THE OPTIMIST.*

Taking for its motto this passage from Richter
awe ought to value little joys more than great
ones, the night-gown more than the dress-cost
Plutus's heaps are less worth than his handouts
and not great but little good haps can make US
happy "-this is really one of the sweetest and
pleasantest books which has fallen into our hands
since we read the hundred pages of Steele Haz-
lit and Leigh Hunt 1t consists of series Of
gracefully-written essays upon a variety of mat
tiers pertaining to daily life and society, all which
are discussed in the haf-serious, half playful style
which BELTS them, and with the genial humanity,
urbanity, and good nature, which are character
istic of the author. 1t is the book Of all others
which we would commend to summer tourists and
sojourners at watering places, to the invalid, and
the over-tasked Of mind and body. Its calm,
quiet appreciation of the beautiful in common
and daily life, its grateful presentation Of the
compensatory elements Of our existence, its cath
Ollie sympathies, and delcacy of taste and feeling,
are well calculated to minister to a mind dis
eased by too much familiarity with stilted he
roics melodramatic literature, and strong writ
ing' 1t is a book for the household and the
heart, full of pleasant fancies and apt illus
trations from the poets, simple, unpreending,
and modest and we think no one can rise from
its perusal without kind thought for its amsble

MAINE AND THE PR0yIS0.

Welearn from paragraph in the NHioaa' IL
tslgenoer Of Monday, that certain resolutions
concerning Slavery were taken up in the Ltgls-
lature Of Maine on Wednesday, and were pissed
upon by yeas and nays. The first was unani'
mously adopted.
Resolred, las the sense of the people OF This
State) That California ought to be promptly AMI
Internationally admitted into this Union, IN &C
cordance with her application 70 Congress '0r

The second resolution was as follows
- Resolped, That Territorial Governments onge'
to he formed for New Mexico and Utah, prom,
itipg slavery therein, and that no TerritorA'
Government should be formed without an express
prohibition 10 that effect
Adopted: yeas l02, nays 81.
The third resolution was against connecting
California admission with any other slavery queS-
ton, and was carried 1906 to 20. The fourth resO-
luton, instructing and requesting their Senators
and Representatives in Congress to carry out 'n'
above resolutions and not to vote in any sme''
geucy for any territorial admission when aos'
not positively prohibi, slavery, was carr'e' -

have stood yeas 20, nays 40-or two-thirds
against the extension Of the Missouri Compromise
line. The Nashville Convention gentry may
learn from this how much consideration is at
tached to their counsels.
The substitute having been voted down, Mr.
Davis Of Massachusetts, obtained the floor, and in
speech commenced on Friday and closing the
next day, opposed with great force the whole
project of the Committee of Thirteen. We have
seldom listened to speech in the Senate, on the
Territorial Question, so sound, so clear, and 80
conclusive
Mr.. Cooper of Pennsylvania followed him, with
a statement Of the reasons which would govern
hiuifn sOting for the Compromise. This gentle
man, it will be recOllected before his election was
jealous Wilmot Proyiso mana fierce opponent
Of slavery. From the time he took his seat in the
Senate, he has made no speech for liberty, but
from the beginning Of the movement in favor Of
compromise, he has steadily supported it by his
votes. His speech last Saturday and Monday
was but poor vindication Of his course. Thai
he is incorporating his constituents there car
be little doubt We are informed that in the
Committee of Thirty, appointed by the late
Wing State Convention Of Pennsylvania, resolu.
tions introduced IN Iavor OF the Co~pGSz:Bs
received but three Out Of thirty votes; and that
resolution complimentary to Mr.. Cooper was
voted down by twenty-three TO seven.
Mr.. Cooper was followed by Mr.. Upham Of
Vermont, who in long, written speech, occupy
ing about three hours in the delivery, argued
strongly against the Compromise, and in favor
of the policy of the Ordinance of 1887.
Tuesday afternoon Mr.. Seward obtained the
floor, and made speech of remarkable power on
the general question, opposing all compromises
affirming broad and radical principles, and giving
utterance to many bold and lofty sentiments
The general discussion will probably occupy
the remainder of the week, and the question may
be taken next week.

