His obser- vations were limited to three hens and three ducks, all fine animals; hatched at the Bame time in the month of Febmary. During th e following autumn th e ducks laid tw o hundred and twenty-five eggs ; they re-commenced laying in February, and continued to do so until the middle of] August.

Those transplanted du- ring th e daylight shed their blossoms, producing little on n o fruit j while those planted duing the darker portion main- tained their condition fully. He did the same with ten dwarf pear trees, after the frnit was one third grown. Those trans planted during the day shed their fruit j those transplanted during the night per- fected their crop and showed n o injury from having been removed. With each of these trees he removed some earth with the roots.

The home whore we received our birth, The hearth, by which we sat, No other spot on all the earth Will ever be llko that. Wben winter coming in its wrath Piled high the drifting snow, Safe clustered round the cheerful hearth, We watched the firelight glow ; Nor brighter seemed the ruddy flames, Than did our hearts, the while A loving mother breathed our names With sweet, approving smile. When wearied with our eager chase Through many a tangled path, How sweet the dear, accustomed place To take around the hearth; And still when by our toll and care \^;We leel ourselves oppressed, Our thoughts.forever cluster there, And there alone find rest. Bright promise of the rest above, Sweet shelter from tho storm, Home, hallowed by a mother's love, Hearth by that love made warm ; Though wildly rolled tho s'orm without, What recked we of the cold, What place for any fear ol doubt Within that leving fold ? And when some little trouble weighed Upon the childish heart, Till trom. pur brimming eyes it made The gus'hing teardrops start, How quick before that gonial glow, We lelt each sorrow cease, And back the crystal current flow, To flood our hearts with peace. And blighter with the passing years Seems childhood's sweet employ, And even sweeter still appears Each well remembered jny j gJAround the cheerful hearth at home, Where we in childhood sat, No other spot, where'er we roam, Will ever be like that. so, Baw Mtrt PMlNttg.- FEMININE Dn'I.OMACV. It was the grandest party of the season. Invitations had been sent to all the country folks within ten miles round. The occasion was Elsie Grofton's twentieth birthday—the only daughter of Squire John Grofton, county judge, and a man of no small influence. He was a hale, hearty gentleman of fifty, or thereabouts —looking perhaps, a trifle older than lie really was—a well-educated, refined and exceedingly just man, outside of his own household. For successive generations, the Grof- tona hnd married and intermarried,, thus keeping the property, which was immense, in the hands ot the Qroftons. The judge, although eminently sensible in other re- spects, and a sound ethical Boholar and reasoner, could not, apparently, be brought lo-see that thio constant blending o( sim- ilar blood WUB totally oppoied to every natural and scientific ptinciple. The old squire could \not be convinced; and Elsie, very much against her will, had been, for two years preceding tbe open- ing of this story, betrothed to her own cousin, Charles Grofton. Elsie, to adopt her own vernacular, \couldn't bear him in her sight.\ And it was hard to tell whether Charles was in love with his pretty couBin or really, like all the male members of the Groftons, more infatuated with the bank stock and real estate lvhich was to bp Elsie's portion, if sho acted according to orders. At all events, the expectant bridegroom was possessed of little energy, and less common sense; and Elsie grew every day more obdurate, and determined to step out of the beaten track of past generations, but Bhe wa s wise enough to keep her own counsel. Poor Elsie's young life had been ,one of absolute bondage; n o evening fun; no rieigh rides by moonlight, auoh as the rest of the girls enjoyed. No, she must always be accompanied by her lover or father, who considered it his bound duty to watch and keep ElBie from falling in love. Le t us see if he succeeded \Among the train there v/as a swain— The lad-she loved no well.\ A young gentleman, juqt oommB\\— the practice of law m B\-'- •-\'8 spectably«.«- ,, , -f> \ os ', re - , r . , -luected, and just the fellow to take by storm a young girl's heart, \ Tent, -nidi, vici.\ Sometimes Elsie im- agined the feeling was mutual; but how was she ever to know ? He was familial' with th e history of the Groftons—knew what a strange family they had been— and, as Bhe was invariably attended by one or the other of her keepers, it was a hard matter to have even an ordinary in- terview with the young lady. This was her last maiden pirty.—Her father had impressed tha t upon her mind very forcibly. \Gharles don't feel like waiting your motion any longer, my daughter,\ Baid he. \So I have taken the liberty of hurrying things up. Your next party will be o n the occasion of your marriage.\ '\Father replied Elsie, bristling up, \you coulnd't dispose of your cattle on your farm with less show of feeling than you evince in tbe case of your only daugh- ter.\ An d then, as if conscious she had said too much to the old judge, strangely, irascible on this subject, she continued, laughingly: \But if this is going to be my last party, I shall take the liberty of inviting everybody I want.\ \AH right,\ he replied with a sigh \I shall never rest perfectly easy till I see you Charles' wife, and then I know tb e Grofton pride will make you steady and faithful.\ Elsie hummed a lively little tune, and muttered, as she danced out of the room : 'Charks Grofton hasn't got me yet, by jingo I Oh, if I could only have ten min- uteB conversation alone wi'.h Ed. Lee, I know he'd tell me just what I am dying to have him.\ And forthwith, she wrote the young gentleman a friendly little billet-doux, in- viting him t o her party. The largo -old-fashioned parlors vere filled to repletion with the young of both sexes, and Elsie, leaning on the arm of her betrothed, led off th e first dance, and then gave herself up to the fun of th e evening. \Do not think, Charles,\ said Elsie, as Bhe finished the quadrille, \that I a m going to devote myself to you the whole evening. We shall both rerrember vlus night aB long as we live, Take all th e comfort you can; and play the agreeable feslifc hosts of pretty girls hero assem- bled.\ = ij Ijd, Lee arrived,and Elsie^ eyes bright- ene(l, and burning blushes suffused her rohefcks, as she gave htm her hand.

