THE LINDEN TREE.

Here's q song for thee, of the lindea tree, A song of the siiken lime. There is no other tree so pleaseth me,
 No other so fit for rhyme. When was a boy, it was all my joy
 To rest in it's scented shade; When the sun was high, and the river nigh A musical murmur made. When, floating along, like a winged song The traveller bee would stop. An choose for its bower the lime-tree flower, And drink--to the last sweet drop. When the evening star stole forth, afar, And the knats flew round and around, sought for rhyme beneath the lime, Or dreamed on the grassy ground. An. years have fed, and the linden dead. Is brand on the cotteF's floor; And the river creeps, through its shiny deeIs' And youth-is thought oi yere. Yet they live again in the dreasneF's s'braln, As deeds of love and wrong, Which pass with sigh and seem to die, Survive in the poets song.

HOW FRANK FARRELL BURIED
ANOTHER MANS WIFE.

An incident, serious infiiselG, though at
the same time luughably lulicrous, lately
occurred in New Orleans. There lived
III Baronnc street. and indcd there lives
there still, a.poor but Industrious couple
Frank Farrell and his wife Mary. If
Frank were TO die, his excessive wealth,
ut least, would not preclude the possibili-
~ OF his admittance into the place rcserv-
ed for the elect. Frank is poor, but ho
has wife whom he ,lovcs-one who loves
him; home where contcntncnt is per.
manent lodger, and habits OF Industry,
winch t,fl secures health and afford him the
means to- -ply his wants, which are but
few. He ,ullows ihc business. of dycine
-rcnovating old garments or in other
words, like particular moralist, improv-
ing the habits Of the current generation;
in fact, he dyes to live. Though man
OF known veracity, he. gives coloring to
almost every thing he touches; and al.
though of strictly abstcmous habits, he is
frequently seen blue.
Not long since, Mary took the yellow
lever, and Frank being strongly advised
to send her 10 oneeof tho pay-wards of
the Charity Hospital, where she would
have the best advice and medical attend
aEcc, did so. For two days, on each Of
which he called to see her several times.
her case continued to be dangerous one,
and Frank remained in state of the most
cxcing suspense, lest her whom he so
dearly loved should pass out of existence .
Onthe night of the second day, tlle physi-
clan thoughl,h he saw SYMPTOMS Of i,nprove-
ment, as if tho crisis Of the case had been
past; and this ywas M announcement
which Frank hailed with all the gratifica-,
ton inspired by sincere affection. He
went home to his humble residence, and
that night had pleasurable and bright
dreams about Mary, happy days and q bet
ter fortune.
Early in the morning message came
to him that Mary was dead; thut she died
at one O'Clock in the morning that her
corpse was in!thc dead-housc, aud that if
1t was not taken away before the doctors
came they would dissect it. This sad
news froze fora moment lile's current in
Franks heart, but the idea Of her BODY,
instead of being buried whore he could
make periodical tPilgrimagts TO it, and
plant flowers aroundit, being subjected to-
the scalpcl Of the unfecling surgeon,
again set it in rapid motion. Ho hurried
out to the unlertakcr's, procured q hcarsc
and coffin, went directly to the dead-housc,
where he found the corpse Of 4 female

CULTIVATION OF THE SOIL FOR
FRUIT TREES

htA1 NlLILio.
The Importance Of good transpluntinc
has already been noticed; yet very few
practice it us it should be done.
There is another departing mt in the care
OF irult trees, still more important; per
haps not SO much SO in itself rs from its
almost universal neglect, and the conse-
qlcnt disastrous results. This is thorough
cultivation ofthe soil For, ofmany hun.
drcds oftrccs which the writer has seen
transplanted by various cultivators, more
haze dccnlost from NEGLECTED AFTER -cuL-
TURE, That from other causes rut together.
Pcrsonswho purchase young trees trent
them variously MS follows:s
l. Some kill them mt once bv driving
them in the sun or wind, or freezing
them in the cold.
2. Others kill them by crowding the
roofs into small holes in hard ground,
where they can never flourish, and rarely
live. ~
3. Others set them out we'll, but that is
all. This done, they consider the whole
work as finished. The trees arc suffered
TO become chokcd with grass, weeds, or
crops Of grain-some live and lingcr, 9TH
ers die under the hardship, or else are
broken of by cattle, or broken down by
the team which cultivatcs the ground.
An intelligent friend purchased fifty
very fine peach trees, handsomely rooted,
and OF vigorous growth; they were we'll
set out in field containing a fine crop Of
heavy clover and timothy. The follow
ing summer was very dry; luxuriant
growth OF meadow grass nearly obscurctl
them from sight. Whnt was the consc-
qucncc? Most Of them necessarily per-
ishcd.
Another person bought sixty, Of worse
quality in growth; he set them out well,
and kept them well cultivated with pota-
toes. llc 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 ofhis neigh.
bor, just mentioned, have disappeared
from his grounds.
Another neighbor year ago bought
fifty good trees. Passing his house late
i'll summer, he said to me, 81 thought n
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,
all low hood ones beneficial. ."-"Well," )"
answered he, 81 have found it sony ff.
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 had
been well set out. All the rows but one
had stood in a field Of wheat; that one was
hood with crop Of potatoes. The result
was striking. OF the trees that stood
among the wheat, some had made shoots
tho same year, an inch long, some two
inches long, some four, and very few,
five or six inches. While on the other
hand, on nearly every ono that grow with
the potatoes, new shoots foot and n half
could be found, and on some the growth
hud been two feet, two and half and
