Ue described the scene to his f.tlicr iu Germany, and sent with Ids own a letter which he discovered in the baud of a French captain, whom he /ouud dead.ou the field. The letter read a$ follows. Mi/ Uuu-^jpa .-—Since you are gone, I never cease to think of you.

W two ■ f Thus far February baa been unpropitioa? for outdoor work iwrbether on the farm or tft tbe garden Our, friends will do well to bold themselves in readiness to take ad vfntnjr* of the first good , weather, as work will be apt soon to crowd: upon tlreiji, We repeat oty ath ice, to sow,,clover and gras* sendn, U not already done, with as little delay as possible. S$* that tfca fartft.un “r^ pients are ail in good order. Wet.aup pose the tobacco planter prepared beds last ! month ; if not, no time is to bo lost in or dor to bare gopd well looted plants. Ex cellent direction* were given in 1’he Mes tenger two weeks ago by r ue of our corres pniidtea'a, to which the reader is referred, (lather op all the fertilizing materials that accumulate about the homestead, and make compost heaps, adding a proportion of sta ble manure. Ashes should be carefully saved. They are a valuable ingredient in j composts, and excellent when applied to ; the land as a top-dressing for winter grain. All domestic animals require strict attention st this season to enable them the better to withstand the pinch blasts of March. They should be well fed, and have the benefit of a good shelter. THE GAM1EM. Hot-feeds are very useful in forwarding I certain kinds of vegetables, such as toma- i toes, egg plants and early cabbages, but they require skill in their management. In their absence select a warm and well shel tered spot on the sunny side of the enclo sure, and sow lettuce, early cabbage and radishes. Plant potatoes, peas, parsnips, beets and carrots as soon as tbe ground can I be put iu order. Prune grape vines, raspberries, gooseberries and currants. We hope every garden baa a moderate stock at least of these: if not, don’t let another sea son pass without procuring some. Rooted plants are now very cheap. A good mana ger can keep bis family supplied with fruit from the-garden from the middle of May to tbe middle of September—good, whole some fruit, which, besides. hp'nw « -nunmBSTffir greaflj” to thsir health. A dozen Concord grapes may be bad /or*a dollar or less.; Philadelphia raspberries for two or three. dollars a hun Ircd,’’and other things in proportion. Above all, plant one or two squares- in •strawbeWlies— in Wilson as as the standard, Philadelphia for early, and Green Prolific for late. A plain family need desire nothing more; ama teurs may mulnply tbe varieties indefini'ely. If well cultivated, ou good ground, jt is almost incredible bow small number of these plants will snpply a family with the daily luxury of fruit for three or four weeks. We know of no vegetable more useful and healthful than asparagus. It comes at a time when little else is to .heJi ad. except spring salad and dry beans. No garden : should be without a bed. The fashion used ! to be to make a deep excavation, and set; the roots a foot apart each way . Now we j eive dis'ance and save the annual dressings ! of manure. Get a hundred good one-year old roots, or any larger number, and if I economy of land is no object, plant four j feet -each way, fitting tjie crowns three inches under the level surface, and using a shovel full of well-rotted manure. If the ground is well prepared and kept properly worked, the ghoots may be cut the third year ,; indeed, a few the second year. The •blanching is, effected by raising a mound over each plant like a potato hill. The giant asparagus is the kind generally plant edI; but if stalks of extra largo size are wanted, get Cgnoyer's Colossal, a new kiud W’biab is gaining signal favor, ^sparagus plants are readily raised from the seed ; and if .fresh *ee<|. are planted now, they will come up sQpn after the ground becomes warm An ounce .of seed will pioditce nearly a thousaud plants. Farmer’s Creed.—We "believe in small larins^atid tliorbhgh cultivation. We believe the soil loves to eat as well as the owner, qnd ought, therefore, to be well manured. We believe in going to the bottom of a thing, and therefore in deep plowing, aud enough of it'. All the better if it be sub soil plow. We believe in largo crops which leave laud better than they found it, making both the farm and farmer rich at once. We believe that every farm shauld own a good former. We believe the fertilizer of any soil is a spirit of industry, enterprise and iatelli genee—without these, lime gypsum and guano, will "tie of little-use. > Mf e believe in good fences, good farm bouses, good orchards, aud children enough, to gather the fruit. We heiieve ip a clean kitchen, a neat wife in it, a clean cupboard, a clean dairy and a cleat} conscience. j The cultivation W$''b«iaa&3" R gradually ' spreading in cur £»«tbrrn States. t.
