WORK IN THE GARDEN.

The season forhids much work TO be
done in the gar!en this month, still
there may be something done calculated
to facilitate the operations OF early spring
and TO these we will proceed to call
your attention.
Hot Be,!s..-Evrrv farmers garden
should be- provided with one Or more
hot beds, as without these conveniences
it is impossible TO be furnished with
very early vegetables a source of COM
fort which no farmer should be without
to say nothing about their luxury and
heal.hfulness. If You lave no such ap.
planes about yoHr garden, you should
forthwith supply the deficiency. A hot
bed OF sutj!cien. dimensions for large
family need not cost much, and, if made
in the way we described last January,
will cost very little, as it can be made
by any common farm hand.
Time Of Scoring Sec In order that
the plants may be ready 10 set CIT when
the ground may be- in condition 10 re-
eeive them, We will mention that plants
are generally in condition to be trans
planted in from to S weeks from the
time Of sowing seeds.
The garden vegetables which require
to be early s,wn, TIRE 7omotocs, Egg
plants, CuIjages, Lenucc, Cn"liNowers,
and can all be compressed within the
compass Of a hot bed 90 by 4 feet in di
ameter. -. 3mcricQn Furmer.

There is II Sprln.-time OF the heart
lis found in infancy
When on It's mothers breast the babe
First smiles in dimpled eIee:
When. like the bud upon the stem,
lis lite is but begun,
And prarly tcaG-dropS flee the eyes
As shadows flee the SUM-
There is Summer Of the heart
Ills found in carly youth
When life Is full Of juyousness,
Of innocence and truth:
When clouds but seldom intervene
To mar the sky so bright,
And all is but fairy scene
Ofcxquislte delight!
There is nm Autumn of the heart
It's found in ripper age--
When sorrows familiar thing,
And grief an heritage:
When shadows thick and dark come DER
The beauty of the sky.
And, by theiI dim obscurity,
Fure,el some danger nigh!
There is a Winter Of the heart
IT'S found in later yfars--
When life is full of bitterness,
OF vain regrctlul tears:
When stormy winds und chilling blasts
Blow with So fierce breath,
That we wo;ld laiu seek shelter in
The anchorage 0! Death!
Whenr'er the Autumn;of the herat
Shall cloud our lives with gloom,
And Winters cold and chilling blasts
Remind us oflhe tomb,

On Times uncertain shore,
Our souls may know, in purcr climes,

Hon. w. Il. Stuart.
September Sd, 1852.

The following letter from one Of Massachusetts most
distinguished and influential citizens addressed
prominent and influential Wing in this State warm
personal friend Of Mr.. Stuart, who, indignant the
course of of the Wing presses, in impugnng Mr.
Stuarts standing while student in college, addressed
letter the old preceptor of Mr. s., which called forth
the following answer. 1t speaks for itself.
1t may add weight to the opinions expressed in this
letter, when it is ksown that it written promi
nent whig by one who has never been connected with
politics:
SALEM MASS April IL, 1852.
DEAR SIR:-In answer to yours OF March Both,
must begin with expression Of great surprise, that
the most unspa:ing zeal of political opponents
attainments of w. Z. Stuart, Esq, ''ds scholar IN
College" And thus speak, not knowing TO what po-
tca party Mr. Stuart belongs, or having the slightest
personal acquaintance with any OF his friends and sup
porters, in the present political canvass.
He early took rank among the foremost in class OF M
ty and upwards and other classes would certain
ly have been the head He Of the three the
very highest in rank at the time he graduated. The
two young men, who, in of the departments had
little advantage him, each very eminent for
talents and scholarship have them now distinctly be-
fore my mnd and have Just referred to the catalogues
of the College that might recall his classmates and
competitors, and do no injustice To of them by any
testimony in favor of Mr.. Stuart.
In some respects considered him decidedly superior
all others in his class As writer and debator no
one can have had any higher mark the scale of
merit for the rhetorical de partment, which had the
honor 10 direct. He appeared TO me young man of
common powers of perception, discrimination, and
logical method. His thoughts clear and his style
OF expression remarkably terse and strong. He
had very unusual maturity of sound sense, with great
copousness and real aiuence of scholar like ilustra-
lion; which, npon al subjects in the exercises of his
class, made him prominent and, at some times, pre-
eminent in a very marked degree.
If the testimony of all the officers with whom was
associated could now be obtained, | that it
would be in fall concurrence with my own And if Mr.
Stuart has continued those habits of industry of good
morals, and andable emulation, which distinguished
him in College, ! should think that Your fellow -eiti-
be highly favored if they find many who
better qualified discharge the duties of the office
for which he is now in nomination.
Very respectfully, yours. &C.,

AnecdOte of Gen. Scott.

An interesting anecdote is told by Massachusetts
officer of the wonderful. foresight Of great chief
whose plans for the whole conquest of Mexico we're
made history by altering the lenses from future to past
While Vera Cruz Gen. Scott for the head of the
Quarter Masters department. and said to him: Sir,
have you got everything in readiness in your line which
may want between this and the captala" " Yes
sir, have got everything army possibly require
" Have you sent along any fen-Penny nGis?" - Ten
penny nails No SIR" Then forward cask OF them"
The officer puzzled 10 conceive what the General
could want with ten. penny nails But when the - Ma
tional Bridge was blown into of rocks 10y the
flying enemy the Generals admirable foresight ap
parent. The Penobscot lnmbermen ready
with their timber TO repair II; the cast Of nails
turned out, and the army its road victory
Fachbargh Reueitie
If ever a highly euogized military hero had just
pray to the Lord TO him from his friends
that officer is Major General Winfield Scott Here is
Massachusetts officer extong the great chief for his
wonderful foresight in ordering fen-peRRy nails for
pairing bridge.
This Massachusetts friend would lead the common
sense portion of the public believe that the tall hero
Of the Wing party had the he born with.
Ten-penny nails for repairing the national bridge in
Mexico when ten inch spikes are scarcely large enough
the timbeTs OF bridge! But the euogist
not be than half witted himself. Does he
know that ten-penny nails are only one inch and half
long and the military chief only wanted them nail up
the boxes which contained his feathers. But this inter
esng anecdote going the rounds Of the press and the
innocent Whig exqnisites, many Of whom have
nail head OF spike, take in as the bona de
I" truth OF history"
But for their edifcation must inform them that the
national bridge in Mexico not blown into Of
rocks by the flying enemy, nor was requisite TO use
single ten-penny nail in repairing IT, The flying enemy
had neither time inclination destroy that admirable
structure of and cement, and the hosts OF Asrxes
might have passed it at any time during the Mexl
if ten-penny nails had never been invented.
1t is requisite, methnks, to nail such absurdites OF
our opponents both past and future, for they weak
race and their plans cannot strengthen their cause,
however they may idle tales and subterage to
make up history if we only keep correct run Of their
chicanery and expose it in time to destroy its effects
