The Flo^ver Garden Cultivated by the Iiadies. 



A neat Flower garden in front of the farm house, 

 3 pioof that the farmer's wife and doughters are in- 

 kistrious and refined. It is proof that the work with- 

 n doors is well performed: for it is never the case that 

 ;isorder and thriftlessnesa reside within, while the 

 ;arden— tended by female hands — is neat and flour- 

 shing. Thia out-door labor gives bloom to the cheeks, 

 igor to the whole frame, cheerfulness to the disposi- 

 ion, and general efficiency. 



Fair and gentle woman is never in a better school 

 Iran when busying her fingers and twining her affec- 

 lons around the iair daughters of Flora. There she 

 lingles with beauties whose tongues never utter en- 

 y or malfce, and whose ears are deaf to every idle or 

 inful word. There the lovely and innocent speak to 

 .erof the more lovely and innocent One who deline- 

 tes their graceful forms and paints their rich and va- 

 ied colors. Purer, richer, better, are the teachings of 

 he shooting blade and opening flower, than come 

 rom the musings of a listless mind, the pages of ro- 

 lance, or the gossip of corrupted society. The seeds 

 f health, and purity, are in the soil on which the 

 ink and primrose grow, and those who labor to pro- 

 ure the fragrance of the latter, will laste the delicious 

 ruit which the former bear. 



Fear not, ye busy wives and daughters, that the 

 are of a small flower garden will be a burthen, ren- 

 ering more arduous the labors of the kitchen, the 

 airy room and the needb. For the invigorating ex- 

 alations of the freshly turned soil, the draughts ol 

 ure osygen which will be found among your plants 

 ?hen the warm sun is expanding their foliage, the 

 ariety of exercise which the garden gives to body and 

 lind, together with the pleasure derived from the 

 ■eaaty and fragrance of your flowers, will furnish 

 lore strength than the lobors of the garden will ex-

Ijelsuvc Days. 



By these we mean days in which the care of the 

 rop does not require attention — days when the farmer 

 an look about him and turn his hand to some odd 

 jb. Usually there are several such doys in June, and 

 he manner they ore spent is no small miment. 



Of course it is not in our power to toil you what is 

 o be done on your particular place — for on one farm a 

 iew rods of stone fence is to be built; on another an 

 inderdrain is to be completed; on a third the ditches 

 equire attention, &c. itc. Butat these times keep a 

 ihnrp look out for manure making. The swine must 

 lave frequent supplies of the raw material, and leaves, 

 ')U, muck, &,c. must be deposited near the hog yard 

 tplB, 60 that in the busy days of haying, something 

 My ba thrown in, and your hogs not left without 

 Wsna of doing their proper work. These days for 

 'hite washing, fur cleaoing up around lUe house and 



barn, for seasonable repairs, and tho like, are among 

 the most profitable of the season. We class them un- 

 der the head of leisure days, but they should be far 

 from days of idleness: more of the profits of husband- 

 ry is obtained from the good judgment and perseve- 

 rance with which improvements and plans are execu- 

 ted; (wo mean the gradual implements which the good 

 farmer will have an eye to, and will carry on at times 

 when tho cost will be but little) — more of the real pro- 

 fits of farming turns upon these than upon the ordina- 

 ry crops of the fnrm. Where soil and manure are 

 alike, one man can obtain as good a crop as another, 

 or nearly so; the skill required is not so much that 

 of planting and hoeing, as of increasing the manure 

 heap, increasing the depth of the soil; protecting the 

 dry lands from drought, and draining those that are 

 too wet; the mixing of soils and suiting the manures 

 to tho soils and crops to which they are applied. Tliese 

 are the important iriatters; and many of them deserve 

 attention at this EcasLiu of the year. — 11/. 



What should Parents do AVlth their Boys ! 



Many parents have sons, whom, when they arrive 

 at years • f discretion, they are uncertain what to do 

 with. For instonce, a respectable mechanic has a 

 good, stout, hearty, well disposed son, whom ho wish- 

 es to bring up respectably. If be is in easy circum- 

 stances, he some how or other seems to think that his 

 son must be brought up to some higher business than 

 a mechanic. He therefore concludes that he must 

 send him to college, and make him a lawyer, a doc- 

 tor, or a clergyman, and the honest well meaning pa- 

 rent labors hard to earn money to pay the expenses of 

 a collegiate education, for the purpose of making him 

 respectable, to make him take a higher rank in the 

 world than that of a mechanic. Here is a great mis- 

 take. When the bo/ leaves college, what is he to do 1 

 He is then just qualified for nothing. He turns peda- 

 gogue for awhile. He beats learning into the youth- 

 ful progeny; but few, very few, think of pursuing 

 the business of a school master as a permanent pro- 

 fession. After continuing it forayear or two, hequits 

 it, and commences the study of one of the learned 

 professions. Here are three or four years spent in 

 preparing to become a professional man, and at much 

 additional expense to his father. He at last le admit- 

 ted to the bar, or receives a degree of M. D., or is li- 

 censed to preach. The next thing is to get a living 

 by the profession he has chosen, and this is not so ea- 

 sy a matter. All the learned professions are full to 

 overflowing, and there seems to be no room for new 

 beginners. The consequence is, that the young as- 

 pirant for eminence, drags along, without getting bu- 

 siness enough to i)ay the rent of an office. Year after 

 year he toils, or would toil, if he had any thing to do, 

 without making half enough to pay his own expenses. 

