cot with decided advantage, and the trees

them a copious watering occasionally. Turn

Elder Knapp OCCASIONALLY gets off good
thing, notwithstanding his bad ones. He
was one evening Of the prevailing tenden-
cy Of some reIigionisis to long prayeres.
and remarked that he could find no exam
pie foT those in the scriptures. The prayers
Of our Saviour were short, and to the point.
The prayer Of the penitent republican was
n happy specimen. When Peter was en-
deavoring to walk upon tho water, to meet
his master, and WAS about sinking, had
his supplication been as long rs the in
.terlude to one Of our modern prayers,
before he got half way through, he would
have been fifty feet under water.

The Kitchen Garden.

Little can be done, the present month, in
the garden, with the exception of mulching
wee,ling and watering. We regard the first
operation (mulching) MS OF paramount i'm
portance in thfs climates, and practice il very
extensively in our own garden. Mulch eve
rything-tree, shrubs, and vcgetabIes--cov-
ering the surface of the earth, as far as the
roots extend, with four or five inches Of
pine straw or forest icaves-and you will
find that trees and plants thus treated grow
much faster, and receive little or nothing on
check frcm the long continued drouths of
nid-summer. Water should now be freely
and regularly applied to all growing vege-
tables, in the manner heretofore directed
leaving no moisture exposed on the surface
to the suns baking rays. This is an excel
lent time to attack the weeds, and you must
show them no quarter. Cut them down
and let them die on the surface; or, dig them
up, AMI burn them, ro 1t, branch and seed
Seeds ofcabbagcs, caulhowers, celery, &c,
may be sown under low arbors, made Of
brush and pine tops, in order to temper the
fierce rays Of the sun. Water often, until
the plants are well up, when a little liquid
manure may be used alternately with the
water, from time 10 time. Plant n full crop
Of okra, without delay. Plant peas and
sweet corn, and snap beans for u succession.
Transplant tomatoes, cabbages, early celery
Sc, and prick out celery, caulihower and
broccoli Pinch Off the leading shoots of
your early tomatoes, lima beans, melons and
cucumbcrs, ify you want the fruit to set ear
ly, and give the plants liquid manure ifyou
desire large specimens. Strawberry beds
must be kept free from weeds, well muched
with leaves Or "broom- straw" and freely
watered in dry weather. Ifyou desire fruit,
cut off all the runners as fast as they appear,
and keep the ground cool and. moist. But
if you wish to increase your plants, the null
ching may be dispensed with, except immed-
lately around the plants, and the surface must
be kept clean, open and mellow.
