Repotting: Plant*.
Parlor gardening is becoming each year
more necessary as a pleasant adjunct to
home life. It is also tne especial province
of tlie ladies of the household. The follow
ing directions from "Breck's New Book of
Flowers" is orthodox in every respect:
To ascertain if a plant wants fresh pot
ting, turn it carefull out of the pot, with
the earth attached to it, and examine ihe
roots. If they are matted about the sides
and bottom of the ball, the plant evidently
requires fresh potting. Then carefully re
duce the ball of earth to about a third of
its original bulk, single out
the matted roots, and trim
away all that are mouldy and de
cayed. Probably the same pot may then
be large enough, but if it requires a larger
one, it should be about two inches broader
for a middle-sized plant; three or four for
a large plant. If the roots are not mat
ted, but tlie pot is filled with fibres, keep
the ball entire and carefully plant it in a
larger pot. At the top of a large pot an
inch and of a small one half an inch should
be left for the reception of water without
danger of overflow. A little gravel, char
coal, or pieces of broken pots should al
ways be placed at the bottom for drain
age.
A plant newly potted must never be ex
posed to a strong sun. It should be watered
and placed in the shade immediately, and
there remain till it is rooted, which may be
known by its starting to grow.
The Book of Thanks.—"l feel so
vexed and out of temper with Ben," cried
Mark, "that I really must —"
"Do something in revenge V" inquired his
cousin, Cecilia.
"No; look over my Book of Thanks."
"What's that?" said Cecilia, as she
saw him turning over tbe leaves of a copy
book nearly full of writing, in a round
text hand.
"Here it is," said Mark, then read
aloud:
" 'March 8. Ben lent me his hat.'
"Here again : 'Jan. 4. When I lost my
shilling, Ben made it up to me kindly.'
Well," observed the boy, turning down
the leaf, "Ben is a good boy, after all."
"What do you note down in that book?"
said Cecilia, looking over his shoulder with
some curiosity.
"All the kindnesses that are ever shown
me ; you would wonder how many they
are. I find a great deal of good from
marking them down. Ido not forget them,
ac I might do if I only trusted to my
memory, so I hope that I am not often un
grateful ; and when I am cross or out of
temper, I almost always feel good-humor
ed again if I only look over my book." —
New Jerusalem Messenger.
"Is it Wicked to Read Fiction?"
Mr. Beecher, in the Christian Union,
thus answers the question: "Thatdepends.
We never knew of a man's receiving seri
ous moral or intellectual injury from read
ing the Parables of Christ, the 'Pilgrim's
Progress,' or Milton's 'Paradise Lost.'
Some of the truest books ever written have
yet been fictitious in form. If by fiction
you mean such books as 'Adam Bede,' or
'John Halifax,' or 'Robert Falconer,' we
do not think reading fiction an unpardona
ble sin, nor, indeed, an offense. But if by
fiction you refer to such fiction as one- finds
in dime "novels, the lower order of Sunday
school books, fulsome religious biographies,
and the campaign lives of public men, we
have no hesitancy in saying that it is a
great waste of time and attention, and
frequently injurious to morals to read
them."
Not new, but the same may be said of
numerous other sums and conundrums in
tended to tax the wits of rising genera
tions. Two travellers paused in their
journey to dine. One of them furnished
five loaves, the other three. A third trav
eller came along and asked to join them,
promising to pay for his share. They all
ate the same quantity, and disposed of all
the loaves. Tne third member of the party
put down, when he left, eight pieces of
money. How were they divided between
the other two ? Those who already know
the correct answer will please keep it to
themselves.
111-Temper.—A single person of sour,
sullen temper,—what a dreadful thing it is
to have such a person in a house! There
is not myrrh and aloes and chloride of
lime enough in the world to disinfect a
single home of such a nuisance as that;
no riches, no elegance of mien, no beauty
of face, can ever screen such persons from
utter vulgarity. There is one thing which
rising persons hate the reputation of more
than all others, and that is vulgarity ; but,
trust me, ill-temper is the vulgarest thing
that tbe lowest born and illest bred can
ever bring to his home. It is one of the
worst forms of impiety. Peevishness in a
home is not only sin against the Holy
Ghost, but sin against the Holy Ghost in
the very temple of love.— Theodore Par
ker.
