Amateur Kitchen Gardening.

One of the primary objects of macy in
gardening is the securing of fruits and
vegetables for the table, leaving flowers
and embellishments as a secondary consi-
deration. Without doubt for large class
of people whose ground is limited and
means small, this is by no means prac-
tice to be condemned. Luscious fruit and
wholesome vegetables come under the
category OF necessities in the animal eco
nomy, while flowers are luxuries, but such
as all classes can enjoy, without in any
way infringing on the former, provided
proper care is used in allotting to each its
proper sphere.
We propose devoting a little space to
the consideration of the kitchen garden,
as the time will soon come when active
preparations will be going on in this
quarter. In no case it is advisable to
commence before the ground is sufficiently
dry to admit of the necessary operations
without in any way forming the soil into
a paste, while at the same time on dry
land, there is no reason why it should be
delayed on the contrary, the sooner the
first crop can be taken off the ground, the
more chance there is in getting in a Sec
ond one to take its place A garden pre-
supposes extra care and attention, as
compared to field culture, and should be
made to give corresponding Increase of
produce, but to do which higher degree
of fertility is requisite, and indeed for
many crops this is otherwise desirable, as
the quicker the growth, the finer the fla
vor. One of the means by v hich this is
assisted is rotation of crops, so that the
soil does not become so exhausted of the
special elements required by particular
crop.
A simple and very good rotation is to
allow no two varieties of the same family
as the Brassica Cabbage family), for
instance, to occupy the same piece of land
two successive seasons. The Legumes
(peas and beans), root crops, parsnips,
carrots, and beets, in the same way. The
soil, lightest and freest from manure
should be selected for the potatoes, as
here, although perhaps not quite so many
in bulk may be obtained, will come those
freest from disease and purest flavor.

Good Example.

Victoria's daughter. albeit the Princess
Royal of England, exercises daily in the
open air, and in bad weather wears boots
quite masculine, as will appear from the
following, among her bridal presents: e1
The trouSSeau of the Princess Royal, al
though in amplitude worthy of respect of
so important an occasion, is remarkable
for the substantial utility Of the articles
composing it. The observation is more
especially apphcated to the chGuSsures Of
her Royal Highness, which, although
comprising some twelve dozen pair Of
boots, are in every instance useful and
solid. Some Of them, intended for rough
walking, are provided with treble soles;
and small but projecting nails! s77-o
An American girl is 'too feiHe" to
wear boots in muddy weather. The con-
sequence is, that she never exercise .un-
less the weather is beauuful-lives near
hot furnaces and in warm rooms, and BY
the time she is twenty-six she has liter
ally passed away all beauty with which
she has been gifted by kind Providence.
There is no reason why the women
should not exercise daily in the open air
as well as men. 1t is so practiced IN
England, even by the royalty.

Rustic APbOPS.

There is no way in which the farmer or
his son can spend few leisure hours more
pleasantly and profitably thanin construct
ing a simple and tasteful arbor, in some
retired nook of the garden. 1t is very
easily and cheaply done, and in no way
can you contrive to please the wife and
daughters, or the mother and sisters, than
by an enterprising effort to form a
charming leafy retreat of this kind. In
deed, they will lend you every assistance
and you will do well to consult them in
regard to how and where you shall build
it, for women naturally have better taste
than men, and generally know what is
appropriate and in good keeping about a
house. You may build rustic arbor out
of almost any material at hand. even out
of hazel brush and straw. Where it can
be obtained they are made of cedar poles,
undoubtedly the very best material. Yet
we do not like these cedar arbors half
as well as those made from the burr oak,

Pride is found in rags as well as in
feathers, lace and furs. We should be
cautious how we accuse our neighbors
N'ith this failing. Look into your minds
and analyze this sentiment, you will find
that it grows out of that very feeling
which you so much condemn in others,
and is thus ditfused through community.
There is probably as much pride in the
uniformity of dress among the Quakers,
as there is in the splendid decorations of
other denominations but the former
have this advantage, that this uniformity
prevent the contagion of the sentiment
among themselves, which engenders hat
red and dislike among others. Thus, we
should discourage a feeling which only
lays the foundation of i'll will among
neighbors and friends, and only amounts
to this, at last; the difference between
green and blue-between the skin Of q
bear and the skin of an ermine.

Cranes as House Plants.

plants, and the suggestion strikes US fa-

who ca2not consent to grow anything
which does not furnish food for the sto-

''cluttering up" their rooms with gera-
niums, roses and lilies, that is all folly
Now, let such persons try a grape vine
at their south window. Plant in a large
pot or neatly painted box, and train the
vine on wires stretched across the window
frame. We can conceive that such a
plant would satisfy the sense of beauty
and utility at the same time, and that in a
high degrees 1t would be the finest or
nament of the house; and as for the fruit
