they are removed from the garden, they should be set out again in trench dug in the bottom of a cellar. If the cellar is pretty cool, it will be better.
 Economy ina family.--Tbere is uo,h;lg which goes so far towards placing young people beyond the reach of poverty as { economy in the management of their do- nestle affairs. It is as much impossible to get along " without it, as 1t would he to gut ship across the Atlantic wi.h half dozen butts started, or as many bolt holes in her bottom. It matters not Whelhera man flr- nish little or much for his family, if there is continual leakage in the kitchen, or even in the barbour 1t runsaway he knows not how, and that demon sCdstt, cries for more, like the horse teaches daughter, until he that provides has none to give. It is the husband's $ duty to bring into the house and ! it Is the duty of the wife 10 see that noth- ing goes wrongfnlly out ofit---not the least article however nnimportant in itseli, for it establishes a precedent---por under any pretence, for it opens the door for ruin to stalk in, and he seldom leaves an opportu- nisy unimproved. A man gets wife to educate and prepare his children for a proper station in life, and snot to dissipate his property. The husbands interest should be the wife's care, and her greatest ambition carry her no farther than his well fare and happiness, together with that of her children. This should be her sole aim !; and the theatre of her exploits is in the bo- som of her family, where she may do as much, towards n,aking her fortune as he possibly can in tIle4 counting room or the work sliup. IL is not the money earned 1 that makes man wealthy; it is what is l saved from his earnings good and pru- dent husband makes deposit of the fruits of his labor with his best friend, and if that l friend be not true to him, what has he to hope ?---if he Lasnsnot place confidence in 1 the companion of his bosom, where is he to Eplace it? A wife acts not for herself only, bHt she is the agent of many she loves, and care nothing for the public applause, who has neither occasion or right to solicit it. T Her husbands good is the end at which she should aim, his appreciation is her reward Self qualification in dress, or indulgence in appetite, or more company than his Ipurse can well entertain, are equally perni- cious. The first adds vanity to extrava. gance---the second fastens a doctors bill tc long butchers account---and the latter brings incompetence, the worstaof all evil, in its train.
 There is also such thing as being over prudent in small matters, and over careless in large ones, that should be guarded against. Save not at the spigot while you waste at the bung. Let not sense of poverty pinch you up at one time, and the 1 idea of wealth make you extravagant at an- l other. These matters should be managed with steady and even hand; not as the business of a month or year, but through a 1 persons whole life. As poverty is always ready to come, so should it always be guarded against but in doing this let no one be so penurious as 10 make them mean. There is neither occasion for, nor reason in this :; but the one evil is nearly equal to the other; and if it does not make the husband bankrupt, lowers him in the es- timation of the public, and makes him what the wife would never wish to see in one she loves or respects. There is me- dium course to be pursued in order to se- cure domestic peace and permanent happi- ness.
 This advice is homely and unfashiona- ble, but it will wear and stand :l,e test ot time. when those who advocate different course of conduct, will be forgotten, or what is worse, detested. The giddy crowd which fiu,ters out its short period ofsum- mer, stands not the first frost which speaks the coming winter of diversity; and their painted wings which fan the summer air, keep out no cold---feed no families---give no bread to hungry chldren---light no fires to warm the benumbed fingers ofa mother. They will do for season, be admired for a brief space, be bowed to by the unthink- ing, and the foolish, and---die.
