9Work for the Month.

We have now no new work to cut out.
It so happens in the order of the seasons,
that with the close of the year comes al.
so the close Of tho crop. This is emphat-
ically the time for settling up. The cot
ton should all be picked, the corn all gath
cred, the pork killed, and our debts all
paid-not even forgetting tho printer. II
these things are not done, We have only
10 say, strive to have them all settled,
and out Of the way, before the new year
dawns upon you. We shall find quite
enough to do, to properly discharge the
duties Of the coming year, without any
Of tho encumbrauces of the past, to be
superadded. 1t is good time, also, to
review the past, note its errors and delin-
Puencies, and resolve upon improvement.
We ought to grow wiser and better, as
we grow older. Failing TO do this, we
disappoint our destiny, come short of our
obligations to posterity, and will find very
soon "that the night cometh when no man
can work." "For there is no work on de-
vice in the cold grave" into which these
rapidly rolling years are Fastening us.

With the aid of their discriminating
minds and powerful pens, we hope to be
able to make this department Of our jour
nal worthy tho support Of every lover of
the useful and the beautiful. In the veg
etable department we are fast taking rank
with the best gardeners of the world
We are beginning to throw off the chains
that bound us to a servile imitation Of
English gardening, and to strike out
path for ourselves, suited to our own soils
end climate.
1t has become quite common now to
make two crops Of Irish potatoes from tho
samo seed, and to preserve them with all
their farinaceous qualities. The firm head
cabbage has now become almost as COM
mon as the long blue collard. Wethers-
field has now lost its monopoly at the
South. Onions arc growing here all the
winter. Market gardening, except in the
vicinity of our large cities, may not have
been brought to the perfection that it has
Mt the North, from the fact that every
housewife raises l,er own vegetables-but
the improvement in country gardening is
very Percepible. The quantity and quail
ity Of vegetables found now in almost ev-
cry plantation garden, will compare favor
ably with the private domestic gardens Of
any country. And in the floral depart
ment there is an improved taste. 1t is
exceedingly gratifying to see even around
the rudest cabins, the clinging vine, the
standard rose, the gay dahlia, and the
humble little ANIMALS. And as the chill
winter comes on, to find on the mantle y
bulb just ready TO bunst into bloom, or q
petted camellia, or azalia, laden with their
floral treasures, opening their glittering
petals, making continual summer in the
household. We find much to encourage
us in the horticulture of the South, inde-
pendent Of the pleasure we derive from
the expending bloom, or theripening fruit.
There is unalloyed pleasure in seeing the
taste increase in others around us. If it
does not always speak of wealth, it does
OF refinement and happiness. Give us
your aid, then, lovers Of the beautiful, to
mako our journal, the next year, a more
worthy medium for disseminating light
upon tho horticulture of the South.

Lizzie and her friend had arrived, and fa-
ces betrayed lightness of heart, that would
have been envied by the less CAV. The per
sons We're all assembled and appeared to en-
joy the commencement Of the evening, AZ
did our two heroines. We will only follow
the lattor two, with the addition of one or
two of their sex.
The dance put an end to conversation
lanez met the glance of Lizzie, who smiled
to SEQ that she was pleased. Returning to
her seat she whispered 10 Gen. B that
the dance was extremely short, and the Col
was very fascinating. In the mean time tho
exhilerating beverage was not forgotten, and
many were the glasses that were pledged.
Lizzie sought to speak once more with Jancz,
and whispered if Hated had solicited her
hand yet. Jancz, replied with smile that
ho had not, and would be of no avail If he
had, as she would not come in third choice
think" she continued, al have silenccd
you and Mamie, now and forever, rs | have
had ostensiblc proof that he is partial to you
this evening from his very divoted and assid-
uous attentions to YOU"
lis merely concocted scheme you both
have made" retorted Lizzie, she had no sson
er concluded than she was approached by
Col. s., also Gen. b., inquiring of her if sho
could give any clue to her friends sentiments,
Lizzie was delighted, and said she would do
so with Jancz's permission.
II admire your frankness, Miss d., your
friend would lead me to believe that she is a
stranger to the all absorbing passion OF
school girls"
"A tale could tell you, Gen., of an ac-
quaintanee of bsrs that complained of enuui
and of being Byroncal, &c, &c, after he left
A., on certain time"
Lizzie, hope your conversational pow
ers arc not 80 poor, that You will have to re-
sort to our private conversations to entertain
your friends"
She spoke in not very mild tone, but in
order to prevent further analysis of her sem
timents.
In the meantime, she was solicited to Join
PTemenade, out no sooner commenced, than
the dance was renewed, and she left Hafed,
to take the hand Of Col. A. for the cotillion.
Maj. II. inquired of the two students, rs
they were preparing to return home, If they
had given thought to tomorrow Lizzie
replied to him -" sufficient for the day il
the evil thereof"
We will not detail to the reader the moon
light walk home, the sercnsde the farewell
Of ffriends-and with morninh, when calm
reflection came" But the brilliant evening
has passed away, and with It the halcyon
eSistance of the school, leaving us but the
tomb Of memory, over which the imagination
will lingering hauut rs the grecnest spot in
i'm memory's waste.

From the Soil Of tie South.
HORTICULTURE AT THE SOUTH.

The beautiful exhibitions of fruits, veg
etables and flowers, at our State Fair,
show great improvement. We doubt
whether any State Fair in the Union can
exhibit greater variety, or finer fruit,
than we saw at Macon during the Fair.
There was feeble effort made to classify
the fruits Of the South, but it will take
time and labor to accomplish this much to
be desired result. We know there are
many fruits Of our own originating which
are superior to any we can import, but
they are lost to the public for the want Of
proper name to give them notoriety.-
Upper Georgia is fast becoming another
Ohio, in fruit culture. Her apples, pears,
plums and peaches, cannot be beat. The
only trouble about it is, every cultiyator
has name for his fruit, and the same
fruit bears legion Of names, even in the
Same section of country. There is but
one way to remedy this, that we can see,
and that is, for the State Agricultural
Society to authorize some competent man,
such an one 81. Van Buren, of Haber.
sham, to make the tour Of the country
during the season, and classify and name
the fruits, under the patronage and auth
ority of the Society. A few hundred dol
lars, appropriated in this way by the So
ciety, would save thousands annually TO
the public, and would give us list of
fruit equal to any in the world. There
are many fruits that have undergone an
entire change by culture. For instance,
the strawberry that We cultivate was orr
ginally Hoycy's seeding, but is now no
more like the Hovey seeding that is in
common cultivation, than it is like the
Wild strawberry Of the woods. We have
now, November 18th, a. full and per.ee.
fruit on our vines as the original ever
bore in Boston in May. Now, il the cul-
ture of the strawberry can be so much
improved in the South, is il not possible
to improve other fruits likewisea We
have much faith. Mr.. Samuel Lancaster.
OF jackson, Tennessee, writes us that he
has now ripe raspbcrries--and that like
our strawberries, he has constant success
sion Of ripe fruit from spring until frost.
We arc gratifed to be able to announce
TO our horticultural readers that Iverson
l.. Harris, Esq, Of Milledgeville, Ca, DIR.
Camak, Of Athens, Ga, and ]. Van Blu.
rem, Of Habcrsham, have each volunteer
ed to become regular contributors to our
columns, through tho whole of the COM
ing year, and that each number Of tho
Soil Of the South viii contain an article
from each Of those genslemsn. We doubt
whether three gentlemen can be found in
the South that combine more general and
useful information upon horticultural sub.
jccss, than Harris, Camak and Van Baren.
