GARDENS THAT NEVER FAIL. NV gar
den failed last year, owing to the drought"
was the remark of friend of ours, when
apologizing for the slovenly appearance of the
patch of ground which he dignifed with the
name of garden, and in which, each year,
after blowing and narrowing the ground, he
is accustomed to plant cabbages, onions, beets,
cucumbers, melons, &C.. for the supply of his
family but the soil being clayey, aud not
over or inches in depth, with compact
subsoil beneath the crops were ofcourse liable
to dry up in such season of severe drought
as was last year in June; and as such sea-
sons are by no means unusual in this climate
tits good policy for every one who has gar
den or vegetable patch, to adopt such asystem
of culture as viii prevent the danger of failure
from this source.
Deepening tie soil is the only effective
means of protection against failure from
drought. Piow or spade up the subsoil in
the fall, so az to expose it to the meIlowing eff
feets of frost, say to the depth of foot at
least, and If deeperso much the better adding
a good supply Of stable manure the crops
VIII then push their roots so deep, and moist
ure will rise from below so constantly, that
while other gardens around may fail from
drought, this viii continue green and flourish
ing and the increased yield as well as i'm.
proved quality Of its products win III single
year almost or quite pay for the improvement.
Cucumber, melon, and similar vines appear
to have small roots, but their roots run very
deep if opportunity IS offered for them. Ex-
perieneed gardeners will not fail to give them
deep as well as rich ground, in this sunny eli
mate where droughts are SO frequent. The
same is true of cabbages, and i'll short all
kinds Of garden vegetables. The directions
for the culture Of such things as are given in
most books on gardening. are written by per-
sons unaccustomed to SO dry and warm a eli
mate as ours, and hence are deficient in not
sufficiently insisting upon deep culture as
preventative of injury from drought We
find Unnecessary to give " line upon line . on
this subject.-Ohio Ca5tipator.

ANEcDoTE OF Mr.. JEFFERsoN.-M Jeffer-
sons great height and slender figure exposed
him to much ridicule from his opponents his
sObriquet with them was "Long Tom" and
when his famous project OF the substitution
of Gun Boats in place of a Navy, was adopt
ed by Congress, and the attempt made to put
1t into practice, the cannon disproportionablY
large, with which each of the RECONSTRUCTED
craft was burdened, obtained, in contempt,
the name of ''Long Tom Nothing could
present more striking OF more singular con-
trast, than the figures of Mr. Jefferson and
General Knox; the one very short, and as
thick as he was long-the other lank and lean,
and unusually tall. They happened to meet
one morning, on the steps at Gen. Washing.
tons lodgings, in Philadelphia. The two gem

and arriving at the same moment, contest in

chlvalrous polteness, could not think of pass

partment Of State while the civil officer of
government was equally ayerse to take prece-
dtnce of the military; and they stood for
some moments, each drawing back and waving
the other forward. In the midst of this some
what entertaining scene, came up directly in
front, the greatest Wit of his day. Perceiving
how matters stood, and casting sly glance
from one to the other, exclaiming as he pass

The PUNcTuAL MAN.-Mr Higgins was

untiring industry and punctuality and at
the advanced age Of ninety years was resting
guilty upon his bed, and calmly waiting to be
called away He had deliberately made al
most every arrangement for his disease and
burial.
Ills pulse grew fainter and the light of life
seemed just Pickering in its socket, when one
of his sons Observed
Father, you will probably live but day
or two is it not well for YOU to name your
bearers y
ITO be sure, my son." said the dying
man,-'it is well thought of, and will do it
aov."
He gave a list of six, the usual number, and
sunk back exhausted upon his pillow. A
CLEAN of thought passed over his withered face
like ray of light, and he rallied once more.---
"My son, read me that list. Is the name of
Mr.. Virgins there:"
ut is, my father"
"Then strike it eff said he emphatically,
"for he was aerer paeactaal--- was never any
