PREsERvING AN APPLE TREE.---The
following novel mode of preserving the life
of an apple tree, was tried last season by
Mr.. Mandcll, Of Barre, and the tree this
year bears abundantly. u 1a'd a77 ~ &s
" The bark was eaten off from the body
of the tree entirely around, for the space Of
two feet or more, as clean as If It had been
scraped he removed the uneven and Jag
geo portions up to uniform ring then
TOOK young shoots, and sharpening them al,
both ends, inserted them at each end into :
the bark to act as conductors Of the sap.s
and covered the whole over with moist aud
rich earth 10 tile height Of a foot or two
above where the bark was eaten off; the
scions took root at both ends, and acted as
conductors for the sap. On that side where
the sticks were placed thick, the tree was
entirely restored. the other side, where.
they are fewer, is partially decaying."
) NECESSITY OF NATIONAL MORALITY.
The crisis has come. By the people Of
| this generation, by ourselves, probably, the
amazing question is TO be decided, whether
the inheritance of our fathers shall be pre-
served or thrown away; whether our Sab
baths shalt be delight or a loathing !:
whether the taverns, on that holy day, shall
be crowded with drunkards, or the sanctu-
AIRY Of God with humble worstippers !,
whether riot and profanencss shall I'll our
streets, and poverty our dwellings. and
convicts our jails, and violence our land.
or whether industry, and temperance, and
righteousness, shall be the stability Of our
times; whether mild laws shall receive the
cheerful submission Of freemen, or the iron
rod ola tyrant compel the trembling hom-
age Of slaves. Be not deceived. Human
nature in this state is like human nature
every where. An actual difference in our
favor is adventurous, and the result Of our
laws, institutions, and habits. II is NOR
al influence, which with the blessing Of God
has formed state of society so eminentlyl
desirable. The same influence which
formed il is indispensable to its preserva-
ton. The rocks and hills Of New-Jersey
will remain till the last coDAagration. But
let the Sabbath be profaned with impunity,
the worship Of God be abandoned, the gov
eminent and religions instruction Of child
rem neglected, and the streams ofintemper-
ance be permitted to flow, and her glory
will depart. The wall Of FIRE will no longer
surround her, and the munition Of rocks
will no longer be her defence.
The Yankee and Dutchman. Every
man who wishes TO prosper in life must
choose between the following alternatives
either tO limit his desires TO his income,
or to extend his income to his desires. He,
that limits his desires to his income, takes
the safest course for himself, and he that
extends his income to meet his desires, the
best course for the public. The one is
characterised asyour prudcnt man, and the
other as your enierprising man. The one
is the distinguishing feature Of the Dutch
man, and the other of the Yankee. The
one confines his wishes to what he has got,
or can safely expect to acquire the other
all he can hope to gain. The Dutcbman
is therefore quiet, prudent. Flooding ami
mal--the Yankee busting, driving, rest
less csitier.' The one is easily satisfied,
the other never. The Dutchman, when he
has acquired decent fortune, pockets his
cash, and retires from business and its
risks while the Yankee is then only just
beginning TO live, using bis present acqui-
siiions as means Of acquiring more, con-
stantly risking what he has got for the pur-
pose Of increasing his gains, mul'ipIies bis
expenses in proportion to bis accumUlations.
