A GEM.-It is not what people cat, but
what they digest that makes them strong. It
is not what they gain, but what they save,
that makes them rich. 1t is not what they
read, but what they remember, that makes
them learned. 1t is not what they read but
what they remember, that makes them learn
ed. 1t not what they profess, but what they
practice that makes them righteous. These are
very plain and important truths, too little
needed by gluttons, spcndthrifts, bookworms
and hypocritS.

SfliistfIIalleons,



There was a lawyer on Cape Cod, a
long time ago, the only one in those
"diggins" then, and for aught I know
at present. He was a man well to do
in the world, and what was somewhat
surprising in limb of the law, averse
to incur litigation. One day client
came to him in violent rage.
Look here, Squire, said he, 'that
blasted shoemaker down to the Pigeon
Grove has gone and sued me for the
money for pair of boots I owed
him.
Did the boots suit your?
ooh, yes
well, then, you owe him the money
honestlyY
'0f course
well, why don't you pay him?
why, because the blasted snOb went
and sued me, and / want to keep him
out of the money if / kim
1T viii cost you something
Il don't care for that. How much
do you want to 60 on with?
E0h, ten dollars will do
'Is that all? Well here's an x, SO q
ahead, and the client went off very
well satisfied with the beginning.
Our lawyer next day called on the
shoemaker, and asked him what h'
meant by instituting legal proceeding
against NJ.
'Why, said he, 4 knew he was abl,
to pay, and I was determined to MAKE
him. That's the long and short of it.
WELL said the lawyer, hes always
been a good customer to you, I think
you acted too hastily. There's trifC
to pay on account Of your proceeding
but I think you had better take those
five dollars and call it square
Certain, Squire, if you say so, anC
glad to get it, was the answer.
So the lawyer forked over the Vant
kept the other. In a few days his ellen
came along and asked him how he go
along with the case.
Rapidly, cried the lawyer, we'v,
non-suited him! He'll never troubl
you!
Jerusalem! that's great! I'd rathe
gin fifty dollars than had him got tn,
money for the boots

We mean to do. oar part toward
securing great luxury for our readers,
by reminding those Of them who have
not as vet made any provision for its
endowment, Of what they, on their part
must do toward it. We bring this
matter before them thWs early, because
it might be too late if preparation
should not be make before the opening
of the growing season. The thing
which each reader who wishes to enjoy
the great luxury must do for himself,
Is the procuring Of a lot, greater or
smaller. of Lima beans for seed. They
are not in common use in several dis
tricts. and therefore unless pains be
taken to provide seed somewhat before
the season of planting, there may be q
loss of a part Of the season, or even
an entire disappointment. And as our
seasons at t40eN. Lat, are rather too
short for fully maturing them, it is i'm
portant that the seed should be pro
yided quite early. Let the matter,
therefore, be attended to without delay,
by buying orbegging, or borrowing OF
those who raised this most delicious
article Of diet last year, or by order
ling a unantity for seed at the store
where your garden seeds are usually
purchased.
After making due provision for Sc
curing 4 supply of seed, or actually
procuring it, the next thing which those
unacquainted with the cultivation OF
the Lima bean may pro6tably do, is to
inform themselves as to its cultivation.
| AS this kind of information may pc
obtained from neighbors or from books
on gardening, we do not think itneces-
sary to enter upon full details. There
are. however, two points in the mode
of cultivation which do not always re-
ceiye the attention which is due TO
them, about which We will very briefly
give some directions.
| AS the Lima bean is q native OF a
much warmer climate-that OF Peru
III requires long and warm season Tor
Its full maturity. It is therefore I'M
portant that it should have an early
start, and in order to give it this, it is
a good plan to take sod Of some
thickness, and after cutting i up into
squares Of six or eight inches, to- plant
one or two beans, on the reverse side,
in each square. These pieces Of re-
versed sod may then be put into a
lhot-bed, or placed in south window
lof a cellar, or set'in a well-sheltered
SPOT on the south side Of house, be-
ling covered ND or secured from frost
and cold during nights. As soon as
settled warm weather comes, these
sduares may be set into the part Of
the garden where they viii obta5n most
sun, heat and shelter. In this way
the crop win be week or two earlier,
and the latter portion Of it more nearly
lmatured than It would otherwise have
been.
The other point, often neglected,
consists in shortening in the stems at
the height Of 6 or Z feet. If allowed
to run, they will extend to double that
length, SOME tyingstrings from pole to
pole to admit oftheir doing so. Ifnot
shortened in, pods continue 10 he form
eduntil late in the season, which never
mature; whereas, if this is done, the
earlier pods receive all the nOurish-
ment, are richer, and ripen earlier.
