Surfeit of Fruit Trees.

The best growth, and the finest fruit. are
always TO be expected, when the tree is furnish
ed with the materials of nutriment in Just
the same proportion. If greatly deficient in
any essential ingredient, the tree languishes
from starvation. If any highly nutritive sub
stance is in large overdose the tree may be
sQrfeited or poisoned. We have seen fine
cherry as completely killed by embanking II
heavily with horse manure, as any animal
with a dose of arsenic But in the Eastern
and Middle States, this is rare evil. 1t
sometimes happens, indeed, that pear trees
are rendered more liable to blight, and peach
es to frost, by high manuring in low rich val
Ieys. The greatest difficulty, throughout this
region. is the starvation of fruit trees
There is not one case in hundred, where
better fruit, and more of it, would be obtain
cd by a deeper and richer soil for the roots to
run and feed in; Or by the removal, by
means Of clean culture, Of all weeds, or other
vegetable growth, which may rob the tree Of
its full share Of the riches Of the soil.
In large portions Of the great fertile west
the case is quite different. The long and hot
summers, In connexion with the severe frosts
Of the winters, render more caution neces-
sary in the application of manure, tae natu-
raj richness beng often enough, without any
manure. As applying to such localities, the

With step secure and free,
To take its straight and onward pace,
Ger life's path with me.
Wanted-a form erect and high,
A head above my own
So much that might walk beneath

Wanted-an eye, within whose depth
Mine own might look and sec

With whom my own might pass along
The road that leads to HEAVEN.

One parting wreath of melody.

From one who feels It's sad TO part.
And if it be that strains of mine
Have glided from my heart to thine,
Ny voice was but the breeze that swept
The spirit chords that in thee slept
The music was not all my own
Thou gavest back the answering tone.

Long absent scenes return once more,
Where'er the wanderers home may be,
Still, still viii memory turn TO thee.
Bright Freedom clime-I feel thy spell.

every eye was fixed upon her face with an

Vacancy for a Doctor.

Greimer, the Indian agent in New Mexico.
wrote home ON the 3lst Of March, that he
knew of an opening for an enterprising ply
sician. 4 vacancy had happened and he
told why. One of the Eutaws on the San
Juan River was taken sick, and an Indian
doctor from the Rio Verde was called in to
attend him. Owing to the strength of the
disease, or to the weakness of the prescription
Of the doctor, the patient died and was bur
led. After the funeral the doctor was taken
by the friends of the deceased, tied up, shot
and scalped: his wife's hair was cut off; his
house burned, containing al his property,
and all his animals killed. This is the law
among these indians regulating doctors. The
vacancy is vet untitled.

Not long since, a young girl, eleven wears
of age, who lived in Paris, attempted to muir
der her mother, sister, and many of her play
mates, Tor the purpose Of drinking their
blood. After Il careful examination by
scientific man, it was declared that she was
subject to the strang" and terrible mania of

age. lie preserves Of the episodes of his
past life only Il confused memory. like the
recollection Of q painful dream. In other
days, science feared to approach these suffer-
crS.
In II19, young man named Forage un-
der the influence of this malady, suddenly
left his companions and surrendered himself
up to this horrible propensity. He selected,
as his retreat, a cavern near the top of one of
the mountains of Azure, whence he used to
descend, like = beast of prey, into the cham
paigna country, killing all the women he
could eat nothing else, and was constantly
seen to gaze, as if in wait for an opportunity
to seize his prey. He never went abroad
without a double barreled gun, belt full
Of pistols, and a dagger So great was the
terror that he inspired, that he used frequently
to come into towns for food or ammunition

unirersal Suffrage in France.

Louis NAPOLEON made considerable dis
play, says the Hartford Times, in permitting
universal suffrage, in the election just past;
butit all amounted to nothing. His own
tools were appointed to receive, return AMI
count the votes, and they returned large ma
.jorities for him, Of course. The fraud in this
matter was apparent when Napoleon issued
an edict, that all the potcs should be Destroy
cd as soon as counted. Another feature in
the election was seen in the votes themselves.
No votes were allowsd to be circulated un'
less the name Of the printer was on them
and as there are no printers there except be,
tween thirty and forty licsnsed ones, the yote'
were all ycS-for Napoleon!
