THE PRIECEss OF WALEs.-'Burleigh'
writes to the Boston Journal from London

THE PRINCESS OF WALEs.-"Burleigh
writes to the Boston Journal from London
as follows:
"All London is stirred to its lowest depths
at the sickness of the Princess of Wales
She is very sick-much more so than the
press are allowed to state. There is great
superstition about the Princess of Wales.
England has not had one since the death OF
Princess Charlotte, whose carly death the
nation so deeply mourned. 1t is the faith OF
the nation that it is fatal position, and
many have predicted that Alexandra would
not hold the position long. And now it is
feared that her sickness is unto death.
"The Princess has a widespread populari-
ty. Except Charlotte, no one has ever been
so popular. She is very handsome and
amiabc. She has now three little children,
and emulates her royal mother-in-law in her
devotion to her household. She has also a
warm heart. Her name is a household
word in the homes of the lowly. The insti-
tuition for Sick Children is under her es-
pecial charge. When well she visited it
constantly, and filed the house with toys
and tokens of her care and good will.
"The attempt to compel the Queen to
dwell in London and make show of royal
ty has about been abandoned. The coming
of the Princess was hailed with rapture--s so
young, so amiable, so elegant so graceful
and courtly-witllal the daughter of a king.
She met with warm welcome, and seemed
to promise revival of the splendors of roy
atty Her sickness is lamented, her death
would be greatly deplored."

If the first crop of corn for the table is not
yet planted it should be done without a
days delay. We still adhere to the variety
we have constantly planted for twenty-five
years for the first crop, after trying others,
and we again recommend it. Adams
Extra Early is uot technically sugar corn.
and it is not shriveled, but it is excellent
and will be eaten gratefully as the first crop,
coming some ten days' earlier than the su-
gar varieties, except an early sugar, which
is 80 small in the eur and so poor producer
as not to make it very desirable.
When the ground is moist, as it mostly is
in April, seed corn for the garden should
not be soaked, but planted dry, putting in
each hill at least six grains, and removing
any surplussage of plants that may come up.
The second crop of corn should be Stou-
eIps Eceryreen, and small patches of it should
be planted throughout the season at inter-
walls of from ten to twelve days up to July.
This will afford daily supply to October.
From our experience-and we believe we
have tried all the recommended sweet va
rieties, we continue to grow the Stowell as
the best known. 1t is certain crop and
produces largely, while its quality is not
surpassed. L. Gern,Gntoson telegraph.

! GARDEN NOTES. Tatermelon.-To the
watermelon a very light soil is essential, and
If the garden soil is not of that character, it
is better to seek it elsewhere, or make holes
twelve inches deep and three feet in diane
ter, and fill up we'll with light soil and con-
post. Plant dozen or more seed to the hill
and thin to two after the plants are estab-
lished. They should not be nearer than
| eight feet.
SQUAsHEs, PUMPKINS, EGGPLANT these
with plenty of manure, as above, giving ten
or more feet distance. If desirable to pre-
| serve seed distinct, plant them at considera-
BILE distance from other vines of same spe-
cies
COMPLIANT corn for succession of crops
! now for table use, and continue every three
weeks. For early planting take warm,
light soil.
CABBAGEs.-Tho Early Yorks and such
Others as have been planted out will require
working and attention. If seed for princi-
pal crop have not been sown, it should be
| now done. a.e s ~
BEANs.-The varieties of kidney beans
should be planted from time to time for a
| succession of crops.
| CAROLINA AND LIMA BEANs.--Plant out
crops of these fine kinds sufficient to insure
abundant supplies The Carolina is smaller
than the other, but earlier Plant four to
| four and half feet apart each way, and in
| light soil, manuring in the hill with good
compost
PEAs.--Continue to SOW succession of
late kinds.
LETTUcE.-Sow seeds for fresh supply of
plants. 'a
CARROTS, PARsNIps, BEETs-I is not too
late to SOW seeds Of all these still. Keep
lp.,t nTc tha., hn. 4
up. Thin out carrots to six inches-par-
snips and beets eight to ten inches apart.
CELERY.-Sow seed in q rich, moist place,
and take care to secure abundant plants for
principal crop, to be planted in July.
ONIoYs.-Onions from seed should be
thinned to three inches apart and the grass
kept very carefully picked out.
| ToMAToEs.-Plants from hot. beds may be
set out about the 10th of the month, and
seeds be sown in fresh border for late
crops. .....
RED PEPPERs.-Vareties of these, for
picking, &C., should be sown.
TuRNIP SEED.-Sow few seeds for very
errly use, if wanted.
SALsIFY.-Sow seed of this fine esculent,
and treat as directed for carrots. It is a
very desirable winter vegetable.
| WATER.-Make provision for an abundant
supply OF water in the garden. L. is abso-
lutely necessary in our very hot, dry sum
mers.
| FRUIT GARDEN.
Thin out superintendent fruit from peach,
apricot and nectarine trees. The peach
should be unsparingly thinned if we would
have iine fruit, as it is especially given to
overbearing, except, as has been often the
case of late, when the frost does this work k
for us too ef1ectually.
NEWLY PLANTED TREES should have oc-
casional watering in hot and dry times,
throwing the water over the foliage.
STRAwBEnRIEs.-These require much wa
ter when setting and forming their fruit

