Preparation for winter is all that can now
be done here. Let roots OF different sorts
be taken up at orce, and stored where they
can he most conveniently got for Use. Pars'
nips and satisfy, or oyster plant, are better
left in the ground until towards spring
Bury cabbages in trenches up to thcis
leaves, and protect with the best covering
you can command, put upon forks just high
enough to admit the circulation OF air
ASPARAGUS EEps.--Clear these of tops
and weeds, give dressing Of salt sufficient
to whiten the ground pretty well, and then
cover up well with luanure, that may be
iorked IN ,he spring
CsIERx.-Finish the earthlhs Up of ccle-

straw sufficient to keep out frost, throwing

weather.
CABBAGE AND LETTUCE PLANTs.-Hthese
are in frames, give them plenty of air in
mild weather. 1t in open beds, give them
protection by a covering Of brush laid on
frame work, which will admit the circula-
lion of air.
Early PoTAToEs.--Potatoes put in the
ground and well covered with straw or
coarse litter, will nc quite secure from frost,
and come earlier than the spring planting.
FRUIT GARDEN.-lIardy fruits may all be
now planted, if the soil be dry. The ground

Grape vines may be planted now, or they
may be obtained from the nursery and pre-

. The NEW ERICssot CUN.-lt has been
known for some time, among select few
in naval circles, that Captain Ericsson has
been getting up a new gun to surpaas any
thing vet known in effectiveness. One Of
them has been undergoing tests at the navy
yard ana down the bay, which proved en-
tirely successful. 1t is 13-inch wrought
iron piece, weighs Il little over "a 900 pounds,
and was severely tested with IS pounds of
powder burning UP every grain, and rem.
dering the l3-inch solid round shot invisible
to the ordnance officer, who could not trace
its progress. L. ID presumed it Travelled
about eight miles. Around the breeching
it is about 30 inches thick, and if it meets
the anticipations of some naval officers it
sill reyolutionize naval ship building.

BEHAVIOR IN SocIELY.-If your language
be good, your knowledge creditable, your
personal appearance devoid of eccentricity,
and if you have learned to avoid making
yourself "conspicudus," there is no reason
why you should rot be firm and assured
anywhere. 10 not Yex youself with thoughts
OF interiosity, but "be yourself to yourself"
and a little familiarity with the world will
soon teach you the absurdity OF timidity.
Ease rapidly brings grace, if any effort what
ever be made td say and do kindly things
in a Cheerful and cOntliatory way.
Exercise your attentions and your thoughts
when in company. II you find that bashiul-
ness aud embarrassment, without cause, oc-
casionaily intlct you in society, Danish them
by finding something to do or say forthwith,
Do not stop TO argue with yourself, but act
promptly.
