about her. The Civil Code denies the
widow all right, even of simple enjoy
ment, in her husbands inheritance.
This wrong is of course, remedied so far
as may be, in practice, but it has been
the potent ally of other influences in de-
grading woman in the family, both in
the relations of wife and mother" And
yet, by n strange contradiction, while
France oppTesses woman, it deifies the
Virgin. A religious paper published at
LouTdes, is full of such phrases as these:
"At last we have entered on q new path.
France seems at last tired of her RevO-
lutiOnary agitatiOns. And what is the
cause of this social renovation? The
apparition of the Holy Virgin in our
grotto cannot be wholly without weight
in the balance of our destinies. 1t was
perhaps the eliminating moment of the
period. Why should the Queen OF
Heaven come down among US if it is not
to revive our hopes, if it is not to make
her subjects happy, as we know that
France is the kingdom of Mary ?''

Just before the election in Ohio a
worthy deacon was called upon to pass
around the hat at large church meet
ing. And the deacon is q devout man,
but unhappily, rs it CHANGED, he wore a
echite hat. Over this he spread a large
handkerchief and proceeded; Inc nrsI
seat was filled with staunch old farmers.
He knew their poeket-books were pleth-
ori: and their hearts full of good, ana ne
fell sure that their contributions would
sink the handkerchief to the bottom Of
the hat. But alas! not a man contrib
mel He drew a sigh and went on from
scat to seat, till arrested by the voice of
the minister calling out, Brother
s."
GsPass the handkerchief alone, Broth
or s., or go with your open hands,
or take another hat, for there is nobody
in this congregation that will drop one
cent into the thing you are carrying
nowp'
The effect can be imagined. Another
hat was substituted, and the congrega-
tiOn 'shelled outn an amount which as
tonished all.

European horticulturists have lately
adopted mode of making rose cuttings
root with more certainty, by bending
the shoot and inserting both ends into
the ground, leaving single bud uncov-
cred at the middle, and on the surface of
ground. The cuttings are about ten
inches long, and are bent over a stick
laid fiat on the ground, holes being cut
on each side Of the stick for the reeep-
tiOn of the ends of the shoot. The roots
form only at the lower end of the shoot,
but the other end being buried prevents
evaporation and drying up. n cores
pondent of the London Garden states
that he has tried this along with the
weaker cuttings: while the latter have
shown symptoms of drying and failure
ali the former have grown vigorously.
