In the economy of vegetables, whena part
is denied growth by artificial or accidental
causes, other parts grow, thus the fruit buds
will grow, when the wood buds are removed
or placed horizontally, and vice versa. If the
root is cramped in apot, the plume will grow,
and when the vegetable isplaced in free room,
the roots grow to the disappointment of the
flower and top. But this is only in health
+ The effect of cultivation to promote early
growth, as well as Of grass, to prevent Trees
from shooting early, were very visible in the
following accidental experiment, viz: Two
trees (Elms) growing in poor ground, were
left in the ground, when successfully cultivat-
,ed-A was cultivated in Timothy whilst B was
left urploughed. The tree in A put forth per-
feet foliage one week before the tree in B.
afterwards B was MANFRED and cultivated in

den Dsafh.
BY BERNARD BARTON.
Thou didst not sink by slow decay,
Like some who live the longest;
But every tie was wrench'd away
Just when those ties were strongest.
A lot like thine may justly make
The sanguine doubt Tomorrow;
And in the heart of others wake
Alternate fear and sorrow.
Well may we fear; for who can think
On thee so lately living,
Loving and loved, and yet not shrink
With somewhat of misgiving!
Well may we mourn; for cold indeed,
As thine since death has found thee,
Must be the heart that does not bleed
For thee and those around thee.
How much was done in hours so few
Hopes withered, hearts divided
Guys, SIIclS, iONts, iGaiS, anu iSSiihSo Wv
Stern death at once decided.
With thee IT'S over there are some,
Who in mute CONSERVATION,
Fearflly shrink from hours to come,
OF heartfelt desolation.
While the dark tempest's horrors last,
We guess at evils round US
The clouds dsperse, we stand aghast-
Its rayages coniound US.
The thunder's roar, the lghtning's CLEAN,
Might seem vision only
But when we know we do not dream,
The stiffness o how lonely,
One hope in such an hour is left,
And may this hour reveal it
He who has thus of bliss bereft
The heart, has power to heal it.
Our dearest hopes He would not crush,
And pass unheeding by them,
Mo- bid our eyes with sorrow gush,
Unless his love could DR., them.
a bruised reed lie will not break,
But hearts that bow before him,
Shall own his mercy while they ache,
and gratefully adore Hin.
