THE DYING WIFE.

And must die!
I must pass away from the beautiful earth,
Where the roses bloom and the birds have brill
Ere the rude worlds blight DER my spirit has blown
Ere the music Of life has lost one tone;
As the dew-drop swept from the aspen spray,
With the summers breath, | must pass away
The maiden laughs in the sunny glade!
All why doth she Taught Her joys must fade.
All that is dearest to her, are mine,
All that is brightest, on me now shine;
There Is ioy for me still in the emoneay d bower,
Where the mockng-b bird sits, in the husicd night hour
There's Joy for me still in the iestal throng,
In the may dance, and the sparkling song;
There IS flush in my cheek, light in mine eye,
And my heart beats warm-but must diel
must leave them now!
i must pass from the home of my childhood's mirth,
And my place shall be mourned by my fathers hearth.
His hair is white and his eye is dim
And who shall now speak Of the glad earth to him
And who shall now pour his time-dulled ear,
The olden lay that he loved to heart
He will sit and pine in his dwelling lone,
For was his ALL and shall be gone.
There is one my heart hath tendcrer claim!
I have taught my sofl child to lisp his name;
On his faithful breast when my head is laid,
] forget am dying-my pain is stayed.
I trust to his words, on hope he dwells,
But the pale lip mocks wha, the fond heart tells;
The cold drops stand on his manly brow
Oh God must | leave-must leave him nowl
will come againl
! will come again, in the twilight gloom,
When the sad wind walls DER my lowy tomb;
When the shade IS in the bower and The in the sky
The early-lovcd scenes will wander by;
! will pass by the hall Of the glad and gay,
For they shall laugh on, though my smile he away;
Where the aged man weeps, my breath shall be there's
will come to my child at her young voiced prayer:
When lovely she kucels by her fathers side,
His gaze resting on her, his darling and pride.
With dark ming shade should his brow be crossed,
As his thoughts are aiar with the loved one LOST
| will live in her form, will speak in her eve,
! will steal from his lip the hall. brealhed sigh
With her silyery voice, will sooth his pain,
l will whisper his heart, Il am come again!'

THE PEACH TREE.


From a desire to encourage the culture o
the reach tree; we oiIer the following as the
result of experiments and observation.
II is generally known that worms near the
surface of the earth, destroy them by eating
the bark; the object is therefore TO lind pre-
ventive in order that the trees may become
aged in healthy state.
II is evident that these worms pass through
the common change, and assume the form Of
millers, early in the summer, and deposite then
eggs in the bark as low as they can find access
TO il; and that the worms proceeding from
them, begin TO operate in the latter part OF
summer; when they have been found the size
of common pin. II suffered to remain they
grow to the thickness of a rye straw each
of them girdes the tree about an inch, and the
wood from the wound To the heart dies. Hence
it is, that single wound impairs the yiguur
of the tree, and number of them kill II. The
point TO be gained IS TO protect the tree from
the millers, and by simple method we have
succeeded for several years, which is recon-
mended with full confidence.
About the first Of May remove the earth
from the body of the tree, and skirt il TO the
height of Is or Is inches, in such manner as
10 exclude the millers, bury the lower part of it
in the earth. We have used straw cut TO The
length, aud about half an inch in thickness,
bound on with Irvine. This should be remoy ed
about the first Of September, as we have some
times found the young worms in the upper part
of the straw, being then readily discovered on
the surface Of the bark, covered by little gum.
The process should be commenced when the
tree is young-they have been found in rapid
growth the first fall after it sprouied. Thus a
few minutes in year devoted 10 tree, will
protect it against this cause of decay very
rihing expense compared with the value Of
this healthy and delicious fruit.
