PRESERVING BUDS AND GRAFTs.-The
mode suggested by Il. o Yeomans, Of
Walworth, N. Y, for preserving the scions
of fruit trees IN moist saw-dust, has prov
ed superior TO any other. 1t is better than
damp moss in the facility with which the
scion may be perfectly embedded in it.
leaving no interstices, and it excels most
sand in being lighter, more spongy, and
entirely free from grit which may injure
knife. We have without any difficulty
preserved scions, which were cut in the
summer, for budding, till the following
spring, and inserted them as gratis with
entire success; and we have kept winter
cut gratis till midsummer perfectly fresh,
and employed them successfully in bud
ding. A bushel Of saw-dust will retain
its moisture for many weeks nearly unal-
tered but water must not be applied too
copiously, or water soaking and decay
will be the result. The north side of a
building, or cellar, is the best place

AT last the long voyage is almost ended
and the sailors talk only of home now. They
talk of those they are to meet of their wives
and children to whom their thoughts have SC
often wandered during these three years alb
sence. They wonder if the young sailor, AL
fred Heath, who lies so sick, ever sees his home
again, and with their rough tones subd1ed al
most to gentleness, they speak of his anxiety
to see his mother.
He is so hopelessly i'll that his heart is now
where the worn spirit ever turns in its hour OF
bitterest sorrow or its approach to the unseen
land-to God and his mother. Family as his
heart beats it still throbs with earnest desire
for life. Dim as his keen eye has become, he
fancies it would brighten once more at the
sight Of his mother, and his failing mind be
cleared could he lean on her breast.
With folded hands the young sailor prays
his words are confused and indistinct to those
who listen, but all clear. all earnest and plain
are they to the Great Listener above. And
when the ship has reached her destined port.
and mingling voices are all around the sick
sailor, his comrades bear him carefully to a
home-a miserable home-but better to him
than the rocking vessel in the midst of the
sounding sea. Now if could see mother,
he mu!tered to the strangers around him.
She is sitting by the uncovered window,
patiently reading the shipping journal, and
thinking meanwhile of her absent boy think
ing it was time for him to return, and hoping
that he will never go to sea again. How quick
the words catch her eye-Arrived, ship Ban
ner, Lowell.
And it was a week ago he could have been
at home by this time he will come tonight,
she said joyfully, as she went 10 communicate
the good news to her husband.
They watched for him in vain that night,
and then Mrs. Heath suggested what no moth
er ever failed to suggest, when the prolonged
absence Of 4 child was accounted for he

NICARAGUA ROUTE TO THE PAoIFIc.-A com
munieation from the British Consul at New York
to one Of the American gentlemen interested in the
Nicaragua grant, says that the British Government
denies the competency of the Government Of Mica
ragua to concede to any company the exclusive
navigation of the river ST. Johns by steam; and
claims that the lower part of said river belongs to
the King Of the Mosquitoes, whom Her Maiesty's
government has undertaken to protect. This OBJ
legation or claim of the British Government is of
but recent origin, and has already led to serious
difficulties with the Guatimalans 4.
