NEVER FORGET ANYTHING.-Charge
your mind with your duty. That is largely
the true definition Of taithfulness Bad
memory and mistakes arc used as apologies
aGrcat deal oftcner than necessary a boy
beginning business life will generally lose
his place who pleads such an excuse more
| than once or twice.
| a successful business man says there
were two things which he learned when he
was eighteen which were afterwards Of great
use to him, namely "ncvcr to lose anythis1 !"
aud "ncvcr to forget anything" An old
lawyer sent him with an important paper,
with certain instructions what to do with it..
but" inquired the young man, Suppose
| lose it; what shall | do then 2"
The answer was with the utmost cmpha-
sis: "You must not lose it ~
Il don't mean to" said the young man
"but suppose | should happen to"
but | say you must not happen to |
shall make no provision.for any such occur
renee. You must not lose it 70
This put new train Of thought into the
young mans mind, and he found that if he
was determined to do thing he could do
it. He made such provision against every
contingency that he never lost anything
iic found this equally true about forgetting.
II certain matter Of Importance was to be
remembered, he pinned it down on his mind,
fastened 1t there and made it stay.

FLOWER GARDEN AND LAWN.

The title really should be "Tho Lawn
and Flower Garden" "as in many cases the
lawn is the first consideration; the lawn is
the groundwork upon which the flower
beds, bethey simple or elaborate, are to be
displayed.
-h mdfing q a,on, it must be borne in
2. ~ Cha the work e. .asS,,f fas xeaE sRed ed
tho grass as if for the choicest plants
Draining, if needed, is the first necessity !;
to this must follow, abundant manuring,
deep plowing, narrowing and rolling. If
the rolling discovers any weak spots. these
must be filed in The next question will
be
iSods or Seeds !ss-If the lawn is not too
large, and good pasture, or roadside turf is
to , be readily obtaiqed, it is better to use it;
G. In turfng, it must be borne in mind, that
to make successful lawn, the soil is to be
as well prepared as for sowing seeds The
turf should be of the best kind, and free
fr:sn all weeds; and when laid, should be
WI pounded down. If any soft spots are
tJahd, they should be made solid.
In Seeding Lawa, it is very desirable
TO hay stnhe marsins along roads and paths,
rs wen as the margins Of fowsr~beds, With
turf. Sow early, and, to insure an even
c;st, divide the seed into three or four parts,
and SOW in as many different directions.
For kinds. see last month Use the roller
freely, and notice, mend, and re-sow all soft
spots.
Soming Grain rM Grass, which is often
advised, is not needed unless the lawn is
sown very late
Plmting Of shrubs and trees cannot be
done now, too soon. The planting of orna-
mental beds, usually done with tropical and
sub-tropcal plants, should be deferred until
the ground is well warmed.
Ornamental Bcds-Expcricnc has
shown that European examples have little
value for u.s. and that for ornamental work we
must depend upon foliage, rather than upon
howers;. aud We m2y employ, for effect,
plants with colorod foliage, and those with
broad leaves, like the Cannas and other
similar plants, generally classed as sub trop-
ical.
CotcuScs anil -lhcymanthcrGs-Plants Of
this kind OF course require greenhouse to
provide stock Those who have not such
facilities, can produce ornamental effects
later III the season with
Annuals.-Thus, some Of the ornamental
varieties of Ricinus, or Castor Oil Plant,
are very effective; another very showy an
nual, judiciously ly used, is EupAorJia ma,yi-
nota. Then there arc the different
CcloSjos--Indecd, consultation of tho
seed catalogues of the leading houses, will
suggest various other anuuals that may be
used with good effect
NarC'H PrrcnniW Plants should not be
overlooked, as excellent DcuuIng ercc,s may
be produced with these We last year de-

He said shortly before his death that he

To avoid imposition, purchasers OF Wal
than watches will observe that every genu-
Toe watch, whether gold silver. bears our
trade mark on both case and movement

ments, irrespective of other distinguishing
marks.
This caution is rendered necessary by rea.
son of the fact that our cases are frequently
separated from our movements and put upon
worthless movements of other makers, and
wee versa, thus affecting injuriously the
performance of the watches and vitiating
our guarantee, which is intended 10 cover
only our complete watches wholly made by
us. IL is necessary also because II is so no
torlous as TO be public scandal, that there
is great fraud in the metal quality Of both
god and silver cases &c now generally sold.
We have demonstrated by frequent assays
that many gold and silver cases offered in
the market are debassd from 10 10 20 per
cent. from the quality they assume to be.
This is fraud upon the purchaser, and &C
counts for the low price at which such cssed
watches have been sold.
Eighteen carat gold, such as the Waltham
cases are made OF, is as nearly pure gold as
can be made and be durable. 1t con tains
