TIL r. e A RLAND.
The Nest among the Graves.

Tho cloudless sun went down
Upon a church-yard scene,
And there a quiet nest marked
Hid in an evergreen.
As wandering mid the hallow'd mound
With velvet verdure drest,
paused where two sweet sisters lay
In deaths unbroken rest.
There was a marble seat
Beside that couch OF clay
Where oft the mother safe
70 pluck the weeds away.
And bless each infant bud
And every blossom faiI,
That breath'd sigh of fragrance round
The idols Of her care.
The unfedged birds had flown
Far from their nest away,
Yet still within the imprisoned tomb
Those gentle sleepers lay;
But surely as those bright VIM cd birds
Forsook the sheltering tree;
And soar'd with joyous flight to heaven
Such shall their rising be.

CHARCOAL FOR PEACH TREES


A Friend Of mine has jus, informed
me Of The success he has met with, by
the application Of charcoal 10 his peach
trees: q few years ago he had some fine
trees in his garden which invaribly had
had wormy fruit; when the fruit wat
about the s,ze Of marbles, he had the
earth removed from each tree about 2
feet around and 8 inches deep, and filled
up with charcoal; the result was that
he fruit grew 10 a fine size free from
worms; and every year since, The fruit
has been good, and the trees became
healthy and free from gun; while two
trees left without the charcoal, continue
10 bear wormy trut, and the trees un
healthy; as this will be in time tor the
readers of the Cultivator 10 make ,ria
This year, and should it prove as good
with others as in this case, it would be
" greal benefit to the fruit grower.
If farmers will plant their pumpkins
melons, and other vines on land thu
brought corn last year they will never

course has bean prsclised here foi many
years, and has always proved success

To scatter bliss around,
Till not tear or aching heart
Could in the world be found;
Oh! that the moral contained in The a

carried out. Man would be happy and
virtuous, and noble, generous and grea
principles as disseminated by Belhle

TURNING UNDER CLOVER.

Mr.. Tucker.-There is, perhaps, no
method of enriching lands more elfici.
entity, and a, so cheap rate, as that el
plowing down green clover. Clover is
acknowledged by all practical farmers
as ono Of the best, If not the very bes
grass is exislance for fertslzing lands
lis long tap roots reach into the sub
soil below, aud loosen and render The
soil ligh, and mellow; and there is 9
substance which gathers around the
roots over clover in the form OF rich molc
which | think no other grass is cspa
BILE of producing. Yet with these gen
ers facts before the eyes Of farmers
how few of us have yet resorted TO ihi'
method Of renovating and enriching ouI
worn out lands. Many of US farmers
when we gel a crop OF clover grown
dislike TO pow il in, as il looks to'
good 10 be wasted, and the consequence
IS that it is cut for hay, and ten chance
10 one ifit is not spoiled in making, &
that by the time it gels into The barn, i
IS nothing but bunch of stems, Their
are many d llerent opinions as to the
management, of clover, and as the hes
line OF turning it under for enrichne
the soil. Some prefer to have the stalb
in dead ripe state before they pow il
under, and think that in this state it il
in more I'll condition TO furnish food
for plants than in green stale Olher'
prefer to have The crop fed Oh one OF
TWO seasons by cattle, and then have
the mass of lroden down clover, togelh-
er with The droppiDgs OF the animals,
turned under for a crop of corn or gain
as The case may be. We have succeed
ed in raising the largest crop OF rye
which we everi raised by pasiur
ing of crop of clover two years, and
then turning the whole under, with
once blowing. There is no question,
believe, but that if formers will allow
clover TO grow on their farms, it will
enrich them greatly, whether fed of OF
urne1 under a green crop, and ye'
many farmers are afraid TO have this
grass 10 grow on tteir lands. They
ssy that they do not want to sow much
clover on their lands, as enough will
come in of itself This doctrine plainly
indicates that they are afraid Of this bes
Of all grasses for enrchng The soil.
think The majority Of practical farmers
will say that the best time for plowirq
under clover, is in a green state, at tina

that the duration Of sickness is about one third
less under homeopathic than under other
