that he has not wooed Reform for her
dover. 1t will then be acknowledged
that he values honest government
above his political advancement. Be-
sides acquiring an enviable reputation
for disinterestedness and public spirit
he will be regarded as a power behind
the Presidency greater than she Presi.
dency itself. Even without the hint
recently given him by Governor Sey-
mour, that the highest political in
iucnce may be exerted by citizen in
a private station, Mr.. Tilden should
know from his own personal experi>
ence and political observation that
this opinion of Governor Seymour is
well founded. The examples of Dean
Richmond, Thurlow Weed, Francis
p. Blair, and that of Mr.. Tilden him
self are cases in point. He exerted as
much real power when he was tie
mere adviser of the democratic party
in this State as he does as Governor;
and at that time he escaped the irk-
some labors of official detail and had
the credit of acting from unselfish mo-
tives. In taking the Governorship he
made sorry exchange, and he will
find his pursuit of the Presidency like
the apples of Sodom-fair to the sight
but turning to ashes in his mouth. We
advise him to consult his tranquility
and give up vain chase. If Mr.. Ba-
yard should be elected President he
would, of course, offer Governor Til
den his choice of places in the Cabinet,
and, like Mr.. Seward, the Governor
would acquire more credit as Secretary
of State than he could gain as Presi-
dent. Besides, his reputation as a
u, long headed statesman would cause
the most far-reaching measures of the
administration to be ascribed to him,
so that he would acquire much honor
with little anxiety and toll.
With Senator Bayard as the demo-
cratic candidate the chances would be
very good for the success of the party.
New York will be the main battle
ground of the Presidential campaign,
and Mr.. Bayard would be more likely
to carry this State than Governor Til.
den. He has not a personal enemy in
the whole State, which is a great deal
more than can be said of the Governor
Moreover, he would have the full ad'
vantage of Governor Tilden's populari
ty in addition to his own. inasmuch as
high official promotion for the Cover
nor would follow the success of the
canvass. If Governor Tilden will but
have the magnanimity and sagacity
to support Mr.. Bayard every rival car
be put out of the field before the Con
vention meets at St. Louis and the
candidate be nominated by acclama
tien.

gorous and hardy, producing a fra
grant, elegant flower. Marigolds are
the next favorite. They range in hue
from bright saffron to dark orange.
French people use these as an herb
and sprinkle on the top of soup. Lady
slippers are attractive and to be relied
upon, and the same may be said of
coxcombs, which are famous fellows
for growing. To raise mignonette
from the seed have always found a
heart breaking task. The leaves come
up, and towards fall sickly blossom
appears. which is fatea to be nipped
by the early frost. 1t is much safer to
buy pot or two from the florist,
transplant it, and enjoy the fragrance
all through the season. 1 have tried
all sorts of bulbous roots, but outside
of the house windows. my experience
has been that they looked like a dis
tressing set of people. In windows,
however, hyacinths do very well.
Glass gardens or small cases filled
with flowers placed outside of win
dows, where they are supported by
brackets, are great addition to the
beauty of public houses, hotels. re-
staurants, very common in Europe,
and being introduced in Philadelphia.

CITY GARDENS.
BY EIZZIL.

Few things afford so much pleasure
at small expense as flowers, and most
Philadelphia houses have been built
with some consideration for their crl-
ture. Even the smallest dwellings
have something in the way of yards
connected with them in which there is
always between the bricksand the fence
a small border for horticulture; while,
in connection with larger mansions.
there is usually space enough for a
spacious garden. | have seen city
gardens presenting richer and grea-
ter variety of bloom than is found in
many elegant country seats. Often,
too, fruit abounds there, and when
produced it is of the best quality, 1t
is said that the finest quality of pears
shown at our annual horticultural ex-
hibitions are OF inter mural culture
Grapes, too, can be cultivated in ex-
ceedingly small space. A brick or two
taken up from the pavement is sutfi-
cient to plant the root, while the vine
can be trained along the walls of the
house, which is really the best situa'
tion in perfect fruit.
Wealthy people usually employ a
anu
him with cash leave the result in his
honds, but, for those of us, to whom
cash is always consideration, it is
well to know how to have few flow
ers without much expense.
The main thing about the flowers is
to get them to bloom. To achieve
this prepare your ground properly
Mix it with one third sand and hand
full of stable compound, dig and rake
properly, removing all sticks and
stones. Place your stones and old
bricks in one corner and throw a
shovelful of earth over them. Thus
you have o miniature rOckery. In this
plant house ivy. 1t will soon grow
and run up the fence. Between the
stones put few verbenas. These can
be bought for eight cents each, and
will grow amid the rocks luxuriantly.
The scarlet, purple and white are the
hardest. Standard roses are always
desirable but do not afford much sa-
tisfaction the first year they are set
out. Single scarlet geraniums are
generally the most gratifying in re-
suits; they bloom all the time and
stand great deal of neglect. The
double varieties look well, but are not
steady bloomers Then you should
have white, pink and rose geranium
helitrope and mignenette, and also a
kolia, the broad red leaves of which
are very effective in bouquets. You
must also be sure not TO forget a sweet
elysium; it will spread rapidly and
make fine appearance.

early as May, and now you have time

The profound knowledge Of Mr.
Richard Henry Dana's claims to liter
ary distinction which is shown by the
leading critical journals of England in
their comments upon his appointment,
must be very gratifying to him, and
certainly throws out into brilliant re.
lief the value of the Communications
bestowed by these journals upon Presi-
dent Grant for making such an ap-
pointment. One of these journals
speaks of '"rwo Years Before the
Mast" as the best extant picture of
''life on board of whaler," MIR. Dana
having served exclusively, as he is at
great pains to show on trading vessels;
and another praises him as having ris-
en- from the forecastle to acquire a
high position as a lawyer, without
the advantages of an early education"

his father, commonly reputed in New

THE FIRST VIOLET.

Sweet violet, that out of view,
Through snow and sleet and shower,
Has kept speck OF heavenly blue
To bless this vernal hour.
Oh. could we learn thy gentle art
When trouble clouds our skies,
To cherish in our secret heart,
A hope that never dies.
Sweet violet that dost enfold
In buds thy fragrance rare
Through weary months of rain and cold.
To sweeten now the air.
oh, could we emulate thy skill
To nurse through days of gloom,
A patient faith that watches still
To burst IN odorous bloom.
Not always in this wintry world
Shall hope neglected lie,
But soon its grace shall be unfurled
Beneath fairer sky.
Not always will the breath divine
of Faith forgotten be,
But soon genial day will shine
10 SCI .. 5weetness free.
Then in serener clime5 above
Shall Faith and Hope appear,
Decking the brow of sovereign Love
Through the eternal year.
