the breath of summer; her touch so tender
that the simplest kindly Office soothes like a

experience might study in vain. There is u
wisdom above science in her loving heart.
She knows no sacrilices-wOnders if you
speak of any. She is calmest at times when
men yield to u turbulent sorrow. She chains
her emotions with her sense of Vigilant duty.
In her weakness she is stronger than the
strong. This mastery of self-this purity
of devotion--this eager and nnsleeping

and trust--this outpourng OF all that nature,
lofty and true, can lavish-do they not mark

How Long seeds will weep Good.

HOW h<OhE SttuH VIII AGeP 0VOus
There 10 no general answer to the ques.
ton, as seeds Of different kinds, collected
and preserved with equal care, will vary in
the length Of time they retain their powers
of termination. Some seem 70 be good
after an indefinite period, while others are
not TO be depended upon after they are n
year old The seeds of some trees will not
terminate at all il once allowed TO dry, and
others will only appear the second year
after planting. Works upon horticulture
are generally deficient in information upon
the raising of seeds and the length of time
they be safely kept. While it is safest
TO keep them at u uniform temperature Just
above freezing, there are many which will
bear great extremes of heat and cold.
Plants have been raised from seeds taken
from raspberry Jam which must have been
exposed TO a heat of 900 degrees. When
buried in the earth, below the reach of those
influences which induce termination, there
seems to be no limit TO the vitality OF some
seeds. Among plants commonly cultivated,
the seeds of carrots, onions, parsnips, and
salsafy, are not TO he relied upon when over
year old. Beets, spinach, lettuce, celery
and parsley, will keep 2 or 3 years. Rad
ishcs, cabbages and turnips, or years.
Melons and cucumbers may be kept for 10
or moro years; old seeds of these are pre-
ferred by somo gardeners, as tho vines are
said to be more prolific and less luxuriant
than those from fresh ones. Good seeds
being heavier than water will generally
sink in it, but this is not applicable to those
with hairy or spongy seed-coat; such seeds
will float even when sound The only sure
test is to try to sprout them in boxes or
pots of earth. II they do not germinate
there they should be rejected.-AmericU'

With no relenting tear.