"Pleasant words are as the honey,
comb," says the wise man. How natural,
then, that children, with their proverbial
appetite for sweets, should like them. A
late popular writer on education argues
that this appetite of the child is healthful,
and should be .gratified. Whether that is
strictly true or not, we may safely assert
that this equally natural desire for pleasant
words should he often gratified.

Department, also post office blanks, mail bags,
locks and keys, are to be conveyed without extra I
charge.
3. "Waybills" or receipts prepared by post
masters, or other agents of the Department, will '
accompany the malls, specifying the number I
and destination of the several bags, to be ex
amined by the postmasters, to insure regularity
in the delivery of bags, and pouches. -\
4. No pay will be made for trips not per
formed; and for each of such omissions, if the
failure be occasioned by the fault of the contrac
tor or carrier, three times the pay of the trip '
will be deducted. For arrivals so far behind
time as to break connection with depending
malls, and not sufficiently excused, one-fourth of J
the compensation for the trip if subject to for
feiture For repeated delinquencies of the kind
herein specified, enlarged penal ues, proportioned
to the nature tbe eof, and the Importance of the g
mall.may be made.
a. For leaving behind or throwing off the malls,
or any portion of them, for the admission of .
passengers, or for being concerned in setting up '
or running nn express conveying Intelligence in
advance of the mail, a quarter's pay may be
deducted. \
6. Fines will be Imposed, unless the delinquen
cy be promptly and satisfactorily explained by
certificates ol postmasters or the affidavits of
other credible poisons, for failing to arrive In (
contract time; for neglecting to take the mad
from, or deliver it Into, a post office ; for suffer
ing It to be wet, injured, destroyed, robbed, or i
lost; and for refusing, after demand, to convey
the mill as frequently as the contractor runs, or
is concerned in running, a coach, car, or steam
boat on a route.
7. The Postmaster General may annul the
contract for repeated failures to run agreeably
to contract; for violating the post office laws, or
disobeying the instructions of the Department; _
for refusing to discharge a carrier when teqiared "
by the Department to do so ; for running an ex
press as afor> said ; or for transporting persons
oi packages conveying mailable matter out of
the mail.
8. The Postmaster General may order an In
crease of service on a route by allowing there
for mpro rata increase on the contract pay. He
may change schedules of departures and arri
vals In all cases, and particularly to make them
conform to connections with railroads, without
Increase of pay, provided the running time be
not abridged. The Postmaster General may
nlso discontinue or curtail the service, in whole
or In part, In order to place on the route superior
service, or whenever the public interests, in his
judgment, shall require such discontinuance or
curtailment for any other cause; he allowing as I
full Indemnity t • conti actor one month's extra I
pay on the amount of service dispensed with, I
and a pro rata compensation for the amount of
service retained and continued.
9. Payments will be made by collections from, '
or drafts on, postmasters or otherwise, after the I
expiration of each quarter—say In November,
February, May, a«d August provided that re
quired evidence of service has been received. I
10. The distances given are believed to be sub
stantially correct; but no Increased pay will be
allowed should ihey be greater th -n advertised, I
If the points to be supplied are correctly stated. '
Bidders must inform themselves on this point, and '
also In reference to the weight of the mail, tie I
condition of hills, roads, streams, _c, and all '
toll-bridges, turnpikes, plonk-roads, ferries, or
obstructions of any kind by which expense may
be incurred. No claim lor additional pay, based I
on such ground, con be considered; nor for olleg. '
Ed mistakes or misapprehension as to the degr c
of service; nor for bridges destroyed, ferries dis
contlnned, or other obstructions causing oi lv- '<
creasing distance or expen-e occurring during
the contract term. Offices established after this
advertl ement is issued, and also during the con
tract terra, areio be visited without extra pay, If
tbe distance be not increased.
11. Bidders are cautioned to mall their propo- '■
sals in time to reach the Department by the day '
and hour named (3p m., March 3, 1873). for bids
received after time will not be considered in core -
petition with bids, of reasonable amount, re
ceived In time. Neither can bids be considered
which are without the guarantee required by
law, and a certificate of the sufficiency of such
guarantee, and the oath of the bidder according
to section 246, act of June 8, 1872.
