Another very pretty ornament for the
garden is the rockery, made of rough
stones, tastefully laid up. with earth
sufficient for the growth of plants suit
able Tor this work. Low growing plants
with succulent and ornamental foliage
are appropriate to the rockery-portu-
laca is admirable. I would like my
readers who have had no experience in
this kind of garden ornamentation to
try specimen in some retired quarter
OF the garden, so that if it proves a
failure no harm will be done. We give
an illustration of bed of this kind.
Some persons may think from what
we have said in favor of grass in front
the house in preference to beds of
flowers, that we are no friend of these
beautiful treasures - these beautiful
children of the field and garden, who
speak in every fragrant breath, and
lovely tint, and graceful form, of Him
who spake from naught their matchless
beauty. 1 only wish them to be treated
in a proper manner. In the centre of
the lawn, especially if opposite win
dow, 1T is well to make a round or oval
bed, and on the borders or near the
edges of the lawn, beds of various
graceful forms. A few plans for these
are given in the annexed engraving.

Charles Dickens Way of Getting On
in the World,

have been very fortunate in worldly
matters many men have worked much
harder, and not succeeded half as well !;
but L never could have done what I
have done without the habits of pune
tuality, order and diligence without the
determination to concentrate myself on
one object at a time, no matter how
quickly its successor should come upon
its heels, which 1 then formed. NV
meaning simply is, that whatever have
tried to do in life, have tried with all
my heart to do we'll; that whatever I
have devoted myself to, have devoted
myself to completely; that, in great
aims and in small, / have always been
thoroughly in earnest. I have never
believed it possible that any natural or
improved ability can claim immunity
from the companionship of the steady,
plain, Woodworking qualities, and hope
to gam its end. There is no such thing
as such fulfllment on this earth.
Some happy talent, and some fortunate
opportunity, may form the two sides of
the ladder on which some men mount,
but the rounds of that ladder must be
made of stuff to stand wear and tear :
and there is no substitute for thorough
going, ardent, and sincere earnestness
Never to put one hand to anything on
which I could throw my whole self, and
never to affect depreciation of my work,
whatever it was, I find now to have been
my golden rules.-DaUid COpperteId.

Ornamental Climbers.

Spring is the time to set out Orna-
mental climbing plants. They can be
procured from any of the nurserymen :;
and in order that those not familiar with
their character may know how to select,
a list and brief description of some of
the most popular varieties is appended ::

Chinese and Japan honeysuckles
present avery beautiful appearance when
trained upon short posts. They grow
to messy, evergreen, weeping bushes,
with blossoms, and delightful fragrance.
They are also suitable for covering
arbors, verandas, lattice frame work, &c.
The golden-leaved honeysuckle, with
its yellow marbled foliage, is adesirable

The coral, yellow and monthly honey
suckles can also be made deciduous
shrubs, or, if desired, can be trained as
common climbers. They can be kept in
flower for several months by removing
fading blooms, so as to prevent the
maturing of seeds.
The sweet-scented hardy jessamine
can be made a shrub or trained as a
climber. It blooms for two months.
The sweet-scented clematis is of
delightful fragrance, and can be trained
to grow as bush or climber, as desired.

Every curve should be O sensible one;

range you planting SO as 10 make an
apparent necessity for eUery turn. The
idea is shown in the above engraving
where the walks seem to turn to accom-

One great difficulty with American
gardens is that they are too large, and
not sufficiently cared for. If we ex-
pended tho same amount of labor on q
quarter of an acre that we now do on an
acre, the result would be much more
satisfactory. No one should have more
ground in garden than he can keep in
the highest state of cultivation. It is
this kind of excellence that affords
pleasure, while failure or partial sue
cess Is n source of pain. 1t is not only
a fault to cultivate too much ground,
but even too many flowers. Some seem
anxious to obtain and grow everything.
This is not best, especially where there
is not good deal of time and money to
be devoted to the work. A choice Sc
lection is best, and like every cultiva-
tor of flowers to have q pet or hobby.
Take, for instance, the pansy, and make
1t pet. Obtain the choicest seed, and
give the plants the best of care, and
you will see to what wonderful perfec-

you will tire, perhaps, of this. Then
adopt the balsam, or stock, or aster.

improvement of Home Grounds.
Front Yards, Lawns and Flower Reds
Ernn Nicl,a EInraI Guida for 1873.

Front Yards, Lawns and Flower Reds.
From Yick's Floral Guide for 1873.
Man may be refined and happy with
out garden he may even have home
of taste, l suppose, without a tree, or
shrub, or flower; yet when the Creator
wished to prepare a proper home for
man, pure In all His tastes and made in
His own image, He planted a garden
and placed this nOblest specimen of
creative power in it, to dress and keep it.
A few suggestions ON the improving
of grounds and the adornment of rural
homes, l think, will be useful, and pre-
vent a great many inquiries that [ am
unable to answer satisfactorily by letter,
especially in the business season.
In the first place, would remark that
the space in front of the house, and gen.
orally the sides exposed to view from
the street, should be in grass. No ar
rangement of beds or borders will look
so neat and tasteful as a well kept piece
of grass. It can also be kept in better
order at less cost than in any other way.
Get good plat of grass, and good, dry,
neat walks, and all other things will
soon follow with but little trouble.
Make no more roads than are absolute
ly necessary, as many walks divide the
lawn too much, especially when small,
and greatly disfgure it. Of course
there must be bold walk to the front
door, and one passing from this to the
rear of the house, and in general no
more will be necessary. These should
be made in the most convenient places
in the place that one would naturally
walk in going from one point to the
other.
Two great errors are usually made,
both by gardeners and amateurs one
destroying the lawn by cutting it up
with unnecessary walks and flower beds,
the other producing the same result by
almost covering it with trees and shrub
berry. Grass cannot grow we'll among
the roots and under the shade of trees
and shrubs, and no lawn can look well
cut up in sections by numerous roads.
Most of the little lawns we see in the
country are almost destroyed by one or
both of these causes. The main part
of the lawn should be left unbroken by
tree or shrub, as a general rule, and if
any tree is admitted it should be an oc-
casiOnal fine specimen, like a purple
beech, or magnolia, or cut-leaved birch.
A tree or two in certain appropriate
places for shade, is of course, desirable;
but plant for the future, not for the
present, and always have in view the
size, form and habits of the trees when
full grown, and not their present small
size and perhaps delicate form.

