gering and painful death of starvation He sat down
and gave vent to his anguish in flood of tears He
finally concluded to make attempt to get out he
could but share the fate of his companion by falling
into pit and this would sooner put end to his
mental sufierngs He commenced what he conceiv-
ed to be retrograde movement, by crawling upon
his hands and knees and proceeded without accident
long time, when he again yielded himself up to des-
pair. A copious ehilson of tears subdued in mea-
sure his agony He set out again but with little
hope of ever arriving at the mouth of the cave-he
continued cropping about in midnight darkness whole
day longer When they entered the cave, the suryi-
yor noticed that it branched off in various directions
he therefore concluded that he had taken the wrong
way and was probably far or farther from the
trance than when he first started. He halted-and
with the determination of waiting patiently the APP
proach of death. Like the drowning man, who is
said to catch at straw the possibility of escape again
occurred to him; and summoning his remaining
strength made another effort to find outlet to the
cavern. On the morning of the third day, when
ture and hope were nearly exhausted he thought he
observed ray of light; and on suddenly turning
corner, the morning star shone full in his face. His
feelings. he said, must be imagined, for they could
not be described He Immediately make known the
melancholy fate of his companicn-a number of citi-
zens commenced search in the cave; found the pit,
and with some difficulty obtained the body, and had it
decently inferred. ID. A. L.

FATAL CURIOSITY.

A melancholy story was related to me few years
SINCE while travelling in the western section of our
country, Of man who in company with friend, at
tempted to explore the celebrated Mammoth Cave, IN
Green County, Kentucky, which is about ten miles in
length. After having provided themselves with Ian
term food and other refreshments, sufficient for one
or two days subsistence, they commenced their sub
terranean tour. As they proceeded from one apart
ment to another, viewing with astonshmen the won
des of this stupendous cavern they frequently came
TO large and apparently very deep pits, which they
avoided with much difficulty by crawling upon their
hands and knees They wandered about, alternately
walking and crawling, nearly whole day, during
which they had passed a number of these deep pits
They had Just approached one, when, by some fatal
accident, the light which they carried was suddenly
exinguished. The one who carried the apparatus for
restoring the light, in the agitation of the moment,
made nisstep, excaiming, i" Lord have mercy upon
u.s., and fell headlong into the pit they had the mo-
ment before discovered. His companion listened,
and distinctly heard the unfortunate man strike the
bottom. and fetch deep groan like one in extreme
anguish. He called on him, but receivd no answer
he called again, but all was silent as the tomb. The
narrator stated that had he but fallen with him it would
have been happy circumstance; for to attempt to
lind the mouth of the cave, and pass the MANY dan
gerous places they had met with in their way thther,
would be immineHtly hazardous if not utterly impos-

KITCHEN GARDENING.

As every farmer is interested in the best method of
cutivating common kitchen garden, have collect
ed as much information on that subject as my means
could furnish. found that many farmers are in the
habit of purchasing seeds from the people denomina
ted Shakers; and imagined that an account of the
Shakers method of cutvatng the most useful plants
of the kitchen garden, would be very acceptable. In
the annexed directions | have embraced course of
operations which received from Richard Treat the
oldest gardener at the Shaker village in NewLeban
on, Columbia County, N. Y.
Lettuce-It should be sowed as early as it can be
raked into the ground, for it cannot be injured by
early frosts. DIR. Hammond sows bed for early
lettuce late in the preceding fall. 1t ought to be
sowed in rows sixteen inches apart between vacant
rows intended for some other plant For as the let
tuce will soon be pulled out other rows of later veg
etabes may occupy the whole bed.
Radishes-Should be sowed in drills, eight inches
apart, the last week in March. The beds should be
made of horse manure fresh from the stables, well
mulched with good garden mould Often loosen the
soil about them while growing and keep the weeds
out.
Onions.-They should be sowed about the 9Sth of
Apr in drills sixteen inches apart, made very shall
low, not exceeding half an inch in DEPTH and raked
in lightly Iengtbwise of the drills. The beds having
been we'll worked with thoroughly rotted manure, at
least five inches deep, they will be up very uniformly
in about fourteen days.
Hoe them as soon as they just up, sufficiently to
be hoed carefully without injury Let them be hoed
six or seven times during the season. The tops will
fall about the 10th of August but they will continue
to grow until about the first week in September
They must not be pulled until the tops become dry
being biennial, onions never produce seed until the Sc
| cond year.
Onions should always be sowed on the same beds;
for experience has demonstrated that the crops be-
come better, after being raised In the same beds Tor
many years in succession.
Parsaips-They should be sowed about the 28th
of April; but DIR Gregory prefers the last week in

will admit of the earliest culture He says parsnips
become poisonous in damp ground. They should be
sowed In drills, 90 inches apart, and three fourts of
inch deep, and raked in lengthwse of the drills
The beds should be previously we'll worked and ma
nured and afterwards frequently hoed, which is all
the care required.
Beets and Carrots.-They should be sowed about
the 28th of April, in drills three-fourtfs of an inch
deep, and twenty inches apartT carrots in drills
but sixteen inches apart and half an inch deep, it is
about as well. The ground prepared and the seed
raked in as for onions.
Garden PeaS.-They should be planted about the
28th of April, in drills by pairs, six inches apart so
that one row of bushes may for the pair of drills
There should then be four feet Space from centre to
centre, between the pairs of drills The drills should
be half an inch Deep and the seed raked in length
wise of the drills
They should be hoed once, then pushed, and hoed
once after being pushed. From this time, merely
pull out the weeds.
Garden Beans.-Shoud be planted about the mid
die of May, half an inch Deep in rows. The rows
for bush beans should be three feet apart, with the
hills in two and half feet from each other.-
The for pole beans should be four feet apart and
the hills a three feet from each other.
They should be hoed three times before the flower
ing time but must never be hoed when wet with dew
rain.
Melons, Cucumbers and Squashes-They should
be planted about the middle of May; cucumbers for
picking may be planted the middle of June. The,
hills may be three four feet apart. The ground
should be as well prepared as for onions And they
must be hoed three times before time for vines to rum
Afterwards pull out the weeds.
In this part of the country situation should be Sc
lected for cucumbers which will be shaded from elev-
O'Clock in the forenoon until three O'Clock in the
afternoon; and where they are exposed to the sun
the rest of the day.
Cabbages.-They should be transpanted into the
beds where they to grow about the Goth of May
they having been sowed in small bed for plants about
month previous The ground ought to be well
mellowed and MANFRED, before they transplant
ed.
They should be hoed in the morning, when the dew
is on, once each week, until they begin to head.
They must not be pulled up, until there is danger
of their freezing too fast in the ground to be got up.
If there happens early snow, it will not njure
them. When they removed from the grader, they
should be set out again. in trench dug in the bottom
of cellar. If the cellar is pretty cool, it will be the
better.
