the recollection OF the fact Tint the voice which
fret pronounced for me-and pronounced alone
came from the mother OF States; pride and graft
tudo rising far above any consequences that
betde me personally.
May / not regard it a fact pointing to the
overthrow of sectional jsalouses, and looking to
the perennial life and vigor of Union ccmented
by the blood of thosc who have passed TO their re
ward; n Union wonderful in lite formation, bound
less in its hopes, amazing in it's destiny!

Hobensack's Liver Pills.

No part of the system is more liable to
disease than the LIVER, it serving as fl
terer to purify the Blood, or giving the
proper secretion to the bile; so that any
wrong action of the liver effects the other
important parts of the system, and results
variously, in Liver Complaint, Jaundice,
Dyspepsia, &c. We should, therefore, watch
every symptom that might Indicate a wrong

GROWING TREES FROM CUTTrNcs.-A
French gentleman, named Dalacroix,
has discovered new mode of propagat-
ing trees from cuttings, which has prov
ed successful for apples, pears, plums,
apricots, &c., as well as for roses and
other plants that are tenacious of life.
This method is to bend the cutting in a
form of bow, and to put it in the
ground at the two extremities, leav-
ing only the middle part exposed
and on level with the surface of tn,
ground. There must be at the point
good bud or shoot. All other part
being protected by the earth from dry
ing, give vigor to the bud, which is 500
transformed into leaves, by which in il
turn it drawn from the atmosphere tn

roots. The method of planting is t

across the burrows between, cover tn
ends with earth, press it upon them an

Every farmer ought to have these
The shop should be situated near the
dwelling, SO that the odd moments about
the season of the meals, in the time of
showers, and rainy days, can be employ
ed in performing little jobs that need to
be done, such as repairing wagons, sleds
plows, harrows, hay racks, rakes, forks
and hoes, which have become loose in
the socket, or need new handles. These
Jobs every farmer need to have done,
and if he has not the tools to do them
with, and place to work, he must get a
mechanic, spending as much time, per-
haps, as would be required to do the
work, besides having to pay for it; or
he must let it 60 undone, which is far
oftener the case, and the implements
60 to ruin, and enough is lost in this
way in few years to pay for all
the needful tools and good shop.

This sum could not be made to pay
better interest in any other way, and
with these tools the farmer can do his
own repairing, and often make his own
implements and fixtures, such as gates,
sheds, boxes, to feed cattle in, and fit up
a thousand convenences which he would
not have about him if he was OBJ
liged to employ mechanic, and which
he can now do at times, when he cannot
do anything else to advantage. The
shop need not necessarily be expensive
or large; 16 by IL would answer most
purposes. A large door should be made
at one corner, which will admit wagon
or a sleigh for repairs. In this house
could be deposited all the implements of
the farm, where they would be preserv-
ed from the weather and exposure from
the sun, if they need repairing it can be
done at any leisure time. Indeed, the
advantages of having a place to work
and few tools to work with, are quite
sufficient, even to balance the expense
of tools and house. No one will doubt
this after having tried it.
