THE CROWN OF FLOWER 4.
It was a busy day with the florist. His
counters were tilled with flowers awl all hands
were at work making bouquets, crosses,
wreaths, and filling b skets. The florist.
Karl Breitmann, was nt work himself, super
intending ; even his wife was pret•sed Into ser
vice, and was making a bridal bouquet of
fragrant orange blossoms. i're ently a ear-
Huge stopped and a tall elegantly dressed
young lady came into the shop. Karl stepped
forward to take her order.
" I wish to leave an order for a crown of
white floWera for a funeral to morrow morn•
ing," she odd.
"I am so sorry, madam, hut as madam sees
we are so busy. A wedding tonight, a rune.
rat to-morrow, hall a dozen panics, and so
many baskets ordered—ft is quite Impossible,"
answered the little German, politely.
The young lady look d disappointed, but as
she turned to, go, Mrs. Breitmann stopped
her.
"I will see to It, miss, that your order Is
filled. Only leave it with me. He's so busy,"
pointing at her husband.
To speak truthfully Mrs. Breltmann was a
ntte Tly soil and could not bear the thought of
losing the prospective money, for she saw by
the carriage at the door, and the young lady's
appitrance that thls was a wealthy customer.
'• Thank you," said the lady. "It is kind
of you. I want a clown of pure white flowers.
no tuberoses or camelias, but all roses and
fine white flowers."
"That will come very expensive, miss,"
observed the florist's wife, anticipating the
ready answer—" Never minri expense. I
want it just a', and as handsome as you can
make it."
" Perhaps a little cross of violets on the top
would suit you, we make many so," sugges
ted l re. Breitniann, her eyes sparkling as the
lady assenttd, for violets were Just coming
into season, and very expensive.
" Yes, that will look well. Here is my
card which you must tie on It, and shall I
write the addr ss.2" Being supplied with a
card for that purpose, she drew off her glove,
displaying a shapely white hand, on which
glittered di, moods, and wrote the name and
address.
"The funeral is to.morrow at ten, and I
shall expect this to be very haadsbme. Mind,
I shall he there and see it."
" Yek, miss," replied Mrs. Breitmann,
glancing at the book. " Oh, in Thirty-flfth
street I I thought, maybe, it was for Mrs. Wil•
lis' funeral ; that is tomorrow morning and
we have .a large order for that."
"Yes," rejoined the kdy, drawing on her
glove, as she careleroly looked, " I ece.you are
very busy. Good after Atoll."
"Good afiernoon,Miss. Shall I send you the
bill ?" inquired Mts. Breitmann, following the
young lady to the door
" No ; I will call and pay you."
Then, as she went out and got, Into the car
riage, tit florist's wife heard her order the
coachman to drive to No.—Fifth avenue ;and
as sire went back to her work of arranging the
ttmers, she picked up the card, saylng—" I
wonder who she is." On the pasteboard she
read in old English letters the name, " Mary
Lester, Fitth avenue."
" Ha, Karl," she called, " I have gained a
customer. One who does not care for ex
muse."
"Thou wilt have to arrange the flowers
thyself, Marine," answered he, crossly. 'We
will beup half the night before." Kutrine
nodded. When the bridal bouquet was die.
posed of and her husband had gone of& to easy,
p•rintend the floral decorations of the church
where the marriage was to be, she began to
make the crown. "Life and death - l" she
muttered, as her deft Angers wove the creamy
rosy s with the snow white ones, arranged the
odorous sprays of lilies with feathery dentzia.
Brides and corpses I We florists deck them
both, and flowers serve for one as well as for
another." Then she fell to thinking of the
lady, Mrs. Willis, who was to be buried to
morrow. "Four crosses, six wreathes, a
crown, and loose flowers," said she to her
self. "He loved her well. Its not two years
since I made her bridal bouquet. Dear heart.
I wish to-night's bride a longer life." When
the cross of violets was made, surmounting
the crown, Mrs. Breitmann surveyed her
handiwork with true artistic pleasure. It
was berintiful indeed. The absence ot the
stiff Japonicas and heavy tuberoses gave it less
ot n funeral look and more the semblance ofa
heavenly crown. After tying Miss Lester's
card on, her work was complete, and she had
time to assist with the other crosses.
'lt was with a sigh of relief tuft Miss Lester
threw herself back in thecoupe beside a portly
nudron in black velvet. "Olt, mamma," es
claimed she, " I do hate this unr, at, foolish
faslibm of sending flowers to dead people.
They haven large order fora Mrs. Willis' fune
ral there at the florists. and our flowers might
Just as well go to her as to Cousin Marianne's.
We didn't know George; we mint know Mrs.
Wink."
"No,love," replied Mrs. Lester. "But it Is
ex peeted pf us in one case and not in the other,
and Marianne would he hurt and vexed, if we
sent no II were for her husband's funeral, and
althointh I deprecate the custom as much as you
still it is as well to do as all the world does "
"The world shall never lay down laws for
me," said Mary,energetically. "I think for a
friend to strew flowers on the person of a
loved one 4( lio has gone, is beautiful; but,oh,
tWs reduction or 'poetical sentiment to lash
ion's edicts," and she smote her little palms
together so violently as to make her mother
start.
"Don't do that, Mary. It Is not ladylike.
Tell me, did you order the crown made as I
desir.al ?" Then they drifted off into a con
velsation upon the quality, styli and price of
flowers. "Making up orders for Mrs. Willis'
funeral," observed Mrs. Lester at last. `• I
wonder if that is Clara Spencer who was mar.
tied about two years ago to Willard Willis.
You have seen them at church, Mary? Their
pow is three ahead of ours."
"Yes,l remember,"answered Mary,thought,
fully. She spoke little on their way home,and
was rallied by her mother for her absent air.
I was thinking," said she, bri. fly. She did
not like to say that her thoughts were full
that tall handsome man, with his little blond,
wife, who had sat just before them In church.
Sunday after Sunday , Mary had seen them to•
get leer, and she was wondering If he had loved
her much ; if he grieved sorely for the lost.
How sorely Mary did not know.
Williard Willis was bowed in grief for the
loss of his wile, his little Clara. Ile felt keenly,
too, now that she was gone,thal be bad treated
her too much like a child, had been often im
patient with her waywardness. Now that
!Milli had laid his cold seal upon her, all her
faults were forgotten, and only the winning,
loving ways remembered which had so won
•
his •wart before marriage. •
It was the morning of the funeral. The air
was heavy with the scent of flowers. His els.
ter, Mrs. Carr, was arranging the floral devices
about the fair marble figure In its last resting
Once. "flow many beautiful floe era there
e!" said she, through her sobs, to some of
the other relatives. tt Look, Sarah, what a
lovely cross James Ilubbel has sent her. You
know people said he wanted to marry her.
And Cis crown—l never did see anybody so
beautiful I Look I all roses, and none of those
