Plants for the Cemetery.

For large lots know of nothing finer than
| Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora. 1t is
perfectly hardy without. any protection
whatever, standing our most severe win
tiers without the loss of bud. That is
more than can be said of MANY native
plants. 1t blossoms in August and Sep
TENDER, when most shrubs have ceased to
bloom. Its individual flowers are small,
but so many of them are borne in a clus-
ter that it has the most massive effect of
any shrub | know, and this without any
appearance of stiffness or clumsiness.
The flowers are waxy white, and last for
long time.
The best white rose tor cemetery use is
Madam Planter. This rose is not a large
one, but the flowers are borne in clusters.
and the effect is fine. 1t is pure white,
very profuse boomer and graceful
grower.
An excellent evergreen shrub. growing
low and spreading considerably. is Daphne
cneorum. 1t has pale se-colored flow
ers, which are very fragrant. 1t blooms
quite profusely in spring and at intervals
thereafter during the season. 1t is per-
fectly hardy
! Among herbaceous plants we have no
white one more beautiful than the astilbe.
1t blooms early. and bears its little flowers
in great profusion in clustered spikes,
which have a feathery grace and delicacy
quite charming and unusual among herba-
ceous plants.
| The lily of the valley is beautiful plant
for the cemetery. 1t blooms early, and
no flower 1as more charm for u.s. Its pur-
ity, its fragrance, its grace makes it ia
vorite everywhere. 1t ought to be raised
more than it is. 1t will do well in shade,
and can be used where large evergreens
would make il useless 20 try to raise many
other flowers VIck's Magazine.

Genius and Labor.


There are persons who excuse to them
selves their laziness on the assertion that
they have genius. Others are often
tempted to despond by the feeling that
they have not genius. Both classes may
learn something to their profit if they will
study this extract.
ats no mans business whether he has
genius or not; work he must, whatever he
is, but quietly and steadily; and the nat
ural and enforced results of such work
will be always the thing that God meant
him to do, and will be his best. No
agonies nor heart-rendings will enable
him to do any better. If he be great man
they will be great things; if small mans
small things; but always. if thus quietly
done, good and right; always, if rest
lessly done. false. hollow and despicable.

The Greatest City In The World.

London, England,is the greatest city the
world ever saw. 1t covers within the 10
miles radius of Charing Cross (Strand,)
700 square miles. 1t numbers within these
boundaries 100000 of inhabitants. 1t
comprises over 100000 foreigners from
every quarter of the globe. 1t contains
more Roman Catholics than Rome itself;
more Jews than the whole of Palestine
more Irish than Dublin; more Scotchmen
than Edinburgh; more Welshmen than
Cardiff; more country-raised persons than
the counties of Devon, Warwickshire and
Durham combined Has birth in every
five minutes has death in every eight
minutes has seven accidents every day in
its 5000 miles of streets; has on an aver
age 40 miles of streets opened and 49,
900 new houses built every year. In 1888
there were added 22,1l0 new houses to
the vast aggregate of dwellings which is
called the metropolis, thus forming 1868
new streets and one new square, covering
distance of 76 miles and "a yards. 1t
is difficult to form any mental picture
from these figures. Brighton, the queen
of watering places. in 1881 had 20,379 in
habitants, so that London in 1888 added
to itself a town bigger than Brighton. 1t
would require two Cambrdges, or Ok
fords. OF Baths to represent the add-
ton made to London in a single year.
London has $4,000 persons annual
ly, added by birth, to its popu-
lation; mas over 1000 ships and 10,-
600 sailors in its port every day; has as
many beer shops and gin palaces as would
if placed side by side, stretch from Char
ing Cross to Portsmouth, distance of 70
miles; has $4,000 drunkard' annually
brought before its magistrates; has 20
miles of open shops every Sunday; has
influence with all parts OF the world rep
resented by yearly delivery in its postal
districts of 98,000.000 of letters. $50
trains pass Chapman Junction every day.
The London Omnibus Company have over
700 buses, which carry Sc 900 passengers
annually. 1t is more dangerous to walk
railroad, or to cross the Atlantic from New
Orleans to Liverpool. Last year 1870 per-
sons were killed and 1000 injured by
vehicles in the streets. There are in
London 10000 police. $4,000 cabmen.
$4,000 persons connected with the post
office. The cost of gas for lighting Lon
don is S3,00O.000. London has 400 daily
and weekly newspapers. Last year
there were nearly 600 fires. The ancient
and famous city of London was first
founded by Brute, the Trojan. in the year
of the world 1882. so that since the first
building it is 3006 years old. The drain
age system of London is superb, and the
death rate very low.

Rose growing on Large Scale.-The
demand for roses and other fine flowers
for the holidays in the large cities has
grown to enormous proportions. To meet
this demand, dollhouse establishments by

in the vicinity of the large towns, and in
these millions of blooms are in the ag-
gregate raised annually for the trade. As
