SIGSS OF UAL.
Addressed by Dr. jenker, 1810, to a young lady
who as led him u he thought it would rale to-morruw.
The hollow winds begin to howl.
The clouds look black, the glaas 1 tow ;
The soot falls down, the spaniels sleep,
And spider from the cobwebs creep.
Last night the bud went pale to bed,
The moon in halos hid her head ;
The boding shepherd heaves a sigh.
For see, a rainbow spans the kij I
The walls are damp, the ditches smell,
Closed is the pink-eyed pimpernel :
The squalid toads at dusk ar seen, - I -Slow
ly craVling j'er the green
Loud quack the ducks, the peacocks cry,
The distant hills are looking nigh.
Hark I how the chairs and tables crack I
Old Betty's joints are on the rack ;
And see yon rooks, how odd their flight,
They imitate the glidihg kite.
Or seem precipitate to fall.
As if they felt the piercing hall.
Bow restless are the snorting swine;
The busy flies disturb the kine ;
Low o'er the grass the swallow wings ;
The cricket, too, how loud she sings 1 '
'T will surely rain, I see with sorrow.
Our jaunt must be put off to-morrow.
Delicate Women.
We cannot be far from right in say
ing that almost all the mental and
physical ailings of "delicate women
may be traced to a defective educa
tion. And those who are now en
gaged in training girls, whether at
home or in schools, cannot too seri
ously consider the weight of responsi
bility resting upen them. Upon their
management depends much of future
health, and consequently the. useful
ness and happineas of those coiiimittt.l
to their charge.
As requisites to the promotion of
bodily vigor, we will mention :
A strict attention to personal clean
liness, which children should be taught
to cultivate, because it is healthy and
right that they should be clean, and
not because kIt would look so if they
were dirty.
lhe use of appartments that are
well ventilated.
Frequent and sufficient active bodi
ly exercise in the open air.
Entire freedom from any pressure
upon the person by the use of tight
clothes.
A sufficiency of nourishment and
digest idle food.
And in the winter the use of such
firing as is needed to keep up a health
ful warmth.
All these will tend to promote
health, but we shall have no security
against "delicate women" unless there
also be added the cultivation of men
til health. For this it is ncressary
that girls should be taught to cultivate
"mental purity and mental activity',
bv sufficient and well regulated exer
cise of the mind. Habits of benevo
lence, constant, and cheerful gratitude
should be inculcated, both by precept
and example, to the exclusion of sel
fishness. And above all should be
strongly impressed upon the mind the
necessity of the strictest integrity,
which will lead to the abhorrence of
every species of affectation, which is.
indeed only a modified sort of deceit.
Girls should also be early taught that
rhey are responsible beings; respon
sible to God for the right use of all
the mercies bestowed upon them ; and
that health is one of the chief of
earthlv blessings, and that it U their
duty to value and preserve it.
But much is learned from example
as well as precept; therefore, let no
llfectation of languid airs in a teacher
give a child the idea that there can be
anything admirable in the absence of
strength. We do not wish that girls
should cultivate anything masculine ;
for an unfeminine woman cannot b'
an object of admiration to the right
judging of either sex. But a fern tie
has no occasion to affect to be femin
ine ; she is fo naturally, and if she
will but let nature have its perfect
work, she will, mest likely, be not
only seminine, but also graceful and
admirable.
The school studies of girls shouliT
be so arranged that they may a fiord
mental food and satisfaction ; other
wise, as soon as the lesson hours are
over, they will mostt likely turn with
avidity to any i.onesense they can
learn from foolish conversation, or to
reading some of the trashy books of
the d iy, to the injury of all mental and
moral health, and the almost certain
production of "delicate women."
If you are conscious of the least
feeling (S sntisf.ietio:) in hearing your
self hVi'iken of as delicate, be assured
it i a ilcgi t e of mental disease tl-.atj
allows the feeling. If you ever sap- j
pose that you gain your hubanu s
sympathy by weakness, remember you
might gain more of his steei:i. and
satisfied affection, by strength. Fifty
years ago, it was well aid that, "To
a man of feeling, extreme delicacy in
the partner of his life and fortune, is
an object of great and constant con
cern ; but a semblance of euch delica
cy, where it does not really exist, is
an insult on his disernment, and must
ultimately inspire him with aversion
and disgust." It is not for us to say
how many put on the semblance of
delicacy as a covering for idleness, or
from any of the weak motives that
prompt such an affection and happy
will it be for the household of any one
w ho can be arroused from such a piti
able state.
Could women onlv know how manv
husbands are bankrupt because their
wives are "delicate, how many chil
dren are physically, mentally and
morrily neglected and ruined, because
their mothers are "delicate" how
many servants become dishonest and
inefficient, because their mistresses are
"delicate" the list would be so appal
ling, that possibly we might hear of
an anti-delicate ladies association, for
the better production of family happi
ness and family economy. Rural
Register.
Prize Conundrums.
