GROWING POND LILIES.

On seeing my dish Of pOnd-lilies and ad-
miring their beauty and fragrance, L asked,
Why is The pond-lily 50 little cultivated?
flower 50 much admired and so easily
grown. vet in many places so rare. The
answer was: Il is not universally known
tina. il can be grown so easily. Many ask
the question, Where did you get those pond
lilies We tell them we raise them.
..What, raise pOnd-lilies?" We reply, Yes
raise them rs easily as corn or potatoes.
AuI as many seem interested about them,
I Thought | would tell the lovers of flowers
loy We raise ours. A few years ago, my
hus raui, seeing some growing in a distant
pond So nicely and spontaneously, thought
he would try themin his-a small pond of a
few rods extent at one end Of his field. He
brou In home a root and set it n. This was
done bv wadlng in barefoot, and taking it
between the toes and pressing down in the
nut IL soon made its appearance above
the water, and now the pond is pretty well
covered with leaves and lilies, and it does
not have that sickening appearance that
Standing water usually has, but is made the
home Of one ufthe most beautiful kinds of
flower instead. We know uf no insect
tba. troubles then: neither 'lrst urT WiuG
affects them: nothing mol .s:S D en- hut mis-
chi.yons bo-s, VIM love The flowers, but
will take uC pains 20 raise them themselves.
No.y / woUl5 advise all who love this sweet
ly 30 get got and set it in some pond
th.,f they caG have access to, and they viii
sool reap a rich reward for little trouble.

SCIENTIFIC PURSUITS.
DIR. GreeIey's Advice to a Sci entific
COIOred Gentleman.

From the Washington Capital.
We were sitting with Horace one after
noon in-that little disreputabe sanctum of
his adjoining the counting room Of the Tri-
Jnne. The old gentleman was in one Of
his chronic conditions Of grumble and dis
content. He had that mealy appearance so
common to him, that made him resemble
q blonde miller fresh from the dust Of his
flour mill, and was expressing lis private
opiliol in public and somewhat profane
way, when a colored gentleman was annou-
need. Let him come in" roared the phil
losopher, and an aged darkey, clad in broad
cloth, goldrimmed spec.acles, and cane
hea led with the same precious metal,
sa'keG in.
"NGs'er Greeley, believer" lie inquired
eyes, I'm Mister Greeley; what do you
WANT" was the gruff response.
..WeN. sal, " said old Ebony Specs, seat
ing himself as he deposited his hat and
ca G on the floor, "Well, sab, I've been
thu kin that our race don't pay enuf at
ten ion, 20 scientific pursuits sah."
We saw the cloud gather on the intel
lec.ual cuuntenance of the great journals
tic Bohemian. 1t broke in thunder at that
poi t. In voice wherein were blended
the 5hrir tones Of a hysterical woman and
the -rowl Of tiger, he exclaimed:
scientific pursuits. you id old fool
YOU want hoe handle and patch of New
Jerso}; that's tie scientific pursuit you
want. Get out"

THE OLD CEDAR TREE.

The beautiful snow came dancing down
With ieathsry pl1mes strewing the ground,
II nestled in flowers and in the green leaves,
TIL they bowel their heads like autumn sheaves,
And ths leaves were tinted bright, purple and red,
The winds sighed requiem for the days that fed,
A little bird sang in merry, merry glee
From the hanging boughs Of the old cedar tree.
little cared he for the frost and the blight,
As his soft bosom rose and heaved with delight,
The sun peeped out-the winds ceased to blow,
And vanished was al the beautiful snow,
But spangled with dew drops Of pure diamond
sheen,
The oil cedar tree, so bright and so green,
And the little bird sang in merry, merry glee,
From the hanging bOughs Of the old cedar tree.
] unused sad and silently listening long
10 the happy glee Of the sweet birds song,
OF tel me, sweet bird, SO happy and free,
Hast thou no message to-day for me.
Do the angels of light come down as of yore,
Guarding the lentils Of many door,
And the little bird sang in merriest glee,
From the hanging boughs Of the old cedar tree.
o, 1 pray you, sweet bird, cease thy lay,
U, tell me OF loved ones now far away,
The little bird, ''clOse TO the window nestd last
night,
saw a Young mother so beauteous bright,
With trosscs unbound and dark Egyptian eyes,
That shone like the star in in the eastern skies,
Her beautiful baby boy sleeping at rest,
Aud iyadly press'd TO his mothers breast
L
I knew that angels were watching there,
Three little ones given with their fathers love,
For tho mothers singing with angels above;
After was lisp'dS Our Father in Heaven,
The gopG-night kiss to each was given.'"
And the little bird sang low and sweetly to me,
From the hanging bOughs Of the old cedar tree.
81 pccp'd in the parlOr, it hardly was fair,
For | saw a fair maiden kneeling in prayer,
Golden curls Cucircled her brow, ewes of blue
Upturncd, lighted with love tender and true,
She seemed bright angel from Heaven just
flown,
As lowly she whispered Father, thy will be
dOne.'"
And the little bird sang so merry to me
From the hanging bOughs Of the old cedar tree.
81 trilled low note and a soft, sweet lay,
The widow touched with the rose vines spray,
The maiden looked up with eager delight,
''FOr me, o bird, take message tonight,
A kiss to my mother, far over the water,
Warm from the lips Of an absent daughter"
Tis this I've been singing so merry 70 thee,
From the hanging bOughs of the Old cedar tree.

SCOT As AmANVRE.

One of the fertilizers going constantly to
waste, is SCOT. 1t is as valuable as guanO,
and should be carefully saved at least twice
a year. You will find SCOT contains a large
amount Of ammonia, and on this account,
is very beneficial to nearly all kinds Of
plant. Apply it to the soil about the roots,
and not to the leaves or stems; or, twelve
quarts of SCOT dissolved in a hegshead of
water makes an excellent liquid manure.
