Early Vegetables.

Many farmers. are deferred from at
tempting to produce very early vegetables
by an erroneous idea that the making of
a hot bed is complicated and difficult
operation while it is just as simple as
making hill of corn Every man who
has garden of whatever size, if he will
once try the experiment of making hot
bed, will, we venture to predict, 6nd the
task so easy and the result SO satisfactory,
that he willnever forego the luxury after
wards All that is necessary is to make
pile of horse manure q feet deep, with
the top level or sloping little to the
South, then set rough frame made of
Il four boards nailed together at the corners
upon khe bed of manure. fill the frame
with six inches of garden soil and cover
with window OF glass. Any old window
will answer the purpose, but it is better to
have the bars of the sash run only one
way, and to have the glass laid in the
manner of shingles
The best plants to force are tomatoes
and cabbages, which may be transpanteo
from the hot bed to the open ground with
out any trouble. We have removed to
matoes when they are in blossom, ant
thad them all live. If melons or cucum
bers are forced they should be planted IL
flower pots, and in transplanting them yo'
turn the pot over upon your open hant
and give it gentle thump, when the eartl
comes out in solid lump and the root
are not disturbed in the least. While tn
plants are growing they should be watere'
: frequently, and in warm days the sas
should be raised few inches to give tn
plants air. We have found the growini
:. of plants under glass, from a small no
bed. 4 feet by 6, up to large graper
for raising the black Hamburg and From
: tignac grapes, the most satisfactory of
, horticultural operations. Having tn
control of the climate both in heat an
, moisture, the plants can be made to gro
with vigor which they rarely if ever ez
hibit in the open air. A hot-bed shoul
be made from four to six weeks before th
time for planting corn.-Seient.fc Amae'

ed- nj sss nl9a hfss 49, oft .J =
the February Term, 1851, of the
sGBslmons Common Pleas, among the per-
!. aSons placed in the dock was Lee Allen.
(cclored, y, charged with burglary. The
accused wasa sprightly negro. aboat twen-
y.ons years Of age, who appeared TO be
Gdch. Interested in all the proceedings of
,rshs trial. ,aThe evidence disclosed the fact
that during the preceding November, he
had ;tbfoken into the store. house Of the
ic Msssfs.h Fawcett, at Belmont, and stolen
money and property to the value of eight
,tpr ten dollars; and there was no ''reason-
Gabis doubt"a that the offense had been
aSommitted in the might season." An
Ingenious, defense was urged before the
ojury;,butsths Office Of Prosecuting Attor-
;-ney of that. county was then, as now, ably
b6iied; guilty men did not often escape the
vigilance of D. D.. I. ,Cowen; and the
jury, after several hours of deliberation,
reformed verdict Of guilty.
When Lee was brought into court, on
the last dag qof the Term. to receive the
sentence required by law, he appeared
as. indeed, nearly 1all co8victs do-much
impressed with his helpless condition; but
he w3s; told that bis sentence would be fol
the shortest term the statute would allow,
i(tben three eyears,) and that hope was
ertsFtained that his conduct woald be
such thatsthe public might know that this
lenity had not been misdirected. Tht

"Do you remember tnat at Ct. OlalrS-
vile court, three years ago. colored boy
was sentenced to the Penitentiary for
breaking into Fawcett's store7"
"Certainly," I answered.
II am that boy; 1 am Lee Allen"
My observations during the trial, and
the Information which 1 obtained of his
early history at the time, led me to be-
lieve that young Allen was less intelli
gent than be now appeared to be. l soon
learned the cause of the change, however,
in his interesting account of prison life.
He seemed to be fully impressed with the
truth that man, whatever his situation
may be, has duties to perform which in
some respects are important; and that
this applies as well to the convict as to
the highest functionary in the land On
that principle he had acted, and by that
means escaped all punishment except that
which inevitably results from confinement
in prison, and moreover secured the
confidence of the officers, who he thinks
are nearly always humane in their treat
ment of the inmates. He also spoke III
praise OF the means of instruction afford
ed in the prison; of the regulation that a
days work shall not exceed ten hours; OF
the provision as to beds, clothing and
food, of the classification of the conviets
according to age anu crime; of the law
! which allowed compensation for overwork;
and of the act which provides, that for
every month convict shall be guilty o!
NO ineraction of discipline, five days shall
ment. Under the operation of those acts
the term of his Imprisonment was short
ened more than three months, aud the
Warden paid him twenty four dollars fol
overwork.
Sunday, it seems, is not generally re
garded as welcome day in the Peuiten
tiary, Service in the chapel and the sab
bath school relieve it of its gloom; ba
the convict passes the greater part of th'
day in his cell, and there is not a single
human being with whom he may convers'
in those lonely hours. He is not depriv
ed of books, however. Indeed, the mean
bof information are open to every one, ant
all the illiterate inmates who can learn
are instructed in reading, writing an'
arithmetic. When Lee entered the prison
he scarcely knew the alphabet; now h
can read and write with considerable ease
and add column of figures readily
The effect of bis moral training. too, wa
apparent. During the nine hours tha
we were on the road, l did not hear hir
use profane word.
Such was the apparent change in q
unlettered negro. Whether honest prir
ciples are really instilled in him, 1 kno
not. yet 1 certainly have no reason
doubt it. But the lesson suggested
my mind was, that while it is true thu
con6nement in the Penitentiary is ord
narily regarded as calamity, and viii
it almost necessarily involves disgrace an
also the loss of liberty and of the socies
of friends. the unfortunate offender is
no means deprived of the kind Offices
humanity; and mercy, even there, in son
measure, ''reconciles man to his lot."
