As thn men worn well acipiainted w th each oilier, and had fought and bled together, it wan hard to lay tho finger of Hiisii cion on any one. A xtrict watch was Kept, and at last tho thefts were fixed upon two recruits who hud lately joined onu of tho Alexandria companies. Now, I wish to say right hero that in three years of sefv co in iIhh regiment I do not remember it Hinglo instance, but tho one above, whero a man was caught Hteiding from liis comrades. Kvcti when almost starving, tho men would not surrep titiously tako even a crust from tho haversack of a comrade. (In the con trary, in my company, at least, it was share all around in t ines of scarcity, although it must be acknow ledged that when tho cooks doled out the scanty rat. ons every man was ready to take the best pieces, li lt to our tale.

Knte. ing the tent w licic the men were coli liiied I found tin 111 playing cards "You itieii iii 11 st uiiilergo your sen tence at three o'clock,' said I, "but vou must b"ar up.

Al .'I p. 111. tho regiment wa.s drawn up as if for dress parade, and I uiarcheil the thieves out with a lilo of bayonets at the back of each, and w hen till was ready pa raded them up and down before the line with the lifi-s and drums rattling nvv.iy merrily at the "Kogii i s March'' behind tin 111, am d roars of laughter Iran (lie 111. 11 w ho hail been tli honored by their pre-clice.

Now that this charming autumn flower has become so popular tho ipies- tion is rcp atetlly asked: How shall we grow our plants to pro, luce tin; besl, results? For exhibition purposes, or for blooming indoors, it is necessary to prom-no them iu pots, hence they reipiire constant attention or failure will bo cer tain. I. ate iu autumn a good clump of each variety desired should bo lifted and potted 11 h stock-plants for propa gating purpo-eH. These may cas.ly be wintered, cither in a cold frame, or in a cool, airy cellar, imt if by the former method, the pots must lie plunged in coal a lies to prevent injury. Marly in spring, say by March 1st. tin' plants may be g.ven'a slight heat lo start growth, which is readily excit ed, and as soon its the young shoots am two or three inches in length, thev may be cut oil smoothly, the bottom leaves removed and the cutt ng.s inserted in well-drained boxes or pots of .-and. Hoots will ipiicklv and easily form, after which the new pfanls should bo potted oil' singly into tw o and a half or three -inch pots. It will be iieecs-ary to keep llieiu in a low temperature to prevent a soft, succulent growth, as no llowcr yields more 011ick.lv to heat than tho chrysanthemum. As soon as the young plant begins to grow the center should be pinched out, so as to insure silo shoots, mid when tho latter have developed three or four leaves their tips should also be pinched in like manlier. The object in this is to induce a round, compact head, so that at inalur ty it may pre-o'it a per fect globe of bloom, i'ilicllillg lllll-t be resorted lo as the shoots are form-'d and grow, until the l-t of August, when they must be allowed to mature, else Will the tloWer-buds be injured. Various other forms are adopted for training tlrs plant, but the globular will be found the most tractable. The best soil lor the chrysanthemum is a loose, fr tilde loam, w ell enriched with thoroughly decayed mature, mid the plants wh 'ti growing should re ceive an occasional dose of weak liouid manure. As the pots become tilled with roots - wh'cli maybe ascerla tied by carefully turning otit the ball -they must receive a larger size, not forget ting to ram the soil gently all around the edges, or, as gardeners say, "linn" il. I'se plenty of lra;n;;ge," for, not withstanding th's plant loves plenty of moisture, it will riot thrive with old stagnant water in the soil. As soon as Hit! weather has settled in spring, anil danger from frost has passed, tho pots should bo sunk in tho ground up to the rims, mid a slight mulch applet! lo the surf ace of the soil. Water freely, mid .syringe tla.lv excepting in wet weather. I'crhap's the greatest pest to the chrysanthemum is a little black aphis which appears iu immense numbers on tho lips an I suc culent young wood. These may ! dislodged by dusting snuff over them, or spr iikling w th lol a 'co vvat -r. l'y-rethrutu-powder is also cllicacioiis. This llowcr may be grown in the usual wav to form line spec mens if only alit'.lo care is be, towed during the summer. In short, make the soil rich, pinch frotrtentiv wh le tic plant is yo iiig, nmicii, water "iiouM the weather be tin. and keep oil' the in set ts. At the North, s' t the plants on a warm southern expo ure, so that bloom may be sct'iind before fro I. The varieties are now so numerous th it to present a list of th" best would b -useless, as almost a:iv responsible llorist can furnish a beautiful c dlection in all the numerous clas.es.

Carefulness in Old Age. A medical man compares an old man to 1111 old wagon; w.th light loading and C ireful usage it w.ll last for years; but line heavy load or sudden strain will break it an I ruin it forever. Many people reach the age of lift,- or sixty or seventy, measurably free from most of the pains ami inlirmitit s of age. cheerv in heart and -omul iu hcaltn, r pe iii wisdom mitt experience, w.th sympa thies mellowed by age, and with rea sonable proscts and opportunities for continued usefulness in the world for a considerable time. Let such persons bo thankful, but let them also be careful. An old constitution is like an old bone, broken with case, mended with tldli ciilly. A young tree lu tuls to the gale, an old one snaps and falls before the blast. A sing e hard lift, a;i hour of heatngwork, an evening of exposure lo niiii or damp, a severe chill, an ex cess of food, the nnii-ual indulgence of an appetite tr passion, a sudden lit of anger, an in;irop.'r tlo-e of 111 .! cine -any of these or other siin'dar things cut nil a valuable I f" in an hour, and leave the fa r ho es of usefulness and cujov nient but a shapeiess wreck.
