dry; they should not, therefore, be watered
at night if you can avoid it.
Different kinds OF plants require different
soils; but il would be impossible in this
communication, TO give any thing more Than
a general rule. For soft wooded plants, a
good soil from the garden, lghiened with
leaf mould, or rotted chips, or well decom-
posed peat, and some sand say one quarter
vegetable mould, one quarter coarse sand,
and one half rich garden soil of an open tex
ture. For hard wooded plants, the loan
should be stronger, and little less sand. If
you cannot get fresh soil, the exhausted soil
in the pot may be renovated by watering
with liquid guano, one ounce to one goilon of
uoter, or with carbonate of ammonia, half
teaspoonful to fsoo gallons-remembering
that these liquids must not be used but once
week, nor so often if the roots be destroy
ed to any great extent. These articles may
not be convenient 10 some of your readers,
would add therefore, that SCOT, proportion
Of one pint to tscO gallons Of water, TO stand
twenty-four hours, and then used as above,
is very nearly as good; and either of these
methods will procure a fine growth and
bloom.
Plants which have been kept in the warm
room all winter and constantly excited into
growth, will be likely to be etioated, or
draw up weakly. lfyou wish to keep them
growing, lit would be better for the plants to
give them repose by Withholding supplies Of
water until the wood ripened and then put
down cellar) cut back the struggling shoots
TO strong bud, aud water with some of the
liquids mentioned above. Do not throw a.
way the prunings of your plants, but strike
cuttings from them to make young plants,
and Fyou have any 10 spare, give them 10
some poor woman who loves them, with a
copy of this paper, and you will add to the
sum of human enjoyment, and make anoih-
er happier and yourself the better for it; you
will minister to an innocent pleasure and
delicate taste. If you have no plants to
spare, give some seeds or cutting of rose
or geranium; you will never repent of it.
Yours truly. E w. B.

MoSUmESr TO WAsHISoTos.--Mr Pratt Of New
York has introduced bill into Congress to appro.
pirate $4,000 towards erecting Monument to
Washington. Something like that sum has already
been collected by the Monument Society, and The
sums put together would, il is said make very
respectable erection. We trust this matter will be
cut short in the beginning. otherwise il will lie but
the commencement Of appropriations for that pur.
pose. The idea Of depending upon worthless stone
and mortar to perpetuate the me mory of Washing

the butt Of his stepfather's good natured rid
lcule. The honest man would say, "He did
not see what good there was in so much
learning 1t neither helped hoe the corn
nor plant the potatoes; and as for 'landskips,
as Charles calls them, he had rather see the
deep red, shining sides of his four year Odds
than all the skips in the world" But
Charles found dear and approaching
friend in Mr.. Clayton. The old pastor, de-
lighted with the boys quickness of percep-
ton and cagerness TO acquire knowledge,
willingly reiraced with him the studies of his
earlier years. In the interest he felt for the
boy, and the delight he found superniend-
ing his studies, he seemed to find again some
OF the long lost pleasures Of his boy
hood and youth. Chares's mental life ad-
vanced rapidly. As he grew older he be-
came different from the young people around
him in the village He no longer took the
same interest in their pleasures, though he
sometimes mingled with them, and listened
kindly to their plans of amusement. He
was respected by them, yet like all those
who live more from within than from with
ont, he was neither understood nor apprec-
ated. After the death of his mother he felt
more alone than ever He had indeed moth
ing left, save the love of Mr.. Clayton, aunt
Esther and Lucy. But this was priceless
possession. Its inspiration made his soul
strong and buoyant He saw a struggle be-
fore him as he looked into the future, but
his eye grew clear, and his heart sweled
with gladness and courage. One week after
his interview with Lucy at the spring, he
was on his way 10 the West.