12. I idders should first propose for service
strictly according to the advertisement, and
then, if they desire, separately for different serv
ice; and If the regular bid be the lowest offered
for the advertised service, the other propositions
may be considered.
18. There should be but one ronte bid for In a
proposal. Consolidated or combination bids
("pr posing one sum for two or more routes")
cannot be considered.
14. The route, the service, the yearly pay, the
name and residence of the bidder (that Is Us
usual post-office address i, and tbe name of each
member of a firm, wheie a company offers,
should be distinctly stated.
lft. Bidders are requested to me, ns far as
practicable, the printed proposals furnished by
the Departrment, to write out in full the sum of
their bids, and to retain copies of them.
Altered bids should not be submitted; nor
should bids once submitted bi< withdrawn. No
withdrawal ot a bidder or guarantor will be
allowed unless the withdrawal Is received twen
ty-four hours previous to the time fixed foropen
ing the proposals.
Each bi I must bo guaranteed by two respon
sible persons. The bid and guarantee should be
signed plainly with the full name of each per
son.
The Postmaster General reserves the right to
reject any bid which may be deemed ex rava
g-nit . audal o to disregard tho bids of fating
contractors and bidders. (Act of Juno 8,1872,
section 249.)
18 I'be hid should be sealed, superscribed
"Mall Proposals, Stare of ," addressed
'•Second Assistant Postmaster f'fenenl, Con
tract Office," and sent by mail, not by or to an
agent. Bids of $6,000 per annum and
upward must lie accompanied by a cer-
Ufled check or draft on some solvent
national bank, equal to 6 per cent, of the
amount. (See law of Congress of June 8, 1872.)
17 The contracts art to be executed and returned
to the Department by or before 'he \St dny of June,
1873. otherwise, the accepted bi'liler will be consid.
ered as having failed, and the Postm isfsr General
may proved to contract for the service with other
parties, according to law.
Transfers of c .nt'acts, or of interests in con
tracts aro forbidden bylaw, anil conse inanity
cannot be allowed. Neither can bicU, or inter
ests in bids, no transferred or assigned to other
parties Bidd-rs will therefore take notice that
they will be expected to perform the service
awarded to them through tne whole contract
term.
18 Section T49 of the act of June S. 1572, pro
vides that contracts for the transportation ol
the mail shall be "awarded to the low- st b dder
tendering sufficient guarantees for faithful per
formance, without other refere cc to the mods
of such transportation than may ho necessary to
provide for the due celerity, certainty and secu
rity thereof." Under this law bids hat p opose
to transport, the mails with "celerity, ce'-tatnty.
and security," having b-en decided to be the only
legal bids, a', c construed as providing for the en
tire mail, however large, and whatever may be the
mode of conveyance necessary to insu-e ds ' cc
lerity, certainty, and security." and ha M the pref
erence, over all others, and no others ai c consid
ered, except for steamboat routes
19. A modification of a bid tn any of its essen
tial terms Is tantamount to a new bid, and can
not be received, so as to interfere with regular
competition. Making anew bid, with guarantee
and certificate, is the only way to modify a pre
vious bid.
2-i. Postmasters are to be careful not to certify
to the sufficiency of guarantors without knowing
that they are persons of sufficient responsibility.
(See section 247, act of June 8,167/ ) They must
notsign the certificate until the sum of the bid is
inserted, and the bid and guarantee aro signed
by the bidder and (two) guarantors; a disregard
of this instruction by postmasters will subject them
lo immediate removal, and to severe penalties.
Postmasters are also liable to dismissal from
office for acting as agents of contractor.- or bid
ders, with or without compensation, in any busi
ness, matter, or thing, relating to the mall ser
vice. They are the trusted agents of the Depart
ment, and cannot consistently act in both capa
cities
21. All bidders, guarantors, and sureties are
distinctly notified that on a failure to enter Into
or perform the contracts for the service proposed
for in the accepted bids, their legal liabilities will
be enforced against them.
22 Present contractors, and persons known
at the Department, must, equally with others,
procure gurantors and certificates of their suffi
ciency substantially in the forms above pre
scribed. The certificate of sufficiency must be
signed by a postmaster.
