Eight Times Their Weiqht in Gold.

Following Is an extract from an article
in Scr5bner's Magazine, on Sc Practical
Agriculture, by Peter Henderson:
The cut-hower business, another phase
of Horticulture, is perhaps greater III the
United States than in any other part of
the world. Certainly the use of cut
flowers in New York, for bouquets, bas-
kets, and other designs, far greater than
in either London or Paris, and the taste
shown in their arrangement here is vast
ly superior. It is estimated that three
millions of dollars were paid for cut
flowers in New York in 1880, one-third
of which was for. rose buds. Immense
glass structures are erected in the SUBJ
urbs for the special purpose of growing
cut-fowers to supply the bouquet-mak-
ers of the city. Not less than twenty
acres of glass surface is devoted to the
purpose of forcing roses alone, during
the winter months. At some seasons the
prices paid for these forced rose-buds
are perfectly astounding. One grower,
of Madison, New Jersey, took into New
York three hundred buds of the Grim
son rose known as General Jacquemi-
not, for which he received at wholesale,
three hundred dollars, and which, no
doubt were retailed at a dollar and fifty
cents OF two dollars each. A flower
dealer in Fourteenth street, few days
before Christmas, received the only four
of this same variety of rose that were
offered in the city, and found custo-
mer for them at sixty dollara, or fifteen
dollars apiece, Or eight times the value
of their weight in gold.

To Sea in a Bowl.

Even the most sensible people keep
their ears open for tales of adventure and
foolhardiness which they would never
think of initiating, and a considerable
amount of enthusiasm will bearoused by
John Troyner, recently in the govern
ment service on the gunboat Tennessee,
and Swede named Ivan Olsen, who are
preparing for voyage from Bath, Me-,
to Havre, France, in dory only four
teen feet long, which is now building at
Georgetown. She is to be common
fishing dory of Il feet bottom, 5 feet
wide and 81 inches deep, and is to be
decked over with the exception of small
place for standing-room aft. She will be
sloop-rigged, carry two iibs, mainsail
and squaresail, and will spread to the
wind sixty yards of canvass, and viii
make ten knots an hour. She will be
the smallest boat that ever attempted
anything of the kind, and compares with
the Great Eastern as follows: Great

"CUCKOO! CUCKOO!,'
BY JOHN STUART BLAcKIE.

SCuckooi cuckoo." it haunts my way;
I hear that sweet note al the day,
From glen to glen. from brae to brae,
While pursue my grassy way
Through Ettrick Vale and Yarrow
Cuckoo, cuckoo!r it still doth say,
The very spoken breath OF May,
But viewless still from brae to brae,
As if spirit led my way
Through all the lengths of Yarrow
How many city drudge this day,
At large with me may sigh to stray,
Drinking deep draughts of breezy May,
With "Cuckool cuckoo ]" all the way
To hymn their march through farrow
Poor city scribes it makes me grieve
To think how We with inky sleeve
And fretful quill find no reprieve,
Nor factions babbhng mart may leave
TO taste sweet May in Yarrow.
S.Cuckoo! cuckoo ~ it haunts my way
Now here, now there, from brae to brae:
1t floats and wanders with light play
From dark pine wood to castle gray
And shepherds cot in Yarrow,
Ye lords and ladies gay, who ride
Through London parks in dusty pride,
l wish you all might here abide,
With whipping waters at your side,
And cuckoo's note in Yarrow

LITTLE Bo-PEEP-

Little Bo-Peep climbs On to my knee
Little Bo-Peep is four years old
And what her bright blue eyes don't see
Would need a microscope to behold.
She pulls my beard-that's one of her tasks;
She pokes my cheek with her little fat thumb
Then gazing straight in my face she asks;
What is it that makes the wrinkles come 2"