Salt and Ashes for Cows.

A wise and experienced stock-raiser
says: Son turning my cows into pas
ture in the spring, 1 provide several
small tubs, and having fixed them firm
ly IN the soil to prevent them being
overturned, put into each tub one quart
of salt and three quarts of sifted wood
ashes, previously well mixed by stirring.

change from dry to green food, and has,
besides, 4 most invigorating effect upon
the general system. Some assert that
salt should be given only as often as
once a week, as its more frequent use
would be injurious. But when supplied
in this way no apprehension need be
entertained

The Writing of History

Within the last score of years, his
torical judgments of notable persons
have been revised, and those who had
stood III darkness for ages have sudden
ly emerged clad in white raiment. Hen
ry VIII. has been reintroduced as an
upright sovereign and pattern of do
mestic virtues the latest portrait of
Mary Queen of Scot represents guile
less woman with martyrs crown even
Judas Iscariot has found an apologist.
Another generation, no doubt, will be
favored with a new view of Benedict
Arnold, in which his patriotic motives
will be clearly shown. These illustra-
tons of general tendency toward OPP
timism in Judging of "the great ones
gone" do not, of course, prove that
mankind is growing more charitable,
though that hypothesis would be pleas
ATTEST but they do prove that the
world is learning to place a higher
value on fair play, by showing that
there may be two honest, yet opposite,
views of the same subject. A century
ago, Mr.. Froude's portrait of Henry
VIII. and Col. Meline's portrait of
Mary, would have been contemptuously
Missed. To-day, they win the respect
cause they bring to light new facts,
which, though they may fail to change
the popular verdict in either case. have
yet value as evidence In the estima-
ton of every honest mind. 1t is this
recognition of the value of facts as
facts, without reference to their bear
ing on certain theories or opinions, that
distinguishes the present age from its
predecessors in the framing of histori-
cal judgments. It is the natural result
of the spread of intelligence, of the
more general exercise of our reasoning
powers, of our measurable emancipa-
ton from the thralldom of opinion in
which our forefathers were held. The
age, however, should not receive more
credit than fairly belongs to it. These
new views. of historical personages are
not exclusively attributable to it's intel
Ggence and fairmindedness. Time has
had hand in the work, softening pre-
JUDGES and illuminating obscure points
that stood in the way of earlier histori-
ans. Contemporary history is notori-
ously Enthusiastically; the writer is more
than mortal if he can avoid the bias of
private interest, or, what is not less po-
tent, the bias of privateTopinion. Sup
pose two students in 1872 read the his

separated by generations from events of

to serve, no personal likes or dislikes to

under his hand with a sincere intention
of making them tell the truth. The
historian who writes in the interest of a
religion cannot, of course, hold this
high ground but the occupation of his
class, if not quite gone, is rapidly 60
ing, and the exception is growing less
and less important. To whatever causes
the change may be due, it is unques-
tionably true that history is becoming
more impersonal and impartial, as the
power of individuals and classes is de-

The bay of Pearl River, which sounds

The bay of Pearl River, which sounds
very much like the title of one of Mrs.
Southworth's romances-is said to be
the name of the harbor in the Sandwich
islands about to be coded to the United
States for naval and coaling station.
1t is situated about ten miles from Hon
olulu. It is regarded as an excellent
harbor, being almost circular in form
and with sufficient depth of water for
the largest vessels. The shores are of
coral and somewhat precipitous, whilst
the only drawback to the bay is coral
reef at the entrance. The reef APP
proaches within from twelve to eighteen
feet of the surface, and is dangerous in
stormy weather. The channel at the
entrance of the bay is about two hun
died and sixty yards wide, of which
over ninety yards are covered by this
reef. A short distance inside is an is
land, after passing which vessels have
ample protection. Naval officers who
have examined the bay express their
opinion that the coral reef Will have to
be removed to make the harbor availa-

rhe Atmosphere OF Spring.

With every change of season we have a change
in the hygenic character of the air In the spring
it is impregnated especially in low lying, wet dis
triets with mephitc vapors, which generate chills
and fever, rheumatism, Indigestion, blliousness
and diseases of the organs of respiration. It is
therefore particularly necessary at this time Of the
year to invigorate and regulate the system to
enable it TO repel the morbid influences TO which it
is more or less subjected. The stomach should be
toned, the bowels freed from distractions, the
blood purified and the nerves braced and strength
ened. This can be easily done. Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bftters are everywhere procurable; and in the
whole range of remedies and preventatives pre-

an eminent degree great efficiency and perfect
