toes under glass, although when but few
are wanted 1t is often convenient to use
part of q hot bed for the purpose. Flor
lists sometimes turn the unoccupied benches
of their greenhouses to good account in
raising sweet potato plants. In the Gulf
States it is not necessary to use any heat
ing material at all. Beds shout four
feet wide are made in sheltered, sunny
place; they are well enriched, and made TO
slope little toward the sun. The pota-
toes ale laid upon the beds, an inch or two
apart, and covered to the depth of three
or four inches with rich, light soil. Ten
bushels of potatoes are allowed for each
acre TO be planted. Farther north, heat
ing material is required, and rude hot
bed is made by excavating pit three or
four feet deep, which is to be nearly filled
with coarse fermenting horse manure. Six
inches of sandy soil, is put upon the ma
nure, and the potatoes are placed upon
this, and covered as above stated. The
bed is covered with planks at night and
during chilly days. Water is given as
NEEDED; this should not be cold, as il
would check the growth of the plants.
Add hot water to bring it to the tempera-
ture of the bed and If the bed becomes
too hot, it is cooled by making holes down
through the manure by means of a stick

Terrible Dea,h.

A few weeks ago a girl frteen years
of age came to her death in a most
singular and painful manner, at Can
adice, New York. She was i'll about
six weeks before her decease. At first
she complained Of pains in the chest
and stomach, and hard Jumps began
to show themselves from the inside,
feeling very much like p%rOtruding
bones. She became weaker day by
day, suffering great agony, and for
some days previous to her final DISCO
luton she could rest in no other pos
ture than by placing herself upon her
hands and knees upon the floor. A
post norton examination disclosed a
frightful state of affairs, for there were
several large tumOrs taken from her,
some of them weighing over a pound
a piece, and her liver was enlarged so
as TO weigh four and a half pounds.
The physicians are completely puzzled
over the affair, as they had never be-
fore witnessed or heard of such a state
Of disease, and cannot account for
their presence in one so youRg. The
tumor5 have been sent to Bellevue
Hospital, New York, for examina-
ton.

Death Of PhOebs Cary.


The death of this gifted woman has
already been announced by telegraph.
The sad event took place at Newport,
II. l., on Monday, July 3lst, after a
distressing illness Of ten weeks. The
New York Tribune, in a length obitu-
airy, gives the following touching the
life and writings of Miss Cary, who
was so inseparably blended with that
of her sister Alice, that their biogra-
ply would seem almost identical:
"She was born five years later than
her sister, but they began to write for
the press at about the same time, and
during the twenty-five years that
their names were before the public as
authors, they were so closely assOci-
ated that few ever thought of one
without also thinking of the other.
And yet, in spite of the mutual SYM
pathy that bound them to each other,
they were very unlike, not only in
person, but in mental constitution.
Such was the difference in their style
that no poem of the one was ever at
tributed even in a moment of forget
fitness, 10 the other. Born in
1928. eight miles north of Gin
einnati, she first became known to
the public as a contributor to the peri
OdicaIs of the Universalist denOmina-
ton, and aiterward more widely IS a
writer in the National Era at Wash
ingtOn. She has written far less copi-
Ously than her sister, and almost moth
ing in prose. OF the "Poems of Alice
and Phoebe Cary" published IN Phil
adelphia in 1850, only about one
third were written by the last named.
Her next venture was in "POems and
ParOdies," a volume all her own, pub
lished by Ticknor & Fields, in 1854;
but her latest and best work was
"Poems of Faith, Hope and Love-"
published by Hurd and Houghton in
1868. We have said her latest, and
vet we must not forget the important
aid she rendered DR.. Deems in the
compilation of "Hymns for all Chris
tians," published by Hurd d Hough-
ton in 1859. Her poems are marked
by a buoyant faith, a sunny philoso-
ply, and a hearty independence of
manner, which no one ever succeeded
in affecting, and nc n who possesses
them could afford to barter for wealth
fame. Phoebe came to New York
with Alice in 1852 or 1853, and here
they lived together until they were so
separated by death. Few
homes are more attractive than theirs
was for many years to those who were
80 fortunate as to share its gracious

Lorna aud Louise.

English letters say that the mar.
rage Of the Princess Louise with the
Marquis Of L0rne was NOT, according
to late English gossip, by any means
the love match it has besn popularity
supposed to be, and the welded pair
are now far from happy together.
RumOr has it that the Princess inner
its her mothers quick temper, and the
two women had such frequent quar-
rels that the peace Of the royal do
nestle circle was quite destroyed. The
marriage Of the Princess and her resi-
dence elsWhere being the only resource
IN the emergency, a certain number OF
Young nOblemen were selected and in
vited to Windsor Castle, and the
Princess required to choose a husband
from among them. She obeyed, and
her choice fell on the young Marquis,
but there was no more love between
them than usually attends such busi-
ness-Iike arrangements. The result
has been. that the Princess temper
Is as bad as ever, only it IS exercised
on q new object. The exclusion Of the
Marquis from the royal circle, and the
consequent separation of him from
his vile on state occasions, IS said to
be owing TO these eonjugal difference
and not to any law Of etiquette. Ills

Work nuFipu Slesp

Those cases in which the brain is
hard at work during sleep, instead OF
being totally ObliviOus Of everything,
may be called dreaming or sOmnam-
bulism, according to the mode in
which the activity displays itself.
Many of them are full of interest.
Some men have done really hard
mental work while at sleep. Condor
set finished a train of calculations in
his sleep which had much puzzled him
during the day. In 1856 a eOllegian
noticed the peculiaritie5 of a fellow
student, who was rather stupid during
his waking hours, but who got through
some excellent work in geometry and
algebra during sleep. COndillac and
Franklin both worked correctly
during some of their sleeping hours.
The work done paItakes, in many
cases, more of the nature Of imagina-
tive composition than Of scientific
calculations. Thus a stanZa of excel
lent verse is in print, which Sir John
Herschel is said to have composed
while asleep, and to have recOllected
when he aWOke. Goethe often set
down ON paper during the day
thoughts and ideas which had pre-
sented themselves to him during sleep
on the preceding night. A gem
tleman one night dreamed that
he was playing an entirely new
game of cards with three friends;
when he awoke the structure and
rules of the new game, as created in
the dream, came one by one into his
memory, and he found them so in
gehiOus that he afterWaTd frequently
played the game. Coleridge is said TO
have composed his fragment of
"Kubla Khan during sleep. He
had one evening been reading Pur-
chas' Pilgrim; some of the romantic
incidents struck his fancy; he went to
sleep. and his busy brain composed
"Kubla Khan. When he awOke in
the morning he wrote out what his
mind had invented in sleep, until
interrupted by a 7isitOr with whom
he conversed for ar hour on business
matters; but, alasl he could never
again recall the thread of the story,
and thus "Kubla Khan" remains a
fragment. DIR. Good mentions the
case of a gentleman who in his sleep
composed an ode in stanzas and et It
to music. Tsrtini, the celebrated
italian violinist, one night dreamed
that the devil appeared to him, ehal-
lenged him to a trial of skill on the
fiddle, and played a piece wonderful
for its beauty and difficulty; when
Tartini aWOke ne could not remember
the exact notes, but he could produce
the general character Of the music,
which he did in a composition ever
since known as the Devils Sonata
Lord Thurlow, when a youth at
college, found himself one evening
unable to finish q piece Of Latin COM
position which he had undertaken;
be went to bed full Of the subject, fell
asleep, finished his Latin In hissleep,
remembered it next morning, and
was complimented on the felicitous
form which it presented.
