GARDEN WORK FOR MAY.

It is time now that all seeds were in the
ground, and this will be the working month
for the garden. Thin out the vegetables
with care and judgment, and stir the surface
soil frequently with the hoe. 1t is better to
work the garden just before night, and in
the early morning.
Sow late cabbages and collards; continue
to plant eggplant and peppers; plant Lima
beans; continue to plant corn for roasting
ears. Onions that's are wanting for the table,
should not be allowed to 90 to seed; break
off the seed tops as fast as they appear, which
will throw all the nourishmcnt that would
have gone to the perfection of the seeds, into
the bulb. The same with the Irish potato
pinch off the bloom buds as fast as they ap-
pear. Watch now for the miller that pro-
duccs the green cabbage worm. This miller
may be seen just at evening fitting from
plant to plant, depositing its eggs on the un-
der side of the leaf-oue miller will lay
some five hundred cggs-thcse eggs soon
hatch and produce the green worm so destruc-
tive to cabbages. As soon as the miller
make his appearance, kindle small fires just
at night in several places in the garden, and
the moth will be attracted by the light, and
fit into the fire. Continue to plant okra.-
IF YOU would continue the okra stalks in
bearing until frost, allow none to so to seed,
but cut the pods as fast as they are large e.
noueh for use. These may be cut into thin
slices and dried for winter use. The first
pods that appear should be saved for seed;
in this manner we may have early ohra.
Thin out the bects, parsneps, carrots,
satisfy and lettuce. Save the first squash
and cucumber for seed, but allow no squash
es or cucumbcrs to ripen on vines that are
to continue in bearing Empty the soap
suds upon the cabbage square. Mulch with
leaves or straw, Irish potatoes, cabbages,
English peas, snap pole beans. There is no
labor pays better through our long dry sum-
mers, than mulchipg the garden and fruit
orchard.
Ifthe striped bug is eating up the melon,
squash, or cucumber vines, mix guano with
gypsum, and dust over the vines, and they
will not trouble them more. Lose no time
in getting in seeds of savory and medicinal
herbs. Dress the asparagus bed with salt,
and the brine of the beef and pork barrels,
this will efectually keep down the grass and
weeds, and invigorate the asparagus roots.

For THE CURE OF CRoUP.-A piece of

THE SHOEMAKER.

THE SHOEMAKER.
An honest cobbler once I knew,
His name was Jacob Flach;
His shop was small, and had door
That opened with latch.
They called this man whole-souled chap;
He worked from morn till night;
And though his boots were apt to be,
Yet he was never tight.
In early life this cobbler was
OF parents both bereft,,
And, though he never learned to dance
Yet he could right and left.
The smallest job ne ne'er refuse,
But did it with will;
And after he your boots did foot,
You'd have to foot his bill.
For politics he had no taste;
They made him sick at heart,
And, though no doctor, yet he knew
Full we'll the heel-ing art.
He had tender, loving wife,
They used to call hel Peg;.
The reason why they called her so,
She had wooden leg.
Although her understanding was
To some extent impair ed,
She took delight in pleasing him,
And in his labors shared.
He also tried to- please his Peg;
The mark he liked to toe;
His work was excellently done,
His wife's was done-Sew, sew.
He never ouarrelled with his wife
Nor had the slightest brawl,
But ever looked upon her as
g, Upon his awl in awl. -...
One day he was with illness seized,
And waxing near his end
At least his wife so thought, and she
Did for the doctor send.
Twas hard to fathom his disease;
But yet twas very plain
That all throughout his body ran
An awful shooting pain.
His wife tried hard to get him well,
And by his side would stand,
And seemed resolved to place him soon
Upon the mending hand.
The doctor called; twas oil in vain;
Said he, he's failing fast;
And in about on hour or so
The cobbler breathed his last.
