So susceptible is the novelist to the very breath of the time.

A correspondent writing from Sioux City, Iowa. says : Particulars of the destruction by the floods in Dakota continue to arrive. and it is not too much to say that the people are absolume destitute. and need immediate assistance to keep them from starving to death. A correspondent writing from Yankwn sa s. in reference to one of the sufi'erers (an the case given is only a s imen of hundreds of a like nature): Opt:m the day of the break-u a Mr. Hanson got uneasy. but seems to ave lost time in trying to save his stock. so that he and his hired man had to take a boat. and therein carried his wife and children to Mr. Larison’s house. which stood on a little higher ground than his own. The men then returned for old Mrs. Larison. who was so feeble as to require assistance. Scareely had they entered the house ere they fe t it moving under them. Terror-stricken. they ran to the window to find themselvesin the centre of a moving. crashing mass of ice and flood, steadily going down the river. 0f the terrors of that dark ride. who shall speak. The reverberating detonations of the huge blocks of ice. as. forced into the air. they fall again. grinding all beneath them into powder, the almost absolute certainty that in a few moments at best the house would give way and leave them struggling in the throes of the gorge, the agonizing fears the husband and father must have felt as to the fate of those left behind. whom he had no reason to suppose would escape. all made up a situation as terrible as any of Jules Verne's harrowing imagination. But the staunch logs. fastened together by large wooden pins. held firm. and seven miles below Vermilion. fifteen from the starting point. the ark of safety found an Ararat and rested,if not on dry ground, at least on some motionless foundation. Forcing open the back door. fancy Hanson’s astonishment at finding quietly chewing _her end and standing securely on a huge block of ice the favorite family cow. who had shared the rils of the awful journey. and to-day ive and well in Vermilion. Hanson and his man. after a perilous jdurney over the newlyâ€" formed ice. suweeded in making their way to Vermilion. carrying old Mrs. Larison with them most of the way. Meanwhile. those left behind in Larison’s house had. really suffered more, though not in appar- ently so much danger. for the house stood firm. A couple of brothers named,Weeks. who live about four miles north of Vermilion. volunteered to go to Larison‘s in a yawl. if possible. and learn the fate of those left there. After much danger and difficulty they reached the spot, finding all alive, though sadly distressed. Mrs. Hanson‘s feet were frozen solid. All had lived for two days on raw chickens. the fowls having been driven by fear into the house. Had not help arrived when it did death must have seen ensued. These incidents. and the particulars I have given. rest upon undoubtedly authentic reports. I could multiply similar stories infinitum. All the information I can get tends to confirm the belief that the area of greatest suffering is embraced in the bottom lands between a point a few miles this side of Vermilion. and thence northwestward to a few miles above Yankton. From the mouth of the Niobrara to Pierre there are accounts of heavy losses. but no actual destitution. Help is much needed by the poorer classes.

Mr. Gaston. proposes to dam t e Nile at the cataracts. and subject about 800.000 acres of land. which is now desert. to the influence of its fertilizing waters. This is a stupendous undertaking, but it is beyond a doubt that the Present rapids are produced by the debris o ancient works of this description. which are now strewn on the bed of the stream. and. from an an i- neering point of view. the work would perfectly feasible. The inundation would then be under complete control, while the com any which should carry out the work wou d be reimbursed by the lands allotted to it out of nearly a million acres. which would now, for the first time. be brought under cultivation.

