WHERE THEY LEARN 1T.

Il don't see where my children learn
such things is one of the most common
phrases in the mothers vocabulary. A lit
tie incident, which we happened to be an
eye witness to, may perhaps help to solve
the enigma. We smiled little at the
time, have thought good deal since, and
we trust not without profit.

green trees are transpIanted in April, MAY,

tant to take up sod with the tree, it nav
be az VOL to transplant this kind early in
the season before ploughing commences.
1t IS not necessary to take up long root
with fir, hemlock or pine !; bat it is
absolutely necessary to take up sod with
the roots; and sods will adhere to them
better at this season Of The wear. than
when the earth is more dry.
There IS not much risk in sking frs
from good nurseries, for the multitude Of
fi5rous roots that are found IN every di-
rection hold enough earth to insure their
growth. But pines or frs taken from for
ests have but very few roots, and they need
more care.
The bark that covers the roots OF pines
and other eYergreens is very thin agd ten
der, and when the trees are pulled up and
set, as we set apple trees, the bark comes
of, and not one tree in fifty survives. -
Long roots are not needed, and the trees
may be taken UP by cutting around at
distance of twelve inches from the trunk,
when that is not more than five feet in
height.
These trees and c!umps of earth may be
set when the earth is wet, for there is not
the same need of spreading out the roots
and keeping them separate, as there is
when trees are taken up without earth.-
Yet 1t is important in all cases 10 keep the
earth loose, aud light, and free from weeds

THE SLANDE RER.


'Tis wondrous strange, and yet It's true,
That some folks take delight
The deeds Of other men TO view,
As If their own were right.
And if piece of news comes out,
They'll eagerly pursue it;
And hand the charming dish about,
And add little TO it.
Each fault they'd try to magnify,
Yet seeming to bemoan,
The notes within brothers eve,
Are blinded TO their own.
And if brother chance TO stray,
Or fortune on him frown,
Though humbled in the dust he lay,
The text is " keep him down"
They'll preach up penance with a sigh,
To cure, or nothing can
SutIerings are good, I'll not deny,
But not when sent by man.
Each worthy deed is now forgot,
As if not worth retaining;
But q let failings fiji the pot,
And SANDER sucks the draining.
Under the dregs she draws it out,
Delighted with her labors,
Then bears the charming swill about,
To treat her trusty nelghbOrs.
Meath friendships mask she often turks,
And smiling fawns around youi
Concealed, she more securely works,
And kisses, but to wound you,
Detcsted pest of social JOY,
Thou spoiler of life's pleasures
Like SIMPSONS foxes would destroy,
What's more than all our treasures.
