who smiled so much above his stomach, that I
was reminded of the beautiful lines
" AS some tall cliff that lift its awful form,
Swelis from the vale and midway leaves the storm
Though round its base c,nntry's ruin spread,
Eternal moonshne settles on its head.''
Upon going into supper room, my boy, / be-
held paradise of eatables that made me wish
myself knife and fork, with nothing but bot
tie of mustard to keep me company. There
were oysters Ia ttadam; Turkeys hrut-
ees; chickens Ia lMatsusaleh; beef la Bull Ran;
fruit a Ia st.miluke; jellies a Ia Kolaramo,Jus;
and ices a la ogmfts.
The ornamental confectionery was beautiful
ly symbolical of the times. At one end of the
table there was large lump of white candy,
with six carpet tacks lying upon it. This rep
resented the ssTax on Sugar" At the other.
end was large platter containing imitation
mud, in which two candy Brigadiers were SWIM
ming towards each other, with their swords be-
tween their teeth. This symbolized ''War."
These being very hard times, my boy, and
the Executive not being inclined to be too ex-
pensive in its marketing, most ingenious ex-
pedient was adopted to make it appear that
there were just twice as much of certain costly
delicaces ON the table as there really was. A.
bout the centre of the table lay large mirror,
and on this was placed a few expensive dishes
OF course the looking glass gave them doub-
lie effect. For instance, if there was pound
of beefsteak ON the plate, it produced another
pound in the glass and the effect was twopounds.
When economy can be thus artistically ben-
ded with plentitude my boy, money ceases to
be king, and butchers bills dwin dle Hereafter,

WORK IN THE GARDEN FOR MARCH,

SOWING ASPARAGUS SEED-This seed may
be sown about the middle, or towards the hat
ter end of this month, on four feet wide beds Of
rich earth. Sow it tolerably thin on the SUR
face, clap it in with the back of spade, cover
it little better than half an inch deep with
earth out of the alleys, and then rake the beds
smooth. ,oeiab
SowING BEET SEED.--For this porpose make
choice of piece of rich deep ground; lay it
out into four feet wide beds, push the loose
earth into the alleys, then sow the seed tolera-
bly, thin and COVERT with the earth out Of these
alleys to about three-quarters of an inch deep.
Or let drills be drawn with hoe, near an inch
deep, and foot or little more asunder; drop
the seeds thinly therein and cover them over
the same depth as above. Or you may sow
the seed on a piece of ground, rough after be-
ing dug, and rake it well in. eaW s'88z7
ONIoN.-Ihere are various methods Of SOW
ing seed; but first | will give you the one prac-
tised by the most iudicious and careful garden
ers.
As you proceed in digging the ground rake it
well after you; that being done lay it out into
three and half, or four feet wide beds, with
alleys between of about foot wide then with
the back of the rake push off the light loose
earth from Tue Top OF elcn Ded III tne aleys,
one half to the one side, the other to the oppo-
site; this done, and being provided with good
seed, sow it thereon at the rate of one pound
for every sixteen rods, and with shovel cast
the earth out of the alleys over the beds, COW
.ering the seeds evenly about half an inch deepi
then rake the beds lightly, drawing off all the
Jumps into the alleys
When the plants are up let them be kept
very clean and free from weeds of any kind by
a good careful hand-weeding which is to be re-
peated, from time to time, as they require it;
and where they grow too close thin them to a.
bout two inches plant from plant, all over the
beds; by these means you will have excellent
onions for the table the first year. ass
Sowing seed to produce small seed onions,.
will answer better in .4prl, which see, lfsown
in this month, they would generally grow to
too large size for that purpose.
SOWING PARSLEY Parsley seed may be
sown in single drill along the edge OF the
quarters or borders of the garden; it will make
a useful and also neat cdging, if not suffered to
grow rank, especially the curled parsley; or if
large supplies are wanted for market, it may be
sown in continued rows nine inches asunder, or
upon the general surface, trod down and raked

THE LADY PRESIDENTS BALL.
BY ELEANOR G. DoNNELLY.

''The lights in the Presidents mansion,
The gas-lights CHEEKY and red,
| see them glowing and glancing,
AS toss on my wearisomc bed:
see them flooding the windows,
And, star-like, gemming the hall,
Where the tide of fashion flows inward
To the Lady Presidents Bali.
"Nfy temples are throbbing with fever,
My limbs are palsied with pain,
And the crash of that fcstal music
Burns into my aching brain
Till rave with delirious fancies
And coffin, and bier, and pail,
Mix up with the flowers and laces
Of my Lady-Prcsidcnts Ball.
''What matter that |, poor private,
lie here on my narrow bed
With the fever gripping my vitals,
And doing my hapless head?
W nat matters that nurses are caioils,
And rations meagre and small,
So long as the Jeau monte revel
At the Ladv-P Presidents Ball.
''Who pities my poor old mother
Who comforts my sweet young wife
Alone in the distant city,
With sorrow sapping their life
/ have no money to send them,
They cannot cosae at my cali;
No money! vet hundreds are wasting
AT my Lady Presidents Ball!
''IIundreds-ah! hundreds Of thousands
In satins, jewels and wine,
French dishes for dainty stomachs,
CNhie the black broth sickens mincO
And iellies, and fruits, and cold ices,
And fountains that flash they fail,
O God! for cup of cold water
From the Lady-Pfesident's Ball
''Nurse bring me my uniform ragged
IIa! why did you blow out the light7
Help me up--though Pm aching and giddy,
must go to my dear ones to-night
Wife! mother! grown weary with waiting;
Tn coming! I'll comfort We all!'
And the private sank dead while they revelc
At my Ladv-P Presidents Ball

GA good Methodist minister at the West,
who lived on a very small salary, was greatly in
trouble at one time to get his quarterly install
ment. He had called on the steward number
of times, but had each time been put off with
some excuse. His wants at length becoming
urgent, he went to his steward and told him that
he must have his money, as his family was suf.
fering for the necessaries of life.
''Moneyl' replied the steward, "You preach
for money! thoaght that You preached for the
good of souls!"
''Souls" replied the minister; 81 can't eat
souls, and if could, it would take thousand
such souls as yours to make decent meal!"

SOME improvements have been made IN the
old rat-trap sidewalks about town, but not
enough to be hardly worthy Of mention, We
notice that some people are endeavorIng to
patch up their old rotten board walks. This
is waste Of time and money and will not an
swer the law The walks must be made
strong and safe, and when they are worn out,
broken, or partly burned, they must be re-
built. II people do not 90 about IT immedi'
ateIy after receiving notice from the ward su.
peryisors, then the supervisor il authorized
TO build the walk and sue the owner or occu-
pant Of the lot for the expense. The law is
ample to meet every emergency, and if the
walks about town are not made decent it will
be the fault Of the ward supervisors. At
present the walks generally are u disgrace to
the town
