Jam, THE UABHK*. Few farmer. seem to realize the importance of having a good garden, yet a good one will produce more profit, according to the labor bestowed, than any other part of the farm. A good garden is not only profitable, at producing food ibr the family, but it is pro ductive of health, as a bountiful supply of vegetables on the table, will frequently keep a family healthy: and when their food consists constantly of salt meats, potatoes, and bread only, the doctor is a frequent visitor, in many cases. The gardens that most farmers have axe a disgrace to them: —a few hills of early pota toes, beans, squashes. &c., so entangled in weeds, that a man would require a compass in a cloudy day, whan among them, to tell which way is north, and which south. There is a great mistake made, we think, by almost all people who have gardens, iu putting beets, carrots, parsuips, Ac., in beds. It is much better to grow such things in long rows, a foot to eighteen inches apart, so wide that a man may have room to walk between them easily to hoe them. Suppose you have a plot of ground plowed and harrowed, 100 feet square. First rake it off with a heavy iron rake, then set a line for the first row, drawn tight, then with the corner of your hoe, mark the row, where the seed is sown, direct ly under the line, which one can do almostas fast as a man can walk. At each end of the plat, you should have a stick for a measure of the width of the rows. Now, having marked out yonr first row, lay down the first measure, and set the line for the next one, and so on till the space you desire to sow is all marked out, "as straight as a line/' If you desire to sow beets, carrots, parsnips, and the like, the corner of the hoe should not make a furrow over an inch deep, with the dirt raised some on each side, and when the seed is sown, and the ground levelled, it will not be covered over half an inch deep, which is enongh. On this system of sowing vegetables, you will accomplish double in the same time, what you could by making beds for them, while the crops will beAuich better, owing to the fact that we generally sow seeds in rows too close in beds.— Rural American. SET OUT A GRAPE TINE. Now is a good time to prepare a spot for a grape vine. Many persons are deterred from anything of the kind by a great parade made by some persons in preparing the ground. Now take your shovel, dig out two or three wheel-barrow loads of earth and mix in with the returned soil, two wheelbarrow loads of manure, and you will have a nice bed for set ting out your plant. We ought to have men tioned, as of the greatest importance, theright selection of a spot. Open garden culture will hardly do in Maine for most kinds of grapes. Watch the effect of the frost on your dwell ings and see where it keeps off the longest* and there plant your vines. In most parts of Maine, an easterly or south easterly exposure is the best, we have a Diana which ripened well the 10th of October, and the frost had not struck it the 7th of October, when we took it down for protection in the winter. It was Dot struck the last year, till the first of No vember. It is in the corner of the L, and house on the easterly side, where it has about two and a half hours of the sun in the morn ing. A row of shrubbery is in front of it a distance of ten feet, which may have an influ ence in protecting it from the frost. W r e have noticed in onr vicinity, the White Sweet Wat er, growing in the some position and ripening nearly every year. The idea that grapes re quire the sun all day long in order to ripen them is a mistake. We have seen them run along under the caves of a building where the sun scarcely reached them, and they ripened well. The idea that grapes ripen better by pulling ofl'the leaves that cover them, we re gard as a great mistake. We want to see eve ry dwelling house in the State adorned with a grape vine. Get a Delaware grape and set it out as well in the spring as in the fall. —Maine Farmer. THE ORIGIN OF SOAP, The application of soap as a detergent is not of high antiquity. Like other useful things—eleetrie communication, for instance —it seems to have been known as a fact for a considerable time before it was turned to its most serviceable account. Soap at first was merely a cosmetic for smoothing the hair and brightening the complexion. When once its valuable detersive powers were discovered — doubtless by accident —its employment spread rapidly. Numerous soap manufactories sprang up in Italy, notable in the little sea port town of Savona, near Genoa, whence the French name of soap, "savon." The manufacture spread in Spain and France. Marseilles became famous for its marbled soaps. Our word, "soap" may come from the Latin "sapo," which is