UNDER THE MOON,

Under the moon as the twilight breeze
nipples the water in pulses Of light,
We stand on the bridge by the sycamore trees,
And list to the voice that comes through the nil
Under the elm row, misty and dark,
Loves sweet laughter rings from the bank
sprinkled with many dim red lamp,
Stretching away through the distance damp,
Ilark mid the foliage blossom with June,
Tinkles serenade under the moon.
Under the moon in the village street,
Gossipping groups in the shadow meet,
Seated at dusky doorways there,
Red Tipped maidens taste the air
Whispering now Of their lovers eyes,
Blue as the beautiful summer skies;
Whispering now Of their fattery sweet,
As Autumn's fruitage dropped i the heat;
Until they cadence trembling tune,
Son as their pulses, under the moon.
Under the moon, by the soft sea shore,
The wind walks over its precious floor,
Counting the snow-bosomed sails
Daintly dipping through azure wales,
Over the crisp foam bearing along
The musing mariners midnight song;
As, by the rising helm with hands
Lit in the compass lamp he stands,
Thinking of those he left at noon,
Away he is bearing under the moon.
Under the moon by the dusly road,
Pace we on to the old abode
The listless splendor floating falls
Der its sycamored roof and walls,
Peering into the easement nook
Piled with many brown old book
Spirits are they whose pages TEEN
With thoughtful ditty and pictured dream
Spirits, amid whose silence soon
Our own shall slumber under the moon.

HOMELY HINTS TO HOUSEWIVES

I've been trying, for long time, to find lei.
sure, in which to pen something for the Ohio
FdrD'e-but that time don't CONC; and ius,
now, while the 6at-rons are heating, and sis
Josie is playing house-keepcr, | will jot down
whatever comes first:
sTAw BEDS.
The best bed, aside from ma;rass, is a COM
mon straw tick, with comfortable spread ON
it. The opening in straw beds should fasten
together with buttons.
DRIED Fruits.
In this month, dried fruits should be washed
and re-dred /; if not, they will become wormy,
otherwise, they can be kept for years.
CORN CAKE.
We eat corn cake every day, and our folks
have fauered us, until we think, for plain.
wholesome kind, ours exccls all others. We
take six cups of good butiermilk, one egg. salt
enough, and tablespoonful of saeratus make
it thin as batter for frying beat quickly, and
only long enough to free from Jumps pour in
to large buitered bread pan, and bake half an
hour. This is light, with a nice tender crust,
and plenty for a family of six. Stick pin
here, you folks with the "weasel in your
wheat" as Mother Pariington would say.
SHORT DRESSES.
For washing days, milking in dewy nights
and mornings, chnrning making cheese, scald-
ing pans and crooks, and many other kinds of
sloppy work, loose sack and pants, aud cal
leo SKIRT fastened at the waist, make a cool and
suitable dress for farmers wives and daughters.
The skirt should extend half way between the
knee and ankle. No other skin is necessary.
1t is false, prudsh modesty, that makes
women, who have such work TO do, wade abont
IN the dew and dirty water with their drapelcd
dresses and skirts hopping up every nasty pud-
die, and tapping around them like wet, soiled
banners about their stalls. For the sake of
their own health and cleanliness, we DO wish
they would think in common sense manner
about this shocking improperly.
BED BUGS.
Hogs lard, rubbed freely on bedsteajs. is
the best preventative we know against bed bugs;
Tor as long as il remains, they do not come
near Before applying it, bedsieads should be
well washed with cloth and cold wafer
scaldlng with hot water, and spelling them is
needless.
But the irons are hot, and Josie has wearied
OF the kitchen, and gone off to the meadow for
posies, singing like lark, and her hat hanging
u" "e' ai'h' RosELLA.

AGRICULTURAL.
A FEW HINTS ON BUDDING.
A VALUABLE AND TIMELY ARrIcLr.

