Culture of Strawberries.

The New York Horticultural Society, at
recent monthly conversational meeting,
made the culture Of strawberries their theme;
and we give the result at which they arrived
for the benefit of our rural readers
The best soil for the straw berry was
stated TO be gravelly loan. The land
should be well drained and 10 every acre
applied twenty bushels of unbleached ashes
ten bushels of lime, and two or three
pounds of salt. The ground should he we'll
broken up; animal manures should be es-
chewed; leafmold is the best, and this
should be carefully spaded in. About the
first of July is about the best time to set out
the plants. In doing this, pains should be
taken to have them firmly rooted The rows
should be eighteen inches apart, and the
plants foot apart. Sometimes it will be
well to allow greater interval, in which
case the interstices can be filled up from the
growth of the runners. After setting out
the plants, throw on a covering of tan-bark
an inch or an inch and half in depth, then
water them pentifully, and the moisture
will be retained long time. After cold
weather comes on, cover the strawberry
beds and the walks with clean straw, throw
ing over little brush, or something to keep
the straw in its place. In the spring, re-
move the straw, and make use of some fer
tilizing agent to give the plants vigor, as
sulphate OF soda, sulphate of ammonia, or
nitrate of potash. Keep the roots out, see
that the plants are bountifully watered, and
let nothing intervene to disturb or retard
their growth till you gather the fruit The
beds should be made over as often as every
three years.

and now owes its revival to the gallantry
and intrepidity of Mr. Garden. The Lon
don Times says, in noticing the trial.
"The animus of abduction survives in
Ireland, and though Mr.. Garden has been
unlucky, perhaps because he selected for the
OBJECT of his attempt the daughter of Sax
on, 1t is very clear that there is at least one
county in Ireland lTipperaryl in which even
the rape Of the Sabines might be reproduced
without meeting with serious resistance or
unqualified horror
In the case of the Sabine women, they
seem to have ratified the abduction them
selves, and made afterwards good and affec-
tlonate wives TO their abductors, as has been
the case in Ireland, and may be again, if the
tlme-honored custom of acquiring wives BY
the application of little douce Violence, as
the French call it, is to become again the
custom of the country. We think it had
best not; but we leave every country to it's
own customs and if the Irish ladies like
this way of wooing best, we have nothing
to say. The Times says, that " treason is
only treason when it does not prosper and
had Mr.. Garden fallen on easier material
for example, one of the ladies in court-the
act would not have been abduction, but a
gentle violence"
Since the Garden -Arbuthnot affair, an Eng
llsh music master, for running away with,
from public school, and marrying, girl
only twelve years old, has been sentenced
to nine months Imprisonment, and the vir-
tuous, but ungallant and unsusceptible
British public have been shocked at the base
ness and perfidy Of the man of music, and
the precocous forwardness of the damsel
who was not yet out of bread and butter.

Gy- Graham's Magazine contains sketch
of the japanese. their form of government,
their religion, &C., which is we'll worth a
perusal. Though heretofore in state of
occlusion from all the world, almost, these
people are not either bad, or unpublished, or
unsociable. This policy of keeping all the
nations of the earth at arms length, seems to
have been rather the jealousy of an arbitrary
government than the result of the national
will. All the accounts we have read of ia
pan lead US to this conclusion. They have
many curious customs, and some that are
astounding and horrifying to Christian
the hara-kari for instance, which means
suicide, and is honorable in Japan, so much
SO that to live on under certain circumstan-
ces is infamy, to die by ones own hand
glory. Hara-kari is simply letting out the
bowels with dagger, 1--WE should use the
bowie-knife in this country, and is resorted
to when public functionary has fallen un-
der the displeasure of the government. If
hara-kari were introduced into this coun-
try, there would not be such a rush and COM
petition for office as there is; for, much as
we love the loaves and fishes, we love a
whole skin still a little more. Should the
pressure for office ever get to be " most intol-
cradle and not to be endured" the introduc-
tion of hara-kari would frighten off the
applicants, and frighten out the incumbents
if anything could.

Wreaking thought upon expression" is
most efIectualy attained in this fine sonnet
written by w. J. Linton.
God thought of his creation and twas done,
For in Gods nature thought will, deed are one
And he approached unto God most near,
Whose thoughts i'll acts their true responses bear.
Action is natural echo of true will.
Thought is the seed, and will the secret growth
Till act bursts into daylight Wills an oath
TO accomplish thoughts to elaborate, fulfill,
And realize the idea in visible life.
Thought is "A prophecy. He puts the knife
To his own growth, whose being ends in thought,
Whose thought hath but the stunted growth OF
words.
T'is as if warriors, having forged their swords,
Should dream the fight was won-that forged was
fought.
