STATUS OF VEGETABLES.
According to This Account There Are
Some Vulgar and Others
AristOcratic.

Why do we respect some vegefa bles
and despise others? the bean is a
graceful, confiding, engaging vine; but
you never can put beans into poetry
or into the highest kind of prose.
There is no dignity in the bean, writes
Charles Dudley Warner, in my Sum-
mer in a Garden
Corn--which in my garden grows
alongside the bean, and, so far as
can see, with no affectation of supe-
riority. is, however, the child of song.
1t waves in all literature. But mix it
with beans, and it's high tone is gone.
Succotash is vulgar; it is the bean in
it; the bean is a vulgar vegetable,
without culture, or any flavor of high
society among vegetables.
Then there is the cucumber, like so
many people, good for nothing when
IL is ripe and the wildness has gone
out of 1t. How inferior to the melon,
which grows upon a similar vine! The
cucumber is sort of low comedian
in q company where the melon is a
minor gentleman.
The lettuce is to me most inter-
esting study. Lettuce is like CONVEX
sation; it must be fresh and crisp, so
sparkling that you scarcely notice the
bitter in it. Lettuce, like most talk
ers, though, is apt to run rapidly to
seed.
Blessed is that sort which comes
to head, and so remains-like n few
people know-growing more solid
and satisfactory and tender, and
winter at the center.
Lettuce, like conversation. requires
good deal of oil, to avoid friction,
and keep the company smooth; a
pinch of Attic salt, dash of pepper,
mustard and vinegar, but SO mixed
that you will notice no sharp con-
trasts, and trifle of sugar.
l feel that am In the best society

WOMEN SWING AN ELECTION.

Two hundred women OF Lagrange, most

their object, went to- the polls yesterday
