The Garden for Women.

There is nothing better for wives and
daughters, physically, than to have the
care of a garden fower-pot, if moth
ing msre. What is pleasanter than to
spend portion of every passing day in
working among plants and watching
the growth of shrubs, trees, and plants,
and to observe the opening of flowers
from week to week, as the season ad-
vances? How much it adds to the en-
joyment to know that your own hands
have planted and titled them. This is a
pleasure, and requires neither great
riches nor profound knowledge. The
wife or daughter who loves home, and
would seek ever to make it the best
place for husband and brother, is willing
to forego some gossiping morning calls
for the sake Of having leisure for the
cultivation of plants, shrubs, and
flowers.
The advantages which women per-
sonally derive from stirring the soil and
snufing the morning air are freshness,
beauty, rosy cheeks, brightness of eye,
cheerfulness of temper, vigor of mind,
and purity of heart. Consequently, she
is more cheerful and lovely as daughter;
more dignifed and womanly as a sister,
and more attractive, lovely, and confd-
ing as wife.

Poetry of the Table.

Though some fastidious people may
coincide in the opinion of that eminent
poet who cherished a dislike for the
prosaic duties of the table, the business
of eating, even in the humblest house
hold, may be rendered pleasant to every
sense by observing little care and taste
in the garniture of the dishes and din
ing-table. Seribner's Monthly gives a
few useful hints on this subject, and
recommends, in the first place, starch
ed and smoothly-ironed table-cloth-
which, if neatly folded after every meal,
will look we'll for several days. Then
flowers and ferns in flat dishes, baskets,
or small vases-or else tiny nosegay
laid upon every napkin. The salt must
be pure and smooth. The butter should
be moulded into criss-crossed diamonds,
shells, or globes, with the paddles mad
for this purpose. A few pretty dishes
will make the plainest table glow; a
small, bright-colored platter for pickles,
horse-radish, or jelly; and butter-plates
representing green leaves are also at
tractive. A few pennies worth of par
sley or cress, mingled with small scraps
of white paper daintily clipped, will
cause plain dish to assume the air of
French entree. A platter of hash may
be ornamental with an edging of toast
ed or fried bread cut into points and
dish of mutton chops is much more i'm
pressive with the bones stacked as sold
iers stack their guns, forming a pyra-
mid in the centre-each bone adorned
with frill of cut paper. A few slices
of cut lemon, mingled with sprigs of
parsley and slices of hard-boiled eggs,
form a pretty garnish to many dishes /;
and nothing could be more appetizing
than beef, veal, mutton, or lamb made
into mince-meat, and pressed into form
in wine-glass, then fried in pork fat,
with sprig of green placed in the top
of each little cone. The basket of fruit
peaches, pears, grapes or apples,
oranges and bananas should be taste
fully arranged and trimmed with leaves
and flowers. The bowl of salad should
be ornamented with the scarlet and
orange flowers of the trop@olum, their
piquant flavor adding zest to the let
tuce, with which they can be eaten.

farmer is compelled by his landlord to
farm in certain directions, and the re-
suit is q systematic, regular course of
husbandry, by which better results are
obtained than with us, where every
farmer does his work in hap-hazard
way, without any regard to science or
rational system of culture. Carcasses
exposed to the air to putrefy, cesspools
reeking with filth, stagnant water filled
with decomposing vegetable matters are
regarded as public nuisances, and those
permitting them on their premises are
liable to criminal prosecution"

BOTTLES FULL OF BEAUTY.-Ladies, If you
would have beauty by the bottle-tull, all you
have TO do is to purchase HAGAN's MAGNOLIA
BALM. That peerless beautilicr of The com
pleXion not only heightens natural charms,
but renders even the plainest couutenance ex-
cecdingly attractive. 1t recalls to the palld
cheek the rosy tinge health, removes pmples,
blotches, roughncss, sallowncss and other
blcnishes, and imparts to the skin most
delicate fairness and sohness. 1t smooths the
furrows caused by time or care, and gives face,
neck and arms the plump and engaging ap-
pearance of youthful beauty. All this is ac-
complished by the most natural means, viz {:
by gently and naturally stimulating the cir
culation in the capillary blood vessels. Besides
being the most etlectual aid to beauty known
to modern science.
