Dusty Miller.
IVick's Monthly I

Cineraria martina, or as It is more popu-
larly known under the familiar name OF
Dusty Miller, is one of the most valuable
of ornamental plants that have silvery foli-
age. 1t belongs to the natural order Compo-
sita, and is a native of the south of Europe,
whence it was introduced into cultivation as
early as 1868.
| 1t is a half-hardy perennial plant, grow
ing from one and half to two and half
feet in height, with comparatively insignif-
can't yellow flowers and deeply cut, pin
natifid, silvery gray leaves; and as it is a
compact, vigorous, healthy grower, as well
as being free from all insect pests, it is one
of the most useful silvery leaved plants we
have for massing purposes or ribbon line. It
stands our hos, dry summer weather with
out sustaining the least injury. In mixed
border single specimens are at all times very
attractive, while well grown plants of it are
very suitable for decoration purposes during
the winter season, either in the conservatory
or in the window garden.
When grown in flower border this Cine
raria prefers moderately rich yet deep soil,
and copiOus watering during seasons of
drought; and when grown in pots, ordinary
potting soil will answer very we'll if good
drainage is given. This cineraria, however
does not obtain its best coat of silvery down
before the second season, and so, if it is
desirable to have the plant in all its beauty,
it should be propagated by cuttings early in
the spring, choosing the twiggy side shoots,
which, when rooted, treat as lvised for
young plants. Three or four nice plants,
taken up before cold weather sets in, will
furnish an abundance of cuttings in the
spring, ifplaced in heat for two or three
weeks, or if planted in flower border, will
produce an abundance of seed if properly
cared for.
Some prefer to SOW the seed thinly in
shallow boxes, about the middle of Septem-
Der, permitting the young plants to remain
therein until spring, when they are removed
and reboxed. Either of the above methods
will produce fine plants if the directions
given are followed, and a person can select
the method which seems most desirable to
him.
This cineraria bears considerable resem-
blance to some Or the centaurers, but as it is
of more vigorous growth and is more easily
ropagated it is preferable for amateuas, to
whom can unhesitatingly recommend it as
the finest silvery foliage plant we have in
cultivation, Il

THE LILY OF THE VALLEY.

4 lily of the valley
In outline frail and dim,
Leans from the water over
A goblet's fragile rim
Pure as the prayer of childhood.
Sweet as an evening hymn.
The slender stalk is swinging
Its seven tiny bells.
Like fairy chorus singing;
And from the crystal cells
We fancy-faint and tender
Aerial music wells.
Amid the vexing problems
And codes of men abroad,
The tiresome creeds and systems
Through which we toll and plod,
How sweet and simple blossoms
A perfect thought Of God

TO A DAISY.

Wee, little rimless wheel of Fate,
With silver spokes and hubs of yellow,
What gentle girl, in accents mellow,
Has sought your aid to find a mate?
Who snapt your slender spokes apart.
Each one some dear acquaintance naming :
And who was he-the loved one claiming
The choicest chamber in her heart?
tiny hub Of golden hue
Kist by her tender fingers pressing,
Still yet methinks. she's vainly guessing
II what you prophesied were true.
You died between her finger-tips,
Sweet gypsy maid of wisdom magic:
Pray, is it worth death so tragic
10 hear the music from her lips?

Queen Bess and Her FlirtatiOns.

NaSaZme
Sinner was one of the handsomest men of
his day, the most fascinating and polished of
courtiers, and one whose 5onnes fortunes
were the envy of every gallant of Paris. He
had no sooner presented his credentials at
/ the English Court than the infammatory
Elizabeth became completely subjugated by
the manners and appearance OF the capti-
waiting envoy. Leicester recognized at once
in the charming Sinner formidable rival
and hated him accordingly.
The Queen took no pains to hide the pleas
ure she derived from the society of the new
Ambassador; not a day passed without her
sending for him sometimes she would call
for him in her barge, and they would take
the air together on the Thames she asked
advice on all matters, and it was often late
in the evening that she dismissed him
from her apartment Such intimacy natural
ly did not pass without comment.
m. de Sinner is no stranger to me- said
Elizabeth when reproached with the levity
of her conduct, ''but faithful servant of my
future husband, knowing all his secrets, and
therefore best fitted to advise me and train
me for the position I am to occupy" Under
the guidance of the envoy the conditions Of
the marriage proceeded swiftly and smooth
ly. The Queen declared that she would
marry Gne luke ana, actlnS upon the aQ-
vice OF Sinner, Alencon hurried to Boulogne,
crossed the Channel, and was met at Green
wich by the Queen. The interview between
the two passed off better than had been ex-
pected. Elizabeth was not disgusted, and
the young man played the lover to perfec-
tiOn.
He was constantly in her society, and
when absent from her wrote letters, burn
ing enough" said one of the ENJOYS of the
court, ITO set water on fire. He was lavish
of the promises and pledges which courtship
generally engenders, and the Queen per-
mitted herself to be fascinated He was
lodged in the next apartment to hers in the
Palace, and Elizabeth, with her usual disre-
gard of the worlds opinion, behaved to him
very much as she had behaved to Sinner,
who, his mission now accomplished, had re-
turned to Paris laden with gifts. Mary
Stuart, well aware of the remarks her sweet
cousin had made upon the intimacy between
herself and Rizzo, was not slow to retaliate.
Those who wish to know the opinion Mary
If Scotland entertained of Elizabeth of
England have only to read the letters of the
unhappy woman published by Prince
1abonoff.

TERRITORIAL
A TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT.

Last August Senator Ben. Hill,
Of Georgia, died. A month or two
since resolutinns touching his death
were presented in the Senate, and
among others, Senator Ingalls,, OF
Kansas, confesscdly one of the
ablest men il Congress, delivered
an eulogy. The Senator did not
travel the beaten path, and picture
the fallen Senator as vacating his
seat in Washington, and taking
one in Heaven neither did he re-
present INN as tortumng III the
flames of Ilades, and calling on
some Republican in the realms
above to give him a drop of water
to cool his parched tongue. No.
He made a sensible speech, and
hence the tempest which cnsued.-

orations.
Senator Ingalls, knows as much
about 1.-THE life to come" as the
balance of us do. No more, ne
less. His faith may not be so vi
vid or strong as that of some, but
where his faith is weak his sense is

Senator Ingalls,, probably, be-
lieves as we do, but in his eulogy

epithet "infidel.

women who babble in favor of es-

their garments close about them

CORRECTION POINTERS.

1HH article III tne IOHteTS OF
February goth on the BoHito coun-
try, has attracted our attention.
Mr.. IIadley's trip to that mining
district was his first, and from the
short stay he made he could have
taken but a partial view Of the
camps and their mineral resources
and advantages. lie has done
merited justice to the grandeur Of
the scenery which met his gaze in
this hitherto untrequented region
unfrequented except by the sturdy
and laborious prospectors and min
ers who have explored its mineral
treasures and kept possession Of
their rich claims until the govern
ment reduced the limits of the In
dian Reservation and threw open a
portion of it to location and settle

been ably set out in his article.
