GOOD NIGHT.

Goodnight, dear friend say goodnight to thee
Across the moonbeams, tremulous and white,
Bridging all space between us, Il may be .
Lean low, sweet fTiendl 1t is the last good
night;
For lying mute upon my couch and still, a..
The fever-hUsh eyanished from my face,
heard them whisper softly, " lis His will:
Angels win give her happier resting placed"
And so. from sight of tears that fan like rain,
And sound Of sobbing smothered close aud low,
turned my white face to the windov-psne,
To say Goodnight to thee before go.
Goodnight, goodnight do not fear the end,
The conflict with the pillows dark and high;
And yet, if could touch toy hand, my friend
think 1t would be easier to die:
If could feel, through all the quiet waves
Of my deep hair, thy tender breath athril,
I could go downward to the place Of graves
With eyes ast1ine ard pale lips smiling still;
Or it may be that if, through al the strife
And pain Of parting, should hear thy call,
would come singing back to sweet, sweet life,
And know no mystery of death at all
1t may not be. Goodnight, dear friend, good,
night
And when you see the violets again,
And hear, through bOughs with swollen buds
awhile,
The gentle falling OF the April rain,
Remember her whose young life held thy name,
With all things holy, in its outward flight,
And turn sometimes from busy haunts Of men
To hear again her low Goodnight, goodnight

Barton, Dec. l."
These queries are so vague that it is diff
cult to give satisfactory reply We can
only point out some of the more common
causes of failure in such cases. In the first
place, vebenas are unsuitable for house
plants, and very rarely do well, except in the
most skillful hands. Fuschias seldom bios
som in winter, with the exception of two or
three varieties, called winter blooming. Ge-
raniums and roses that have bloomed during
the fall, will not generally bloom again until
spring. But healthy young plants of either
