The Florida Farmer.
Editor PALArNA NEWS:

1t has been my good fortune during
the past week to dine a number OF times
at the table Of one of your well.to.do
Florida farmers. This evening the lady
of the house had genuice cracker sup
per" This is the bill of fare: New p
t2toes. fresh butter. biscuit. native syrup.
butter milk, sweet milk and grits, That
was good deal batter than going to the
store AMI paving out money for canned
goods. Any farmer who strictly attends
TO bushes, may. ut this season. have the
following lis, from which to select for
his table, New potatoes. eggs, chicken,
cabbage, collard. peas, lettuce. onions,
turnips, native syrup, strawberries. hue
kleberries, canned. cassava, milk and
butter.
In few weeks he will be able to add
peaches, blackberries, plums and buckle.
berries. IL does seem to me, that with
this variety, the former ought to be able
10 live first.class. This theory Of people
in Florida spending all their money for
canned goods and groceries is largely
their own fault BY and by our people
will get down to raising nearly every
thing needed for the table. then Florida
will become the most prosperous state
in the Union.
The lady OF the family has one habit
that | would like to see more generally
adopted. When company chances to
call at meal time she makes no extra
preparations for their qualification at the
table. She sets before them just what
she prepares for her own family. Thus
she saves work and has more time to de-.
vote to entertaining her callers. Is not
the idea a good one:

thorough test Of the fire apparatus of

states that the machinery will force six

Many admirers of Longfcllow will be
interested to learn that the idea of this
popular poem was suggested to the
author by the lofty sentiments contained
in letter which he received from his
friend Charles Sumner. In letter which
the poet himself wrote to another of his
friends, Mr.. c. X. Tuckerman, he tells
how this idea was developed in his
mind; and he gives in plain prose, the
intended lesson Of the piece:
The hero passes through the Alpine
village, through the rough, cold paths Of
the world, where the peasants cannot un-
dcrstand him, and where his watchword
is in an 'mknown tongue lie disrc-
CARDS the happiness of domestic peace,
and secs the glacier, his fate, before him.
