THE SWUM GARDENS TOR THE ROYAL CHILDREN.
—Speaking of the Swim eating* and gardens at Osborne
allotted to the royal children, Mr. Morton, in his new erotic
on the royal farms, says :—" These are interesting for the
proof they give of the practical good sense which has guided
the education which the Prince thought neeseury r his
family ; for here essentially is a school at which, homely,
domestic, and most useful instruction is given and remind.
Every garden, oonsistiug of 'arena plots, °attains Bowers
tmeeem,
, lilies, pinks, kn.), sod, in separate beds, strew.
gooseberries, currants, and raspberries smug
fruits, and asparagus, artichokes, potatoes, turnips, nib.
beget of various sorts, onions, carrots, parsnips, let-
tuces, and other culinary vegetables. The cultivation
of all these plants has to be looked after ; and close by, in
the Swim Cottage, is a kitchen, where the vegetables
which have been grown by every little gardener may be
washed and cooked ; where cookery of other kinds is car-
ried on ; where, indeed, the apparatus exists for juvenile
entertainments, given by those who have thus themselves
carried out the whole process from the planting of the seed
or set, up to the preparation of its produce ..I food. It is
extremely interesting to see—in the orderly arrangement
of the tools, each one bearing its owner's name—
in the well•tilled plots—even in the arrangements
for practice and instruction in the kitchen, as well as in
the admirable collections illustrative of various branches of
natural history in the museum upstairs—proofs of that re-
gard for the systematic, the useful, and the practical which
the Prince Consort was known to possess. And still more
interesting is it to learn that not only are the immediate
ends contemplated in these things fully attained, but that
the family bond is strengthened, here se in humbler
instance, b every homely, family enioyment shined in
common. Ths Crown Princess of Prussia still retains her
little garden. and produce from it is sent each summer from
Osborne to Berlin."

evening, and was only attacked by the fatal diocese a short
time before his death. The melancholy event was am-
mooned to the rev. gentleman's coage.gation during the
service on Sunday morning, and produced a profound im-
pmesion. The rev. gentlemen, it will be remembered, bad

the death of the Rev. W. Macdonald, bat his ability as a
theologian, and his amiable conduct ma gentlemen had won
for him the most profound respect of the clergy and laity ie
