FRIENDSHIP.

Oh, dearer one friend in adversty's night
Than hundreds that come in prosper
ity's light;
And Sweeter one voice mid the hurricanes
roar
Than thousands we hear when the
tempest Is DER.
'Tis not in the time when our skies are
serene,
That the true loving bosom Of friend
ship is seen,
But when the soul suffers and sorrows
alone,
Oh, then the sweet va lue of friendship
is known.
True friendship be thou into Joy lifted up,
Thou cordial of God in humanity's
cup!
And may all loving bosoms, in storm or
in calm,
Never want the sweet dew OF thy soul
healing balm.

Washington society has already begun
to discuss matters OF official etiquette.
Washington etiquette is different from
that OF any other city In the United
States, and many Of our most prominent
women are at loss about many conven-
tonalities during their first year In Wash
1ngton. Strangers here always make the
first call, and the person Of lower rank al
ways calls upon those who are above her,
The wives of public officials are ex-
pected to return all calls made upon them
whenever the caller leaves a card These
calls often amount to 1000 on a single re-
ception day, and it is impossible to know
who the representatives OF the cards are.
When Mrs. Senator Sherman was the wife
OF the Secretary OF the Treasury she found
herself once calling upon the wife of her
butcher, and another Cabinet Officers
wife, In making i!er rounds Of return calIs.
found herself taken up back stairs over
corner grocery, and recognized tho
woman whose call she was returning. A

understanding being that if the latter
board acted favorab!v on the applica.
tons the county board would do tn,
same.
The action of the city fathers was re-
ported to the county fathers. and Capt
Peace moved that the licenses be granted
to the same parties now running saloons.
Mr.. Blalock refused to second the
motion.
Chairman Waller could not put a
motion without second.
After some talk. during which Capt.
Peace said he thought it taking an nn-
fair advantage of the whiskcy dealers to
shut them suddenly and ,vithout warn
ing and that in Justice to them he would
vote to issue license this time but would
vote against it next July, it was finally
decided to call special session of the
[uil board for next Wednesday. Jan. II.

The Athen@um slashes into Mr. Froude's 9
Divorce Of Catherine OF Arason" with
savage glee. 1t begins by calling the
book "a splendid piece Of audaclty," and
ends by saying:
We really cannot go into all tho sophis-
tries. oil the misrepresentation contained
In this book. Like tho History" pub
nshed thirty-five years ago, it is written
with the express object OF justifyinR
Henry VIII. ; and for that object it is man
1fest all through that we are asked to shut
our eyes to the plain evidences OF cruelty
injustice and oppression, and to Withhold
our sympathies from ill-used women like
Catherine of Ara9on and the Princess
Mary, from martyrs like Fisher and
More, and even from Henry's unhappy
idol and victim, Anne Boleyn. who had
enough to answer for, surely, without
having her memory loaded with crimes
which she solemnly denied In the immed-
late prospect OF an ignominious death.
No Intelligent reader will allow his judg-
ment to be swayed by such manifest
special pleading as prevails throughout
the work. But II any one Of ordinary edu-
cation takes up this volume in the hope of
clearing his ideas on the subject Of Henry
Wills divorce, 1t Is to be feared that ho

STOHEWALL JACKSON.

His Carefu! Observance OF the SnbsAth.
A Battle Was a Necessity.
The religion Of Stonewall jackson is an
enigma to many who study the life Of tho
great soldier, while to others 1t is scorn
and a dersion. To those who sack q sub
1ect for caricature the eccentricities in
witch he carried some things to an ex-
treme, furnish plenty OF material for their
small wit. Such was his rigid observance
OF the Sabbath. Not only did he refrain
from all worldly occupations on that day,
he would not even write letter, nor read
ono II he received 1t, even though 1t was
from her who was soon to be his Wife, He
was sure that it would keep it's sweetness
Till the next day. and meanwhile he had
the pleasure OF anticipation. Nay, more,
he would not post letter on Saturday
lest 1t should travel on Sunday. One
exception, however, he was compelled to
make. Sometimes he had TO f1xht a bat
tie on that holy day; but that he looked
upon as a work OF necessity" IL not OF
mercy and thon he would keep Mon
day! SO scrupulous was he not to defraud
the Lordi OF His just due that he would
sometimes keep two or three days run
ming to balance tho account.-Harper's

PREPARATION FOR PLANT BEDS.

There are two modes for raising
plants-in hot bed or cold frame, or
in the open air-one or the other hay-
ing preference according to locality;
the former being more practiced north
of forty degrees of latitude, while the
latter is preferred south of that line.
We will here give both, that planters

But there is no question that open

mode OF raising plants is practicable,
it is greatly to be preferred for the
main supply of plants. 1t is a we'll

in open air stand transplanting better
