Vines Oyer q Cottage.

One of the greatest improvements to
small cottage is the prevalence of vines
clambering over it so as to almost entirely
conceal its outline. For this purpose
nothing can be better than the American
Ivy (AnlpeLopsiS) and Golden-vined Hon
eysuckle (LonicerG aureG Teticutdtd, J
closely intertwined, so that during the
Autumn months the effect of the golden
and crimson foliage is beautiful beyond
description. Over the front of the house,
especially if there should be porch, the
effect will be heightened by rampant
growing Clematis, either @. Vitntb0, the
European Travellers Joy, or G. Virginia,
our native Virgins Bower. The abundance
of pure, white, fragrant bloom on each of
these, aided by dense mass of foliage, is
productive of good results.
The Prairie Roses, owing to their entire
hardness and free-flOWering habits, are
also worthy of due consideration as cottage
runners but there is an airOf stiffness and
primness about them which never har-
monies so well with their surroundings
as do the vines before mentioned. When
the cOttagerS of America are willing to 1e-
ceive lesson in Horticulture from the Pals
ley weavers of England, we may then date
an era of progression which is sadly need
ed throughout our land to-day. The few
hours spent during the evening, or early
in the morning on a bed of choice flowers
will return compound interest in pleasure
on a capital invested in labor and my re-
putation for veracity will never be ques-
toned when | state that, when men are
once induced to feel an interest i'll plants,
it increases with their years so that rarely
is it ever fOasaken.

Most of the newspapers throughout the
country speak favorably of the suggestion
that our ladies should not offer theirguests
wine OH New Years Day. Several things
are indisputable. The custom of giving
wine, spirits and punch to callers does,
every yeur, result in a great deal of inc
briefly, especially among youngm There
is little restraint or none at all, and the day
degenerates too often into drunken sat
urnalia, for which, we are panied to say,
women are mainly responsible. The whole
moral law of the matter is suspended, and
nobody seems to deem it at all discreditable
to be tipsy on the first of January. If our
matrons and maidens will but think Sc
riously of the dangers to which young
men are thus exposed, they will surely con-
suit their own happiness and social we'll

wishes are quite consistent with a respec-

"DOn't Plant Large Trees i'm Small Yards"

One of the greatest of all errors, and one
that is INDUCED in by so many of our
planters in their horticultural infancy is
that of setting out first class tree in a
second class yard, Scarcely a town lot or
cemetery Enclosure is laid out but this
mistake is made, although ignorance in
every instance is the excuse, and justly so,
too. Taking, for instance, the labOrer's
cottage, with its few square feet of grass in
front-and, by the way, what is more at
tractive than we'll kept sOd?-in the
place of Norway Spruce or Austrian
Pine, would suggest what is termed Il
dwarf evergreen-one of the smaller forms
of Arbor Vita, now becoming so popular,
or Juniper, with its variety of outline,
or perhaps form of the newer genus Re-
tinispora. II the front should have a
northern aspect, the best plant for this
purpose is either some handsome variegat-
ed variety of Aucuba or EuOnymus Japoni-
ca. The newer introductiOns of these are
exceedingly attractive, and group COM
posed of distinct kinds forms an agreeable
feature-WOOre'S Rural Net0 Yorker.

TILL STfTUE.

Cesar, upon the Lupercal, thrice declined n
kingly crown-sO it is written. Mark Antony
urged that ornamental head-dress upon him
perseyeringly, and Rome bowled to some ex-
tent; first in appreciation of the offer, and next
in admiration of the virtue which declined it..
We have now the cOrollary of that memorable
historic incident. Mr.. Tweed declines statue.
His friends would like to erect the thing, and
they have subscribed considerable sums of
money for that purpose; but the great man
whose proportions and whose pose they desire
thus fundamentally to perpetuate, modestly
deprecates his claim to such brazen apOtheO-
sis, and says, in short, that he wont have it.
This authoritative declension probably settles
the matter for the present We shall have
to wait till Mr.. Tweed is gathered to his
fathers before his imposing proportions, in
mute stateliness of bronze OF cold majesty of
alabaster, are permitted to decorate our public
spaces, and shadow forth to the public gaze the
port and presence of the man whom these gen.
erations have delighted to honor and enrich.
II limits our municipal resources of ornament
somewhat this modest unwillingness of Mr..
Tweed to be sculptured and stuck up some
where. There are not many citizens who
unite all the conditions necessary to enhtle
them to stand forever ut gaze in the great
urban squares and crescents; mark to alarm
inexperienced horses and elicit the howls OF
irreverent and casual dogs. One must
be eminent to begin with, and then
he ought to have past experience
Of such majesty as to protect his efligy from
the gibes and the derision of posterity. A pot
bellied parsonage, however eminent, would
not altogether grace conspicuous pedestal.
When the memory of his achievements had
faded, and a new generation, which " knew
mot Joseph" had supervened, there would
remain only the Dubious and protuberant
image, sign of scon shadowing the market
place, and vaguely roasted upon by sparrows.
On the other hand. mere stateliness of proper
tions, without corresponding grace of character
or loftiness of achievement, does not entitle the
citizen to monumental perpetuation, because
the contrast between his handsome figure and
his empty deeds would make his commemOra-
ton n cruelty instead of an honor. One must
be great as well as handsome TO cast well for
public exhibition "a an out-of-doOr bowlder or
ingOt. Mr.. Tweed is both eminent and hand
some, and, if he had accepted the "testimO-
NAL through which il was designed to
honor him, his efligy would have stood for
ever the image of the ideal Alderman, tho
being without greed or guile, who wears the
biggest of diamonds on the gentlest and purest

