Cultiration Of the Hyacinth-A hor
ticultural writer recommends the cultiva
ton Of this flower extensively in this coun.
try. There is no plant which SO well re.
pays the labor bestowed upon it as the
Hyacinth. 1t is unsurpassed in the beau.
~ and variety of It's colors and the rich.
ness Of its perfume. 1t is one of the
most brilliant and snowy flowers of the
parte.e. and one of the prettiest ornaments
of the drawing room. The writer above
alluded to says:
1t is singular that this plant. SO easy OF
cultivation, does not receive from the fio-
rist the attention to which its beauty and
fragrance enttle it. Collections general.
ly consist of a quantity of most degene,
rate flowers of one color; when for few
shillings. great variety NAV be procured
The Hyacinth, as well as most of this
class OF plants. when intended for the
garden or partere. should be planted in
good soil. during the month of October or
November. They should be placed about
three inches deep from the top of the
earth, and covered with litter or straw
They will bloom early in the SPRING
When the leaves are dried, which will be
IN July or august. IHey may Ue carefully
taken up and kept till the time for plant
ing again. Hyacinths intended for bloom
in winter may be planted in pots of light
loose earth, which should be kept moist
and exposed 20 as much sun and air as
possible. Those planted in glasses filled
with W ater should be refreshed with clean
,epid water every two weeks; the bottom
of the bulb should only touch the water
A very pretty way OF cultivating the Hya

we have heard good story, says the
Lynn News, which occurred at a temper
ance meeting in neighboring town
short time since.
temperance society had been formed.
which commenced under favorable ausoi.

bers many who had been incorporate.
On occasion of adopting a constitution for
the society. the question Of including CT.
der. beer. &c. came up for discussion.
and excited considerable warm debate. 1t
was urged by some, that such articles
should not be in the pledge. After an in
ferestin5 discussion. an amenden was
proposed. TO the effect that although the
pledge should include such liquors, fneaa-
bers OF the society might. if they chose.
use them, and those VINO did drink either
cider or beer were to have a +ailixed to
their names.
This proposition seemed 10 be unani.

to he taken which would adopt it. when il
was suddenly killed. and abandoned a:

sat in the cornor Of the room, and Interest,"

was one who had been very int nperato
and had been looked upon as irreclaim-
able from the vice. His words which he
told with SO mu h effect were as follows:

and cider are to have a star against their
names. | guess you raay put moon
