TIE PLANTING OF TREES.

Choose young, vigorous, healthy trees from the
nursery, free from wounds on the bark Having
removed the surface earth carefully, take them up
with their chple spread Qf roots. Half The trees
usually get their death wound in taking up. The
tap root, or that which penetratcs straight down,
may be shortened 10 about the length Of one foot,
and all dseas. d, broken, bruised parts and such
roots as each other must be pruned away with
sharp knife.
The holes should be dug as large as the rim Of a
cart wheel, six months, even year il convenient
before setting the trees Throw the top of the earth
into heap by itself; with spade and iron bar loo.
the soil eighteen inches deep, and throw out this
under bed Of earth into another heap. So large a
hole will afford space for the roots TO spread as good
TILED land, and the ground thus exposed to the
sun, RAIN, and !rost will mellow and sweeten by
which the growth OF the future tree will oe greatly
promoted.
The small, matted, .tbroas roots according to the
directions OF some, should be cut off, especially il
they become dry by exposure TO the wind and sun
as 10 tina. they would inevitably mould and de
cay. If removed, their place is soon supplied by

ways wanting moral courage. II is one oil the sad
effects ol our degradation, that man, made little lower

OF his passions, sinks still lower, and instead OF rising
by moral excellence, assimilaes himself to the spe

cannot be u better evidence o the want OF moral
courage than the engaging in duel. II may some.
times be, but is not always, proof OF animal cou
rage TO a certain extent but is always decisive evl
dence of the want Of moral courage. OF that cour-
age which enables man TO observe The law OF reason
and religion amidst the sneers OF levity, folly, and
ctiminaty. Such was the courage Of the Martyrs,
who cared little for their lives, every thing for their
virtue. Such is the courage OF the Patriots, who
care little lor themselves, every thing Tor their coun
try. But such is not the courage OF the being who
prefcrring his individual feelings to the laws OF God
and man, violates both and outrages common sense
for the qualification OF the name Of honor. " Young

the remarks then made and from the interest taken
in the subject slnce there is suppose that

The serious attention OF The national legislature The
various practices under the different and clashing
systems OF insolvency in those of the states where
such systems exist, and The successful evasions OF
justice in those states which have no such system,
call loudly for some we'll dgested law, which, while
secures to the creditors the property OF the debtor,
protects the latter from prosecution Such law is
wanted and we believe would now be as acceptable