horrid Japonicas. Sec these violets In the lit.
lie cross.
" It Is handsome," skid Helen Willard,
lumina th'e card over. "Mary Lester; who Is
she. Sarah?"
Sundt Spencer the stater of the departed one
shook her head. " I never heard Clara speak
of her."
• She ought to be either a very Intimate friend
or relative, to send anything so handsome as
this. It never cost less than forty dollars.•
I'll ask Willard," said Mrs. Carr, starting
forward with the crown In her hands.
Helen pulled her therm " Not now. It is
most time for the funeral to begin, and he feels
so bad, and I wouldn't if I were you."
" Well I'll put it aside, and after the service
I can ask him. Here comes the Bishop?" and
up weitt Mrs. Carr's handkerchief to her eyes
as she sailed forward•in her new mourning to
meet the venerable prelate.
. ' When the last sad rites were over, 'Willard
Willis returned mournfully alone. The first
thing he saw was the crown standing upon
the mantel where his sister had . placed it'. 'All
his loss rushed over him at the sight of It and
Knitting tears filled hie eyes. Who can -- de:
spice his weakness ? None that have known
grief such as death brings!
Willard found his once pleasant, cheerful
home now so lonely and msolate without its
presiding genius that he could no longer Mal
it, and about six weeks after his wife's death
lie left for Europe, seeking oblivion and cute
solution,ln new scenes of interest. At first lit
grieved meth, but his wife had been really
childish, Moliali and frivolous. Ills greater in
tellent waa csuglit by her extreme beauty and
winning ways, but these charms were begin•
fling to imitMlieir power before her death and
he telt neiwja sort of freedom for which ht
eftem-repronched himself. Alter a year ofab
belles he returned to. America and reopened his
house. Mrs. Carr bad kindly consented ti
take charge of it for him, but The offer bad
been declined. One day,
,as tie entered the
long unused and darkened parlors, he saw on
the mantel the wire framework- of the once
fresh and lovely crown, with faded flowers
hanging from it. Detaching the card, ho rang
for the maid to remove it, and he stood by the
window, in the flood of sunshine he had just
'let in, watching her. Bite was shocked.
"To think of dear misses only ono a year,
and he ordering that crown, which aho was
sure he had been keepin' as a souveney, away
to the ash-heap I" Willard was trying to
analyze his feelings. Were they grief or re
gret or relief? Which was uppermost he
could not tell. Then he glanced at the bit of
pasteboard he was laying with, an I read—
" Mary Lester." At once he remembered his
sister writing to him of the mystery attached
to the crown he had just ordered away, how
neither his wife's family nor his knew how
very singular it was fo , a 'jr ung lady to send
a widower funeral flowers for his wife I Yes,
he was a widower I He smiled, and looked
in the long mirror. The title had been asso
ciated in his mind with gray hairs and old
age, and be saw the reflection of a man still
young and handsome.
His reverie was interrupted by Mrs. Carr.
"Oh Willard, I ant glad you aro at home I
Now, do be a good brother and take Helen to
Airs. Rubbers party this evening. I cannot
go and she has set her heart on it. Don't dis•
appoint the child. Oh, I know you are In
mourning," (seeing him glance at hls dress),
" but Clara has been dead over a year now.
Sarah Spencer Is going, and she was Clara's
own sister. Don't disappoint poor little
Helen."
Willard was just going to say "no"—the
word was trembling on his lips, when Helen
herself came running In the parlor, and looked
up appealingly at her brother, with tears in
her eyes. He could not refuse his favorite little
sister, and promised he would go, although he
feared he would feel out of place in a gay as
sembly. But when, once more clad In even
ing dress, with his pretty sister on his arm, he
entered Mrs. Hubbel's parlors, and met with
gentle greetings on every side, he felt as if he
were again in his own element,
After supper, as he was leaning against the
parlor door watching the mazes of the Ger
man, his hostess captured him, saying—" Mr.
Willis, I am going to introduce you to a love
ly young friend ot mine who does not dance,"
and leading him t t a lady In pink, she. pro
nounced the cabalistic words—" Mr. Willis,
allow me to present you to Miss —" Thu
name was lost In the crash of the band.
Willard gave her his arm and led her to a
❑e reception-room on the other side of the
hall. "Here at last we can talk without
eplitttng our throats in trying to overtop the
hand," said he; and talk they did until He.
len, a most exhaustless dancer, came for her
brother to take her home.
Willard had found tue young lady a most de
lightful conversationallet, witty, piquante, in
tellectual and original; and could hardly be•
lieve they had been talking two hours, until
convinced by his own watch.
The next Sunday, Willard Joined his new
acquaintance coming out of church, and, ac
companying her imm^.,received an invitation
to call, which he availed himself of very soon.
1k discovered her name to be . Miss Lester,
and anon found himsellindentifying her with
the lady who had sent the crown. One even
ing, hearing her mother call her Mary, these
suspicions grew stronger, when he compared
the address on the card In his posesslon with
her residence.
Ile found Miss Lester occupying a large
share of his thoughts. If ho was pleased with
a book, she must read It, and straightway a
sopy was sent her, and her opinion asked on
all subjects; no plan was undertaken
without her approbation ; and as Willard
knew all tee symptom, he soon knew be was
in love, deeply in love with Mary Lester.
"It is all those flowers I" thought he. "If
she had never sent them, I would never have
thought of her again after our casual meeting;
but i wonder—" Then he asked himself
for the thousandth time—" Why did she send
me that crown ?" Finally he concluded to
-ask her, which was, after all the wisest plan.
"To his great disappointment. she denied-all
knowledge of it ; but when convinced by her
card, she recollected sending. a crown to her
cousin Marianne on her husband's funeral.
"It was some fearful mistake of the florist,"
said she at length. ' Oh, Mr. Willis, what
must you thought me capable of I Setting my
cap at you the moment you were available I"
and she buried her face, suffused with blush
es, in her hands.
"To speak truly,l did not put that construc
tion on it, but it does look like It. Oh, Mary,
how could you do it I And I, a pour, help
lees Innocent man, have walked right into
your snare, for you have caught me. Mary,
my darling, I love you truly." taking her
hands dow4. "Don't hide your pretty face,
or If you must, hido it here," drawing her
bead to hie Shoulder.
Need the reek be told. Mrs. Willis No. 2
thinks widowers very bold wooers, but her
husband says she encouraged him at first,
before he ever dreamed of marrying again,
and this is the only rock on which this happy
couple split. And In their happiness the dead
is not forgotten, for a pretty rose-cheeked lit
tle girl bears the name of Clara Specer.—(N.

