be walled up in place surrounded by four
walls, with anguish Of heart, and abund-
ance of tears, you shall bewail your sins
and offenses." The four walls were built
up around him, leaving sufficient space to
kneel down. A small opening was left at
the top, for food to be dropped in, and in
this place the prisoner was to be kept to

Soil for Flowers.

The best soil for most flowers, and espe-
cially for young plants and for seed-beds,
is a mellow loan, containing so much SAND
that it will not "bake" after hard showers.
If we have not such a soil, we must, OF
course, use the best we have. A stiff clay
soil can be much improved by a little sand
or ashes and manure, and by pretty con-
slant working. 1t must not, however, De
handled when too wet. Always drain the
flower. garden so that no water Will be on
or near the surface. Don't try to grow
good flowers in poor soil Always have
little pile of manure in some outer corner
1t is as convenient as money IL the purse,
Those who keep COW or horse WILL OF
course, have manure enough; but those
who have no snch portuuity can get
load OF sods from some meadow or the
sides of the road lay them in a pile to rot
and give them a soaking with soapsuds Oh
washing days When the leaves fall, ge'
all you can handily and throw them upon
the pile, aud no one will be able to boast
OF better flower food in fact, this Is the
very poetry Of manure.
