SHADE TREES.

In our recommendation of shade trees
last spring. we overlooked one which. in
some respects, Is superior to most dccidii-
Gus trees among Us. This is the silver
leaf Adele. The objection to it is that il
throws up suckers from the roots. On the
other hand it is easy of propagation =
growing from cuttings = entirely hard
and vigorous, and is clothed with an abun.
dant foliage of the deepest green While
this Is true, the leaves are glazed on the
under side, and as the tree is allied to the
aspen family, the leaves are continually
moving IN the wind. and while the sun
shines upon them, they resemble FURNISH
cd silver. The appearance of the tree,
from this cause, Is very pleasing.
But the chief excellence, and the che
for which we mention 1t, is the enduring
character IT'S foliage. The trees about
town are now. after our many severe
frosts, clothed with foliage as bright as in
midsummer, a fact which cannot be told
of any other deciduous tree.-I5.

SALT FoR HoGs.-Hogs, during the
process of iattening, should be supplied
with salt as often as once a week. Ii Is
no less advantageous than TO the OK, the
COW, or the sheep, and, when literally Civ
en-, is preventive of many diseases. 10
which, from their continual confinement.
and the effect of hearty food. they are in

benefited by a liberal provision of sail, and

-sHIST s. WHICH TELL LIES.

Ii lie common 10 see strings of Hints
in newspapers which profess to lay down
rules, or tell truths Of some importance
in very short compass. This is a con-
venient way of impressing valuable facts
on the mind, as such things will often be
remembered, when they would otherwise
be forgotten.
But it is important that these hints
state real facts instead of telling lies = 4

"Our hopes are from the children, and we make
it our object to devote all the efforts we can to
them. We wish our good friends who are en-
deavoring to strengthen our hands and encour-
age our hearts would do so too; you will readily
conceive the purport of these remarks.
"The parents are so poor, that they cannot
clothe their children or purchase books for them
They look to us-and to whom shall we look but
to the Dorcas like sisters in the states. TO
them we must and do look There are so many
children that it will require all their efforts to
keep them supplied; therefore we hope that they
will far as possible direct their efforts to this
point The children are making as rapid pro-
gress as we could possibly expect.

sight Our white friends came to see for curl

they ever saw, and beat anything of the kind in
the province, Our object was to encourage the
children, but there was some so signed the tenn
perance pledge, and the most of them hard cases;
and such as would not go to temperance meet
ing They turned out to this from curiosity to
see what it was
owe felt that even the present good was e.
nough to amply compensate us for the expense
and trouble; there were over two hundred that
partook of the repast.
"Our family consists of 10 colored children
these with my school, and no help, has kept my
hands full the past summer.
"The goodness and mercy of my covenant
keeping God has hitherto attended me and most
sincerely ask the prayers of all interested, that
may be faithful watchful, prayerlul, and useful
that his blessing may rest on our efforts and
crown them with success"
