Hints for March.

Hot beds should be made and
cropped this month. 4 foot Mick Of
manure only Ia not a hot bed. The beds
should be sunk two feet In the ground
and boxed or walled from the bottom
TO two feet above the surface. Then
manure thirty inches thick above ii,
and In three days afterwards SOW all
the seeds. Care should he taken that
there Is no violent heat In the beds TO
scald the seeds; If so, raise the sashes
TO let the heat and steam escape. The
sashes must be tilted or lowered down,
to admit fresh air.
Everything heretofore neglected
must now be put in good order; tools
put In good working repair; pea stakes
and bean poles procured; all the seeds
needed for the year purchased, except
those needed for fall sowing-such as
turnips, fall radishes, pricIly spinach,
etc.
There is II sharp emulation among
our seedsmen, nurserymen and florists,
to have the best of everything, and TO
discard everything of less value. AS
this has been in progress for years, all
respectable firms will furnish the very
best of all kinds of seeds.
All the fruiting-trees, bushes and
creepers, that may be needed, should
at once be ordered from the nurseries,
to be delivered when the proper season
arrives to plant them, and so should all
the ornamental trees and shrubs, herb
aceous flowers, etc, be ordered. Fam
lilies should determine what they want
and then dispel all waverings, or they
may find themselves tossed about like
the waves; all will thus be satisfied.
There are various kinds of hedge plants;
but the evergreen hedges should be
made in ornamental gardening. AS
paragus, rhubarb, horse radish, roots,
ETC., when needed, should be ordered.
All puning should be performed,
and manures applied where needed,
and when the soil gets in fit state to
work 1t should be titled, and such crops
put in as will succeed in early sowing,
such as, early peas, heets radishes,
pepper cress, carrots, round seeded spi-
mach etc,

AnecdOte Of Madame de Stael.

There is story told by Madame Neck
er Saussure in her introduction to the
collected works of Madame de Stael.
which, as illustrating her filial love and
certain glorious vain traits of character,
is worth repeating. On the occasion of a
certain visit which the narrator paid to
the Neckers of Coppet, the carriage that
had been sent to convey her from Geneva
was overturned. Upon hearing of the
accident, Madame de Stael was agitated
by the widest terror--n0t, as it may be
imagined, on account of her guests mar
row escape from injury, but from posi-
BILE contingency which the accident sug-
gested to her mind. "Ah, heavens" she
exclaimed, cit might have been my faith
er!" She ran to the bell, rang it furious
ly, and, in voice trembling with agita-
ton, ordered that the coachman should
be instantly sent for. In few minutes
the offender stood before her. "Have
you heard that l am woman of genius?"
were the first words she spoke to him.
Her question was so odd and her manner
50 excited that he could not find reply.
Have you heard that am woman of
genius?" she repeated, yet more loudly
and angrily. The servant, more confused
than ever, was still silent. "Well, then
| am woman of genius" she said, holly
-"of great genius, of prodigious genius.
And l tell you that all the genius pos
,ess shall be exerted to secure your rot
ing all your days in dungeon, if ever
you overturn my father" When her ag-
tation was over, her friend rallied her
ipon this curious speech, but she failed |
% see the absurd side of IL. "What had |
to threaten him with except my poor
,enius?" she answered, naively.

Rising I'm the World.

1t was toward the middle of the last
century that a little ragged boy, named
Saunders, made his appearance at the door
of an attorneys Office in Clements Inn
London. He was cast upon the world in
absolute want; he knew nothing of pa.
rents; he had not friend; and he knew
of no roof beneath which he had right
to lay his head or obtain a crust to eat
and cover in return.
The attorney found him very bright
and prompt, and employed him. The
boy proved faithful and earnest in the
discharge of such business as was given
him to do. By-and-by the boy, when he
had been admitted to sleep in the office,
expressed desire to learn to write. The
attorney rugged him low desk in a far
corner, and set him copies, also assisted
him at times by personal instruction.
The boy developed bold, clear and
beautiful hand; and by the time he was fif.
teen he had become a correct and rapid
writer.
He was now transferred to the inner
office, and set at the work of writing i'm
portant legal papers. This gave him an
insight into, and taste for legal lore.
lie studied--studied so hard, to such good
purpose, that in time he came to afford
his employer sound and valuable counsel
in important matters. His diligence was
untiring, and his faithfulness answering,
and his ambition unchecked. He worked
his way up to the bar, and became one of
the most eminent and effective practition-
ers of his time.
The man, whose entrance into the strug-
gle of life had been from so low and un-
promising station, by the proper use of
the fortunate qualities inherited, became,
upon the death of Pemberton, Lord Chief
Justice of England.

Another of Them.

