and creeping up, struck both of them at

OF running away, sprang at the boy with Il
fury that startled HIM. Having nothing
with which to defend himself, the boy tum
blcd around, while the CATS SCALED, clawcd
and bit him numerically. The boys cries
did not bring assistance, and, Of course, rca-
llzng the fact that it might prove fatal to
delay desperate efforts the boy sprang to-
ward the ladder leaning against the raftcrs,
and ascendcd to the roof Of the house. The
cats followed him, and, despite his efforts
To keep them away, bit and clnwcd him

FlOwcr Culture Tho GCrrniun,,

Among ladies who cultivate flowers, tho
geranium has long been deserved favorite;
being found in almost every collection in
the parlor, the garden or the greenhouse.
We have thought, therefore, that some ac-
count of this flower and the best mode of
managing it, would be acceptable to our
fair readers. Gernnums will always he
admired, either for the agreeable fragrance
of Their foliage, or the splcndCr of their
flowers; and when the great dclicacy of
their flowers, the brillancy and endless
variety of their colors, the finely pcnclcd
lines in some, and the cloudcd spots in
others, as well as the great length of time
which they contnnc TO display their bios
SONS, are taken into consideration, they
arc surpassed by but few flowers. The
plants which have opened the greatest por-
tion Of their flowcr-buds. should be removed
from the greenhouse or parlor to the garden,
or TO some situation where they will be cx-
posed to the sun part of the day. The
scarlet geraniums form u superb show when
in bloom. Nothing, indeed, can exceed
the beauty and briliancc of collection of
dwarf scarlet gcraniums, either in beds or
in pots; they cnlivcn the balcony, the
window, or the parl0r, all summer. If
removed into q warmer conservatory in
November, and little water given to them
until the middle Of December, when they
commence growing, they will flower from
January to April. Propagation is very
easily effected by cuttings, requiring only
to be shifted from time to time. The
young plants arc very liable to be attacked
by the aphidian, or green fly. The most
effcctual cure Is tobacco water.

Coast SyNyCa.

Next to tho action OF ram and rivers
comes the gnawing effect of coast waves
The waves thunder against the cliff, which
mocks It's seemingly impotcnt rage by dash
ing it backward in a cloud of foam and
spray, but IL returns again aud again to the
charge until pcrsistcncy wins the day.
The cast coast of England, which has for
centuries been fast yielding to the attacks
of the German Ocean, furnishes Sir g.
Lyell with tho majority of his illustrations
in his interesting chapters upon the actions
of tides and currents. That eminent gcolo-
gist tells us how towns and villages, marked
by names in old maps now lie fathoms deep
beneath the waves. In one case, which
came under his notice, honscs had within
the memory of living men stood upon q
cliff fifty feet high, but In less than half
century houses and cliff were all cngulfcd,
and sea water deep enough to float frigatc
occupied their site. AS many as twelve
churches, each further landward than the
last, have been built in one parish, and all
but one have been swallowed up by tho
sea. Chnrch-yards have consequently
been destroyed, in many places tho corpscs
and skeletons having been washed out Of
thcirgravcs and floatcdaway by the tide. Sir
G. Lyell himself saw human remains pro-
truding from the cliff at Receivers, at
Kent, in 1861. AMI he humorously alludcs
to scene depicted by Bewick, which, he
says, numerous points on that coast might
have suggested; the graveyard Of ruined
abbey undermined and isolated by tho sea,
with broken tombstone in the foreground
serving as o pc: ch for the commorants and
bearing the inscription: "'ro perpetuate
the memory of -; one whose very name
was oblitcratcd, and whose monument was
to fall in the waves. And he aptly, though
somewhat sarcastically, suggests that such
tombstone would be O. 6t tribute to tho
memory of 'solne philosopher" who had
taught "the permancncy of existing conti-
nents," " the ''cra of reposc, or tho ''impo.

Iron In Ancient England.

lin the reign of Edward III. iron was 80
scarce that the pots, spits and frying pans
of tho royal kitchen were classed among
the kings jewels Up to the end of the
fifteenth century English iron was not only
dcarcr but inferior to that manufactured on
the continent. During the fifteenth cen
tury the manufacture of iron began TO DO
extensive in Sussex, where the orc and the
timber for smelling it abounded, and iron
mills soon became numerous in the country.
The landed proprietors entered into tho
business eagerly, and not only were many
ancient houses enriched thereby. but sever
al now men acquired wealth and founded
families. In tho forest of Dean also, where
wood was plentiful, iron was largely smolt-
cd. The land, however, soon became de-
nudcd of trees in consequence of the cx-
elusive use of charcoal for smelling; people
became alarmed, and many edicts were
Illuminated restricting the manufacture Of
iron. Eventually the feeling became 80
strong that from the timo of tho Restoration
the iron manufacture of England rapidly
declined. Coal was known, but thcrc was
q. prejudice against its use on account Of
its supposed pcsticntial qualities. Coal,
moreover, as then used, injuriously affected
the quality Of tho iron, and 1t was not un-
til the beginning Of the eighteenth century
that the first real steps for overcoming the
difficulty were taken. 4.
