HORTICULTURE.-BY Mrs. SIGouRNEy.
If the admiration of the beautiful
things of nature has a tendency to soften
and refine the character, the culture of
them has a still more powerful and ohid.
ing influence. 1t takes the form of an
affection. The seed which we have sown,
the bud which We have nursed, the tree
Of our planting, and under whose shade
we sat with delight, are to US as living
and loving friends. In proportion to the
care we have bestowed on them, is the
warmth Of our regard. They are gentle
and persuasive teachers Of His goodness,
who causeth the sun. to shine, and dew to
disth, who forgets. not the tender buried
vine amid the SHOWS and ice Of winter, but
bringeth forth root long hidden from the
eye Of man, into vernal splendor, or au-
tumnal fruitage.
The learned among the works of ma
ture, are of peculiar value in the present
age. The restlessness and din of the
railroad principle which preyades its ope-
%rations,. and the spirit of an accumulation
which threatens to corrode every sensibil-
ity, are modified by the sweet friendship
of the quiet plants. The toll, the hurry,
the speculation, the sudden reverse, which
mark our W times, beyond all that Rave
preceded them, render it peculiarly saIuta-
" for VI to heed the a%dmonition of our
Savior, and take instruction from the Ill
Tres of the field, those peaceful denizens
of the bounty of heaven. ).
Horticulture has been pronounced by
medical men salutary to health end 10
cheerfuiness of spirits; and it would seem
that the theory might be sustained, by
the placid and happy countenances of
those who use it as a relaxation from the
excitement of business of the exhaustion
of study. And if he, who devotes his lei
sure to the culture of the works of nature,
benefits himself; he who beauties his
garden for the eye of the community is
surely q public benefactor. He instils
into the bosom of the man of the world,
painting with the gold-fever, gentle
thoughts; which do good, like a medicine.
He cheers the responding invalid, and
makes the eye of the child brighten with
a more intense brightness, Re furnishes
pure aliment for that taste which refine.
character and multir,ies simple pleasures.
To those who earn their subsistence by
laboriGg on his grounds, he stands in the
!igla Of benefactor. The kind Of indus
try which he promotes is favorable 10
simplicity and virtue. With one Of the
sweetest poets of the mother land, we
may say
"Praise to the sturdy spade, [pIy crook
And patient plough, and the shepherds sim
And let the light mechanics tool be hailed
With honor, which eRcasing by the power
OF long companionship, the laborer's hand.
Cuts off that hand, with all its world Of ncrtesi
From a toe busy m with the heart

THE LAFE MEDICINES
GENERAL REMARKS.

These medicines are indebted for then
name to their manifest and sensible action in
purifying the springs and channels of life, and
enduing them with renewed tone and yigor,
and TO the undoubted fact that at very early
period in their history they had rescued suffer-
ers from the very verge Of ain ~untimely grave,
after all the deceptive nostrums Of the day,
prescribed by physicians, had utterly failed, in
which cases they also permanently secured
that uniform enjoyment of health, without
which life itself is but a partial blessing.

cines at Baton Rouge. July 81 rs
