The Study of Botany.

The study Of botany is not a general
pursuit. There are many who could
not tell an akene from silicle to save
their lives, but only ask them if they
ever saw beggar's tick, and they will
glow with that true enthusiasm born of
unsuccessful scientific research, for there
is at least one page of botany with
which every one is familiar-the family
of the burrs, the cookies, and the tick
seed. You are always running against
them in your rambles. They are the
vagrants and the vagabonds of the veg
etable world, the vegetable tramps of
the highways.
Some Of them, like the armed burr
marigolds, are bold and daring, and jab
you with their spears in true highway
man fashion; others, as the agrimony
and enchanter's nightshade, are sly and
cautious, hiding in inconspicuous places,
and eluding your detection until discoy-
cred against the background of your
garments. But they are all our very
| constant companions in the country.
An interesting chapter might be writ
ten, and afford ample opportunity for
decoration, on the theme of ssNature as
a Sower." We have here seen q class
of plants whose only means of dissent
nation is through the medium of alien
transportation, of which design their
conformation gives perfect evidence
Others shake their seeds upon the run
ming streams, or hurl them in the cur
rent with jerk, to be washed along and
lodged upon the shingly sand bars. The
germs of many of our fruits and berries
look to the birds for their future oppor-
tunities of growth, while nuts find ar
abundant means of distribution in the
joint propensities of boys and squirrels.
Others, like the samaras of the tulip
tree and elm, are launched from the
tree-tops, and flutter with a will to the
furthest limit OF their strengths; while
many more, ethereal and spirit-like, as
| in the thistle and the fire-weed, are pro-
| vided with wings as light as air; they
are at home upon the breeze, and the
whole earth is their kingdom.
| To the latter class belongs that en-
| bodiment of grace, our roadside clemat-
is-the queen of all our native climbers,
trailing over walls and fences, throwing
its embroidered canopy over the I'M
slightly stubble, covering the ungainly
branch with waving sprays of borrowed
verdure, and swinging its dropping
arabesques in most charming abandon
along the borders Of every pond or run
ming brook.-W, II. Gibson, IN Harper s
Magazine.

There was a "hog carr in the mid

There was "hog carr in the mid
die of passenger train in Peoria lately.
The father instructed the youngsters
how to rush quickly for the car as soon
as the gate was open, and each one OF
them (five) turn over the back of a seat
SO as to secure four seats apiece on the
shady side. This they did, and when
the whole party Of ten, including nurse
and baby, got in, they spread them
selves over the whole twenty-six seats
on that side of the car, except the end
benches. No one else could get seat
on that side without an ugly dispute
with both parents and children. The
father and mother had four seats, two
of them being for their traps and their
wraps, and for their feet; two little boys
had four seats for themselves and their
bird cages and rabbit boxes; grown
up son and a "young lady" daughter
each had four seats; the nurse and baby
had four, and so it went through the
family.

Advice to Husbands.

Place confidence in your children.
Do not let them know your suspicious.
Commend them for their efforts, and
encourage them with your interest.
Be moderate in the number of your
intimate friends, and rest assured you
can have no better or trustier confdan:
than the woman who bears your name.
The superiority of man has always
been acknowledged, but a husband
should have manly understanding
enough not to assert it over his wife.
Be strictly moral; make your habits
classical; you are the criterion of your
wife and family. If they are not what
they ought to be, you are the response
bic party.
Ii your wife is out of temper, fail to
see it, remembering that there are
thousand minor veXations about her lot
of which you are entirely ignorant.
Never speak harshly.
There are two ways of governing a
family; one by brute force, the other by
firm but gentle authority. The first is
very effectual, and will secure not only
ready obedience and submission, but
the undying animosity of your unfortu-
nate children.
Let domestic matters alone; you
know nothing about them, and if you
did they are not the kind of cares for a
man to assume. Be the cashier and
make your wife business manager of
the home. If she proves incapable,
offer suggestions, which she will thank
fully receive if made in the right way.
Avoid contradicting your wife; you
never did it before and should not do it
after marriage. If you do indulge in a
lively argument or sharp dispute, con-
clude it with some good-natured pleas
antry to show that you are neither hurt
yourself nor intend that she should be.
In all your arguments and controversies
never make her uncongenial friends or
relatives the subject, and do not review
tn mistakes or misdeeds of her past
life. There may have been a thousand
follies which vanity or misfortune drew
her into, and which always defeated
their purpose, but you will be most kind
and she most grateful if you do not open
with remembrances wounds which YOU
can not heal.
Do not humiliate your wife by making
her feel her dependence. Never buy her
dresses, hats or other wearing apparel,
as you rob her of half the delight-that
of shopping and exercising her individ-
ual taste. Give her an allowance and
pay it regularly as you do your serv-
ants, and never be sordid enough to
bring her to an account about the way
she spends it. She has sensibilities on
this point that you are bound to respect.
Do not grumble about the grocer and
butcher bills till your bread and butter
almost chokes her and she wishes she
was in the bottom of the lake with a
milestone around her neck. She is the
weaker, and at your mercy, and if you
fail to properly care for her you are a
periurer.

