of theirs is, the assembling of the dilTerent

Often this occurs before day-brcakThe
children, when assembled, kneel when
the aged sire kisses each, and then pronoun

! An Italian llorist is said to have made the j
; discovery thai delightful fragrance may be j
! bestowed upon plants naturally inod lous
! liy iho following singular means :
j In order to attain this objret, the roots
' arc < -overed with fragrant manures. Thus,
. . . 1
with a decoction of roses the discoverer lias {
1 liei-ii enabled to irivo to tin: rhododendron
i ?
j the perfect fragrance of the rose. In order
lo secure a successful result, it is ihccs!
sary to treat tlie seeds of the plant lo which
it is ?h-sired to give fragrance. They are
: steeped two or three days in the required !
; essence, then dried in the shade, and shortj
ly afterward sown. If it is desired to
: change the natural odor of the plant for
j one of more agreeable or more desirable,
| the strength of tlie essence is doubled or
; tripled, and a change must be made in the
| nutrition of llic plant. In order to make
, the artiiicial odor permanent, the plant
j mil.-?t be sprinkled and dampened with the
; essence several days in the spring for two
J or throe years. And thus, also, it is said,
, a garderncr may at his pleasure cause dif
fcrent plants or trees to share their odors
j with eaeh other, by boring through the
stalk, or trunk, or root, an opening into
; whieh to pour the fragrant ingredients.
I 77/f Intrinsic J/'i/ht of the. St am.?On
account of the distance of tlte stars, it is
i not i.ovib'e to form any idea of their actual
I 1
magnitude ; for when viewed through good
telescopes they appear simply as luminous
j points, without any sensible di*ks. Their
light may, howewr, be compared with that
of any other luminous object; and Dr.
Wollaston found, bv photometrical experi:
incuts, the light of Siritis, the brightest of
; the fixed stars, to be to that of the sun, in
the ratio of 1 io 20,000,000,000. Now, the
i proportion of Hcjht icfcived from any lumin
. uujj no(iy, oemg inversely as the square of
i its distance, it follows that the sun would
; require lo he removed to 141,400 times its
' actual distance, in order that its light should
1??: equal to that ofSirius. 15ut the parallax
of Sirius, if sensible at all, is undoubtedly
less than one second, whence it is easily cal1
ciliated that tin: distance of Sirius cannot bo
less than 200,000 times the distance of the
: sun from the earth, and from this it follows
. that the light ol Sirius cannot be less than
j the double of that emitted by the sun.?
j 1 >r. Wollaslon, assuming <i smaller and
: mole prohahli) limit of the parallax, sup[
poses the light ofSirius to be equal to that
' of fourteen suns.

woman is the prettiest in the world; but

lo go ;it once to the real issue?fur beauty

why is it that our women, as compared with
the women of other temperate climates,

The answer may be made in a few words.
It is because they neglect air and exorcise"
Weakness, lassitude, and a fading cemplexion,
as inevitably follow indolence and
confinement as the wilting of a plant result-:
from its deprivation of ligbt. It is a law

indicated bibulous rather than biblical
propensities, arrived 0110 Satunlav
ni?rht at a country town, the rector of
which was an indolent man of the old
school, and was always too happy to
ret any one to relieve him of his duty.
The sexton was not long in reporting
the presence of a strange clergyman
at the inn, and the rector immcdiatcl v

at tlio moment the rumors of thu

that had been current ever since the

to recall his invitation, remarking
that "one ought to know something

The fact lias long been known to build
ers, yet apparently but littlo regarded by
them, that the action of coal-gas is highly

jess to say that this eating away of tho mortar
by ooal-gas is the cause of many .fires,
