ROI3) SANT>. The sand obtained from turnpikes, or roads macadamized with any sort of stones like granite, hard blue stones, very difficult to break and pulverize, has a peculiar value. The grinding of such rocks or stones under the iron-riunued wheels of wagons, the wettr cf horse-shoes, and the mixture of this ground rock with the manure scattered along the roads —produces a compound which is found to be highly acceptable to trees and plants. The granite rock, we know, is rich in poTash and silica; but it is not these ele ments alone which give this road sand its peculiar value. By the process of grinding and triturating inert substances, such as oyster shells, charcoal, quicksilver, we devel op medicinal and other virtues which these substances do not possess in their crude form And so it is supposed to he with road sand. By the constant grinding and triturating ol the iron-bound wheels and horses' shoe?., the comminuted granite becomes prepared for tbe use ol plants ; and when this road sand is mixed with tbe compost heap and saturated with liquid manure, it is found to help the efficacy of the compost in a remark able manner. I'oder the influence of road sand of this kind alone, it is said that when applied to lawns, white clover is sure to spring up in the greatest abundance and luxuriance where it had never been seen be fore.—Dr. J. S. IJoughtou, in Gardener's Monthly. FROST CRYSTALS UPON L'RIED GRASS. — Several persons have by this time laid up to put into bouquets the beautiful grasses which they gathered in the autumn and sum mer of the present year. In order to add variety and some pleasing effects to portions of such grasses, they may be covered with imitation frost-crystals, some white, others hlue-grcen, and amber. To erystaliize dry grass white, steep it in a solution of one pint of hot water containing one pound of alum. As it becomes cold, crystals wiil ad here to the grass, which will increase in size if left for a day or more; but small crystals look the best; and in order to keep them so, the grass should be often moved and turned about When taken out of the solution and dried in the air, they are St lor mounting with the other grasses, and greatly add to their beauty. For the b!ue-greec crystals use sulphate of copper, and for amber crys tals use chromate or potash instead of the alum. Feathers may ai-o be crystalized in the same way. Art and taste will arrange them into forms of beauty.— Septimus Piesse. WINTER RULES.—Never go to bed with cold or damp feet. In going into a colder air, keep the mouth resolutely closed, that by compelling the air to pass circuitoudy through the nose and head, it may become warmed before it reaches the lungs, and thus prevent those shocks and sudden chills which frequently end in pleurisy, pneu- j monia, and other forms of disease. .Never sleep with the head in the draught of an open door or window. Let more covering be on the lower limbs than on the body. Have an extra covering within easy reach in case of a sudden and great change of weather during the night. Never stand still a moment out of doors, especially at street corners, after having walked even a short distance. Never ride near the open window of a vehicle for a single half minute, es pecially if it has fcren preceded by a walk; valuable lives have thus been lost, or good health permanently destroyed. Never put on a new boot or shoe in tbe beginning of a walk. How TO PRESERVE A BOQI EX—When you receive a boquet, sprinkle it lightly with fresh water; then put it in a vessel contain ing soap suds; this will nullify the stem and keep the flowers as bright as new Take the boquet out of the ? Is every morning and lay it sideways (tbe stock entering first) into clean water, keep it there a minute or two, then take it out and sprinkle the flow ers lightly by the hand with water ; replace it in the soap suds, and it will bloom as fresh as when gathered. The soap suds need changing every three or four days. By observing these nil a boquet may be kept bright and beau' .ul for at least a month, and will last still longer in a very passable state; but attention to the fair creatures, as directed above, must be observed, or all will perish. REFUSE CHARCOAL.—The refuse charcoal obtained from the rectifiers of spirits, from the railroac? where wood is burned in locomotives, from old charcoal beds, etc., is a very useful material in the garden. As a mulching abcut fruit trees I cou.-ider it very valuable. It keeps out frost in Winter; it keeps the soil loose and moist in Summer, and it does not afford a harbor for mice or insects. In the soil it assists to promote moisture j n a dry season; and by its slow decay (for it does decay more rapidly than is generally supposed) it yields carbonic acie gas to plants, and greatly assists in the de composition of vegetable and mineral mat. ter' It is an excellent mulching for straw ocrries. in Winter or Summer. EATING WHILE FATIGUED.—There are very few habits more injurious to health than eating when the body is fatigued. If ibe brain or any part or organ of tbe body becomes unduiy fatigued, the whole system requires rest, until the nervous influence and the circulation of the blood are equalized throughout the body, before another de mand is made upon the vital energies, if tbe stomach is filled without this rest, the food remains undigested, fermeuts and be comes sour, and irritates the stomach, pro during disease of the digestive organs, and through them, of the whole system. CURE FOR EAR ACHE.—Take a small piece of cotton batting or cotton wool, make a depression in the center with the linger, and fill it up with as much ground pepper as will rest on a five cent piece; gather it into a ball and tie it up; dip the ball into >wect oil, and insert it in the ear, covering 'he latter with the cotton wool, and use a bandage or cap to retain it in its place. Al most instant relief will be experienced and the application is so gentle that an infant will not be injured by it, but experience re lief as well as adults. lOR A COLD.—As the season of colds and coughs is at hand, we publish the following; lake a heaped dessert spoonful of flaxseed, put in a pint of water. Cover it, and let it boil to a half pint. If the seeds do not settle to the bottom, poor in a little more hot water, and stir well. Put in a table spoonful of genuine vinegar, and as much Drown sugar as you like, and take after getting into bed. It is a powerful sudorific, sod cuts the phlegm. FOR A COUGH. Roast lemon very cro lully, without burning it; when it is thor oughly hot, cut and squeeze it into a cup, upon three ounces of sugar, finely powdered, lake a spoonful whenever your cough troubles you. It is as good as it is agreeable to the taste. Rarely has it been known to fail of giving relief PLUMIWIT*. SIGNAL for a bark—Polling a dog's tail. How does a cow become a landed estate ?

