HOW FRANK FARRELL, BURIED
ANOTHER MANS WIFE.

- s.r ~ =. 1
AN incident, serious inSitself E. though al
the same time laughably ludicrous, lately
occurred in New Orleans. There lived

there still, a.poor but industrious couple
Frank Farrell and his wife Mary. If
Frank were TO die, his excessive wealth.
at least, would not preclude the possibili-
ty OF his admittance into the place rcserv-
ed for the elect. Frank is poor, but he
has wife whom he loyes-one who loves
him; home where contcntment is per.
mnnent lodger, and habits Of Industry,
whichsecurcs health and afford him the
means to supply his wants, which are but
few. lie follows The business of dyeing&
-ronova,ing old garments or in other
words, like particular moralist, improy-
ing the habits Of the current generation.
in fact, he dyes to live. Though a man
OF known veracity, hc.givcs Il coloring 10
almost every thing he touches; and al.
though of strictly abstemious habits, he is
frequently seen blue.
Not long SINCE, Mary took the yellow
lever, and Frank being strongly advised
to send her TO one&of tho pay-wards of
the Charity Hospital, where she would
have the best advice and medical attcnd-
ance, did 50. For two days, on each Of
which he called to see her several times.
her case continued to be n dangerous one,
and Frank remainedin in state Of the most
eXcing suspense, lest her whom lie so
dearly loved should pass out of existence
Onahe night Of the second day, the physi-s
clan thoughthe saw SYMPTOMS Of iulprove.
nncnt, as ifStho crisis of the case had been

which Frank hniled with all the gratifica.,
ton inspired by sincere affection. He
went home 10 his humble residence, and
that night had pIeasurable and bright
dreams about Mary, happy days and IA bet
ter fortune.
Early in the morning message came
to him that Mary was dead that She died
at one o'clock in the morning that her
corpse was inythc dead-housc, aud that if
it was not taken away before the doctors
came they would lissect it. This sad

CULTIVATION OF THE SOIL FOR
FRUIT TREES.


The Importance Of good transplanting
has already been noticed; yet very few
practice it us it should be done.
There is. another departing mt in the care
OF fruit trees, still more important; per
shaps not so much so in itself rs + from its
almost, universal neglect, and the conse-
qnent disastrous results. This is thorough
cultivation Of the soil. For, Of many hun
drcds oftrccs which the writer hns seen
transplanted by various cultivators, more
hare 6ccaalost from NEGLECTED AFTER -cuL-
TURF, that from other causes put together.
Pcrsonswho purchase young trees treat
them variously rs follows:@sS
l. Some kill them at once bv driving
them in the sun or wind, or freezing
them in the cold.
!, 2. Others kill them by crowding tho
roofs into small holes in hard ground
where they cannevcr flourish, and rarely
live. ~
3. Others set them out we'll, out that is
nil. This done, they consider the whole
work MS finished. The trees arc suffered
TO become chokcd with grass, weeds, or
crops of grain-some live and lingcr, 9TH
crs die under the hardship, or else are
broken OIL by cattle, or broken down by
the team which cultivates tho ground.
An intelligent friend purchased fifty
very fine peach trees. handsomely rooted,
and OF vigorous growth; they wore well
set outin afield containing fine crop of
heavy clover and timothy. The follow
ing summer was very dry; luxuriant
growth ofmeadow grass nearly obscnred
them from sight. What was the consc-
luence? Most Of them necessarily per-
ishcd.
Another person bought sixty, Of worse
quality in growth; he set them out well,
oand kept them well cultivated with pota-
toes. He lost but one tree; and continu-
ing to cultivate them with low hoed crops,
they now promise to afford loads of rich
peaches, before the dead stubs Of his neigh.
bor, just mentioned, have disappeared
from his grounds.
Another ncighbor ycar ago bought
fifty good trees. Passing his house late
in summer, he said to me, 81 thought
crop of wheat one of the best for young
peach trees?" Just the reverse; it is one
of the worst-all sown crops are Injurious,
oil low hocd ones beneficial. ."-"Well,"
answered he, 81 havos found it sony fit.
ty trees all lived it is true, but have lost
ono year of their growth by my want Of
knowledge" His trees were examined;
they were in an excellent soil, and hnd
been we'll set out. All the rows but ono
had stood in q field Of wheat; that oneswas
hood with crop of potatocs. The result
was striking. Of the trees that stood
among The wheat, some had made shoots
the same year, an inch long, some two
inches long, some four, md very few,
five or six inches. While on tho other
hand, on nearly every ono that grew with
the potatoes, new shoots n foot and half
could be found, and on some the growth
had been two feet, two and half and
