landed them in their boats without molestation, there being no settlement at the spot, and that they immediately proceed ed from the place of debarkation to. New Or leans, and reported (as he learned from the sec ond mate) to be from the coast of Africa. He says they fell in with no cruisers on tho voy age, which occupied from six to eight months. He does not remember the name of the captain or mate. I have no doubt of tho correctness of the boy’s tatement, ami was astonished to know that such a trade was carried on so boldly on our own coast. Northern Testimony. The following article appeared in the Cincin nati Commercial, a Black Republican organ. The views are somewhat extraordinary for that source, and are, in many respects, similar to the conclusions of that comprehensive little volume, “Cotton is King From the Cincinnati Commercial. A LITTIjE PLAIN TALK ABOUT TUB FOB- ElON SLAVE TitADE. A paragraph in the telegraphic news from Washington, tire other day, informs tho public that Senator Seward lias introduced his hill to abolish the African Slate trade. About two hundred millions of dollars having already been expended, and some thousands of gallant lives sacrificed, in fruitless efforts to do this same thing, in the same way- proposed by Senator Seward, it Twty well be questioned whether the experiment is worth 'continuing. The efficiency of legislation in preventing any given evil, depends very much upon the rela tions existing between the law-making power and the causes which operate to produce tho evil to be remedied. Let us therefore inquire for a moment, to as certain what relationship exists between legis lation and the causes of the African slave trade; and we may perhaps discover the reason of tho lamentable failure of the united legislative efforts of civiliflM nations for its suppression. Why does the African Stare Trade Exist ? Simply because the civilized world demands the products of slave labor and will not do without them. To a very considerable extent, it is a ucstion of Stomach vs. Sentiment If one-half lie coffee drinkers of the world were to aban don the use of that beverage to-morrow, the slave trade to Brazil would decrease from twen ty to forty per cent within the next two years, But whilst fifty millions or more of white phil anthropists are in the daily use of that agreea ble drink, the less conscientious planter cf the raw material in Brazil, will resort to every ef fort, legitimate or illegitimate, to supply the de mand, and the price of coffee in New York and Liverpool w ill determine the amount of risk lie is willing to incur in a venture to the coast of Africa for negroes. If coffee will bring him twenty cents a pound, lie will bo willing to loso four cargoes of negroes out of every five he sends for, and if it only brings ten cents, he cannot afford to risk so much. When the political philosophers and philan thropists of France, thought' that “ Liberty, Equality and Fraternity” required the abolition of slavery, in their West India possessions, tl.or had Kcnfio enough to know two things—First That the proposed emancipation of the slaves wouldn't have the slightest cflect upon the ap petite of the French people for Sugar; and Sec ond, That they could not longer expect a sup ply of that article from those French West In dia Islands. They, therefore, immediately and very wisely set about encouraging the cultiva tion of the sugar beet in -France. Now, the French manufacture a great proportion, and perhaps all of the sugar they consume—but it s not at all improbable that if every sugar beet seed there, were destroyed to-day, the negroes now vegetating along the coast of Africa, with in the reach of the slave traffic, would commence suffering the consequences within the next twelve montlis. It is said that the price of negroes is greatly advanced in the South. Why is this t 11 is not because white men in tho South love slavery, but because they love money. Slaves make money for them and they can make more now than formerly, because there is an increased de mand for the products of their labor. Nineteenth-twentieths, perhaps, of all the cotton manufactured and used throughout the civilized world is produced by the labor of slaves. There are a great many other people then, be sides slaveholders, who nre peculiarly interes ted in making negroes pick cotton. The slave holder IS simply the agent for tho manufacturer of the raw material. The manufacturer in his turn, is the factor of the jobbers and retail dry goods merchants; and these again make their money by selling to the individual consumers. Hence thu interests of all these classes combine to make it profitable for the slaveholder to hold slaves and to increase their number. Now if there is any legitimate way for legis lation to counteract the influence of these com bined causes, there is no doubt tliat in tliat way their effects could be reached. In other words, if legislation can be properly invoked and effi ciently exercised to prevent the consumption of the products of slave labor, to discourage their manufacture and to curtail and finally abolish all commerce in them, then the mischiefs and evils connected with slavery, are subject to leg islative control. The soundness ofthis position is recognized in tho very cardinal idea of the Colonization scheme. That great philanthropic enterprise looks to the development of the resources of Africa by free African labor, and the consequent supply "of the demand of tlic world for tropical products, by this free labor—and that as a necessary result, slave labor will loso in the consumption, and thus eventually ,l>c abandoned. Hut although tliat scheme has been represen ted by the highest intellects of tho country, and lias been administered with equal ability and liberality, its results have been altogether inad equate and unsatisfactory. Why ? Because the whole system is based upon an erroneous estimate of the character and abilities of the Native African. God almighty scents to have made that indi vidual morally, physically and sentimentally averse to labor; and the Colonization Society has been unable to correct the mistake ! The enlightened descendants of the brave Anglo- Saxon stock of men, who commenced fighting for the right of governing themselves, and of en joying the proceeds of their own labor, some six ‘liundrcd years ago, have been guilty of the er ror of supposing, tliat what is now so perfectly apparent to them in civil polity, can be equally so, by the telling, to any other portion ofthchu- mamfamily! Hence the negro, whose crude ideas have never yet attained the a l* c’s of the political alphabet, is to be put at once to the reading of the Federalist, and is expected to carry on a government in accordance with its principles! This may be all very beautiful in theory, hut one may be excused for doubting its practical success. Tho Liberian Republic, therefore, may not be very confidently looked to, either as an instrumentality to counteract the commercial and physical causes tliat contribute to the per petuation of slavery, or to abolish tho African slave trade. ■ What hope is there, then, to control or limit this execrable traffic V In the first place, let the world no longer satisfy. itself by this miserable and impracticable cant about slavery and the negroes. We are all engaged in the slave trade. We are all responsible for it The man whom the laws of civilized nations condemn to the gallows as a pirate, is encouraged by the civili zed world to do tills very tiling. Mr. Seward encourages him when he legislates to protect the manufacturing interests of Massachusclts and the commercial iifttrcsts of New York. Let slavery cease to be treated as a question for politicians to make capital out of—let its truo relations, physical and commercial as well as moral anil political, be clearly ascertained and distinctlv defined, and then, but never till then, will its difficulties be solved, and its abuses cor rected, H.
