Window Plants.

Creeping plants are not half enough used for house decoration. What can be prettier than a window with a pot in which scarlet tropteolum has been trained up a stake some six feet high on each side of it, the top ■ shoots of the plants brought across and attached to each other so as to form an arch ? Clematis can be so treated with advantage; it ought to grow to the desired height under the gardener’s care, and only be brought in when in full beauty, as the conditions of light and air in a dwelling house are generally against quickgrowing plants.— Exchange. Hope is a flatterer, but the most unright of all parasites; for she frequents the poor man’s hut as well as the palace of his superior.— Shenstone.
