From the American Agriculturistl
FARM WORK. :
ELowER GARDEN AND LAWN.

FLOWER GARDEN AND LAWN.
If the suggestions given last month have
been regarded, little remains to be done
except to give protection to half.hardy
shrubs and trees.
Roads may be staked out and made ready
to commence work upon as soon as the
spring opens. Stones for road drainage
can be drawn at any time during the win
ter if they have been dug out and small
stones placed under them to prevent their
freezing to the ground. A road in order
to be properly made should have the soil
removed to a depth of 2 and q feet and
the opening filled in with stones, which
should be gradually smaller near the top,
and the surface finished off with three
inches OF good gravel. This will make a
road which will always be dry during the
spring and heavy storms. Walks should
be made in the same way except that the
stones need not be as large as those used
for roads and drives.
Make careful plans of the house and its
surroundings, so that at any time label
should be lost the trees and principal
shrubs may be recognized by their posi-
ton. $3.50 atlft
Rustic work of all kinds can be easily
made if one has little ingenuity in devils
ing neat patterns. Nearly every farm
possesses swamp in which plenty Of ma
terial may be gathered for such work.
Cedar and the broad-leaved laurel are the
two most common woods used, though
grapevine is often used, and we have
found andre media lingstima very useful
wood for this purpose, especially where
straight work is required. In some locali-
ties this last shrub grows in large quanti-
ties as underbrush in the swamps. ~
Bulbs may yet be planted if the ground
is still open. Give protection Of coarse
manure or leaves, as the bulbs will flower
much stronger for little covering.
GREENHOUSE AND WINDOW PLANTS
The heat required for greenhouse will
depend great deal upon the kind of
plants grown. If stove plants, such as
tropical ferns and the like, high temper
ature will be needed; but for ordinary
plants q temperature oil AS to 500 at
night and from 60 . to 20 Q during the
day will be sufficient to keep the plants in
healthy growing and blooming condition.
Give air every mild day, always opening
the ventilators on the opposite side from
which the wind blows.
Bring from the cellar few bulbs at a
time tor winter Towering. a!
aCactuses will need rest, except the
Epiphyllums and such as are winter
blo0mers.
Pelargoniums or show geraniums should
be placed as near the glass as possible,
and kept in good shape by means Of pro-
per pruning and tieing.
Keep Your window plants in healthy
condition by Swinging often to remove
dust. Plants should have warm window
where they will get plenty ofsunlight and air.
Keep supply of liquid manure on hand
to water the plants once week in order
to accelerate their growth. Bulbs and
roses in pots are especially benefited by
copious waterings if the mixture is not too
strong.
Keep camelias in cool house or room
until the buds are well developed and ready
to break, when they may be taken into a
warmer place and brought into a flower.
Do not wet the flowers. IN

Greed People.

The most stubborn in their religious
opinions are those who profess to have
no creed. So far as ] have been able to
determine from intercourse with the no
creed fraternity, i decidedly prefer the
creed men, as the more liberal, reliable
and uniform in religious character. 1t is
an easy matter to scof at creeds, or con-
tessions or articles of religion. Infdels
have always done it, But when we call
up before us the martyr-spiFit, the self
sacrifice, the devotion to principle, the
answervlng zeal, the vast appropriation
OF men and means for the promotion of
the cause of Christ and the abundant
success which has crowned the labor of
love OF the creed men, we cannot but
think that opposition to creeds must
originate either in very superficial ex-
animation Of the subject, or disposition
to throw OFF the, restraints of any reli-
gious belief, that would restrict men to
principles, doctrines and preeepts. tend
ing to promote holiness of heart and life
Talk about religious opinions, in oppo-
sition to creeds. Why, what have liberal
opinions done for the advancement of
Christs cause2 Who build churches and
support the gospel2 The creed men.
Who build colleges, endow them, and
patronize them? The creed men. Who
are now contributing millions of money,
and thousands of learned and pious men
and women to the spread of the gospel,
in far-off lands that the world may be
converted to Christ? The creed men.
And all this while the no-creed men are
goading, lashing and denouncing them as
goddess bigots and canting hypocrites!
But why raise such mighty dust about
creeds to blind and bewilder the popular
mind, and prejudice the unthinking
against all church organizations Let
us see. What is a creed 2 "A brief sum-

Louisiana.

The exerceis of the elective franchise
and obeying the sheriff by acting as dep
uties under him in Grant Parish, Louisi-
ana. constitutes negro usurpatlon, accord
ing to the Liberal papers of the country.
The brutal and cowardly massacre in
Grant Parish of colored men by white
men was in obedience to the teachings
of such negro-hating journals as the New
York Tribune and other Liberal leaders
in the country. Enraged beyond self
control at the negro for preferring to
support the Republican party rather
than a party the strongest and most in
fluential element of which was composed
of enemies to the advancement of his
race the Liberal organs and leaders
throughout thescountry have been print
ing and declaiming against what they
falsely alleged to be the attempt of the
Republican party to make the negro su-
preme at the South. The New York
Tribune has correspondent in South Car
olina who through its s-columns attempts
to fire the people up to relentless ha-
tired of the colored people and to inspire
a war of races. This is Liberalism. The
argument of the murderers Of the negro
is that the negroes are ignorant and
must be subiugated. Every attempt of
the black man to gain knowledge and to
struggle. out of his degradation enkindles
a fame of hatred eliminating in the
most barbarous outrages. Men OF the So
called superior race for mere party gain
emulate the example of barbarism, and
with all the savagery of brutal and
ignorant whites perpetrate deeds that
sicken and appal enlightened Christen-
dom.
When it suits the purpose of the New
York Tribune to declare the negro as
hopelessly ignorant and degraded, it does
so, and when it attempts to make him
responsible for the blot on civilization in
Grant Parish, it AYERS that he has full
knowledge of the questions affecting the
legitimacy of the claims of the rival gov
ernments in the State of Louisiana. The
Tribune speaks of the negro III Grant Far
ish as follows.
as it not natural that an ignorant and
degraded people, like the negroes of
many of the remote parishes of Louisiana,
should infer from the recent transactions
at New Orleans and Washington, that
the purpose of the Federal Government
was to deliver the State into their hands
They cannot have forgotten that during
the campaign the Administration leaders
were careful to array them against the
white populatiou, to frighten them with
the prospect of revival of slavery if the
old slave-owners ever got into office, to
assure them that the cause of Grant and
the cause of the black man were identi-
cal, and that the reelection of the Presi-
dent would elevate the colored race to
place and power, and put their old mas
ters forever under their feet. They
kno,o that in the Move mber election the
black mans party created by these rep
resentations, was defeated at the polls.
They know that it was nevertheless i'm
mediately installed in power by military
force. They knOW that it is sustained by
the President IN defiance Of ta'0 and of the
remonstrances of some of his own warm
est friends. What is more natural than