France is the latest contributor to the
Enoch Arden class of stories, and the
case, which has just turned up in the
,Saone-et- Loire, is vouched for in every
particular:
A young man named Mariner, who
had been married only few months when
the war broke out, joined the Mobiles of
the VOsges, and was taken prisoner. On
arriving in Prussia he was sentenced to
several years imprisonment for striking
his guard. During his captivity he wrote
often to his wife, but receiving no reply,
concluded that his letters were not for
warded or that his wife wasdead. When
he was taken prisoner he threw away his
knapsack, which was picked up and worn
by comrade, who managed to escape,
but who was subsequently killed in an
other engagement. The knapsack con-
tanned the papers of Mariner, which was
forwarded to his wife as the last remains
of her husband. The young widow, after
a few months of grief, took second hus-
band. Since then, Mariner having OBJ
tanned pardon, was allowed to return to
France, and on reaching his native cottage
found it occupied by another, and child
of which he was not the father. Here
the drama ends for the present.

A Dublin Park.

A writer says: "The Phoenix Park in
Dublin is one of the largest in all Europe.
1t contains 1852 acres, and at some points
It is two miles and quarter across. 1t
lies little way out of the City of Dub
lin, where the land is very much broken,
and affords a number of charming views
Of the Irish landscape. The climate of
Great Britain is very moist, and adapted
to the construction and preservation of
fine pleasure grounds. Constant vapors
come in from the sea, there is great deal
of rain, and the abundant moisture pro-
duces luxuriance of vegetation, and
particularly thickness, a smoothness of
turf such as we never see in this country.
Many trees in the park are of great size
and very old, and form one of its chief
attractions. There are entire tracks cov-
cred with thick underground and bushes,
where the deer retreat in great numbers,
and visitors do not go. There are valleys
and hills, and broad drives, and fine zoo
logical gardens"

How He Caught II.

A resident of New Haven Ct, has
lately given up steamboat travel, and
now, when he wishes to go to New York,
he provides tickets by the railway. His
preference for the latter method OF
locomotion came about in this wise:
Not long ago he had occasion to 90 to
the metropolis of the Empire State, and
accordingly he started for the steamers
landing, with a carpet-sack in one hand
and cane in the other, in what he sup
posed to be ample time. But when he
came in sight of the wharf he observed
the boat apparently swinging away from
hermoorings,and amid the shouts and ieers
OF the bystanders, he broke into a frantic
run for the landing.
The boat was eight or ten feet from
the wharf, when he reached the place
where he had hoped to find gang-plank,
but nothing daunted, and trusting TO the
momentum acquired during the run. he
leaped into the air and gained tho
vessels deck. WV
Not without accident, however. The
carpet-bag struck one passenger 40
violently in the stomach that he doubled
up like a jack-knife, and absorbed n
whole flask of brandy in getting straight
ened out, while the cane struck another
man in the face with sufficient force "a
to induce him to get down on his knees
to look after his hat. When he had re-
covered it, the man who had occasioned
all this connection said to him, in a tone
Of mingled apology and well-gratulation.
"Well, I made itp'
Eyes you did," said the sore-headed
but, you burned old fool,

Poor Giles In a Ouandary,

A fish-hawker in Arobath, who travelled
about with little donkey and cart, hap
pened one day to leave the animal stand
ing in the street opposite close while he
made his way to the nearest public-house.
There happened to be blacksmith shop
up the close, and the workmen, seeing the
hawker's conveyance standing ownerless,
thought they would play trick on the
man. They embarrassed the animal, took
the wheels off the cart, and carried all up
the close, which near the foot was con-
siderably narrower than the breadth of
the cart. In the wide part they again
fixed up the cart, and left the animal
quietly Eliminating between the shafts,
with its head turned to the street, as if it
had backed up. Back came the hawker
and great was his surprise and wonder to
observe the inexplicable fix into which
his donkey had got The thought of his
cart having been taken to pieces never
once entered his brain. He took the poor
animal by the head and pulled and
dragged at it numerically. "Gee hup,
We dour brute!" he roared. aye ken best
hoo we got intae sic pickle, sac We maun
jist get DOT the best way We can" When
the joke had gone far enough, and the ass
seemed in danger of severe chastise-
ment, the smith assisted the hawker to
remove his conveyance. He didn't leave
it unmatched opposite that close any

A Cat Yarn.

The following has touch of Mark
Twainism: can anaconda which was on
exhibition at San Francisco was fed on
rabbits daily. When the snake was taken
to Sacramento for exhibition it was UNI
certain how long the show would stay,
but the patronage of the Sacramentans
was generous and the agent at once tele-
graphed for his show posters to bill the
town. The dispatch read: Send two
hundred cuts Immediately but when
received it read: Send two hundred cats
immediately 1t was little bit of sur
prise to the agent at San Francisco when
he read the message, but he reasoned that
rabbits were scarce in Sacramento, and it
was necessary to substitute cats for the
regular provender, so he started out an
army of boys to catch all the stray cats.
BY the afternoon train he sent crate of
seventy-fve cats, with letter saying:
Il send seventy-five cats by this train
and will forward balance tomorrow; but
am afraid that number of cats will eat
the snake, If they get loose, instead of
being eaten by him."
