HINTS FOR THE SEASON.

The winter, over a grea, portion OF the
country has been very changeable, and on
the whole wha, may be called severe upon
trees and plants ranked as tender; yet up
10 this time we are not aware that iruli-buds
have suffered seriously, but the most Try.
Ing periods for these are coming.
Mistakes are too often made in uncover
ing trees aud plants TOO early subjeciing
them to cold, biting winds, and the blight.
ing influence OF warm days, and cold frosty
nights. We advise a slight covering 10
remain until the weather is soit and gen.
ial. ......
Pruning should be completed rs soon as
possible, so Us 10 be out Of the way before
iransplan'ing and general garden work
comes along.
A sure foundation for successful gar.
dening during the coming season, is 10 be
well prepared 10 execute every operation
promptly in lis season. Seizing the first
opportunity for planting, and taking time
10 do i, well, is certain means OF sue
cess.
Laying ,urf, mending lawns. &C., where
neglected last fall, should be attended 10 as
soon as the frost is out OF The ground, TO
give the grass the advantage Of vigorous
spring growth that will put !, out Of danger
from drouih. ....
Roses, Towering shrubs, &C., should be
pruned and dressed. Many people sup
pose that rose bushes aud shrubs when
well established may be left 10 themselves
and the consequence is they become bushy
and ,wiggy, the growth is feeble, and the
flowers indifferent. They need frequent
pruninss, aud iop.dressings of good rich
compost about their roots, TO give them
vigorous growth, luxurian, foliage, and a
profusion and perfection ofbloom. In Prnn
ing both shrubs and roses, i, should no, be
forgotten that some produce their blossoms
on young wood, and some Oh wood Of lasl
year. In the latter case, sufficient, guam
liiy Of Towering wood must be left cutting
on, the older Observation-Disclosures.

COMIC MIsERIEs.
BY JOHN @. SAKE.

Ny dear young friend whose shining wit
Sets all the room ablaze,
Do at think yourself "hapPy dog"
For all your merry ways
But learn TO wear 4 sober phlz,
Be stupid il you can,
Its such very serious thing
To be n funny man
You're at an evening party, with
A group Of pleasant folks
You venture quietly TO crack
The leas, OF little jokes
A lady does nj catch the point,
And begs you 10 explain
Alas for one who drops Jest
And takes IL up again
You re talking deep philosophy
With very special force,
To edify a clergyman
With suitable discourse
You think you We got him-when he calls
A friend across the way,
A begs you n say that funny thing
You said the other day!
You drop pretty jsn Dc mot
Into neighbors ears
Who likes to give you credit, for
The clever things he hears;
And so he hawks your Jest about
The old, authentic one,
Just breaking of the point Of IL,
And leaving on, the pun!
BY sudden change in Ioliiics,
Or sadder change in folly,
You lose your love, or loaves, and fall
A prey TO melancholy,
While everybody mar:els why
