48 MY SUMMER IN A GARDEN. 



leave the circus of this life, and join that 

 innumerable caravan which moves, it will 

 be some satisfaction 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 intQ Sunday- 

 schools more thoroughly, and to give the 

 Sunday-schools an agricultural turn ; teach- 

 ing the children the sacredness of neigh- 

 bors' vegetables. I think that our Sunday- 

 schools do not sufficiently impress upon 

 children the danger, from snakes and other- 

 wise, of going into the neighbors' gardens.
