Ear, the lfnine Cultipator.

We have seen many arguments IN favor Oh
removing and transplanting trees in Autumn
rather than in the Spring; but they have
failed to convince us. We would as soon
send man to New Orleans ~ June 10 larry
there during the sickly season OF summer, III
order to be ready to commences winter p.-
siness in the December following, as 70 oIg
I'D tree in autumn, and set 1t Out men, 50 0S
to have it ready to grow the next spring'L
The winter may not kill 1t; bul IL wan oe
likely to give it q yello,0 fever the ensuing
season. Trees should be dug up as soon as
the frost is out of the ground, because this IS
before the sap has begun to circulate much
Some prefer that they should be laid In
cool place with their roots covered with earth,
iii the season becomes decidedly warm be-.
fore setting them out, and this may be good
plan, as they will start then under the int1u-
,ence of the seast n so much more rapidly as
TO gain speedier hold Of the earth to sustain
themselves against winds, &c. However, we
never object to setting tree or shruo OUT 'n0
same day or hour of its being taken up
Generally we have found this practice the
.surest. Don't dig a hole for the roots mucn
below the ton soil. The cold stiff suosoll
will do them no good. Again, don't dig
mere most hole, and twist the roots into 1t
Make superficial excavation sufhclentIy
large to receive the roots in the direction
they originally growed. Put some rlcn
earth, or compost manure about the norous
roots: but give them no new or 1resh ma
nure. Sift the fine earth in carefully aDoul
the roots and gently press it round them ti !,
the hole is filled. Then put large iork luIi
of straw or litter around the tree. Ii 1t needs
ortiGc;a1 watering, pour the water on this
litter. and it will filter down through without
making drains under ground to the injury OF
roots. and without causing the earth to be-
come hard and baked. A stake driven care
fully down by slender trees tied to the body
is good projection against wind.
A HINT TO WRIrERs.-We found the fol-
lowing scrap floating about the other day IN
the newspapers. We commend it to the par
ticular attention of all who write tor the
press. .h;nr ~
he printed until you have read it over care
fully, at least twice, after having written it !;
once to see whether you have written any
thing wrong or unwise; and once to see
whether the spelling and grammatical con-
struction are correct, and whether the letters
are sufficiently plain for the printers boy TO-
read. Many people, from the neglect OF
this rule, print what they are sorry tor after,
wards. Many don't get their pieces printed
at all; and many wonder why omissions
are made by the editor; yet they would
wonder still more to see their articles IN
print as they wrote them; sentences begun
and not finished; or things mixed up, so
strangely together that nobody can declpher
the meaning. Some OF our best edacateo
men send perfect nonsense to an editor 10 De
printed, because they will not give them
selves the trouble to know what they write.
TROPICAL DELIGHTS. are the curse
of tropical climates. The hete rouge lays
the foundation of tremendous ulcer. In
moment YOU are covered with ticks. Chi
goes bury themselves in your flesh, and
hatch large colony of young chigoes in
few hours. They will not live together but
every chigoe sets up separate ulcer, and
has his own private portion of pus. Flies
get entry into your mouth, into your eyes, in.
to your nose you eat flies, drink flies, and
breathe flies. Lizards, cockroaches, and
snakes, get into bed ants eat up the books;
scorpions sting you on the foot. Every thing
bites, stings or bruises every second OF your
existence you are wounded by some piece of
animal life that nobody has ever seen before,
except Swammerdam and Meriarnn. An in
sect with eleven legs is swimming in your
tea-cup, a nondescript with nine wings is
struggling in the small beer, or caterpillar
with several dozen eyes in his belly is has
tening over the bread and BUTTER All ma
ture is alive, and seems to be gathering all
her chronological hosts to eat you up, as
you are standing out of your coat, waist
coat, and breeches. Such are the tropics
All this reconciles us to our dews, iogs, va
pours, and drizzle-to our apothecaries rush.

Auzess Simpliciy.-It is we'll known, that
at the present time a more than usual inter-
est is felt in the subject of religion and in
many portions of New England especially,
as we'll as in the West and South West, the
great ,oaterS of sin appear to be breaking up.
A short time since, the following CONVEX
sation took place at an Inquiry Meeting, not
100 miles distant from the State of Maine
and without further preface we shall only
say, that the parties to it were the minister
of the place, and an artless country girl,
whose countenance indicated great simplici-
ty of character and unaffected piety.
Minister. Well, Miss, trust you are pre-
pared to forsake all the vanities of the world,
and lead henceforth, a new life of duty and
obedience to your Maker.
Girl. Yes, sir.
Minister. Are you willing to yield up eve
ry thing you hold dear on earth, for the sake
of Christ?
Girl. (After long pause, during which
religious sense of duty, and the natural af-
lection of the heart, evidently struggled for
mastery in the bosom of the poor girl,)
yes, sir-all-all-but OLIVER ADAMS.
Bay State Democrat.