mentioned by Pli ny as an invention of the Gauls. As woolen garments preceded linen, so the fuller's art, (for cleansing, scouring, and pressing cloths and stuffs) is older than the washerwoman's being due, it appears, to one Nicias, the son of Hermias. His grand discovery would be the employment of an earth, since named af ter the persons who use it. The Roman fullers, who washed dirty to gas, were persons of no little importance. Their trade, and the manner of carrying it on, were regulated by laws such as the Lex Mt tclla tie fuUonibus. At one time fuller's earth (found of a very superior quality in Staffordshire, Bedfordshires, and other Eng lish counties) was considered so indispensa ble tor the dressing of cloth, that, to prevent foreigners from rivalling English fabrics, it was made a contraband commodity, and its exportation made equally criminal with the heinous aud wicked export of wool! How completely public opinion has changed. No weathercock could make a more perfect gyra tion from North to South, from Last to West. What is it criminal to import now? Convicts and contraband of war, perhaps, but certainly not harmless earth and wool.—London Gro cer. JIASAtiEHEJIT OF CARPETS. All kinds of carpets will wear much louger if fine straw be spread evenly on the floor, about half an inch thick, before they are fast ened down. When they lie on the bare floor, the gritty dust works through them to the floor, and as they are pressed down on and among it, they will be worn out much more than when kept from it by straw. To aid in drawing carpets close up to the base board, preparatory to nailing tbem, drive eight or ten small nails into a piece of wood, allowing them to extend about three-eighths of an inch beyond the surface, similar to a weaver's stretcher, and file them to a sharp point.— With such an instrument as this, having a long handle, one person can thrust the side of a carpet upclose to the base board, and hold it with ease, till it is naild. There is some science also in the manner of sweeping carpets correctly. Instead ot inclining the handle of the broom forward, and rolling the dirt along and pressing it into the carpet, by bearing down on the broom, the handle should be held nearly erect, and the dirt brushed along, by tonching the carpet very lightly. In this way both broom ana carpet will be worn less, and the sweeping be done better. JAMES B. FARQUHAB, Esq., Treasu rer ofiiedlord < t>unty, in account with suit! county from January 21, A. 1).

Discountenancing all unmanly exultation over or needless infliction of paiu or privation on the upholders of the lost cause, it will insist on the earliest possible restoration of the Southern States to their former power and influence in onr Union on the basis of All Rights for All thsir People. It will labor in hope to prove that the substitu tion of Free for Slave Labor must inevitably and universally conduce to the increase of Industry, Thrift, Prosperity and Wealth, so that the South, within the next ten years, inusr look back amazed on her long persistence in a practice so baleful as the chattelizing of Man. I' labor for the diffusion of Common School Education, Manufactures, the Useful Arts, Ac., tc., throughout every portion of our country, but especially throughout the sections hitherto devoid ol them, believing that every good end wiU there ij u subserved and the interest of ever? useful and worthy class promoted. It will urge the Protection of Home Industry by discriminating duties on Foreign Products im ported, with a view to drawing hither the most capable and skillful artificers and artisans of Eu rope, and the naturalizing on our soil of many branches of production hitherto all but confined to the Old World, while it would strengthen and extend those which have already a foothold among us. It will give careful attention to progress and improvement in Agriculture, doing its best at once to bring markets to the doors of our farmers and teach them how to make the most of the op portunities thus afforded them. It will devote constant attention to Markets, es pecially for Agricultural Products, with intent to save both producer and consumer from being vic timized by the speculator and forestaller. And, giving fair scope to Current Literature, to the proceedings of Congress, and to the general News of the Day, it hopes to retain its old patrons and attract many new to bear them company. We rarely employ traveling agents, as so many impostors are habitually prowling in the assumed capacity of solicitors for journals.

Speci men coyies will be promptly sent without charge to those requiring them, and we trust many friends will be moved to ask their neighbors and acquain tances to join in making up their clubs.
