One fact ought to be mentioned, which goes to prove that the system of manual labour is popular in the slave states. The proportion of students from the slave states is, to those from the free states, as ten to one.-Manual Labour ought to be considered as an innocent recreation, a useful amusement. This will be the case, whenever it can be removed from all circumstances carrying with them the idea of servile drudgery. The most valuable systems and even our holy religion have been odious in certain ages and countries, by reason of the circumstances with which they were connected. Remove these circumstances, and why may not the cultivation of the soil and the practice of the mechanic arts become the favourite amusements of men of wealth and taste? They fatigue the body less than some sports: they afford a greater scope for the exertions of intellect; they contain, I think, a greater fund for the gratification of the pleasures of taste. They produce not a little substantial profit, which can be said of but few sports. It is impossible to say, how much, the union of manual labour with a collegiate course, will contribute to the spread of the Gospel. May success, accompanied by the Divine blessing, attend your labour." Pres. Cossitt. 16.

Our Education Society connected with the college holds 112 acres of land; on which we have accommodations for a steward, and between 30 and 40 students, who are all pious and designed for the ministry. A scholarship in that is $60 per annum, and the beneficiary works two hours per day. To this we have many applicants, but are straitened for the want of funds.Our college classes have been irregular, but are assuming a regular character, and acquiring a taste for solid literature. In the view of the religious state of the west, a high missionary spirit is kept up in college. Our college course is nearly such as pursued at Yale, except the Hebrew; and for the study of that we are deficient in the necessary books. Our present session promises an equal proportion of religious students with the last."—Pres. Blackburn. 17. Miami University, Ohio.
