Hints for Transplanting.

|. Many persons plant tree as they
would post, The novice in planting
must consider that a tree is living,
nicely organized production, as certainly
affected by good treatment as an animal
Many an orchard of trees, rudely thrust
into the ground, struggles half dozen
years against the adverse condition be-
fore it RECEIVERS.
II. In planting an orchard, let the
ground be made mellow by repeated
pioughlng. For tree of moderate size,
the hole should be dug three feet in di>
ameler, and twelve To twenty inches
deep. Turn over the soil several times,
and, if not rich, mix thoroughly with il
some compost. or well rotltd manure,
In every instance, the hole must be large
enough 70 admit all the roots easily with
out tending. Shorten and pair smooth
ly with knife, any bruised or broken
roots. Hold the tree upright, while an
other person, making the earth fine

gradually distributes i. among the roots
Shake the tree gently while this filling
is going on. The main secret lies in
carefully, filling IN the mould, so that co.
cry root, and ercn the smallest fibre, may
meet the soil, and to secure this let the
operator with his hand spread out the
small roots, and fill in the earth, nicely
around every one. Nine ienths Of the
deaths by transplan,ing arise from the
hollows LETT among the roots of trees by
rapid and careless mode Of shovelng
the earth among the roots.
Ill. When the hole is two-thirds filled
pour i'll a pail or two Of water.-This
will settle the soil, and fill up any vac>
Titles that remain. Wait until the wa
ter has sunk away and then fill up the
hole, pressing the earth moderately a.
round the tree with the foot. The moist
earth, being covered by the loose sur-
face soil, will retain its humidity for
long time. Indeed we rarely fiud il nee
cssary TO water again after planting in
this way, and little muck or litter
placed around the tree, upon the newly
moved soil, will render il quite unnecessa-
ry. Frequent surface watering is highly
injurious, as it causes the top Of the soil
to bake so hard as to prevent the access
Of light and air, both of which, in GER
tain degree, are absolutely necessary.
w. Avoid the prevalent error $50
common and fatal in this country OF
planting your trees too deep. They
should not be planted more than an inch
deeper than they stood before. If they
are likely to be thrown out by the frost
the first winter, heap little mound a.
bout the stem, 10 be removed again in
the spring.
V. If yonr soil is positively bad, ro-
move it from the holes, and substitute 4
CARLOAD or two of good garden mould.
Donot forge, that plants must have room.
Five times the common growth may be
realized by preparing holes six feet in
diameter and twice the usual depth, ems
rching and improving the soil by the
plentiful addition Of good compost.
Young trees cannot be expected to o,hrivo
well in sod land. When young orchard
must be kept in grass. circle should be
kept dug around each tree. But cults
vation of the land will cause the trees To-
advance more rapidly in five years than
they will in ten, when it is allowed to re-:
main in grass.

Law of NeWspapers.

l. Subscribers who do not give express Eno-
tice to the contrary. are considered as wishing
to continue their subscription.
3. If subscribers order the dscontinuance of
their papers, the publisher may continue to send
them till all that is due he paid
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take
their papers from the office to which they are
directed they arc held responsible till they
have settled their bills and ordered their papers
discontinued.
4. If subscribers move to other places, with
out informing the publisher. and the paper is
sent TO the former direction, they are held re-
Sponsihlc.
5. The courts have decided hat refusing to
axe paper from the Office, or removing and
leaving it uncalled for, is prima facia evidence
of intentional fraud.
G. A Postmaster neglecting to inform pub
Usher when his paper is not taken from the of

LAW AND ITS WnIMs.-When Judge
Parsons was a practising lawyer, he was
once employed 10 plead two cases in court,
which were precisely alike, but in one he
was engaged for the defendant, and in the
other for the plaintiff. 1t happened that
both cases were tried the same day he
spoke for half an hour 10 the first jury, and
the case was given TO them and they had re-
tired. When he appeared before the sec
ond jury he made use of very different ar
guments from those employed by him be-
fore, OF which the court took notice, remind
ing him that he seemed to have changed his
tune, and repeated to him what he had said
but few minutes before. Mr.. Parsons fx-
ed his keen eye upon the judge and replied;
May il please your honor, ] might have
been prong half an hour ago, but now /
knoo / am right" He proceeded and
when the juries returned, it was fonnd he
had gained verdict in both cases

