O 29 the British territory in Burmah, and was returning to Calcutta in a ship of war. Desiring to inspect the penal settlement in the Andaman Islands, he turned aside from his direct course, and landed at Port Blair. The inspection was completed before nightfall. Instead of at once returning on board, he and his friends proceeded to the top of a mountain which lay between them and their point of embarkation, their object being to obtain a commanding view of the district. Darkness came on before they reached the pier. A considerable escort which had surrounded his lordship, thinking all danger to be past, had broken into detached groups.

A more 3 51 profitless act than his it would be difficult to imagine.

Sow winter and spring spinach in the beginning and about the end of the mouth; parsley and winter onions, for a fuil crop, in the first week; cabbages, cauliflower, savoys, and German greens, about the middle of the month, for planting out in spring: lett ce in the first and last week; small salads occasionally. Plant and earth up celery and endive. A few coleworts may still be planted. Net up, in dry weather, gooseberry and currant bushes, to preserve the fruit till late in the autumn Every exertion should now be made to preserve the ripening fruit on the walls from insects, and to destroy wasp-nests. Sow auricula and primula seeds in pots and boxes. Man: his Nature, his Duty, and his End. MAN is to himself the mightiest prodigy of nature, for he is unable to conceive what is body, still less what is mind, but least of all is he able to conceive how a body can be united to a mind, which is his proper being.-Pascal. THERE are two things which, the more I contemplate them, the more they fill my mind with admiration-the starry heaven above and the moral law within me.-Goethe. LIKE to the falling of a star, F. Beaumont. EVERY man is a missionary, now and for ever, for good or for evil, whether he intends or designs it or not. He may be a blot, radiating his dark influence outward to the very circumference of society; or he may be a blessing, spreading benediction over the length and breadth of the world: but a blank he cannot be. There are no moral blanks; there are no neutral characters. We are either the sower that sows and corrupts, or the light that splendidly illuminates, and the salt that silently operates; but being dead or alive, every man speaks.-Chalmers. I CANNOT but pity the man who recognises nothing godlike in his own nature.-Channing. Woman: her Duties and her LET no man value at a little price . All store without her leaves a man but poor, And with her poverty is exceeding store. Chapman. THE rights of woman! What are they? NOTHING lovelier can be found WOMEN, like the plants in woods, derive their softness and tenderness from the shade.-Walter Savage Landor. |
