NATURES WORSHIP.
By J. G. WHITTIER.


The ocean looketh up to heaven,
As 'twere a living thing;
The homage of its wave is given
In ceaseless worshipping.
They bend upon the sloping sand,
As bends the human knee;
A beautiful and tireless band,
The priesthood of the sea.
The mists are lifted from the rills,
Like the white wing of prayer;
They kneel above the ancient hills,
As dong homage there.
The forest tops are lowly cast
O'er breezy hill and glen,
As If prayerful spirit passed
On nature as on men.
The sky is as a temple arch:
The blue and wavy ar
Is glorious with the spirii-march
OF messengers os rayer.
The gentle moon. the kindling sun.
The many stars are given,
As sHrines to burn earth's incense on
The altar-hres of heaven.

French Grant to the Atlantic TcIe.
graph Company.
New York, Aug. "a.

New York, Aug. "a.
We understand that tn" French Govern
ment has granted to the Atlantic Telegraph
Company the exclusive right for fifty years
to lard telegraph cables on the islands Of MI
quilon, which lie between Nova Scotia nd
Newfoundland in direction about 30 miles
distant from Sydney, Nova Scotia. Having
secured the right, it is proposed to run a
cable from Placentia Bay n. f., to St. Per
re, the chief fish depot of the island, and
thence to point near Sydney, Cape Breton
Nova Scotia. BY this means the two French
islands will be thrown into tclegraphic COM
municaton with Europe, while the company
will get rid of the necessity Of keeping in re-
pair some 400 or 800 miles of the land line
running across Newfoundland and Gaze Brc-
ton, through re.ons where there are no in
habltan,s S, excepting few scattered Indians,
and no roads other than those which have
been constructed by the Telegraph Company
at its own expense. In accordance with this
liberal grant, tie French Government doubt
less had in view the advantages it must con-
fer on its immense interests which centre at
st. Pierre, and which will thus be brought
into daily and almost instantaneous comm uni
cation with France.

Gardening ints for April.

If you have not attended to the operations
recommended for last month, make up at
once for the delay. Manure is a great in
sitution for the garden, therefore put it on
plentifuliy. Better put out only hall the
usual quantity, and do that well. than run
over a large garden but half prepared
Never pillow or stir your land when too wet.
Plant marrow.at peas On moderately rich
soil; if too rich. they run too much to leaf.
We plant two rows close together, say ten
inches apart, then for marrosfats, two more
rows four feet from these, and so on till we
get done. For lower growing kinds, from
81 to 8 feet is room enough between the
double rowe. Plant English Beans, Pars-
nips, Carrots, Smooth Long Blood Bets
for last three make the beds deep and rich;
better have one bed OF good ones than a
dozen poor ones. Plant Early Blood Turnlp
Beets in ten inch drills, and thin as wa nted
for use. Sow Cabbage seed of sorts, Satisfy,
Rhubarb, Parsley, and Early Turnips. After
the middle OF this month, plant Early Snap
(or DWARF Beans, Early Corn-Smith's
Early White, or Early Red-cob Sweet, is
best. Plant early Cucumbers on raised
hills, and about six feet apart each way
cover about one inch deep. Plant Early
Summer Squashes, and Sage for seasoning
Sausages next winter. Plant Potatoes
cover lightly when planted early, as they
come up quicker. Weed plants in hot bed.
Don't let your Tomato plants spindle up
before you transplant them in hot-bed, OF
course. Towards the last Of the month, you
may set out your cabbage plants in the open
ground. We generally set them in rows
wide enough apart to get between them
with horse and cultivator. After taking
your cabbage plants from the hot bed, ifyou
have any room to spare, SOW some Tomato
seed tor late crop, also Pepper and Egg Plant
If you want some Strawberries, now or
the first of May, is the very best time for
setting the plants. If set early and we'll,
they will bear a very small crop This year.
Select land as clear of weeds as any you
have; that which Is naturally rich, or made
: 60 with vegetable manure, is best. Animal
or mineral manure is no. good for the Straw
berry. If we were setting a large patch of
Strawberries, we would ;set them in rows,
three feet apart each way, and tend them
the first season with a horse and cultivator.
They will be thick enough the second year,
and you save a great many plants, and any
quantity of hoeing, by having them SO wide
as to tend with horse and cuItivator. We
doubt there being ary one in the State that
likes work wei enough to tend a large
patch of Strawberries peH, with the hoe.

3. As in planting corn, it pays TO do the
work well. Be careful not to plant too
deep; you must remember this.
4. Plant ss SOON as you do your corn, viz;
when your ground is well prepared and
warm.
8. You must not plant near broom corn,
durra, or any of this species, as it will n.y.
bridize with any of these plants, and thus
affect its sugar-producing quality.
6. Plant two rows, two and a half feet
apart, then leave a space of FIVE and a half
feet, and again, plant two rows, two and a
half feet apart. This facilitates cutting and
drawing, as the wider space allows room for
a team to pass, and four rows can be put on
the wagon as it is cut up, saving labor and
dirt, when the juice is to be expressed. IL
this is no object, plant in drills three and IA

Scenery of Belmont County.

To the Editor Of the Belmont Chronicle:
SrR-Our county is justly celebrated for
its beautiful natural scenery. No other
in the State can compare with il for beauty
and variety of landscape, and few counties
in any other State are ahead of it. This
should be looked upon as one of the most
valuable gifts which a lavish Nature has
bestowed apon us, and should be most care
h,Ny Of not sac' ediy) protected, and if pos
si6Ie improved. That its relation to our
mental and moral Improvement demands it,
every enlighted teacher in the world will
readily admit; yet it is a lamentable fact
that our scenery has, in many respects,
been miserably Il almost said vickedLy) de-
faced. In hopes that our farmers may have
their attention called to this subj c.. and
hereafter mend their ways, | will, by your
leave, make a suggestion or two.
First, could not a few trees be left to
crown the SUBMITS of our noble old hills!
Already We have nearly all our highest
hills bare of trees, which gives tie county
q bleak, repu!siye appearance. The far
mers seem to have a special haired of trees
on the hill tops, and often we find them
cutting them away, and leaving worse tim
Der in the better and mere accessible
ground. The soil is nearly worthless in
such places, and no scarcity of land can
plead an excuse for the mcrciless men OF
the axe. We have still q few hills LETT Gov
cred with trees of natures planting, and |
sincerely hope that they may be spared
Spare them, woodmen, spare them.
II wou ID also add much to our scenery
if tr, es were planted along tie sides of our
principal roads. This plan is highly prais-
ed in countries where the roads proceed in
variabiy at right angles with each other.
In our county, where the roads are seldom
straight. the effect of such trees on the
beauty of the scenery would be much great.
er. Rare varieties should be largely inter.
spersed among these. A specimen Of this
kind of road may be seen at the foot Of
Wheeling Hill, the work, | believe, of oul
enterprising friend, Charley Barnard. Let
all other landholders follow his example.
Our scenery could be further improved
by a greater display of taste around GU
farm houses. Plenty of paint, nea: fences
pretty flowers and shrubbery, rare trees
and a proper arrangement of buildings
walks and fences, would improve The ap
pearrnce of nineteen-twentieths Of ali :ht
country residences in Belmont county.
might also say a word for the benefit of my
town friends, if l had time, but this | will
leave for others. Our villages should b,
improved. We have not a village in gu
county that can lay any claim TO beauty
dkcep, that of situation. Nature has don,
nobly for them. but nature can't do much
OF towns, and in this county art has don,
little indeed. JOHN R. HARPER.
