GENERAL BUTLER AT HOME.

An exchange says In domestic life no man
could be more charitable, gentle, and pleasing
than General Butler. He reads everything, he
remembers everything, he knows everything BY
tho charm Of perfect courtesy, and the brIlliancy
of his conversation, he grows almost handsome.
His wife Is woman Of intelligence and cultiva-
tion, with the manners Of an empress. They live
quietly, extending delightful hospitality to .
few favored friends, who say that the remem
brance Of that pleasant home before the beautiful
daughter left IL, was one Of the most charming
pictures In the world.

To BE perfectly healthy and happy. one must
have friends. They need not be in large num-
bers, but one, two or three kindred spirits with
whom one can commune, share Joys and sorrows
thoughts and feelings. In choosing friends great
care Is necessary. There must be some common
bond of sympathy. It may be moral, intellectual
or social, but even these bonds are not sufficient.
A weakly person, an invalid, needs healthy
friends; timid one, brave friends. Those who
are blessed with good friends are healthier and
happier than those who have none,

AMERICAN TUBERosEs.

The tuberose, with its pure white flowers
and delicious perfume, Is favorite all over the
world. Its native country Is unknown. It was
cultivated by the sncients, and it's botanical
name, Polianthes (not Polyanthus, which is a
primrose) is 90 chosen because 1t is compounded
of two Greek words which mean ''city flower !"
1t has no wild home, or any country cousins,
but is, so far as known, fashionable city
child.
The English are particularly partial to the
tuberose, and millions are annually sold there.
They have not hot enough suns to mature the
bulbs. After towering, they threw the whole
thing away and buy more. Italy has hitherto
been the great tuberose bank on which the
English have drawn, but America has put In
her claims, and now American tubroses hold
the most distinguished places in English gar
dens. The leading florists of New Jersey,
Maryland, and the District of Columbia do
brisk trade in them. At present Italian tube
roses are quoted at three shfllings (seventy-
five cents) per dozen in England, while Ameri-
can bring Just double the price. b..

STURDY OLD MEN.


There are some pretty old men in the world
who remain full Of works and ambition. Lord
John Russell, for instance, who looks upon
Dtsraeli, who is sixty mine years of age, as q
sort of hoy, is eighty-two years old, and yet
seeks to rule England. The Emperor William,
man Of seventy-seven, and the Duke, still
older, are having lively contest. Guizot,
aged eighty-seyen, Is working away at his lit
erary labors in France, while Theirs, but little
his Junior, is ready to assume the reins of the
government whenever he is wanted. Comirg
over to America, we find men of seventy and
over working away like men of forty. There
are Commodore Vanderbilt, Daniel Drew, A..
T. Stewart, J. Edgar Thompson and W. B.
Astor, still skilltully handling their millions,
and yearly adding TO them. There is William
G. Bryant producing in his eighth decade
comprehensive history of the United States.
There Is Thurlow Weed, still dropping on Us
from time to time words of wisdom and old
political "reminiscences. The catalogue might
be continued much longer, but this Is long
enough to show that men frequently need not
outliVe their usefulness.