A Henry Law-Stilt—Governor Geary Finer
for n few Million.
The Harrisburg . Patriot says: Governor
Geary Is at present occupied by some heavy
litigation in the courts of California which, If
it result favorably, will make him one of the
millionaires of the land. When he was alcal
de of the town of San Francisco he was at the
same time extensively engaged In land and
financial speculations It was not an uncom
mon thing for monied men in California in
that early day to.•loan money at such elm
moos rates that a moderate sum ii prudently
invested rapidly accumulated the richest re-
turns. Governor Geary in one Instance in•
vested a considerable sum at the rate of five
per cent. a month. It is to recover this luau
that he has brought suit. The San Francisco
Ereminer, in its court reports, thus notices
this important case: A case was commenced
in the Fourth district court yesterday that il
lustrates the high rate of interest paid in early
times. It is the suit of John W. Cleary, tor.
mercy nicalde of San Francisco, now Gover
nor of Pennsylvania, to recover nearly a mil
lion dollars from the estate of Sitnmons.,
Hutchinson Sz Co. The amount loaned on Au
gust 11. 1850, was $62,000 bearing.intereet at
live per cent. per month: The firm tailed in
September, 1850, but Qeary,after gettingjudg
meet, could find no property. He now brings
suit against the assignees of the firm to en
join them from making any conveyances of
properly of the firm they still retain. At com
pound interest, which was generally the rule
in early time, this I^an would have nearly
equalled our national debt.
Very M uch Pivoted With It
Judge 8., a good Democrat, a good Judge,
and a conscientious man, was holding court
in one of the prairie counties of Ohio Just ba.
fore the October election.
There was a great rush of doubtful claim
ants to citizenship, and the Judge had decided
to check it.
From this decision Barney Mulligan, a swift
witness' for these mut ryo voters, dissented,
" for a ravioli he Lad."
Judge, (to Barney.)—" Do you know of
your own knowledge, that this applicant,
Brian O'Toole, Is attached to the prineiplesof
the Constitution 01 the United States?"
Barney, (very decidedly)—" Yla, yer
or, he la."

