THE FAR)! AND GARDEN. HINTS ron SPRING.

Make gates and hang them, re-hang old gates ; nail _loose boards on old barns and old fences; repair all tools, as plougha, barrows, rakes, &c,; oil harness; paint tools ; provide a place for every- thing,and let everything be in its place; lay up fallen rails, tumbling walls and tottering fences; draw out old stumps; see to water-furrows in wheat

elda; cut up stove-wood for next summer's use; examine vegetables in cellars, pick over apples and use the partly rotten, and put door-yard, tool-

oiises, and all out-houses in “apple-pie order,” and keep them so; cut grafts of the very best varieties of fruit and save them till next month, by inserting the lower ends in moist sand in a cellar; make grafting wax by heating together one part beeswax, two of tallow, and three or four of rosin ; fruit trees should now be pruned, but prune carefully and sparingly; do not mutilate. The best composition to cover the wounds made in pruning, is alcohol and shellac, about as thick as paint, kept corked in a bottle, and applied with a brush—tar and biickdust makes is good and much cheaper oiie.

CURRANT arm Gocsaacnnr Bosiiirs.—Cutuut all old or decayed wood and straggling shoots so as to admit plenty oflight and air, and leave young and thrifty wood to produce the fruit, which will be greatly improved thereby. The farmer will take advantage of any ﬁne weather that may occur this month, to commence plough- ing for the spring crops Especially he will see that everything is in order for the active duties of next month. The gardener may improve his time, in line weather by commencing to clear up the grounds, pruniti fruit trees and grape vines, which should be done as early as possible, other- wise they will bleed when cut.

PLANT Titans AND Siiituss.—Wlien the air is‘

not freezing, fruit and ornamental trees and may be planted. No man who understands him- self, wil be disposed to undervalue what, liy too many are considered small matters. The planting of a tree for ornament or for use, the rose, lilac, ; or snowball for their fragrance or beautiful ap- l peitunce—-the bed ofsirawberries for the graiiﬁ- ‘ cation of the pslale—the training of the clematis, orthe honeysuckle over the window, to temper, the light and refresh the eye with their vivid, '

reen, waving foliage, we consider are no small matters at all. But, on the contrary, it goes tol show that we will enjoy some of the beauties, as well as the bounties, of creation.

A eitnr Ci..ocit.—Thc largest clock ever com I structed has just been ﬁnished by Mr. Dent for the new Houses of Parliament. The dials are twenty-two feet: in diameter; the point of the minute hand will therefore move nearly fourteen inches every minute. The pendulum is fifteen feet long. The hour bell is 8 feet high and weighs ﬁfteen tons. he hammer weighs four cwt. The clock, as a whole is eight times as large as ‘ a full sized cathedral clock. I

Swaniiiisars AND Wivm.——In a general way there ain’t more dillerence between it grub and it butterﬂy than between it sweetheart and wife. Yet the grub and the butterfly is the seine thing only differently ri ged out, and so is the sweet- heart and wife. oth critturs crawl about the ‘ house, and ain't very attractive to look at, and both turn out so ﬁne and so painted when they

They don't go straight there, and back again, as if there were an end in view, but they first ﬂaunt to the right, and then to the left, and than everywhere in general, and yet no- where in particular. To be seen and ndmir is the object of both. They are all linery, and that is so in their way that they can neither sit, walk, nor stand conveniently in _it. They

“Tue Wnou IIoc."—Roger Sherman and Perry Smith were opposed to each other as advocates in an important case before it court of ustlce. Smith opened the case with a vlo out tirade against Shereman’s political character. hermsn rose and very compoaedly remarked I is a u muses punts vii

Mr. Smith before th

a court; but I am psi-’fectly willingly to argue ¢_]uest_ions_of law, to chop logic, or even to split hairs with him." “ Split that, then," said Smith, at the same_ time

ulling a short rough-looking hair from his own

THE SEIIFS OF‘ THE CRIMEA.

"The condition ofserfs in the Crimea. as in other parts of Russia, differs, ofcouras, according to the character and disposition of their masters. Many are ruled with an ‘aim hand; harsh words, thredta, and even blows, being of no uncommon occurrence. Others, again, seem to be perfectly happy in their own homes, and nits contented with their lot. As soon as chil ren attain the age of eight or nine years. the master decides what trade they are to follow. Some of the atnsllest boys are fixed upon as lacqueys. coach- men, or tilliona; and the rest are brought up to he ate le-boys, cooks, carpenters, gardeners, or to any useful employment about the property. In

shrubs ".3

many large establishments, where the families of the household servants are too numerous for these occupationa,aome of them learn shoemaking; and many are allowed to hire themselves out to others, upon paying a certain sum annually to their master. With the exception of some of the superior household servants. whose ideas are it

iitle more reﬁned, the style of living of the Russian peasant is little removed from that of the brute beasts. Men, women, and children occupy one room, and eat out of one dish; they never take oil‘ their clothes, from one week's end to the other, except when they go to the bath; and they sleep on the top of their stoves, on the floor, or in the open air, according to the season, or as chance may require.”

