They should be sown rath er shallow. They arc a hardy plant and will stand some freezing, nnu are sometimes seen poking their noses up through the smw »juite unharmed. Cauliflowers should be now transplan ted in the hot-bed, and not a day fhould be lost. Onions can be set whenever the ground is fit. In warm borders, Parsnips. Horned Carrot, Long Scarlet Radish, celery, Chbbnge and Spinach seed can bo sown about the middle of the month. Rhubarb, to get a supply at onee, should be set out by separating the roots. So with Horse-Radish; but a little of the. crown of the root .should be attached to each piece. These arc perfectly hardy and can be set out at once. All the trash in the garden that was not cleared off 'ast autumn or winter, and is unfit to convert into ma nure, including the. raspberry, black berry, rose, shrubbery and grape}>ru nings, should be gathered up in heaps and on calm days burned. The rose bushes should have all the old and • dead wood removed, and the rest con siderably shortened if overgrown. Shrubbery also should be thinned out where spreading too much at the bot tom, and shortened in, especially where space is valuable. Those who desire the autumn crop, only, of the Catawissa Raspberry, should remove all the vines close to the ground. As soon as the new shoots are two or three inches high, a good mulching of stable-yard measure is excellent. After they reach a foot or eighteen inches, a mulching of grass straw, garden rakings. should be applied once or twice during the sea son. Raspberries, black berries, goose berries, currants, &c., require a loose, rich, moist soil, and this is the way to ! provide it. New Asparagus beds can be pre pared now whenever the ground is in order. For this purpose roots, one. two and three years old arc generally used. We however prefer to' plant the seed, which should be covered about two inches, and planted from two to three inches apart, in hills a foot apart each way. Three seeds should be allowed to a hill, and stuck in a triangular form, thus * %. — Planting the seed, instead of the j roots, will produce better plants and j afford a supply of asparagus jdst as early. SCRUB inva AN*l> -WASHING TUKES. —The G'■r/iiantown Tvlei/raph thinks early winter the best time for scra ping and washing the trunks of trees, ; It is well known to all observing fruit growers, that the loose bark of; trees is the winter quarters of myr iads of insects, where they securely remain until the ensuing spring, w hen the warm, genial weather warrants them to quit their cosy homes and be gin their destructive operations for the season. W'e have found a narrow saw, rather fine-toothed,.to be an ex cellent tool in rasping oil' the super fluous bark. It accomplishes mort than a hoe, trowel, or other scraper; a trowel, or a short-handled hoe, how over, is very good, when the other may not be possessed. After the bark is removed, the trunks should be wash ed with a preparation of whale-oil soap and water; say in the proportion of a pound of soap to four gallons of water. It can be applied to large trees with-a hickory "room or a stiff whitewash brush, and to small trees, \ especially dwarfs, with a hand scrub brush. Sickly trees, which can at this season be easily detected by lu -. ing covered by a species of fungus, i or perhaps more properly a peculiar insectivorous deposit, should be scrub bed so as to completely remove this. The mixture will of itself benefit the tree, while the removal from the stem of all extraneous and injurious sub stances, will give to it new health anil vigor the ensuing season—in some in stanceston surprising extent. When whale-oil soap is not obtainable, lye may be used, but it should not be very strong. THK ROLLER. —Why don't our fanners use the roller more frequent ly? Is it because they arc not wil ling to incur the expenses of purchase? Is it because they are not disposed to 1 bestow the extra amount of labor in volved in rolling their fields, or is it ■because they do not understand their uses and benefits ? Do they not know that a roller is almost indispen sable on light soils, because it presses the earth closer around smallsevds— that it is equally useful on heavy soils, „ because it crushes the clods, and*brings the pulverized earth in direct contact with the seeds—that it is good on grass fields, because it presses small stones, bones, ice.,—which would oth erwise injure the knives of the mower, —into the earth and out of the way, and that it also levels ant and mole hills; that it is useful upon wheat fields , in the spring, pressing the plants which have been thrown out by the ■ frost, into the earth again; that it ex- 1 crcises a most happy influence upon j oats, if used after the plants have at tained a bight of three or four inches; j in a word, it is good almost Every where, and ranks very properly with the most important implements of the farm.