A Joke on a Washington Correspondent.

Probably no jollier lot of fellows are
alive than the Washington correspond
ents of the American press. They find
plenty of time, even when up to their
ears in work during a busy ses-
sion, to poke fun at each other.
One of them, who furnishes spe-
cial dispatches to leading journal,
could tell Joke upon himself if he were
SO inclined. When he first entered
Washington he was exceedingly green,
but. like most novices, imagined that
news-purveying was trade which could
be learned without q long apprentice
ship. AS he was leaving the Capitol
on certain afternoon in the midst of a
short session." he was accosted by
some brother scribes, one OF whom,
with a perfectly serious face, asked
him if he had heard the result of last
nights caucus. 81 didn't know there
was one,'' he aswered. "Oh, yes, -
said the first speaker, " there was a
Joint caucus of both parties, and. after
great deal of wrangling, they voted
unanimously to adjourn Congress on
the 4th of March, g You don't
say soi'' exclaimed the victim,
hurrying off to the telegraph office. A
few minutes later this bit of news was on
the wires; stranger yet, the editor into
whose hands the dispatch passed at its
destination printed it just as it was sent,
without pausing to reflect that caucus
is invariably meeting Of one party on
ly, and that the short session of Con-
gress ends, by legal limitation, on the
4th of March, regardless of caucuses,
resolutions, votes or any other consider
ation.-HarJord COMM Times.

happened to commence using ST. JACOBS OIL on
horses in this way: My father is over eighty
years of age and is subject to many of the
ailments incident to old age. Among other
things he has Rheumatic attacks, pains in his
limbs and joints and aches in different parts of
his body. He commenced using ST. JACOBS OIL
several months since and after rubbing himself
freely with the liniment night and morning ae-
cording to the printed directions he obtained the
most decided relief Whenever he has any pain
now he uses ST. JACOBS OIL and it always drives
observation that What is good for is good for

telligence that Aristides Welsh Esq, of Erden-
helm Stock-Farm, near Philadelphia, Pa, the
breeder of that famed racer Iroquois, above rep
resented, uses and strongly endorses ST. JACOBS
OIL as wonderful remedy in its effects upon his
stock. His experience with the Great German
Remedy justified him in giving his unqualified
Endorsement of it. and in saying that his chief
groom should always use it on the farm. q

DR.. JOHN BULLS
Smiths Tonic Syrup
FOR THE CURE OF
fever and ACUE
Or CHILLS and FEVER.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine
Justly claims for it a superiority over all rem
edies ever offered to the public fer the SAFE,
CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PERMANENT cure
ofAgue and Fever, or Chills and Fever, wheth-
er Of short or long standing. He refers to tho
entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to the truth of the assertion
that in no case whatever will it fail to cure If
the directions are strictly followed and carried
out. In great many cases single dose has
been sufficient for cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with per-
feet restoration of the general health. 1t is,
however, prudent, and in every case more cer-
tain to cure, If its use is continued in smaller
doses for week or two after the disease has
been checked, more especially in difficult and
long-standing cases. Usually this medicine
will not require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order. Should the patient, however re-
quire cathartic medicine, after having taken
three or four doses Of the Tonic. single dose
Of BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS
will be sufficient.
