PROLoNGING THE BLOOM.-No plant
can continue in bloom if nature is per-
mitted to do her work completely, for
the going to seed exhausts the energies
of any subject, and stops every thing
else. By constantly removing decaylng
flowers before seed-pod can swell, the
growth of the plant and the continued
development of new buds and flowers
upon the new growth are matters of
course. Try the experiment upon the
China rose. Two cottages, having fine
plants covering their fronts, being in
the hands OF two different per-
sons, frequently exhibit the most strik-
ing contrast-one mass of flowers,
while the other is bare; and those who
pay no attention to the cause are, never
theless, often surprised at the fact. II
they look little further into the mat
ter, they would observe that the one is
loaded with hips or seed-vessels, which
are swelling in great numbers, while in
the other not solitary berry could be
seen. In the one case every bloom was
trimmed off as fast as it faded, in the
other they took their chance. Sc
it Will be found in many other cases. II
is only necessary to cut away the dead
flowers, and the season of bloom will be
prolonged, The Farm.

The Prince Imperial rode into dan

cavalier, with laughter in his eyes and a
jest upon his tongue, and he died with
the name of his country among his last

its, telling his friends that he would see
them in the course of the year, when he
hoped to have been able to show that he
was a good soldier. Able Goddard OF
Chiselhurst says that the Prince, no
matter how busily occupied, never for
got his religious duties.