"Has he ever read the Conatitu
Barney, (a little dovicast.)—:
sir "
Judge—" Can he read at all?"
Barney, (brightening up.)—" Can't read at
all, your honor, and in courea he'll always
vote the dire—vote right, air." •
Judge.—"l think it will do Brian no harm
to wait until the next term ; Sheriff adjourn
court till 2 o'clock."
Barney was not to be beat in that way. lle
planted Brian in a lence curler, aiuck a-reil
in front of him lbr a table, and laid on it a
oorrowed law•book, from which be read In a
rich brogue "the Constitution," from begin.
ning to end, and then waited for 2 o'clock.
soon as the crier had proclaimed "O
yes I oyes I" etc., Barney rushed to the bar
with his client.

"Judge I yer honor I I've read the Constitu
tion to Brian out an' out, and he's very much

We are told that " a respectable young lady
of Pittsburgh" has been found to have pur•
kilned some two hundred volumes from verb
ous libraries In that city.and sold them at book
stores. 'fflie may be a " respectable young
lady" for Pittsburgh, but hereabouts the steal
ing of books does not generally command re
+pect. Of course, as the respectable young
tally's father was wealthy and paid for the
uouks, the matter was hushed ,up. It is a
curios fact that poor people are never afflicted
with kleptomania, though they are much given
to stealing.

" Drifting," which was written after the poet's
return from Naples and Vesuvius :
My soul to.day is far away

My winged boat, like a bird afloat,
Swims round the purple peak remote
Round purple peaks it sails, and

Where high rocks throw, through deeps below,
A duplicated golden glow.
Far, vague, and dim the mountains swim ;
While on Vesuvius' misty brim,
With outstretched hands, the gray smoke stands
(Verb:tot:leg the volcanic lands.
Here Ischia smiles o'er liquid miles ;
And yonder, bluest of the isles,

Beguiling to her bright estates.
I heed not if my rippling skiff
Float swift or slow from cliff to cliff;
With dreamfal eyes my spirit lies
Under the walls of Paradise.
Under the walls where swells and fans
The Bay's deep breast at Intervals
At peace I Ile, blown softly by,
A cloud upoa this liquid sky.
The day, so mild, 'e Heaven's own child,
With Earth and Ocean reconciled ;
Tbo airs I feel around me steal

Over the rail my hand I trail
Within the shadow of the Pall,
A Joy !mem, the cooling settee
Glides down my drowsy Indolence.