grains, although on the seaboarj the air is too
cool for the ripening of Indian corn. Enormous
crops of wheat may be obt lined by irrigation,
such AZ was successfully practiced by the great
Jesuit missions; aud, without 1t, from forty to
fifty bushels to the bushel of seed have been

grow luxurantly and wild, self.sown on all the
hills Of the coast, furnishing abundant supplies
for horses. Irish potatoes grow to great size
and all edible roots cultivated in the States are
produced in perfection, without irrigation.
The climate Of San Francisco is unouestion-
ably disagreeable; the cold, fierce winds which
sweep over the bay, and they alternating with
extreme heats, are prejudicial to health and CON-
fort. Inland, however, in the beautiful valleys of
San Jose and Los Angeles, the climate is all that
could be desired. The heat during the summer
months Is indeed great, but its dryness renders
it more endurable than the damp sultrinesss Of
an Atlantic August. At Los Angeles, latitude

Our author describes with poets enthusiasm
the fine atmospheric effects Of the Californian
sunsets. Fresh from his travels in Italy, and With
the dust Of that Pnciau hill still on his sandals
from whence Claude sketched his sunsets, he de-
e'ares that his memory Of that classic atmosphere
seems cold and pale, when he thinks of the splsn-
dor Of evening on the bay and mountains Of San
Francisco.

Our nearest neighbor was Squire Pelep
Sanford; well the old Squire and his family
was all Of them the most passionate felix's
that ever lived, when they chose, and then
they could keep in their temper, and be as
cool as a cucumber. One night old Peleu
as he was called, told his son Gocum. a
boy OF fourteen years old, to 60 and bring

fire, this is always the biggest stick that one
can find to carry. 1t takes stout chunk
of boy to carry one
Well, as soon as Gocum goes to fetch
the log, the old Squire drags forward the
Goals, and fixed the fire so as to leave red
hot bed for it, and stands by ready to fit it
into its place. Presently in comes Gocum,
with little cat.stidk, no bigger than his
leg, and throws it on the fire. Uncle Peleg
was so mad that he never said word, but
seized his riding-whip and gave him most
awful whipping lie tanned his hide proper
ly, you may depend. Now said he, 60
Sir, and bring in proper back-log.'
Gocum was clear grit as well as the old
man, for he was a chip Of tn old block,
and no mistake; so out he goes, without
so much as saying a word-but instead of
going out to the wood pile, no walked off
altogether, and stayed away eight years, un.
til he was one-and-twenly and his own mas.
ter. Well, as soon as he was man grown,
and lawfully on his own hook, he took it
into his head he'd 60 home and see his old
father and mother AUain and chou, ,b,t ba

heard from him one blessed word all that
time. When he arrived at The old house,
DAYLIGHT was down and the lights lit, and
as he passed the keepin' room winder, he
looked in, and there was the old Squire,
siItin' in the same chair he was eight years
aIore, when he ordered in the backlog and
gave him such an onmerciful whippin'.-
So what does Gocum do but stop at the
wood pile and picks up most hugeaceons
log for he had grown to be most thunder

marched in and laid it down on the hearth,
and then lookin up said

Manure for Fruit Trees.

"What is the best manure for fruit trees,
to spade or work in near the roots, of gem
era APPLICATION"
The following has been found, after sew
eral years experience, to constitute one of
the best manures for fruit trees generally
A mixture ofpeat or swamp muck. with
one-half to one quarter Of its bulk of stable
manure, and about one-twentieth of leached
ashes. These ingredients should lie in a
heap together for few weeks, and then be
worked over, If for perch trees, the soap
suds from the laundry thrown over the heap
will improve 1t. If for cherry trees, which
will not bear high manuring, the porpotion
of peat or muck should be larger, and with
less yard manure and ashes.
There are some other ingredients which
may occasionally be added to advantage, as
ground or dissolved bones, light soil, &c,
where a strong manure is needed.

An Orchard Of Olden Times.

In 1897. John Gerarde published in Lon

which, to encourage those Of his day to
plant orchards, he says, "The tame and

orchards for tbgt purpose. They delight to

AQrttultural,
Close and Liberal Feeding.

A. Todd, Of SmithGeld, R. L., states in
the n Il. Farmer that he had five cows
pa5turcd On piece Of land, but not feeling
satisfied with the amount of feed they OBJ
tained, he sold one at the close CT the year.
He consequently found that the four yielded
"A greater net pQft than the five had done.
"CoacIoding in my mind" says he, "that
if four cows were more profitable than five,
on the same principle three might be still
better, although | find no ruIc in Adams
or Smith that supports this doctrine, | &C
cordingIy disposed ofanother, and by taking
a little extra pains with the three left,
chnrned more butter from the three than
had in any preceding year from the four OF
