^{)t Jarnur's iHcintl)lri btsitor. 



The Duke of Deyonshibe's Corservatory. 



Of lliis praiid conseivatory no heltur idea can be 

 f;iven timn liy lelling joii lliat it is a glass stiiic- 

 tuie wliifli covers an acre of};i'<""i'J>8"<1 '''"t •'"-' 

 carriage road is roMiinuefl directly throngli it so 

 that the dolie and Ids gnosis can drive ihrougli 

 with a coaC'li and Ibnr! Tlje whole building is 

 heated by hot water, the pipes to convey wbich 

 nif-asiire miles. The ternpcratnre of various cli- 

 mates is imitated, and llie collection of trees and 

 plants embraces all that is fairest and loveliest in 

 the vegetable world. Here is a whole avenue of 

 of bananas Biid plantains, lining one of the grand 

 walks, and among them the JMusn Ciiveneisoii, 

 full of flowers, and laden with heavy masses of 

 fruit. There, in an appropriate climate, is a 

 charnfmg grove of oranges and lemons. In an 

 nqiianum or pond of water are the lilies, and other 

 aquatic plants of the tiopics. And near by is a 

 wild mass of rock work of Derbyshire spar^ 

 looking like a rich bank by a forest stream, where 

 rare exotic ferns, lichens and air plants enjoy 

 soinething as neur as possible to their natural 

 homes. 



Over this hill of rock work, is conducted a 

 flight of steps; this leads yon to a light gallery 

 carried quite around the conservatory, whence, 

 as you imagine, the eye ol'lhe spectator revels in 

 the strangeness and novelty of the masses of ori- 

 ental vegetation, not plants half starved and 

 dwarfed in pots, but trees nearly full grown, and 

 luxuriant with their roots in the warm soil, palms, 

 dates, and bananas, developing almost all their 

 Dative grandeur and oriental wildness!

Gems of Thought. — Men, like books, have at 

 each end a blank leaf — childhood and old age. 



Esteem is the mother of love, but the daughter is of- 

 ten older than the mother. 



Graves are but the prints of the footsteps of the an- 

 gel of eternal life. 



Peace ii^ the evening star of the soul, as virtue la its 

 sun, and ihe two are never ap.irt. 



The gifts that circumstances make in our character, 

 .we arc apt to regard as its native fruit. 



He who dreads giving light to the people, is lil;e a 

 man who builds a house without windows for feaf of 

 hghtniiig. 



Our sorrows are lilte thunder clouds, which seem 

 black iu the distance, but grow lighlur as they ap- 

 proach. 



DoWiVt.NG says that the I'lum is iiaturnSly n ma- 

 rine tree, and it is surprising how much salt it 

 will assimilate and thrive upon. We have, om-- 

 selve.s, given a single tree a large half bushel 

 of .«alt in a season, a()plied to the surface of the 

 grounil in the spring, over an area as wide as the 

 extent of the braiiche.s. The tree w.is iu a sick- 

 ly ami eiifijebled state, and it had the efi'ect of 

 restoring it to a healthy and luxuriant condition. 

 But we consider this an exireiue c.'ise, and should 

 not recommend ihe abimdant use of salt every 

 year. — Farmer's Cabinet.

A Cvt.rKoaMA Kaumer. — A gentleman wri- 

 ting from California, to the editor of Ihe St. Lou- 

 is Reveille, says his stock consists of about 4000 

 bead of oxen, 1700 horses and mules, 3000 sheep, 

 and as many hogs. They all pasture iheniselves 

 without difticidty iu ihe rich prairies and bottoms 

 of the Sacramento, and only require to be atten- 

 ded. This is to he done by Indians, of whom be 

 employs 40U. His annual crop of wheat is about 

 jy,000 bushel.-', with barley, |)oas, beans, &•<;., in 

 pi'oporlion. 



Ki.vo Words. — If the happine«s of others is 

 not uioiive iMioiigh l<>r kind words, we may find 

 a niolive in thi'ir inrtuimiH! on ourselves. The 

 habit of using ihem, will at leiiglh conl(>rin our 

 fci'lings lo our language. We shall become kind, 

 iiol only in our speech, but in our manners, and 

 ill our heurts. On the oilier hand, lo make use ol 

 cai'piiiL', harsh and bitter words, seldom tiiils to 

 sour ihe disposiiion, and lo iiijur<r the temper.
