Lave one Another,

Love is made the test of the validity OF our
claims to the christian racter-"By this shall
all men know that ye are my disciples" Again,
"Love one another He that lovetb another hath
fulfilled the law For this. Thou shalt not COM
nit adultery, thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not
bear false witness, thou shalt not covet; and II
there be any other commandment it is briefly
comprehended in this saying, namely: Thou shalt
love thy neghbor as myself Love worketh no
i'll to his neighbour therefore love is the fulfilling
of the law" 1t is not therefore surprising that
after an enumeration, in another place, of vari-
GUS duties, the same dign6ed apostle says, "a.
bove all these things put on charity which is the
bond of perfectnes." The incubation Of thi'
beneyolence is as frequent in the Christian Scrip
lures as its practical utility is great; He whc
would look through the volume will find that nj

A Mnther'S Influence,

Few men have become truly eminent and
useful, who have not been largely indebted,
for their success, under God, to the influence Of
mothers wise counsel, early impaired aud re-

inextingushabIe love for the child whom she
harh borne No one eau say how much Of the
real greatness Of the eminent statesman who has
Just gone down to his grave, mourned by a
whole nation is to be traced to the early inf1u-
ence of mothers prayer. We take the follow
inc statement from an exchange paper. When
Mr.. Adams was in Europe, in IT'S, then a
mere lad, his mother, in letter to him says -
"Great learning and superior abilities, should

them are unessentiaI. But surely life has higher

Early Radishes.

Mr.. t.DIT0R:--As the season for commencing
horticultural operations is near at hand, and peo-
pie, generally are so anxious to procure early
vegetables, would mention very simple meth
cd or raising radishes, which adopted two or
three years since viz: Take the sand which you
find along the border of lakes or rivers, called
lake sand and make bed Of it from ten to
twelve inches in depth; sow the seed in the same
manner that you would turnips, etc, then cover
the seed with about four inches. When the rad
lshes have made their appearance, thin them out
properly, and water them frequently in dry wealth
er, say once day. On account of the sand be-
coming so loose, and the great heat which it at
tracts (Which is so requisite the radish grows
very rapidly sMa
Some persons have an idea that there Is no
nourishment in this sand but I'know there is
for radshes, if for nothing else, hdvngatrled the
experiment myself A piece, or bed six feet
square will produce enough for good sized fam
lily. | should think they might be raised in a
box by putting in sufficient sand, and boring
holes in the bottom, to let the water pass off,
When there was prospect of frost, the box
could be covered with something. The great
heat keeps off all bugs &c, so that the radlsh is
perfectly sound and cleat,

as interesting as it is novel. tin fact, furnishes
aAgllusration in favor OF one of the most inn

chemistry which has been thought by some un-
tenable, at least partially So Is the radlsh form

quantity of carbon requisite to so rapid and per-

then can we escape the conclusion, that it is the

the leaves, which contributes mainly to the
growth and perfection of this esculent, under

The WAY 10 be Miserable.


We know of no specific more promising for
securing thoroughly miserable temper, than
the following:
Sit at your window and look over the way to
your neighbours excellent mansion, whicheiie has
recently built and paid for, and sigh out, 80 that
/ was rich man."
Get angry with your neighbor, and think you
have not friend in the world.
Sign note for friend and never forget your
kindness; and every hour in the day whisper to
yourself 81 wonder if he will pay that note2"
Think everybody means to cheat you. Close
ly examine every bill you take, and doubt its be-
ing genuine, till you have put the owner to a
great deal of trouble. Believe every shilling
passed on you is but sxpence crossed, and ex-
press your doubts about your getting rid of it if
you should venture to take It,
Put confidence i'll nobody, and believe every
man you trade with to be rogue.
Never accommodate, if you can possibly help
it, Never visit the sick or afflicted, and never
give faIthing to assist the poor.
Buy as cheap as you can; screw down to the
lowest fraction. Grind the faces of the unfortu-
nate.
Brood over your misfortune-your lack of tai
ents and believe that at no very distant day you
will come to want Let the work-house be ever
in your mind, with all the horrors ofdlstress and
poverty.
Then you will be miserable to your hearts
content, if we may so speak; sick at heart, and
at variance with all the world, Nothing will
cheer or encourage you-nothing throw CLEAN
Of sunshine or ray of warmth into your heart
All will be as dark and cherries as the grave

Fruit Trees.