GOOD ON BUTLER.
A rather amusing story is in circulation at
the expense of the eminent gentleman from
Massachusetts. At the President's levee the
other night, which was densely crowded, an
old lady from„the interior somewhere, In a
fainting condition requested her husband to
get her an Ice.
"Can't be did," responded her• husband In
tome irritation ; " there ain't no refreshments
here."
" Don't believe it. Didn't we getplenty at
Belknap's the other night 1" the good woman
said angrily, " now go and get me an ice and
a lemonade."
" I tell you cow don't be a fOol ; there ain't
no refreshments, everybody says so," grunted
the lord and master.
" You are quite mistaken, sir," said the
Mon. S. S. Cox, who happened to be near,
and who never loses an opportunity to put in
a Joke. " The President always provides
substantially. There is the butler, whose
business it is to show ladies to the supper
room," and the Hon. jester polntrod to Gen.
Butler. "You'll find him a little stuck up,
but you must not mind that ; tell him to get
you some terrapins."
This was said so gravely that the two
struggled through the crowd to where Gen.
Butler stood talking to some ladies.
" I say, mister, I am told you are the but
ler," said the man.
" I'm Gen. Butler," replied that gentleman
pleasantly, thinking the two country people
were filled with admiration for his greatness.
"I don't care Whether you are general but.
ler or not, but my wife wants some terrapins
and lemonade."
" Sir I" roared Gen. B. in amazement and
disgust.
" Oh, don't take on airs, old cock. Come
now, hurry up them terrapins."
" You must he drunk, sir ; you must be
drunk I" thundered Mr. 13.
"No he ain't," screamed his wife. " He's
a Knight Templar ; he ain't a bit drunk, but
I guess you sir."
boars of laughter greeted this, In which 8.
S. Cox was kneed to join. Gen. Butler, red
dened In the laceand began pumug his cheeks
out In a most violent manner.
" I don't understand this extraordinary con
duct. What do you want, sir—what do you
want?"
"Terrapins, I tell you."
"What do you take me tor, you cursed foOl?"
roared Benjamin.
" You call me a cussed fool and I'll belt von
over the snout, you sgaint•eyed pauper I"
At this juncture an officer of the police seized
the belligerent husband and led him away,aruld
great laughter. Butler, turning suddenly,saw
to the mischief maker.
" I say, Co:, did you do that ?"
" Well, yes, I'm afraid I did."
"Well, I owe you the terrapins, and I'll pay
yon, mind that."
And the two walked lovingly away.

