TALENT ALWAYS WORTH PRrcE.-No
men are more Justly entitled to fair prices
than truly qualified and competent teachers.
And this not barely because Of the value of
wrat they give in return, but because Of the
great outlay OF time ard money necessary to
prepare for their profession. Some teach
crs nave spout dozen years in preparation,
and have laid out many thousand dollars:
a c1p'tai of time and money sufficient to
have made them rich in merchandise, or al
mechanical art. Few persons can estimate
the value of things. where results are pro-
duced with case, and in moment. They
must see the labour performed. Most per-
SONS can readily believe that a railroad, a
canal, or ship, is worth all the money ask
ell Tor IT, but they cannot understand why a
painting nr statue should be held at many
thousand dollars. Nor can they be amazed
that PaganIni should expect twenty guincas

TRANSpLANTATIoN OF TREES There is |
a degree Of misconccption on this subject
that is truly astonishing, when tho exercise
of Il moderate portion of common sense is
all that is requisite tn form a correct Judge
mcnt. In the first place the trees and even
the most delicate plants Of the temperate
zone can be sent from our country to Europe |
with perfect safety. and even to cities in the
interior, such as War.aw Vienna, &C., to
whicl, there are several hundred miles of
land carriage after arrival in Europe, and
yet We have frequent inquiries whether
trees and plants will bear transportation TO
the different States OF our Union. All that
any applicant for trees, &c. has to do is TO
inform us OF the best route for transmission
and what portion is land carriage. and we
will manage the details. Many persons re-
siding in States south Of us have also very
erroneous notions as TO the suitable season
for transmitting trees and plants to them
The mont Of November to Mach arc
safe for lnrwlrdng trees and shrub
berry as far south as Charleston, and Novcm-
Der to January TO New Orleans. The au-
umn is the best for sending trees to the Wcs-
ern States. The period of transportation
nero the first day of October and
extends To the first day Of May for the dit- ,,
ercnt sections our country. Trees cannot
advance materially in vegetation here until
lie middle of April. and it matters not how ,
ar advanced they may be at the places r
where they are planted, even if it were mid t
tlmmcr provided they are sent from Il place /
where vegetation is dormant. and the vov- a

Roses being very tenacious for life can a
