Lone LIFE FOR THE FLowERs.--No
plant can continue in bloom If nature
is permitted to do her work completely,
for the going to seed cxhausts the en-
ergies Of any object, and stops every.
thing else. By constantly removing
decaying flowers before the seed.pod
can swell, the growth of the plant and
the continued development ofnew buds
and flowers upoE the new growth are
matters of course. Try the expert
ment upon the China rose. Two cot
tages, having fine plants Governing
their fronts, being in the hands of two
different persons, frequently exhibited
the most striking contrast-one q masi
of flowers, while the other is bare
and those who pay no attention to the
cause are, nevertheless, often surprised
at the fact. If they look little further
into the matter they would observe
that one is loaded with hips or seeC
vessels, which are swelling in grcat
numbers, whilc in the other not a soil
tary berry could be seen. 1t is only
necessary TO cut away the dead Aoweri
and the season of bloom will be pro

THE LONELY FIRST BoY.--lt is
rather difficult, says the Cincinnati
Saturday Night, to conceive of Adam
as boy, we admit, owing TO the pop
ular superstition which has painted
him coming into the world full-grown,
whiskers and moustache complete, and
the prevaiIing belief that tncrc wasn't
boy in the world until Eve came and
raised the Old Boy with Adam yet
we prefer to think of our worthy pro-
jenitor as having had something of q
boyhood, and we suppose we have as
good right to theorize upon the sub.
ject as any one else. Adam was prob.
ably as mischevious, naturally, as boys
generally are. In fact, Darwin says
he was IA perfect little monkey"
which, we believe, is a synonym fol
mischeviousness the world over. But
he had no companions in bis gambols
If he staid out after dark and got tc
cutting up, it was all by himself And
what sport could he have ringing dool
bells without lot of other boys Il
scamper away with? And consider
the melancholy fun OF fastening cords
across the walk at night with nobody
to trip over them.

Weston, the great walker, was born
in Providence. HIS father was a man
of restless brain, full Of Utopian
schemes, and finally died insane. His
mother was an intellectual woman and
after her husbands death she wrote q

sent her son Edward, the present
walkist, out into the world to sell the
product of her brain. He Travelled moi

all over Rhode Island, and parts o.
Massachusetts and Connecticut. Hi

penalty for defacing United States
coin, though from the amount OF such

We notice by the Philipsburg Jorn-
al, that Mr. Silas Reece, of Decatur,
and Geo. Emeigh, Of Morris, among
our best qualified and gifted. teachers,
have been chosen teachers in Rush
township, Centre county. The sequel
to this is that the Directors Of Rush
township pay $40 a month, and have
six months term, and consequently
get the best teachers in the profession
while the Directors of our county are
driving out the best teachers we have,
by clinging TO that sordid economy
that offers the talented and experience
ed teacher s25 month, for a term of
five months. For this reason, we will
be compelled to supply the places Of our
veterans and standard bearers, with
young unframed and unskilled teach
ers. 1t is to be hoped that our school
officers will use every honest effort to
retain the teachers that have been
tested, nothing short of this will insure
to us increased strength and efficiency.