Third, verbenasâ€"A scarlet and sweet- scented whiteâ€"if no more. If more, a warm pink and fragrant purple. Put the verbenas in the middle of your tiny bed, and let them alone. Remember, they like a sandy soil, and are as averse to water as your favorite kitten. Let the sun shine on them ; keep them clear of encroaching neighbors; out off all the flowers, not even permitting one to go to seed; and they will be the wonder of yourself and everybody else that sees them. Fourth, a heliotropeâ€"A small plant that you can buy for five or ten cents will make a surprising growth before frost comes. A wee cutting, set out by Mrs. Downs, last spring, covered a circle four feet in diame- ter by the middle of August. Never tie up a heliotrope. Let it lie on the ground, and beware of dosing it with fertilizers. Fer- tilizers make strong plants, with lots of fine foliage, but the flowers do not open well, and the clusters are small. uNow. if you can comp-.39 a pink to».- rose and a saffron one. you will have all that I should feel unhappy about if I did not have them, but I should try hard for a solid yellow, and a. lustrous. purple pansy." Roses need rich soil. You can make it rich with liquid manure water. Watch the bugs, which are death on roses. Next. mignionette â€" Some think this capricious. not growing for everybody. and it has even been called “ aristocratic." But. in truth. it deserves its French name of “ poor man’s darling.” One great cause of failure with this and other seeds is that they are buried too deeply. It should be scattered on top of the ground and a little fine, loose earth sifted lightly over it. Thus treated the likelihood is that it will come up too thickly. and need thinning. If it does, pull out the weaker plants as soon as they can be got hold of. Mrs. Downs is enthusiastic over the mignionette. It is ever blooming and unfailing. be the season what it may. When her garden is planted she sows it in all vacant spaces, among the beets, beans and cabbages even. She keeps it in all the rooms of the house, in vases by itself, in pots with sweet peas, and where- ever she can find aplaee forit. She thinks a desert island would seem homehke if she had the company of half a dozen mignion~ ette plants. The practical hints given by this lady maybe summarized as follows: Almost any soil will do if it be loose. with a sunn exposure. Richness is not demanded ; in tact. many of the most desirable flowers thrive better in rer quarters. It should bewell spsded; ut the plants essential to a desirable show of blooms will do with a meagre stirring of the soil, such as s woman can achieve. Now for the plants : First, sweet peasâ€"They need scarce any care. will bloom early and late, even till frost comes. while their beauty, grace and odor are beyond question.

The time-honored truth which it brings out so forcibly, and endows thh immortality, cannot be too firmly im teased upon the minds of the youngâ€"and t e old: The lady has enjoyed a fair degree of connubial bliss, barring a shooting afi'ray some months ago. A rumor came to her ears that her first love was not dead, as had been supposed, but that he had been seen by several parties in the western states. She determined to ascertain if the reports were authentic, being advised that under Canadian laws a lapse of seven years would not constitute separation, and although Patterson beseeched her to leave the mat- ter unexplored, still the lady persisted in her determination to find out the facts. With this object she addressed communi- cations to various postmasters throughout the western states. specifying the name of her first husband and asking if the post- master lmew of any such man. Reply after reply was received in the negative. and Mrs. Patterson or Abbott regained some degree of assurance, but at last all her hopes were dashed to the earth by the receipt of a letter from a small place in Kansas, stating that the long lost Abbott is living there. The perplexed lady at once despatched relatives thither to earn the truth of the matter, and will institute pro~ ceedings against Abbott for divorce in the American courts. Meanwhile, on Sunday last she separated from Patterson, resum- ing also her former name.--St. Thomas Times. ported herself and family. "In the fol- lowing yearâ€"being about ten years since â€"the couple separated by mutual consent, the lady taking the children, while her spouse agreed to depart. Abbott adopted Horace Greelev’s advice and went west, nothing being heard of him for some- time ; but finally rumors became circu- lated that death'had claimed her husband, and upon instituting diligent inquiries the wife obtained tidings. which were considered of a most reliable character, that Abbott was dead. The lady was still in the prime of life, and aftera suitable periodof mourn- ing for the deceased partner of her joys and sorrows, her thoughts turned towards the desirability of replacing her lost spouse. At length she formed the acquaintance of John L. Patterson, and the chance acquaintance ripened into intimacy. Although almost absolutely certain that her former husband was no more, Mrs. Abbott says she deemed it advisable to consult a legal gentleman, who assured her that in any event after a husband had left his family and not been heard from for seven years the wife might consider herself released from the bonds of wedlock and at perfect liberty to contract another alliance. Accordingly, about two years since, she married Patterson at Buffolo, and the couple have since resided in this city. _ Upwards of thirty years Have elapsed since. in the state of New York, Sylvester .1.

About thirteen years ago the lady paid a visit to some friends in the vicinity of Aylmer, and be- came so enamored of this Canada of ours that she purchased a residence in this city, and soon after removed here with her hus- band and family. Abbott entered into the hop-growing industry. but as domestic bliss did not appear to be congenial to his spirits he left the management of his business to a partner, who subsequently purchased the property. After remaining in this city for about a month. Abbott returned to New York state, and although occasionally visit- ing his wife, spent the greater part of his time on American soil.
