Budding Roses.

The Villa Gardener, London,
England, gives the following rules
for budding roses;
But two things are necessary
to bud roses successfully. The
stocks must be in the right state,
and so must the bed. Unless the
bark of tie rose viii separate free.
ly from its woody foundation, bud.
ding can not be successfully pers
formed. The answer then, to the
question is, in general terms, al
any time when the bark of the
stock and OF the cion or bud will
rise that is, separate freely from
their respective wood. For 1t is
essential that the bark of the stem
should open freely to receive the
bud, and that the bud, with its &C.
conipanying bark, should be deposi.
ted in its new home with the least
possible bruise or injury. Some
may take exception to this general
principle, as far as the bud is con-
cerned. AS long as the stock is
right in regard to the free circula-
tion of its bark from its wood, 10
is in condition for budding.
Ifthe bud and its bark will not
leave the wood freely, some simply
cut it off with a thin slice Of wood,
and insert it without the cOndi.
tons recommended. Now there 10
no doubt that such buds will often
grow, but the plan is not to be re-
commended, especially as the bud
and bark budding is so much moro
simple, expeditions and successful.
Again, the question when to bud
may be answered pretty correctly
by specifying the time from the
middle of June to the middle Of
August, inclusive, as the best bud
ding season, though the operation
may be performed at any time when
stocks and buds are already in the
state described.

LINES TO A SKELETON.


Behold this ruinl Twas skull,
Once OF ethereal spirit full;
This narrow cell was life's retreat,
This space was thoughts mysterious seat
What beauteous visions filled this spot!
What dreams of pleasure long forgot!
Nor hope, nor joy, nor love, nor fear,
Have left one trace Of record here.
| Beneath this mouldering canopy
Once shone the bright and busy eye;
But start not at the dismal void,
II social love that eye employed;
If with no lawless fire it CLEANED,
But through the dew Of kindness beamed
That eye shall be forever bright
When stars and sun ore sunk in night.
Within this hollow cavern hung
The ready, swift and tuneful tongue,
If falsehood's honey it disdained,
And where it could not praise was chained:
If bold in virtues cause it spoke,
Yet gentle concord never broke,
This silent tongue shall plead for thee,
When time unveils eternity.
Say, did these fingers delve the miner
Or with its envied rubies shinei
To hew the rock or wear the gem,
Can little now avail to them.
But if the page of truth they sought.
Or comfort to mournet brought,
The hands a richer need shall claim,
Than all that wait on wealth and fame.
Avails it whether bear or shod
These feet the paths of duty trod2
If from the halls of ease they fled,
To seek the affiicted's humble bed;
guilty bribe they sprrned,
And home to virtues cot returned;
These feet with angels wings shall vie,
And trod the palace of the sky.

WEDDING ExTRAVAGANCE,

At ancient Babylonian weddings
the guests threw pennies at thu
bridegroom, coated with glue, SC
as to adhere to his person. The
modern Egyl tians tie the hands o.
the bride and cover them with paste
and as she moves about the rooms
the guests stick coins to them, aDd
after obtaining good supply, she
unloads and renews the operation
Immediately after an Abyssinian
couple are married, a lock of hail
is cut from the head of each and
fastened to the other. In Dalma-
tia, during the last century, all the
friends Of the bride, male and fe-
male, rode to the church decked in
enormous peacock feathers, Some
tribes of Jews, in Europe, make it
a rule to smash every piece of glass
ware at a wedding, sparing not so
much as a goblet. In Bernares,
the marriage ceremony consists in
leading a couple into stream OF
water, walking them twice round a
COW and then tying their clothes
together. These customs appear
very absurd to US, but they are
scarcely less nonsensical and ridic
ulous then many Of our own. The
young people-and indeed parents
often hetray more interest in
making display at the wedding,
than in the wedding ceremony it.
self. To create a sensation, is the
primary object with them; and the
instances are not rare where rews.
paper reporters are invited to be
present, in order to spread the af-
fair before the public. 1t is very
customary in New York for parents
to spend q thosand dollars or more
on a daughters marriage, Ere
qdently five times that amount is
thrown away upon bridal occa'
sions, when royal banquets add to
the other expenses.
In the matter of parents, this
tendency to extravaganza particu
larly manifest itself. Things have
come to such a pass that one is al
most expected now, to make a gift
of some description to every gen
tleman orlady friend entering wed
lock. A young man recently OBJ
served in our hearing, that he was
going to marry, it for no other
reason, to get back some of the
many presents he had bestowed
during the past ten years. Brides
are anxious lest they will not have
a good display of gifts. Gentle
hints are thrown out to relatives
and friends. Bridegrooms are Of

as good a showing as the other side

TIE RAIR

The closing days Of the Fair,
were marked by large attendance
and the enthusiasts interest dis
played in every feature or the ex-
hibition. The ladies were out IN
large numbers and the sterner sex
following their example, as they
generally do, throngcd the grounds
and promenades, aud filed up the
major part of the availrble space
in Floral Hall. The exhibition Of
thoroughbred horses on the third
day was unusually fine The
kingly "Sfuggins,' and the gallant
"Rosscau" entered the ring and at
traete general admiration. Both
horses were in fine condition and
their royal bearing seemed TO indi-
eatee that they were conscious of
those gallant achievements and
that unsullied blood and ancestry
which made them the exposure of
all eyes. A fine collection Of Rou-
seau's and Muggins colts were ex-
hibited OH the same day. Floral
Hall of course attracted universal
admiration. New contributions
had rendered its interior even
more interesting and beautiful
than on the first two days. Among
its almost endless array Of ladies
contributions, and specimens Of
domestic skill and manufacture we
noticed an elegant satin quilt, ex-
quisitely embroidered by Mrs.
Blackmore of Sumner county; q
handsome Counterpart from Mrs
Belle Grove made from cotton
grown spun and knit at homo, and
a counterpane made in 1893 (Which
has been in constant use since that
timc) contributed by Mrs r y
Grove. Some beautiful frosted
nov CA5 GnGlOSCu III EldoS CSASG

were greatly admired. Irvine &
Lindsay's beautiful show case filed
with laces, jewelry, ladies and chill
drens shoes, ribbons and toilet ar
ticles, all arranged with exquisite
taste by our young friend TheO
Richardson, attracted much atten-
tion and praise. Mrs A L Grove
contributed a handsome saddle rug
made Of scraps, which had already
taken the premium at the Maury
County Fair, Miss Helen Buford
and Mesdames Rogers and Sump-
ter displayed some beautiful flow
ers for ornamentin the fountain
and itands. 1t would be impossi-
bic to enumerate the almost endless
display of jellies, sweetmeats, con
diments and the dainties of the
eoasins contributions by Giles
County matrons and riisses. Our
space forbids US particularizing.
