of Hiisii cion on any one. A xtrict watch

were fixed upon two recruits who hud
lately joined onu of tho Alexandria

hero that in three years of sefv co in

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

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. A

"Oh, never mind, corpy," sa'd one
of them, and they were both laughing.
"Wo re glad to get loose. We'll lie en

Siiinit Hints Kchitlnic to tin- Culture
ol
This ('liurnilni; Autumn l lnwer.
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. Some of

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.
