TRANsPLANTING TREES in taking up trees
ior transpantil.g, regard should always be had to
their size, and due proportion should be preserved
between the size of the tree and the amount of root
attached. A deficiency of root may be partially
but not wholly compensated by dminunition or
entire removal Of the top; but there should always
be root enough to supply nourishment to the body,
(Which, 1t large, requires the more to sustain it,
and top enough to digest it. A deficiency of top,
however, is less fatal, especially in the early part Of
the season, than deficiency Of root for if there
be enough Of the latter, the tree will readily make
enough Of the former as fast as il shall be needed /:
but II there be deficiency of root, although the
tree may live and even grow for time on account
OF It's innate, vital energies, yet it will probably die
before the close of the season.
1t Is for this reason that many trees that start
well are often found TO die in the latter part of the
Summer, Notwithstanding all other circumstances
seem to favor their preservation. 1t is mistake to
suppose that If tree begins to grow all risk is
at an end The first season will not always decide
Tor that shall be peculiarly favorable, small root
may sustain tree through it but the consequence
oil small root may be corresponding small top,
and OF both, dead strip running the whole length
OF the tree occupying, perhaps, one-third, or one
nail oi Its whole circumference. Some trees have
much greater tenacily of life than others, and
hence may grow with much smaller root, or even
with none at all But with these exceptions there
should always be direct proportion between the
SIZE oil tree and its root and inverse proportion
between the root, and the tenacity Of life ;-i q.
the less the tenacity Of life the greater should be lhe

MAKING HOOKS AND EYES.

The New York Evening Post has letter
from correspondent in Connecticut from
which we copy the following
Upon the premises we were shown the works
of the Waterbury Hook and Eye Company,
where capital of $4,000 is employed in the
manufacture Of hooks and eyes. Here were
arranged long rows of little machines about
the size of small washstands, under which
constant shower of feminine conveniences was
pouring down. but from what cause or what
agency it Was difficult to conjecture Upon n clo-
ser inspection, large spool Of wire was perceiv-
ed revolving slowly in the rear, growing shorter
inch by inch in mechanical harmony with the
machinery, while iron fingers curiOusly articu-
lated were ready to grasp the severed frag-
ment, and pass it along from change to change
until it finally dropped into the receptacle be-
meath, perfect hook or eye, ready for use
For u moment it seemed az if each machine
was instinct with life and intelligence. The pow
err of speech seemed to be all that was wanting
to complete the delusion. There were but four
or five men in the ROOM who passed around oc-
casionally from one stand to another to oil the
machinery, to supply new wire when the pre-
yious spool was consumed, or to empty the vessels
when filled by the silvery shower. The whole
performance more resemblcd the voluntary
process of nature than the result of mechanical
art
The duty of the superintendent of one of
these machines seemed to me curously alike
to that of the gardener who plants his peach
stone, which, after many days, sprouts grows
into a tree, blooms and finally bears peaches,
which, when ripe, drop from its branches,
and are gathered for use.

Therefore | give thee this advice, the result of

dear son; we must seek for it. That which
you see, scrutinize carefully; and with regard
to things unseen and eternal rely on the word
of God Search no one so closely as myself
Within us dwells the judge who never deceives,
and whose voice is more to us than the applause
of the world and more than all the wisdom of

LIVING IN ANTIOCH.

We take the following brief account from
Sketches of Oriental Life, by F. A. Neale, Esq. !:
Antioch is, beyond dispute, the cheapest
place in the world, as well as one of the health
lest and if it were not for the ragged little
boys who boot at every stranger, and throw
stones at his door, annoying you in every pos
sible way, should prefer it as place Of resi-
dence to any spot ! have visited in Europe,
Asia Africa or America.
My house was of perfectly new construction,
well planted, and well situated. and proof
against water, as well as wind ! had four
rooms--a sttng-roon, dining-room, bed
ROOM and dressing groom ! had walled en-
closure of about eighty feet square, where roses
and geraniums We'd in beauty with jessamines
and lilies There was also poultry-yard, "A
pigeon-housc, stables for three horses, a store
house. Kitchen and servants room. ] had
in the garden grapevine, (muscatel,) pome-
granate-tree. a peach-tree plum-tree an apri-
cot, and China ounce and, i'm addition to all
these, a fountain perpetually letting up water,
and we'll and bathing-room For all this
accommodation, paid three hundred and fifty
pastrcs-about three pounds sterling--and
this was higher rent than would be paid by
any native Of course, the house was unfur-
grand scale divan, half dozen chairs, a
bcdstcad mattress n looking glass, table
OF two, and half dozen pipes, and narghlhes
are all one requires. Servants cost about three
pounds head per annum. Seven and hall
pounds of good mutton may be had for shil'
ling Fowls--and fat ones too-twopence each
Fish is sold by the weight-thirtcen rotolos for
beshlik, or about seventy pounds weight tor

world-threc halfpcnce each. AS for yegeta-
bles, whether cabbages, lettuces, des asperges

is sold at the same rates and grapes cost about
five shillings the horse-load. Game IL also abun.
dant Dried fruits and nuts can be obtained
in winter In fact living as we'll ms one could
wish found itimpossible-h rent servants
horses, board washing and wine, included-to
exceed the expenditure OF forty pounds per
annum
Under these circumstances it may appear
marvellous that many Europeans possessed OF
limited means have not made Antioch their
temporary home; but every question has two
sides and everything its pros and cons. The
cons, in this instance, are the barbarous char
actcr Of the people among whom you live
the perpetual liability of becoming, at one in
stant's warning, the victim of some fanatical
emeuie,- the small hopes you have of redress
for the grosscst insult offered the continual
intrigues entered into by the Ayans to disturb
your peace and comfort; the absence Of many
of the Injuries enjoyed in Europe; the want Of
society and books, and the total absence Of all
places of worship which gradually creates in
the mind morbid Indifference to religion, and
which feeling frequently degenerates into alb
solute infdelity. II is better 10 choose with
