Shelfer far Gardena.

The real value of shelter can scarcely be TOO
highly estimate in many OF the delicate ope-
rations of modern gardening, and the idea OF II
when associated with warmth Is no less
pleasing to the mind in winter. On ooE
forming new gardens or plantations ia strongly
advocated; they are in valuable for the shelter
they afford, and the idea of warmth which they
convey. But garden or pleasure ground,
planted wholly with evergreens, few would be
bold en ough to advocate; such would be heavy
in summon, and monotonous IN winter. Ever
green's may abound, but they must not super
abound. To abound even, they require to be
juGiciously varied. The free and spreading
forms should be mingled with the formal; the
large leaved and smail-leaved kinds must be
properly arranged and adjusted; the light
green. the dark green, the glauoous and the
variegated, must be represented in varying
proportions to suit the character of the mansion
and the surrounding scenery.-GGrdenerS

THE OIL FEVER SUBsIDING.-The fever has
ragged so fearfully that the initiated plunged
headlong into the excitement with all the
money they could command, without wisdom,
without investigation, without any thought
but that of millions of wealth without laboring
for 1t. All this of course assisted legitimate
operations, and oil wells not wecth q thousand
dollars have been sold for a million. But the
final result will be a public gain. A general
sitting of operations will take place. The COM
panies composed OF deluded, ignerant, incau-
nous, sanguine adventures, who have i'm
agined that anything favored with oil would
prove, an Ophir, will sink TO the bottom, while
those which are honestly and fairly organized
TO de velope this great and bountiful resource OF
nature will float prosperously o. the top,
The organizations which were formed to
take advanta ge of this excitement for the pur-
pose OF speculation only, are now trembling on
the quIcksands upon which they are founded,
and hundreds OF men who have been drawn
into their nests to the amount of thousands
will find themselves socompIetely f1oored that
they will never recover from the shock. Fabu-
lous prices have been paid even for interests
In the best of wells and oil lands-prices beyond
ali reason and possibility of rem uneration, yet
IN the division and subdivision of the interests
the Individual losses will not be heavy But
IN cases where extravagant investments have
been made in companies which have never
had bottom, and in many instances are with
out an existence other than imaginary, the loss
