[7 SINGLE COPIES ONE CENT. THE CULTIVATION OF A GARDEN. Every man, rich or poor, in town or country, should cultivate some piece of ground, no matter how small, and have something either useful or beautiful growing in it. if it be within the scope of possibility. No man, woman or child, should esteem ita sufficient plea that they do not know how. Let themgetone of Landreth’s Almanacs, or Dreer’s list of garden | ay and try exper- iments. They will soon learn. Let none say they cannot take an interestin such matters, or that they have no time. Aninterest will speed- ily arise with a little experience, and then the time will be found, and it will re-invigorate many a warm frame and many a wi diy and eare-corrode:| heart, with the freshness of a sec- ond youth, and the vigor of an early spring. In a city like this. there is many a man w oy is turning prematurely gray with care and business, and who feels, alas! that his heart is becoming gray and blase, even faster than his head, who would feel all his powers bloom again, and his sensibilities refreshed by a little gar- dening as by nothing else. The wealthy. of course, all cultivate their gardens in one sense; that is, they have their gardeners, who do it for them, and they walk around with their friends on a Sabbath after- noon. perhaps, and criticise and admire, and order a fresh lot of flowers from Landreth at the request of their wives, only grumbling a little. possibly, as they feot the bill, the items of which have no interest for them. Perhaps nine gentlemen out of ten who do this, have no real sense of the delight which many a poor family take in some of the simplest flowerr, merely beenuse they have themselves watchea and cultivated them. Every one will find the personal cultivation of the earth a source of claily and increasing interest, whether on a larger or smaller seale, for ornament or for use. according to his means, his technical knowledge, and his other opportunities. The rich and the poor will find this one of the most improving, profitable and pleasant of all recreations, whatever their daily employment. If it be but alittle cress seed or a few vivlets grown in a box of earth outside a garret win- clow, it will shed a fragrance that will human- ize and refine all who lodge within One of the chief advantages of the garden is, that it will offer recreations of such an infinite variety, that, no matter what may be a man’s humor, or how tired he may be of other things, he can still find something useful to do for it that will be pleasant at the time, and yield its fruit after inany days. All the family, too, can unite in the labor and enjoyment of the garden, as in no other recreation, from the little child to the grandparent. It will attach the poor man to his home, and will save his more wealthy neighbor ten times more than it costa, every year, as a substitute for expensive journeys to coatly watering places, where nothing is to be found but the dissipations and fatigues of the city, transported at vast expense into the coun- try. How much more advantageous to transport the beauties and benefits of the country into one’s own premises. A garden creates a taste for simple pleasures. Those flowers and trees that may or may not interest the pussing stranger, will always be looked upon with interest and affection by the eye of him who planted them with his own hand. This love of natural beauties is the best antag st to the love of artificial stimulating and ex- pensive excttements. ‘Consider the lillies how they grow,”’ said the wisest and the holiest, while aiming to produce simplicity alike of faith and of tasth—‘they toil not, neither du they spin, yet Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.’ One great source of pleasure in a garden is that it subsidizes the forces of all nature.— These work for the man who works for them, and that, too, while he sleeps and cats and is otherwise engaged. All the increase is clear gain to human happiness. No one is made poorer by what is thus gained. but the whole world is so inuch the better and happier. Nothing teaches patience like a garden. All have to wait foe the fruits of the earth. You may go round and watch the opening bud from day to day, but it takes its own time, and you cannot urge it on faster than it will. If forced, it is only torn to pieces. All the best results of a garden, like those of life, are slowly pro- ressive. Each year does a work that nothing put a@ year can do. ‘“ Learn to labor and to wait,’ is one of the best lessons of a garden All that is good takes time, and comes only by growth. Hence, a garden attaches a man permanently tohis home. It is a kind of sheet anchor, that ties a man fast to a place he has once improved by a thousand little roots and tendrile, numer- ous as those of the trees he has planted. And this is one of its most valuable properties. A rolling stone gathers no moss, and we Ameri- eans are too ready to pull up stakes, and sell our brick and mortar, our furniture, and our land, that we may move to the endsof theearth en the vaguest rumors of slight advantages Thousands thus gu the West todie disappointed or to return impoverished, who mignt have steadily prospered, ha: they only #een content with their own State. We want more ties to bind us fust in these days of steamboats and railroad: When Gulliver went to Lilliput, he awoke and found that the tiny inhabitants had driven stakes into the earth, and made them fast to the separate haira of his head, so that, while he could lie still pleasantly enough, let him but attempt to move, and it was at the expense of a thousand little pains, each in itself surmounta- ble, but the wholo together forming a strong premium upon remaining quiet. Every plant and tree and flower of a garden kept and culti- vated by one’s own hand becomes such a tie to one quiet spot around your own dwelling. — Phil.

