EARLY ToMATo.-The following is
vouched for by gentleman who says he
knows it call right"


"About the first of April, take a few
large turnips and cut out the hearts of
them to form a sort of cup. Fill the cav
tiles with earth, and plant two or three
tomato seeds in EACH When the seeds
have well sprouted, pull up all but the
healthiest plant in each turnip, and let
those that remain have the benefit Of the
sun; the plant will grow very thrifty; the
decaying turnip furnishing its food
When the weather become sufficiently
warm, set the turnips in well prepared
soil, not less than three feet apart, make
lath frames to keep the vines from the
ground, and keep the soil well hiled up
around them, and You will have a crop
that will astonish the natives. The ad-
vantage consists in getting the plants star
ted early without setting them back by
transpl planting"

Potatoes, for an early crop. should be
at once planted, but it is question as to
what is the very best, and earliest variety
Fox's Seeding Early June, and Mexican,
in the order here named, have proved
with us the most desirable: the last nam
ed being best in quality. Warm, sandy
land is also decided requisite to success
in growing early potatoes. He who
plants for early crop on clay land, oreven
level, sandy muck land, will have only
the pleasure of taking potatoes to market
after the time of obtaining paying price
has passed, for it is only the very early
ones that sell at price to remunerate for

HrGH LIFE BENEYoLENCE.-The New York cor

workings of fashionable charity


ga few lady patronesses tell the many whom to
help and how to do it. An object of charity or
subject of ofpatronage, being found, the game of
benevolence begins by each Of the lady leaders sub
scribing loudly and boldly fifty, one hundred or
two hundred dollars. A plan is then decided upon
for fair concert some private theatricas, for
which tickets issued-the patronesses, of course,
taking their moneys worth of the pasteboard These
cards they shuttle, at fixed price thigh enough
alwaysl, into the pockets of the gentlemen whom
luckless fate throws in their way. BY this means
the original subscription is soon wiped out, the
lady patronesses secure free admissions, reap all
the glory, and finally pay the proceeds to the
charitable object and all with apervadng sense of
having performed noble deed deserving of first
rate notice from the pen of Sterne's recording
angel As this game is of constant recurrence
here, to the infinite dissatisfaction of the young
male pipestems, who frequent the brown-stone
fronts OF Fifth avenue, / have thought it would
