VEGETABLE INsTINcT.-1f a pan of
water be placed within six inches of eth
er side of the stem of a young pumpkin
or vegetable marrow, it will, in the
course of the night, approach it, and will
be found in the morning, with one of its
leaves floating on the water. The ex-
pertinent may be continued nightly, uD-
til the plant begins to fruit. If prop
be placed within six inches of young
convolvulue. or scarlet runner, it will
find it, although the prop may be shifted
daily If, after it has twined some dis
tance up the top, it be unwound and
twined in the opposite direction, it will
turn to it's original position, or die in
the attempt, yet notwithstanding, if two
Of these plants grow near each other,
and have no sticks around which they
twine, one of them will alter the direc-
ton Of its spiral, and they will twine
around each other.
Duhamel placed some kidney beans in
a cylinder of earth after while they
commenced to gernlinate, of course,
sending plume upwards to the light, and
the root down into the SOIL After few
days the cylinder was turned one-fourth
round, and again this was repeated, un-
til an entire revolution was completed.
The beans were then taken out of the
earth, and it was found that both the
plume and radical had bent to accom-
modate themselves to every revolution,
and the one in It's efforts to ascend per-
pendicularly, and the other to descend,
they had formed perfect spiral. But
although the natural tendency of the
roots is downward, if the soil beneath
be dry, and any damp substance be
above, the roots will descend to reach
it.

ings and sentiments there acquired and
cultivated.
One of the steps of progress most
commendable, is that which has done
away with the idea of consigning the
child, during the houls of its mental
tagging, to hot and sitting, cold and
unhealthy, or disagreeable school room,
more fit for brutes than human crea-
lures with immortal minds. How can
the pupil love his studies when he is
sent away from the nicely carpeted par
lor, with its beautiful fixtures, and hap
py home faces, comforts and pleasures,
to gloomy and dirty school room pris
on, where no object pleasant to look up
on meets his eve And what must he
think of the parental love which seems
perfectly satisfied, so he is out Of the way,
that he spends the hour of study in a
barn, making what should be a pleasure,
nothing more or less than hateful task ?
The school room should be more than
comfortable. 1t should be made as
pleasant to the senses as possible. The
beautiful should be there as well as the
useful-the beautiful IS useful 1t would
be hopeful as well as happy day, for
Juniors and seniors, when the walls Of
the school room should be decorated with
paintings and statutes, as regularly as
they are with black boards, and the
shelves and desks are with books, pens,
paper and States. Thus the common
rudiments of education will be modified
by the influences Of a higher and more
elevating influence. 1t is not in the
midst of squalor that the intellect and
soul are likely to be the most highly de-
veloped Our surroundings become a
part of ourselves through their infuen-
ces upon us Wherefore we say, make
the school room just as beautiful as poss-
ible, for that will make better pupils and
better teachers.

A SrRIGISG THoUcHr.-'e The death
Of an old mans wife," says Lamartins
{" is ike cutting down an ancient oak
that has long shaded the family mansion.
Henceforth the glare of the world, with
its cares and vicisitudes, fall upon the
old widower's heart, and there is moth
ing to break their force or shield it from
the full weight of misfortune. 1t is as
if his right hand was withered-as if one
wing of an eagle was broken, and every
movement that he made only brought
him to the ground. His eyes were dim
and CLASSY, and when the film of death
fails over him, he misses those aecustom-
ed tones which might have soothed his
passage to the grave
