How TO PRESERVE BouQuET.-
"When you receive a bouquet, sprinkle it
lightly with fresh water, then put it gto
vessel containing some soap suds, which
noUrsh the roots and keep the flowers as
bright as new. Take the bouquet out of
the suds every morning, and lay it SIDE
ways in fresh water, the stock entering
first into the water-keep it there minute
or two, then lake it out, and sprinkle the
flowers lightly by the hand with pure
water. Replace the bouquet in the soap
suds, and the flowers will bloom as fresh
as when first gathered. The soap-suds
need 10 be changed every third day. BY
observing this rule a bouquet can be kept
bright and beautiful for at least one month,
and will last still longer in "a very passable
state; but the attention to the fair but irai
creatures, as directed above, must be strict
ly observed, or the last rose of summer
will not be Jeff blooming alone but will
speedily perish"

yea, foremost on the list of those to whom
the nation would look after the pending
election, for Presidential candidate. We
may say even more, we may say, and it is
believed, with truth, that at this very mo-
ment Mr. Wright held in his own hands the
means to become the candidate of the par
ty in place Of Mr.. Polk, and that it was his
chivalrous devotion to Mr.. VanBuren, that
staid their exercise.
But why lengthen out this humble tri-
butte to the excellence of a good man ?
Why offer it at all Alas, personal ambi-
tion is the bane of American Statesmen.
1t has already shed rivers of blood and di-
vided a people, one in origin, in language,
and law, bound to each other by the men,
ories of common dangers, sacrifices and
successes,--no hostile and belligerent.
May those who are yet to stand in our Leg
islative halls, and whose voice will from
thence go out through our land as conserv-
ators of our interests, and guardians of our
liberties, remember him whose example is
SO feebly portrayed in the foregoing sketch,

WALKING-LEAvEs OF AUsTRALIA-Almost
everybody has heard Of the wonderful walk
ing leaves of Australia. For long time
after the discovery of that great island,
many people really believed that the leaves
of a certain tree which tiourishes there,
could walk about the ground. The story
arose in this way: Some English sailors
landed upon the coast one day. After
roaming about un.il they were tired, they
sat down under a tree to rest themselves
A puff of wind came along, and blew off
shower of leaves, after turning over and
over in the air, as leaves generally do finally
rested upon the ground. is it was mid
summer and everything quite green, the
circumstance puzzled the sailors considera-
bly,
But their surprise was much greater, as
you may well suppose, when after short
time, they saw the leaves crawling along
on the ground toward the trunk of the tree
They ran at once for their vessels, without
stopping to examine into the matter at all,
and set sail away from the land where
everything seemed to be bewitched. One
of the men said that he expected every
moment to see the trees set to dance jig"
Subsequent explorations n Australia
have taught us that these walking leaves
are insects They live upon trees. Their
bodies are very thin and fiat, their wings
I forming large leaflike oranges. When
they are disturbed their legs are folded
away under their bodies, leaving the shape
exactly like a leaf with its stem all COM
plete. They are of bright green color in
the summer, but they gradually change in
the fall, with the leaves, to the brown of
frost-bitten vegetation. When shaken from
the tree, they lie for few moments upon
the ground as though they were dead, but
presently they begin to crawl along towards
the tree, which they ascend again, They
rarely use their wings, although they were
pretty we'll supplied in this respect

tiles. Living on a farm, eating of the grain
he worked night and day to raise, spending
in stocks the grain he sold, walking through
his swamp, muddy, tired, hungry, he is not

All things seem different now. He is rich
though walking through mire and over
crags, he walks on velvet though living

HUMAN NATURE-Some wise man sagely
remarked, there is a good deal of human
nature in man." 1t crops out occasionlly
in boys. One of the urchins in the School
Ship Massachusetts, who was quite sick,
was visited by kind lady. The little tel
low was suffering acutely, and his visitor
asked him if she could do anything for him.
"Yes," replied the patient, read to me."-
"Will you have a story" asked the lady.
"No," answered the boy "read frem the
Bible read about Lazarus :" and the lady
complied The next day the visit was re-
peated, and again the boy asked the lady
to read. Shall read from the Bible?" she
inquired "Oh no." was the reply, "I'm
better to-day read me love story"

THE PRESENT.

Do not crouch to-day, and worship
The old Past, whose life is fed
Hush your voice to tender reverence
Crown'd he lies, but cold and dead;
For the Present reigns our Monarch,
With an added weight Of hours,
Honor her, for she is mighty!
Honor her for she is ours
See the shadows of his heroes
Girt around her cloudy throne
And each day the ranks are strengthened
BY great hearts to him unknown
Noble things the great Past promised.
Holy dreams, both STANCE and new;
But the Present shall fulfil them,
What he promised, she shall do.
She inherits all his treasures,
She is heir to all his fame,
And the light that lightens round her
Is the lustre of his name;
She is wise with all his wisdom,
Living on his grave she stands,
On her brow she bears his laurels,
And his harvests in her hands.
Coward, can she reign and conquer
If we thus her glory dim?
Let us fight for her as nobly
AS our fathers fought for him.
God, who crowns the dying ages,
Bids her rule and us obey
Bids us cast our lives before her,
With our loving hearts to-day!

THE DIsCovERER OF AMERICA.-Not long
since, writes correspondent, Mr.. A. the
master of one of the public schools in East
Boston, willie making call in the room of
his assistant, Miss B., requested the boys
who could tell him who discovered America
to hold up their hands. A large number at
once complied, but, to assist the rest, he
said
Don't you remember that adventurous
navigator who had so much trouble with
his crew, who wanted to throw him over
board 2"
Here small boy held his hand up very
high, and made every effort to attract the
masters eye.
''There," said Mr.. A, 'that boy knows
who discovered America. See his eyes
snap. Now, for the instruction of the boys
who don't know, you may tell who it was"
"Jonahp screamed the little fellow, at the
top of his voice.
Mr.. A. has not probably examined that
class in history since.

THE SKY AN INDICATION OF THE WEATHER
The color of the sky, at particular times,
affords wonderful good guidance. Not
only does a rosy sunset presage good
weather. and ruddy sunrise bad weather,
but there are other tints which speak with
equal clearness and accuracy. 4 bright
yellow sky in the evening indicates wind
a pale yellow, wet ; neutral grey color
constitutes favorable sign in the evening,
and an unfavorable one in the morning
The clouds are again full of meaning in
themselves. If their forms are soft, unde-
fned and full feathery, the weather will be
fine if their edges are hard, sharp and de-
finite, it will be foul. Generally speaking,
and deep unusual hues betoken wind or
rain while the more quiet and delicate
tints bespeak fair weather. These are
simple maxims and yet not so simple
but what the British Board of Trade has
thought fit to publish them for the use of
seafaring -Seieatifc American
