How TO HAVE EARLY STRAwBERRIEs.-
When we read IN the English papers a state
ment like the following, We are apt to think
that these are very costly Injuries, and al
most envy royalty the privilege of enjoying
them About ten thousand strawberries
are annually forced in the gardens of Sand
bingham (the Prince of Wales palace. The
usual course with all the earlier patches is
to start them IN pots, plunged in warm
leavesi they are then placed on shelves any
where and everywhere that room can be
found Tor them, and ga hered in quantity
from the middle OF February till they come
in out Of DOORS
But after all it costs SO little to have early
strawberries that it is rem 4rkable more do
not have them than generally do. Otcourse,
10 have them very early it would be necessa-
ry to grow them few months in pots, and
take care OF them much.as is described in the
extract quoted but many persons might
have them without this trouble by simply
covering the ground in which they grow wit
e@ h0tbed sash. 1t is remarkable that
country gardeners do not make more use OF
glass frames tor getting things earlier than
they do. Glass is cheap, and the sash frames
are not very costly. One can glaze for him
elf, and the frames can be made good enough
for the purpose on any farm. they come
INTO use IN so mary ways that every farm
gardener ought to have a few of these sashes
Cd Land. For strawberries, all that is nee
essary is to have bed growing on some nice.
warm spot of ground, and then set one OF
these frames over them. It takes very little
heat to bring forth strawberry bios SONS, and
the glass covering protects them from tros
and cold at night. A frame five feet wide
and twenty feet long, fixed IN this way. would
give many quarts of Strawberries for several
weeks before the regular crops come in the
open ground Thomas MeeAan, in The Phil

Deep burdeuing field and wood and hill,
Dim days, dark nights slow trailing fogs.
And bleakened ar severe and chill.
And swift the seasons cIrclng run
And still they change till all is done.
Young spring with promise in her eyes,
And fragrant breath from dewy mouth,
And magic touches for the hooks

And swift the seasons cWcling run

Then summer stands erect and tall,
With early sunrise for the lawn,
Thick foliaged woods and glitterinr seas,
And loud bird chirpings in the dawn,
And swift the seasons circlIng run
And SO they change till ali is done.
Brown autumn, quiet with ripe fruits,
And haggard5 stacked with harvest gold,
And fiery flashes for the ewes,
And silent cloud skies soft outrolled.
And so the seas ms circing run
And still they change TIL all is done.

destructive in mea lows, according to expert
aents made ia Europe, may be destroyed in

suggested by observing that these beetles al

seventeen artificial breeding places were pre-
pared by coverin- fresh cow-dung with foe

PERMANENT HoMBs.-It may be said OF US
as people, that we are not yet settled.
Homes we have none as they have in the old
world. There farm passes fro n one gener-

counts scores in its record. As much as can
be On earth, this is an abiding place. But
here with US is no such thing, We are rest
less-we are not yet settled; we are yet
seeking our homes. This is the consequence
OF our nascent condition. 1t becomes US to
be active-to seek our fortunes and establish
ourselves. This has not yet been done, and
will not be, till as nation, we subside into
quiet. When we become satisfied with our

ENGLISH CHILDREN.-Tne newcbo IN
English aristocrat receives, as soon as
born, little bed with hard mattress.
From lis earliest age it is taken, warmly
wrapped, into the fresh air. After the
Il rst year its meals are reduced to three.
and this rule is so Interchangeable that 10
child thinks of requiring anything more;
and from this time its food is rich milk
and bread la nd butter and good meat
After break as it remains Sc eral hours,
in the open air, and then sleeps Never
are English children intrusted to the care
Of young nursery maid; but to an elderly,
experienced person, under whose direction
they constantly are. As soon as the
young girl goes to school the carriage of
the head and shoulders becomes an object
Of attention, and under no circumstances
is she permitted to sit otherwise than
upright. " My child grows but once,
says an English mother" and therefore
nothing is SO important as her physical de-
veIopment Every thing else can be &C
qured later. An English child rises at
7, breakfast at s; dimes at L, sups at I,
and at O. clock goes to bed. Until Il
years Of age they pass the greater part of
the day in the open air, with only about
four hours mental work. The Young
English aristocratic maiden dimes first with
her parents at IS years of age, when she
leaves school and makes her debut IN
society. She is fresh and blooming as a
rose, with light step, and eyes beaming
with pleasure and life. Her frequent
laugh displays her beautiful teeth, and her
hair is rich and abundant. Here, for the
first time, fashionable Violet displays the
fine fullness of contour. London possesses
noble museums, galleries of art and treas
ures of architectures, but one Of the most
charming of its sights may be seen on fine
afternoons in Hydepark-crowds of child
rem merrily playing, earthly angels OF in-
comparable beauty. A sight equally in
terestng may be witnessed after service
on Sunday, at the Founding hospital
several hundred children, ranging from
five to thirteen years of age, and of the
most noble physique and absolutely bewil-
aering beauty. Two of the most wonderful
sights of Europe are the children of
England and the flower of Paris.

COOKED NEAT FOR FowLs.-Fowls. as
well as dogs, became quarrelsome if fei on
raw meat. Besides, cooking makes it more
nutritious. When raw, it is ratner marsh
and crude, compared with the mild natural
diet OF worms and gruhs, which are for tn
most part soft, and easily dissolved by diges-
ton. Occasionally, for variety, little meat
may be given raw. Fish, when plenty, is
more conveniently gwen boiled, because in
tnat state the fowls easily pick every morsel
from the bones, and no mineing is required
Chambers scraps have the advantage of be-

The flowery May, who from her green lap throws
The yellow cowslip and the pale primrose.

Woods and groves are ofthy dressing,
Hill, and dale doth boast thy blessing.
Thus we salute thee with our early song
And welcome thee and wish thee long.
