MORE COMET.

Sitting one evening watching the comet
| fell into musing over the many different
theories advanced in regard to this strange
celestial visitor. From the comet my
thoughts got to rambling among the differ.
ent stars, and planets, specializing upon
their relation to one another and to this
earth of ours, whether the matter of which
they are composed is similar or different,
and above all, whether they are inhabited
by creatures, who are in form, shape and
intelligence like the people here Is there
not some way of finding OUT The genius
and inventive power of the present age is
certainly such, that it wouldn't be too
much to expect an early solution of this
problem. There is the beautiful art of
photography brought to such perfection
that pictures are taken in an instant, then
also the art Of charging them. have it
let me put to practice my theory and see
what comes of it. Shall try 1t on Jupiter

taking instantaneous impressions, now it's

Oh, see what beautiful picture of that
brilliant planet Here about 35 degree,
northeast Of the equator is peculiar spot,
we'll take that for the initial point; 1t is
about the size of the head of IA pin; we will
now cover the picture with the white paper,
except this spot. AS for the present, hav-
ing no more use for this instrument, we
will 60 into the other hail. where the
camera for the enlargement Of pictures is;
everything now being ready, let us at once
begin the work of charging. See here
we have picture Of the spot enlarged to
about eight inches in diameter. We will
now use point the same size as before
from the centre of every picture for an OBJ.

tains tending northeast and southwest, in
the south body Of water like an ocean.
Our object being to discover inhabitants,
we will take that indentation in the south
east for our next picture, 1t looks like a
gulf or bay, and if this magnificent planet
is inhabited by intelligences similar to us,
they will most likely be found in cities,
and cities are more apt to be near gulf
or bay than anywhere else.
Our conjecture was correct. What q
magnificent scence this picture presents
There ia most wonderfully laid-out city,

PrOpagating Roses.
From tho Germantown Telegraph.

The month Of August is probably the
best time to propagate roses by slips.
There are various modes by which it is done.
Nurscymen, we think, prefer setting the
slips in saucers or shallow dishes, with
sharp sand and water, so as to be about the
consistence of mud. and renew the water
daily. The youngest of this years WOOD is
the best, and with due care any number can
be raised in this way. But there are other
and somewhat simpler ways for private
families to obtain all they need. The young
wood can be set out in cold franc, or in
rich, loose soil and watered daily. In
about a month the plant can be taken up
carefully and set in small pot, and treat
ed as would be other plants always remem.
bering that frequent watering is indispens-
able. The yoang wood should be cut off
little below joint or eye, leaving one or
two eyes on the part out of the ground, and
stripping off all the leaves. The younger
the wood is the better. Our own efforts in
the propagating Of roses have been better
rewarded by setting out in loose soil than
by the saucer and sand process; but We do
not wish to say that it is to be preferred.
