flower-pot holder should prove a very great treasure.

It is to be made in china, and very prettily decorated, and its novelty
consists in the plan of making it with an upper and lower chamber.

The upper part holds the flower-pot, and the lower collects the water that
trickles through the pot, and keeps it away from the roots of the flower,
thus preventing the plant from standing in water and rotting.

[Illustration]

The upper and lower portions are connected by a perforated grating,
through which the water is carried off.

LETTERS FROM OUR YOUNG FRIENDS.


We have to acknowledge a great number of letters this week; so many,
indeed, that want of space prevents publishing them all.

From the Dartmouth Street School, Worcester, we have three letters.

Etta H., Annie H., and Roy R. have sent us delightful little notes,
telling us how much they enjoy THE GREAT ROUND WORLD.
