Stir a little flonr into the meat liqnor and boil i t well; lay the cooked crust on the dish and pour over it the gravy and meat. Flow er G a rden and Pleatnre GrooDd. All who have given attention to hardy shrubs know how unsightly the prevailing fashion of winter shearing—for we cannot dignify the praotice by oallirg it pruning— renders the bushes; and yet all feel the want of some method cf keeping them within bonnd.s, and in a fomewhat onltivated form. If the strong shoots are thinned ont now, all this trouble is obviated. The same remark^ apply to street trees, and all others that it is desired to keep low and basiiy to the base. Hedges must be served in the t-ame way. Trim off—regarding a due conical shape—all strong top shoots, ana suffer the weaker and lower ont-s to grow as widely and freely as they will. Plants set against walls and piazzas fre quently suffer from the want of water at this season, when even ground near is quite wet. Draw away the soil around each plant so as to form a basin; fill in with a bucket fall of deocoa of the churcb.

The time is coming when transplanted trees of the past fall and spring will suffer more than daring any other part of toe season. If they show a vigorous growth of young wood, no danger need be apprehended, as it indicates that the roots are active, and can supply all the moisture foliage calls for; but if no growth has been made, m roots have formed, and the leaves are living for the most part on the wo id and bark, the hot, drying weather will tell with injurious eftect on such trees. This is generady first shown by the peeling off of the bark on the south western aide of the tree—the most dying aspect; and when such exhaustion appears probab e, much re lief may be afforded by ontting hack some of the branches, syringing with water occasion ally, shading the trees where praotio.able, or wrapping the trunk in hay bands, or shading the south west with bou.hs or boards.

Culture of Millet. Where not only a larger supply, but a va riety ot long forage is desirable, a few acres seeded.to millet -will be found to bo of great advautage.

On soils adapted to its growth, and made rich enough, mi let will produce heavy crops of provender, and makes an excellent hay. Its yield per acre when properly cnltlvated, will very largely sceed that 'if the best timothy—four tons ) the acre having, in some instances, been jonred. There is another advantage that millet possesses which ought not to be over- ooked. It wii! grow on soils whicfi are Kit well adapted to the grasses usually onl- ivafed. It resists drought, and all kinds of itook will eat it with a relish. As to soiY—The bent soil for millet is un doubtedly a riob, light, deep, sandy loam, tlio’ with judicious cultivation, deep plough ing and complete pulverization of the laud, it will flourish on any a dl, except a tena cious clay, that is not wet or cold.

L inam e n t for S w ellings on Animals. A. Willard, Jr., in theOountry Gentleman, I aotice that an animal of E. M. GofHn, of Iowa, had a hard, call ns swelling, which lie says came on midway between the eye and nostril. I purchased a tfiree year old colt two ycai;s ago, which had a swelling, on the same place as described above, which was an objection among the horse buyers who prized tier $25 less, and feared to boy at all. I ventured to purchase, and apply what I thought might scatter it. The owner s.aid it came on about a month before I bought her, bnt did not know the cause of it. I applied the following linament, and in less than three months the swelling disappeared wholly. I consider it the best liniment extant (or swel lings on man or beast.

The farm was not a ..yalnable one. It comprised sixty acres of rough soil, which, by bard labor, had been made to suffice for the moderate wants of a small and econom ical family. In the market it would not bring over three thousand dollars, and for that amoqnt the deacon was bonnd. Ye.s- turday he had reckoned himself rioh. Now he regarded himself as a pauper. “This is indeed worse than death,” tliought the deacon with astern Borrow. “The Lord has indeed smitten me in mine old age.” Little time was given for anticipation fore the blow full.

Still ho conld overlook that, but not his son’s weakness and crime, as he termed it, by which it was lost. After Henry’s departure, the old lion^e became quieter than before. All the life had gone ont of it. Deaojn Holbrook Lim- self was a man of few words, add his tao- itornity had abated his wile’s social tenden cies. Very long, very quiet, and very tedious were the evenings which they spent together. On one side of the fireplace the deacon gravely reading through hia spectacles the agricultural paper which came weekly. Opposite him sat his wife, her fingers active ly engaged in knitting, her mind intent upon her absent boy. All was staid, quiet, subdued. There was not even a kitten to enliven the scene. Mrs. Holbrook had once ventured tc introduce ono into the house, but th > deacon speedily intimated his dislike of cats, and puss had been banished. One night Deacon Holbrook brought a letter for bis wife. It was such an nnnsnal oiroumstacoe for the good woman to receive a letter, that she took it eagerly, and tore it open with unwonted haste. ■What was it that made her eyes sparkle ■ithjov?

It lacked but a month of five years i.ince Henry Holbrook left his home. There was little change in the air of the grave, sober- looking mansion of Deacon Holbrook. The deacon himself had failed more in these five years than in any five preoeeding. Ris form had lost ita ancient ereotness, and was bow ed. His face had grown more wrinkled, and he spent more time in the bonse. Mrs. Hol brook received tidings of Henry a t short in tervals. He was well and doing well, he wrote, but did not enter into parlionlara. Of bis father he did not speak. Those let ters were all brought home from the village poat-offloe by Deacon Holbrook, but he nev er signified any onriosity o t interest to learn their contents. Henry’s name had not been mentioned between the two for years; yet— and let not this anrprise the reader—it would be hard to tell which thought o f him moat astantly. Behind the deacon’s taoiternity ire beat a heart, and that h eart wbb more tender to bis lost son than he would have been willing to confess, All a t once his qniet life was broken in np- 1 , and that in a most crnel manner.

Ladle* Travelliif. Our wives and daughters lose throe-fourths of the pleasure o f summer travel by the in- exouBf ble, the execrable perversion of true taste and common sense, in dressing for a railroad oar or a steamboat aa if they were going to a court of reception. It does seem that they have no more sense of the fi.nesa ot things than 'diote. Cannot some few gen tlemen have their own way for once, and thereby set the fashion by dressing their families for summer travel In plain, substan tial sarments, allowing no member anything beyond what a small carpet-bag would con tain, and which wonld be the sole article whiob each ono was to take off. Let ns all pat onreelves upon onr behaviour, and not upon onr dress.
