~ Prayer was not invented; it
was born with the first sigh, the first JOY,
the first sorrow Of the human heart;
or rather man was born to pray: to
glorify God, Or to implore him was his
only mission here below; all else per-
ishcs before him or with him; bat the
cry Of glory Or admiration, Of love
which he raises towards his Creator,
does not perish on his passing from the
earth; it ascends, itresounds from age
to age, in the ear of the Almighty,
like the reflection of his own magnif-
cence. 1t is the only thing in man
which is wholly divine, and which he
can cxhale with joy and pride in an
homage to Him t6whom homage alone
is due-the infinite and eternal being.

PLANT TREES .

Last Spring, we dwelt on the importance
of planting trees and shrubs for fruit and shade
and ornament, at the risk of making the topic
bore to many Of our readers. We do not
know whether it had much good effect ; evid-
emily, however, there is more doing around us
in that line, at present, than usual. and as the
planting season is not yet quite gone, we can
not feel our conscience clear without repeat
ing the exhortation, Plant Trees ! If every
tenement in this borough could now have con-
nected with it even one additional fruit tree Of
some good kind, well planted, and one orna-
mental tree or even shrub 10 crafty that higher
appetite in man for beauty, our whole place
would be improved more eflectually than by
an equal outlay of money and time In any
other way, and an inestimable resource would
be provided for the physical and moral welfare
Of ourselves and our children. We are firmly
persuaded, moreoyer, that there is not farmer

Preparation of Ground.

The best as well as the most economical
method Of preparing the ground for Iant-
ing that we have seen was lately publish
ed in The Ccmtry GentLemaa. As this
is the proper season for planting trees IN
all the Northern States, we commend the
article to the earnest attention of all far
mers a:
"After the land is prepared as for com
mon farm crops by such manurlng as may
be afforded conveniently, and by as deep
a blowing as 4 single team will give with
a common plOw, proceed to measure oil the
distances of each row, and mark the places
bv stakes. Then begin by plowing a
small land about six feet wide, so as to
leave the dead furrow where each row OF
trees is to stand. Repeat the blowing On
the same piece Of ground several times,
until the earth is thrown out down INTO
the subsoil to depth Of about two feet.
Then mark the places by stakes where each
row crosses these at right angles, or IN
other words, where each tree Is to be pla-
ced. Deposit near each crossing half a
cubic yard of compost or old manure,
throwing a portion Of it about the place
where the tree is to stand Then proceed
to plow the earth back again, one man be-
ing employed at the same time to pass
along the row and to scatter the compost
gradually and successfully over space OF
six by eight feet about the place for each
tree, while the plowing is going on. In
this way, bed of rich deep, mellow earth
formed of thoroughly intermixed soil and
compost, over space six feet By eight, Is
made at the place for every tree. An ex-
cavatlon large enough for The reception Of
the roots is quickly made in this mellow
bed of soil, and the tree planted by placing
the unmanured and adjacent top soil next
the roots. This mode of planting will be
decidedly better than in holes dug by hand,
for these strips of land being down the
natural slope Of the land, as they always
should be, from Il channel in the subsoIl
through which any surplus water (Which
would otherwise stagnate in the dug hole }
may easily sink away, aud not remain
about the roots to injure the growth,as all
siacnant water does IN a most serious de-
gree. This is especially the case with
holes dug IN hard clay sutsolls, which hold
water like a tub"
We recommend owners of cherry-trees
TO let them stand until it Is certain they
are dead before cutting them down and
if the tops only are killed, cut that cit,
and select and train the most vigorous
sprout that starts above the junction OF
the graft with the stock, to replace the
original tree.
Cherry or peach trees that are made to
branch low, very low, will be universally
found less liable to injury than those made
to form long boles.

which arenow almost everywhere dispensed

after all its denunciation-has no hostility
