THE WILD COLUMBINE. 
This is ono of the most beautiful of our 
native plants, is exceedingly easy of culti¬ 
vation, and for tho delicate tints of its flow- 
ors and foliage, greatly rivals its sister of 
tho gardens. It is found in most of the 
States, preferring a dry soil, and especially 
does it love a home among the rocks, though 
it does not show that luxuriance of growth, 
which is seen in a more fertile locality, yet 
it gives a fairy grace to tho frowning sides of 
tho cliff; for if there bo a deposit of detri¬ 
tus, however scanty, it springs out, magic 
liko, and waves its rich blossoms to tho em¬ 
brace of the bee and butterfly. 
Its utilitarian properties are few, if any, 
yot, for its beauty alone, it ought to bo 
more highly valued. Inspect it as you will, 
it must bo admired. Its nicely lobed ter¬ 
mite leaves, its gently drobping flowers with 
their five incurved spurs, tho petals so 
brightly red without, and palish yellow with¬ 
in, tho bright, golden column of exsertod 
stamens surrounding the hvo curious folli¬ 
cles each with its long stylo, all mark tho 
flower and plant as one that intuitively 
challenges our admiration. It grows branch¬ 
ing, fom ono to two feet in height, and 
even higher in very rich soil, and flowers 
in May and June. 
It is found in tho Polyandria Pentagynia 
of tho Linneau system, and tho natural or¬ 
der Ranunculacea of late authors—an order 
quite rcmarkablo for its many ornamontal 
plants. Its generic name is Aquilcgia, so 
named from tho eagle whoso talons its in¬ 
verted spurs are supposed to resemble. Its 
specific name is Canadensis. t. e. w. 
BUDDING OR INOCULATING. 
THE LIMA BEAN- 
Nota Bene .—There is not a bean of any 
kind, equal for summer use, to this dolicious 
variety, and no ono who lias succeeded in 
raising them will forego their cultivation 
as long as he has a garden-spot as largo as 
abed-blanket. Nicely boiled and buttered, 
they melt in tho mouth almost, and we won¬ 
der very much that they aro not more gen¬ 
erally cultivated. 
Tho Lima Bean is a tropical plant, and 
henco requires peculiar treatment. When 
once they commence growing, tlioy koop on 
until frost comes, and will climb a ten-foot 
polo and look ovor tho top if you will lot 
them, and the season is long onough. In 
this case there will bo far more vines than 
beans, and we havo found it tho best courso 
to head them back when they have reached 
a height of ftvo or six feet, and keep them 
pruned down to reasonable dimensions. In 
this way we have secured a good supply 
from a few hills, and by leaving the earliest 
specimens to ripen for seed, have raised 
them with propor care, without particular 
difficulty. 
CHARLES DICKENS ON GARDENING. 
Mu. Dickens discoursed very eloqueutly 
upon flowers and all that pertains thereto, 
at tho ninth anniversary of Gardener’s ltoy- 
al Benevolent Institution, held on Monday, 
at tho London Tavern. Gardening, ho said, 
was invariably connected with peace and 
happiness: 
“ Gardens aro associated in our minds 
with all countries, and all degrees of men, 
and with all periods of time. Wo know that 
painters, and sculptors, and statesmen, and 
men of war, and men who have agreed in 
nothing olso, havo agreed, in all ages, to do- 
light in gardens. We know that the most 
ancient people of tho earth had gardens; 
and that whore nothing but heaps of sand 
aro now found, and arid dosolation now 
smiles, gardens onco smiled, and the gorge¬ 
ous blossoms of tho East shed their fra¬ 
grance on races which would have been 
long ago forgotten, but for tho ruined tem¬ 
ples which, in those distant ages, stood in 
their gardens. Wo know that the ancients 
wore crowns of flowers ; and the laurels 
and tho bays havo stimulated many a noblo 
heart to deeds of horoism and virtue. Wo 
know that, in China, hundreds of acres of 
gardens float about tho rivers, and, indeed, 
in all countries, gardening is tho favorite 
recreation of the people. 
