Charcoal on Flowers.

The following extract cannot fail TO be inter.
esting 10 the boanlst and the chemist, as well as
10 every lady who has u rose bush in her gar
den, or flower-pot in her parlor. 1t is from
the Paris "HortcultaraI Reuietu" of July last,
translated by Judge Meigs, Of New York, for the
Farmers Clu6 of the American institute. The
'expermenls described were made by Robert
Beruuds, who says: "About year ago | made
bargain for a rose.bush, of magnificent growth
and full of buds. | waited for them 10 bloom,
and expected roses worthy of such a noble plant,
and of the praises bestowed upon it by the ven
der. At length when ii bloomed all my hopes
were blasted. The flowers were of faded CO.
Ior, and discovered that had only mddling
multihora, stale enough therefore resolved
TO sacrifice il to some experiments which had
in view. My attention had been captivated with
the effects of charcoal 0s stated in some Eng
Iish publication. then covered the earth in
the pot, in which my rose. bush was, about half
an inch deep with pa'rerized chdrcOaU Some
days after was astonished to see the roses,
which bloomed of us fine lively rose color as
could wish! ! determined to repeat the expert
menl; and therefore, when the rose-bush had
done towering, took off all the charcoal and
put fresh earth about the roots. You may con.
ceive that waited for the next spring impa.
tienty, TO see the result Of this experiment.
When il boomed, the roses wero, as al first, pale
and discolored; but, by applying the charcoal
as before, the roses soon resumed their rosy rec
color. tried the powdered charcoal likewise
in large quantities upon my pelunias, and iount
that both the white and the violet flowers were
equally sensible TO its action. 1t always gave
great vigor to the red or violet color of the flow
ers, and the white pctunias became Ueined Soit
red or Uioist lintS; the viOletS became covere,
with irregular spots Of a biueish or almost bacI
} tint. Many persons who admired them though
that they were new varieties from tho Seed
YeilOw aOwers are, as have proved, insensibI
to the influence Of the charcoal.

LABoR.-Why man of idleness, labor rock
ed you in the cradle, and has nourished your
pampered life; without it, the woven silks and
wool upon your back would be in the silk
worms nest, &iorthe meanest thing that minis
ters of human want, save the air Of heaven,
man is indebted to toll; and even the air, by
Gods wise ordination, is breathed with labor.
1t is only the drones who toll not, who infest
the hive Of activity, like masses of corruption
and decay. The lords Of tho earth are the
working men, who can build or cast down at
their will, and who retort the sneer Of the soft
handed by pointing to their trophies, wherev-
er art, science, civilization and humanity are
known. Work on, man of toll, thy royalty is
yet to be acknowledged as labor rises up TO the
highest throne of power. ...

TOBACCO DUST AS A PROTECTION AGAINST IN
sEoTs.--We last year procured from snuff
mill barrel of dry, but damaged snuff flour,
and prepared drudging boxes, covered with fine
boiling cloth, with which we sifted it over the
surfaces Of any plants attacked by insects, and
with most signal success. The snuff should
be applied, If practicable, while the plant is wet
with dew, and repeated after every shower.
If the boxes are properly made, ( like a common
floor drudge,) and the snuff perfectly fine and
dry, little time is necessary TO 60 over an acre
of plants.--Even The rose bug, cabbage louise,
thrips on grape vines, &C., all yield 10 the in
auence Of snuff, and the most delicate plant of
the hot house is not injured by its application.
For field vegetables, causlic lime, made into a
fine powder, while dry, and applied before slack
ing by contact with the air, will produce SINH
lar results Prof. MapeS.

NoToRIETY,-Foolsl love notoriety. Themore
they are talked about tho better they feel. They
imagine they are gods, and not men when they
have secured mouths immutability by some
freak or folly. Such fame is good for nothing.
The best Of men-whose names are handed
down from the past generations, were those who
abored necessarily, during long lives, for the
good of mankind. and their fame is worth pos
sessing. The thousand human mushrooms o
the past are now forgotten. Those who made
tho most noise are the last 10 be remembered
Never seek no,oriety. Pursue your humble
calling, and if you are worthy, fame will come
in due season.

PEAcHEs.--A gentleman handed us yesterday
the following, which may be Of service to some
of our readers. A friend of mine has just in.
formed mo Of the success he met with by the
application of charcoal TO peach trees. few
years ago he had some fine peach trees in his
garden, which invariably had wormy Fruit and
the rees were full Of gum. When the fruit was
about the size Of marbles, he had the earth re
moved from each, about two feet round ant
three inches doop, and filled with CHARCOAL
Tho result was that the fruit grew TO fine size
free from worms, and every year since the frui
has been good, and the trees become health,
and free from gum, while two trees left withou
the charcoal continue TO bear wormy fruit, an
are unheallhy.--MObiie Tribune.
