With shouldered arms and cheerful face, Forward, my comrades, march away ; I have my pipe, and your embrace ; Step out--I've my discharge to-day. 'Twas wrong to be a soldier still, When in the service old I've grown ; But you, the lads I taught your drill, Will miss my old familiar tone. Conscripts, keep step, keep step, I say ; No tears for me--march, march away. A boyish ensign, fresh from school, Insulted me ; I broke his head :-- For that they tried me--'tis the rule :-- He's getting well--I die instead. With passion and with brandy nerved, From him I could not keep my fist ; Besides the " Great Man" I have served-- No weeping, comrades, I insist. Conscripts, keep step, keep, step, I say ; No tears for me--march, march away. Conscripts ! you'd scarcely change, like me, Arm or leg for a cross alon*; Mine was gained long ago, you see, In wars when kings were overthrown. For me you'd always pay the shot, When of our fights I used to talk ; Glory, however, I have not! Step on, nor sigh, as on we walk. Conscripts, keep step, keep step, I say ; No tears for me--march, march away, Robert, my comrade, pray go back, And shepherd turn, your service done-- See how these trees cast shadows back ; But spring is spring at home alone, Often for me the rising day Has given fresh charms to every word : _ They're mine no more. Come, march away, My mother lives--but God is good! Conscripts, keep step, keep step, I say ; No tears for me--march, march away. Who is it, there, that sobs so hard ? Ah !-'tis the drummer's wife, I know, In Russia--one of the reargnard-- I bore her boy through' frost and snow. Alike the father, child and wife, Without me would be 'neath the sod, She cannot give to me my life, Let her commend my soul to God. Conscripts, keep step, keep step, I say; No tears for me--march, march away. Morbleau! my pipe is out, I fear. Not yet? so much the better, then, Now the square we're coming near ; Don't bind my eyes, I beg, my men. I grieve, good friends, to bore you thus, But, most of all, don't fire too low. My time has come--now no more fuss : God keep you all--to heav'n I go. Conscripts, keep step, keep step, I say; No tears for me--march, march away. Kitehen Garden. The returns ot early vegetables already re- ceived will convince the most scertica! that a good garden "is a good thing to have in the country." Then#how much better is every thing fresh and crisp from the garden, than wh n it has been carted for miles in the waggon of the marketman, and exposed to wilt on the Stalls, or at the green grocer's door. We re- jeice with those who have a gardea, and not the less for the thought that we have had some hand in helping to make it. Asparagus.--Don't exhaust the bed by over- cropping, but stop about the middle of June, clear off the weeds, and let the plants grow. Beans.--Plant dwarfs for a succession. Limas may do well even if planted now. Give the runners poles or other support. Beets.--Sow the winter crop by the middle of June: Hoe, weed and thin the early sort. Cabbuges and Cauliflowers.--Sow for a late crop if notalready done. Transplant from seed bed. A piece of paper, an inch wide, wrapped around the stem of each plant,.at the surface of the ground, is said to keep off the cut worm. Look out for caterpillars, and destroy while young. Hoe often, and forward the early sorts by liquid manure. ' Carrots --Thin to six inches in the row. Hoe and keep the start of the weeds. Seed planted even as late as this will usually make a fair crop. Celery.--Make trenches 2 fect deep, | fort wide, and four feet apart, put im about 8 inches of well rotted manure ir the bottom, and 6 inches. of soil, and spade thoroughly. When the plantsare large enough, set out a foot apart, and if the weather is bot, shade afew days. For the late crop the plants may be picked ont from the seed bed into another bed of good soil to make them stocky. Corn--Continue to plant for Have a good stock for drying for winter. often. Capsicums or Peppers.--Set in a rich, warm place. Cucumbers.--Those started enrly need care, or the striped bug will destroy them. A frame covered with millinet will do in the small way. Where there are many hills it is difficult to pro- tect them, and good culture must be the main reliance to get them out of the reach of insects. Sprinkling with pepper, ashes. plaster, solutions of aloes. &c.,; have been recommended. Put in seeds arofind the hills to furnish young plants for the bugs. Plant the main crop for pickling, using plenty of seed. Egg Plants.--These need a light soil, well enriched, and their growth should be forwarded by frequent hoeing and doses of liquid manure. Set two feet apart in three feet rows, and hill up in hoeing. Insects --Kill wherever seen. comes much infested, destroy it. by bottles of sweetened water. fore they hatch. Lettdce.