In this country its lovo is deeply implant 
ed in the breasts of everybody. Wo see 
the weaver striving for a pigmy garden on 
his houso top—wo see tho poor man wrest¬ 
ing with his smoko for his little bower of 
scarlet runners—we know how very many 
who havo no scrap of land to call their own, 
and will never, until tlioy lie their length in 
the ground, and have passod forever the 
portals of life, still cultivate their favorite 
flowers or shrubs in jugs, bottlos, and ba¬ 
sins, wo know that in factories and work¬ 
shops we may find plants—and I havo soon 
the poor prisoner, condemned to linger out 
year after year within tho narrow limits of 
liis place of confinement, gardening in his 
cell. Of tho exponents of a language so 
universal—of tho pationt followers of na¬ 
ture in their efforts to produeo the finest 
forms anti the richest colors of her most 
lovely creations, which wo onjo'y alike at all 
times of life, and which, whether on the bo 
soin of beauty or the breast of old ago, aro 
alike beautiful—surely it is not too much 
to say that such men havo a hold upon our 
remembrance when they themselves need 
oorafort.” 
ROBBING FRUIT TREES. 
The season has now arrived for budding 
or inoculating fruit trees, and we wish to call 
tho attention of those who wish to improve 
their time in this way to tho fact. 
Budding may bo considered to consist in 
planting a bud taken from one branch or 
tree into tho bark of another treo. In or¬ 
der to do this successfully, you want, in tho 
first place, a good, healthy, thrifty stalk to 
plant into, and in the next place, a fully de¬ 
veloped healthy bud to plant, and in tho 
next placo, this bud should bo so prepared 
as to fit exactly into the placo prepared for 
it, so that tho minute vessels of tho ono shall 
match with those of the othor, and thus by 
tho union of sap form a permanent union of 
ivood. 
As a general rulo, you can begin to bud 
trees as soon as tho bark slips easily, and 
tho buds to bo set aro fully developed. Of 
courso somo kinds of fruits, such as cher¬ 
ries, plums, and such liko, will require ear¬ 
lier setting than pears, apples and fruits of 
that nature. 
Any mode by which you fit tho bud, after 
it has been prepared, into tho bark of tho 
stalk, may bo adopted, but tho usual mode 
is to cut into the stalk with a thin, sharp 
knifo, through the bark* in the form of a T 
and turn tho corners of the flaps of the cut 
a little up and outwards, by inserting a thin 
blado of wood or ivory under the bark. This 
should bo done easily, and without ruptur¬ 
ing or disturbing tho alburnum, or. as somo 
call it tho sliver, of tho wood. You then 
find a good, healthy bud at tho foot of a 
leaf; cut off tho leaf, leaving a portion of 
the stem; and with your knife, made very 
sharp, cut off the bud by inserting tho knife, 
say half an inch abovo it, and with a smooth 
cut downwards separate it from tho branch, 
with a portion of the bark and wood attach¬ 
ed to it, say an inch in length. The wood 
taken off with tho bark will bo a thin slice, 
and if it bo loose may be removed by lifting 
it with tho point of the knifo. In doing 
this care must be taken not to pull off’ tho 
roots or little protuberances of the bud, 
which aro essential to its union with tho 
top. Having done this, cut off tho top of 
tho bark square across, lift up tho bark of 
the T cut in the stalk, and insert the bud 
under it, having the square cut of the bark 
match snugly with the top of tho T cut in 
the stalk. 
Press tho flaps down, and wind around 
carefully, both abovo and below the bud, 
some cotton wicking, woolen yarn, basswood 
bark, or something of tho kind, that shall 
keep tho whole in its place. Don’t bruiso 
or batter any cf tho parts to bo united nor 
suffer them to become dry. 
If the bud looks green and plump in a 
fortnight after it has been inserted, it is a 
sign that it has taken root and will live ; if 
it looks dry and shriveled it is a failure. In 
threo or four weeks, the bandage may bo 
removed to prevent its becoming too tight 
by the growth of tho stalk, and thus girdling 
tho treo. 
