PLANTING FRUIT TREES. --s'Jock, when We
hae nothing else to do, ye may be aye sticking
i'll tree; it viii be growing, Jock, when
ye're sleeping. ''--Heart Of Md lothian.
l. Would you leave an inheritance to your
childreni Plant an orchard. No other in
vestment of money and labor WILL in the long
run, pay SO well,
2. Would you make home pleasant--the
abode of the social virtuess Plant an orchard.
Nothing better promotes among neighbors, a
feeling of kindness and good will than treat
of good fruit, often repeated.
8. Would you remove from your children
the strongest temptations to steals Plans an
orchard. If children cannot obtain fruit at
home, they are very apt to steal it and when
they have learned to steal fruit, thew are in a
fair way to steal horses.
4. Would you cultivate constant feeling
Of thankfulness towards the great Giver Of all
goods Plant an orchard. By having con-
stantly before you one Of the greatest blessings
given to man, you must be hardened indeed
if you are not influenced by a spirit of hui
mainly and thankfulness.
5. Would you have your children love
their home, respect their patents while
living, and yenerate their memory when dead
lin all their wanderings look back upon the
home Of their youth as a sacred spot--an oasis
in the great wilderness Of the world Then
plant an orchard.
s. In short, If you wish to avail yourself
Of the blessing Of bountiful Providence
which are within your reach, you must plant
an orchard. Aad when you do il, see that
you plant good fruit. Don't plant crab APP
pies, nor wild pIums, nor Indian peaches
The best are the cheapest Ayr.

INDIAN CoRN-DELETERIous EFFEcTs OF
BucKwHEAT.-A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman planted five acres of corn on land,
on different portions on which different crops
had been cultivats% the year devious. He
says:
1.-The corn ON that part planted with pota-
toes the previous season, was the best, strong
est and most luxuriant i'll appearance, at all
stages Of its growth. That on the sward
ploughed in the spring ranked next, and al
though of smaller growth, was nearly as
heavily cared. That part following the corn
of the previous season was next in quality per
acre, bat falling considerable short of the two
plats already mentioned and nearly equalled
by the piece sowed to oats the previous year.
That ON the ground ploughed i'll the fall was
next in order, badly eaten by worms, and in
no respect to be compared with that ON the
sward ploughed in the spring. Lastly, that
on the buckwheat ground, which was SO Sit
uated that the crops Of the previous year
alongside it were on one side grass, on one
side potatoes, and the third side corn, yet from
the time the corn came up on this plat to the
time Of harvest, it was of pale sic1ly yellow
color, and very small size, while on the three
sides aforesaid, the corn was dark green, rank
and luxuriant. The yield from this plat was
twenty bushels of nubbms per acre. Whence
! contend, that Of all common crops, buck
wheat is the worst to preeede corn, although
in this case it left the ground in the best filth
of any part of the field.

EXPECTED Recovery OF THE WRECKS OF
THE STEAMSHIP HUMBoLDr AND SHIP STAF-
YORKSHIRE. We learn that Messrs Wells &
Gowen, submarine contractors Of this city,
have Just concluded contract with the New
York underwriters and Havre Steam Naviga-
ton Company, interested in the steamship
Humboldt, Of three thousand tons, (sunk near
Halifax the past winter,) to recover the re-
mains Of her valuable cargo, engines, boilers,
and other materials, which they intend to &C
copphsh during the present season. The
weight of the machinery aloneis about sixteen
hundred TONS The same firm have also con-
tracted with the underwriters on the Inflated
ship Stafordshire, lost near Cape Sable, to re-
cover her immense and valuable cargo. The
operations upon the Staffordshire viii be su
perintended by Mr.. George Pierce, an accom-
pl!shed engineer. Mr.. John Tope, (one OF
the engineers is now absent at Cape Sable,
ascertaining the positions and soundings Of the