--Thin and transplant. cession. Onions--Hoe, weed,iand thin to 3 or 4 inches Mulching with sawdanst and water- ing with gas liquor have been recommended for destroying the grub, also a-dressing of salt and ashes. Parsnips.--Hoe, weed, and thin as soon as largevenough. Scw early this month if not al- ready done. Peas,---Plant: the min (crop the first of 'the month. Set brush early and keep well hoed. Potatoes.--Hoe and cultivate thoroughly. A handful of plaster to each' hill will help wonder- fully. " Radishes:--Continue to:sow for lates Rhubarb --Cut the flower stalks as soon as they appear. Bottle or dry a supply for winter succession. Hoe If a plant be- Trap moths Crush eggs be- Sow for'suc- use. Salsify.--Cultivate the same as carrots. Spinach--A succession sowing may be made. Try the New Zealand sort for summer use. Squashes,--If the first planting has failed, re- new if. The ground for late sorts to be well manured. Dust abundantly with ashes while young. Look under the leaves for the squash- bug, kill and crush its eggs. If a plant wilts, look near the root for a bug, dig it out and cover the wound with earth. Tomatoes--Some gardeners think that the best way is to let them alone, allowing them to spread over the ground. They maintain that the heat of the soil hastens the maturity of the fruit. In field culture this must be done, but where there are but few plants it is well to train them on'small twigs or pieces of brush stuck in the ground around each plant.- This exposes the foliage and fruit to the light and air better than when sprawling in a dense mass on the ground, and the fruit is kept clean. Some make a cheap frame, say two feet high, about each plant or extending along on two sides of a row of plants, over which the branches may be traiued as they grow. Drive in crotched stakes two feet high and about six feet apart, on each side of the row, and then lay poles (old bean poles. will answer) from crotch to crotch. While the plants are small, prop them up with small twigs, and when they reach the poles draw the vines over them. This plan exposes the vines to the sun, makes convenient picking, and keeps the fruit clean. Persons who have time and patience may make frames like ordin- ary grape trellises, and tie their vines to the bars, This makes a handsome show from Au- gust to October. The plant, if pinched when young, and made to grow compact, will be made self-sustaining, and fruit earlier and better than if allowed to grow at willin the usual way. Turnips.--Sow for second early. Thin and hoe. Watering.--If this must be done, the evening is the best time. A free use of the hoe will usu- ally prevent the necessity for this. Weeds.--If there are any to be seen, the gar- den is too large. The same ground cannot well grow weeds and crops. If left to fight it out by themselves, the weeds will get the best of it. Do all the heavy work with the horse power, and it will only be sport to finish in the rows with the hand hoe. Winter Cherry.--Set and cultivate as toma- toes. ps Stra re ee According to a Parliamentary return, during the past nine years 3,409 lives have been saved from shipwreck by the lifeboats of the National Institution and those belonging to the local bodies, and 2,896 by the rocket and mortar ap- paratus.. During the past year [1863] the num- bers saved were 505 by lifeboats, and 357 by the rocket and mortar apparatus. Canapian Dereices.--We would most re- spectfully suggest to our "grave and potent Senators," that Canada's best defense is Henry's Vermont Liniment. Let every man fortify his household with + bottle of this valuable remedy against disease and pain, and in this way he de- fends himself against a greater foe than any human antagonist. Use it for Rheumatism Neuralgia, toothache, headache, cholic Diarrh ca and all the pains that flesh is heir to. Warrant ed to be the best Pain Killer made. Sold by all Druggists. John F. Henry & Co. Proprietors, 303 St. Panl St. Montreal C. E. Vicrory!--What a cheering, heart. stirring werd, that implies long struggles, determined action, patient suffering, and ultimate success. A victorious army marching with all the pomp of g ittering arms and rolling drums is a glorious sight, but the conqueror of disease, though an obscure soldier, is none the less entitled to our enconiums.

Who can say they are not frequently followed by those direful diseases, Insanity and Consumption. Many are aware of the cause of their suffering, but none will confess. The records of the in- sane Assylums and the melancholy deaths by Consumption, bear ample witness to the truth of the assertion, The Ccnstitution once affected with Organic Weakness, requires the aid of me- dicine to strengthen and invigorate the system which Helmbold's Extract Buchu invariably does. A trial will convince the most skeptical. and FEMALES, FEMALES, FEMALES, Old or young, single, married, or contemplating marriage.
