The Fr Patiirq-. Gaede^S Mexiqo.^-Accord...
The Fr pATiirQ-. Gaede ^ s MEXiqo . ^ -According A e Abbe Glavigero , when the MexMihs were brought Mo subjection to the Calhuan and Tepanecaii riaiibiisj ^ A confined to tlie miserable little islands on the lake , SL ceased , for some years tOvcultivate the land , beuse they had none until necessity and industry io-< r ther taug ht thern tpform nioveable fields and gardens , " vhich floated on the waters of the lake . - The mode of forming these of wicker-worfe , water plants , and mud , nav be easily conceived . The boat , or basis , is comtnonly eight perches long , by three broad . They first
cultivated the maize and useful plants only ; but afterwards " there were among them gardens of flowers and odoriferous plants , which were employed in the worship of the gods , and served for the recreation of tne nobles . " At present they cultivate flowers and every sort of garden , herbs upon them , all of \ yhich thrive surprisingly . In the largest gardens there is commonly a little tree , and even a little hut , to shelter the cultivator , and defend him from rain or the sun . When the owner of a garden wishes to change his situation , to remove from a disagreeable neighbour , or
come nearer to his own fairiily , he gets into his little vessel , and by his own strength alone , if the garden is small , or with aid , if it is large , he tows it after him , and conducts it where he pleases , with the little tree and hut on it . The part of the lake where the gardens are is a place of infinite recreation , where the senses receive the highest possible gratification . Humboldt says these gardens still exist ; that the bean , pea , apple , artichoke , ciauliflbwers , and a great variety Of other culinary plants , are cultivated on theni . t —• Frotn the Gcirdifier ' s Record .
Weed Flowees of Jttne . —As the season advances the number of wild flowers increase , but the season having been more than usually late , a number of varieties that would have ceased to exhibit their beauties will still be found in flower . For this month may be looked for the following : —Most species of Rariuncula , Aquilegia , Thalictium , Papavaracese , Crusiferse , Fumiracese , Hypericacese , Greraniacese , Caryophyllacea , and most of the families allied to them ; the Eoseacea and Luguminosae , the Sedums , and many Saxifrages .
Somewhat later will be met with the Monopetalous families , the Primuiacea , and its species of Lysiinachiaj Hottonia , with others . The dead Nettle and its allies , Lamium , Galeopsis , Stachys , and Ajugaj a little later , Salvia s of the Libiate family ; among the BoraginaceiB , many species or Myosutfe-i ^ uiuj ^^ nnuiinu Accompanied with most of this genera . The Orchidaceae alidXilllacese are now in full beauty . The Botanist should not ' losb the opportunity of examining the unattractive blooms of the grasses , ere the husbandman robs him of the opportunity . —From the Gardner ' s Record .
Female Poeteaits . —It is a curious fact which you , dear madam , young and beautiful as you are , so gentle in mind and so perfect in form , may explain to a person like myself , but little acquainted with the motives that rule your sex . Why is it , I wish to know , that in all public displays , only the fat and illlooking specimens of womankind take a part , and that the youthful fair invariably avoid them ? I have seen heroines enough in every part of the globe when civil war existed , and I never knew one who had the slightest claims to being called good-looking . Even the maid of Sarngossa ( but that , observe , was before
our time ) , about whom so many romantic untruths have been written , was an old woman with a large family , the wife of an artillery-man , who , when ho wns carried off by a Fronch shell , served his gun in ordor that she might secure his rations for her devoted offspring , none but combatants having claims on ¦ tho patriotic kitchen . Nay , I am convinced that Joan of Arc was an old maid , who had no other way of bringing herself into public notice , and that the Moll Flagon of one of our farces , is the true typo of these martial daughters of Eve . —From Adventures of Our Own Correspondent .