Professor Anderson, the Magician,
offered a gold watch each to the lady
and gentleman who should offer the best
conundrum, and the night appointed for
the award brought together as many
people as the Trtmont Temple could con
tain; and, of course, there were some
hundreds of them who had anxious hearts
pending the teit of the pungency an I
eflicae-y of t:.eir wit. The commute cf
adjunction took their places on the plat
form, alter ihe major performences were
over, and !ome fivf hundred conundrums
were read, many of which were rtceived
with applausn. Jtlly go'd humor pre
vailpd throughout, all hough the process of
reading was a protracted one. It lasted
until 12 o'clock, when the judges, among
whom was '-The Autocrat of the. Break
fast Table," retired to consult on their
solemn verdict on the funniest of all pos-i-il'l
cases. We select a few samples of
the conundrums, to show on what stort of
evidence they founded the verdict, which
of course, as is thu case with all judicial
decisions mvolving great public interests,
was subject to the criticism of conflicting
opinions:
BY LADIES.
Why is Mrs. Lincoln like Lazarus?
Because she reposes on Abraham's bo
som !
Why are the conundrums to-night like
Stevens' guns on the 12th cf April?
Because they are aimtd at Anderson's
watch.
Why are the audience guessing this
conundrum like the leaders of the South
ern Confederacy ? Because they will
have to give it up.
Why is General McClellan like a per
son who has just captured a small insect
which has disturbed his rest? Because
he sees the wicked flea before him.
BY CENTLEMEN.
Why will Americans have more cause
to remember the letter S than 'any other
letter in the alphabet? Because it is the
beginning of secession and the end of
Jelf. Davis.
Why is Prof. Anderson like David of
old? Because he beats all (beat Saul.)
Why is W. II. Russell, LL D., like
low prices? Because he corresponds
with the Times.
Why is the rebels' proposition for Uncle
Sam to ' let Vm alone" like a nigger in
a coal-hole looking after a Brattle street
boot ? Because- he. don't see it in that
liht.
Why is an owl in the daylight like the
President of ihe United States? Be
cause he i a-blitikin', (Abe Lincoln.)
Why was the mother of Mo-es, of
Bil le histoiy, unlike Dr. Russell of the
London Times? Because she made a
run for th bulrush, and he made a rush
frou ihe Buil Run.
W hy are the rebel leaders like turkeys ?
When their ncksare stretched there will
be a general thanksgiving.
Why is Henry Ward Beecher worse
than Brig!. am Young? Because he has
uiiinnd more wr.:e.i than he cau support,
and would like t. matry more. '
Why can't Gmj. H auregnrd have soup
as well as McClellan? B. cause he can't
get the pot o" Ma-:. (Potomac.)
AWARDS.
The watches were assigned to the au
thors of thn following conundrums :
Ladies' Prize, a Gold Watch "Why
is it impossible for the government to
grant the request of our Southern breth
ren ? Because children in arms are nev
er L-t alone."
Gentlemen's Prize, a Gold Watch
"Why is a water lilly like a whale?
Because it comes to the surface to blow,"
How to Manage Fruit Trees.
The seeds of riost kinds of fruit trees
should be planted in the autumn.
The seeds of the stone fruit peach
plum and cherry should be cleansed
from tho pulp a3 soon as ripe, and
either planted, or put into sand imme
diately. If seeds are left in the pulp
until after fermentation nas com
menced, their vitality will be injured
if not destroyed. So, too, if permit
ted to remain out of the ground all
winter and become dry, they do not
start so readily as if planted in the
autumn.
Cherry pits are sometimes put into
a box an I mixed with sand and placed
where the frost3 of winter will act
upon them, and then planted in the
spring. 1 di not like this plan, be
cause the seeds start very early, some
times before it is convenient to plant
them. The little plants are very ten
der, and so easily injured that many
are destroyed by the removal from the
sand to the seed bed.
The safest way is to prepare the
seed bed early in the autumn, scatter
the seeds in rows upon the surface,
covering lightly with earth, and leav
ing spaces between the rows for the
purpose of passing along to weed the
bed. The rows may be six inches, or
a foot wide. Some people sow broad
cast, leaving no spaces, but in that
case, if the bed is a large one, the pro
cess of weeding will be somewhat te
dious, and many plants will be tram
pled upon and destroyed.
At one year old, many of the seed
lings will be of a suitable size to
transplant to the nursery rows for
budding.
Plumb pits maybe treated tho same
as the cherry.
Teach pits are sometimes left in bar
rels over the winter, cracked in the
spring and planted in the nursery
rows. This is not a good plan.
Prepare a piece of ground in the
autum, scatter the pits upon the sur
face, cover slightly with earth, and the
frost of winter will crack them.
BU' the middle of may the plant will
be coming up ; they must then be t iken
up carefully, with a transplanting trow
el md set ii the nurserv rows. The
rows four feet apart, and the plants
about nine inches apart in the toa
By this method, the trouble and ex
poseure of cracking by hand 13 saved ;
the rows are full, and there are no
gaps, w here the seeds refuse to veget
ate, as is often the case where the
stones aro carcked by hand in the
spring, and the seeds planted in the
nursery rows.
Peach stocks should be budded the
first year. Professor J. C. Holmes,

How the Japenese Restore Faded
1 lowers.