CALIFORNIA LossEs.-The San Francisco
Times and Transcript, of the 18th ult., COM
tains an article which gives the views Of a
merchant of that city in regard to the reckless
ness of eastern Shippers in forcing upon that
market merchandise for which there is no im-
mediate requirement and which, in most in
stances, cannot besold for costs and charges.
He thinks that California can promise losses
the present yeBr to the amount of seDen NAL
hons of dollars, and adds that while this fact is
to be deeply regretted, the Eastern shippers
may thank themselves for this loss
He addresses the merchants and shippers Of
the Atlantic ports in the following style:
And now, to make one last appeal to you,
to cease shipments, not partially but altogeth-
er, four months. The sight of clipper and
cargo have changed from the pleasing to the
revolving. You have loaded us, crushed us
with goods, against fearfully ruinous prices,
against slowly increasing population, against
good judgement, and a constantly falling mar,
ket-against all these facts, reiterated every
two weeks since last February.

April.
BY LoNGFELLow.
When the warm sun, that brings
Seed time and harvest, has returned again.
'Tis sweet to visit the still wood where springs
The first flower Of the plain.
love the season well,
When forest glades are teemng with bright forms,
Nor dark and many folded clouds foretell
The coming in Of storms.
From the earth's loosened mould
The saplng draws its sustenance, and thrves
Though stricken to the heart with winters cold,
The dropping tree revives
The oftly-warbled song
Comes thro the pleasant woods, and cclored wings
Are glancing in the golden sun along
The forest open ngs.
And when bright sunset fills
The silver woods with light, the green slope throws
Its shadows in the holows Of the hills,
And wide the upland glows.
And when the day Is gone,
In the blue lake the sky o'erreaching far,
Is followed out, and the moon dips her horn,
And wrinkles many star.
Inverted in the tide,
Stand the gray rocks, and trembling shadows throw,
And the fair trees look over, side by side,
And see themselves below.
Sweet April many thought
Is welded unto thee as hearts are wed
Nor shall they fail, ill., to its autumn brought
Life's golden fruit is shed.

We must expect that in this crisis men will
be found in the South, recreant to the rights
of their section, and traitorous to the ties Of
birth, kindred, and associations. Such u
man we would have brought out before the
camp, and while his treason is proclaimed to
the assembled people, while women scoff at
him, and children utter anathemas against
him, he should be CHANGED IN CHAINS, as an
example aud suaraiRg to traitors, and his memo
~ should DO Greproach among rs forever. We
counsel no half measures with regard to such
a man. If it were possible, we would recon-
pense his treason with the gnawing agony of
Prometheus in life, and the endless labors of
Sysiphus after death. All rules of warfare
should be suspended. An enemy can be toll
erated-a traitor never.
From the Richmond, (va.,) Examiner.
Much, nay, almost everything, depends up
on the unaniInity of the South in this grave
crisis. Let as shoto no quarter to 6aekoardness
or hesitation among our oton people upon this
question. Let us HANG, DRAW, and QUARTER,
without judge or jury, the Southern traitor
that skulks now. Letus recognize our friends
at the North, of whatever party or classifca-
ton, embrace them cordially, and treat their
enemies as our enemies.

SowING CORN FOR FoDDER.-Last spring,
sowed about three acres of corn, intending
to cut it green for soiling, but owing to the
fayorableness Of the season for grass, but one
acre was cut--the other two were cured for
fodder. l have no doubt the produce from
the one acre was equal to ten acres Of ordina-
ry grass made into hay. The best way to
raise it, is to plough and harrow the ground
as if for corn or potatoes; then start the
plough and let man or boy follow and drop
every other furrow until the piece of ground
is completed; then run the roller over it and
it needs no more attention. We put three
and half bushels of seed to the acre. l
would prefer putting on it piece of ground
that was not to be seeded, in order to save la
Dor in the curing All that would be necessa-
ry is to cut and shock as other corn, and let
it stand until dry, then bind it in sheayes and
haul it to the barn or shed, and salt it. Cat
tie eat it with great ayidity, and milk better
than when fed on hay. We purpose putting
down from ten to fifteen acres this spring, and
calculate to save twofold by the operation.-
First, in curing hay there is almost always
difficulty in procuring men, even at the high
est wages. Second, instead of moving forty
to fifty acres, we will have them for pasture,
which does not impoverish the landlikemow-
ing. I think there is no crop which will pay
better than sowed corn. DeIatoare Repubh-
