To SAVE WIVES FROM BUos.-I would give
my experience IN regard to the enemies Of
the vine. On my vines first appear, as q
general thing, the small black bug or fly; the
only thing ever found to drive them off is
Scotch snuff sprinkied on the vines. I have
found that the most efectual preventive
against the effects Of striped bugs, cut worms
or black Aies-and In fact all the enemies OF
the vine, Tor cabbage), as follows: Make a
box about seven inches deep by SIX incheo
square on top, snd eight op bottom. This is
to be placed over the hills as soon as the
vines begin 10 break the ground. ! have had
my vines eaten off when The blow was jus,

From the elm-iree's topmost bough,
Hark The robins early song,
Telling, one and all, that now
Merry spring-lime hastes along
Welcome lidings thou dost bring,
Little hsrbingeT of spring!
Robins come.
OF the winter We are weary,
Weary Of iis frost and snow, &
Longing for the sunshine CHEEKY, y.
And the brookIet's gursling flow;
Gladly when we hear thee sing
The reveiils Of the spring!
Robins come.
Ring il out DER hill and plain,
Through the gardens lonely bowers,
Till the green leaves dance again,
Till The air is sweet with flowers;
Wake the cowsIip by the rill,
Wake the yellow daffodil,
Robins come.
Then, ms thou wert wont of yore,
Build Thy nest and rear Thy young,
Close beside our cottage door, -..
In the wooJbine leaves among;
Hurt or harm thou needst not fear;
Nothing rude shall venture near,
Robips come.
Swinging still Ger yonder lane,
Robin answers menily,
Ravished by the sweet refrain,
ALICE claps her hands in gtee;
Shouting from the open door,
With her clear voice DER and DER,
s'Itobins come !"
