FLowERs.-Of all the minor creations Of
God flowers seem to be completely the efiu

Of all the minor objects which surround Us,
they are the least connected with our absO-

might be perfected without being attended
by the glory with which the flower is
crowned; but beauty and fragrance are
poured over the earth in blossoms of end.

admiration. The Greek, whose souls pre-
emnently sympathized with the spirit of
grace and beauty in everything were enthu.
siastic in their love and lavish in their use of
flowers. They scatter them in the porticos
Of their deities-they were strewed in their
eonqueror's path-on all occasions Of festivity
and rejoicing they were strewn about or worn
in garlands. The guests at banquets were
crowned with them; the bowl was wreatbed
with them; and whenever they wished to
throw beauty, and to express gladness like
sunshine, they cast flowers. .--.

That spy in Richmond.

The rebels, it will be remembered, were
horrl6ed, week or two before the late bat
ties, with the statement that daughter of
Mrs. Greenhow had recognized ''Seward's
chief spy leisurely enjoying himself at one
"spy" was here the other day, on his way
ap from McClellan's army, for short visit
to his home in the West He is we'll known
of the Interior Department. He was in
Richmond three times. in all. for Nc Clellan.
The result of his observations he sums up
in the declaI ton that sit will be hard joo
to take Richmond, and Nc Clellan's army is
never going to get there without assistance. -

CribbinE.

This disease. (says a correspondent Of
the " Z. Farnssr.) originates from a
sour stomach. First caused by habit
of biting the crib while eating. and in so
doing. the horse swallows wind, which
causes the stomach to become sour. Over
eating and drinking would aid in this dis
ease. A horse with this disease is the same
as person who, after eating. belches wind
from the stomach, and will in time be-
come dyspeptic.
C~rs.-Take one tablespoonful of pulver-
ICED charcoal, one teasnoonful of sal SD:
mix in gill of corn meal. and give three
times a week until cure is effected, which
will depend on the length of time the ho:s &c
has been addicted to the habit. The horse
should be fastened in the middle of the barn
floor by rope from the beam overhead, so
that he cannot get hold of any thing to bite.
and feed him from basket fastened on the
head. 1t is said by those who have tried
it to be q sure cure.

A LITTLE TOO FAST.

In addition to the 100000 men now in
our armies, and the 100000 called for, a
morning journal gravely urges the Govern
ment to call still another million men into
| the field as reserve. The intention in this
case is excellent, but surely it is absurd to
withdraw the best portion Of the labor OF the
country from the fields and workshops, and
put them into armies whore they cannot be
used, and perhaps not even fed. Do not
let US be too fast. It will be a work of
great labor. care, and expense to arm, dis
cipline, and feed the new levy of three hun
dred thousand volunteers called for. When
they are incorporated into the armies now
in the field, then the three hundred thous-
| and militia in reserve will also be matter
of time and money we cannot we'll spare;
but as to still another million, It is sheer
madness to talk of it. They would only be
in the way, and would break down the Gov
ern ment before they we're three months in
| the field. No. no; there is reason in every
thing. If one million of Northern men can
not conquer the South, two millions GER
| tainly will not. .
In the excess of their enthusiasm the peo-
pie of New Haven are determined not to toll
crate excuses of disability from serving in
the militia; hence it has been decided to pub
lish the names ofall who apply for exemption
papers, so as to hold them up to public rep
rotation. Now this is all very absurd, and
is another Indication of the national prone
ness to exaggeration and excess. About one
man in every five is really unfit for militia
~ service. and it is very wrong to force
such persons into the ranks, to the detriment
of the service. Sickness and disability are
bad enough, without the added shame of
public contempt for inability to serve in the
army. The land of steady habits ought to
show a better example.-NesU York World

Chloride of Lime.

