m ppoMorE THE GROWTH OF TREES.

TO PROMOTE THE GROWTH OF TREES.
 Some separate the dry bark of fruit and forest trees to promote their growth, and prevent the bark binding too much. This dis6gures the tree, making seams in the trunk, and makes it grow in angles. The best way is, when the sap is forced up, by the warmth of spring, to scrape off the scaly particles of the dead bark, and wash the trees repeatedly during the week with soap suds, &c. Trees of considerable age will then have youthful appearance, be more thrifty, and in the case of fruit trees' the fruit will make more cider, than that grown on scurvy, moss growth trees.
 = Put einders, bones, and stones. about the roots of pear trees; it will increase their growth one third, and save them from the blight Gennessee Farmer.

 Our sighs for thse--the early dead! 1vI, ,vesp for thee? Thy cares are OCT, Forgotten now in yOn bright skies; zHv bark has reach'd its destined shore' And lies, safe moOr'd, in Paradise. Why weep for thee ? ThOu'st only shared The smiles of youths most summer cline If short thy course, thou hast been spared The heightened risks and storms oi tune; And fla cloud e'er stirr'd, to throw A shadow o'er the sunny day, ,rwas like a tear of infant woe,
 Scarce seen, ere charm'd by smiles away. Then let us not shed tears for htee,
 But check the vain and selfish flow; Thou shouldst a cause of emry be,
 To struggling nortals here below. Then be the tomb with roses twined, And be thy grave with lilies spread; Let's weep for those who're left behind, But not for Mee--the happy dead!

 into the avenue at the side of my desk, and faced the Speaker. The gentleman from Massachusetts has the floor, cried the Speaker. Then an awful silence ensued. I bIushed, panted, and choaked, for l

VALUABLE MEDICINE.

THE EXTENSIVE DEMAND FOR Anderson's Cough Drops and Pectoral Founders A S prepared by James Melen & Go. have enabled A them to reduce the price very much; and from an extensive for years pas they have proved to be one the valuable remedies ever yet dscoS- cred for the Coughs, Colds and other affections of the breast and lungs leading to Consumptions:-- Thousands have experienced the happy effects ot tIs Heong Batsam, some of whom have given certificates that will satisfy every unpreudiced mind that the most unexpected cures have been performed by the use ot tbem where the sklfu Physicians had given them up as hopeless. It is not pre'ended that they cure |" all cases but there few of Coughs or even seated Consumptions but may he relieved by timely use of this Healing Basam.

 Also, the unexpected relief obtained by Mrs. Hunt ington, of Ashford, whO much reduced that her
 life was despaired of; but ~ho, from the use of these drops for short time, restored 10 health, to be enabled to do good days work.

F. was originally from Boston, and lived, on his return from his voyages, with an old maiden aunt at Salem, whom he was wont to call Aunt Cot Betty, from the circumstance of her always sleeping in a cot bedstead. Aunt Cot Betty requested him on his return from one of his voyages to bring her home poll parrot. F-
 promised faithfully SO to do; but like the payment of tailor's bill it was unheeded. The first words the old lady uttered on his landing were, "Well, Fergy, Fergy, my dear boy, how do you do-so glad to see you; you've got the parrot, Fergy, heh :" " Oh yes, aunty, elegant one, bring him home tomorrow" Early next morning, Fergy ransacked all Salem for parrot, but in vain-good fortune, however, threw in his way an owl; the substitution of that for the parrot was so sooner thought of than agreed upon, no sooner agreed upon than purchased, and next day transferred to an elegant tin cage, wherein the midnight philosopher was duly ensconced. Aunt Betty had it hung up in the stoop, and with anxious expectation listened for the first attempts of its loquacious powers, but no voice greeted her. When Fergy came home to dinner, aunty began, We'll, Fer gy, boy, it's very pretty parrot; but, dear me! Fergy, it wont talk" Well, aunty, when I bought it, they told me it did't soy much, but it was capital fellow for think- ing 7"
