Agriculture, art, commerce, science — everything that man is or has, in the highest state of civilization, is, in a second degree at least, its work. It has cleared the forests, slain the beasts that infested them, tilled the ground, mowed the crops, built the granaries, for thousands of years. It has erected the edifices which are the pride of civilized man, not less than the cabin in which the settler squ
