Early Plants.

A very convenient method Of starting
early corn, sugar sane. cabbage, tomatoes,
cucumbers, and indeed almost any kind
of plants, is the following.
Take an under sod met toe grassy or
tenacious muck and cut into tubes, say
two inches each way. Insert one or more
seeds in the centre Of each. and then
pack the pieces closely together and Grm.
ly down upon a box of earth, to be kept
moderately moist. This box can be sci
in the cellar on frosty days and nights
and be carried cut into the sun at other
times. When the seeds are up and trans,
planting out is admissible. take up the
cubes and transplant them to the open
ground. This can be done without dis
turbing the roots. or scarcely retardine
the growth Of the young plants.
Seeds Of cucumbers, melons, tomatoes
&C., are sometimes planted in soil placed
in old or cheap baskets, with rather open
work. These are hung up cut of the way
of frost, being exposed to the sun during
the day. At the proper time these
baskets are simply imbedded in the hill
even with the surface, and left there
The roots will find their way out into the
soil through the open-work of the sides.
A few hills thus started, with little trou-
BILE, will often produce o crop some weeks
n advance OF those sewn at first in the
open ground.

The following singular prayer was

a miser's PRAYER. 1t is one of the examples
on record Of men combining Ia themselves
the almost fanaticism, with tina fetal ab

nine estates in the city Of London, and
likewise that have lately purchased an
estate in foe sitnpIe in the county Of
Essex ! be seech thee to preserve the two
counties Of Niddlesex and Essex from fire
and earthquakes and Of | have . mort

have an eye Of compassion on that coua
ty and for the rest Of the counties, thou
naysst deal with them as thou art pleas
ed. O, Lord enable the banks to answer
all their bills, and make my debts on
good men. Give q prosperous voyage to
the Mermaid sloep because ! have insured
it and as thou hast said the days of tbs
wicked are but shert, | trust thee that
thou will not forget thy promise, as | have
purchased an estate in reyersion, whish
will be mine upon the death of that pref
igste yosng~man, Sir q. L. Keep my
friehds from shaking, and preserve me
from thieves and houss-breakers ; and

full, that they may attend to my interest
and never cheat aae out of nay property
night or day"

Emperor Francis II.

One arm of the Danube separates the
city of Vienna from q suburban part
called L~eopsldstadt. A thaw Inundated
this part, and the lee carried away the
bridge of communication with the capt.

want Of provisions. A number of boats
were collected and loaded with bread
but nc n felt hardy enough to risk the
passage, which was rendered extremely
dangerous by large bodies of ice. Fran.
els II, who was then emperor, stood al

recompences, but all in vain; whilst, on