The good gea>-e of the subjoined ex • tract, should recommend it to the atten ' tion of all those who are in any way en- trusted with the care of youth : " i ''lt is a matter of sound policy to.cul . tivate the manners of children.

The inan -1 ners to which wc refer, are the fruit of • : the cultivation of a kind heart; the out ■ pourings of benevolence, sincerity and inward purity. In all the departments and professions of life, we prefer, other ( thing* being equal, to avail ourselves , of the services of persons of agreeable , .-:nd obliging manners. They are coin of great intrinsic value, and everywhere cur rent. We may be allowed to glance at some of the features of good manners. J such as we desire to have taught and prac ; tiscd in our schools, and such as all -per sons in well ordered society are bound to observe. The conventional rules for so ciety are not arbitrary enactments; which any who choose have a right to set at dc | fiance. They arc essential to the main tenance and enjoyment of social inter course. and the furtherance of its ends. Every person who enjoys the privileges and benefits of society, is morally bound to observe its wliolsome tulles." 11l breed ing is a sin against good morals, as well as , a breach"of social laws. No person has any right to act the clown in well ordered society, or to be unkind or offensive ; set ting at defiance the laws made for its con venience and comfort, by common consent. The leading feature of good manners is a scrupulous observance of all the rules that regulate social intercourse. Let the pu pils of out schools be required to observe them in their intercourse with each oth er and their teachers, and upon all other occasions. Many of those rides abstract ly considered, arc little things; an 1 jet in their influence upon the convenience and pleasure of social intercourse, they arc gre.it things. \ particle of dust i< a small thing, yet in the eye, which it irri tates, it becomes great in its influence.— ! So an infringement of the rules of good breeding' may bo oi itself of small mo | mcnt, out it often becomes important in I the friction and irritation which it produ | ccs in social intercourse."— Rural .Vac | Yorker.

There is danger of our becoming Abolitionists; an Aboli tionist is behind the times, we must be come American citizens. [Applause.] He spoke also in regard to the next Presiden tial election, and said that we must rise to j the level of our mission; we must de mand a polis . in our candidate which is 'j thoroughly, and in the original sense of I the word, democratic, and let our plat form bo that everything which God bus ' furnished with veins must by us be provi ded with a school. • A BEAUTIFUL MIND.—A beautiful \ uiind is like a precious and prolific seed, the moister of loveliness, the fountain of bliss, the produce of many treasured an'd inestimable flowers no canker can deface nor time destiny. Even should there be I those of its lovely produce that pass away, yet the source is there, the seed remains | to revive, to remolify, to place again on | our bosom and near our hearts in renewed beauty, in the same deep interest and winning power as at first. C-x ' The saying so ofien quoted, '• The solijohuaster is abroad," originated with Lord B roughman. In one of his speech es |it is thus introduced : " Let the sol dier be abroad if he will; he can do noth ing iu this age. There is anotfier pcr j sonage abroad—a person less imposing— -1 iu the eyes of souie. perhaps, insignificant. The schoolmaster is abroad ; aud I trust to him arnie-T with his primer, against ; the soldier iu full uniform array."

