From the New York Sun, “It's the easiest thingin the worldto get married,” said the lecturer advocating matri- mony for young men, in an up-town hall; “it’s as easy as rolling off a log, as the saying is. Min- isters tell him that it is his duty; moralists up- braid him because he does not get a wife; philo- sophers argue that the toundation of the state is the family; friends point out to him thehappy life of many persons. The young man has no protection against all this opposition, and, if he is a right-minded person, he will not try to op- pose such logic. If he is of proper age, Is ma- tured in his judgment, can support a wife and is reasonably industrious he ought to be mar- ried before twenty-five. But there are many less fortunate young men In this city who never speak to a decent woman trom one year’s end to another, Some are engaged in shops where only men are employed; others in offices which never have a female visitor. ‘Their homes arein lonely furnished rooms, with meals at restau- rants. These poor fellows actually pine for re- fined female society. One whose loneliness has come to my notice lives in Harlem.” The reporter saw this celibate, and got from him this story: He was living in a furnished room and boarding at restaurants. After two years of this life he began to wish for some re- fined female society, and accordingly engaged board in a fashionable boarding-house in east Tith street. He was somewhat surprised by the greed with which his week’s board was de- manded in advance and almost snatched out of his hands, but comforted himself with a glimpse ota golden-haired head through a half-opened joor. ‘The young man had stipulated for a fire in his room, but on going up at night found it as cold asa barn. He called tor the landlady, and, after repeated trials, succeed in gaining’ her atten- tion. In an injured tone she promised to ralse @ little fire in the room. In halt an hour or so, during which the young man_ grew warm from inward heat, a frowzy and slatternly servant- girl came in with a bang, threw some kindling wood on the hearth, lit it, put ona little coal, and went away, taking the coal bucket with her He started after her to secure the bucket, but too late, and he heard the golden-haired beauty say: Cy pee the matter with that galloot up- stairs?” “Oh, he wants a fire, bad luck to him.” “Well, he must be a gilly. Carry him up the kitchen stove.” Slowly and sadly the young man in search of refined female society pulled on his overcoat, walked down to the street, hired an express wagon, helped to put his trunk on, and quit the house just in time to hear the golden-haired young woman remark: ‘Well, I knew that fel- low was a fraud when I firet saw him.” He went to his old “furnished room.” It had not been let. It was warm and comfortable, and he heard the chérry laugh of the landlady and her delighted remark, “I expected you back, but not quite 80 soon.” That was his last attempt to find refined female society. The oung man sald there were 60 such isolated fel- lows in his block. —_—__+e-—_____ The Young Lady With the Pug. From the Boston Post.

From the New York'Sun, “Where do the new roses come from? Who dis- covers or make them? Ifthey are made, how are they made?'/Does it pay to make them? What is the reason that of late years roses gene- rally seem to be “getting larger than they used to be?” $ These and several other related questions were asked by a Sun reporter of George Wilson, an acknowledged Authority on roses. jew roses,” he replied, *‘come from England and France mainly, elthough some are produced in other European Countries, and a few, very few, may claim to be American. When you see arose that you bave fat been accustomed to Seeing It 1s by nd. means safe, however, to as- sume that It is an altogether new one. It may be simply one thas. has ;disappeared trom public view for a number of years, and during that time has been kept in existence by some {ndi- yidual grower who has a particular liking for it. Look at the Bon Silene and the Niphetox, for instance. Both are old roses. The first named was once discarded in this rants, and went entirely out of po; ular nowledge for 15 years. When it re-appeared it came from France to Boston, thence to this city, and trom here spread every- where. It is now a generally popular favorite. It is not large, ut its buds are ir fectly formed, and it hasa charming tint. The long. white, beautiful buds of the Niphetos were grown here 40 years azo, but, through some chance, nobody seems to know exactly how, the variety became entirely lost, and 20 years elapsed before it re-appeared. When it did re- appear it was introduced into the trade in France by @ man named Granger. Where he got it is a mystery. fe called it by its original name, but claimed that it was an en- tirely new rose. Old growers, however, knew it was not new. It is universally admired; and now that we have learned far more than we used to know about the cultivation of this sort of roses, gardeners find it a profitable variety. It requires a great deal of heat all the time and It is diteutt to bring It into fine bloom unless it is humored in every Way. Nice produces finer Niphetos buds than are grown anywhere else, and has almost a monopoly of the supply for Paris, where they are popular. “But, you ask me how new roses are made. They are grown fromthe seed. Patient