& WELL SPENT SABBATH.

a well spent Sabbath promotes domes.
tic affection. The members of the family
have the opportunity that day OF being
altogether, and OF cultivating Que another
acquaintance.-Neally dressed in tleir
Sunday clothing, and cieansed from the
dirt that begrims some of them durin"
the week, their appearance is better fitted
TO beget respect and affection. Ii the
Sabbath did nothing more .han encourage
cleanliness, it would be an important bless.
ing. Self respect is greatly promoted by
u workman being able to turn out on Il
Sabbath morning with his well-dressed
family, and fill their pew in the house of
God. The respectful feelings Of others are
attracted To such family. The workman
fees that to be able TO appear thus on tie
Sabbath, is something worth eXerI:ug
himself for. His industrious wife feels the
same. Both are reluctant TO souander
money and time, because one of the effects
OF such extravaganza will be TO prevent
them from appearing at church with their
children. IL is remarkable how closely
the loss of Sabbath keeping haLits is con.
nected with self-respect. When a man
has no desire to appear decent with his
children on the Sabbath it may be pre-.
sumed that his self respect is gone, and it
will be no easy matter to keep him from
degradation and ruin.
A wei! spent Sabbati, furnishes moral
energy against temptation and vice. The
immense proportion Of crimes that spring
from the neglect of the Sabbath is q well
known fact. Many criminals while under
sentence Of death, or Of transportation,
have confessed that their career com.
menced with Sabbath desecration. The
painter Hogarth, so remarkable for his mi
mute acquaintance with human nature, in
his series of pictures illustrative Of the
Rake's Progress" which ended at tho
galIows, introduced him as an apprentice

divine service. The committee of the

THE FRUIT ORCHARD.

New land, elevated and not too rich. is
most suitable for Fruit Growing, and we
offer the following plan for speedily re-
placing forest with fine and productive
Peach or Apple orchard: Cut oil all wood
and brush very clean, early in the fall,
burning to ashes all the logs that you can
not remove. Then stake off your land
the proper distances, and dig holes six feet
across aud two feet deep, throwing the
surface mould on one side and the subsoil
on The other. Rake into the bottom of
the hole bushel or more ofthe surround
ing looee earth, leaves, &c.-fill up 70 the
proper height with the suIfuce soil first
thrown out, and plant your tree careful
", heaping up the subsoiI in the from of
mound about the trunk and over the
roots, to allow for the natural setting of
the earth. Your tree being now planted
and furnished with atwo years supply of
food Immediately within its reach. lie af
ter.culture may be as follows The first
spring, early, plow and cross pIow the
young orchard with rooters, keeping be.
yond tho holes in which the t,ees are
planted, and carefully avoiding ali injury

in drills in the open spaces between the
