What looks better than pretty hanging
yet how seldom are they to be met with.
Baskets of living plants may easily be had
in perfection If such kinds are selected as
will stand in rooms. As regards the bas-
kets themselves, like to see the wire work
painted green. Some paint it with bright
colors but this quite spoils the effect OF
the flowers, which should be gay enough
as regards colors, without any addition in
the way Of paint. Inside the wire work
put thick layer of green moss, so as to
prevent the soil from dropping through
over this put some broken crooks, and then
fill up with such compost as is best suited
to the requirements of the plants with
which the basket is to be filled. For Sum-
mer decoration there are numberless plants
that can be grown in baskets; but for Win
ter blooming nothing is bettor or looks
moro SNOWY than Rollisson's unique gera-
mum, or scarlet Trop@olum, both of which
will continue in flower all through the
Winter, and droop down gracefully all
around the basket. A basket, indeed, new
er looks well unless 1t is furnished with
some dropping plant round the edge, as, for
instance, with the varlegated ivy-leayed
pelargonium, called LElegdnte, while in
the center should be a nicely grown plant
of fuchsia Mrs. Marshall. Pretty baskets
may also be made OF silver varlegated ge-
ranium Lady Plymouth, and bright blue
lobelia, or of blue convolvulus, with Chris
tine geranium in the center, In fact, any
flower that suits, and is put in with good
taste, will look well. For large baskets,
suited for lobbies, mixed foliage plants,
such as yariegated sedums, echeverias, ire
sines, aud centaureas, have an effective ap-
pearance. A window box made of wood
and lined with zine, suspended by four
cords or wires, up which creepers can be
trained, also makes pretty room orna-
ment. The great point as regards creeping
plants In baskets or boxes, fresh and in
good health, is to give plenty Of water dur
ing the growing season, but more sparlng-
ly in Winter, and TO keep the leaves clean
If baskets are hung high there should be
some means Of lowering them, as il troub'
lesome getting up TO them every morning
with steps. II the baskets are small the

Dieting for DNapensIa.

Not wishing to cast any reflections, but
merely to show the folly, indiscretion and
unreasonableness of dyspeptics in regard
to diet, when afflicted with this plural
malady, of which men scarce ever die,
will relate an anecdote at the expense of
Governor Dinsmoor, deceased, former
resident of Keene, n. II. At the time 10
which 1 refer, Mr.. Dinsmoor held the Gov
ernorship of New Hampshire. He was
suffering from an attack of dyspepsia, aud
had been visited by DIR. Twitchell the
elder and advised as TO the proper dietary
course 10 be pursued for his recovery.
About this time he invited a number of
his political friends TO dine with him, and
his wife, being well aware of his condition,
asked what she should order for his dinner
that he would relish best. After hesitating
a moment he said, "If you will have some
small apple dumplings made, 1 will try
and come to the table to dine with the
guests" Whereupon the dumplings were Q
ordered, and when the party arrived dinner
was served, with = plate of twenty medium
sized dumplings for the Governors relish.
The guests partook freely Of the rich dain-
ties that had been especially provided for
them, while the Governor, being much
exhilarAted by the sociability and good
humor Of his company, apparently forgot
about his feeble power OF digestion, and in
a short time had made way with eighteen
of the apple dumplings. Just at this time
his younger son, then quite small lad,
and not allowed to sit at the table on such
occasions, doubtless fearing the dumplings
would soon all be annihilated if he did mt
interfere, crept round behind his father,

Among the many questions that present
themselves 10 the public at the present time,
is, whether the society known as The Pat
rons Of Husbandry, is a benefit TO the peo-
pie. Having from childhood been cultl-
Vator Of the soil, we know by experience
what great discouragemens the producers
Of food for the people have 10 contend with,
and how often the consumer has to pay
nearly double the worth OF an article, yet,
on consideration we think our free country.
our free people, ought not to be governed
or Influenced by any secret society. 1t
does not seom rational to have all lawyers
and merchants classed as enemies of our
country.
If portion Of them defraud the people
1t does not follow that all ought 10 be de-
spised. 1t is essential 10 our nations well
fare, as well as to individuals, TO have men
who understand law in all its branches and
lis superstructures. And in regard to
tradesmeD, we make the assertion that a
great portion Of them are a benefit TO a
community, and often assist the supply to
meet the demand without loss TO either
party. When the producer chooses to cell
at wholesale, is 1t not just as we'll to deposit
his goods at I" middle mans" warehouse

better advantage than others, besides the
purchasers can select at leisure what they
choose. 1t is the abuse not the use of the
retail trade that has made such an agitation
among the masses. II has been said that
this Granger movement is the real cause of
the price Of flour receding again; but trans
portation is very low at present, while only
a very few years since it was nearly treble
the amount necessary 10 prosecute the busi-
| ness with fair profit. Competitor by two
railroad companies caused low tariff to
be substituted for an exhorbltant one which
has had an excellent effect upon the people,
except to canal boat owners who are losing
their freight badly.
We think the business Of this country
ought to be transacted Except in very few
cases) through channels that can have its
movements published to every person, rich
or poor, great or small, of this land of free.

Equality should be the basis of all our
dealings with our fellow men, Secret
