A BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.

Thomas Miller in his ''Picture of Coun=
try Life" says: While wandering through
one of our cemeteries { (Highgate j last
summer, after quitting close church
yard, we were forcibly struck with the
beauty and solemnity of the great Gar
den of Graves, and the many advantages
it possessed over the narrow, noisome,
and crowded spot which We had an hour
before visited. 1t was still the land Of
death. Yet there was nothing to shock
our feelings in the solemn scene Ina
gination shadowed us for moment with
her huge wings, and se seemed tc stand
in the cabin Of vast ship, that was
manned with minister angels" all the
passengers asleep in their quiet births,
and the Great Captain SOMEWHERE above;
or at the helm, guiding the silent bark in
safety to the shores of eternity. There
was not even d feeling of loneliness about
the place; the dead that slept there,
seemed still to be with lis; we were one
company-there was no look of solitari=
ness about the spot-=the very marble on
which their names were inscribed, had a
white and sunny appearance hope and
faith stood there like twins, lighting ur
the darkness of death.''

ENERGY OF MIND.

Energy! Energy is everything: How
mean thing is man with little motive
power All the abilities which nature
has given him lie useless, like 4 great and
beautiful machine ready at every point
for useful action, but not a wheel turhs
for want of a starting power! A great
man is just like a great machine. He
has a great power to set in motion the
varied and immense projects which he has
in hand little motives can neither STAR
nor stop him they may set in full play
the powers of an ordinary man, and rem.
der him respectable. nay, even beau
tiful piece of mechanism, but never 6
magnificent one.
Yet there is one point which raises mar
supremely above the machine. By the
working of his oaon mind he can improve
and exalt himself; by directing his eye
to what is great and good he may become
so. If, then, we can become what VIZ
wish to be, what high objects should we
aim at, and what resolute and enereeti.
efforts should we be ever making to attain
them

A COLLEGE YARN.

One night as my friend P and my
self, who were both students of the old
Yale, were oft taking little run around
the city, we found ourselves at rather
late hour of the night. before the door of
a wel-known grocer, 10y the name of Snip

and gazing at Ships fancy sign, that was

he, "jast give me little hoist here, and
I'll fetch that picture down i'll double

he presented my bill this morning, and
when refused to pay it, he threatened to
inform the tutor
No sooner asked than received the
sign was down aud we we're off in tri-

out popped the head of Snip, crying:

scoundrels! Bring that ere back, l tell yer"
No answer was returned, but speci-

tread of two persons, apparently nearing

The steps of one we recognized as be

GREEN AND HOT-HOUSEs.

GREEN AND HOT-HOUSES.
Greenhouses should be kept neat, with
no rubbish, plant trimmings, dead leaves,
moss, covered pots or boxes, left upon the
floor or shelves, or dust suffered to col
lect upon the leaves. The rooms should
be aired frequently when the weather is
suitable, avoiding chilling draft directly
on the plants.
Heat must be regulated according tc
the object in view. Plants intended tc
bloom in the open borders, require q
moderate heat of from 40 to 45 degrees
while those intended for present towering
or for inducing rapid growth when the
out door planting season arrives. require
a summer temperature of from IS to II
degrees.
Acacas, heaths; ahaleas, and epacris
should be shaded from the direct rays o
the sun.
Annuals-sow in pots, for turning oil
into the borders in May.
Bedding plants-Push forward those
started last month, pinching in and regu
ating their shape.
Cacti--Water those showing flower.
Camelias-Those which have don.
Towering, examine for red spider wasl
foliage, syringe, and prune.
Carnations-Make cuttings, set out tn,
old plants for layers never keep plant
more than one winter.
Fuchsias, chrysanthemums, etc, ma,
be now propcgated by cuttings from tn
new wood. Repot and prune plants.
Geraniums, Chinese primroses, pelar
goniums, cinerarias in or near bloom, kee,
near the glass, turning frequently.
Pansies are best kept in cold frames
and sh. uld be aired and kept back by nc
admitting the light and heat.
Water is required in proportion to tn
growth of plants. AS most plants ar
now pushing out vigorously, syringe tn
walls and foliage of plants, and wet tn
floors to induce moist atmosphere fror

FOR MARCH.
FLOWER GARDEN AND LAWN.

FLOWER GARDEN AND LAWN.
Wait until the ground is settled warm
before exposing tender plants, by remov-
ing their winter protection, and before
sowing seed. Meny of the perennial
Towering plants may be divided and re-
set, by which an earlier and more perfect
bloom will be obtained. Among these
are the peony, dicentra, chrysanthemum,
sweet william, hollyhock, e-larkspur,
phlox, etc.
Flowering shrubs, especially the early
blooming sorts, may also be transplanted
As soon as the severity of winter is past,
and there is no danger of the ground
freezing up again. The disturbance of
their -rootlets, and the openness of the
soil about newly planted trees, or shrubs
render them susceptible to injury from
hard freezing.
Cuttings of hardy shrubs, etc. such as
altheas, spiraas. weigelias, forsythias,
loniceras, and the like, may be taken off
early in the month, before the buds swell.
Keep in boxes of earth or sand in the eel
lar until planting.
Bulb beds which had coating of ma
nure, leaves, or straw, given them for a
winter protection, may be partially or
wholly uncovered, toward the latter part
of the month
Pruning of roses, and other Towering
shrubs, and climbing plants may be done
at once. Each plant should be cut back
with reference to its Towering habits. By
strongly heading back those shrubs which
only yield flowers upon the terminal
branches, or on the old wood, as the mag
nolia, spifaa, etc, the bloom is nearly de
stroved.
Box Edgings--May be reset as soon
"a the soil is in condition to work. Spread
each plant out somewhat fan shaped, clit
off the tops even, and prune the root very
close, setting in trench by line, in sane
to secure quick roofing, and pack the
earth about the plants with mallet o.
FOUNDER.
Grass borders, and ttrfng generally
may be laid or repaired very early in the
season better than later. Let the soil be
low be mellow, and pack the sods closely
so that there shall be no crevices.
Manure, evenly applied upon the land
whether leached or unleached ashes, nj
, trates, guano, or ammoniacal water, will
each and all produce good results, and The
present is the best time TO manure shrub
berry and ornamental trees of all kinds 70
which coarser manures MAY be used.
! Hotbeds made for starting cuttings
and for sowing seeds, are quite indispen
sable on large place. Green cuttings
or those of soft wooded plants, need con
; siderable bottom heat, and to be kept coo
at top until they strike root. Avoid ex

ion, gradually hardening them until the,
are planted f1i,t
