The German ivy is of the easiest
culture, if watered daily, for it loves
water, and must have it freely to
thrive we'll. The soil should not be
too rich. English ivy and Poets
ivy are both easy of culture. Mon
eywort is obtainable by all;it grows
in moist gardens like weed, and
no one would refuse a root of it to
the asker. 1t requires sandy soil
and frequent waterings, then its
leaves are small and closely set and
the effect is lovely. Trandescantia,
both yariegated and green, grows
most readily-a little cutting be-
comes, before many weeks, a trail
ing vine of great beauty. The Tom
Thumb Torpoedum, though rather a
large plant for hanging-baskcts, will
in a very poor soil, grow well and
blossom freely. First, put little
bits Of charcoal at the bottom of the
basket, then, in the middlc,a small,
coarse sponge; this holds the moist
ure, and the roots drink it up as
they require it; the charcoal acts
as purifier, and keeps the earth
sweet. Fill up your basket with
little rich earth, with. at least, two
parts Of sand mixed.

How to Mount "a Map.

success Moisten the map by
rolling it up together with wet
cloth, and let it remain until it be-
comes evenly moistened, so that it
will not swell much more when
placed upon the wet paste this

Then stretch the canvas or muslin
intended for the back of the map on
a frame or table, by lacking it firm
ly ; then take common paste made
quite thick and smooth, and put it
on the clCth or canvas with a brush
and not on the map, being sure not
to leave any place dry. Then take
the map from the vet cloth and roll
it upon a round stick, or roller, and
place it on one edge of the frame or
pasted cloth, and roll off the map
gradually upon the canvas, smooth
ing it with tho hand to keep free
from wrinkles. When dry put on a
coat of sizing, made quite thin, of
white glue or gun-arabic, let dry
again, and then varnish with white
mastic varnish.

should weigh upon the mind of eve
ry mother, and render her deeply
circumspect and prayerful and faith
full, in her solemn work of training
up her children for Heaven and i'm
mortality.
The minds of children are very
susceptible and easily impressed
A word, a look, a frown, may en-
grave an impression on the mind of
o child which no lapse Of time can
enacc or wash out. You walk along
the sca-shorc when the tide is out,
and you form characters, or write
words. or names. in the white smooth
sand, which is SO spread out so clear
and beautiful at your feet, according
as your fancy may dictate; but the
returning tide shall, in few hours,
wash out and efface all you have
written.
Not so the lines and characters of
truth and error which your conduct
imprints on the mind of your child.
there you write impressions, the
everlasting good or i'll Of your child,
which neither fioo|s nor the storms
Of earth can wash out, nor death S
cold fingers erase, nor the slow-mov-
ing ages of eternity obliteratc.-
How careful then, should each
mother be in the treatment Of her
child . How prayerful, and how So
rious and how earnest, to write the
eternal truths of God on his mind
those truths which shall be his guide
and teacher when her voice shall be
silent in death.

The Cloak of RaligfOEs.

It is doubtful if the religious world
was ever more generally infested
with counterfeit Christians than it
is in this church building and church
going era. In one sense this is a
good sign. for it proves that plety
is popular. If it were not SO many
arrant scoundrels would not turn
their attention to it. The conven-
ticlc is good place for the pecula-
tors and swindlers to hail from
Their appearance regularly at "stat :

with genuine worshippers, and the
fURoRE for converting and proselyt-
ing which at present possesses so
many ofour religious societies af-

on the livery of Heaven to do the
devil service. There is such ire
menduous competition for converts
going on among the varions seats
they are so anxious to outcount
each other at these exhibitions of
"brands snatched frcm the burning"
that any humbug who can pull a
long face and make an unctuous
prayer is pretty sure of passing mus
tor as a babe of grace. We do not
say this with view Of disparaging
or discouraging the earnest souls
who are laboring in all faith and
sincerity to save their fellow men,
but in the hope Of inducing them to
exercise more discretion in the selec-
tion of recruits. Too many of them
are the dupes of a blind zeal, and
often do unintentional injury to
their cause and to the community,
by endorsing as saints the most con.
summate hypocrites. t

in numbers as now, but there never
was time when congregations Sc

THINNING PLANrs.-The thinning
of seeding crops is very necessary
thing to be done in time before the
young plants have drawn up so
much as to become weak. All
plants grow stronger and ripcn bet.
ter when the air circulates freely
around them, and the sun is not pre-
vented from an immediate influence.
In thinning close crops, as onions,
carrots, turnips, &c., be sure they
are not left too. near, for instead of
reaping greater produce it would
assuredly be less, when they stand
too close, they will make large tops
but smaller roots.

Spirits VS.. Water

The "oldest inhab;tant" has been
reading a series of articles on the
adulteration of liquors, and has ar
rived at somewhat singular con-
clusion. The analysis Of these liq-
uors allowed an average Of about
sixty five parts of water to thirty
five of spirits. "They don't give
the spirits a fair chance, said the
aged bacchanal; they'll keep on
fooling with water until it depopu-
lates the earth again"
