THE CHILDREN
Beautiful the children's faces
Spite of all that mare and sears
To my inmost heart appealing ;
Calling forth love:i tenderest feeling;
Steeping all my soul with tears.
Eloquent the children's faces—
Poverty's lean look, which saith,
Save us I sere us I woo surrounds us;
Little knowledge sore confounds us:
Life is but u lingering death.
(live us light amid our darkness;
Let us know the good from ill ;
e all our bliiiduess;
Love us, lead us, show us kindness—
You eau make us what you will.
We are willing ; we are ready ;
We would learn, if you would !each
We have hearts that yearn towards duty ;
We have winds alive to beauty;
Souls that any height can reach

Consecrate to man our powers i
Let In take our proper station:
We, the rising generation,
Let us runup the ago as ours
We shall be what yuu•make us I
Make us wise, and make us good I
Make us strong in thus of trial ;
Teach us tutuperauce,
Patience, kindness, fortitude I
Look into our childish fuces ;
Bea yo not our willing hearts ?
Only love us—only lead us;
Only let us know you need us,
And we all will du our parte.
We are thousands—many thousand.
Every day our ranks increase;
Let us march beneath your banner,
We, the legion of true honot.,
Combatins for love and peace I
Train us ! try us 1 days slide onward,
They can ne'er be ou rd again:

Save fro!h ignorance and ruin ;

ways manure with guano or phosphate. I
set a board upon each side of the row, so
that no dirt can get into the heart of the
plant when I commence earthing up, and
keep them there until I get my trench fill
ed as high as the surface of the ground...
The soil is a sandy loam. lam very suc
cessful, and produce it very fine. Icover
the plants with boards in Winter, and dig
out from one end of the row as 1 want it.
It should be carefully earthed up every
day. Ihe moat essential thing in raising
celery is to blanch it well
Andrei! Fuller of Brooklyn—Seymour'.
celery is the best of all that I have ever
grown, as well for my own eating as foi
sale as a market gardener. I have raised
a good deal of celery in various places—
the best on mucky land near Milwaukie I
prefer guano for manure.
T. W. Field—The manure mostly in
use among the market gardeners, is well
' decomposed. comported manure and guano.
Wm. Lawton—l am glad that this sub
ject has been introduced, since the proper
cultivation of celery is a very important
branch of business. I notice the garden
ers about here do not use boards, but they
are very careful about earthing up the
plants every day when they are dry.
Judge Meigs—l have raised celery with
success folly years. The plant loves shade
and must have it when young. I choose
such a situation as will be shaded at mid
day, as the north side of a building, or in
the shade of a tree, for the best location
for a celery plant•bed.
Dr. Wellington—The unifoim custom
here is to sell three celery plants together,
at about the saine !nice that ono brings at .
Boston, and yet the Boston celery is the
the best at three tunes the price. It grows
there fur superior to what it doe.; in this
vicinity. It is only necessary to shade the
nursling plants of celery, and not the after
growth.
Prof. Alupea—l have tried a great many
experiments in growing celery, and have
settled the whitest as the best, aid that
above all other manures, hair, such as I get
from skin dressers, put in the bottom of this
trench, is the best. The young plants I
cut back three times. taking care not to tu.
jure the crown, to make the plants strong
before they are transplanted. I prefer to
have celery beds upon an inclination where
I can run water between the rows, and I
have tried sundry things in solution as fel.-
til.zers, but never lound anything equal to
hair, though old expo,lated horns do pretty
well. Decomposed amuck mixed with send
makes an excellent soil for celery.
lIIWA New Jersey farmer hits °frame
folks handsomely. He says :
"People says the farmers are the most
independent class; and pray why shonld
we not be ? We have to work hard enough
for what we get The reason why fann
ers don't fail along with the rest, is because
we live within our meaes. I own a good
farm, and *if I was to live as peopled° in
the cities. it would take five farms to keep'