men with a mildly speculative bent of mind, in France and Germany, give their whole minds to it, and their work begins even betore the forma- tion ofthe seed. Toexplain: The large new roses—about which you, as I understand, par- ticularly wish to know—are technically Known as ‘hybrid perpetuals,’ and are crosses between, or descendants trom, the hardy June rose and certain varieties of the remontant roses. The Temontants are those commonly and Incorrectly known as monthly roses. They are not montiily, any more than thelr chtldren are perpetual. Their French name signifies remounting, or con- tinuing to ascend, and is given to them trom their habit of sending up new shoots and put- ting forth new bloom almost continuously through a great part of the year, without any definitely prescribed flowering’ season. The flower of one of those roses, a choice one, ripe, fully open, and perfectly developed, is used to impregnate another rose, also as perfect as can be selected of the’ hardier variety, and the seed from the impregnated flower is carefully saved and, in due time, sown. Acres upon acres the grower fills with the experimental plants that spring from these seeds, which occasionally reproduce the parent plants, but are far more likely to deyelop into an intinite number of varieties, good, bad and indifferent. These young plants have to be care- fully tended for three years before it Is known what they will be. Then, if the grower gets two or three new varieties that are really floe, he Is content, and if he obtains half a dozen he con- sider himself in great luck for getting 80 many out of 10,000 seedlings, to which he has given three years of patient care and skilful cultiva- tion. The remaining 9.004 are only brush, fit merely to burn. Sometimes, when they are all in bloom, he sees that he might just as well burn the whole 10,000, but that is exceptionally bad luck. He ought to vet one out of the lot, any . Suppose that he does—the work has just begun. In order to get back his investment in the experiment and make hing by it, he 000 or 10,000 plants ready to throw upon the market at once. Then he springs his new rose as a surprise upon the trade, and it commands good prices, like the Andre Schwartz, for instance, good plants of which at present bring #5 each. Ail these plants must be pro- duced from his one solitary little seedling. It has to be kept in constant heat In the green- house, its rapidly making new wood being snipped off and propagated as fast as possible, and the plants so produced being used to start others, and 30 on for two years betore the dis- coverer of the new rose can venture to say to the public, ‘How do you like my new beauty?” “But, even then, do not suppose that the subsequent cultivation of that rose fs all plain sailing. pany Toses that have been great suc- cesses in England and France have been entire failures over here, the great change in climatic conditions preventing their development. Very often they will not bloom at all here, or, if brought to flower, the result is so bad that it does not pay to cultivate them. But this can- not be determined until after two years of trial. No prudent gardener would discard a plant be- Cause it failed the first year. It must get accli- mated. Then the development of the second year may be just enough to encourage him to give it a third year’s trial, and, after all, it may turn out to be useless. Out of a hundred new varietles imported there will be hardly more than half a dozen worth cultivation in this country, or at least, in the eastern and middie states. But, if you want to know more about that subject, you had better consult Gabriel Marc of Woodside, who imports thousands of roses every: year, and what he and his son Charles do not know about rose growing, no- body in this country knows. He will not only give you achapter of disappointments, if you want it, but one of triumphs, and probably will tell you of some coming roses, so entirely new that even florists haye not yet been allowed to see them,” —_—_—_-..—______ ‘Tramp’s Tough Story. From the Louisville Commercial. “Iremember a wonderful case as came under my personal observation when I wuz ‘’traveli in east Tennessee, I struck one of them little mountain towns onetime when they wuz holding county court. Every man hada bottle of moon- shine, and they waz all feelin’ mighty happy. Finally they got a leetle bit too hilarious, and a fight sprang up betwixt a great big duffer and a leetle bit of a wiry feller. The big dutffer could ‘a eat the little feller up, clothes and all, but the first thing he done was to pull one of these old potsmetal knives and Juo the blade into the leetie feller’s neck. It went in right alongside the Juzular, and then it bent kinder around and under it. -When the big feller went to pull it ont he ripped the leetle feller’s jugu- lar right sqffare into, and you oughter seed the blood fly. It squirted about twenty-five feet. Asthe leetle feller dropped everybody in the crowd cried, ‘Oh, he’s a goner; his }} vein’s cut, and they expected to see him croak inside of three seconds; but there was one of them mountain doctors there, and to look at him you'd think he didn’t know a jugular vein from a trombone. ‘Stand back.’ said he: ‘give me a chance at him,’ and he elbowed his way through the crowd to where the leetle feller lay breathin’ his last.