 To be sure, there are some, whose superior intellect 

 and commanding talents will enable them to rise at 

 once to eminence, and to cuiamand a business which 

 will render them independent; but these cases are few 

 and far between. 



When such do occur, the superiority of menial 

 power will shine out beforehand, and should be fos- 

 tered. But the propensity which some mechanics 

 have of bringing their sons up at college to make them 

 more respectable, we think to be a great error. It m 

 injuring a son more than it is benefitting him, unless 

 some extraordinary mental energy displays itself in 

 the youth. He goes through college, and thence, 



'* Proceediag eonn a graduatetl duacc," 



he is just fitted for — whati He has spent the best 

 part of his youthful days, in qualifying himself for a 

 profession from which he cannot goin a living, or at 

 least a very scanty one. 



In our humble opinion, as the professions now are, 

 w? should say to mechanics, and indeed to profession- 

 al me4i, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, give 

 your sons a good education, and then put them as ap- 

 prentices to some respectable mechanical business. 

 They will then as scon as their time of apprcnticoship 

 Is expired, be independent, capable of earning an hon- 

 est living at once. The profession of a mechanic is 

 daily becoming more and more respectable, thanks to 

 the good sense and good judgment of the present oge, 

 and it can no longer be thrown out oe a mark of re- 

 proadi, you are a mechanic, or the son of a mechanic. 

 It is on the contrary on honor. 



As the question has been recently discussed among 

 a fev/ inechanics, what they ehotflddov/ith their eons, 

 we woidd repeat, give them a good education and then 

 bring them up as mechanics or farniora, if you wish to ' 

 ensure them a comfortable, honorobia, and independ^ 

 friX living and elation in f-ociety.— B(i»<oit Tratlcript. 



A Gkji. — " Carbonic acid, water, and ammonia, 

 contain the elements necessary for the support of ani- 

 nnils and vegetables. The same substance are the ul- 

 timote products of tho chemical processes of decoy and 

 pulrefaction. All the innumerable products of vitali- 

 ty resume, after death, the original form from which 

 they sprung. And thus death — the complete dissolu- 

 tion ol an existing generation — becomes the source of 

 life for a new one." — Liebig. 



Culture of Buckwlieat. 



Dry light land is most suitable for buckwheat; but 

 when that has been swarded for a number of years 

 and then ploughed but once, a great crop cannot be 

 expected. Something may be obtained thia yeor and 

 a greater harvest will follow in the second year. Any 

 ground that bore beans, potatoes, or corn last year, 

 and for which you have no manure to spare this secson 

 will yield a good harvest. We sow the seed from the 

 twenty-fifth of June to the (ounh of July — sometimes 

 the earliest sown produces best and sometimes the 

 latest sown — it depends on the season, which no one 

 can foretell. A neighbor of ours, Mr. E. Freeman, 

 keeps one of his lightest fields on purpose for buck- 

 wheat. In the spring he sows rye on the field, and in 

 the last part of June he ploughs in his rye with his 

 horse plough and sows his buckwheat on the furrow. 

 By this practito he ia bringing a thin soil gradually to 

 fertility at trifling expense. He took ofTafino^rop 

 of buckwheat lost season, and he uses the straw for 

 fodder for his cattle. — Boston Cultlrator.

Go Forth into the Fields. 



Go fortli Into the flclils. 

 Ye denizens of the pent city's mart; 

 Go forth, and know the gladness nature yields 



To the care-wearied heart. 



Leave ye the feverish strife, 

 Tho jostling, eager, sclf-devoteJ throngi 

 Ten thousand voices, waked anew to Ufc, 



Cull you with sweetest song. 



Hark ! from each fresh-clad hough. 

 Or blissful soaring in the golden air, 

 Bright birds with joyous music, bid you iioiv 



To spring's loved haunts repair. 



The silvery gleaming rllls. 

 Lure with soft murmurs from the grassy Icaj 

 Or gaily dancing down the sunny hills, 



Call loudly in their glee .' 



And the young wnnion breeze. 

 With breath all odours from her blossoiny chase, 

 Id voice low whispering, 'inong the embowering trees, 



WooH you to her embrace. 



Go breathe tho air of heaven, 

 Where violets meekly s.nilc upon your way ; 

 Or on some pine-orown'd aumniit, tempest driven. 



Your wandering footstepn etriiy. 



Sect ye the solemn wood. 

 Whoso giant trunks a verdant roof uprear. 

 And listen, while the roar of some far flood 



Thrills the young leaves with fear ! 



Stand by the tranquil lake, 

 Sleeping 'mid willowy banks of emerald dr}'. 

 Save when the wild bird's wings its suiface break, 



Chequering the mirror'ii sky — 



And if within your breast, 

 Hallow'd by nature's touch, one chord remnin ; 

 If a'iglitsttve worldly honors find you blest, 



Or hope of solid gain — 



A strange delight shall thrill, 

 A quiet joy brood o'er you like a dove ; 

 Knrth's placid beauty shall your bosom All, 



Stirring its depths with love. 



Oh, in the calm still hours, 

 The holy Sabbath hours, when sleeps the air, 

 And lieaven and earth deck'd wiUi her beauteous flowers, 



Lie hush'd in breathless prayer. 



Pass ye the proud fane by.
