Having tried every system Of

correspondent Of the Prairie Far
ner: l mean, try cultivating yonr
strawberries in stools. For once
adhere strictly to the plan of cut
ting eff every runner and keeping
down all foreign growth, every.
thing except your plants. Let me
advise you to select the fir-famed
Wilson's Albany. Select a good
piece of ground, about sixty feet
square, and put it in excellent
tilth. Then take a garden line
that will reach across II, and as
early in March as you can, or fret
OF April. get good, strong, we'll
rooted plants, and put them out
by the line, two feet apart each
way-spreading ont the roots fan
shapc-and cover MP to, but not
over, the crown. Work this plant
every ten days during the grow
ing season and abont the mid
die OF December following, scat.
ter some kind Of seedlcss straw
all over the plat-plants and all
about two inches thick, as q win
ter protection, and let this etraw
remain over the bed until about
the last Of March following q,
which time pass over it with e
pitchfork, and move the straw
from the crowns of the plants on.
ly, leaving it all around and under
them as n spring and summer
much, which will keep the plants
moist, and then your work is done
until bearing season is over..-
Cultivated in this way, your Der.
ries will be inucl, larger ard the
yield enormus. IF the season
should be good one, you vii
gather from a pint to q quart tc
the stool. After they are done
bearing, spade mp the bead-straw
and all-and keep it clean of run
ners and filth, as you did the sea
son before; and the following. d,
cembcr apply fresh mnlcl,ing, and
so on from year to year, and your
bed will last in fine condition fo,
many years. Try it once, and
you will never adopt any other
plan. Pull off all blossoms the
first year.

the road steamer hanled load of

The City Of Greenville.

We extract from the Working
Christian the following classic no.
tice of Greenvil!e:
Athens Of the tosth.-An elo.
uuent living writer. discanting OH
the glory OF the ancient Athens of
Greece and her political downfall,
remarks: "Let no one weep ut
her fall. Athens did not expire
on the field Of Cheronea, when she
lost her political Independence
There was something in her cxis-
tcnce which no conqucring sword
can destroy. Her genius still lives,
conquering the conqneror." This
-" something" this "genius," was
the power OF Grecian thought and
learning, which has held in sub
lection the enlightened nations Of
tho earth for twenty five centuries.
The ancient beautiful Athens has
long been, with her noblest sons,
lying in the dust Of ruin; but her
influcnce will never die. The
framework of her exalted govern.
ment, the work of her great states
men, has inhaled the spirit of each
progressive age, and ruled in each
enlightened nation. Her bcauti-
tul and almost perfect language
drank in the words of Jesus and
his inspired apostles, and has ruled
triumphant in the church and in
the domains Of Pulemic thought !;
while the genius of her learning
and eloquencc has given life and
beauty to all later discoveries and
achievements in the Arts an i
Sciences. Who. that mcditctes on
these things, does not rejoice as he
q,ears Grccnville, of our own little
Carolina, called the" Athens of the
South" The resemblance between
Grcenville and ancient Athens
must be very slight /; yet there is a
resemblance. Tie following verse
anay suggest some similarity in eli
mate aud scenery:
"yet arc thy skies as blue, thy crags rs wild,
Sweet arc thy groves, and vcrdart arc thy
fields,
Thine olive ripe, as when Minerva smiled;
And still his honied wealth Hymettus yields.
There the blitho bce his fragrant fortress
builds,
The born wandcrcr Of thy mountain air;
Apollo ttili thy long summer gilds,
StiIl, in his beam, P.ntelfs marbles glare ;
Art, glory, freelom faint, but nature sill 1.

~ is not to be found in connection

and cataracts, groves and gnrdens.
handsome women and tasty resi-.
dences but in her institutions of
learning and pure Christianity.
The influence of learned educa-
tors and her noble statesmen has
been already felt in the State and
the whole South !; and it is destined
to have a still greater power in the
land. Once tile size and influence
of Athens were no greater than that
of Greenville. But both continued
TO increase uutil they became the
wonder If all people. Let our
modern Athens E How on. Let us
