The Family Sewing Machine
BY JENNIk JUNE.

Machine, and the happy changes which il has
ttfected In the So "a. and family relations, one
must be familiar with the quiet households
scattered Throughout the + lsG aad " est, he
North and South, of this great and thriving
country.
Every where in the interior domestic assist
ance of any kind is so difficult TO be obtained,
that 1t is scarcely looked for. and every good
housewife relies upon her own exertions, not
only to keep her house In order, her harder
we'll supplied with the essential luxurIes of
home made bread, cake, and pies, but her own,
the chl.drens, and frequently her husbands
wardrobe furnished with all the useful, If not
the ornamental, articles OF dress.
This necessity provided an immense amount
OF work for one pair of hands to perform-the
female head Of the house, the hard taskcd wife
and mother, found not u moment for relaxa-
tion. The drudgery OF the kitchen was sue
ceeded by that OF the work basket, whose pile
OF shirts and small garments seemed never 10
decrease. Not a moment of time could os
afforded tor the qualification of any simple
fancy, even In ornamental neediework, all 10

In d large number of these households the

The great Washington door for the new cap
tol at Washington is being finished at the
Ammes works in Chicopee, where two entire
years have already been spent upon it Many
of the panels already completed, and the work
is progressing as fast as its peculiar compiexity
will allow. Designed by the lamented Craw-
ford, Just previous to his death, il was his thet
d euurs. Had be survived, undoubtedly The
contract for casting would have gone to Munich.
like its predeces the Columbus historic door,
such was bis prejudice against hi country in
this respect.
The massive door has eight panels. four on
side, emblamatic respectively OF peace and war.
On the side devoted to peace, commencing -
the bottom, is group of Washington and bis
family, representing the peaceful condition OF
the country at the close of the Revolutionary
ruggle. Next above is the ovation at Trenton
then scene representing the administration
of the oath of othce-and crow: ing this section
is the laying of the corner-st2ne of the capitol
building
The war side has first panel symbolizDg the
stern ideal of deadly strife-a British grenader,
fully armed, attacking peaceful farmer a
rude log caDln, whose sinewy arm has already
sent him reeing 70 the ground, while the sta
wart yeomAn's wife is seen handing her bus
band MS trusty tirelock, in case NJ should need
il. Above this is the Bayonet Charge at Tren
ton-tnen the ReOuke OF Zen. Lee by w ash
ington, at Monmouth-an final y the Death of
Gen. Warren.
The panel representing the reprimand of
Gen Lee is most striking and life-like scene.
Washington had always, it seems. suspected
Lee Of disioy atty, and on this occasion, found
that he had not only failed utterly to carry out
bis express orders. but had actually ordered and
commenced q most cowardly retreat. Washing
ton is seen as having ridden rapidly to where he
meets Les under tree, and rising in the stir
rupS of his saddle, adminst rebuke that
droops traitors head as much as Lees militia
ry salute TO his chirfttin mas MS sword. 1t i
said that This the only instance IN which
/ " Washington ever known TO Use language
even bordering on profanity.
/ The singular thing about this particular pane
Is that JEFF Davis was one of the Commissioner r
to examine CraWford's designs for this historic
and conspicuous piece o.; work for the new cap
itol-the wonder being that he, or any southern
man should have consented to embiaz3n tli>
wltherng shame one OF the chIvalric su-s OF
the South. Vet so Il is-and let the sympa-
thizers with his flung representative, in the
person Of Robert h. Lee, remember the proph-
eoy OF the panel and It's historic verihcauon to-
Gay.

Horticulture I'm Greece.

The modern Greeks fall far behind their an
ce-tors in skill in gardening, # the following
sketch from Chamber Journal is not too high
ly colored
Experience proves what might otherwise be
attributed TO the fancy, that the soil OF Attca Is
so sweet that everything planted in it acquires
an additional delIcacy OF flavor. Thus, pear
trees transplanted from Malt4 to the gardens of
Maronsi, village about SIX miles from Athens,
not only produce more delicious pear, but be-
gin TO bear the very first season. Ii such he
the case new, when gardening can hardly be
said to be studied at all IN the domlnlons OF the
Young Danish king, what must 1t have been OF
old, when the most practised, skiful AID stu
dious OF gardeners exhausted their ingenuity In
the attempt to please the paates OF their fastid-
ious countrymeD-
We have said that the grounds of the Athe-
MAN gentleman were devoted partly TO flowers,
partly to vegetables, and partly to trees {; but
there was a peculiar order in the arrangement
by which, what was beautiful brought I'M
medlately under the eye.while that which mere
iy mlnistered to utility was fenced OH, and
screened from obsery alton 10y copse of agnus,
Cactus, Or the rhododendrons, or myrtle, or ole
ander, which. at the proper periods of the year,
extended a blaze of blossoms between the kltch-
en- garden and the floral department.
something of Oriental tastes and manners con-
tiuued to prevail down to very late period
the windows OF the female apartments were
usually turned toward the garden, SO that, shad-
ed by amber or purple hangings, they could
lean on the siils or marble or carved cedar, and
gaze forth 10 the cool of the morning, upon the
bouquets of aroutus, the broad waves OF
pear, apple and pomegraDate blossoms, which
led the eye toward the foot of Hymettus, the
home of the Attic bee, or down to The banks
of the Illissus, shaded by plane trees, and dot
ted at intervals by cupolas of white marble,
which glittered like newly carved aiabaster IN
the sun.
And here we may as well notice trait of
Athenian manners, winch wifi be thought to re-
fleet some credit on the enterpr.sing and grasp
ing Demas, as the men of Dorion blood we're
wont to denominate it. SO little fear had gen.
tiemen that their gardens would be piundered
by the people, that footpaths often trsversed
their orchards, their vineyards, and their kitcn-
en- gardens. Ole mans grounds were, more
over, separated from snother's, not by high
walls and insurmountable fences, but by rows

Birds Nests.

There is one luxury in the matter OF food
which has not yet been introduced into this
country, excepting on the Pacific coast, but in
the growing fancy for rare and foreign produc-
tions which prevails among US, ana especially
when extravaganza in every department of liv-
ing seems to be the principle with so many, We
should not be surprised at the early introduc-
tion of birds nests article of diet. 1t will
perhaps hasten, instead of deferring their intro
ducton, when the enormous price of this deli
cacy becomes known.
There is large class of persons, not the
most sensible class OF course, who value every
thing IN proportion to the price that is put up
on 1t. Such persons would be delighted 10 know
that birds nests could never become article
OF food with the vulgar, lnasmuch as they cost
at retail la China, the principal market tor them,
not less then twenty live or thirty collars a
pound, and sometimes more Than this. dish

Although the taste for this expensive article
is confined almost exclusively TO the Chinese, il
is not production OF China, as is generally
supposed, but OF the Indian ISLANDS, and is prin-
| clpaliy found in Java, in caverns that are mos,

two dollar. per foot I; but there is some loss
counting interest on the money and also de-
ductiou of waste land for paths and avenues,
but the clear profits on every acre sold must
amount to twenty thousand doars-leavng TO

The Cemetery do large portion of the labor

also most Of the gardening but always at the
expense Of the propretors.
There has been nearly fourteen thousand in