COURTING BY COURT PLASTER.
Every one knows what a sweet quietude
belongs to the pretty country houses and vii.
las that are scattered 'along the banks of the
Delaware. It was in one of these that a pret
ty little romance was enacted, and the whole
matter turns, strangely as it may seem, upon
a bit of English court plaster.
At the villa spoken of, a fairy spot situated
near Burlington, with old geometric walks,
long shady alleys, and plenty of lovers' re
treats, with Its most Electable defeuners at 12,
there was staying during the autumn of last
year, a widow—young, pretty and rich. Buch
widows do not escape notice in the shadiest
of walks, nor In the most lonesome of country
houses. Mrs. M was the life of the
place, and not one of the many visitors and
lcnging hnngerson had reached, up to late
autumn, the conquest of the widow's heart.
But there came one day a certain Robert
R—, young, witty, and bolding a prominent
position at the Philadelphia bar. He had heard
of the guests at the villa, and being acquainted
with the hostess, had accepted her Invitation,
and in a short time he showed the fair widow
such proofs of his devotion, as to eclipse all
the wooers who had gone before. If she rode,
he was her cavalier ; If she strolled s in the
grounds that surrounded the villa, ho, was the
most eager listener to her prattle, and paid
the swiftest tribute to her charms.
. .
In short, he won upon her heart to such a
degree, that she listened kindly to the ten
ducat of his speeches, and made such a hesi
tating promise of returning tenderness, as if
she were yet a maid, and not a widow. On
one point, however, she insisted—she was to
enjoy undisturbed, and subject to no rumor
of engagement, the coming winter in the capi
tal. She was determined to experience at least
one foil winter of Washington widowhood.
Bob R urged his suit more vigorously,
but to no avail. She promised faithfully to be
his at the end of the season, provided he
guarded his intentions during the interval,
and made no mention of their compact—for
it is well understood that a lady known to be
" engaged t " receives but little attention.
Robert R---, with the fervor of his love in
him, and with a better knowledge of the sad
and bewildering gaieties of Washington life,
thrn belonged to the charming Mrs. M—,
was naturally anxious in regard to the issue
of such a scheme.
However, for some days, the secret was
well kept. The company at the villa was
fairly in the dark, the widow was look
ing forward to a brilliant winter, and Rob
ert It—was chewing the cud of somewhat
perplexed reflections. Weeks slipped on,
and the party was about breaking up, to re
turn to their respective homes, when the com
pany remarked, upon the lip of the lawyer,
one morning, a small strip of court planter,
which was the more striking as he wore no
moustache. In a country villa the smallest
event becomes a matter of talk, and the com
pany bantered the young lawyer upon his de
corated lip.
The lawyer very) ndlfferently replied that
he had cut his lip in shaving.
This seemed fair enough, and Mr. R—
wore his mark through the day. The even•
leg was a bright autumnul one, and disposed
the company to a stroll after supper, through
the graceful walks which we described as be
longing to the villa. Nothing can bo more
delightful. There is such a mellowing of the
evening air under the autumn leaves, and
mit retired arbors, where we can chat with
a charming friend—the very place, one would
say, for the safe Indulgence of such a contract
as existed between the widow and the law
yer.
One by one, however, as the evening ad
vanced, the parties strolled back to the parlor.
Robert appeared with his lip bare, and
not a trace of the mot ning'S wound could be
seen.
Presently appeared the charming Mrs. M—,
entering with something more than her usual
dignity, very brilliant and beautiful, as usual,
save only that a single black spot was observ
able on the left cheek, very near the lip.
The company were naturally curious, and
a glance at the face of the barrister, free now
from Its decoration of the morning, seemed
to throw light upon the subject. A second
and closer look confirmed it ; there could be
no doubt that the court-plaster, which in the
morning had clung to the lip of the lawyer,
was now adhering to the pretty cheek of Mrs.
M —. But how ?
It was easy for the ladles to guess. Natural.
ly enough there followed a series of whispers
and stilled laughs, that greatly Irritated the
pretty widow, who was still wholly uncon

she Insisted very passionately upon knowing
the secret of their amusement. The question
was very embarrassing, but wary Mr. R—,
seeing at a glance how matters stood, made a
'bold venture in. behalf of the di3concerted
belle.

the honor of announcing Wynn my approach.

" What are you saying ?" exclaimed the
pretty widow ; "you have no authority for
such a statement."
" But why keep the secret any longer? Let
me announce my great happiness, and say,
further, that you only just now accorded me
a kiss In pledge of our betrothal."
" How dare you, air ?" exclaimed the pro
voked lady.
Mr. It—, taking Mrs. M—'s band, led
her betide the mirror, and whispered In her
ear, "You see I" , •
She looked—there is no escape. Engage
ment or no engagement, a klia In the garden
would mar her winter's coquetries. The safest
way was the easiest. Her betrothal was ac

Horace Greeley writes to one of his admir
ers as follows : Now Is the proper time to graft
axle trees, especially for those varieties for Im
mediate use, on trucks and heavy wagons.
Double-trees for light carriages, and the fancy
kinds suitable for trotting wagons, sulkies,
&c., will do well If not grafted until a month
later,ow log much to the size required, Striped
ono gold-leafed single-trees, though not so
hardy, are generally a paying crop,and require
little manure, though great care should be used
in selecting the scions and in doing the work.
All crack and checks should bo putted, sand
papered, and covered well with varnish. If
these days of cheap grafting, I would not ad
vise you to try raising from seed, as the pro
cess Is too tedious. I tried it some years since,
plowed deep, planted carefully, with plenty on
manure, but the growth was so slow that I de
cided on grafting, with the best results.
A German physician has lately started the
theory that the fearful disease known as small
pox, originates from an excess of albuminous
matter In the blood, and that this is to be
prevented by the administration Of common
