This week is To be signallZed by series OF puohc
exhibitions stauesque, pictorial, botanical, pomo-
logical, profsne, piOus, vocal, instrumental, orn'
biological, oratoricsl, civil military multiform and
omniyorous. at the Palace Garden, in aid of new
project, whereby fathercss and motherless girls
will be- taught Horticulture practically and scien-
tifcally-taught on piece of ground already given
by a generous lady, aud only needing buildings and
adornments to put the theory in practice-on
piece of ground on Long Island, forty miles from
the CITY, tangent to the railroad, and commanding
for It's products the swift sales and fat prices OF
the City markets The advertisement of this scheme
will fully explain its details-of how on one night
one man will talk English, and on another night
another man will sing German; of how the
Brooklyn rhetoric of the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
will be succeeded BY the Vienncse Non pin andrai
of Herr Formes; of how one night Mr.. Grow
of Pennsylvania will discourse on Lsnd for the
Landless; and on another Of how the Seventy first
Regiment will show that military spurs can be
mixed with cIin0ne and no tears follow; of how
these trsnscendental junketiDgs in aid of the poor
and unhappy will be deliberately jolly and seduct-
lively instructive; Of how they will be kept up May
(to-nisht) 10, II, ~, 10, II and I6-the object
always the same but the attraction varied. The
orators are all warranted; but We do hope that
one of them will make breakdown, just by way
Of variety, for too much consecutively displayed
talent 10 like too much linked sweetness long
drawn out in treacle diet.
Our heavy man finishes this article, the sub
ect, in his opinion, demanding more sober treat
ment He lays down the subject under heads:
l. One-half of mankind is womankind Cor ought
to be-
H. All women if not married, or before they get
married, have to support themselves not unfre-
quently.
Ill A womans dress should be handsome, and
during the age Of coquetry, which lasts sometimes
sixty years, she has to dress particularly well, and
that costs money: and her board and lodging re-
quire as much as mans
" Notwithstanding these scintillating facts, the
occupations she is permttedte I'll few, and the
reward Of her labors scant-not half or a fourth Of
what man gets-and, speculations thrown in, not
hundredth or thOusandth part.
V. It's the duty, therefore, of those who love JUS
tice and mercy aud the sex, to diversity womanly
tolls and increase womanly reward.
VI 1t is the best reward where health and Pc
cuniary profit are combined; aud certainly the
dainty ofruits and flowers under the hesltbful
heavens, is one of the sweetest occupations the
sex could indulge in.
VII. But this cannot be pursued in disorderly
or illogical manner. 1t requires instruction, com.
bnation, cooperation. The scheme in question
aims at these. 1t seeks 10 form complete horti-
cultural school and home for orphan girls, where,
under the supervision aud featuring of a scientific
and practical gardener and the care Of matron,
they may learn all that is required to render them
mistresses Of the art as we'll as of domestic econ
Omy, and thereby profit TO the extent of having an
excellent profession-eIcellent as regards remun-
Grafton, health and independence-and BE- good
housewives as well. That the public will be reused
TO assist generously the object cannot be doubted
considering It's eligibility and the nature of the
festival in its favor continued so deliberately through
this week up to Monday next.