I love you better than anybody else in the world, and if you'll marn me to night, I'll be your wife, and a good one, God helping me, all the days of my life.\ ' Eke Grofton, how can it be ?—Am I dreaming ? Marry yo u t o night ? Yes, you darling, a thousand times over.\ \fi\o,\ laughed Elsie, \I guess once will be enough.

Clarion, is a man who loves a joke, and never lets an opportunity slip that prom- ises a dish of fun. Here is one of his betd,: \Disguised—We have lately got a new suit of clothes, and no man could look more effectually disguised. We look like a gentleman. Upon first putting it on we looked like a cat in a strange garret, and for a long time thought we were swapped off. \VVe went to the house and scared the baby almost into fits; wife asked it we wanted to see Mr. Clark, and aaid he was at the offlae; went there, and pretty Boon a man name in with a atrip of paper in his hand. He asked if the editor was in ; told him we thought not; asked him if he wished to see him particularly; said he wanted hira t,o pay that hill; told him we didn't believe he'd be in ; business man left. We atarted to th e house again ; met a couple of young ladies, one of whom asked the other, 'What handsome otranger ia that?' In our dilemma we met a friend, and told him who we were, ami got him to introduce u s t o our wife, who is no w as proud of ua as she can be.\ • Woman's Society, One of the great benefits a young man may derive from woman's society, is that he is bound to be respectiful to tjjem. The habit is of great goad te your moral man, depend Vipon it. Our education makco of us the most eminently selfish men in tjie world. We fight for ourselves; we push for ourselves; w e out the beat slices out of the joints at olub dinners for ourselves j we yawn for ourselves, and light our pipes, and say we won't go out; we prefer ourselvea and our ease; and the greatest good that comes IQ n man from woman's society is, that he h'j to think of sqm.6b,ody- he'slde I»\'S B eIf—sorne- bqdyJe. wfcm, bu % ], ourJ a to be con- stantly 'attentive and respectful.

No trait of character is more valuable in a wife than the possession of a sweet temper. Home can never be made happy without it. It is like th e flowers that ^spring up i n our pathway,, reviving and cheering UB. Le t a man J50 home at night, wearied and worn oufoy the totla of the day, and how soothing is a word dictated by a BWeet disposition 1 I t is sunshine falling on his heart. He is happy, and the cares of life are forgotten. A sweet temper has a soothing influence over the mind of the whole family. When it is found in the wife and mother, you observe kindness and love predomina- ting over the natural feelings of a bad teart. Smiles, kind words, and look% characterize the children, and peace and love have their dwelling there. Study, then to acquire and retain a sweet temper, It is more valuable than gold 1 I t capti- vates more than beauty, an d to the close of life retains all its freshfiess and power. A QTBEB CASE.—The Police Cour', at Kingston, Canada, had a queer case before it tbe other day. Joh n Newman ivas charged with assisting a soldier of the Royal Artillery to desert, by boxing him up in a large case and conveying him to Cape Vincent b y the steamer Watertown, and Isabella Hurst waa charged with aiding him. I t appeared that the box containing the man was carted to the wharf, and carefully de- posited upon the boat as crockery-ware and glass, directed to M. B Fox, St. Lawrence Hotel, Cape Vincent, New York. The box was conveyed to its destination, accompanied b y the prisoner, and carefully, deposited upon the wharf there, and when opened by the direction of the Custom House officers, a live artilleryman got out, somewhat cramped by his confined position, an d rather red in the face, but none the worse for his temporary boxing.

There have been several attempts to run hotels in London on the American plan; but they have all ended in bank- ruptcy.
