Node Of Caltivatiag Garden Vegetables.

Onion.-This nutricous and very useful root
should be cultivated on rich ground. In order ia
have them come to perfection, and grow large, at.
tention should be paid to the following observations
-fhe seed should be put into the ground as early
as the month Of March, or by the ooh Of April
The seed may be drilled in rows at least ID inches
apart but for the greater convenience Of lng let
lit be placed in hills or inches apart and or s
seeds to hill always observing to have the rows
at least as far distant from each other as above d.
rected-The ground should be kept from weeds,
especially while the plants are young and tender
Five or six Onions may grow together in this way,
without injury.
Parsnip.-Ths seed should be aown as early in
the spring as the ground will admit
Carrots Those which are intended for early
use, should be sown in March or April those for
fall and winter, should be sown in May or June
While growing they should not be allowed to stand
nearer than or inches. The root is superior to
beets for picking, and is excellent for mich cows
II IS found useful in many cases.
Beet.-This root is cultivated much in the same
way as carrots, and sown at the same time.

STANZAS.

Thy bloom is gone the deep blue light
That flashed from out that arching brow
More dimly shines,-beneath the blight
Of sickness fades thy beauty now;
And DER what once was fair and bright,
The tears from sorrows fountain flow.
Those eyes in thoughtful gaze reclined,
That cheeks pale hue, thy long dark hair,
Dishevelrd by the passing wind,
With more than speaking woe declare
How grief has chilled thy youthful mind,
How yields thy young hope to despair.
Yet Care has thrown such pleasing spells
In thy sad air-such power to move
Each sympathizing tear that dwells
On my wet lash can fondly prove,
Each breathing sigh with pity swes,
Till pity soften into love.
