Insects on Plants,

Horticulturists are now to he ON the olert
to counterfeit the threatened mischief of
the insects. Wick, who is the best of au
thority in such matters, gives us some
hlnts which will be worth noticing. He
says that the principal insect enemies of
Ihe rose arc the green fly, the leaf hopper
sometimes improperly called thrips-thc
rose-slug and the rose-bug.
Inc green fly is easily destroyed by
Swinging the infested plants with weak
solution OF tobacco. Take quantity of
tobacco stems, and let them stand in water
until the strength is soaked out of them.
II the water is too strong it will burn the
foliage and turn it yellow; therefore, before
using 1t should be tested by dipping into
II some green foliage, and if it burns it is
100 strong and must be reduced by adding
water, When sufficiently diluted, the
plants can be syringed with it.
The leaf-hopper can be destroyed by the
same means, but we have always preferred
10 use weak solution of whale oil SOAP
ior 1t; say one pound of soap to five gallons
OF water. The plant can be syringed with it,
and care should be taken to throw the water
upward against the under side ofthe leaves
as well as on the upper sides, as the insects
are usually in greater numbers beneath.
The rose slug, which eats the upper sur
lace OF the leaf, and is often destructive.
can be eilectually destroyed by the use of
whaie oil soap as described above. Our
own experience is that with good soil,
good cultivation, and the timely and pro-
per use OF whale oil soap there is as little diff.
nIculty IN raising roses and keeping them
thrifty, as there is in raising beets and
turnips.
The rose bug can only be successfully
attacked by hand picking or brushing off
into dish of water, when they can be
scalded or otherwise destroyed.
The mildew which often attacks the
rose should be treated with sulphur; either
by sprnkling upon it the flour of sulphur
or mixing the sulphur with water and APP
plying it with a syringe.
Air-slackcd lime and curbolic powder
seem the most effective in destroying the
cabbage worm that has lately taken to cat
ing mignoncttc
The currant worm in this section has
seen his best days. Ilcllebore is the best
application. When the enemy ia gone we
shall OF course have no trouble in getting
our currants started again.
In the doubling ola flower, the stamens
and pistls, in whole or in part, become

Is called monstrosity by botanists.
Sometimes this change is effected hy high

Pluck.

Few virtues are more popular, more fus-
cinating, and, unfortunately, more rare
than pluck. do not refer to the blind,
spasmodic, ieverish, impulsve manifesto
tions that are usually Chased under that
head. mean that steady, cool, quiet, in
variable, and persistent quality, founded
on neither ignorance nor miscalculation,
spurred on neither by emulation nor con-
ceit, following out, through clearly foreseen
and well-appreciated dangers and difficult
ties some purpose, be it good or bad,
which is the fortunate heritage ofsome indi-
viduals Pluck is distinct from physical
courage; rather, the latter is but an ele-
ment Of it. 1t is, perhaps, best described
as moral courage in relation to physical
matters. No eminent man has retained the
height lie occupies without ii; and no one
possesses it but has in him the most valua-
BILE element Of a great man. The world
pays to it its most heartfelt if not its loud.
est homage. There arc few who cannot
sympathize with it, for it is peculiar to no
class in life; and, though always retain
ing the individuality, it accoids just as
well with the muscles of the prize-fightcr
as we'll as with the transcendent genius of
Napoleon. Either may exist without it;
but then the Napoleon is vulgar schemer,
and the prize-figbter brute-and there
are plenty of both. 1t is virtue benef-
cent solely through the magnetism of its
own intrinsic quality. In whatever cause
displayed, it is always noble and emo
bling trait If exercised for good, so much
the better; if not, it still remains pluck,
and commands admiration.

NEwsPAPERs.-A exchange paper says:
"There arc no business men in the world
so subject to the sponging process as pub
fishers of newspapers. 1t really seems that
public corporations, societies and associa-
tions in general, and many persons, have n
funny notion about papers. They think
we ought to print, puff and publish all for
nothing, that is free gratis In other
words, they seem astonished if we ask half
price only for an obituary notice, card of
thanks, tribute of respect, personal COM
muncation Or anything else that only in
terests few persons and not the general
reader. They forget that it takes money
to pay the compositors, to buy ink, type
and paper, and, lastly, they often for
get even to thank you for grutuitously
serving them or the public.

