Jest of the medium height and y lodeled like a Venus, with every limb full * nd beautifully rounded, she was the most * raeoful and attraotive creature that ever f jBted upon our earth. Her features were s f the purest type of classic beauty, soft, ii loquent and expressive, and her rosy lips * ^ere parted in a smile, how perfect was * is beauty of her pearly teeth! On her soft f< nd dimpled shoulders descended in natnr* c I ringlets a cloud of flaxen tresses, casting e oft shadow upon her beautiful neck that d semed chiseled from pariao marble, so a erfect was its beauty ancr so pure its a omplexion. Her form was that of a Ye o us, but ber gentle blue eyes shadowed by d >ng silken lashes betrayed in their glance p lat retiring modesty and lovely purity of c lought of which the perfect beauty of wo>an is itselt but the symbol. Her face a urely Grecian in its contour, was indeed eautifui beyond the power of language to h xpress. I remember well, upon one arm i he wore a bracelet gleaming with a ooro al of bright diamonds and rubies. It must, t ave been a costly gem, but I thought not 1 f that then ; I only remember that when > * cold glitter attracted my glance, my 1 aze rested not upon the bauble, but upon I he full beautiful arm of parian beauty ta- 1 wring down to a delicate wrist that an in- tifo ant might almdkt span. * hit Sallie was no atrangor to mo.

Gourds, squashes or t cucumbers should never be planted in the > same garden or field with melons, for the > volatile nature ot the pollen of each will > mix, making hybirds of the next generation, i giving tbe melon a goordy, squashy flavor, > and softening tbe shell of the gourd. Tbe t melon delights in a sandy soil, and to have them in their greatest perfection, tbe groond * V..iiulU Uu tKtifjt f tLiuJyj putyuM pluweih1 t The hills should be about ten feet apart. The watermelon vine is very subject to in? i jury from water; heavy and long continue . ed tains give tbe vines the appearance of having been scalded, hence the necessity > of planting on hills instead of on a level. I Holes should be excavated and filled with i well rotted manure, with a mound made * over the manure at least twelve inches higher iu the centre than on the outside; I on the eentre of this mound, plant the seed, f plant some six or eight, and when they i have four leaves, ihin out to three plants in a bill. As the vines begin to run, , branch and bloom, pinch out the terminal bud, which will throw tbe whole vigor of . tbe vino into the young fruit just set; as i tbe fruit increases in size, take off all but f one to a branch, ar.d allow but one melon > to ripen on one branch vine. An ovorloaded melon vine will produce 1 but inferior fruit. Tbe cultivator should 1 bear in mind that the roots of melons ran ' just as fast and far as tbe vine extends, and ' that the practice of laying back the vines ' over the hills and plowing deeply between l .l- l:ii- : tku uitj uiiib, is very iiijui iuui iu mo uiv/p. A uv melon ground cannot be broken loo deep before the vines begin to run, but it is a * positive injury to the vine for the plow to go three inches below the surface, over which the vine has already run. Great ' care should be taken in handling the vines * when working among them with the hoe. ' For every tendril broken or bruised on the ' vine, the fruit is retarded in its maturity. Keep the ground clean around the vines, ' and as fast as the vine elongates a branch, ' peg it down, so that the winds may not 1 blow them about and break them. If the 5 striped bug^s troublesome, mix One portion of guano to tv o of gypsum, and duet over J the vine when tbq dew is on?the bugs will ' quickly depart Tho first melons that set on the vine will mature in four weeks from (be time of the setting. The second settings in about [ three weeks. As the season advances, they will mature in less than three weeks. I Fine crops of melons are made bj using t brush for the vines to run on, and cling to. The seed of the first melon that ripens should be saved for the next season's plantJ ing, provided it grew where no other mem bor of the melon family could impregnate it.?Cotton Planter and Soil.