VOL. X. Eben + A PARIS DINNER. [From the correspondence of the N. ¥. Tribune.] We dined last week with a French Countess Your American imagination may, perhaps, fancy lavish display and abundant waste; but no—the house was small, though arranged and furnished with the most elegant taste. The lady would not have been a true French woman had she expended money in useless superflui- ties. The dinner, which was quite perfect in a certain way, might be characterized in a like manner. ere was not too much of anything, and yeta plenty. Abundance did not appear so much as tasteful and beautiful arrangement. Surpassingly delicate, too, were the sauces. For instance, after many dishes, there was served a roast turkey, which I supposed was like all other roast turkeys—very good ; but I was surprised upon adding the sauce to a nutritious bit of the breast. I discovered a new and unexpected flavor—something that I did not remember to have tasted at an Ameri- can table. To begin, I shall give you the order and names of the courses, thinking that it may help some young housekeeper giving her first dinner party : There were only tenat table, which was oval, and the hostess sitting at the middle of one side. The centre ornament was—not an expensive silver epergne, as you might have seen on some more extravagant table—but a large pyramid of beautiful camelias, roses and violets, buried in their fresh-looking green moss, with here and there peeping out a little pot of ripe strawber- ries—for it was February, and they were then a rarity—the whole rising from a low, brown wicker basket. The china—that is; the plates, for no dishes were placed on the table, as the waiters, who numbered only two, handed every dish, it being first well carved on a side table— the china was admirable for solidity and beauty; the color was dark blue and gold. The glasses were four to each person; and one in particular, of fine and slender shape, was ex- quisitely ornamented with a garland of leaves and grapes; this, I observed, was kept for the best wine. After the soup, which had rice in it, and was flavored with tomato, there was placed on the table opposite the hostess a large silver salver, covered with a damask napkin, on which lay a splendid turbot eutire, so large that it covered the silver to the edge. It looked so enormous that I thought of a small whale. All thoughts, however, of such coarse and oily crea- tures vanished at once, when, on helping my- self toa piece of this fine white-looking fish meat, and adding the sauce, which was creamy and a little acid, the delicious turbot melted in the mouth. Then came pungent radishes, which are a French appetizer, and cold spiced sausage cut in slices; and good red wine was setved to all. After small rich oyster pates, was served the filet of beef, with mushroom sauce, aceom- panied by simple potatoes. Then lamb chops, dressed with bread crumbs, and accompanied by boiled green peas. Next, roast turkey, with the above-mentioned extraordinary sauce, and a dish of sweet bread of veal cooked in a simple but most satisfying manner; and finally lettuce dressed only with oil and vinegar, and a little parsley cut up fine. With each different course, of course, a different wine was brought, cham- pagne being the dessert, which was only the est and most delicate ice cream; then fruits, both fresh and candied, and great sugared chestnuts, which are a favorite French bon-bon. Finally, black coffee, served in cups and sau- cors each different in style and pattern. And, ufter the liqueurs and sweet cordials, we all, voth ladies and gentlemen, left the table and went ‘o the drawing-room. I thought, as we came home, I never fancied a dinner could be so complete; yet with nothing very expensive, nothing showy or elaborate; yet every dish was finished, and the whole artistically perfect. ste A Dreaprct Tate or A Sxirt.