As all the readers of "Life Thoughts" are aware, Mr BEECHER is a practical farmer and gardener, as well as an eminent preacher and divine. While wearied out, some time ago, with over-exertion in ministerial duties-from preaching EVERY NIGHT for eighteen consecutive months-he turned for relaxation to Agricultural and Floricultural studies. The Papers in this Volume are the result.