Will tIae ViOlcss Bloom Again ?

viii the violets bloom again
Where the driftod snow piled,
BY the north wind bleak and wild,
On the hillside in the glen?
Will their tender eyes of blue
Ever wake from frozen trance,
Ever urge their timid glance
All these ghostly Surroundings through?
Cold the kisses of the air
On the earth's white bosom press;
Will they grow with tenderness,
kindling hues and fragrance there?
Sow murmur--half as real
While the snow-drifts higher climb;
Murmur-''Will the sweet spring time
Beauty any more reveal Z"
And in winter yet more drear,
Winter thick with spirit gloom;
All our fond hopes in the tomb,
Only drifting terrors near.
Woful and in doubt, we say
"Will the shadows ever lift;
Through our great gloom's billowy drift,
Can joys blossoms make their way"
Harder, here comes Faiths behest,
Than to see beneath the snow
Germ and leaf and petals grow
Out of earth's dew 'spangled breast.
April's tears and Mays warm smiles
viii Mt length dissolve the drift;
And the violets eyes will lift
Up to ours their sunniest wiles.
Then its heavenly hue and breath,
Shall this holy lesson teach
Palmer, tenderer far than speech
How in gloom joy quickeneth.

FIND FAULT IN PRIvATE.--Fin fault in
private, if possible, and some time after the
offence, rather than at the time. The blam-
ed are less inclined to resist when they are
blamed without witnesses Both parties
are calmer, and the accused person may be
struck with the forbearance of the accuser,
who has seen the fault and watched for a
private and proper time for mentioning it.
Never be harsh or unjust with your children
or servants. Firmness, with gentlcness of
demeanor and regard to the feelings, con-
stitutcs that authority which is always re-
spected and valued. If you have any cause
to complain of a servant, never speak hasti.
ly; wait, at all events, until you have had
time to reflect on the nature of the offence.

PoTAToEs.-Those who are afraid to post
pone to the best period of planting the fall
crop, may plant some now, and at occasion
al intervals, and so take all the chances but
any time before the middle of June is toe
early for a maxium crop, and it is indeed
very likely to be cut OFF to q minimum, by
the heat and drought of August, when the
tubers should be swelling.
A good sod, we'll turned, makes the best
bed for potatoes, and if manured on the sur
face last fall, it were better than fresh ma
nuring now. A full crop, however, is not
to be expected without an abundance o.
manure at one time or another, and no cror
pays better for an expenditure on this &C
count. BE furnished, therefore, in advance
with proper supply,

BEAUTY OF AMERICAN WoMEN.-The
Paris correspondent of the London Queen
gives utterance to his opinion on the above
subject, and we make haste to lay so graft
flying a statement before our readers-the
fairer portion of them in particular. Says
this ''most wise judge" as Shylock would
call him: "The world of Paris is beginning
to dance, and many balls are in prospect.
Chiefly among the American colony here,
which is more numerous than during any
former winter, does dancing go on, and with
far far more animation than in French sa-
looms. One cannot but be struck with the
superior freshness and beauty of American
girls, so often talked of, and certainly proved
in every large assembage of them"

But what is richer still.
leave you, mark me, mark me, now,
The sword of Bunker HILL"
"'Twas on that dread, immortal day,

modern interpretations it Is OF no value.

by Dudley in his "Naology,D and it is
a great pity that it could not be ineorpo-
rated in our modern Masonic lectures:
" The pillars represented the sustain
ing power Of the great God. The flower
Of the lotus or water lily rises from root
growing at the bottom of the water, and
maintains its position on the surface by
its columnar stalk, which becomes more
or less straight as occasion requires
il is therefore aptly symbOlical of the
power Of the Almighty constantly en-
ployed to secure the safety of the world.
The chapter Is the body or mass of the
earth the pOmegranates, fruits remark
able for the number Of their seeds, are
symbols Of fertility; the wreaths, drawn
vsriously over the surface Of the ehapi-
ter of globe, indicate the courses of fhe
heavenly bodies in the heavens around
the earth, and the variety of the seasons.
Such was the symbOlical import Of the
pillars Icin ane Boa. They were prop
erly placed in the porch or portico Of the
temple, for they suggested just ideas Of
the power of the Almighty, of the en-
tire dependence OF man upon him, the
Creator, and doing this they exhorted
all 10 fear, to love, and obey him. The
pillars lem and BO0z were symbols
worthy OF their place in the porch, the
entrance into the temple. To the con-
templative they could not be without
effect.n
