rCorrespondence of the Chicago Tribune
CHAMPAIGN, ILL, July 30, 1874.
Before the days of railroads, if we de-
sired vegetables out of season, we had to
resort to hot-beds and glass houses-not
only for the starting of plants, early, but,
to great extent, to perfect them: bu'
this was costly luxury, and made THESE
early garden products possible only 70
the rich. And then such fruits as the
strawberry, the raspberry, and the black,
berry, could not be counted in the list OF
these luxuries, for they were too costly
even for the rich. But now
THE RAILROADS AND MODERN GARDEN
ING
have made all Of those things possible to
all classes OF our people. In the old time,
the early-market gardens were, as are
those for latter use, ranged around III the
suburbs of our cities. Those OF ChIcago
were mostly along the sandy soils OF the
lake-shore, and reached as far south as
the Calumet, and to Evanston, or, as 1t
was then called, Gross Point, on the
north. Over all this district, hOt-beds and
cold-frames covered with glass abounded;
but, as the railroads extended south the
acknowledgement, and the open sun
Ii hit and warm soil took the place OF the
plass-covered c0ld-frame. The sunny
hill-sides at Golden, Anna, Dongola and
Villa Ridge, usurped the place OF the
city hot-beds and cold-frames, and vastly
cheapened the early vegetables, and, at
the same time, cheapened the early small
fruits, and thus revolutionized the old
system of producing the early vegetables
and fruits And yet farther South pushed
the railroads, and farther South followed
the gardens,

Don't Begin.

A few years ago saw pert little boy
washing tobacco leaves, and I asked
What are they good for7'
He replied, 'Oh. they're good to make
cigars Of"
But are cigars good for anything
when they are nader
Il don't know; I like 'sm pretty
WE'LL
What pity a boy of fourteen should
like cigars! Tobacco has its uses,
since nothing was made in vain, but I
don't thsnk smoking or chewing are its
legitimate uses. Much can be said
against these habits; very little in their
favor.
They waste time.
They annoy others.
They waste money.
They injure the health.
They scent the clothing.
They make the breath foul.
They corrupt tho atmosph ere.
Are not these reasons enough against
using tobacco7 And the worst of it is
they all are true. Few thoughtful, can
did persons, though they may themselves
be victims of the habit, will dony one of
them. DR.. franklin said he never met
aman that used tobacco who advised
him to follow his example.
'iUse doth breed habit in man."
Bad habits are easily formed,
"But when ysu would strip them,
'Tis being 9ayed alive"
Therefore, boys, don't learn to smoke.
Don't learn to like the useless indul
gence.
Keep your lips clean.

DEAD OLD WOMAN The
Great Aelus," Of the Ottawa Journal, in his
sloshing around for something to write for his
paper, in. order to avoid selections containing
news OF common sense, makes a raid upon the
late poor old Barbara Frietchie, who waved the
stars and stripes during the rebel march through
the streets of Frederick, Maryland, and concern.
ing which Whittier wrote his famous poem. He
says Barbara was no heroine, but simple old wo-
man craLed with excitement; that che ran no
risk, as the rebels did not come to make war up
on women; and that Whittier mnst have been
imposed upon. After saying all this, be admits
that Barbara did wave the flag on that occasion,
and there is no evidence that any other person,
old or young, male or female, did so. Tho fact,
therefore, remains, that Whittier was not impos-
ed upon, but that his poem is true. The only
doubt seems to be in the mind of the "Great Me-
lius," to the heroism of the act; together with
bis high opinion of the generosity and chivalry
CT the rebels, who, If are to believe him, were
always exceedingly teuder in their usage of
Union women. We have a pretty we'll grounded
belief that Barbara Frietchie and her heroism
will be q household story, from whitter's stir.
ring poem, many long years after the "Great
Aelius" has became lunch for very ordinary
naaggotsr-and been forgotten on the face of the
earth.