After tho bud throws out its branch, tho 
following spring, cut off the stalk two or 
throe inches above it, and if it does not grow 
up straight, it may be tied up to the stalk 
loosely, to direct its growth upward, and 
after it has fairly got under way, say in mid¬ 
summer, the stalk may be cut down close to 
the bud, and tho wound will soon be cover 
od over by young, healthy bark, and a per 
feet union of tho bud and stalk bo completed. 
Maine Farmer. 
We had a neat dwarf apple ti*ee, only 
about a yard high, in out* garden, and which 
wo had cultivated with care, and on which 
we had seen tho fruit blossoms in their beau¬ 
ty and promise, and tho fruit had formed 
and grown until tho apples wero over an 
inch in diameter. There were not many of 
them—scarcely a dozen, but they wero of 
interest to us above that of a bushel grown 
in orchards and we had hoped to gather them 
carefully in the early harvest, and share 
their richness with our friends and little 
ones, but a boy crept into our enclosure 
and plucked these green, and to him, worth¬ 
less apples, and carried them off'. 
Tho loss is small, but tho crime is great; 
rather we should say would bo great had 
not tho boy grown up without that instruc¬ 
tion which teaches tho rights of persons and 
proporty. He might have been so educated 
that those apples would havo offered to him 
no manner of temptation. lie might have 
been so taught, naturally and easily, that 
he would not mar or destroy tho most beau¬ 
tiful production of nature or art, however 
much exposed. 
Wo know a whole school of children who 
during the season havo been allowed to run 
about in a garden of flowers and fruits with¬ 
out as much as touching, except in one in¬ 
stance, a single gooseberry. In that case a 
child was alone in the garden, and thought 
no eye could seo her, and she plucked a sin¬ 
gle berry. 
“There is one eye that always sees,” 
kindly spoko tho teacher, through tho win¬ 
dow blind. It was enough, tho little girl 
an homo to her mother and told her in 
tears that she had done wrong, and God had 
seen her !—Bangor Whig. 
THE BLACKBERRY. 
In New England they aro making a great 
deal of tho blackberry, which bids fair to 
tako a high rank among tho smaller fruits. 
Ilovcy’s Magazine, in treating of this sub 
ject, says: 
“Sinco tho introduction of the improved 
variety, about six or seven years ago—of 
which we have heretofore given several ac¬ 
counts, and whoso cultivation has been so 
well detailed in our last volume, by Capt. 
Lovett, of Beverly, who has been ono of tho 
most successful growers of the fruit—it has 
been very generally disseminated; and the 
past year, many remarkably fine specimens 
were exhibited boforo the Massachusetts 
Horticultural Society. 
“Tho liberal premiums offered for this 
fruit by the Society, have had the good ef¬ 
fect of producing vory general competition; 
and so superior have been some of these 
specimens—so much larger than when first 
exhibited, evidently showing what care and 
attention will do for this as well as other 
fruits—that tho Society havo deomod it ad 
visable to offer a high prize for a soedling, 
with the hope of still further improvement; 
for, although what few attempts have been 
mado in this way havo not boon attended 
with vory favorablo results, there is still 
good reason to boliovo that it will yield to 
tho ameliorating influences of cultivation 
as well as tho strawberry, the goosborry, or 
tho raspberry.” 
P. B. Caiioon, of Kenosha, Wis., has raised 
a specimen of pio-plant, the leaf of ono of 
the stalks of which measures throo feet and 
one inch across by three foot long, exclusive 
of tho stem, which is thirteen inches long 
by soven inches in circumforenco. Anothor 
stem was about ono and a half feet long by 
six inches in circumforenco. 
Pruning Evergreens. —In pruning ovor- 
greon troos, tho lowest brandies should in 
all cases, bo tho longest, whatever tho shape 
of tho head may bo. This stylo of clipping 
or pruning is in accordance with tho natu 
ral growth and habit of nearly all ovorgreons, 
and produces that beautiful park-like ap 
poaranco, so much admired in English land 
scape gardening, where tho lowest branchos 
soom to spring directly from a continuation 
of tho grassy lawns of crisp and closo sha 
von verdure .—Soxithern Cultivator.