A Nagasaki correspondent of the
N. Y. Herald, writes :
After a bouquet is drooping beyond
all remedy by fresh water, the Japan -ees
can bring it back to all its first
glory by a very simple and sccm;ngly
most destructive operation. I had
reeeived some davs ago a delightful
bunch of flowers from a Japanese ac
quaintance. They continued to live
in all their beauty for nearly two
weeks, when al last they faded. Just
as I was about to have them thrown
away, the same gentleman (Japanese
gentleman) came to see me. I showed
him the faded flowers, and told him
that, though lasting a long time, they
now became useless. "Oh no, sir,"
said he ; "only put the ends of the
stems into the fire, and they will be as
good as before." I was incredulous ;
so he took'them himself and held the
stem-ends in the fire until they were
completely charred. This was in the
morning ; at evening they were again
looking fresh and vigorous, and have
continued so for another week.
What may be the true agent in this
reviving process, I am unable to de
termine fully; whether it be the heat
driving once more the last juices irto
every leaflet and vein, or whether it
be the bountiful supply of carbon fur
nished by the charring. I am inclined,
however, to the latter cause, 33 the
full effect was not produced until some
eight houri afterward, and as it seems
that, if the heat were the principal
agent, it n.ust have been sooner fol
lowed by iiiblc changes.

Skeleton leaves and Flowers.
A correspondent of the Evening
Bulletin gives some excellent diree
tions for the preparation of skeleton.
1 1 rr . , .
leaves auuu'jwersaa ornaments, wnicu
of late have become so fashionalel for
the mantle, or as subjects for stereo
scopic observation.
The leaves should be steaped inraia
water in broad opon bowls, and ex
posed to the sun and air until all tho
soft parts aro perfectly decayed. Tho
water should not be changed, but the.
bowls filled as the water evaporates.
Some kinds of leares will be ready to
clean in the course of a month or six
weeks ; others wiill require a much
longer time; but as it depends very,
much on the heat of the sun, and tho
age of the leaves when gathered, no
precise period can be named. Insomo
leaves the skin will peel off in small
particles, in others it can be peeled off
entirely, or it may decay altogether.
The bowls should be examined oc
casional! v. and the le:ivt ro:uv fnr
cleaning removed to a basin of soft
water; they should then be gently
rubbed in the water with tho lingers
till every particle of skin or green
pulp is removed from the fibre ; should
tins not succeed, the stronger leaves
may be cleaned with soap and fl mnel.
This will finish the skeletonizing pro
cess.
The fibers should t'icn be carefullv
dried, having first pressed them in a
soft towel, in order to remove tho
moisture. They are now ready for
bleaching, and may be laid awav'until
a sufficient quantity is collected.
ine liquor tor bleaching is prepared
by pouring a quart of boiling water
upon a quarter of a pound of chlorido
ot lime in the powder. lh:s should
be allowed to stand until cold, and tho
clear liquor strained off, which may bo
bottled for use. When wanted" fop
bleaching, mix with cold water, in
about the proportions of one part of
the liquor to twenty of water, in shaK
low dishes; lay the leaves in, and let .
them remain till perfectly white, when
they must be removed iiamedutely
and dried in blotting paper. If this
solution should not be strong enough
to bleach them in ten or twelve hours,
a little more of tho liquor must bo
added; but care must bo taken not to
use too much, or the finer Cbcrj will
be destroyed.
In the directing process, the Icavc3
invariably come ou their stems; they
may be mounted when bleached, either
among branched stalks previously
dried and bleached, or on fine wiro
covered with white tissue paper.
The leaves should be gathered when
fully gr iwn, or the fibre is nor. suffi
ciently strong, and some Ieav s dissect
much better than others. Anion"
these are the poplar, maple, pear, ivy,
holly, magnolia, kc ; the seed ves-ib
of the large Oriental poppy, the thorn,
apple and henbane, dissect well, and
many smaller seed vessels, after they
have shed their seeds, may be dried, .
and then bleached without stccr.ingin
water, as first directed.
The Incinccrlty or Social Life.
Who is the prophet that shall uncover
the abysses of our acted lies, and pur
adequate shame on our mutual imposi
tions? Smiles on our faces, with envy
and jealousy underneath ; cordiality iu
our grasp, with no connecting netvi be
tween the finders and the heart; defer
ence in our professions, with no suitable
esteem, no genuine respect, no sacred
sincerity; invitations issued with a fraud
lurking in their politeness; gt tun? the
company together by one fah-tbood ;
greetings of indiscriminate? and extrava
gant welcome, receiving them with an
other; fashions ruaJe cp cf composite
illusions, ornamenting thesu with ar.uiher;
ceremonies of elaborate, make-believe,
sustaining their mock dignity with an
other; and dishonest regrets at the fare
well, dismissing them with another who
will dare to affirm these do n.t enter ap
pallingly into the staple of what we call
civilized and elegant life ? When is tha
rugged, truth fpeaking, Christian tim3
coming, which shall tear open and rend
apart these guilty illusions, plant tho
communion of soul with scul on some
pure and just foundation, and restore the
social world to its primitive and upright
simplicity ? F. D. IIu.dinbm.