20 Q tiCa al .
5OlhlRMy Dine.

bVhhHhy Hhhc.
There was a cobhler livd "down East"
Whose name was Johnny Dine;
Over his door he had for years
An ugly pasteboard sign.
Now Johnny was thirsty soul,
More so than most of men,
And now and then he took n glass,
but ottcner non than then.
No man was more Industrious
All kinds of work would do
And sober every day was John,
Except when he was blue
Now, drinking with some friends one night
There rose, as often will,
A controversy as to who
Should pay the landlords bill
so wrangled they awhile, but soon
They ended the ail'ray,
And all agreed to settle it in
This amicable way:
Each was to take another glass,
And then repeat rhyme;
The man who fail'd should pay the cost
That man was Johnny Dine.
With heavy head and pockets light,
Soon johnny left, alone;
Quite near he lived, yet long it was
Before he reach'd his home.
Now johnny lookd, and look'd in vain,
AS he had oft before,
So hard it was, when he was blue,
To find his own front door,
AT last, not knowing whether right,
lie knocked in wild despair,
When, 10 above his wife cried out,
"Who in the world is there 2"
Ills your dear honey" he replied
pray let us have no strife
IT'S |, John Dine" "Drunk rs 4 swine"
Quickly returned his wife.
stop, stop, dear wife, III soon he back
Cried Johnny in glcc;
"lll show them | can rhyme it, too,
And make them pay for me.
], John Dine, as drunk as swine,
Now surely is first rate;
|, John Dine, as drunk as a swine
I'll fix them, sure as fate.
II, John Dine, as drunk us IL swine.
Is poetry and sense,
And johnny Dine, MS they shall soc,
Will drink at their expense"
Alas he had an awful time
To find the tavern door
y little strange, as johnny had
Been often there before.
At last arrived, he soon proposed
TO drink little more,
And he who failed to rhyme should pay,
As he had just before.
SO each their glasses filled again.
Repeated each their rhyme,
And all in turn succeeded we'll
At last came Johnny Dine.
Sure of success now, Johnny rose,
And loudly did eXclaim-
81, johnny Dine, as drunk as Il HOG :"
So johnny paid again.

How TO DESTROY ENEMiEs.-Nangiec
Emperor of China, being told that his cne-
mics had raised an instruction in one of
the distant provinces, said, "Come then,
my friends, follow me, and promise you
that we shall quickly destroy Them"
He marched forward, and the rebels sub
mitted upon his approach. All now
thought that he would take the most sig
nal revenge, but were surprised to see the
captives treated with humanity.
"How !" cries his first minister; sis this
the manner in which you fulfil your prom
Use? Your royal word was given that
your enemies should be destroyed, and be-
hold, you have pardoned all, and have ca
ressed some"
81 did promise replied the Emperor,
with generous air, "to destroy my enc
mics. have fulfilled my word for see,
they are enemies no longer. have made
friends of them"

Prices Reduced!
VERY IMPORTANT.

Mr.. Editor Cf The LEyiS d htclIigcnccr:
As there is great deal of rivalry everywhere,
in the political field, in the social circle, and
even in the church, therefore you might expect
it i'll the business profession. This rivalry in
business has reached the climax in the stove
trade.
Ever since the TIMES COOK took the Gold
Medal for quick baking it has been attacked by
jealous rivals, but since it has taken the lead
OF all iirst.class Cook Stoves in Baltimore and
bids fair to finally supercede them 1t has in
Cured the spite and envy of those who could
not secure the sale of it, so much so that they
take our double fire shield cross piece and uli-
crew them and show buyers one.haf and say
also say it Will not bake well, draw well, is not
No. | iron, &c, &c.
SO the only security for buyers is 10 come di-
rect to No. 9G " Gag Suect, near Front STREET,
and see for themselves if the TIMES COOK
isn't the largest, heaviest, most economical and
best BAKING STOVE ever made. Every one
of the TIMES COOK is guaranteed to bake per-
icctly.
The reason can sell them so cheap is that
am connected with the "Quakertown Stove
Works." and we make them ourselves, so you
buy tIom first hands. No two profits at young
Gluck's.
We do say it is the heaviest, largest and the
best working stove ever offered for sale
Nearly eight thousand sold.
Call and examine for yourself.

THE SUN CHOLERA MIXTURE.-T The hot
season reyives the necessity of having at
hand good cholera mixture, and none
has been proved more effective than the one
published years ago by The NeeO York San.
This consists Of equal parts of tincture OF
opium, red pepper, rhubarb, peppermint,
and camphor. 1t is remedy for summer
complaint, diarrh@a, cramps in the bowels,
and similar ailments, and affords almost
instant relief. The dose is from three to
ten drops for q child according to age,
and ten to thirty drops for an adult, accor
ding to the severity of the attack.

SOMETHING To THINK oF.-Ninety years

And could we be sure of ninety years.

dream, an empty sound, that passeth on
the wings of the wind away and is forgot
ten. Years shorten as man adYanccth in
age Like the degrees in longitude, mans
life declines as he travels toward the fro
zen pole, until it dwindles to point and
vanishes forever. Is it possible that life
is of so short duration Will ninety years
erase all the golden names over the doors
in town and country, and substitute others
In their stead Will all the now bloom
ing beauties fade and disappear, all the
pride and fashion, the love, hope and JOY
pass away and be forgottena
NINETY years." says Death "do you
think shall wait ninety years. Behold,
to-day and tomorrow, and every day are
mine. When ninety years are past, this
