Hot BEDs.-Not one farmer out of
twenty knows what it is to have his
table we'll supplied with early vegot.
ables, although the cost of a hot bed
is triHing, and it can be made in a few
hours at a time when tie work on the
farm is not very pressing. Choose q
warm, dry border facing to the South
or Southwest, and out OF the range Of
buildings and shade-trees, 50 that it
will have the full force of the suns
rays. Dig a pit from one to two feet
deep, over which to place the frame.
Make the frame of one and a quarter
inch plank. The size may be from
8 to five feet in width and OF any de-
sirable length. When tie frame is
adjusted over the pit, fill it about
halffull of fresh horsC-stable manure
which has been well kept and not ex-
posed to the action Of the weather.
Put on the sashcS and allow them to
remain for three or four days, after
which the soil can be put in from six
to eight inches in depth. This must
be the best mould that can be procur-
ed from the garden. The seed should
not be planted for several days after
the bed has been made, as there is
danger of destroyingth the germ, if seed
is put over the hot manure too soon.
Air should be given to the bed before
it is planted.
The frame should be banked upwith
warm manure and soil on all sides, to
protect it from cold, and when the
weather is unusually inclcment, it
would be well to cover it with straw.
The bed should be sprinklod with wa
ter daily until the plants appear, and
when the weather is sufficiently mild,
the sa5hes can be removed to allow
the entrance OF fresh air, and make
the plants grow strong and hardy.

Place the white man on Afric's coast,
Whose swarthy sons in blood delight,
Who of their scorn to Europe boast
And paint their very demons white:
There, while the sterncr sex disdans
To sooth the woes they cannot feel,
Woman will strive to heal his pains,
And weep for those she cannot heal,
Hers is warm PHYS sacred glow
From all her stores she bears part;
And bids the spring of hope re.dow,
That languish'd in the fainting heart.
"What though so pale his haggard face,
So sunk and sad his looks, ,"-she cries;
"And far unlike our noble race,
With cIispcd locks and rolling eyes;
Yet misery marks him of our kindj-
We see him lost alone afraid
And pangs of body, griefs in mind,
Pronounce him man, and ask our aid.
perhaps In some far distant shore,
There are whom these forms delight;
Whose milky features please them more
Than ours of jet, thus burnish' d bright:
OF such may be his weeping wife,
Such children for their sire may call;
And if we spare his ebbng life,
Our kindness may preserve them ALL"
Thus her compassion woman shove,
Beneath the line her acts are these;
Nor the wide waste of LapIand SHOWS
Can her warm flow of pity freeze;
"From some sad land the stranger comes,
Where joys like ours are never found,
Let's soothe him in our happy homes,
Where freedom sits with plenty crown'd,
otis good the fainting soul to cheer,
To see the fanish'd stranger fed;
To milk for him the mother, dear,
To smooth for him the furry-bed
The powers above our LOpland bless
With good no other people know;
u enlargcr the joys that we possess,
By feeling those that we bestow.
Thus in extremes of cold and heat,
Where wondering man may trace his kind
Wherever grief and want retreat,
In woman they compassion fnd
She makes the female breast herSeat,
And dictates mercy to the mind,
Man may the sterner virtues know
Determined justice, truth severe;
But female hearts with pity glow,
And woman holds afflicton dear
For guiltless oes her sorrows flow,
And suffering vice compes her tear,
IT'S hers to soothe the ills below,
And bid life's fairer views appear.
To woman's gentle kind we owe
What comforts and delights us here;
They its gay hopes on youth bestow,
And care they soothe-and age they cheer

what is the use of acting in this way?--
