Love in u Printing Office.

and with my cheek smarting with pain

AS she jerked herself from my arms, her
foot struck the lye-pot and over it went.
Ano her galley OF editorial was sprinyled
on the floor, and in her cfft,ts to reach
the door her foot slipped and she fell

the ink-keg. She slowly drew it forth
from the keg, dripping with ink, and
asked NE what use made of that tar.

Agricultural.
Grating EvergrcenS>

The French nurserymen are very sue
cessful in grating evergreens, and prac-
ticc it as follows: The proper time for
grating pines is when the young shoots
have made about three-quartcrs of their
length, and are still SO herbaceous as to
break like shoot of asparagus. The
shoot Of the stock is then broken of
about two inches below its terminal bud,
tue leaves are stripped off from twenty
to twenty-fOur lines down from the ex-
semity, leaving, however, two pairs of
leaves opposite and close to the head OF
the shoot so heaped back-which leaves
are of great importance in drawing up
the sap. The shoot or stock is then
split to the depth of two inches, with a
very thin knife, between the two pairs
of leaves left; the scion is then prcpar-
ed-the lower part being stripped of its
leaves to the length of two inches, and
inserted in the ordinary mode of cleft
grating. The graft is tied with slip
of wooden, and cap of paper is fasten-
ed to a stake, and firmly fixed over the
whole graft, to protect it from the IN
and rain. At the end OF fifteen days
this cap is removed, and the ligature at
the end Of 4 month"; Some cvercreens
grated in this way, make a second
growth of five or six inches the first
year, but most sorts do not start till the
next year.-HOrttcuLimrist.

have made an experiment with null
ching goosebcrry beds with tan-bark
and SO far as one years experience is
worth any thing, [ am well satisfied
with it. The great difficulty with the

heat and want Of moisture My bushes
are planted in quarters, three feet and
a-half apart each way, trained to single
stems. [ have hitherto lost quite half
the crop by mildew. Early last Novem-
Der, after pruning the plants and dress
ing the borders, and digging in plenty
of stable manure, | hauled several loads
of tan with my team, and spread it uni
formly all over the bed, six inches thick.

remains. The foliage of the bushes is

STRAwGERRICs-Season for PLanting
hem.-It is quite singular, that such
apathy and neglect should exist in regard
to the easy means by which any family
may be supplied with enough and to
spare of this most healthy and delicious
of fruits. n very small allotment OF
grodud, formed into beds 3. feet wide,
each containing four rows of plants, a
foot asIruder from each other, will be all
that is required. The present is the
proper period for planting them, and, if
kept free from weeds for few weeks.
until the runners from the main plants
begin to fill up the spaces between them,
they will exact no farther labor, and
each family may thus enjoy, independ-
emily, the fragrant and delightful pro-
duct of their own garden. Some pru-
dcnce should be exercised in the selcc-
ton of varieties. Among the best are
the Prolific Scarlet, LIE Baron, Primatc
Charlotte, Superlative, MOnstrous Swain,