STEWED VEGETABLES. 
The following recipes for cooking vege¬ 
tables we find in tho “ Cooks Own Book” 
Stewed Carrots. —Scrape and wash your 
carrots. Scald them in boiling water ; then 
drain them and cut them into long slips. 
Stow them in milk or cream, with a little 
salt, popper and chopped parsley. When 
dono tako them out, stit into tho sauco the 
yolks of ono or two eggs, and a little sugar 
and pour it over tho carrots. 
Stewed Beets. —Boil somo boots. Then 
peel and cut them into slices. Stew them 
tor a quarter of an hour with a pieco of but¬ 
ter rolled in flour, somo onion and parsley 
chopped fino, a little vinegar, salt and pop- 
per, and a clove or garlic. 
Stewed Cabbage. —Having washed your 
cabbage, cut it in four, and throw it into 
boiling water with somo salt. When it has 
boiled quite tender, take it up, squeozo out 
tho water, and put the cabbage to drain.— 
Then lay it in a stew-pan, with butter, salt, 
popper, a spoonful of flour, and half a pint 
of cream. Stew it a quarter of an hour, 
and pour tho sauce ovor it when you soiulit 
to the tablo. 
Cauliflowers may bo stowod in tho samo 
manner. 
Stewed Beans. —Put into a stew-pan 
some parsloy and small onions chopped fino 
and a largo pieco of butter rolled in flour 
Add a little water. Stir all together, and 
put in as many beans as will fill a quart 
measure when strung and cut small; having 
first soaked them a quarter of an hour in 
cold water. Lot them stew gently on hot 
coals till quite tender. Just before you 
servo them up, stir in the yolks of two 
eggs-_ 
To Make Mosquitoes Leave. — Tie a 
piece of flannel or sponge to a thread made 
fast to tho top of tho bedstead: wot the 
flannel or spongo with camphorated spirits 
and the mosquitoos will leave tho room. 
Avarice starvos its keopor, to surfoit 
thoso who wish him doad. 
Garrettson Smith, Henry Brown, and Julius 
Holzer, of Philadelphia, l’a., assignors to North, 
Harrison and Chase, of the same place, for design 
for a cooking stove. 
THE STATIC PRESSURE ENGINE. 
If you set any value on health, and have 
_ mind to preserve nature, you must not 
separate the finest from tho coarsest'flour, j Y -^^ a 
because that which is fino is naturally of an 
obstructive and stopping quality; but on 
tho contrary, tho other, which is coarse, is 
of a cleansing and opening nature; there¬ 
fore, that bread is best which is mado of 
both together; for in the inward bran and 
skin of tho wheat, is contained a quality 
which is of a sweet, friendly nature, by rea¬ 
son whereof, tho bi*ead which is made of fino 
and coarse together, will not only bo sweet¬ 
er, and keep longer moist, but is also more 
wholcsomo and easier of digestion, gently 
loosening the bowels; it will strengthen also 
moro than the other bread mado of fino 
bolted flour. It must bo confessed that the 
nutritive quality is contained in the fino 
flour; yet in tho bran is contained tho open¬ 
ing and digestive quality, and thero is as 
great necessity of tho one as tho other, for 
tho support of health ; for whon tho finest 
flour is separated from tho coarsest and 
branny parts, neither tho ono nor the other 
have tho true operations of tho flour of 
wheat. 
By what has been said, wo may gather 
that tho eating of fino bread is inimical to 
health, and contrary both to nature and rea¬ 
son, and was first invented to gratify wan¬ 
ton and luxurious persons who are ignorant 
both of themselves and tho true virtue and 
efficacy of natural things. j. s. g. 
Hanover, Pa., 1852. 
