COLUMN Fur CHILDRE..
Your Parents Know Best.

Some children are slowto learn. or slow
to think that their parents know best what
is good for them to have, or to do.
When told to do a piece of work they
soon become tired Of it, and wish to do
something else.
| will tell YOU how James Allis learned
that his parents know best; and | hope
those children who read this story will re-
member it, and profit by his sad lesson.
One day in the spring. when he was ten
years old, his father set him to picking up
stones, and throwing them into heaps
This was in a field which was kept for a
meadow.
Ills father and an elder brother, named
John, were blowing in a field near by where
James was picking up stones. The faith
erheld the pillow, and John rode the horse.
Soon James became tired Of his work,
and wanted to ride the horse.
Ills father told hinh he was not large
enough, yet.
\ G.rH4 CO I otp iotitl , SdlQ dtuSSs Il Cdu
ride as well as john"
He continued to tease his father till he
was put on the. horse, but probably it was
done more for the purpose of teaching him
a good lesson, than TO crafty his wishes
At first James had some fear of falling.
and held the horses name with one hand,
while he guided him with the other.
Soon. he grew fearless, and began to
drum the old horse with his heels, to urge
him along.
Just then the pillow hit a stone, and away
went James, over the horses head, striking
his face in the dirt.
His mouth and eyes were filed with dus
and gravel; and the blood ran from hi.
nose.
He was so.much frightened At this, tina
he thought himself half killed.
) His father examined him, and took hin
to a brook, where. he washed off the BLOOD
and dirt.
Then he said, flames, think you have
learned a good lesson by this accident
and | hope you will remember. from this
that your parents know best what is prop
er for you to do" Ii
This lesson James did learn, aud he ha,
never forgotten it.
Now. my young friends, viii you not b,
wise and learn the same lesson from thi
incident, and not wait TO learn it from you
own painful experience?

mother told US she should always renem.
Der our kindness to her child.
But little Edgar! We could not help
weeping to see him. The doctors had been
obliged to take his foot off the day before.
but he looked very patient and seemed glad
to see US; and when Willie May told him
what we came for, he grasped his hand
and the tears rolled down his face, but he
could not speak a word.
We went home that night without any
nuts, but felt happier than all the nuts il
the world could make US for we had done
a simple but kind deed that had made 9th

Davis's Peach Orchard.

This extensive orchard, sof one hundred
acres and seventeen thousand trees, is sit.
uated in Clermont county. about sixteen
miles from the city, on a high level. be-
tween the east and ives: fork of the Little
Miami River.
The Batavia Courier informs US that
Mr.. Davis came GU from Philadelphia. q
few years ago, and purchased this white
oak land, with a clay substitute poorest
farm in the neighborhood-al to be plant
ed in peaches, The ~neighbors thought
him wild. and they so much pitied him that
{ deputation ofiarmers called on him and
~admonishsd him to abandon the foolish
undertaking They said. "Why, we old
farmers have tried for twenty years to raise
peaches enough for our " use, and have
failed; what can you expect!" But Mr..
Davis. who had purchased his farm and
trees on credit, pursued his enterprise. and
set out the trees, which had been procured
in New Jersey. The Courier says:
"These trees are composed of some
twenty varieties of fruit, iripening from the
middle Of July to the last Of October. OF
the whole number of trees planted, we un-
derstand Mr.. Davis to say, that about five
thousand nave died two thousand are not
in bearing. while ten thousand bearing
trees. compose his orchard this season.
This orchard was planted six years
ago. and but one cr6p, that of 1850, placed
him out of debt. and left him about five
hundred dollars. The present season he
will take to market near thirty thousand
baskets, at an average of something over
one dollar each. Seven thousand five hun
dred have already been sold. and the rss
mainder are gradually coming in. hmay
be safely estimated that Mr.. Davis mel
pfbfts for this season, will reach nearly
if not quite, twenty-five thousand dollars

PickingrNuts.

The sweet month of October is here.
and the time is at hand when little chill
dren as wei as little squirrels will be pick
ing the nuts that fall fromihe brown trees.
The white frost will come and with his
g~listening key unlock the prickly bur of
the chestnut and beechnut and even the
walnut will throw off its fading green cloak,
and show its white and shining face.
Soon a strong wind will come, and the
bare old trees will shake as if they had a
fit ofthe aeue, and patter, patter on the dry
leaves, the nuts will falllike drops of rain.
Here and there hurries the squirrel, up
and down, round and round, so quick you
can scarcely catch a glimpse of him, look
ing as if his little jaws were half cracked
open with the huge nut he is carrying in
his mouth.
