Mr.. Hale could do to prevent it, he went on
in his excess till he fell down as dead before

prayed earnestly to Con both for his f1iene.

SALT FOR PLUMB TREEs.-Mr Benja-
min Jncobs of Dorchester, had a small
plumb tree which never bore more than
half dozen plumbs that came to maturity;
seeing salt recommended as a remedy, he
applied two quarts, the first of March, In a
space about two feet wide around the tree.
commencing about SIX inches from the tree
1t was dug into the ground a little. The
consequence has been a fine lot OF fruit We
saw this tree a short time SINCE and 1t was
as full as it could hold. 1t was evident that
salt made the great contrast between this and
previous years as to the production of fruit

course, to irritate and perplexl The work
of reconciliation is truly Christian. 1t is
calculated to bring peace to many troubled
breast, to sooth and givS balm to many an
agitated mind and wounded hcart-to cons
vert hatred into love, harshness into kind
ness, and 70 make us by reflection on the
past, ashamed OF our moments of petulance
and passion and anxious 10 avoid such er-
oTs and impeTfectons for he future.
What nobIer task could an individual be
engaged in, than that Of bringing together
friends and relatives who had heeu long
separated separated too by some trivial
cause, Sy some hasty word, by some harsh
expression or allusIon, which at the time
was not meant to offend or wound. 1t Is so
easy at Zines. and especially when one Is
peevish. frctful and out OF humour, TO mag
inc insult where nothing was intended. We
all. too, have peculiar moods. We have
our hours of gloom. discomfort and dissatis-
faction. Az such times we are uni iTersally
sensitive The slightest thing will stir Us
into passion, or induce US to utter something
harsh or complaining. 1t is at such mo-
ments that difficulties are aptto arise. We
cannot bear even ordinary railing, while
the rcmotcst allusiOn TO any offensive subs
iect or sore point, is at once regarded as an
act of wrong or outrage. This TOO, we
know, and realize ourselves in our calm
and thoughtful moments But we lack the
nerve TO admit the error, to take back the
harsh expression we may have used, to prof.
fer an apology, and 10 hold out the hand OF
reconciliation How fatal has this obsIna-
cy been to the happiness ofmany! A sight
offence, and perhaps one that was never IN
tended, has increased with the strength OF
years. by the nursing OF moody thought, the
lnsinuatiOnS aud misrepresentation OF pre-
tended friends. and thus, what might ha We
been explained in a breath, what would have
been forgiven promptly and generously, had
the firstlwoId of atOnement or explanation
been uttered, has ranked and deepened un>
I'll the fearful feelings of hatred and revenge
have become dark features of our nature.
Better, far better in every case, where a
doubt exists as to the propriety of our own
course, TO stretch out the hand of Ieconcllla>
lion. Better to forgive, once, twice aye,
dozen times, than mistake or misapprehend,
and on such fatal error, TO foment deadly
| and und wing enmity. II has been eloquent

EMIGRATION TO TExAs.-It appears that

as agent of German emigrating associations,
has been attended with the very best results
in giving a very hardy ard respectable DO.

irons, and they shall be but few. At The
commencement of this volume we were So
licited by number of friends to reduce the
price ofsour paper TO 81 ,50 per annum, an
aduance-they promising in that event to
procure US one thousand additional subscri
bers. We did SO, and for the last year sucl
has been the terms of the Journal. Instead
however, of 1000 new subscribers, we were
furnished with only about 300-the loss &c
us, consequently, by the reduction in thu
price of our paper has been great. 1t wa
not in the power of our friends to make GOO
their promises TO US, and they feel unable II
indemnify US for our loss. To all this WI
complain not. 1t was an experiment whicI
we entered upon in the hope of ultim atel
profiting by it. 1t has not succeeded, an
there is an end of. Henceforward th
price Of the Journal will be $500 in adDanc
$500 at the expiration of the year. w
are satisfied that no n vino desires a pape
at all, wishes it for less sum. Al this pric
We solicit new subscriptions, and if OF
friends will each one exert himself, we al
satisfied our list can be doubled in a yer
short time.

of the power Of our Stale 10 meet its present

been the story for some years past, and sor-

we see likely TO remain so-inthe condition

of France, described national bankruptcy, as
a gulf into which living victims are thrown,
and which does not close again, even after
deveuring them; for, he continued, "we
owe none the less even after we have refus-
ed 10 pay" This State may be regarded as
an existing witness of the truth of the fore
Fgoing. The State has been bankrupt for a
long time, and it owes none the less; but, on
the contrary, the gap grows wider and wild.
