The Color of Flowers Promoted
by Charcoal.
• A French,ainatetir in ths Paris 11Orticultn

them to blooni, - and I expected roses wotthv
of such a noble plant, and of the praise- be.
;stowed upon it by the vender.. At length,
when it bloomed, all my hopes ward blasted.
The flowers were of a faded' color, and I dis.
covered that 1 had only a middling maftifio
ra, stale colored-enough. I, therefore, resolv
ed to sacrifice it to some experiments which
I had in view,' My attention hakbeen cap
tivated,with the 'effects of charcoal, 'as staled
in - some Rngli,ll publications. ythen- cover,
ed the earth (in the pot in which my ruse
bush was) about half an inch deap, with pul
verized charcoal. Some days after, I was as

as fine a lively rose color as I could wisb.• I
determined to repeat the experiment; and,
therefore, when the rose-bush had done flow
ering, 1 took of the charcoal, 'rind put, fresh
earth, in the pot. You - ,may conceive that I'
warted for tlie'next spring impatiently-to see
the result of this experiment. When it tilootn
ed, the roses were as at first, pale and iliscol•
ored,but by applying the chrpcoal, as-be
fore, they soon resutfied their rose-red cotor.
I tried the powdered' Charcoal,' likewize, in
large 'quantities upon my petunias,, and found
tliAt both the white and the. violet flowers
were eqUally sensible to its action. - It 'always
gave great vigor to the red or Violet colors
Orate flowers, and,the white - petunias-became
veined with red or violet tints. The violets
(colors) becanie covered with irregular spots
of a blueish or almost black tint.. ;Many per

were new varieties from - seed. Yellow flowers

"Ir is as - . white-as milk, sir !" exclaimed
one of, the . men, 'rushing into the cabin in
high state of excitement.
What is white as,milk f" nsked.the cap;
tain, who, together With the chief mate, stood
with - cotnpaasin hand, pouring over:a chart
that.lay spread nut upon the table:
The water along side, sir: I thinis we
must be shoaling; very rapidly. • -
":And we must go . over it?" said the mate
-• • • .
" Yes, or lay our banes- upon it," responded
the captain. "Bat - cOme; let us.go on_deck.
'lt is "useless looking at the chart any. longer;
we know. Our position only too welt."
- .Ascending the edinpaaion-ladder, the sal,-
or's statement_ was verified,' the water all
around presented that, peculiar appearance
indicates a sandy bottom at 'lno great
depth; while' the ship, under a !cloird of
CODVAS., was flying throtigh the •foam with
the speed of-a racer. The crew was' grouped
about the deck with anxious faces-as they
looked ahead, where at a distance of less
than three miles, a heavy frigate with the ,
blood red cross Of St. George' at her Peak
teas steadily and relentlessly pursuing, likei
blnoa-hound the r "trail.
"I think she has gained upon . us Slightly.
since we wentsbelow, Mr; Midships,'Said the
eaptaioolddressing his first mate.
" I think•she has somewhat; but not so
much but that we might keep. out of her
way'until night, when we d easily dodge
her in the dark, if it were not for this, con
founded bank,"• returned the mate -with an
anxious look ahead.. "I never crossed this
shoal but once; and then, although we
were in a light schnotier, - drawing less than
half the water we do now, it 'was a narrow
escape for us. It is my opinion that we.
must strike before we are half way over." •
" Well," replied the captain, with an air
of fixed determination, "if. we must:-strike
there will. be an end of. it. The .only alter
native into surrenderto an Englishman; and
then comes the piisonship, starvation, disease
anediath. By:running there is a ehance,
and Lsballarust to that chance - sooner than
surrender. ' . • -
" They are going to fry the range of - their
.bowcbasers, I reckon," said the mate; dWct'-
ing the captain's attention astern. •• ;
A slight commotion was observable Upon
the frigate's forecastle • the muzzle '
o 1 a gun
protruded from her b ridle pat; a cloud.- of
thick white smoke shot in o circling, ring
from the knight-heads, . and rolled up against
the belly
_of the foresail, Theorist instant
the report was borne down upon the witik
and a. round shot canto' skipping offer -the
waves, ;and passed within a dozen fathoms to
the leeward. ; .
' With a Jittie biter aim, the:r ironsmigbt

.
" Yes;'it might, but: we have vary little to
fear.on that score;- they will scarcely deaden
:their head way' by 6riog at that distance.- The
only anietY . l feel, is in regard 'to this' hank.
Just step . helow;if you Nease,Vr. lilidships,

with the'llreere then blowing, it wotild have

'Uteri-wail, great danger of the sails hloi%ing

At the p ord the men swayed do*n upon

urged on by the evident necessity of the case,
bent strongly tothe Work, and the fluttering
sail was at length . hoisted to the 6loek.of
the topsaiyyard arm, where - it hungislatting
, and Tlappmg; threa:enifig every mOment to

The tack- was now taken - to th&capi.trin

its -continued existence seemed leas than a
miracle. Coutrary to the reasonable-expecta

straining was at length drawn slOwly out to
the rail, and the huge sail, new fairly steadied
in its pla le , drew , strongly in the rising gale.
Tho g_ood ship, feeling the increase of can

pacing fo i e and aft on-the guarter-dick.

"Nut hist enough," said the Captain. " We
must kooek fourteen or fifteen out of her, or

"Very-well, sirr replied the mate: : 1' But
