PEACH TREES.
Uash. Reh.

The attack Of worm on the Peach Tree,
appears to be general from Georgia to Maine,
and very few trees have escaped this destruc-
tive grub. All seem to agree, that the insect
which, produces the worm deposits its eggs
on the tree, at, or near the root. Various
have been the methods taken to prevent the
attack Of The worm, which is generally made
just above the ground.--Some have bound
straw, tow, and other articles about the tree,
and some have placed boxes around their
trees. ten or twelvet inches deep, flied with
sand during the time the insect deposits its
eCgs These are removed as soon as tho
frost set in 50 that the worm when hatchcd
cannot reach the ground before it is destroy
cd by the frost. These remedies have been
successful in most cases but the care, trou-
bic and expense attending them, render
them unfit for large orchards or planta-
tons. / would inform the public, that the
worms may be extirpated or rendered inoi-
fensivc, BY incculating on the wild cherry or
persimmon tree, stocks, instead Of the peach.
The stocks should be left is o. 20 inch
es long the peach viii grow on them The
experiment was made lastyear. The stocks
arc proof against the peach worm, and arc in
great plenty. IS the worm cannot live ~
bove ground, think the remedy will be COM

CHAPTER T.
oyCthe method in general.

ne method has tendency Co unite all the
elementary expedients whereby tho power OF
The human mind may be nfolded in the most
material manner.
It is the result of profound reflections,
made by It's author on the walk of nature,
from the moment the child opens his eyes to
the light and begins already to JON to-
get,ler the materials which are TO serve as
the basis for a compiete edidcc Of Is kncwl-
edge.
These primitive materials are furnished
him by the impression be receives from exte-
rior objects; aud here it viii be difficult 40
form an idea OF the different sensations the
child may gather and retam with scarce any
assistance from art
OF a truth, this crowd of Things, which pre-
sent themselves 10 him on every hand, form,
az the first rncment, in his weak brain, a re-
al chaos; bat. insensiby the impressions
produced by the objects which return the Of
tenest, acquire more consistency little by lit
tic he learns 10 understand, 10 smell, To taste,
TO touch, he learns above all to see present.
" he no longer pats objects epon one and
the same footing; he begius 70 form TO him
self an idea of their distance, of their size.
and &C their number. At the same time
nc perceiYes the necessity Of importing to
others what he has proved, and the or
gan ofspecch not preventing him, he endca-
vors TO give names toerery surrounding OBJ
jcct. With the aid Of the signs Of Language,
his sensations daily acquire a greater pre-
cisiou; because, discovering each day new
properties in the objects which fall un-
der lis notice, language furnishes him, at thc
same time, with new and particular demo-
mination to each cf these properties. At
length, these first Impressions, produced by
tho objects existing IN nature, unfold in MS
seal tiic faculty Of applying himself to more
enlarged operations.
Ipsebsibly, he no longer needs the presence
of the object to be sensible oft by a simple
act Of his will, his imagination retraccs IL.
his memory recalls It; he sees it with the
eyes Of bis understanding, hc can trace It's
form, and determine is proportions hecorl-
parcs, he judges, and he reascns--hc is no