A GOOD guess at a tailor's name —Mr. So and so. WHY is au ax like coffee ? It must be ground before it can be used. A SPARROW can never be hungry. He takes a hundred flies a day. IN some places out west the grass-hoppers liave destroyed everything but grass widows. QUERY— What remuneration does distance receive for lending enchantment to tbe view? A SCAPEGRACE remarked that the principal branch of education in his school was a wil low branch. WHAT kind of essence does a young man like when he pops the question? Acquies cence. ONE charge in a lawyers' bill againßt a cli ent was. "For waking up in the night and thinking of your business—five dollars." WHEN a man kisses the wrong woman what sort of a weapon should he be dispatched with? A blunderbuss, of course. "SAL," said one girl to another, "I am so glad 1 have no beau now." "Why so?" asktd the other. "Oh! why I can eat as many onions as I please." A DiSTiRiiED individual wonders how a few orgau-grioders can manage to keep up so much music under his window. It is done by ! taking turns. War is a lawyer the most ill-used inau in our social system Because, though he may drive bis carriage, he must draw the con veyance of other people. A very modest young lady who was a pas senger on board a packet ship, it is said sprang out of her berth and jumped over board ou bearing the captain, during a storm order the mate to haul down the sheets. I don't care so much about the bugs, said Mr. Womley to the bead of the genteel, pri vate family in which he resides, but the fact ;s, marm, I havn't got the blood to spare, you see that yourself. A NEGRO in Dawsom, Ga., stole a pair of boots and returned them the same day, say ing his conscience wouldn't let him keep them. They were both for one foot and three sizes to small. "BOBBY, w hat does your father do for a living ?'' "He's a philanthropist, sir." "What?" "A philanthropist. He collects rnouey for Central Africa, and Guilds houses out of the proceeds." SEE here ! exclaimed a returned Irish sol dier to a gaping crowd as he exhibited with some pride his tall hat with a bullet hole in it. Look at that bole, will you? You see if it had been a low crowned hat I should have been killed outright. AN will ye be after telling what kind of a baste ye call this, said a newly arrived Irish man, holding np a wasp between his thumb and finger. "Ocb, murder! Spake quick, for he's bi ting me." A certain cockney, overcome by bis sensi bilities, fainted at the grave of his fourth wife. "What sball we do with him ?" asked a per plexed friend of his. "Let him alone," said a waggish bystander, "he'll SOOD re-wive.,' A farmer near Montreal says no one need tell him that advertising wont cause a big rush, for he advertised ten bushels of grapes for sale, and the next morning there waru't one left, tbe boys stole "em all. A Providence boy, five years of age, having stolen a can of milk, his mother took him to task, with mora! suasion, and wound up her discourse by exclaiming : "What in the world were you going to do with the milk any how" "I was goißg to steal a little dog to drink it," was the crushing reply. As editor out west wants to increase his Subscription list, and makes tbe following proposition : "For two new subscribers, fur nished by any good looking young lady, we will furnish a husband, or if we fail in that, will marry her ourselves as soon as the law wiil allow," "SALLY," said a green youth, in a venera ble white bat and gray pants, through which his legs projected half a foot, perhaps more, "Sally, before we go into this museum to see the sereuaders, I want to ask you somethin'." "Well, you see this 'ere business is gwine to cost a hull quarter apiece, and I can't af ford to spend so much for ncthin. Now, if you'll bev me, darned ef I don't pay the hull on't myself. I will!" A NEWLY arrived bocv-ler at one of our fashionable boarding houses thought be had not sufficient bolstering for his head, and ac cordingly, carried the pillows down to the landlady's room, who inquired what he de sired. The gentleman wanted to know what the articles were which he held in his hand?. "Pillows, you impudent fellow!" screamed the enraged woman. "Oh ! I thought they were pin cushions," replied the disconsolate boarder. A REMINDER.—A lady entered the cars, which were somewhat too full, and a gentle man arose and requested her to take his seat, he remaining standing in the passage way, The lady (?) took the seat, making no sign of gratitude. Gent waited for a few moments, then in nuired: 'What did you say V 'I .did not speak, sir,' said the female in a tone of the most freezing politeness. 'I beg your pardon, madam, but I tbot' you said, "thaok you." A scarlet (lush told the discomfiture of the lady, while the audible titter of tbe near passengers told that the point was keenly relished. FVMA GRAHAM, a notorious woman, died in Detroit on Tuesday, from the effects pf in temperance. The room in which she died was formerly occupied by the wretched wo man as a bar room. On the shelf was a row of bottles labelled "tooth tickler" "sudden dealb, 'lingering illness' 'eye opener,' 'night cap. Over the bar hangs a card, up on which was written : "Since grub has riz, We tend to biz, Aud therefore cannot trust: It takes the stamps To keep a ranch, So pay the cash you must. " A BUFFALO OBJECTIONABLE.—A verdant Englishman, stopping in at the Brevoort the other day, who never took a sleigh-ride iu this country, or any other perhaps, went to the stables of the hotel for *'a nice thing, you know—something dasby," Dd the proprietor ordered the hostler to give the gentleman "a new cutter, with the bay mare and a large buffalo." "Ob, no, none of that now, my dear fellah. None of your American jokes on me, you know. I'm not much used to that sort of thing, you nee. I know you're a strange set of people out here. But never mind the buf falo. Just leave that hanimal out, and give me an 'orse by 'imself. He'll answer. Keep your biamed buffalo for one of your own Yan kees."
