Plants for HSnEinE Vases.


As q means Of floral ornament about our
houses, we arc not confined to climbing vines and
flowers trained to the posts, pillars, or connect
ing lattice.work, but over our heads and around
us the most interesting effects may be practised
by growing flowers in suspended vases or bas-
kets. Nature has kindly provided US with the
means Of enjoyment, under even apparently the
most unpropitiOus circumstances; and here she
affords large list Of plants, which not only grow
well in the shade, but from their dropping or
pendulous habit seem to have been as expressly
designed by her for this very mode Of culture, as
watch from its works seems to have been de-
signed to measure time. Some very pretty pat
terms are made Of pottery-ware; and very
handsome articles may also be made for the same
purpose out of branches Of trees-oak, cedar,
or Of some other durable wood. Common boards
may even be nailed together, and taste and in
genuity exercised in covering with bark. In
these cases the following lants will thrive WELL
requiring but little water or other attention :
Ivy.leaved snapdragons yellow creeping loose
strife, creeping saxifrage mock strawberry, large
periwinkle, lesser periwinkle, creeping periwin-
ke, cat's-tail or creeping cerus, Siebold's stOne
crop, yellow stonC-crOp or Partridge-berry, creep
ing valerian, lOphOspermums, maurandia, nierem-
bergia. .-

This may be best effected perhaps, in this way
After the ground has become hard frozen at the
commencement Of winter, and covered with snow
to the depth Of eight or ten inches, on some
mild day when the snow will pack readily, with
a roller, or otherwise, pack or stamp the snow
hard under your trees, as broad as the limbs ex-
tend, then cover with straw to the depth Of six
or eight inches, as broad as you have packed the
snow. Do rot remove the straw until the frosts
of spring are past when it may be removed
without danger to the trees.

The syringe will keep insects down in great
measure from infesting plants, but fumigating
with tobacco is absolutely necessary sometimes D.;
and Il is much better to fumigate on the first
appearance Of the green-Hy, or oPhis, than to
wait An eifectual and easy way to smoke is to
take two bricks, or three small flower pots, and
place them nearly close together on the floor Of
the greenhouse. Place large empty flower pot
on them, 50 there is space between the hole in
its bottom and the floor, that the air may draw
through it; place few chips Of wood inside this
pot, and light them with 4 little paper; throw
some coarse tobacco or tobacco stalks on the
burning chips, little at time, and the green
house will H. ten minutes be filed with smoke.
The tobacco should be slightly damp to prevent
its burning too quickly and to increase the guam
ti:y Of smoke, and put It on little at time for
the first two or three minutes. Many delicate
plants, cinGTareas, for instance, will not stand
much smoke, and should consequently be taken
out before the operation Of fumigation has COM
imenceds- Always fumigatO in the evening, and
syringe well the next morning. Give more air
to the greenhouse as the sun gets power, open
ing near or at the top Of the house to let out the
hot air this tends to prevent the plants from
drawing up weakly. No draft should be allowed
to blow through the house, for 1t hurts the young
shoots, and also young roots, by taking the
moisture out Of the porous flower pots.

Negligence In the Management OF Trees.

Nerllr.pee I'm the MANAGEMENT or Trees.
Great loss Is not unfrequently the consequence
of little negligence This remark will apply in
all lis force to tho various business DEPARTMENTS
of this busy life, whether agricultural or me-
.chanieal, commercial or scientific, to every avo-

the seopo Of this rule. Had our fathers neglected

EuchuerliRence would have been an incalculable

NEGLECT
In travelling through Northern New York and
Western Massachusetts, during the past summer,
was forcibly impressed with the advances made
in fruit culture, especially the amount Of fruit
trees planted within a few years, the history Of
which may be said in a few words. During the
excitement on the subject Of temperance, which
prevailed to great extent, some years since,
many an enthusiast thought it right to undo some
Of the work Of our fathers (who planted trees
that We might sit under their shade and enjoy
their fruits) by not only laying the axes at the
root, but by telling to the ground many valuable
orchards; sacrifice to the excitement Of the
hour. A great loss this, and one that soon came
to be realized. When fully fslt in all its eOnse-
quences, men rushed to the opposite extreme,
and ten apple trees were planted where one was
destroyed. But the planting was not confined
to apple trees alone, but embraced all the finer
varieties grown in this latitude nor was it con-
fined to that class who had resOrted to the AK,

pose you knew something Of the chopped-up man
in the box at Newgate markell"
The fellow continued to gaze into my face q
moment, and then, with a staggering, leaping
step, he turned to fee; but had watched for
this, and my right hand was upon his collar in
an instant, and with my left held pistol to his
head. At that moment my messenger returned,
and with him came the foreman. ....t-

ofcourse many questions were asked, which
answered as l thought proper. The man at first
begged Of me to shoot him, and then he began to
declare his innocence in the most frantic terms.
But could not believe him then. I took him
to London, and we soon had full proof Of his guilt
The murdered man was his father-in-law, and had
cut him off from the possession Of property. At
the last moment the villain confessed his guilt.
He had killed the old man close by the market
with club, and had then dragged the body into
an o.d cellar, and there cut It up. He left the
pieces there while he went to see If he could
get into tho market This being accomplished,
he struck light and the first thing he saw was
the box directed to Staines. He lifted it and find
ing It full-he knew It must be meat--he con-
eeived the idea Of removing some Of the contents
and packing the body in its place. He did this,
reserving only the head, which he carried with
him in bundle over his shoulder. He had in
tended to fee to the North, but fearing pursuit.
and thinking no ono would detect him IN a rough
garb, and at such rough work, and 50 near the
METROPOLIS. he had changed his mind as we have
seen. .-Ia1I sill '.''-. -a =
One Of the last acknowledgements he made was.
that "the London detectives were n strange set
of men" And told him he was not the oulv
criminal who thought so. t'1 De
