three lots of bullion, aggregating three
thousand dollars, for the first two weeks

Curr1NG FLowERs.-Never cut fow-
ers during intense sunshine. nor keep
them exposed to sun orswind. Do not
collect them in large bundles, or lie
them together. as this hastens their
decay. Do not pull them, but cut
them cleanly off the plant with sharp
knife-not with scissors. When taken
indoors, place them in the shade and
reduce them to the required length Of
stalk with sharp knife. by which the
tubes, through which they draw mp
water, is permitted to ascend :rsely /;
whereas, If the stems are bruised or
lacerated, the pores are closed up. Use
pure water to set them in, or pure
white sand in state Of saturation,
sticking the ends Of the stalks into it,
but not in crowded manner. If in
water alone, it ought to be changed
daily; and a thin slice should be cut
offthe ends of the stalks at every change
Of water.

GOLDEN WoRps FROM THE GRsA1
SHowMAN.-Mr,. P. T. Barnum, the

and delivered a short address. Con-
Guiding, he said:
. 1t is painful to the industrious and
moral portions of our people to see 80
many loungers about the streets. and
such multitude whose highest aspira-
tions seem to be to waste their time in
idleness or at base ball, billiards, &c.
No person needs to be unemployed who
is not over-fastidious about the kind Of
occupation There are too many soft
hands (and heads) waiting for light
work and heavy pay. Better work fer
half a loaf than beg or steal q whole
one. Mother earth is always near by
and ready to respond to reasonable
drafts on her never-failing treasury. A
patch of potatoes raised 'on shares is
preferable to poulticed pate earned 10

Micawbers stand with folded hands
waiting for the panic to pass, as the
foolish man waited for the river TO run
dry and allow him to walk over. The
soil is the foundation of American pros
perity. When multitudes Of our con-
sumers become producers; when fashion
Teaches economy, instead Of expending
for gaudy dress what would comfort
ably clethe the family; when people
learn to walk until they can afford to
ride; when the poor man ceases to ex-
pend more for tobacco than for bread;
when those who complain of panics
learn that we cannot eat our cake and
keep it," that sieve will not hold
water; that we must rely on our own
exertions, and earn before we expend,
then will panics cease and prosperity
return. While we should by no means
unreasonably restrict healthy recreation
we should remember that 'time is mon
ey," that idleness leads to immoral
habits, and that the peace, prosperity
and character of city depends on the
intelligence. integrity. industry and fru-
gality of its inhabitants"

Wherein is our, custom Of costly cof-

scarfs and badges, and costly equipages,
more sensible, or less censurable than
the Africans idea Of responsibility. We
bury all this money, or throw it away
on that which does the dead no good,
and certainly none to the living. 1t
has no element of Christianity in it; for
we know that the body is not the friend
we have lost, and that we are putting
honors on that which is already putting
on corruption. The dust is justly pre-
cious in our eyes, for it has just been
the earthly vase. the shell Of clay in
which dwelt the soul OF one we loved.
1t is we'll that such shrine should be
treated with respectful tenderness But
the loved one is not there. While we
are weeping over the dissolving form,
and calling it by tender names it knew,
but does not now. the spirit may be in
