Al {OTUER YEAR

——

nother > year, another year, Oh, who ‘shall seé another year ! Shalt tou, old man of hoary head, Of eyesight dim, and feeble tread ! Expect it pot! time, pain and grief, Have made thee like the autumn leaf, Ready, by blast or self-decay,

From its slight hold to drop away And some sad morn may gild thy bier Long, long before another year !

Another year, another year,

Oh, who shall see another year? | Shall you, the young! or you the fam? Ah ! the presumptuous thought forbear ! Within this churchyard’s peaceful bounds, Come, pause and ponder oer the mounds !

Here beauty sleeps—that verdant length {~° for sale by

Of grave contains what once was strength ; The child—the boy—the man are here ;

You may not see another year !

Another year, another year,

Oh, who shall see another year !

Shall I, whose burning thirst of fame No earthly power can quench or tame t Alas ! that burning thirst may soon

Be o’er, and all beneath the moon-

All my fine visions, fancy-wrought, And_all this vortex whirl of theught, Forever cease and disappear,

Ere dawns on earth another year!

ULTURE OF HOUSE PLANTS.

_—_——-—

A warm room, good soil or compost,

‘and fair attention, will always hasten

the growth of plants; but it must be remembered that the faster a plant grows, the wider apart are its leaves, and the more spindling its general ap- pearance, both in stem and lateral branches. The skill of the gardner is shown in producing a plant in its full- est perfection of form, both in stem and foliage; and when leaves and flowers, which ought to be near enough together to be covered with a half-peck measure, are spread to the size of a bushel, a slant cannot be expected to take a prize.

lower growth is obtained by lowering the temperature of the room at night, where there is no danger of frost, shut- ting out furnace heat, and opening doors. All the fresh air possible, and care not to give too much water, will promote a slow growth and perfection vt torm.

Water should not stand in the sauc- ers of any plants save calla lilies and lobelias. A good liquid fertilizer, which has no offensive smell, and which is not disagreeable for in-door use, may be prepared as follows :—Dissolve two ounces of carbonate of ammonia (com- mon smelling salts) in a pint of water, and then drop in sulphuric acid (oil of vitro!) until all effervesence or bubb- ling ceases. A tablespoonful of the so- lution of sulphate of ammonia, mixed with one gallon of warm water, is a most efficacious liquid manure, and not at all disagreeable to use in any parlour or chamber. It should be applied at first once a week, then every four or five days.

Plants feed chiefly on matter taken up with water from the soil. As fast as the moisture evaporates from the leaves, a new supply is taken up by the roots. If the soil in a flower-pot re- mains moist for an unusual length of time, it is a sign that the roots do not take up the water readily, or that the soil is not loose enough, or at any rate that something is the matter. A soil, therefore, that does not dry fast, does not contain enough air, soon becomes unfit for healthy plant action, and drooping leaves and branches soon appear.

Plants with a free and vigorous growth, and plenty of roots, will take up almost all the moisture that can be given them ina moderately small pot ; but, as a general rule, the hole in the bottom of the pot cannot be dispensed with, its draining powers helping to keep up a healthful circulation and succession of water and air through the soil and among the roots.

CABBAGE FOR FOWLS.

At this season of the year, when the natural supply of grass and other green food is cut off, fowls need a daily meal of some sort of green food, What it is does not appear to be of so such mo- ment, provided they get something. We have tried mangolds, and turnips and cabbages, all with good results; but of the three, cabbages decidedly are the most valuable. We cut them up into pretty fine pieces at about the rate of a cabbage to fifteen fowls, and in a short time not a scrap is left Hens thus fed pay by an increased supply of eggs much more than the extra cost of tood.

A lawyer went into a barber’s shop to procure a wig. In taking the dimensions of the lawyer's head, the barber exclaimed :

“Why, how long your head is, sir ”

“Yes,” replied the legal gentleman, “we, lawyers, must have long heads.”

The barber proceeded about his vo- cation, but at length exclaimed :

“Why, sir, your head is as thick aa/

it is long!”

CAPSICUM OUSH p i.

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the

Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been eaused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

Dr. MELVIN’s CapsicuM Porovs PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physiciansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as @ medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- sagee ina porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters or liniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and

ou wapta certain cure, ask your druggist for

R. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM PorRoUSs PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and en in its action, you can rely on its safety ‘or the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for DR. MELVIN’s CAPSI- cuM Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
