TAPPING OF SUGAR TREES.

In the article upon the best time for cut
ting rail timber, it was stated that the sap
of the tree circulated principally through
the vessels found in the outside layers or
what is commonly called sap wood.
now wish to make another application oi
this fact in vegetable physiology. The
common method of tapping sugar trees to
extract the sap, is to bore them with an
inch to inch and quarter auger. this, by
removing portion OF the wood, leaves a
wound, which seldom heals over, and by
repetition often inhicts serious injury upon
the tree. | have known another plan TO
be adopted which is preferable and easier.
1t is to provide very sharp fiat gouge two
inches or more between the points, which
is driven with mallet to sufficient depth
into the sap wood, and then insert near.
ly flat spile corresponding to the incision.
The sple should only be driven in far
enough to be firm, for if driven in too far,
it would act as wedge, and by pressing
upon the orifices of the wounded vessels
prevent the flow Of the sap. As the sap
is ascending at the time of this operation,
it is only from the lower half OF the auger
cut that the sap flows. and by using the
broad gouge or chisel. you cut across a
greater number of sap vessels, and thus
obtain greater flow; and as no portion
Of wood is removed by the sharp chisel.
but only the parts separated, they will
nearly close themselves by the elasticity
of the wood when the spile is removed,
and will entirely fill up and heal over when
the sap descends in the summer completes

The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1851-03-05

In childhood, the faculty of Initiating
sounds and words seems 10 be much
stronger than it is in after-life. Whether
this arise from any peculiar condition Of
mind, or only from the want OF engrossing
cares, is of no consequence to our present
purpose. The fact is evident, that children
may with ease be accustomed to speak
any language, however difficult, and not
only one, but many languages.
If parents, therefore, wish their children
to speak French as well as English, all
they need do is to speak French to them,
or get a French nursery governess, with
whom they can spend part Of their time.
By means such as this, it would be mat
ter OF no difficulty to cause child, before
he was twelve years of age, to speak sew
eral languages-as, for example, English,
French, German, and ltalian-with per-
feet iuency and exactness. Such is the
plan usually pursued in the education Of
children in various continental countries;
and as it gives no trouble to the pupils, it
is much preferable to that adopted in Eng.
land, where the learning Of foreign tongues
is a serious drudgery at school, and occu-
pies time which should be employed on
something more dignifed than the me-
chanical acquisition of words among the
English nobility, we believe, the plan of
employing French nursery governesses is
becoming common Chambers

A DANCE IN CHURCH.

One warm Sunday In early summer
few years ago, female, who had recent
ly emigrated from the "green isle" attired
in short red cloak, with capacious
hood attached to it, strolled into one of our
most fashionable Episcopal churches. As
she had lived in a region settled by strict
Presbyterians, who eschewed instrumen-
tai music in their churches, her mind al
ways associated music and dancing to-
gether. Her proficiency in the latter ac-
complishment had been frequently CON-
plimented, when in her younger days she
figured in the country reels Of her neigh
borhood. On the occasion referred to.
she took her seat in one OF the forward
pews, whose door seemed invitingly open.
She had not sat long, however, before a
company of dashing bellies (the owners OF
the pew arrived, under the conduct Of a
spruce young man, who directly proceed
ed with the utmost politeness, to bow the
occupant from the pew.
At the same moment the organ began to
pour forth its streams of harmony. The
good woman was at first completely con-
founded, but seeing the gentlemen still
bowing gracefully and beckoning her into
the isle, she became assured in her own
mind, that she had unwittingly s,rolled in
to place appropriated to "the light fan
tastic toe," and the love of her former
habits having been not quite extnguished,
she Jumped up, exclaiming. swell can,
if maunna! can if mammal and
began capering up and down the aisle to
the utter astonishment of the congregation,
vino could not restrain their laughter at the
grotesque spectacle. How the matter was
explained TO the woman we have never
learned, but her modification when she did
understand it, may be easily imagined.

BOYS OUT AFTER NIGHT.FALL.

have been an observer, as am SYM
pathsng lover of boys. | like to see
them happy, cheerful, gleesome. | am
not willing that they be cheated out Of The
rightful heritage of youth-indeed, can
hardly understand how high-toped use
ful man can be the ripened fruit of a boy
who has not enjoyed fair share of the
privileges due to youth. But while watch
with very jealous eye all rights and GUS
toms which entrench upon the proper rights
Of boys, am equally apprehensive lest
who have not habituated themselves to
close observation upon the subject, permit
their sons indulgences which are almost
certain to result in their decentralization. if
not in their total ruin; and among the hab-
its which have observed as tending most
surely to ruin, know of none more prom
inent than that of parents permitting their
sons to be in the streets after nightfall
1t is ruinous to their morals in almost all
instances-they acquire, under the cover
of night, an unhealthful and excited state
of mind; bad, vulgar, immoral and pro-
fame language, obscene practices, crmi-
nal sentiments, lawless and riotous bear
ing; indeed it is in the street after nightfall
that boys principally acquire the educa-
ton of the bad, and capacity for becom-
ing rowdy, dissolute, criminal men. Par
ents should in this particular have most
rigid and inhexible rule, that will never
permit son under any circumstances,
whatever, to 60 into the street after night
fall, with view Of engaging in out of
door sports or meet other boys for social
or chance occupation. A rigid rule of
this kind, invariably adhered to will soon
deaden the desire for such dangerous prac-
tees. Boys should be taught TO have
pleasure around the family centre table in
reading, in conversation, and in quiet
amusements. Boys, gentlemen s sons, are
seen in the street after nightfall, behaving
in manner entirely destructive of all
good morals Fathers and mothers, keep
your boys at home at night, and see that
you take pains TO make your homes pleas
ant attractive, and profitable to them; and
above all, with a view of their security
from future destruction, let them not be-
come, while forming their characters for

merry party. The lady, giving her hand

statue of the widows deceased husband

TITS HARD-When mother loses her
first-born, it reminds us of little bud,
torn rudely from the parent stem. The
flower drops its beautiful head, and be-
dews with its newly gathered chrystals
the stricken one. Oh! what agony rushes
forth with every exclamation, as the mother
gently parts from the cold, pale forehead,
the clustering curls; as she presses those
sweet lips, vieing with marble in whiteness,
and marks the yet unsunken oval of the
cheek. After she has heard each clod fall,
with dull, heavy sound, upon the dear
ones narrow tenement, and find dismal
echo in her heart, how dreary seems the
home, which was enlivened but few
short days before. by her frst-born's pratt
tie. Turn where she will, some little thing
reminds her, o how forcibly, Of the
lost one. In that hour of anguish,
very sweet is the consolation of Religion.
If she is Christian mother, her knee is
sought in prayer to him, who doeth every
thing well; and as her heart is gradually
unburthened of lis heavy load. she feels
less the stings Of anguish, and more the
peace Of mind which He alone can be-
stow. Mother, in thy hour of affliction,
fiy unto the Saviour
