ers without the consent OF the Senate.
Soon after the commencement of the last
session of Congress reported bill from
a committee of the House of Representa-
tives, which contained provisions prohib-
ting removals without the consent Of the
Senate. 1t passed the House and was
sent to the Senate. The Senate struck II
ont and returned it TO the House, who
refused to concur 10 the amendment The
result was o committee Of conference,
where an animated contest ensued.
There were several other questions in
controversy between the houses, which
the House offered to yield if this would be
granted. The Senate perseyeringly re-
fused, declaring that they would sooner
lose the bill. As that would Illustrate all
our legislation, it could not be allowed.
The House yielded with a warning Of the
evil il would ip6ict upon the country.

True BenevOlence.

The man oftrue benevolence shows
his disposition in the least and OBJ
scurcst actions. In his soul he
knows not, and thinks not for him
self, but with every opportunity
seeks to shower down blessings upon
others. Yet, is he himself ever
blessed with the richest gifts; if not
in the worlds goods, still with far
more precious gift Of . heart full Of
love and peace. Tho God of Truth
never suffers tho humbly honest to
60 unblessed, but richly rewards the
heart with q peace of mind which
passeth comprehension. But the
benevolence Of selfshness surrounds
itself SO closely with the drapery Of
ITS own good actions, that the rays
Of the sun Of peace
and happiness, though falling upon,
cannot penetrate and prcvade the
heart. True, unselfsh beneyolencc
is of that character that God be.
slows upon the world; and the rain
that falls alike upon the just and
unjust, is the gift Of Him who holds
unbounded stores ct his command,
whose treasury is never exhausted.
and whose chief delight is to make
his creatures happy. Man is truly
benevolent when his heart feels an
sther'a woes. and from its ewn in

Care Of HOuse Plants.

Do not remove shsA splants to the
house until there is danger Of frost;
and then give them abundance of
Dir and light. And here we will say
that some Of the finest plants we
cverrsaw We kept ina south cham.
Der in which there Vas no fire, but
adjoining q room which was warmed
by a stove. There is generally
more danger from too much heat
than too little. For such plants as
gsianiums. petuGas. fucksias. roses,
olcanders, etc., q temperature from
forty five to sixty-6ve degrees is
abundantly warm.
Perhaps the greatest obstacle to
window gardening lies in the dry
ness of the air. - When houses are
warmed in the old fashioned way, by
fire place or wood stoves, with album
dance of cracks at the windows and
doors to let in fresh air, plants grow
very we'll. And now, when few
plants are kept in kitchen window
where the air is charged with vapor
from the boiling water, they .often
thrive with old fashioned luxuriance.
How, then, can we modify the parch-
cd air Of our parlors and sitting
rooms? One way is to keep pan Of
water evaporating on our stoves and
in the air chamber of our furnaces.
In addition to this, provide table
for the plants as wide as the win
dow and just the height of the win
dow-sill. Fasten rim around the
border Of the table two inches high,
and line the whole with zinc. Fill
the space with sand and cover it
with moss. Set the pots on this
sand, aud keep it always moist. If
you arc willing to take the trouble,
set each pot in another ene-half an
inch larger, filling the space be-
tween with moss, which is to be
kept moist. BY these means, the
air around the plants will be kept
somewhat humid.
As to watering and ventilating,
discrimination should be used. As
a general rnle, water should be given
copiously enough to wet the entire
ball Of soil; wetting simply is not
enough. A daily sprihkling or syr-
inging of the leaves is always q good
thing. In ventilating, it is seldom
safe, in cold weather, to open the
windows directly in front of the
plant stand. A better way is to
let in air from a window on the op-
posite side of the room; it then be-
comes tempered little before reach
ing TIC plants.
Stir tho soil often with stick
when it is dry. If incects appear,
pick them Of. or kill them by fumi-
eating.

Is there = heart in all the world
30 base as not to reverence the
mother that watched over us in our
infantilo weakness, that guided and
supported our first tottering foot
steps, that hung in specchless agony
over Us when sickness had laid its
wasting hand upon us, and watched
by US night and day-administering
to our wants rs none but q mother
can forgetful ofself?
Who Of us have not seen, the
mother in her anxiety for her dar-
ling child, forget even to take, her
accustomed meal? and for sleep, that
was out Of the question, till her
cherished one was free from danger.
Stand with me by the side of the
bereaycd mother, when she is fully
aware that her darling child has
ceased to breathe, and is no more
an inhabitant of earth. Does it not
seem as though her heart must break?
Witness the bowed form, the heay-
ing chest, the swollen eye, as she
bends over that little coffin for the
last time; and when the tiny form is
gently lowered into its last resting
place, and the gravel falling sends
back its reverberating and mufficd
sound, does it not CRATE harshly up
on that agonized mothers ears?
Who-oh !! who can estimate a
mothers love /? How little is she
appreciated while living! Not till
she has passed away from cur sight,
do we know how to prize the gem
which VIC once possessed. When
the worlds chilling breath passes
over US, and withers tho flowers in
oureyouthful heaats-when we seek
for sympathy, and find it not-then
do we yearn for her kind, sympa-
thising heart, and weep when we
think that her gentle voice can
never more fill our hearts with its
sweet music.

AN able London correspondent of the New
York Times regards the Liberal victory in the
late English election as much more important
in its consequences than has been hitherto sup
posed. He says that the majority of over one
hundred members that have been elected to
the House OF Commons as supporters of Mr..
Gladstone's views in regard to the disestablish-
ment of the Irish Church are prepared to go
further and would vote in body for the dis
establishment Of the English Church and the
separation of church and state. The cores
pondent adds:
The ain has been-an aim suggested by Mr.
Gladstone-to strike fatal blow at Church
Establishments. If these elections fairly indi-
cate the relative strength OF parties 10 the diff
ferent constItuencies-that is, if the coercion
and intimidation 18th ere has been plenty of it)
has been equal on both sides, and If the Con-
sentative organization in boroughs is good as
that of the Liberals-then PROFESSIONALLY the
English Church could have been disendowed
in these very elections. Whether that would
be q subject for congratulatiou Or, regret,
whether we should not do better without our
Church Establishment thau with it, is ques.
ton which it is unnecessary just now to dis
cuss. 1t must, however, come to the front
pretty soon, and II would be as well f r think

WE were shown the first arrival for the
trade of the coming year Of Croasdaie's Sup.
Phosphate. 1t comes this year in bags, con-
tanning 200 pounds each. The bags are of the
frstquality, costing the manufacturers forty
cents each. Each bag is clean and whole,
none being allowed to leave the storehouse ex-
cept in that condition. The article itself is of
higher standard than last year, and farmers
may expect to see even more marked results
than last year. From all sections we have but
one report of-this fertilizer and that of the
highest satisfaction, 1t was awarded the first
premium at some fifteen State, county and
town fairs during the fall. ..fl -...
We learn from Mr.. Robbins, the agent, that
he has already on his books orders for near
1000 tons, and that from this State; and that
the supply will not likely be equal to the de-
mand, as the manufacturers inform him there
are large quantities already being ordered from
the home trade.
Mr.. Robbins is publishing $4,000 copies OF
the illustrated Almanac for 1869, contain ming
certificates from all parts of New England
from the best farmers who used it last year
The Almanac is now in press in this city, and
will soon be ready for gratuitous distribution.
We would advise those who design using OF
selling this valuable fertilizer, to order for ftl-
ture delivery at once if they would secure a
supply. notwithstanding the advance in
price of some of the most expensive ingredi-
ents. there viii be for the present. at least nc
advance in the price of the Sup. Phosphate.
