To MAKE YOUNG PEAR TREES Be.

To MAKE YOUNG PEAR TREES BEAR.
i was afflicted by the sight of my gar
den for four or five years, of the most
luxurient and thrifty young pear trees
which would not bear, but all their
strength ran to wood. 1 resolved to try
the effect of bending down the branches
SO as to check the flow of the sap, and
cause them to form fruit buds instead of
wood buds. Accordingly, the first week
of December, drove down some small
pegs into the ground under my trees,
then tied string to the end of every
shoot, and gradually bringing it down so
as to make considerable bend or bow,
1 fastened it in that position, either by
tying the other end of the string to the
peg, or to another branch, or part Of
the trunk.
According to my expectation, the tree
the next year changed its habits Of
growth, and set an abundance of fruit
buds. Since then, I have had plentiful
crops of fruit without trouble taking
care not to let many branches 90 on thl
upright system.-HorticuLurist.

WHAT is THE DESIGN OF MANUREs /?

WHAT is THE DESIGN OF MANUREs
1t is to furnish the soil with those
elementary substances that enter into
the formation of vegetable structures !;
for if the soil does not contain an ade-
quate quantity of these substances, the
farmer would obtain only feeble crop
Without this supply vigorous vegeta-
ton cannot be produced. This is seem
ingly sclf-cvidcnt. In human art, if a
machine is to be formed there must be
a supply of the materials of which it is
te be constructed. A man might be
considered insane were he to talk o.
constructing fence, or plow, or &
wagon, without the wood and iron need
ed for them. And not less so in talking
of raising plants without the requisite
elements for them.

Bas- In catching sheep, never seize
them by the wool on the back, it hurts
them exceedingly, and has in some cases
been known to kill them, particularly in
hot weather, if they are large and fat.
Indeed, the best way is to. avoid the
wool altogether, and to accustom your
self to take them by the hind legs, or
what is bcttcr, by the neck, placing one
hand under the jaw, and the other at the
back of the ears: by lifting up the heed,
a child may hold almost any sheep.

BREEDING ANIMALs.-The principle.
of breeding animals have rather been il.
lustrated than discovered by animal
physiology-the very principles of that
science having been taught before sin.
gle scientific axiom had been applied.
The watching of physiological tenden-
cies and availing themselves of these lu-
diciously in practice, was long anterior
to scientific research. Emulating the
skill of the willy progenitor of the jew
ish race, and intelligently perceiving
what was required, Culley and Bake
well attempted and attained the produc
tion of sheep and cattle, /" ring-streaked,
spotted and speckled" at pleasure. See
ing the necessity of economizing food,
they set about producing those animals
that come to maturity early, and pro-
duced vastly more flesh from the same
amount of vegetation. Knowing that
fat was an element of favor in northern
cline, they endeavored to obtain animals
with tendency to secrete it in large
quantities. In order to do this, they
observed the qualities indicative of these
propensities; and knowing that it is as
true in physiology as in mathematics,
that like produces like, they selected
and breed from these until they stamp
ed their qualities permanently, i.,vari-
ably and indelibly on the race. With
these they managed to combine symme-
try of form.-Farmer's Magazine.

"7ake it Easy"--Years enough have we had
in its ways, and great tribulation enough have
we passed through, to confidently state, after
mature reflection upon the past,and due consid-
erationsof the probabilitiessof the future, that
the best philosophy is that which teaches US to
take eur fortune, be it good or i'll, with the
most imperturbable calmness and good humor
We never knew man who looked complacent-
ly on all kinds Of luck, Ito come out at the lit
tie end of the horn, while, on the contrary, your
fretting, irraseibe man, who has the blues eter-
nally is sure to debefore the frost kills off the
vegetables. Now we have not two cents in
our pockets, and if past experience guides our
hopes,s we don't expect to have for six months
to come, yet no man bites an unpaid for crust
with greater relish than ourselves, and nobody
expects greater degree of future beatitude.
The loafer who remarked to his compassion in
misery and equestrianism, whom the boys had
put astride the small rail,-"Take it easy, Jem;
it hurts us to vurm ourselves about, more nor
sitdoes the rail-" was philosopher of the first
water, and should have had premium for the
discovery of the first principle. The worlds a
rail on which we are all astride stake it easy"

Cayenne.-Many of those political exiles
hurried bv wholesale from France by Louis Ma.
poleon, are banished to the French colony OF
Cayenne, where deadly climate awaits them
and where the means ofsubsistence are of diff
Icult attainment. Of these banished victims, the
London Times says: q
To most of those thus abruptly torn from
their homes, their professions aud their coun-
try, exile is total ruin.. 1t has even been him
ted that sequestrations of property, and upon
the largest scale, are held IN terrorem over the
heads of those who may be supposed to be
most hostile to the present State Of things,
though theyno longer inhabit the territory of
France. The unfortunate wretches now on
the point of sailing for Cayenne will be landed
on a. a.swampy island in South America, cut off
by a rivera league wide from the main land of
French Guiana, situated only four degrees north
Of the equator, and utterly devoid even of the
resources of manual industry. The population
of CAYENNE does not exceed 1000. whites and
5000 negroes, andAthe colony is totally unpre-
pared for the ereceptiongof a large Immigration
of men who have figured in the political and
social life of France. To call penal set
stlement would be an outrage on the former
Governments France, forronesof thenwould
have daredto found penal settlement in eli
mate notoriously destructive to European life.
1t is asbagne fol. liberal opinions transported
within thestropics, and filled with journalists
and politicians, not by the courts Of justice,
but by the authority of the police.

Senator Clemens and Henry Clay.-Mr.
Clemens, in concluding his brilliant speech in
the U. S. Senate on non-intervention, made
the following beautiful allusion to the Father
of the Whig party, the ilustrious Henry Clay.
1t is noble and wel-Geserved tribute from
the youngest member Of the Senate to its
greatest ornament:
"Mr President we have all read recently,
and none of us trust without deep feeling, the
opinions of the venerable statesman whose bo-
Oily infrmity now keeps him from among us.
Who is there with higher wisdom than his!
Who is there with wider experience! Who
is there with so few motives to deceive himself
or others assto the true interests of his country!
His voice comes to US clothed with all the sane
tity the grave can give, with the added knowl-
edge Of existing things, which the grave must
take away. Standing upon the verge of two
worlds, and looking back upon that WHICH he
is about to leave, his heart swelling with patrio-
tism little less than holy, his vision clear and
unelouded by the passions and prejudices
which dim our sight, he tells us that ours is a
missionof peace, not a mission of blood: that
to avoid all interference in the affairs of other
nations, to preserve our own independence, to
live for America, to labor for America, and, if
need be, to die for America, is sacred duty,
the performance of which will best serve the
cause of human liberty in every land beneath
the sum- Sir, / shall follow his advice If my
own judgment differed from his, i should dis
trust it, and feel inclined rather to be governed
by the suggestions of him whom all men of
every party have agreed to name patriot, states
man, sage" >