The Crimea: Its Towns, Inhabitarits, cfc. By a Lady,—According to the representations of the lady writer of this book, night and day scarcely stand in more distinct antagonism to each other, than do the northern and southern parts of the

times ;—the northern consisting of a series of plains and steppes; while, as if to balance this continuity of ﬂatness and desolation, Nature seems to have lavished all her grandeur and beauty on the southern part. The lower part of the Crimea towards the south is popularly known as Russian ltaIy.—Thc general features of this range are bold crsgs and ravines, covered with never-ending forests of pine and oak, and which form. a striliing conlrasl tothe splendid walnut, chestnut, mulbery, and cypress trees, which vie with one another in beauty, lower down towards the sea. As this chain of mountains forms a screen against the biting winds fioin the north, the climate is much milder here than on the other side : and although an occasional winter's frost destroys many of the plants which have remained unharmed for years, yet the rhododendron, the magnolia, and many delicate plants, may be seen oflarge size in the open air. It is in these nooks and corners by the sea-side, and under the stupendous crags, that the veller ﬁnds the luxurious villas of the Russian nobles. The soil here is particularly suited to the cultivation ofthe vine, and from its warm, sunny exposures, the wine is equal in strength and quality to that of the South of France. The ﬁg-tree, the pomegranate with its showy scarlet

lblossoms, and the lively little caper bush, are

everywhere to be seen. Olive groves also are here and there to be met with ; but they are not widely cultivated, as the ground is more proﬁtably laid out in vineyardys.”

THE BEAUTIES OF A TARTAR SPRING.

“ As we go northward, the steppe assumes its grand characteristic, presenting a huge circle of ﬂatness, where nothing is seen but the over-

larching sky and the conical-shaped tumuli, wh h

rise every here and there, like monster mole-hiya, on the surface of the plain. These steppes are very beautiful in spring, when the wide-spread green of the young grass becomes converted into a sea of wild ﬂowers, yielding to the wind, which sways backwards and forwards their masses of varied colour, like waves on the shore. Fancy whole miles of purple larkspur gleaming in the sunshine, intersected with patches of bright scarlet poppy; and the pink-coloured wild peach

v shrub, with gaudy tulips and crocuses, contribut-

iiig also their ﬁne contrasting hues. ut, alas! these beauties soon vanish at the approach of summer, and are succeeded by a tall, feathery grass, such as I have often seen grown in gardens in England. Fortunately, this grass is confined to certain districts, for sheep cannot pasture where it grows, in consequence of the subtle art which ‘its seed possesses of working its way into their sltin. In summer, the Crimea becomes literally baked with heat; and by the end of.lune the grass on the steppe is yellow and parched. It is at this season, that the mirage is most frcquent,and it really helps to beguile the way by presenting a temporary excitement to the traveller. Driving along the steppe, suddenly something seems to arise like a city, glittering through a mist in the distance; gradually an ap- pearance of towers and trees comes out more clearly; as you advance, new spires arise, amt trees, bridges, and rivers appear—a picturesque coinbinstion. By-and-by they sink into confusion; and ii ban you arrive there, where stood the city of enchantmsnt, all has vanished away, and you ﬁll“ . but the waving of the parched grass as before. “‘ From the tear and wear ofthe clayey soil during ." the long droughts, which often last for months during atlfllmﬂf, there is a great accumulatio of . . fietiiient occurrence on the steppe, reminding one

of water-spouts on the see, but ﬁlled with dust instead of water. Suppose the great flat steppe stretched out beneath the blue sky—nothing visi- blt-—-no breath of air apparently stirring-the whole plain an embodiment of sultrineea, silence,

and calrnness-—-when gradually rise in thedistsnce

six or eight coliimna of dust, like inverted cones.

two or three hundred feet high, gliding and gliding along the plain in solemn company; they approach. they pass, and vanish again in the dis- tance& like huge genii on some preterustural erran .

THE TERROR OF THE CRIXIA.

"About six years ago, a chivalveue Tartar robber. called Alim, struck terror into all the in. hahitanta of the country, and caused the govern- ment authoritiea to make many a fruitless excur- sion in search of him. He was armed with a dagger and pistols; and, as he invariably appeared at the place where he was least expected, his victims were so paralysed with astonishment, that they oﬂaied no resistance. Many were ihg