Messrs. Editors :—Noticing several arti¬ 
cles in tho Rural, of lato, on tho “ Static 
Pressure Engino,” I am tempted to offer a 
few thoughts npon tho samo subject. 
Everything in nature may be reduced to 
two clemonts, viz., matter and force. Every 
one of the countless changes and multifa 
rious operations that are constantly going 
on around us, is tho product of these two 
elements. Separate and independent, they 
wero created, and such they remain. The 
assertion that “ matter can produce force, 
or “force produeo matter,” are in direct 
contradiction to the iminutablo and eternal 
laws of tho universe. 
Theso statements will not be denied by 
any one possessing any very great know! 
edge of the laws of mechanics,—let us then 
apply them to the principle of the Static 
Prossuro Engino. 
A cortain amount of force is applied to a 
wheel which is revolving around its own 
centre. Can that force increase itself ? No. 
For there is no ovidenco to show that force 
is self-creative. Can tho matter of which 
that wheel is composed, without change of 
form in itself, increase tho forco impressed 
upon it ? No. For matter never creatos 
force. Thon what becomes of tho “ Static 
Pressure Engino ?” So far as relates to pro¬ 
ducing forco it is nowhere. Its power may 
bo estimated thus:—A certain force is ap¬ 
plied to a wheel: tho centrifugal force of 
tho wheel is then applied, to keep up tho 
motion. It will bo sufficient to do it minus 
tho friction of tho machinery ; tho friction 
will operate as a drag until it has by accu¬ 
mulation equalled tho forco first impressed 
on the wheel, when tho engine will stop and 
wait for the inventors to give it another 
start. » 
Let us tako another view of tho subject. 
Tho wheel being in motion, tho centrifugal 
forco to bo applied to keep up tho motion 
of tho wheel, must bo communicated from 
the wheel to something else, or in other 
words, it must act on something. Thon, 
“ action and ro-action being equal and in 
opposito directions,” how is the motion of 
tho wheel to continue ? Just so much as 
this something, (lovor wo will call it,) upon 
which the wheel acts is forced forward, just 
so much will tho wheel bo retarded. Tho 
force which tho lover can exert upon tho 
wheel, has imparted to it. The result is 
then, that tho wheel is crowded one way by 
tho force of the lovor, and retarded by tho 
same forco, leaving tho wheel in equlibrium 
so far as these forces aro concerned, and 
moving by virtuo of the first impulse.— 
When the friction has overcome that, the 
wheol stops as before. 
It would soern that thoso possessing the 
slightest knowledge of tho laws of mechan¬ 
ics, would nevor havo boon gullod by so 
palpable an orror as this. It is true, strange 
inventions aro ovory day brought forth, 
some too, that to many appear as improba¬ 
ble as the ono hero set forth. Yet, to tho 
^ * 1 initiated, thoro is a vast difference. Tako 
for example tho steam engino. Our ances¬ 
tors, centuries upon centuries ago, wero 
doubtless familiar with phenomena without 
number, which should have taught every 
thinking mind, that a machine akin to the 
steam engino was not impossible. The ex¬ 
pansive power of steam, as exemplified in lift¬ 
ing the cover of a boiling pot, was perfectly 
understood by millions, who scouted at tho 
idea of a machine to go by fire and water. 
So of tho telegraph. The terrific power of 
the lightning stroke, and tho silent, harm¬ 
less, but no less cortain and curious powor 
of tho magnet, should havo taught that, 
could they but bo controlled, something 
could be dono with them. 
Those, however, aro altogether different 
from tho case in question. Here tho forces 
existed; thero was nothing to do but to con, 
trol them. But whon it comes to creating 
force, man is trenching on the attributes of 
tho Almighty, and our reason should teach 
us that all such attempts can but recoil on 
our o^n heads. 
