WHY SHOULD WE EVER BE SAD,

Oh! why should we ever be sad
When with pleasure all nature is bcnming7
The birds and the Row'rets arc glad,
And the sunlight is joyously streaming.
The vale and the stream wear n smile,
The soft summer clouds gaze down brightly;
And the zcphyrs laugh merrly, while
They dance through tie forest boughs lightly
Fen the grim, frowning vishge of Night
En,hroncd in his sable Pavilion;
Relaxcs beneath the bland light
or star-eyes many million.
And Ocean, whose dolcful complaint
Day and night, and for aye, is resoundng;
Der his wild pillows holds no restraint,
And ID mirth to the shore they are bounding
Then why should we ever be sad,
When the wide earthis glowing with plessurei
'Tis surely worth while to be glad,
Or nature would deem it no treasure.
This world is a beautiful world,
And our spirits should mirror its beauty.
Loves banner, within us unfurled,
With ardor will cheer to ow duty.
A glance from love-lighted eye
A smile ever placid and cheerfal-
Will make every dull shadow fly
From the orbs that were saddened and fearful,
Blithe words have magical power
To subduc in tho heart Cares dominion;
Ill-temper may triumph an hour,
Then conquered she'll spread her black Pinion.
'Twcrc pleasant, if only by name
We mortas knew trouble and sorrow,
But life is not always the same,
And bright eve may bring dark morrow.
Yet, since changes must ever bctide,
And from darkness there is no protection,
We will look on the sunncst side,
And our faces will bear its reflection.

FRUIT TREES RY THE ROADSIDE
The practice of setting out fruit trees by
the roadside cannot be too highly recon-
mcndc,i. In many parts OF Europe this
practice is general, and the fatigued ira.
weller acknowledges the well timed hos.
pitality thus afforded him. The excuse
is often made that the fruit will be stolen ;
but if the practice were general, the
amount of fruittakcn by wayfarers, would
only be what common hospitality would
freely grant; and in Germany every third
tree, by custom, may be taboocd, the own
cr of the adjoining farm ties piece OF
rag to one of the lower limbs of the tree,
and no traveller will touch it. Travellers
inform US that no reward will tempt a
German stage driver to rcgalc his passen,
gers with fruit from marked trce--two
out of three being left to his use if de-
sired, renders the selected tree free from
the chance of being used. The amount
Of fertilzing material continually wasted
upon roads would be availing by such a
practice, and nothing but extreme selfish.
ness will prevent the use of these material
for public benefit. Many Of the larger
sort of fruit trees are highly ornamental
and afford fine shade, while use of fruit
trees alone for shade, like the display of
costly mansions, only excite the poor to
envy, without adding materially to their
comfort.-Working Farmer.

and Winter.
Frequent complaints are made by those
who are limited in their gardening opera.
tions, that whatever manures they apply
to their gardens, burn up their crops when
the heat of summer comes on. We have
felt this Inconvenience too, and in looking
around to find a remedy, have come to
the conclusion that whenever garden re-
quires stimulating manures, they should
be applied in the fail or winter. In this
way rank stable manure may be applied,
and spaded or plowed under Immediately.
1t will have become by spring the proper
food Of plants, and as all manures leech
upwards, the surface soil will be in fine
condition for the growth of vegetables; /;
whereas, if the manure is applied in plant.
ing time, especially the crude manures
generally applied here, just as vegetables
are most required, they are fired by action
of the sun on the mature, and the gar
dener has the modification TO find his labor
and money thrown away. Whatever ma
nurcs are applied in the spring should be
well rotted or Of cooling nature. There
are many families that annually waste a
barrel or two of leeched ashes, when, had
it been applied to the garden patch, they
would have had "carly yorks" as well as
their ncighbors.
The soap.suds from the wash is ma.
nurc that may be applied with safety and
with profit in the spring; and yet how few
ever use them except to enrich the earth
around their kitchens, and make loath-
some holes, when flowers. luscious fruits,
and mammoth vegetables might have been
made by them. We do not yet properly
appreciate the Importance of a garden.
The bearing it has upon the happiness
and health of Il family is plainly perccpti,
bic whenever we find a well conducted
garden; how highly important, then, that
we should understand the proper food of
plants. He would certainly be mad

Our garden soils can scarcely be too rich,

stable manure was applied in the spring,

came in contact with. Ho, then, for your

up, and cover your gardens quickly

when the early seed time comes you need
not fear but harvest will follow.
We copy the above from the Columbus
Enquirer and we highly approve of the
advice given. Many manures have too

KEEP YoUR LANDS FROM WAsn1Sc.-
The first condition with every farmer and
planter should be to keep his lands from
washing away. Until this is done he ma
nures in vain. This is easily done by
proper hillside ditching, and a little at
tention to the bitches in keeping them
open after they are properly constructed.
In this way he saves both manure and
land. Instead of wearing out his farm, if
high rolling land, in ten years he may
have it greatly improved in soil and fer
tility.
