To PuRIFY WATER.-Nine ounces
(says the Scientific American) of pure,
fresh lime, dissolved in 40 gallons of wa
ter. will purify $50 gallons of hard water;
the precip;ta'e is chalk. II takes sixteen
hours for the water to settle, and all the
impurities to settle to the bottom of the
vessel which contains the water. This
is useful fact in chemistry. and is not
very extensively known.

successful in the garden OF one Of our

AS soon as the fruit began TO form, &

lime into the garden, and with large
shovel threw the lime among the trees,
covering them completely, and to use
his own expression, making perfect
snaudge." AT this they seemed dis
pleased and left; he observed them crawl
ing over the lime covered fruit in few
instances, but they appeared restless and
uneasy, and soon left. Along in June
they again made their appearance, and
the lining was repeated, which was a.
gain successful in driving them away
once again, jus: before the plums began
TO ripen. he gave the trees another dose,

Arrangements have been made to fur

OF the knickerbocker Magazine, edited
by Lewis Gaylord Clark, il is unneces-
sary to speak. For 90 years il has been
the most genial, humorous, and spicy

by Geo. p. Morris, and ". p. Willis, is
well known as the best family newspa-
per in America; and the Musical World
and Times, edited Richard Storrs Willis,
with Lowell Mason, Geo. F. Root, and

The widespread circulation and ac-

BURNS OF the ablest Artists, are enlisted 10
eerich and adorn their pages--and ALL THAT
is NOW FAMOUS IN LETTERS Or BEAUTIFUL
In ENaRAvIaGs, in the world of periodical
literature, is owing to the fostering care
and lavish expense of these two prominent

will surpass in the GREATNESS, ELEaAHcE

ever been attempted, and as the works are
dissimilar, have resolved to place BOTH
within the reach of ALL, who desire to keep
thoroughly posted up in the rapidly i'm

Periodical Literature of the Age.
The best and freshest, both in Literature
and Art, will be found in their ample and