—Dearly and devotedly did the learned and popular Dr. Fliegenblade, of Dresden, love his wife. In his eyes, no step so light, no cheek so pure, no eyes so radiant as hers. In the eyes of all the hab- itues of the promenade of Dresden, nocarriage so graceful, no taste so exqusite, no skirt so aim- ple. Broad, however, as was the expanded tlounce of Madame Fliegenblade, the fond hus- band determined to appeal to his art in chem- istry to make her tho malgsct of a hopeless and unattainable envy. Directing her, one day, before going out to expel from her skirts the air with which her faithful maid had just been fill- ing them, he infused within a subtle vapor, which not only spread them twenty-five percent beyond their ordinary circle, but which by their upward pressure upon whalebone rods that uni- ted at her waist lifted her gently from the.pave- ment, and but for a loaded satchel which he obliged her to carry in her hand, and a heavy metal belt, would have raised her light brown gaiters, and the little feet inside of them, entire- ly from the ground. Madame Fliegenblade was indeed, the envy of all the fair damsels and dames of Dresden ; and many a beauty went peevishly to bed, after vain endeavors to rival the smooth amplitude of her silken fence. Despite of all this envy, however, placidly Madame Fliegenblade went daily forth, relying trustfully upon her loaded belt. and holding faithfully upon her heavy bag. But, alas! who ean foresee every danger? In an unluck. moment, Madaine Fliegenblade was seized with a sudden faintness, while walking along a fa- vorite promenade, in the environs of the town She was borne into a store, her satchel was placed upon the counter, and the kind ladies who surrounded her made haste to relieve her of her belt. Still, she remained inanimate, whereupon they bore her into the open air, and sitting her upon a chair. stood wide apart to fe her an opportunity to respire. When,lo' iting itself from the chair, the mass of silk gradually rose, and, before the spectators could recover from their surprise, it was beyond their reach Slowly it pursued its upward way, the ill-fated ludy reposing in the centre of the risin, cloud of lawn, as peacefully as Elijah submitted to his translation. The distracted chemist ar- rived upon the ground just in time to see her disappear entirely from sight. There may now be seen, daily, on that spot, in Dresden, exactly at the hour of 5 in the afternoon, a strange, moody-looking man, who, with rapt look, and vacant stare, gazes at the heavens for an hour, as if he expected his lost darling to return; and then, folding his arms with a heavy sigh, he stalks sorrowfully home. It is useless for us to speculate upon the proba- ble fate of Madame Fliegenblade. Her husband is expecting her every day to drop from the since inte jis arms, where he lost her; but we learn that Leverrier, the great astronomer at Paris, has computed her descent to be due in 271 days, 6 hours and 22 minutes; and that in- stead of settling at Dresden, she will drop in the Canary Islands. ——+s+0e- A Far-West Saxctum.—The Kansas corres- ndent of the Richmond Enquirer, in a recent Rotter tothat paper, thus describes the sanctum of the editor of the Weekly Herald, printedin Leavenworth (Kansas) City, at the time hemade @ visit: “It will not be amiss here to give you a sketch of the office as presented to the eye of a Stranger. ‘ A visitto ike printing office afforded rich treat. On entering the first room on the right hand three law shingles were on the door; on one side was a rich bed—French blankets, sheets, table cloths, shirts, cloaks and rugs, all together ; on the wall hung hams, maps, veni- son and rich engravings, onions, portraits and boots, on the floor were a side of bacon, carved to the bone, and potatoes, stationery and books; on a nice dressing case stood a wooden tray half full of dough, while crockery occupied the pro- fessional desk. In the room on the left—the } sanctum—the housewife, cook and editor lived | in glorious unity—one person. He was seated on a stool, with a paper before him on a piece ot plank, writing a vigorous knock down toan article in the Kickapoo Pioneer, a paper of a rival city. The cooking stove was at his left, and tin kettles all round; the corn cake was a doin’ and instead of scratching his head for an idea, as editors often do he turned the cake and went ahead.” ___FOR RENT AND SALE.
