 them. When we come, as Bryant says 

 in his &quot; Iliad/ to leave the circus of this 

 life, and join that innumerable caravan 

 which moves, it will be some satis 

 faction to us, that we have never, in 

 the way of gardening, disposed of even 

 the humblest child unnecessarily. My 

 plan would be to put them into Sunday 

 schools more thoroughly, and to give 

 the Sunday schools an agricultural turn ; 

 teaching the children the sacredness 

 of neighbors vegetables. I think that 

 our Sunday schools do not sufficiently 

 impress upon children the danger, from 

 snakes and otherwise, of going into the 

 neighbors gardens.
