VARIETY.
BY HON. MRS. NORTON.

A sailor left his native land,
A simple gift he gave;
A sea-shell gather'd by his hand,
From out the ripping wave;
Oh, love, by this remember me
Far inland thou must dwell,
But thou shalt hear the sounding sea,
In the murmur Of the she'll.
All, wo is me! with tatter'd sail
The ship is wildly tost!
Adrownipg cry is on the gale,
They sink--and all are LOST.
While happy, yet untouched by fear,
Repeating his farewell,
Poor Mary smiles, and loves to hear
The murmur Of the shell.
The tidings wrecked her simple brain;
And smiling now she goes,
A mad girl-reckless of her pain
Unconscious of her woes;
But when they ring the village chimes,
That TOLD the lovers knell,
She signs and says she hears at times
Death music in the she'll

Setting out Orchards.

As an orchard is intended to last for
life-time or longer, the utmost care
should DE observed in the selection Of
the kinds Of fruit to be planted therein.
1t costs no more TO raise good apple
than bad one, while the former will
find reader market and better price
than the latter. But we desire il also to
be understood that good fruit cannot be
expected TO grow upon poor land. We
recommend that all sites intended for
orchards SHOULD be congenia 10 the
fruit TO be grown thereon, and that great
care should be observed in the manuring
and preparation Of the soil. As to the
manure, we think a compost of equal
parts of stable or barn-yard manure and
marsh mud, in which say ten bushels Of
ashes, and five bushels of bone dust
were mixed with every twenty double
horse cart loads of the two first named
articles, would prove as good manure as
could be applied; of such compost a,
least twenty loads should be put broad
cast upon each acre, ploughed in, and
the ground snb-soiled, and narrowed, and
rolled. In setting out the trees we
would give to each at least half bushcl
of the compost, mixed with the surface
soil; this would furnish food for the
young trees on their first starting next
Spring. If the orchard ground had not
been previously lined, ii should be treat
ed to fifty or one hundred bushels per
acre, as soon after the trees were planted
as may be convenient. In the course of
the next Spring ard the early part of the
Summer, two or three workings, at inter-
walls Of few weeks, would promote the
growth Of the trees or crop of corn or
potatoes may be grown between them.
