Our rcadcrs--thosc who have kept with us
through years gone by-will remember our
reception and first announcement of the wri-
tings of 'Fanny Forester" She was at that
time "A school teacher at Utica, and with one
or two intimate and most talented friends
among her pupils. She cmbellished our Jour
nal for "A while, and then appeared as an au-
thoress, with "Alderbrook' and other vol
umcS.
We had never seen "Fanny Forester till
she came to New York with DR.. Judson, hav-
ing devoted herself to missionary life. and
about to embark with her husband for India
to share his exile Of Apostc-shp and his
many and dangerous cares Looking upon
her, we saw, at once, that it was shirt
which had already outworn its frame-a
slight, pale, delicate and transparent crea
turc, every thought and feeling shining
through, and every word and movement trem-
ulous with fragility of mortal tenure. We
said farewell with no thought that she would
ever return-hardy hope that she would
reach her far-oh destination. She did ar
rive there, however. The poem above tells in
dCathlcss tears what was one hour of the
years she suffered there. She returned ut
terly bereaved and wreck in health. two
years since, and, in the retirement of her
mothers humble home, sank gradually to
the grave.
Mrs Judson, by her genius, is incidentally
one of the worlds memorable ones. To a
religious class, also, of which her husband
was shining prophet, her memory will be
dear. But there are those who look for bright
ones among the pilgrims on that path of trial
by the world unsecn-the soul-sore and heart.

ONIONS FOR FowLs.-Scarcely too much can
be said in praise of onions for fowls They
seem to be preventive and remedy for yari-
GUS diseases to which domestic poultry is
liable Having frequently tested their excel
lencies, we can speak understandingly. For
gares and Inflammation of the throat, eyes
and head, onions are almost a specific. We
would recommend feeding fowls, and especial
ly the young chicks, as many as they will eat
as often as twice or three times week They
should be finely chopped A small addition
of corn meal would be an improvement.
In connection with the above we give the
following from an English paper -
First, of the roost and nest house The
floor should be sprinkled with ashes or loan
floor should he cleaned off every week.
1.-The yard should contain a grass plat,
some fine gravel, slaked lime, dry ashes, and
pure water. The nests should be lined with
moss, heath or straw. Evidently the Dork-
ings are the best breed they will lay an
average of ls5 eggs each per annum. Fowls
with black legs are best for roasting, while
those with white legs are best for boiling
If you want them to sit early, leave the eggs
under them Fowls in their native hs bits
never lay more eggs then they can hatch
Remember that no success can he expected
from poultry keeping if their houses he damp,
cold, or badly ventilated; if their food does
not approximate TO that which they get in
a state of nature, viz, a mixture of animal
and vegetable food if the water they drink
be stagnant, the drainage Of the manure heap,
&c, or if the strongest and handsomest be
not bred from.

Culture of House Plants

The earth for pot culture of plants in rooms,
should he open and porous in texture. Thi.
can always he readily obtained hy adding q
portion of leaf mould, it at hand. or white
sand, to the earth intended to be used The
quantity Of either will depend on the kind Of
plants grown and the general stiffness. Of the
soil, For general purposes of room cultiva-
and one part of an equal mixture of sand and
old hot-bed manure or leaf mould, will be
found to grow most plants we'll In potting
plants, take care to put an inch at least of
drainage at the bottom of the pots, which
may consist of broken pots. or some siftings
of the compost used for potting.
principal point to be attended TO in cul-
tivation Of plants in doors, is to water only
when the earth in the pots becomes dry, and
then to water thoroughly, so as to wet the
whole body of earth. The surface of tho
earth will from the warmth of room, often
appear dry, when, just underneath if the sur
lace IS removed at any place quarter of an
inch deep, it will be found quite moist Then
1t wants no water. Saucers, if placed under
the pot, should never be allowed to have water
standing IN them. Few things are so preudi-
clal to all plants Except aquatics) as this.
hen the plants have been watered, all the
water that is found in the saucers half an
hour afterwards, should be emptied out.
The next important matter is to keep the
leaves of the plant clean from dust, which
they are more subject to in sitting rooms, than
IN greenhouse. This is most material, for
leaves are in some measure similar in their Of
fce to the lungs Of an animal. The best way
to keep them clean i. by Swinging, or water
ing over the top, but if this cannot be done
on account of the furniture, &c, then the
leaves should be kept clean by washing over
with wet sponge.
Insects, such as the Aphis or Green Fly,
must be watched for; if they are brushed of
on their first appearance on the ends of the
young shoots, the trouble will be but little to
keep them down. This is easily done with
q lsdy's camel's hair paint brush or few
bristles taken from long house brush and
tied together. OF course in winter the plants
must at night be removed to a part of the
room out Of the reach of frost but during
the day they should be placed as near tho
light as possible, and in mild weather the e1-
ternal air should be freely admitted. Always
keep the surface of the earth in the pots in a
loose state, by stirring it about An inch deep
or rather more, if it can be done without ma
terially injuring the roots, as 70 which their
quantity and nearness 10 the surface must he
the guide. II is essential that air should by
this means be admitted to the roots. Strict
attention to these short remarks will be found
to contribute much to the success of all hous.
plants. Nm
