1t is a strange thing how little in gen.

the part of creation in which nature has
done more for the sake of pleasing man,
more for the sole and evident purpose
of talking to him, and teaching him, than
in any other of her works, and it is Just
the part in which we least attend 10 her.
There arc not many of her other works
in which some moro material purpose
than the mere pleasing of man is no.

The Wife's Influence.


IL do wish, Harry, that l could have
garden this summer, like the Towns.
ends. How nice it would be to raise all
the currants and Strawberries that we
should want. just think of those beau
tiful large Strawberries tnat I'VE saw at
the exhibition last summer would
they not be delicious with sugar and
cream, for tea, when you come home so
tired, in the hot weather in June ?"
To this query of his young wife, as
they were seated together at the window,
one evening early in the spring, just af
ter the snow bad disappeared and veg.
citation was beginning to unfold the ev.
idence of its vitality after having ondur-
ed the storms and rigors of an almost
arcric winter, Harry Manley assepted,
but urged as a Plea fer commencing the
execution of the proposed task, that as
ne had new farm, and his means were
limited, that it would not be advisable
to devote his time to the cultivation Of
such articles, as were not really neces.
sary, or that would produce some return
in cash, and that the idea Of revelling in
strawberries and cream was altogether
too poeticNl for poor, young farmer to
indulge in.
The wife, however. continued to paint
tho picture she had already drawn, in
more glowing colors. The currants, she
said, would last six weeks during the hot
test weather, aud after they were once
planted, they would require but little
care. Vegetables also could be grown,
which would more than repay all tho
labor bestowed upon them lettuce and
radishes in a few weeks would be ready
for use, and then would follow cucum-
bers and tomatoes, that would last till
destroyed by the frost in the iall and
if there could be some rhubarb this
spring, another year they could have
such excellent pies. A few flowers. too,
could be planted along tue edges of the
walks, which would furnish boquets for
the table.
In this way she continued, ua,il she
fauciod that her happiness would be com,
plete if her desires in this respect were
gratified.
Harry, however, although an excel
lent farmer, had never acquired taste
for gardening, and still continued to
think his wifcs IDEAS altogether imprac.
ticablc at the present time. 1t is true
he had some obscure notions of sometime
having a garden--wLcn hs had more
time, and when the duties of his farm
did not call So londly for their mmedi,
ate discharge !; in fact, os he used to say,
"when he got time" He had even gone
so far the year before, as to fence in
about half an acre of ground on one side
OF his house, aud cultivated it in carrots
for his stock
This spot The wife's fancy,in her dreams
that night invested with all the beauty
and lovlipeSs of Eden Graceful trees,
With their boughs pendant to earth, with

OR, LIFE AT A wATER-cURE.
Br PATIENT.
They rise at early morning
Just ere the "pcep of day"
And to the far off bathroom
In silence take their way.
There is tub of water
That reaches to the chin,
The sick and feeble patient
Goes madly 'plunging in
While some the 'douche' are taking
Or dash or dripping sheet
And some the half and 'sitz' bash,
To make the cure complete.
Then they go Exercising
Some, thirty miles per day,
And some poor feeble ladhs
Walk forty miles, they say.
Alas, poor feeble creatures,
Who thus ere breakfast go
Long miles, and exercise
In the gymnasium too.
Till ten o'clock. Then gather
For bath. Again at three,
Are packed like CHASTITY mummics
Just rescued from the sea.
And thus they cure the ailing
Who toll from mornings light
In bathing, walking, running,
Till 'foot-bath bell at night.
And now, my submerged friends,
You'll all agree, I'm sure,
This is Il true description of
Life at Water Cure.

of sublime simplicity. Here one who