PARDON md PROTECTION At The SOUTH
We believe it better that Dsfranchisement
should he altogether abandoned as unneces-
sary and exasperating the DislOyal to hatred
of the Loyal. We shall continue to think so,
no matter how frequently Congress refuses, rs
the House did yesterday, to entertain the prop
ositon. But all are agreed that it is
absolutely necessary to the peace OF
the South, perhaps the safety of the country,
that there shall be adopted at once some
measure of protection for loyal citizens of all
colors. and that that law be ineXOraby and
vigorously enforced by all the power of the ma
ton. Whether Mr.. Buffers or Mr.. Shelabargers
bill, or some other Of the half-dozen bills which
have been talked of in caucus and committee,
but are yet unconsidered in House or Senate,
is the best adapted for the purpose, cannot be
said. Mono of them are so perfect, perhaps,
that they will not be found faulty when put
in practice; but it is prompt decisive action on
some measure which is wanted almost as much
as the measure itself. Display but the deter
mination to protect loyal citizens, and conf
dencc will be largely restored in the South;
develop a purpose and plan to punish the
guilty creatures who have been cmboldened
by past Indifference of tho Government, and
they will quickly skulk to their secret lodges
The Republican caucus has resolved to adopt
Mr.. Buffers bill, in form somewhat modified,
and it Is to be submitted in the House to-day.
1t gives the President authority to call out the
army to suppress disorders, and directs United
States Judges and Marshais to exclude disoyM
Jurors from the courts These features are OBJ
iectonable, certainly, in time of profound peace,
but it must be remembered that the South is prac-
tically in a state of war, and under any other
government in the world would have long
since been declared in state of siege and
occupied by an army. Milder measures than
those proposed by this bill might posi-
bly, be found effective, but the belligerent
attitude of the late Rebels and the utterly
helpless condition of the loyal people of the
South would Justify the adoption of far
more extreme measure than any yet sug-
gested. Mr.. Butlers bill will be fought by
the Democrats with all their vigor and per-
sistency for they justly look upon any bill
directed against the Ku-Klux as levied against
their party in the North; but we do not be-
lieve that il can be defeated.

Hadley as President of that body, whereupoh
Gov. Clayton again becomes candidate
for seat in the United States Senate, Whicn
he had recently declined, and is elected
1t is well known that he declined the
seat heretofore because he believed his ac-

in the Executive chair, would put the state
Administration into the hands of the Democrats.
Now. by provision of law, Mr.. Hadley, sound
Repnblican, becomes Governor of the State
for the remainder of Gov. ClaytOns term.

think, have made boast of that kind. Moreover,

There used to be an epitaph in the almanacs On
a Baby" which was " What was l begun for, To be so
soon done for i"-and of this are reminded by the
statement that three couples of Woodstock, Conn,
were divorced four month since, and that last
week all three were reunited-a most charming and
edifying pieco Of reconstruction. Having tried
single bessedness, they wee grieyed TO find it in
convenience and haIpine not az all equal to double

pecially in New-England, Il at tic nuptia relation
is one whichmay be lightly abandoned, Il an which
more penicious notion could hardly lie. When mar
riages are contracted there il AMY always an

they are only TO be sundr by { G Celth of one of

judicial sanction or by leg satve authority, couples

more trouble than is required to recover twenty
dollar debt before country justice. We cannot. OF
course, condemn all divorces. There are cases in
which they are abs lutey necessary and just, but
divorces for descrton must always be regarded with
some suspicion.
