BEAUTIFUL EXPERIMENTS. Fill a
WideNmothsd jar with water and cover it
over with piece Of foundation (the
ladies will understand thie,) cover that
with layer Of peas, pressing it down SO
that the peas will lay in the water. They
will then swell and sprout, the roots
growing down in the water, their fibres
presenting .szbeauhfnl appearance. Set
this in a window aud vino0 will srow up
which can be conducted to the sill. The
whole is very handsome. t-
If an acorn be suspended BY a piece
Of thread to within half an inch Of some
water contained in hyacinth glass, and
so permitted to remain without being dis
turbed, it will in few months burst and
throw root down into the water, aud
shoot upward its taperiug stem, with
beautiful little green leaves. A young
oak tree, growing this way, on a mantle
shelf of room, is very interesting OBJ

WHAT SHALL WE DO TO BE Loyal
We shall be obliged to any Republican

"Loyal." To be true to the Constitua

THE AbOiitionists who have led their
party into the war, and tolled them along
FROM one excess into another in the des.
tructiOD Of property, and to the rum Of
all moral and social ties, are beginning to
be alarmed at the signs Of the times
and are now pickering among themselves
about what is to be done to save their
party. They are united in their cruelty
to the Southern whites; and in their
loyalty to negros; but they have no
leader among them capable Of mastering
the financial situation.

DESTROY THE CATERpILLARs. AT

caterpilIar-which may be found encirs
cling the ends Of the small twigs Of the

pletely destroyed than they can at any
other time Of tho year. They can be
readily seen, and by choosing Warm
day for the operation, with light ladder
upon which to ascend the tree, and
small basket in which 10 put the twigs
containing the nets--the work can be
performed most satisfactorily. Besides,
burning the nests is much better than
crushing or sudsing the full grown in

In the early history Of this country
the British idea that "a national debt
was national blessing" was secuted aud
repudiated. Now, however, the idea
seems to prevail that debt is a blessing.
Our national debt is even the basis Of
our banking sys'em-the more the debt
the greater the blessing. The friends Of
this British tory doctrine have united the
Government and the moneyed capitalists.

WORDS OF THE WISE.

PHHsIc, for the most part, is nothing but
the substitute for exSrercise and temperance
LAY your designs with wisdom, carry them
out with resolution, and whatever may be
the result you will have discharged your
duty.
BIZ doing good with his money, man as
it were stamps the image of God upon it, and
it passes current as the merchandise OF
heaven.
ADVICE, like snow, the softer it falls, the
longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it
sinks into the mud.
Do not wait for change Of outward cir
cumstances but take your circumstances as
they are and make the best Of them.
PLEASURE is rose, near which there ever
grows thorn of evil. It is wisdom's work
so carefully to pluck the rose as to avoid the
thorn, and let its rich perfumes exhale to
heaven in gratitude and alteration of Him
who gave the rose to blow.
CoNrENTMENr is the great swoetener Of
life in every state.
EVERY spark of good thought should be
blown into fame, and produce o suitable
practice iu our lives and conversation.

A LOVE When Marshal Bat
zine left the city Of Mexico with the
French army, his nephew, Lieutenant
Bazaine, was about to be married to
beautiful Mexican signorita. In the
hurry of their departure, however, it was
not found conyenient to celebrate the
nuptials. 1t wOs. therefore, arranged
that the young lady should follow her
lover to Orizaba, and that tie wedding
should take place there. Meanwhile the
Liberals closed in upon the retiring
French troops and occupied the whole
oOuntyy, stopping the mails and travel.
This was q sad state Of things, but moth
ing is impossible to true lover. Armed
with passport, which stated the object
of his retrograde journey, the young
Lieutenant started out alone for the City
of Mexico, passed Through the Liberal
army and numerous bands of banditti,
which chivalrOusly opened right and left
to let him pass, and bore off his bride
safely to France.
