As soon as | heard my companion pro-
nounoe the old man's name. the truth rushed
upon me in an instant; and | was not alone
in the conviction; the quick heart OF the
mother had caught the spark Of hope and
love. Az that moment the FIRE upon the
hearth blazed up, and as the light poured in
to the room, my companions face was fully
revealed. The woman arose and walked
towards him She laid her hand upon his
head aud trembling whispered;
" For the love Of heaven don't deceive me.
But speak TO me, let me call you Nathan

And shall answer, for that is my name,"

CULTURE OF RosEs.-There is no Towering
shrub or plant that requires msnuring so much
as the rose, which produces such large guam
tity of flowers that the soil within reach Of
the roots soon becomes exhausted of those in
gradients which are necessary for sustaining
the health and yigor of the plant. Well-rotted
COW manure ia best for the rose aad as the
plant is gross feeder, liberal supply will be
required. Moderate root pruning has very
good effect in conjunction with manuring.
