DIRECTING 'EN-A sailor, who had
been for several years on a foreign sta
ton, and had hardly ever been on shore,
asked leave to have a trip by land, and
proceeded to Adverstoke. where for the
first time he witnessed funeral. When
he returned on board at night, be could
talk of nothing but what be had seen in
the ehurch-yard. "Why. what dye
think they does with the dead corposes
ashore?" Glow should l know?" said
the other. "Why, then, Bill, may ]

Kitchen Gardening.

AsPARAous.-It is fine thing for this
plant to nave rich beds Of soil and ma
nurs, two feet deep. for the roots to run
in. But one great reason that asparagus
does not grow larger is, the plants are
placed too thickly together in the bed.
Rows foot part will not answer-they
should be two feet at least.
Any one may satisfy himself on this
point BY planting two beds as follows:
One to be two feet deep, with soil and
manure well mixed together, and the rows
Q foot apart and the other richly ma
nured soil one foot deep, with the rows
two and half feet apart In four years,
the latter will furnish altogether the lar
gest stalks. But if the bed is both deep
and the plants far apart, the stalks will
be larger than either.
The nearest possible distance admissi-
bic is foot in the row. In a trenched
bed four feet wide, only two rows should
be ALLOW two feet apart, and the plants
alternati mot opposite. thus giving
more space between them as in the fol-
lowih diagram

A PRoFANE SwEARER NoNPLUssED.-
In Schoharie County, New York, there
lives a man whose addiction to profane
swearing is such, that his name has be-
come by-word and reproach; but by
some internal thermometer, he so gradu-
ates his oaths as to make them apply to
the peculiar case in hand-the greater the
mishap or cause for anger. the stronger
and more frequent the adjurations. His
business is that of a gatherer of ashes.
which he collects in small quantities, and
transports in an OK cart. Upon a recent
occasion, having by dint of great labor
succeeded in filling his vehicle, he start
ell for the ashery, which stands on the
brow of steep hill; and it was not I'M
til be reached the door, that he noticed,
winding its tortuous course down the
long declivity, line of white ashes.
while something short of a peck remain
ed in the cart THE dwellers by the
way side. and they that tarried there"
had assembled in great force, expecting
an unusual mathematical display. Tur-
ming, however, to the crowd, the unfor-
tunate man heaved sigh, and simply
remarked" Neighbors. it's no use; I
can't do justice 10 the sugeetP'

To RAISE EARLY CUcUMBERs.-Place
pieces of inverted turf Just beneath the
surface Of the soil in q hot bed, and ''on
these plant the seed. As soon as the time
for Spring frosts has passed. lift out care
fully the pieces of turf with the growing
plants. and place them in high-manured
ground. where they are to complete their
growth. No check is given to their
growth by this removal. Ifthere appears
afterwards any probability of night
frost, cover them well with a bell glass.
Cucumbers have been thus raised for the
table by the first Of Summer.
EARLY LETTUcE.-The cheapest and
best way to have very early lettuce, is to
SOW the seed early in Autumn, in very
rich ground. and protect the young plants
during Winter with frame and strong
glass. If light is not admitted. the let
tuce will die. The white head lettuce is
best for this purpose.
If few of the plants are set in hot.
bed in the Spring. they will come forward
very rapidly-but without the hot-bed, the
crop will be as early as in hot-bed with
the usual management.
MELONS AND CUcUNBERs.-A common
error is to plant the hills too closely-six
feet apart is about the right distance.
Another. is too many plants in hill. A
dozen will do till they are beyond the
reach of "the bugs" but never more than
three after the runners start. Goblet
used to say, "You will have more cucum-
bers from one plant in hill than from
two; more from two than from three
and SO on till you get up to fifty, when
you will have none at all J"
Millinet boxes are the best security
against bugs.
Remember that high and heavy manu-
ring is very important for these crops
and let all the manure be thoroughly mix
ed up with the soil One of the heaviest
crops ever raised, was watered every al
ternate day with liquid made of the
cleansing Of the henroost mixed with wa
ter, and soaked until the water fermented
Half pint was poured on each hill at
tins. and the offensive odor drove away
nearly all the bugs.
EARLY PoTAroEs.-By sprouting seed
potatoes about two inches long in warm
place. early in Spring before planting.
taking care not to break the sprouts in
covering, the writer has had potatoes four
to six inches high. by the time that 9TH
ers came up. planted III the usual way
without the sprouts being started and
they have maintained this advantage till
maturity.
Flat TURSlPs.-The difficulty of OBJ
tanning fine crops of this root, on clayey
soils, has often been noticed. A neighbor
succeeds finely in all cases by the follow
ing mode: He spreads old straw over the
surface. and burns it, which destroys the
insects, improves the soil, and gives it
coating of ashes; then sows his seed.
A good crop always results. A good
crop of turnips may often be had, with
almost no cost, by sowing the seed among
potatoes, at the time the latter receive
their last hoeing.

It is a well known and incontrovertable fact
that the use of Tobacco is she promoting cause
Of many of the most severe
Mental and Physical Disorders,
to which the race of man is subject, as careful
analysis and long and painful experience have
clearly proven that it contains certain narcotic
and poisonous properties most dangerous in their
effects, which by entering into the blood, de-
range the functions and operations of the heart,
causing many to suppose tl.at organ to De seri-
ously diseased.
Tobacco affects also the entire nervous sys-
TEN, manifestins itself-as all who have ever
used the noxious weed will bear testimony-in
Lassitude, Nervous Irritability, Water Brash,
Dyspepsia, and many disorders of similar
character.
The Taste Restorative TToehes
are designed to counteract these bancful infu-
ences, and have proven completely successful in
in a multitude Of cases, and wherever used
Being harmless in themselves, they exert ben

irritation and the accompanying tickling sensa-

Persons who are irretrievably undermining
their constitutions and shortening their lives,
should use these Troches Immediately and throw

A wicked one lies buried here,

He's thin as any srisveT;

One thing Of him is said with truth,
With which I'm mneh smusei:
II is, that when he stood, fos Doth,
A stick he always used.
Now, Winding-sheets he sometimes made,
But this was not enough;
For, fnding it a PoOdsh trade,
He always dealt in sngG.
fs'er yOu said, 'Go out, pray"
He much ill-uature showed;
On such occasions be would say-
''vy, i'll DO, I'm bowed"
In this his friends DO al agree,
AhhOogb you think I'm joking:
When goisg cat, Ills said that he
Was very fond Of smoking.
Since all religion he dsspised,
Let these few words suffice:
Before he ever was baPtised,
They dipped him snee OF twice.

1t is curious to think for how long a
period the world continued to transact its
business without coined money. The an
Gent Egyptians had no coin there is no
allusion throughout the Old Testament
to coin as having been used by the He
brews: nor in all of Homer is it spoken
of. For at least three thousand years men
lived and toiled, bought and sold, with
out using a piece Of coined money.

SCARLET FEvER.-The happiest effects
have resulted from washing the patient in
weak I've. which feels slippery to the fin
gers. 1t is best to begin in time, when
the fever or redness first appears, and
with a cloth or sponge, apply it all over
the child every few hours; but if the fe.
yer has got up; it should be repeated ev-
cry FIVE minutes, till the heat abates. A
child was getting better under this treat
ment, but his nurse observed in the night
that he was again very hot; she washed
him all over, and in a few minutes every
trace of the fever left him. He felt cool,
slept comfortably until morning, and had
no return of it. Even bathing the feet
in weak lye has very soothing effect.

enough it did come. Its costiveness was
felt throughout the land, but the bravery
of General Jackson expiated the Ameri-