Budding, or incubation. is one of the most
general, and in this country, by far the most
important method of summer propagation The
operation consists in removing bud from the
variety 10 be propagated, and inserting it on an
other which is called the stock. Its success
depends upon the following conditions
In Ahe first place, there must be a certain de-
gree Of affinity between the stock and the par
ent plant, from which we propose to propagate.
Thus, among fruit trees, the Apple, Grab, Pear,
Ounce, Mespilus and Mountain Ash, all belong
10 the same natural family, and may be worked
upon each other. The Plum, Apricot, Necla-
rine, Peach and Almond from another natural
division, and work upon each other. The Cher
ny must he worked upon some kind of Cherry,
and Currants and Gooseberries go together
In general practice, the Apple is worked either
upon Apple seedlings, which are called free
stocks, or upon the DOucain or Paradise, which
are dwarf growing species, and are used for the
purpose OF making small trees. The Pear is
worked either upon Pear seedlings, which are
called free stocks, or upon the Ounce, to make
dwarls occasionally it is worked upon the
Mountain Ash and Thorn. But it must be borne
~ ihihui thdt all NdTlttlcS succeed on the
Pear Seeding, certain number fail entirely on
the stocks we have named. Lists of such as
succeed particularly well on the Ounce, will be
found in previous numbers ofthe Hortculturist.
The cherry is worked either upon seedlings of
what is known as the Massard, small, black.
sweet Cherry, that form very large, robust
tree; or for dwarfs, on the Malaleb, or per-
fumed Cherry, which is a small tree with bitter
fruit, about as large as a sommon pea.
In the second place, the buds must be in n
proper state. The shoot or scion budded from.
must be the present seasons growth, and il
should be mature-that is, should have complet-
ed its growth which is indicated BY the forma.
tion Of bud on the point, called the terminal
6ud, and the buds inserted should all be wood
buds. On shoot of this kind, there are num-
Der Of buds unsuitable for working those at the
base being but partially developed, are liable 10
become dormant, and those on the point, where
the wood is pithy, perish. The rpening or
maturing of the buds, must regulate the period
OF budding, so that The time at which any given
tree or class of trees should be worked, depends
upon, the season, the soil, and other circumstan-
ces' which control the rpening of wood. In
our climate Plums usually complete their growth
earlier than other fruit trees, and are therefore
budded first we usually have ripe buds BY the
middle Of July. In some cases, when the stocks
are likely TO stop growing early, it becomes me-
eessary to take the buds before the entire shoots
nave completed their growth, and then the ripe
nuas from the middle aud lower parts are cho-
SEN Cherries come next, and are generalIv
worked about the first of Aro,,.. ~ !,

The CULTURE OF STRAwBERRIEs.-The New
York Horticultural Society, at a recen, copyer-
sailonal meeting, arrived at the following con-
illusions in regard TO the bes, methed of Guilt
waiting strawberries:
The best soil for the strawberry was stated
to be gravelly loan. The land should be well
drained, and to every acre applied twenty BUSH
els oil unieached ashes, ten bushels of lime. and
Two or three pounds of salt. The ground
should be well broken up animal manures
Should he eschewed leaf is the best, and this
should be carefully spaded in. Abont the first
OF July is the best time TO SET out the panis.-
IN DONG this, pains should be taken to have
them firmly rooted. The roots should be eioh-
teen inches apart, and the plants a foot apart
Sometimes il will be well to allow greater
interval, in which case the inerstices can be fl-
up from the growth Of the runners. Aner set
ting out the plants, throw on covering of tan
bark an inch, or an inch and half in den,b
'hen water them plentifully, and the moisture
VIII be retained long time. After cold wealth
or comes on, cover the strawberry beds and The
walks with clean straw, throwing over little
brush, or something to keep the straw in its place.
IN the spring remove the straw and make use
OF some iertllzng agent to give the plants vipor.
as snlphate OF soda, sulphale of ammonia, or
nitrate oil potash. Keep the roots out, see that
ihe plants arc bountfully watered, and let moth
ing intervene to disturb or retard their growth
'Hi you gather the fruit. The beds should be
'"aue over as often as every three years"
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1855-08-04

little spice, with two dozen cloves beathn to.
gethor, and one nutmeg grated, should be put
in small linen bag and dropped in. After all
are mixed, put il in a stone jug, filled up, and
kept foil with some of the same juice reserved
for that purpose until it is done working, which
il will be in two or three weeks. Cork il
tightly and keep il 10 n cold place for three or
four months, then pour it or into bottles, with
little loaf sugar in each bottle, cork and seal
close. If the wine is kept for twelve months,
it will be still better, and will continue to i'm.
prove with age.
