 Method Of Gratt;ng on tbe large branch- es Of old trees---Mr. Malone, gardener of c. s. Fojambe, Esq. of Osberton house, Nottinghamshire, described, in commu- nication to the Secretary, plan he had a. doopted for grating on the large branches of old treess which he. denoniinates dove tail grafling. The scion-is selected so as -fo nave two or three buds above where the knife is to be inserted. To prepare 1t for the operation slit is cut of'th end of the scion. sloping' towards the bottom, and as long as it is decided to insert it into the stock. On each side of the cut, as far as it extends, part of the outer bark is ta- ken off, leaving the under part of the cut portion of the scion broader than the np- per part. The branch to be worked is thus prepared, being first cut off smooth and straight two parallel slits, distant from each other nearly the width ofthe prepar- ed scion, and the length fits cut part, are then made in the bark of the branch, Ob- serving particularly to slope the knife, So that the under edge of the wood may be wi- der than the outer edge. The piece of bark between the slits must then be taken; out, separating it at the bottom by a hori- zontal cut. The scion will slide into the dove-tail groove thus formed, and, if the work is we'll performed, will fit nearly and tightly. Two or three longitudinal slts should be made round the branch, to pre- vent the place into which the scionis fitted from opening as the bark dries. A small quantity of the grating clay should then be carefully applied ,,securing 1t on with a flannel or list bandage, the ends of which niay be fastened with small nails. The top of tho stock should be covered with clay, to secure it from wet, sloping it well up to. the gratis. The length of the part of the scion to be inserted into the stock. should be about an inch and a quarter, and, when preparing this part, there should bo bud left on the outside by this, union of the scion and stock is accelerated, and render ed more complete. When very large branches of trees arc to be grafteds three or four ssciops should be inserted, placing them at equal distances round the stock.- By this arrangement the sap will ascend e. qually on all sides, and every part of the stock will Do preserved from decay Hort;eaItaral SOciety's TTa'ssactions.

 London SoJ;tade.--In London any thing may be had for money; and ono thing may be had there in perfection without it, That oiie thing is solitude. Take up your abode in the deepest glen, or on the widest heath, lin the remotest province of the kingdom, where the din of com merce is not heard, andswhere the wheels of pleasure make no trace, even there hu- manity will find you, and sympathy, under some of it's varied aspects, will creep be- meath the humble roof. Travellers curi- osity will be excited t9. gaze upon the re- cluse, or the village pastor will come to of fer his religious cancellations to the heart- chilled solitary, ,or some kind spinster who is good to the poor, will proffar her kindly aid in medicine for sickness, or in some shape of relief for poverty. But in the mighty metropolis, where nyriads of human hearts are throbbing. where all that is busy in commerce, all that is elegant in manners, all that is mighty in power, all that is dag zttuB su Spso1Auts ult ptuS tS 0Attst0iit tu 6Ou~ < ius. an that is sbenevolent iu feeling, is scon- gregated together--thera the pennyless solitary may feel the depth of his solitude. From morn to night he may pensiyely pace the streets, envying every equipage that sweeps by him in its pride, and cove ting tho costs of the hnwashed arlifcer.-- And shere shall pass him in his walks poets lhat mnsically sing of human feeling, priests that preach the religion of mercy, the wealthy who pity the sorrows of the poor, tho sentimental wllose hearts are touched by the tale of woe---and mono of those shall heed him and hs may retire nl fieht Co his bedlees garrett. and sit cold and hungry, By his empty grale the world msay bs Busy and cheerful and noisy around hisl,, bat no sympathy shall reach him, his heart shall be dry as Gidson's fleece while she soflsuing dews 0f humanity are falling around him.
