The Devil.
\ REV. ALFRED J. Hot, GH, LUDLOW, VT. -
Bien iion't believe in a devil now, as their fathers
used to do:
They've forced the door of the broadest creed to

And Joibls tla• bier of each passing year with ten

Who blights the bloom Of the land to -day with

siy rine Ulla ten
Ow sups of the toiling saint and digs
the pit for his feet?
Who t.oics the tares in the field of time- wherever

Tile devil is voted not to be, and, of course, the
thing is true -
But v. im is doing tits. kixol of work the devil slone

But siniple people would like to know who carries

TERRORS OF THE WATERS.

of a moving, crashing mass of ice -and flood,
steadily going down the river: Of the

blocks of ice, as, forced into the air,- they
fell again, grinding all beneath them into

husband and father must have felt as to

FLORAL TOPICS.
Why Flowers Should be Grown, and How
to do it.
Everybody likes them. They have a
cheerful, gladsome look. Their perfume is
grateful. Bright and beautiful children of
the sun, they should adorn and gladden
every home. No home need be without
them, for even in a window there maybe a
flower garden. They amply repay the care
and attention they need by their beneficent
influence on all beholders.
More sound, . practical common-sense
about flower culture. is rarely seen than
pervades an article in a receut number of
the Congregationalist. It is written by a
lady, Mrs. A. S. Downs, of Andover. It
sets out by saying: "This article is not for
the happy possessors of spacious, beautiful
gardens, filled with rare exotics, and tended
by experienced gardeners. No; this is for
the people of many cares, little knowledge,
limited means, and no leisure, who yet
crave flowers, as the flowers themselves
crave sunshine."
The practical hints given by this lady
may be summarized as follows: Almost
any soil will do if it be loose, with 'a sunny
exposure. Richness is not demanded; in
fact, many of the roost desirable flowers
thrive better in poorer quarters. It should
be well spaded ; but tne plants essential to a
desirable slow of blooms will do with a
meagre- stirring- of the soil, such as a
woman can achieve. Now for the plants:
First, sweet peas -They need scarce any
care, will bloom early and late, even till
frost conies, while their beauty, grace and
odor are beyond question. White, painted
lady and scarlet invincible, are the kinds
recommended, and the caution is dropped
to avoid mixed packages. They should be
.planted the same depth - as garden peas.
Brush is better than string for: them te
twine upon. Once in blossom they will
make the whole summer delightful.
Next' inignionette_ Some think this
capricious, not growing for everybody, and
it has even. been called " aristocratic,"
But, in truth, it deserves its Freneh nanie
of " poor. man's darling.":' Ong great cause
of failure with this- and other seeds is that
they are buried too deeply, • It should be