But when the sprnkled water touched them,
they closed, softly, slowly, ike blue flower

The mother, still living, and full of thank
full wonder that she did live, took from the
priests arms her recovered treasure, her
Christian child. 1t lay all smiling, but it
lifted not its eyes: the color was fading on
its lips, and its little hands were growing
cold. For it--not her, had been the warn
ing. 1t had rendered up its little life, and
received an immortal soul.
For years after this, there abode in the
village of Skjelskor woman whom some
people thought was an utter stranger for

Nevertheless, this woman had surely once

Another hand is beckoning on,
Another call is givcn
And glows once more with angel stcps
The path which reaches heaven.
One young and gentle friend, whose smile
Made brighter summer hours,
Amid the frosts of summer time,
Has left us with the flowers.
No palng of the check Of bloom
Forewarned us Of decay;
No shadow from the silent land
Fell round our sisters w0v.
The light of her young life went down
AS sinks behind the hill,
The glory of setting star
Clear, suddenly, and still.
As pure and sweet her fair brow seemed
Eternal as the sky;
And like the brooks low song her voice;
"A sound which could not die.
And half we deemed she needed not
The changing of her sphere
They give to heaven shining one,
Who walked au angel here,
The blessings Of her quiet life,
Fell on lis like the dew; Iprcssed
And good thoughts where here footstep
Like fairy blossoms grew.
Sweet promptings unto kindcst deeds
Were in her very look;
We read her face as one who reads
true and holy book.
The pleasure Of n blessed hymn
To which our hearts could move,
The breathing OF an inward psalm,
"A canliclc of love.
We miss her in the place Of prayer,
Ard by the hearth fires light;
We pause beside our door TO hear
Once more her sweet Good night"
There seems shadow in the day,
Her smile no longer cheers;
a dimness on the stars Of night
Like eyes that look through tears.
Alone unto our Fathers will
Our thoughts were reconciled;
That he whose love exceedeth ours
Hath taken home his child.
Fold her, o Father in thine aims,
And let her henceforth be
a messenger of love between
Our human hearts and thee.

Greece and EgVpt.

Much that is great and good in civili-
zation, is ascrbcd to Egypt. 1t is said,
that much of the knowledge possessed
by mankind, was derived from Egypt,
through the medium Of Greece and
Rome. The beneicent stream that now
waters the dark spots Of the earth, must
be traced TO the fountains Of the Nile.
This is one of the ideas, or falsehoods,
which men are willing 10 hand down,
without examination, from generation TO
generation. In the eyes of a certain
class of men, this is kind of sacred
ground, which we must approach on bare
feet, and with PROSTATE intellect.
In her palmy days Egypt exercised an
iron despotism over the minds and bod
les of her subjects. Has she inherited
some imperceptblc right TO extend her
dominion over us Arc we TO be her
slaves in mind, fnot in body! No, in
deed The time has come for us to look
upon her, without any proslration Of the
intellect. 1t is fitting for us TO examine
all things searchiugly, and to hold fast,
only that which is good. 1t may be con-
jeclurcd then, that | am not disposed to
place any very high estimate on Egypt
ian civilization. This much, however,
must be acknowledged though the earl
lest aud LOWEST, it was still a form of
human civilization. Further than this,
! am not prepared to go, nor will bow
down in abjecl humiliation before the
ugly sphinx.
1t would be reversing the order of ma
ture, TO suppose that man, Immediately
on emerging from barbarism, by one
leap, as it were, reached the highest PIN
nacle OF mental and moral culture Nei-
ther does history thus mark the steps of
human progress. The child totlers be-
fore it gains the firm and steady tread Of
manhood. We are put TO our alphabet,
before we can comprehend the more ab-
struse demonstrations of the higher
mathematics. 1t was not IN his cradle,
that DemostlIenes Numbered forth those
words of fire, that made Philip Iremble
on his throne. Cicero needed no nurse,
to hold him up before listening Senate,
while he started even the hardened Cats
