the houses" in New York, but half after de-

SHADE OF TREES.

As trees are placed either naturally or
artifcially around the borders of fields APP
propriated to tillage, il is important that
The farmer should be apprized Of the diff
ferent effects which the shades of different
trees may have on certain plants, The
information on this subject is derived from
the certificate of Mr.. Livingston, Of New
York. esa nE .58 a9s
/ planted maize, says he, ON the west
side Of a yound wood, consisting OF oaks
poplars, q few chesnuts, and a large null
berry somewhat advanced into the field
The shade made by the rising sun extern
dcd nearly across the field, and was not
entirely off until about ten o'clock. re-
marked that as far as the shade Of the ches-
nut reached, the corn was extremely injur-
ed il war yellow and small. The conicai
shape of the morning shade, from particn-
lar trees, might be traced TO considerable
extent, ii the sickly appearances Of the
plants. Tire black oaks were likewise in
furious, but less SO than the chesnuts the
popIars very little so. Near the mulberry
tree the corn was covered by the shade for
"a long time every morniog, and though not
so, large as that which had more sun, MAIN
tanned healthy appearances.
He further remarks, that the shade Of
the black oak is particularly hnrtful TO the
growth Of wheat !: that Of the locust is, On
iho contrary, beneficial 10 grass grounds:
and that Of HE sugar maple does but very
little injury 10 the growth Of grain, and
none TO grass. s4'
From the observations respecting the of
fects of The shades of the sugar maple, the
mulberry, and locust, il might bS expedient
10 plant those trees around some fields de-
signed for pasture, grain OF meadow: es-

/ some. that is not advisable TO plant the lo-
Gust on The borders of'6elds. on account Of
their spreading too much. by scattering
i their leaves, unless on those which are
most barren. This objection, however,
il would seem, might be- obviated. when

the woman Petit, who was employed by
the French Police in watching the move-

The custom ofkissing tho ladies by their

crime that if thus detected, disgraced any

Kissing in the abstract, was nothing to

contact with them was concerned, on q par
with the lips of mummies. They kissed,
not as pleasure, but as solemn duty.

the fair sisterhood had been too free with
