THE ' ALV P0 BOREALI8, In tin American Agriculturist lor tone, 1879, under the above head, I flnd 1 deeCription of 1 plant which, though indigenom to thttcoatt, 1 little known wheft i few mllet from its native woods. The calypso belong! to the orchid family, and prcsenti rather a more singular appearance than most of the other memberi of thai lingular family ol planti. The plant Im n imall, hard bulb, at the hast- of w hich are two ihorl mots about thrcc-quartcn of jin inch longi with a few very short rootleti along their sides. These roots, Instead of growing in the earth, grow in mots, and only penetrate deep enough to reach the soil. Early in January the bulb begins to shrink away, ami ii new one formi in its place, from which rises a Military ovate leaf. In lime thru- will shoot up a stem to the height offoui to six iiu hc-s, bearing at the top ii solitary Sower, having a lip 11 sac hanging front the lower side, something nftei the manner of the - l.i. in s' slipper," only inttcad of being unit, it Ii mini. itis p Hu- ,,un rnd in two sharp points, about one-eighth of an inch long. 1'his sac is one of the petals, ami i of an indest ribable brown ish COlO!

There is a growing feeling in every healthy community against journals which make their special object to min ister to a perverted taste, by seeking out and serving up in a seductive form dis gusting and licentious revelations. There is good reason to believe that the clean newspaper is more highly prized lo-d:iy than it was four or five years ago. It is also safe to predict that as people in all ranks of life, who protect their own, at least from contamination, become more conscious of the pernicious influence of a certain class of journals. called enterprising because they are am bitious to serve up dirty scandals, they will be careful to see that the journals thrv nermit to be read in the ffl'mllv circle are of the class that never forget the proprieties of life. - Already both men and women of refinement anil healthy morals have bad their attcn- .1 O . t il , n tion caiicu in ine pernicious initiicnce ol bad literature, and have made com mendable efforts to counteract the same y causing Bound literature to be pub llhed and sold at nonular nrWa These efforts are working a silent but sure revolution. The best authors an- more generally read to-day than at any previous date. The sickly, sentimental Story-paper, and the wild ranger and pirate story-book arc slowly but surely yielding the field to worthier claimants. Let the good work go on ; the sooner such literature is banished the better. On a railway line, recently, a passen ger stopped the conductor, and asked : " Why does not the train run faster ?" " It mns fast enough to suit us. If you don't like the rate of speed, get out and walk," was the rejoinder. "I would," replied the passenger, settling back in t he seat, " but my friends wouldn't come lor me till the train arrives, and I don't want to be waiting at the station for two or three hours." "How came those holes in your el bows ?" said the Widow Smith In her irrepressible small boy. tOh, mother, rwnino me sola when little Jack Horner was saying to our Jule "that be d take her, even if you had to be thrown in; and he didn't Lnn 1 there, and so I held in and laughed in ..... . c , un i nurst cm.
