More Annexation.

IL will be seen by little item of intelligence
which we publish to-day, that it is not improbable
that portion of the people of Iucatan may desire
to take shelter under the broad flag of the An,er-
can Union. We cannot but admire the good sense
which enables these sagacious citizens 10 apprc.

commendable prudence which induces them to
become applicants for our favour instead of redu.

Thus the Republic rshes on in her career of

CuRRANT RUSIIES.

The currant fruit is produced from small twigs
of three or four years, and also upon last years
shoot, which latter is always the best. We place
the curant bush in the intermediate Tor second)
class, and deem it admissible to prude, either by
shortening the shoot, or by removing as many of
the branches as may seem necessary, upon the
principle laid down for the spurred Tor first class.
If you adopt the former mode, then remove all
suckers rising from the root or putting out from
the stem beneath the head; after which, thin out
your bush pretty thoroughly, and cut back the last
starting place. But if you adopt the other mode,
then leave these last years shoots full length, but
remove the suckers, as above, and, likewise, thin
out the shoots and branches pretty thoroughly
Remember that, in the remarks made on pruning so
far, is presumed that the trees and bushes spok-
en- of, are in the ordinary neglected condition. yet
it will be our pleasure hereinafter to show that i'm
proved modes Of training can be proftaby adopt

CnnsnERRY RuSHES.

"When properly managed, they are sure ana al
most abundant bearers but if neglected in culture,
they soon become little better than brar BUSH"
Wilson.
The best goosberry fruit is borne upon the last
seasons wood at the base of the new shoots put
ting forth. Consequently this "dwarf fruit tree,
but of the meaner sort" as Hit has 1t, belongs al
so to the intermediate Tor second) class, and may
be pruned by shortening cutting out branches at
pleasure, yet in the former mode, be careful not to
encourage too many buds to put forth, or else the
head of your dwarf tree" will become a thcket.
The bearing shoots, if dead at tho end, had better
be shortened little. AT the same time, take out
all suckers lying beneath the head (which latter
should be in height about one foot from the ground)
and all growing up from the root Preserve one
main stem only to your bush. Rub off all the moss
that may be upon it, and then cut out some OF Its
branches to enable light and air to circulate freely
through. In regard to training this bush, we may
have some remarks to make neutrality-suspicious.

w ELI, SAID.

We find the following touching alluson 10 the
drunkard's wife In well written article on Winter,
in a late Bangor Wing:
But there is one on whose sinking heart the
thoughts of dreary winter beat with more than o.
ceah surge. The drunkard's wife Alas the
beauties of summer have lost the power to charm
back into life her broken and wasted energies
The deep fountains Of her heart have long since
swept away, and burned in one common grave all
the bright anticipaons of bliss that shown on her
carly life. With what deep end dark forebodngs
does the gathering pail of winter envelope her de.
scending soul What is there of earthly good that
she can call her own? OF what avail to her is the
sympathy of friends? 1t is but the twinkng light
of far distant stars that shine it is true, but their
brightness cannot warm into life soul bereft of
its long cherished and life giving sun. To her the
luminary of her early days has set and darkness
that in sad reality, may be felt, is the portion of
her cup"

Every night, when our spirits are exhausted with
action, and our minds tired with thoughtlulness -
when we are become weary not of doing only, but
almost of being; we should conclude our tolls, and
wrap up our cares in the sweet sense and grateful
memory of his goodness, who hath protected lis so
many hours from the manifold dangers and more
SINS to which, by our weakness, or our folly, and
our bad nclinatious, we are through every minute
exposed and withal, has provided usso easy and so
delightful means of recovering our spent activity,
or repairing our decayed strength.
