This dignified reply struck me forcibly,

closely. The former, perceived by his
dress, was Of the nlisnamed higher class in

tive lad, scarce twelve years old, and
coarsely but scleverly alfred. But, young
as he was, there was visible IN his connte-
nance much Of genius, manly dignity, and
determinate resolution, while that of the
former showed only fostered pride and the
imagined superiority of riches.
That little fellow, thought we, gazing at
our young hero, displays already much of

and though poverty extend to him her drea-

found in judicious pruning. Those who
select straight upright growing trees, or
train them so by cutting off the horizontal
branches. with aview of gratifying the sight,
are often disappointed in their expectations
ofrealizing early or abundant crops offruit.
The alinleni which the roots take from the
soil and elabora,es by the leaves, goes
merely to increase the volume Of wood.-
A crooked tree, although less thrifty, gen.
orally produces earlier, and is more album
dant bearer, than a straight one. Fruit
trees growing wild ,.or which are neglected
To be pruned, are much less productive
than those which are cultivated, or Judi
ciously pruned. This is particularly re-
marked Of the grape, the currant aud the
gooseherry. The object Of the cul.ivator
shouldsbe, to give the branches Of his fruit
trees horizontal or oblique direction,
which causes somewhat of structure at
their intersection with the bole, and thus
retards the free descent Of the sap. This
is one object Of training trees to walls, that
their branches may be preserved in "a hor-
izontal or obliqne direction. And it is this
law in the vegetable economy which has
suggeased new mode oftraining, denom-
ina % qucnOille (distaf' form,) which is
doneby bending and tying the branches in
adrooping or inverted position. The. Pro-
lessor relates a case of a stone being sue
ccssfully placed in the crotch of tree,
which, by pressing against the vessels Of the
descending sap induced fruitfulness. Ii is
a good way to divcst fruit trees, at prop
er height, Of their leading shoots, and to
train them low and fiat. Forest trees, on
the contrary, where The object is ornament
or timber, require to be trimmed with a
straight clean bole, preserved, however, at
least one-third ofthe height in top, lest you
too much diminish the foliage-for leaves
make roots, and roots make leaves.
This trait in the vegetable, has a famil-
lar analogy in the animal economy. The
food that is consumed by the COW, is Sc
creted either in flesh or milk. If she is a
good mixer, she seldom takes on much
flesh, without extraordinary keep; and If
she grows remarkably in flesh, she is but
bad mixer. We cannot have abundance
of milk and meat from the COW, nor Of
wood and fruit from the tree. BY the way,
speaking of cows, recalls to my mind a con-
clusion which is the result ofsome observ-
alton and reflection, viz that taking into
account the expense of keeping and the
product, the little Dutch cows of New
York are superior to the improved breeds
on the score of profit, for dairy purposes.
| They arc probably of the true Holstein
stock, introduced with the first Dutch set
tiers from tho Fadcrland. Albany Argus.

Here we see the "usuaI respective pro- portions Tn the general charge and expendi. tureo referred to in the cession of Virginia as the ratio of benefits to be derived by tho several States from the ceded lands.
 Now, it was possible under the articles of confederation to pay to each State in monsy its due proportion of the proceeds of land sales, but it would have been useless to do so, because they would have had to pay it back again in another shape. By their go- ing into the "common Treasury" each State would receive the same ratio of bene- it by diminution of the quota to be raised by her; and that such was understood by all parties to be the mode, and the oniy mode, in which the common benefit was to be real. lzed, there IS abundant evidence. Inde- pendent of variety of declarations, both by the States and Congress, the single fact that all rules made or proposed to be made under the old confederation, were for tho benefit of the 'common Treasury and not oi the several State Treasllries, IS conclu- sive of the understanding of the parties at the time.
 But even the possibility of making dis tribution of the common benefits of the land sales according to the rule laid down in the acts of cession in any other mode than by paying the proceeds into the common Trea- snry, was taken away by the adoption of the Constitution. This instrument abolish- ed the quota system of the confederation, and for the supply of the common Treasu- ", vested in Congress, without the aid or interference of the State Legislature, the power

