That there are "interior" views of the great subject of horticulture needing painting on its ever-living canvas, as well as "exterior" views, you, Mr. Editor, know fully as well as your Very humble servant.

The "external," it is true, is often very beautiful, noble, and grand, but at the same time it is very deceptive. Men and things constitute the world. We are often deceived by the former, but at the same time often deceive ourselves. It is of this latter we wish now to speak. Perhaps among all the various branches of horticulture, there are none more extensive than the fruit department. Men rush to its culture with sanguine expectations of monstrous results. Trees are planted on the Monday morning, and crops of its luscious fruit looked for by Saturday night The man who is making and losing money daily in speculative business, makes but a poor patron of horticulture. Pay! Pay! will it pay? is his constant theme; a word, the very sound of which blasts all vegetable life when uttered in the garden. The man who can sell a hundred pear trees, or a hundred Delawares to fruit next season, or the same year they are planted, and guarantee fruit enough from them the same year to pay for the trees, will generally find lots of customers; and hence our nurseries get rid of their rubbish. But these trees do bear fruit " the first year after planting," and some of the pear trees had two pears on, and the Delaware did show fruit; but, unfortunately, some "insect" destroyed them.

How these pears are watched by the lady and little children of the house hold ! How they long for the time to come when they shall be ripe! Bartletts! Oh! shan't we have a feast? They are ripe, and pa's going to pick them. They are picked, and "pa" puts them carefully in a basket, and away he and the pears go to the city, and they sold at a fruit store for what he can get, in order to "make it pay." How long the children cried for those pears, Mr. Editor, I can't say; but "pa" promised them the next lot, as his first sales did not pay his expenses to the city, and would have been an entire loss to him, only that he took them in his hand on the way to his office; a sort of killing "two birds" with one stone.

How many scores of families in the vicinity of all our large cities are thus left almost destitute of fruit for the sake of some paltry pittance in the shape of dollars and cents. Many gentlemen entertain the idea that fruit is injurious, or that only a very small portion should be eaten at one time. We have often seen gentlemen with a half-pound bunch of Hamburgh grapes divide it cautiously between half a dozen children, and the mother looking half frightened to death, thinking the little pale cheeks would be poisoned if they eat one more berry! Consequently " pa" is again off to market with the grapes, because he has more than he can possibly consume. "Pa," leave the grapes at home, and when you go to the city in the morning, leave the door of your grapery unlocked; let the children yet poisoned for once, and tell your own dear lady to eat all she is able to, and you will find, as a consequence of the children's every day practice, that every day they will be enabled to eat more grapes, and still more grapes; that dyspepsia will leave your daughters and consumption your bosom friend.

Ripe fruit is not injurious to any one; and of all the fruits the earth produces, the fruit of the vine would seem to be especially intended by the Creator for man's use, creative of both health and happiness. Dr. Herpin, of Mentz, in a recently published work, gives a very interesting account of the curative effects of grapes in various disorders of the human body. They act, first, by introducing large quantities of fluids into the system, which, passing through the blood, carries off by perspiration and other excretions, the effete and injurious materials of the body; secondly, as a vegetable nutritive agent, through the alburmeroid of nitrogenous and respiratory substance which the juice of the grape contains; and thirdly, as a medicine, at the same time soothing, laxative, alterative, and deferative; fourthly, by the alkalies, which diminish the plasticity of the blood, and render all more fluid; fifthly, by the various mineral elements, such as sulphates, chlorides, phosphates, etc., which are analogous, and valuable substitutes for many mineral waters.

This valuable fruit, employed rationally and methodically, aided by suitable diet and regimen, produces most important changes in the system, in favoring organic transmutations, in contributing healthy materials to the repair and reconstruction of the various tissues, and in determining the removal of vitiated matters which have become useless and injurious to the system. To the dyspeptic, we say, cultivate and eat largely of the grape. To disease, in all its various forms, we say come, come to the luscious vine, the panacea for all our ills and woes of bodily disarrangement and disease. Mothers should learn to cultivate the vine, and administer its fruit to their families, rather than nauseous drugs and sweetmeats, which often glitter with golden coats of paint to the eye of the child, though pregnant with deadly poison. Cultivate the vine, for it is Nature's great medicine, destined for the human family.

For open air culture, grow none but sweet pulpless sorts, and throw all "Bullet" varieties to the pigs, for their stomachs are better adapted for the transmutation of sour, acrid, indigestible substances than the stomachs of little children, or even men.

In our next paper, Mr. Editor, with your permission, we will give you an "Interior view" of Exotic Graperies, for we have seen of late some splendid sights, and we know yon would like to know all about it.

[We hope all the "Pas" will bear in mind the wholesome advice of Fox Meadow, and let their children have their fill of good ripe fruit. It is the cheapest and best medicine that can be administered to them. By all means leave the keys of the grapery at home, not only for the sake of the wife and children, but we might call during "Pa's" absence, and every body knows our weakness for grapes. We have great faith in the health-giving properties of ripe fruit. Children may generally be left to regulate the quantity for themselves. "Pa" need concern himself only to see that the fruit is ripe and fit to be eaten, and given at proper times. Fox Meadow understands us pretty well. Nothing would please us better than the "Interior View" of the grapery; only, if you please, Mr. Meadow, let it be practical and somewhat literal, as you usually do such things. We are always ready for the "interior" aspect of all grape questions. - Ed].
