 tin pans are, attract the beat very readily, and of

Ciiltiviitiou of Grass. 



Among the improvements of a few years |)asl, 

 there are none that promise more than those in 

 the r(dti\alion of grass. The' peculiiirilv of ibis 

 cnliine, lirsl brought to the notice of the public 

 by .Mr. Pliinney, is, that the land is continued in 

 grass year afler year, without the intervention ol 

 any other crop, except occasionally Indian corn. 

 Thus fir it has succeeded well. Jt is done by 

 turning the furrous flat, rolling them smooth, 

 harrowing or cross-plougliini', or bodi wiibout 

 ilisliirbuig Ihe sod, apply ing compost manures, 

 niid the seed upon the snrliice and harrowing it 

 in. This process is repeated as often as the l.ind 

 demands a coating of manure. The laud is kept 

 in a light and in favorable coudilioii for snppoit- 

 ing the crops, by the decaying of vegetable mat- 

 ter that was upon the surlJice. 



Another modification in the cultivation of 

 grass, which has been successfully practiced by 

 fllr. D. Putnam, of Danvers, and others, is by 

 sowing the seed among the corn at the last hoe- 

 ing—taking care to have the ground left in a 

 level and smooth condition. Repeated ex|;eri- 

 ments show that the old practice of raising n hill 



Kiug^s Chapel, Boston. 



This relic of ante-rev(dutionary times is kept 

 in its original sh:i[ e and condilion by the good 

 taste o!' us propi ieior.s. 



The first building erected in Boston for public 

 worship according lo the foritis of the Church of 

 Engliind. stood at llic corner of Treiuoiit and 

 School streets, on part of the ground now occu- 

 pied by the •' Kins:'s Chapel " or as it is common- 

 ly called, ^^ Stone Chape!." It was a small wood- 

 en building, wiih a steeple, and was finished in a 

 plain and nnosteniatious manner. For many 

 years it was without pews. The whole cost of 

 Ihe building did not exceed .£'J00; £l.'50 of wliich 

 was obtained by subscriptions made ihronghout 

 the province. It was first o'jcupied July 1G8[), 

 Kev. IMr. Ralcliff lieiug the first Kector. 



For man" years it went by the name of " His 

 .Majesty's Chapel" — then of the '^ King's CItapet" 

 — liming the reign of Queen Anne, in honor of 

 her .Miiji'siy, was called the " Queen's Cliiipel." 

 The '• King's Cliapel" was however, soon resior- 

 ed, and it has been known as such ever since, 

 excepting lor a lime when the name of ki.ng was 

 respected little if any more ihaii the name of his 

 Satanic Majesty. During this time it was called 

 Ihe " Chape! Churrli," or " Stone Chapel." 



This small wooden Church answered the pur- 

 pose for which it was designed for many yeais. 

 But the members continued lo increase in num- 

 bers as well as properly, lo say nolhing of the 

 increase of that against which all sects are ever 

 ready to preach — pride. As they needed better 

 and more extensive accrininioilaiions, il \:nss(j<iii 

 determined to erect another more spacious and 

 snb^lanlial edifice upon the same spot — one 

 which should be more worthy the cause to which 

 it was to be devoted, and the name it was to bear. 

 This was ill the year JTJS. 



This evidence of the flourishing condition of 

 Episcopacy in Boston was viewed with much 

 dissatisfaction by many of those who were of 

 puritanical descent, and they endeavored to 

 throw obstacles in the way of success. In order 

 to carry out the designs of the new church, it 

 was necessary lo obtain part of the land upon 

 which the public school house stood in School 

 street, and application was iniide to the proper 



authorities for the pm-cha.se of ihc same. Great 

 opposilion was made lo it by llie stiff ru/nps, 

 which occasioned much delay, bin a more liber- 

 al spiiit linidly prevailed — llie prayer of the pe- 

 (i(iou was granted, and ihe school liouse was or- 

 dered to be removed. During the controversy 

 many squilis were pnbli.-hed in the newspapers' 

 calciilaied iii iliioH' lidicnle iij.on ihe underluk,- 

 ing — among theui the Ibllowing : 



" A Fis for your l.famins— 1 (till von t'l,* town 



Til inaUc ihe Church lan;iT st jiuU lln.' Schaul dbWTl. 



Ujiluckihj spoken, cried I'lil .M.aso-l Bircii, 



Then Lcarniiij^, 11 seems, .•^Utps the gro^vlh of the CAujicA."' 



The corner stone of the new edifice was Inid 

 on llie lllb (lay of Augnsl. 1740. The obi 

 church was allowed to slalid iiulil the new 

 foundation was nearly compleied. 



The Uev. Dr. (yaner, who laid llie corner stone> 

 cimtiuued to be reclor until the Ibilish rule ill 

 Boston was at an end in I77(>. He went to 

 England where he died (at foug .\sliloii) in the 

 lalter part of the year 179'^', aged 'M years. Alter 

 the siege, the church was occupied by the Old 

 Soullisoeii'ty imlil their bouse vvas re-fitted. 

 The society was then re-organizfd : Rev. James 

 Freeui.-in became rector — ilie lilin^y was .-dlered 

 so as to conform to the Uniiai i.iu laiih — relainiiisf 

 the /o;-m* of the (/hurch of Enghmd — and so it 

 has conlitiued to the present day. 



The Science of JIowi.ng — Alilimigh many 

 grass fields have been much hurt by the ice, or 

 wiiiier killed, yet we hope that iliere will be plen- 

 ty of mowing by and by. .\ writer in the New 

 York Mechanic gave the following rules for 

 young begiiineislo mow easily and handsomely. 



" The first thing," he says, "is to keep ihe scythe 

 sharp. No man can he a good mower without it. 

 1 had become a good mower," said he, " when I 

 fell in company with not only n good mower, but 

 a scieiilific one ; and altir the seccmd or third 

 dav, fiiidni;; ihat I could not keep up wiih him 

 without doing myself an injury, v.wd painlid as it 

 was for me to acknowledge it, (lor 1 was ambi- 

 tious,) yet I was conifielled to c;dl my friend lo a 

 sMiid in llie .-iiiilsl ol a suaili. I said, Mr. Pick- 

 et, if you know any thing which you can coin- 

 municale to me of ihe skill of miaving, 1 beg of 

 you to do so, for I am exhaiiMrd, and may as Hell 

 cimfess at once that I caniiol keep up with you. 

 H(? slopped, came back, look my scy ihe and ex- 

 plained lo me ihe main governing principles. I 

 adopled them, and in less than one hour 1 could 

 keep up wiih him in pel feet ease. Indeed, I had 

 at least 20 per I'eiit. more of pliNsical strength 

 than he had. It was science .-done lhat enabled 

 him to lead me lo this extreme." The rules which 

 this person taught him were the following:^ 

 1st. The scythe should hang naiural and easy, 

 and he kept in first rule order. 2d. .'Vs you ap^
