RUE, OK HERB GRACE. Ru'ta gra- 

 ve' olens. Thrives best in a poor clayey 

 loam, mixed with calcareous rubbish, 

 in an open situation. It is propagated 

 by slips and cuttings, as well as from 

 seeds ; the lirst two modes being 

 usually practised as being the most 

 easy. It may be planted or sown at 

 any time during the spring. The seed 

 in drills six inches apart, and a quarter - 

 of -an inch deep. The rooted slips, or 

 cuttings, may be planted on a poor, 

 shady border, and watered occasionally 

 until taken root. In the autumn the 

 plants may be removed. During their 

 after-growth they must be kept pruned 

 in a shrubby form, and never be allowed 

 to produce seed.

RUINS are a class of buildings beau- 

 \ tiful as objects, expressive as characters, 

 ! and peculiarly calculated to connect 

 I with their appendages into elegant 

 i groups: they may be accomodated with 

 j ease to irregularity of ground, and their 

 disorder is improved by it; they may 

 j be intimately blended with trees and 

 | with thickets, and the interruption is 

 j an advantage, for imperfection and 

 ; obscurity are their properties, and to 

 j carry the imagination to something 

 i greater than is seen, their effect.
