Gardening. There is hot II; life more
delightful occupation than gardening. To
breathe the pure mild air of spring, TO
prepare the beds and borders for vegeta-
bles, plants and flowers to sow the seeds
and set out the various slips and cuttings,
arranging everything with order and taste;
to look earnestly for the first leaf and bud
and flowers; to watch their growth, to
cljoy their beauty and fragrance, to show
them to ones friends, talk about them, to
have them admired, and to. know that all
thIs is the work of your hands or direc-
tons, this is an enjoyment scarcely to be
eqnalled, and accessible, in this country,
to all. Let none fail to secure it. We
always think it evidence Of a good wife,
to see her often in the garden, and fond of
inspecting and attending to its proper cul-
tivation and management l.epend upon
it, she is blessing TO her husband and
Children. We would advise our: young
friends, who wish to marry, and they are
in truth goodly number, to avoid those
who seem to have an aversion to the
primitive, useful and beautiful art Of gar
dening. We never knew lady or gen.
tleman who was extremely fond of flow
ers and shrubbery, who had not warm
hearted and generous disposition.
