Before the close of .January a few flowers will be in bloo:i]. Train weakly roses, clematis, honeysuckle, and othei creeping plants. Any still implanted bulbs, such as the tulip and narcissus, siiould be put into the ground during the first op;'ii weather. Any bulbs planted in the close of last year and now appearing above ground should be looked to; it is well to shelter the more valuable sorts, by layers of fern leave--, from frost and snow. Delicate plants must be taken particular care of at this time. In houses, cinerarias, primulas, etc., will now be in flower. If the weather permits, sow early peas and beans in sheltered borders. Should bees be kept, feed them if the weight of the hive shows tlicy require feeding. After each fall, shake the snow off evergreens, which are much harmed by alternate freezing and thawing of suow- water. S

Countless, as may be supposed, and totally unleavened by good nature, were the anecdotes circulated in ridicule behind their bac' s, while from interested motives all honour was shown to the faces of this un- suspecting pair. One story told of poor Mrs. Hudson was that, being lionised over the abode of a peer of high rank, and shown the bust of Marcus Aurelius, she gazed at it for some time with reverence, and then inquired, with bated bre'ith, "If " that was the late Markiss ?

Any anemone roots left over from the autumn should now be planted. In this way a succession of flowers is secured late in the season. Divide Chinese chrysanthemums, and place them in small pots, or in a border of rich soil, to ))ot later in the season. Pot scarlet lobelias, and place them in a sunny window or a moderate hot-bed. At the end of the month the seeds of hardy annuals maybe put in the ground in light soils. They should be sown in small patches, and covered with a little dry earth. Transplant last year's layers of carnations into beds or large pots at the end of the mcnith. Sow borage and Canida cloves for bees. In the kitchen garden there is much to do this month.

29.— It is said of Pope Urban A''IIT. that he had this fault in his char- aeter, viz., to think so highly of liis own talents and judgment as to despise and ridicule every person who differed from him in opinion. " O, vvh.'it a prodigy of genius is that man," exclaimed his Holiness one day. "He thinks exactly as I do."

.^.0.— Rising from a youth spent in comi aratively humble circumstances, Thomas Gray became in liis mature years a devoted college- ^*tudent, a poet, a man of refined taste, and an exemplifier of all the virtl^es. His portrait gives us ihe idea of a good-looking man. He was unfitted, however, for success in society liy an insuperable taci- turnity. The only reproach evt-r intimated against him by his college associates was that of fastidious- nes-". Possibly, however, this arose from the fact that he shrunk from the coarse and boisterous enjoy- ments in which the greater number t.f them indulged.

The flowering of plants reaches its height this month. Continue to take up bulbs as the foliage decays, and place annuals or other plants'iii the places left vacant. In showery weather thin out annuals ; they will supply the plants wanted for filling up. Pipings of pinks and carna- I ions may be struck, and layers may 1)6 laid down about the middle of the month. Bud roses if conditions are favourable. Cut down pelargoniums that have done blooming, and lake what cuttings are required ; they will now strike readily. Let- tuce plants and plants recently sown must be watered in dry weather. Peas and scarlet-runners now require striking, and potatoes must have the earth drawn round the roots. Plant out broccoli and celery. Roses, elder, lavender, and other plants are now gathered for distilling. Propagate medicinal and pot-herbs by slips and cuttings ;

DAHT.iAi and hardy annuals are still in flower. Place auriculas under shelter for winter at the end of the month, but they should still liave as much light and air as is consistent with shielding them from frost and heavy rains. Take cactuses indoors, and give them very little water. Make cuttings of Chinese roses, riant out pinks in the beds where they are meant to flower. Thrift, daisy, orgentianella edgings may now be planted : the earth should be pressed firmly round the roots by beating it with the back of a sp.ade. Dog's tooth violet, narcissus, crocus, snowdrop, and such like bulbs, if out of the ground, must now be planted. Earth np celery, and plant lettuces in a sheltered border for winter use.

After the firing had ceased, he sent his captain to request he would attend upon him, which he immediately obeyed; and the admiral entering into conversation, discovered by his answers and ob- servations that he possessed more a!iilities than usually fall to the lot of mankind. Upon his asking his name, the young man told him it was George Washington; and the admiral, on his return home, strongly recommended him to the attention of the Admiralty. This great man when he built his house in America, out of grati- tude to his first benefactor, named it "Mount Vernon," and at this mou.ent it is called so. OCTOBER RHYMES.

There may be tlowers in the garden in this and the following month. The common monthly rose and several varieties of laurestine are in blossom. Evergreen shrnhs and trees are now in great beauty. Take up dahlia roots carefully iii fine weather and label them. Let the roots dry gradually, and then lay them in a shallow box : cover them with sand, and house them in any dry place where they are free from frost. Plant tulips and hyacinths in beds as early in the month as possible. Plant them three or four inches deep and six inches apart. Stocks of the wild rose should now be obtained from the hedge. Finish takingup potatoes, carrots, beet, and parsnips. Take up early broccoli, endive, late caulitlower, and lettuces, and lay them in an open shed, or in old cucumber or melon pits, which will protect them frojii frost, and afford a supjily during winter. This is the month for flooding water meadows. i

The woi-k to be done in the flower- garden is much the same as last month. Tea roses that are in ex- posed situations should be taken up, and placed safely out of the reach of frost. Any fuchsias that are to remain out all the winter should bo cut down and have their roots covered with litter or coal ashes. In frosty weather sprinkle light litter over any choice things in open beds. Make plantations of rhubarb, sea-kale, asparagus, and horse- radish. Sow early peas and beans on dry warm slopes. Dig round old fruit-trees. If any trees grow too luxuriantly to bear well, root-prune them. C(jntinue, if necessary, to m;ike new dr.dns.to improve water- courses, and to plant hedges. Turn up the ground thoroughly for ex- posure to the frost and snow. In- f^pect the fruit in the store-room at frequent and regular intervals, and remove whatever is found to be in a state of decay. Everything likely to suffer from the frost, such as young cabbages, sown late for spring planting, should be well protected with mats, straw, dry fern, or long dry inauure. ;
