The code of honor is a brutal and unio..sonablo cod.e in many respects, but aduiting that it is the part or duty of an individual to avenge his wrongs and to guard by violence hii ieputation, the code of honor is a great improvement on the ordinary and natural process of ven geance.

The Strawberry. Mr The strawberry bears the same re ation among fruits, that the violet sta loes among dowers, They are the tio arliest, and humblest, but the most nol lelicious of their families. It in a p. uestion, if the wide range of nature urnishes a more delightful sensation 0o o the palate, than in this humble do berry. One of its greatest excollen oies, consists in its being within the ur easy reach of the poor. It is a bene- m feetor of the poor, fur while it can be sbi so easily obtuined, it elevates their twtes, aid causes them to forget their ra p verty for the time; by the reflec- as tion, that the prince can procure no at h.Iter fare, There is a charaoter of ti kindness attaohod to this fruit, in its ( oefort to meet our wants so early in t the year, and by its soothing effects, b counteracting summer complaints, p soonier than other fruits. Strange, w that its cultivation is so much neg- tl lected, when a few feet of space, and C a few bours of attention will secure a bountiful supply for an ordinary family. In my estimation no part of gardeniug gives so much satisfaction as this. Eighteen months ago, I pro- i cured one hundred and fifty plants, which multiplied to such an extent in one summer, that during this season, I could easily gather a half peek of berries each day. The secret of eue. cess in Strawberry raising seems to be in securing a strong and vigorous va riety. Mine is the Wilson's Albany, and I believe it to be the best for this oli mate. It roots deeply, and is thereby enabled to *ithstanld the heat of our summers. It produces a large, sweet and finely flavored berry. It is one 3 of the very earliest, and continues bearing when even later varieties - have ceased. My vit.es are still blooming, and bearing fio berries. There is very little labor required in o their cultivation. Cutting away the weeds, ard grass, and taking off the a runneis will be suffikient during the iummer. In the fall a light docssing o of oompost need be stirred in the aoil, i and covered with a thin nat of straw. it , I&Mr kdIftor: if The summoning of an exclusively w . tie posse to guard the prisoner.

I A Novel idea. At the regular monthly inceting of he Pennsy vania Society for Promot- c ng Agrioulture, held last week, Gen. Eens.nton read an able and interest- i ng essay on the use of blue glass in t ,he development of vegetable and i inimal life : The General gave an account of an experiment of his own with a grapery of 84 by 26 feet, and 16 feet in bight t the ridge. Into the glating of the grapery, at overy seventh row of white panes, a row of violet paines (blue not being at the time procurable) bad been intro duced, alternating on opposite sides of the roof, so that a violet beam might fall eventually on every leaf in the grapery. Tbe cut tings plant ed had grown rapidly. The gardener was kept busy daily in tying up new wood %hieb, the day before, he had not observed. In a few weeks atter planting, the walls and the inside of the roof were closoly covered with luxuriant f liage. A distingushed beeduman has borne his testimony th..t he had never seen any vines that equalled those thus treated, The vines wmte planted in April, 1861. Io 1862 they bore a woimer ful number of branches. It wds found that the building, small as it wa', oontained io less than twelve hun d ee pousds of grapes. In 1863 the amonut of fruit was quite as lIO at duriig the pieceding year, aid so it continued sedson after eeason wt.h. out abatement, the vines seeming to require no time to rest. The next experiment was with t e piggery. A glazed roof half white and halt violet was placed over the building, and similar results wer; tobtained, the at.imals thriving beyond expectation. An AlderLey calf, so pony aind fee ble that its life was de-paired of, w as p laced in a pen under violet glash. Int went y.four hours a marked ehang. bad ocenrred. The calf rose to its fet, walked about the pen, took it~s food froin the anger, arid manitested great vivacity. In a few days ita feebleness bad disaprpeared ; it began to grow, amid its development was ma rvel lou. The same principles have been ap plied to the raisimng of poultry wit the most remnark rble suieess. Hurricane in Lonitnti.
