is still in the lead We can boast
of two women gardeners that are
not bit slow-one on the New
York side of town, the other on
the Brooklyn side. One of these
women a few days ago thought
the time Of year was here to set
out her plants, and after having
completed the work, looked with
a good deal of satisfaction on the
nice prospect she had for an abun
dant yield in due season. But,
alas ! for all human expectations.
One never knows at what moment
his fondest hopes may be dashed
away; and it often happens that
when ones spirits are most eXu-
berant, trouble Of some kind is
| lowering nearest. Soft was with
our friend. The thought flashed
through her mind that she had
set her plants out without having
consulted the almanac. She well
knew what it would mean if she
had made a mistake; but she must
find out. She could not bear the
suspense. so she got the almanac
leafed through it until her eye
fell on the date that she had set
out her plants, and then her
worse fears were realized. She
had set them out in the wrong
"sign." Having a resourceful
mind, she was not minute de-
Gliding what to do next, and went
to the garden, pulled up every
plant, and took them back to the
little box IN the kitchen, and
transplanted them there, and
since the frost of last Saturday
night which killed all the plants
: in her neighbors' gardens, she is
very sure that she did the right
thing.
