farmers Libraries.

Ministers, lawyers, and teachers, are gen
orally well provided with books. They would
not feel competent to discharge their duties
were they not continually gathering informa-
ton, and their employers would not place
confidence in them, did they not think they
were masters ola large amount ofbook knowl-
edge But what need has the farmer of books
beyond his Bible and Almanac! His duty is
to labor as hard as his strength will admit,
and when he has done his work for the day
he will be tired enough to go to bed, without
nodding over book written by some idle
person who is too lazy to work.
Such has been the feelings Of the mass Of
cultivators of the soil, but it is now, happily,
changing. No man needs good library
more than farmer He has profession
that as really requires study to master it as
the lawyers or teachers. There is hardly
branch OF natural science that will not con-
tribute greatly to his benefit lie also needs
books upon horses, and cattle; the manage
mcnt of the dairy the care of bees: the prop
cr way to raise apples, pears, and other fruits;
the treatment of different soils, etc. ~.
In addition to these, the farmer should
have books of literature, history, and travels.
He will be as much interested and benefited
by their perusal as any one. The money
spent in purchasing reasonable number of
books, and the time spent in their study
will not be lost knowledge will give abili-
ty to increase the income of his farm and
will elevate his standing in the community.
A farmers family, also, need the means of
improvement found in well assorted library,
and its influence will be felt in their moral
and intellectual advancement, and increasing
their love of home. 1t may be thought by
some that the expense cannot be afforded;
but if few are purchased at time, in few
years library Of a hundred 81 more valuable
volumesmay be gathered, which will be worth
more than the same number of dollars at in

Gardening for Women.

There is nothing better for wives and
daughters, physically, than to have the care
Of = rarlen-a flower pot, if nothing more.
What IS pleasanter than to spend portion
Of every passing day in working among
nlanfs md watching the growth Of shrubs,
and trees, and plants, and to observe the
opening Of flowers from week to week as the
season advances? Then how much it adds
to the enjoyment to know that your own
hands have planted and TILED them, and
have prnned' and trained thern-ths is a
Measure that requires neither great riches nor
profound knowledge. The humble cottage
Of the laboring poor, not less than their
grounds. may be adorned with pet plants,
which in due time will become redolent OF
rich r,erfnme, not less than radiant with
beauty: thus min;stering to the love OF the
beautiful in nature.
The wife or daughter that loves home and
would, seek ever to make ii the best place
for husband and brother, is willing to forego
some sossipping morning calls, for the sake
Of having leisure for the cultivation of plants

The lowest utilitarianism would labor only
for the meat that pcrisheth. Those OF high
er and more noble views, would labor with
no less assiduity for the substantial things
of life, but would in addition seek also those
things which elevate and refine the mind and
exalt the soul. E
The advantage which woman personally
derives from stirring the soil and snuffing the
morning airarc freshness and beauty of check
and brightness of eye, cheerfulness oftemper,
vigor of mind, and purity of heart. Consc-
quently she is more cheerful and lovely, as a
daughter, more dignificd and womanly as a
sister, and more attractive and confiding as a
wife.
Hence the fruits and products of a garden
culture, as they relate to woman, when viewed
are but small, relatively, as COM
pared with the benefits secured in regard to
herself as the centre of soca! refinement and
enjoyment, amid such world as ours. A
husband who revolves round such centre
can not but be good ncighbor, useful cit
izcn a kind father, loving and confiding
companion. Do not, then, mothers and Sis
tiers, the latter wives in prospect, neglect the
garden. Ohio Farmer. - @'s