 Farther uiolotions of fthe compacts of cession.
 In our last number we showed that NIT. Clay's Bill, instead of being in execution of the compacts of cession begins with a pal pable u,oiafaon of one of their fundamental conditions.
 We shall now show, that in other re- spects, 1t Is equally in derogation of those compacts os understood by doth portieS at tts tame of their execution.
 After unceremoniously giving away in it's first section, one-eighth of the net proceeds of the sales of public lands, the Bill pro- ceeds thus to dispose of the balance in its second section, viz:
 ".9nd be it furtfer enacted, That after deducing the said twelve and half per centum, and what by the compacts afore- said, has heretofore been allowed to the States aforesaid, the residue of the net pro- ceeds of the public lands of the United States, wherever situated, which shall be sold subsequent to the said thirty-first day of December, shall be divided among the twenty-four States of the Union, according to their respective federal representative po- pulation, as ascertained by the last census, to be applied by the Legislatures of the said States, to such purposes as the Legislatures of the said respective States shall deem proper: Prorided, That nothing herein contained shall be construed to the preju- dice of future applications for the reduction of the price of public lands, or to the pre- judice of application for transfer of the public lands on reasonable terms, to the States within which they lie, nor to impair the power of Congress to make such future disposition of the public lands or any part thereof as it may see fiji"
 Not content with giving one-eighth of the proceeds of the lands to fewof the States, without the least regard to "the common benefit" the bill in this section, totally dis- regards the rule of distribution of tite re- mainisg ssuen-eighths prescribed by Me compacts of cessiol, and prouides q new onel The rule prescribed by the compacts di- rects, that the common benefit shall be shared by the several States, according to their usual respective proportions in the general charge and expenditures" but this section of the bill provides that the money shall be divided "according to their respec- tive federal representative population. ."- Here, therefore, Is as palpabie violation

 Indeed, the ground may be boldly as4 stunned and invincibly maintained, that by this bill, the compacts with the States by which alone the United States became the owner of all the Public Lands east of tho Mlsslsslppi, are entirely abrogoted. fit were private transaction, and the grantee of property were so utterly to disregard, and so flagrantly violate the conditions of the grant, Court of Equity would set it aside altogether, and restore the property to the gfantor.
 As we understand the motive and condi- tons of the sessions made by the different states, II never entered into the conception of either of the parties, that the States, in ther separate characters, were ever to re- ceWe back from the United States, either tqS ci2ands granted, or any portion oi ,heir 1ss-ss-s sfss 4ho s.s .fal tso- yernnent and the several States n 10 these sessions, as we'll under the Confeds eration as the new Constitution. ev;nces. that the States were expected to be benefit ted not by receiving lands for money from the United States, but by c reelection of'fhc ehdrSes or tares upon them for the payment of the public debt, and accomplishing the objects of the Union. Indeed. the r,le prescribed Tn the grants for governing the distribution of the common benefit, is in- compatible with any other conclusion.
 When the grant of Virginia was made. tho Articles of Confederation were the fi,n- dainental law of the United States. Tho eighth article of that instrument was in the following words, viz:
 All charge of war, and all other expen- ses that shall be incurred for the common defence and general welfare, and allowed by the United States in Congress assem- bled, shall be defrayed out of a common Treasury, which shall be supplied by the several States in proportion to the value of all land within each State granted to or sur- veyed for any person, as such land and the buildings and improvements thereon shall De estimated according to such mode as the United States in Congress assembled l shall from time to time, direct and appoint.
 "Ihe taxes for paying that proportion shall be laid and levied by the authority and direction of the Legislature of the several States within the time agreed upon by the united States m Congress assembled.u Under this provision, it was the practice of Congress, first to ascertain the gross a. mount which 1t was desirable to raise by taxation, and then to divide 1t among the States according to the value of their lands respectively, informing each of the amounts which it became it's duty to raise for the service of the United States.
 After being raised by the States, it was rait: iii;o tine common Treasury, and thence dlsbursed under the authority of Congress. In page 457 of the Journals of Congress, vol, 3, is found the following apportionment of Sl0,oo0,0 900 among the several States,
