CARE OF FLowERs IN Pors.--It is a
common fault TO put plants KEEP, in
rooms into two large pots. This has
always a Dad effect. II the soil be good,
and not over watered, the plants will
indeed grow rapidly, but it will produce
leaves and branches instead of flowers;
and If the soil be overwatered, the mass
OF soddened soil round the roots has the
same effect upon them as stagnant water
in saucer. The soil should always be
in such a state as to admit air with the
water to the roots; but this it cannot do
when it becomes blackened paste by
being saturated with water. AT the
same time frequent repotting is often
absolutely necessary to keep the plants
In dwarf, compact habit of growth,
and to prevent them from being drawn
up. The way in which practical gar
deners ascertain when re-polting is nec-
essary, is by turning the plant out OF the
pot, with the ball of earth attached, and
If they find the roots look white round
the outside Of the mold, then the plant
should be transferred to larger po. but
only size larger atterward it may be re-
potted again, if necessary, but always to
a pot only a little larger than the one.it
was taken from, BY persevering in this
mode treatment tor some time, and
never advancing more than one size at
each change, plant may be grown to a
llarge size, and made to produce abun-
dance of flowers while by the contrary
treatment, that suffering it to remain
in very small pot, or shifting it sud>
denly into very large one, the stem
will become weakened and elongated,
the flowers will be few and very POOR.

FEKDING Boxes BETTER THAN RACKS
Horses do not naturally gather TODD
from trees, why should they be compell-
ed in winter to take it from rack
overhead? Every mouthful requires the
animal to assume an unnatural position,
which, with young horses particularly,
must interfere with the proper dey elop-
ment OF the muscles Of the neck, and
with the graceful carriage Of the head
May not the awkward manner IN many
horses thrustng their heads forward and
upward, be attributed to the force of
habit acquired in feeding from a rack
Another serious objection to racks is
the danger from the ed, dust, &c e,
falling into the eyes OF the animals:
further, all the efliavia OF the stable, the
yapo's from liquid and solid excrements,
the exhalations from the skin ard lungs
pass upward, and are, to some extent,
absorbed by the hay--an addition nelth-
er sa' ory nor heallhful. The feed box
may be made equally convenient with
the rack, and is open to none of the
above objections, 1t need not be large;
and if the bottom be made of Stats all
rejected fodder can be easily removed

| VULGAR LANGUAGE There is a. much
connection between the words and the
thoughts as there Is between the
thoughts and the actions. The latter
are not only the expressions of the for
mer, but they have power to reach
upon the soul and leave the stain of
their corruption there. A young may
who allows himself tn make use of one
vulgar or profane word has not only
shown that there is foul spot upon bis
mind, but by the utterance of that word
he extends that spot and infames it till,
bv indulgence, it will pollute and ruin
the whole soul. Be careful of your
words, as they show your thoughts. II
you can control the tongue 30 that no
improper words are pronounced by it
you will soon be able to control the
mind. and save that from corruption.
You will extingush the fire by smoth-
ering it, or by preventing bad thoughts
bursting out in language. Never utter
a word anywhere which you would be
ashamed to speak in the presence of the
most refined female or the most religious
man. Try this practice a little while,
and you will soon have command of
yourself,

AN INCIDENT OF FORT FISHER

A person who. was in Fort Fisher

of Fort Fisher were falling in sheayes

ed up, and jamned the turret. Hur-
rah one at last disabled, thought the
poor Confederates. BY Jove see two
sailors quietly walk out, and set them-
selves down, the one holding chlsel,
the other striking with a hammer
They were cutting away the obstruction;
and so secure was the monitor against
any vital injury being inflicted on her,
that. although silenced, she would not
retire from her position. A swarm of
Southern ritlemen were thrown ont 10