It is not generally known that the smell
of chloride of lime is particularly offensive
TO many kinds of animals. and especially to
the common fly. the CAD fly. and singing
flies of all descrip tions. SO obnoxious in
stables. sure means to get rid of these
troublesome visitors is to place vessel
filed with chloride of lime upon q shelf. or
q board suspended to the ceiling. This
being done in the evening, and window
ldft partly open as an outlet for the flies.
none, or very few, will be found in the
room in the morning. The smell of chic
ride is by no means injurious to man or
beast; on the contrary, it is wholesome as
an absorbent of deleterious m:asms pervad-
ing the air. It need hardly be recommend
ed to repeat the expedient at short intervals,
say at least as often az once week, the
more SO as it will cost but trife and will
give no trouble.
In room-kitchen, pantry or cellar
where chloride of lime is kept, mice viii
keep off. as indeed they will from any place
where the article is used. We have seen
the experiment tried very successfully in a
large inn at Nuremberg. long infested with
rats and mice. all of which disappeared al
most suddenly, not only from the house and
outer buildings, but also from the stables
and yard.
The use of chloride of lime is not less ef-
6cacious for preserving plants from ants,
caterpiIlars and other insects. We have a
cabbage field cleared from Ills nuisance by
the simple process of sprinkling the plants
with a solution of chloride and water
which may be done by using common
hand broom or paint brush. To our Ger,
tain knowledge. piece of ground sown
with white cabbage was thus thoroughly
preserved from insects, while in the neigh
boring pieces the plants were actually de-
stroyed by them.
The same remedy is also applicable to
fruit trees, which may be preserved oil
purged from caterpillars, etc.. by mixing q
pound of chloride of lime with half pounc
of lard: this will form kind ofpaste, which
should be wrapped in tar, and tied to ths
stem or to the thicker branches of the tree
All insects will drop off almost instantane'
ously; nor will any be tempted to crawl VI
again. Even sparrows will keep away i
the leaves have been sprinkled as afore
said. H~
Experiments are being made to test th'
efficacy of chloride of lime compared with
sulphur as a remedy for the vine disease
and the destruction of the aphis, or vine
fretter.-Dsutseher Telegraph.

Book Farming.


We sometimes meet with farmers who de-
ride book learning as useless, yea, as even
hurtful to the interests of agriculture. Give
as experience, they say: that is enough, and
that is safe. We know one farmer, in par
ticular-a shrswd, keen man, who learned
his calling from his father before him, add
who still learns much by visiting his
brother agriculturists; but he has mortal
prejudice against book farming. Probably.
much of what he knows and prides himself
on knowing. is really the product Of scien-
tifc study by bookish men. If many of the
useful methods which he practices had
never been disseminated through books.
perhaps neither he nor other farmers would
ever have known them.
When man has learned something really
useful (no matter how he learns it), why
should it not End its way into print for the
benefit Of others But no-oh no! for
then it would become book farming. Some
one has likened such a narrow minded man
TO the great Omar, who said of the books in
the Aexandrian Library, eff they contain
only what is in the Koran. they are not
needed. If they contain what is not in the
Koran. it must be false. Let them be
burned" So, if papers and books contain
only what he knows, they are useless; if
they contain anything he does not know.
they must be false, and should be discard
ed. if not burued.-Ans. AgricuIturist.

and attention is being direcEed to this coun-
try as the most available source of supply.
The New York papers state that large
amounts of breadslufFs have. already been
shipped to supply the demand which begins
to be felt. This is fortunate for u.s. for the
nations of Europe will not be apt to think
of fighting people upon whom they are
dependent for bread. This will also arrest
the expectation of gold, and in little time
specie will be returning TO this couutry in
payment for wheat and corn. Nothing shows
so emphatically the resources of this coun
try as the fact that while We are at war, with
q force of more than half million in the
field or on the way, we can not only feed our
own army, but have abundance for expor-
tation. The following facts we gather from
European papers: "The cold, wet summer
has retarded vegetation to very serious ex-
tent. In England there will be but half a
grain crop, in France the prospects are
scarcely better, and private letters received
here from Germany report that the incessant
rains and backwardness of the season have
ruined the fruit and stunted the wheat. The
Vienna correspondent of the London Times
furnishes the following additional evidence
of the general failure:-'The price of grain
is rising in all parts of the Austrian en-
pire, as the weather is very unfavorable.
The corn is cut in all parts of the country,
and every second day there is thunder
storm, with long-continued and heavy rain;
in fact, this summer is one of the coolest
and wettest that has ever been knoan in Aus
tria.' "-RuroE Nea0 Yorker.
