have known a man who realized as much
from what he sold from his garden of one
halt acre, as his hardwoI king brother did
from what he sold from his farm OF more
than one hundred acres. 1t is said that

pounds per annum. How much of this
could and should come from the garden2
II can buy my vegetables" says one
standing by, and who calls in the doctor
frequently, "cheaper than l can raise
them" Not so, indeed. I answer, if you
take into account the health and instruc
ton impaired by the garden Then it is
so delightful to see your own lettuce,
radishes, tomatoes, melones, peas. beans
and sweet corn growing. It is so pleasant
to 60 out and pick with your own hands
your. OWE currants, grapes, pears and
peaches. And what if you happen to
raise few snch things to give away to
your poor neighbor? Does it NOT all come
in for profit? A garden then promotes
your health, imports instruction and
greatly helps to sustain your table. It
helps other people also. Some things
you can afford to do without, but I see
not how you csn live a really happy life
without garden. Do you?-Cor. Ger.

A Garden.

Every man, however limited his means
should contrive to have and cultivate a
garden. There are three strong reasons
for it:
1. Working in garden is highly con-
ductive to health The exercise is gen
tie; it is united with amusement, and by
it both the body and the spirits are invig-
Grated. There is something in the odor
of the earth that strengthens the whole
system. Let the sedentary man take up
the pruning knife and spend an hour of
the dewy morning amongst his vines, or
the spade, hoe or rake and prepare or
work over his asparagus, lettuce or rad
ish beds, and he will thus give tone and
vigor to his body and mind for the severe
studies of his desk. The teacher will
teach all the better; the minister will
preach all the better for the mind exer-
else which the garden gives. For this
natural employment of the bones and
muscles of the system an hour or two's
practice in the gymnasium is but mis-
erable substitute, since the health-im-
parting exhalations from the ground, as
well as the interest and variety are want
ing.
2. The garden is a teacher. There
nature is at work, producing her most
beautiful forms and transformations. No
man can witness attentively the germi-
nation of the seed, the uprising of the

SchOol-I3oy Shooting,

In St. Paul, Minnesota, the gath inst,
during recess at the Neill school, number of
the smaller boys were standing with q group
OF the elder ones, all engaged in discussing
the important school-boy event of the forth
coming examination, when pistol shot was
suddenly heard and a boy as unexpectedly
darted from among the crowd, who ran to a
tree and dropped. The boy proved to be
Alexander Mcdonald, aged - years, residing
at No. Marshall avenue, and he was found to
be shot in the left side of the neck, somewhat
to the rear. The shot, the blood, and the
PROSTATE boy fairly paralyzed the school
children. David Day, Gus Nichols, and an
other boy, whose name was not learned, soon
however, recovered their presence of mind
Day ran, saddled his pony, and galloped down
to DR.. Hands Office, at the instance of Nichols,
for medical assistance, while the third boy
went for his fathers carriage, in which the
wounded youth was conveyed home. The pis-
tol was in the hands Of George Luckert, age
II years. It appears the boy was carrying the
pistol in his right hand pants pocket, when
feeling it dropping out, he placed his hand up
on it to put it back, and it exploded with the
result already stated.
