GARDEN GOSSIP. A FRIEND tmtd to me, After looking at the currant bushes: "Why don't you keep the worms off by syring ing them with molasses and water J1 that Is a sure preventive." "With what V" said I, rather loudly, being astonished. " Molasses and water," cried he, more loudly still, lie thought I was deaf. " Mr. Blank says," continued he, " that Is sure death to 'em ; kills 'em dead as Julius Ca-sar." I have hitherto rid myself of the pests by picking them ofF leaves and all, when the broods were ,young; a trouble willingly taken to avoid tho use of hellebore. The news pleased me greatly. A day or two after, another friend mentioned the same recipe. Thcu Mr. lllank himself told mo of his discovery, and declared that a single application had cleared off tho pests. This was highly satisfactory. It was delightful to think there would be no more loss of handsome dark green foliage; no Intru sive thought of nauseous hellebore ndxed with berries and sugar in the delectable pie. Molasses and water. How simple the remedy I How sweet the relief ! I imparted the information to a neighbor. To my surprise he drew down the left corner of his left eye with his left fore finger aud ejaculated "Bosh!" That rather hurt my feelings; still I con descended to explain to him the probable philosophical reason of the demise of the worms; that the molasses, forming a glutinous coat over their bodies,check cd the perspiration. He only said "Gammon!" My neighbor is, I am sorry to say, of rather a skeptical turn of mind. Then I resolved to put the thing to the test without delay, and told him how I once brought to a conclusion a long de bate In a village store on a winter's evening, by the proposition of actual experiment. You see, after . fully dis cussing the query "does a bucket of water weigh any more if a live lish is put into it V" without any settlement of the point, the circle of a dozen or so gathered around the red-hot stove, had been equally divided in a long and warm debate on the interesting question "does a horse weigh more after drinking than before 1"' Espying in a corner one of those good natured aud self-sacrificing souls who are always ready for anything for the sake of obliging, I said to him, " Jack, will you drink a quart of water for a quarter V" "Of course I will," said he, cheerfully. He was duly weigh ed. He drank his quart manfully. The crowd, who had by this time made their bets, breathlessly scrutinized the scales , nB 1 1 IT wnfl U11E1U IV ItT-Wt'lV 1 1 IJl 1 . ft I 1 1 1 MM n 1. n.na A. 1 1 MA . 1 .-1. 1 1 they could not make It out that the silver quarter which he had pocketed weighed about two pounds, that question was considered settled. "i But to return to our muttons, as the French say, that Is, to our molasses and water. A dose was mixed. The leaves experimented with being marked by bits of colored string, that there should be no possibility of a mistake, worms, leaves and all were dipped in. No new ly fledged medical practitioner ever watched his first patient more assiduous ly than I did those unlucky insets. At first they appeared to be considerably astonished. One would lift his head and look vaguely around with an inquiring turn, while another gave his tail a de precatory wave. There was evidently something the matter. At the end of & quarter of an hour of anxiety , I visit ed them again. Whatever the matter was, it certainly had not affected their appetites ; they were all eating as fast as ver. . The next day they spent as usual, gormandizing ravenously by long spells with short cat-naps between. In fact they appeared to rather like the idea of having their leaves sweetened ; and if I had not interfered with their prospects of celebrating the Fourth of July by picking them off and killing them on the third, they would undoubtedly have been hard at work now. So my hopes were blasied. I must reluctantly return to hand picking, and let those who will I won't use hellebore. I forgot to mention that Jack, who swallowed the quart of water, repeatedly expressed his heart-felt regret that it had not been dashed with a little spirits.