This principle of tho “ Static Pressure 
Engine,” has not even the benefit of novelty 
to recommend it. Tho whole principle was 
called up in tho invention of the fly wheel 
moro than a contury ago. Tho principle 
was embodied in tho following assertion :— 
“Ally wheel increases force.” A very fa- 
vorito maxim with tho mechanical philoso¬ 
phers of England and tho Continent, moro 
than a century since. Accurato experiments 
however, soon showed it to be incorrect.— 
This fallacy doubtless arose from tho fact, 
that a heavy wheel gathers and retains with 
only a trifling loss, all tho foce that may bo 
imparted to it. The amount of forco that 
will be thus accumulated in a very short 
time, by the steady exertion of a small forco 
is perfectly astounding. 
Suppose a man to exert upon the crank 
of a fly wheel, a force oqual to that of twenty 
pounds, moving at tho rate of ten feet per 
second. This will bo equal to two hundred 
pounds at the rate of one foot in a second, 
or it is sufficient to propel an onco ball at 
the rate of threo thousand two hundred foet 
in a second, which is ono thousand two hun¬ 
dred feet faster than a ball was over thrown 
by the expansivo forco of powder. With 
theso few remarks, allow mo to subscribe 
mysolf, II. II. Ingalsbe. 
South Hartford, N. Y., July 29, 1852. 
A Submarine Rocket. —A mechanic of 
Charlestown, Mr. W. O. Stone, has invent¬ 
ed what he calls a submarine rocket, or an 
infernal machine, for blowing up vessels of 
war. The rocket is made on the same gen¬ 
eral plan of a common air rocket. It has a 
weight attached for sinking it, and a float to 
buoy it up. A fuseo is placed in the ex¬ 
tremity of tho rocket, by means of which it 
is driven through the water, as the common 
rocket is through the air. The head of tho 
rocket is furnished with a supply of gun¬ 
powder, in the centre of which is a bottlo 
of sulphuric acid, and a quantity of chlorate 
of potassa and loaf sugar, to explode tho 
powder when it strikes the bottom of an 
enemy’s ship. Tho inventor has made nu¬ 
merous and satisfactory experiments on a 
small scale, and now asks some public spir¬ 
ited individuals to furnish him with the 
means to make a more full experiment on a 
larger scale. 
Improvement in Shingle Machines.— 
Simon Ingersoll, of New Yoi*k city, has ta¬ 
ken measures to securo a patent for an im¬ 
provement in shinglo macninos. The-shin- 
gles are cut from tho block, and they receive 
the requisite bevel at ono operation. Thero 
is a frame which has a rectilinear motion, 
and has a knife on its upper board which 
cuts or splits a strip from tho under surfaco 
of the block ; the said strip, after being cut 
from the block, is thrown by moans of a 
clasp acted upon by a spring, on the lower 
board of tho frame; it then passes under a 
stationary cutter which gives tho aforesaid 
strip tho required bevel, forming it into a 
shingle .—Scientific American. 
New Marble Quarry. —Tho Poughkeep¬ 
sie Eagle chronicles the discovery of a Mar¬ 
ble Quarry in tho neighborhood of that town. 
Tho marble is of four qualities, the first 
black with an Egyptian yellow and white 
vein; tho second dark blue, with light blue 
veins and clouds; tho third pink; and the 
fourth black without veins, constituting tho 
principal part. Although none of it has 
been properly wrought, it has been found to 
tako as handsome a polish and be suscepti¬ 
ble of as fine a finish as the best Irish mar¬ 
ble. The quarry has boon tested at different 
points, and there is no room left for doubt 
that it is very extonsivo, and probably inox- 
haustiblo. 
Mr. Geo. Little, electro telograpli en¬ 
gineer, announces in the New York Sun, 
that ho has invented an instrument by which 
tho uso of tho Voltaic Battery will bo dis¬ 
pensed with for telegraph purposes. 
A new threshing machine is said to havo 
been invontod by a Mr. Palmer of North 
Carolina, which, with four men to feed it, 
will take a hundred cart loads of wheat in 
tho morning, lying in the sheaf, pass it 
through tho thresher, soparato every kernel 
from the straw, winnow, clean and put into 
bags, 1,500 bushels beforo sunset. 
Did universal charity prevail, earth would 
bo a heaven, and hell a fable.