Pruning.-Now is the time to commence in
good earnest, to prune trees and vines. Give a
good form to the trees-prune too little rather
than too much-avoid large wounds if possible
cover them with composition. Peach trees
lend to make long branches. Shorten them
Grape vines should be pruned early. Moderate
bleeding, however, does not injure them.
Graftlng-Cut your gratis from thrifty shoots
of young bearing trees; use grating wax of a
bout one part by weight, of beeswax, two o
taow and one of resin. 1t is our impression
that very thin guta percha is deserving trial :
It is accompanied with paste to make it adhere
1t would keep out water and air. IA
Budding Trees should now be cut down L
the bud if it baS taken. r
Transplanting.--Get Your ground well pre-
pared ample holes dug and rich earth, or com
post of earth and well rotted manure all ready.
terpillars.-Examlne your trees and cut of
the limbs containing deposits of eggs.
Buy the best Trees.-Eyery person owning
land, should every year, buy few of the choic
est fruits Or have them grown ready to hand.
Wash for Trees.-A weak solution of potash
or I've, of wood ashes, applied to the trunks anC
branches of trees, destroys insects and gives
smooth bark. A mixture of lime and COW ina
nure makes good wash.

Lime ! Lime The best potatoes we have
seen of the crop of l647, were raised on soil
monured with lime, house ashes, and gypsum.
These articles were mixed before being applied

Not a single potato was injured by the rot, though
in contiguous fields the crop was nearly des-

healthy; where it has not been used-so far q;

or less injured by the plague

Remedies.

For fl of passion Walk out in the open

out hurting any one or proclaiming yoursetto be

For fit of Idleness Count the tickings Of

gin to pull off your coat the next, and work like
a negro
For a fit Of Extravaganza and Folly. Go to
the work-house, or speak with the ragged and
wretched inmate of Jail, and you will be con-
vinced-
Who makes his bed of brier and thorn,
Must be content to lie !ollon.
For fit of ambition. Go into the church
ward and read the grave stones they will tell you
the end Of ambition. The grave will soon be
your bed chamber, the earth your pillow, cor
ruption your father, and the worm your mother
and sister.
For fit of Repiaing Look about for the
halt and the blind and visit the bed-rldden and
afflicted, and deranged; and they will make you
ashamed of complaining of your lighter aiiiic-
tons.
For a fit of Dependency, Look on the good
things which God has given you IN this world,
and at those which he has promised to his follow
ers in the next He who goes into his garden to
look for cobwebs and spiders, no doubt will find
them; while he who looks for flower, may re-
turn into his house with one blooming in bis
bosom.

The pleasures of this world are so transitory
and fleeing, that it seems q crime for man tC
pass his days in frivolous pursuits, or to stake
as many do, their whole mind upon what, before
to-morrow's sun shall 60 down, will become as
mist and vapor. The uncertainty of life, the
dark veil which covers the future from the perc.
ing eyes of man, the Ignorance of what day
might bring forth, have a sautary effect upon the
thoughtful, and weans them from too great love
Of the world, its pleasures, or of themselves
Though there be few who live to the age of three
score years and ten, it is no guarantee that VIC
shall endure till then. Health nor youth arc mo-
to be relied on, for the nipping frost often des

Religious,
Reflections in a House of Mourning,
BY F. 0. HODGES.

Weep not: Luke Z, Is.
Weep not for those who pass from earth
When youths warm hopes are high;
Weep not for those of gentle birth,
Though early doomed to die.
Weep not although your hearts be sad
And sorrowful; for know,
That heightened years are sent to add
A heightened score of woe.
Weep not; but rather pray to die
Like those we love, in peace;
Who, when they feel the spoiler nigh,
Long for a sweet release.
Weep not; for Heavens purer place
Than aught beneath the skies,
And they who enter, taste of bliss,
And hear the call; ARISE.
O weep not then, for those who die,
They've but obeyed the call
And risen to their Savior-why
Should we ere weep at all?
Behold the friend whom we deplore,
M Attic right hand of God;
Be still, my soul, nor wish her more

Just below the surface of the ground. So great
have been the ravages Of this insect that in some
cases whole acres have been destroyed by it,
To guard against its depredations, plant on new

new lands; and use fresh horse manure with
wood ashes, mixed up while before used asJ
mix the manure with the soil in the hill Abou'