If YOU invest money in tools, and then

same as, loaning money to spcndthrift
without sccurity-a dead loss in both cases.
you invest money in books and never

money into bank, but never drawing the
principal OF interest.
Ifyou invest your money in fine stock,
and do not feed and protect them, and pro-
pcrly care for them, it is the same as dress
ing your wife in silk to do the kitchen work.
If you invest your money in choice fruits,
and do not guard and give them a chance to
grow and prove their value, it is the same as
putting good hand into the field with poor
tools to work with
If you invest your money in a good farm,
and do not cultivate it we'll it is the same as
marrying good wife, and so abusing and
enslaving her as to crush her energies and to
break her heart.
If you invest your money in fine house,
and do not so cultivate the mind and taste, as
to adorn it with intelligence and refinement
is as if you were to wear broadcloth and a
silk hat to mill
If YOU invest your money in fine clothes,

it is as ifa plowman were to sit at jeweler's
table, to make and adjust hair springs.

Ten Acres near Cincinnati.

There would be no difficulty in being able
to make living in the country If one had
means for the purchase of ten acres of ground,
with suitable buildings already erected there
on. But to do this he must make up his
mind to be industrious, and throw aside all
false pride. If it becomes necessary, in the
practice of rigid economy, for him to do his
own marketing, he must not shrink from the
task The taking Of fruit or vegetables to
market will not detract from his manhood,
nor should he forfeit his own self-respect
thereby. ...zz.
With ten acres of fertile ground, and COM
Portable buildings thereon, (and the distance
from the city not more than five miles,) we
see nothing to prevent ones enjoying as
much happiness and living as comfortably as
heart could wish.
The ground selected should be all suitable
for the plough, ana be divided into compart-
ments something as follows:
Two acres should be laid off around the
buildings to be planted 70 fruit trees, and
used for a lawn, and part of same for yards
for the use of the horse, COW and chickens.
The chicken yard to be enclosed with high
picket fence.
The remaining eight acres may be all in
one CnClOSuTc, UuI OniuSu iiito louS SVAiA-
partmcnts Of one acre each. TO begin farm
ing operations, devote these compartments
to the following uses:
No. 1. Plant out to potatoes early in March
No. 2. Devote to cabbage. ~
No. 8. Sow down thickly with timothy
mixed with little red clover.
No. 4. Sow down wholly to red clover
No. 5. Plant Strawberries. -.s .-.
No. 6. Plant raspberrics.
No. 7. Plant blackberries.
No. s. Devote to various garden vegetables
not forgetting to grow some carrots for the
COW and horse.
Arotaton Of crops should be seen to in
succeeding years At the end of two years
the clover sod should be ploughed up, and
the ground put down to potatoes, and other
changes made as good judgment might die
tate. :,
In this arrangement for farming ona small
scale, it would be expected that the three
Commandments devoted to small fruits, (straw-
berries, raspberrics and blackberrics,) would
give the largest returns. Two other COM
partmcnts, those planted to cabbage and po-
tatocs, would probably aid materially in fur

A Speech from the President.

President Lincoln recently addressed
the Scventy-6rst regiment, at the Navy
Yard in Washington, after passing them
in review. The President said: > !
That he was very glad that they had not
come throug Oh Baltimore. TWAS the wish
Of the government that they should not,
and although he knew the sentiments of
tho mon upon this subject, he thought the
course they bad pursued, and which the
government had decided upon, the very
best which could have been adopted,
The government felt assured; and the
events Of the last few days justified that
assurance, that in short time Baltimore
would be one of the most Union loving and
Union defending cities in the county
This they might rely upon and expect. It
was only question Of time, and Of very
short time. At Vera Cruz the General in
command was asked how long time he
wanted to capture the city. He replied
that it could be captured in six hours, at
a cost of twenty-five thousand lives, or it
could be captured in three weeks, without
q single life being sacrificed: The Gener-
al was, allowed to take his three weeks, and
Vera Cruz became ours without the loss Of
q single life. So it might be possible to
force troops through Baltimore Immediately
by the loss Of MANY lives, but he preferred,
with the General referred to, to give Balti-
more its three weeks and accomplish the
same object, if it were desired, peaceably
and quietly. ,T0'1:i%1