(Bdwted.] . Linked Amor for Tempted Young Souls. Napoleon , that most daring of war riors, rarely ventured on the hazardous measures which characterized his cam paigns, without preparing beforehand for every conceivable emergency. His most , brilliant victories wore preceded by the j ! most prepared precautions j against the possibilities of defeat. This j.' habit gave him and his army confidence in the hour of peril. Ilis failure to abide j .by it in his Russian campaign led to disasters of his retreat from Moscow.— ! llad he begun his splendid military ca . reer with such neglect, it wouM have been ! broken off at its beginning. lie would j. | have found his Waterloo at Austerlitz. Let me persuade you my dear reader to ( ! adopt his habit of precaution in the gffeat j campaign of life. You have seen that. | in common with all your species, your na ] turc has tendencies to acts which may in )! voire you in social shame, and bringj-ou ; to a disreputable grave. "Vou liave also i ! seen how totally miserable your present i means of protection are. Seeing then, j I that you are exposed to serious danger, j j and are so unprepared to meet it, you can- j not be without a strong desire to know on what you may rely for victory in this in- j I e\ itable battle. To suppose the contrary : j would be to offer an insult to your reason, | because it would presume you to be iu- j j different to one of your most important I i life results. Ymi are not thus indifferent. I Vou have a desire to avoid the ruin of j your earthly well-being. Having made [ a prosperous entrance upon the stage of j | lifcv you would like to make your exit ; I front it at least without dishonor. Suffer me, therefore, to point you to the i | religion of Jesus Christ as the only relia- ; j blc means of self-conquest, and of victo- j I ry over those tempters of the passions, de- I | sires, and affections which seek your ruin, j j Hear what the Holy Spirit saith to you | !on this subject: " Whatsoever is born of j God overcometh the world. Who is he \ j that ovcrcomcth the trorlil, but lu that he- \ \ lievcth that is tin Son qf God ? 11' ■ that in hyotlm o/m God kecpHh him * It', j I ! and that iciilcd one tou, hrth him. not." | These arc the words of Divine wisdom, j | They teach you that a renewed heart sus tained by faith iu Christ, an 1 that only, j . 1 can secure you that victory over yourself i and the world which, as 1 have shown-, is j | the condition of your moral safety. Let ! • ] me now show you how a renewed heart ! 1 j fits its possessor for successful conflict in ,| : the battle of life. Two facts, taken from 1 1 [ ilie lives of holy men, will bring out one j of its methods. j Three hundred years ago a weavers ap- j prentice, named William Hunter, was cast ! into prison by the ferocious Bishop lion- I /o;/ for reading the Bible «nd professing; his faith in its doctrines. After beinj; ! ! confined in the stocks and loaded with j j chains, through nine weary months of life, | in a wretched dungeon, the youth was car- j 1 ried before the bishop. I "If you recant," said that mitered mon- ! , ster. '■ 1 will give you forty pounds and set ; i you up in business." { The youth modestly hut firmly declined I ! the offer. '• I will make you steward of j my own house," added Bonner putting all ! the gentleness of which his brutal nature > I was capable into his vo'u'e and manner. I j " But. my lord," replied the lad, "if you ! | cannot persuade my conscience by Script- j i urc. I cannot find it iu my heart to turn 1 i from God for the love of the world ; for 1 | count worldly things but loss in compari i son with the love of Christ." ! The bishop was enraged :•• Will ueith- j ! er' threats nor promises avail ?" he cried, | i " Then away with him to the fire'" And to the fire he went, firmly, fearless lv. joyfully. "I am not afraid*!" he shout- ! ed from amid the flames, aud his noble j spirit ascended to heaven. My second fact relates to Gordon Halt. ' God called him to the work of missions. | , and he went to the East Indies. After a 1 | time his influence with the natives became ; j powerful. This, with Ins other qualifica ; [ tions, made his services desirable to the East India Company. They offered him : thirteen thousand dollarsayearif he would 1 quit his missionary work and enter their I son-ice. He refused. They then offered ' | him fifty dollars a week for occasional aid. , ; This also he declined in these noble words: '• No money can tempt me to relinquish my work !" In these two facts you cannot fail to see the more than regal sway which conscience maintained over the souls of these good men. With the martyr's fire ou one side, j and the favor of a rich and powerful hish- j op on the other.young Hunter's conscieuce made him superior both to the fear of death and the attractions of g jld. It bound him j j to the post of duty, albeit it was in the ! ■ | midst of flames. So also in the case of Gordon Itull.— ' ! A high aud houorable office tempted his I ; ambition; a li£e «112 light labor pleaded > Jtvith his love of ease; mauimou appealed i to his love of gain. All these combined" to induce him to quit the post of duty, | which was set iu (he midst of toil andpov- t erty. But his conscience bourid him firm- j ly to the right, and kept him from forsak ing his Master's work. Tote continuorl.
