The Cork Tree.

About hcgshead of acorns OF the cork tree
was ordered from the south of Europe for dis
iribu,ion in the middle and southern states for
experiment, or TO test their adaptation to the
soil and climate. Much is anticipated from
their successful introduction. Should a por-
,on OF the present distribution by any un-
toward circumstances fail to answer expecia-
zion, care will be taken by the Office 10 obtain
another supply for those who feel an interest
in growing this useful tree. 1t will be sub
ject Of national importance if the introduction
proves successful Plantations should be es-
tablished on every favorable locality, so that in
due time the increasing wants of the country
may be met by the home supply. The tree
grows rapidly and attains height of upwards
of thirty feet. Indeed, even in England, there
are various specimens over fifty feet high, with
q diameter of more than three feet. Cork trees
are much esteemed in Southern Europe, and
land planted with them is considered the most
profitable of all that is unirrigated. They
seem in general to prefer those localities where
gnelSS, SanuStODe, SoUltuSe dnu CdIcdIeOuS
rocks abound The substance so familiary
known 10 us as cork is the epidermis OF out
er bark, which sometimes attaihs thickness
of two or three inches. This is rarely taken
off until the tree has arrived at an age of fifteen
or twenty years. This operation, which is
carried on every six, seven, eight or nine years,
according to circumstances, is generally COM
pleted in The months of May and June, while
the sap is still active in the tree Although
easy to accomplish, some care is required TO
avoid injuring the real bark or liber,' which
lies under the cork. A circular incision is
usually made around the foot of the tree and
smother near the branches. Longitudinal cuts
are then made, and, finally, by usIng the han
die of haichet as a wedge, the cork is de-
tached from the under bark. The larger
branches are treated in similar manner.-Ag-

A PIECE OF Coop LucK.-On Friday last
gentleman of this city found in the streets
check for $4,000, drawn by one ofthe most sub
siantial of our men of business to the order of
another wealthy firm, and duly endorsed. He
took it at once to the bank upon which it was
drawn, and explained the circumstance to the
paying teller, and left the check with him to
be delivered 10 the rightful owners. In few
minutes very agitated gentleman made his ap-
pearance at The counter, iuquiring whether
check for that amount, drawn and endorsed in
the manner described, had been presented. =
The teller, disposed TO keep him in suspense,
replied at once, Yes, here il is Is there any,
thing wrong Is it forgery The effect
was so distressing that the good-natured teller
could not help soothing him at once. Never
mind never mind /; our bank is liberal we
will pay it TO yon again, if it troubles you so
much. The assurance was very reviving, es-
pecially as man who had business with cor
porations, he knew it must be all right if they
would pay the money and fervenily thanking
his unknown friend, he went off with heart
very much lightened. d.-Ne,c Orleans Picayune.

Anecdote Of a Sheen.

Anecdotes of animals are always amusing
and moreover if observed accurately and told
without establishment, may some day serve
TO solve great problem in philosophy-the
distinction, namely, between the spirit of a
man that goeth upward and the spirit of a
beast that goeth downward to the earth-a
problem that the great Bishop Butler could
not solve, and left blemish in his argument
but monument to his candor. The subjec,

Ode to Lamb.

Whether with peas and mint 1 must dispense,
Or go the twain, plaspheming the expense,
And thus enjoy thee in the fullest sense
That is the question.

just in the dawn of grass-fed juicyhood.
Dainties like thee should not be served up mud G
But graced with all the trimmings understood

Then boil the peas, the fragrant mint prepare,
Be thou, prime joint, not overdone, nor rare,
Concoct the gravy with exceeding care;
When all is ready, serve-I shall be there,

Incipient sheepmeat, when on thee dine.
Hot be the plates and icy cold the wine
Three slices midway of the leg be mine,
Then put the rest away-for very fine

Going Home.
BY FRANCIS BROWN.

We said that the days were evil,
We felt that they nigh, be few,
For low was our fortunes leyel,
And heavy the winters grew;
But one who had no possession
Looked up to the azure dome,
And said, in his simple fashion,
=" Dear friends, we are going home ~
This world is the same dull market
That wearied its earliest sage;
The times to the wise are dark yet,
But so hath been many an age.
And rich grow the toiling nations.
And red grow the battle spears
And dreary with desoiasions
Roll onward the laden years.
What need of the changeless story
Which time hath so often told,
The spectre that follows glory,
The canker that comes with gold,-
That wisdom, and strength, and honor
Must fade like the far sea foam,
And Death is the only winner;
But, friends, we are going home
The homes we had hoped to rest in
Were open to sin and strife,
The dreams that our youth was blest in
Were not for the wear of life
For care can darken the cottage,
As well as the palace hearth,
And birthrights are sold for pottage, 8
But never redeemed on earth.
The springs have gone by in sorrow,
The summers we're grieved away,
And ever we feared tomorrow, E
And ever we blamed to-day.
In depths which the searcher sounded,
On hills which the high hear, clohb,
Have trouble and toll abounded:-
But, friends, we are going home!
Our faith was the bravest builder,
But found not stone of trust:
Our love was the fairest glider,
But lavished its wealth on dust,
And time hath the fabric shaken, tll
And fortune the clay hath shown,
For much they have changed and taken,
But nothing that was our own.
The light that to us made baser
The paths which SO many choose.
The gifts there was found no place for,
The riches we could not use;
The heart that when life was wintry
Found summer in strain and tome,
With these to our kin and country =
Dear friends, we are going home

THIS remedy has won for itself such notoriety
from its Of every variety of pulmonary disease
that it is entirely unnecessary to recount the evi
dences of its virtues in any community where it
has been employed. So wide is the field of its use
fulness and so numerous the cases of its cures,
that almost every section of the couHtrv abounds
in persons publicly known, who have been restored
from alarming and even desperate diseases OF the
lungs BY its use. When once tried its superiority
over every other medicine of its kind is too appa-
rent to escape observation and where its virtues
known, the public longer hesitate what antidote
to employ for the distressing and dangerous atfec-
tons of the pulmonary organs which are incident
to our climate. And not only in formidable at
tacks upon the lungs, but for the mider varieties
of CoLDs, COUGHS, HOARsENEss, &C.; and for
CHILDREN it is the pleasantest and safest medicine
that can be obtained.
As it has long been in constant use throughout
this section we need not do more than assure the
people its quality is kept up to the best that ever
has been. and that the genuine article is sold by
