Professor IVES, of New Haven, makes the fol-
lowing instructive reference to the late President
DWIGHT, in recent address before Horticul-
tural Society:


''He had the largest garden, the best culinary
plants, and the finest fruits in the city, and all
cultivated by his own hands. This fact will ex-
cite surprise, when it is recoected that he de-
livered lecture to bis class six days in week;
performed the duties Of Professor Of Divinity,
and superintended the government of the col
lege. He demonstrated that an abundance OF
delicious fruit might be cultivated at a very lit
tie expense. He was minute and accurate
observer of the habits and laws of vegetables,
and delighted in conversation to give or receive
instruction in horticulture. He infused into his
conversation music and poetry, and he was lis
tened to with delight even when his theme was
cultivation of CabIages. He taught that the
proper time to prime fruit trees aras IN June,
when the plant WIS in the most rapid growth;
and the reason WIS that the wound would heal
most readily that season. DIR. Dwight was
enabled to perfdm SO much and so various mental
labors, by invigrang his constitution by exercise
IN the open air No one felt more strongly the
sentiment of tn. poets


"The idle is watch that wants both hands,


AS useless when II goes when it stands.


Want of occupation i. not rest;


mind unoccuPled IS mind distressed"
