HOW TO GROW GOOD FRUI,

HOW TO GROW GOOD FRUIT.
There is still large quantities of fruit cul-
tivated that is not worth taking to market
Hundreds of bushels of apples have been
made into execrable pies in Boston this fall,
merely because they could be purchased at
a triHc less cost than those Of better quail
ty. But it is 4 mistaken economy, as a mild,
good favored apple would require less sugar
and then make better pie. Many persons
have pride in, and attach too much conse-
quence TO an apple which sprang up spon-
taueously on their own farm, or perhaps,
which they have cultivated with some care,
and then numbers of seedlings occupy the
places that should be improved by finer var
ieties, and which, if cultivated, would afford
4 greater profit.
The New York TfLome brings to notice
the following:
Just see how easily it is to grow better
fruit In Adams county, Ohio, John IIough-
ry has peach orchard of eleven acres that
has yielded him this year five thousand dol
lars, while peaches have been selling in Gin
cinnati at twenty-five cents bushcl. 1t is
easy to see that his orchard would not have
produced that sum at the price No, it did
not. He got two dollars a bushel more
readily than his neishbor got twenty-five
cents for the same variety of peaches. And
this is how he did it:

ORNAMENTAL MISUNDERSTANDING all
the beautiful evergrcens, whether native or
exortic, there is nothing in our judgment
10 compare with what is commonly called
the wild olive 1t is a compact, vigorous
grower, with deep shining green foliage, and
when in flower, is as ornamental as the
gayest Towering tree, and when in fruit
equally as ornamental. For trees lining
walks avenues, it cannot be surpassed in
beauty, grace, and harmony, and as an Or
namental hedge plant, it is unrivalled 1t
is easily propagated by its seeds. The seed
should he planted as soon as the berry is
ripe; cover the berry quite shallow, and The
second year the plants may be transplanted
to the hodge row, and the fourth year to the
the avenue. What pity it is not every
where planted in the place Of the china
tree Soil ofMc South.

THE WASHINGTON SPECTATOR.

VNHE SPECTATOR is PRINTED IN THE
Il Quarto form, on o double royal sheet Of supe-
ror paper; and is devoted to bellies lettres, and
scientific and miscellaneous intelligence. The
aim of the publisher is to make it q welcome vis-
tor to ever household, where sound knowledge and
correct moral sentiment can be appreciated
With this view he eschews all the senseless twad-
dle under the name ofliterature, which serves on
ly to beguile idle moments; and strives to confne
the matter of the SPECTATOR, to thatwhich will
leave useful impressions on the minds Of its read
ers Besides large weekly amount of matter ap-
propriate to papers purely literary the SPECTA-
TOR contains summaries of government doings in
Congress and the Executive Departments; the
important news of the day, foreign and domestic;
reviews of finance and markets; notices Of new
books, new discoveries in art and science new
inventions, including weekly list Of patents is
sued from the Patent Office; articles on education;
on agriculture, business and domestic economy;
and candid essays upon the leading topics Of the
day.
Though entertaining for themselves decided
views on questions Of political economy and relig-
ious belief, the editors do not purpose to give to
the paper partizan or sectarian character
The discussion of these subjects they leave for pa
pers established for such purpose. At the same
time they reserve to themselve the right to expose
HypoSiioy, hhu w oPpoSS pSoay anu ioh"tiSAeaA
in all forms; and Of offering, when they deem oc-
casion to require it, their opinions and reasons
therefor on seperate questions involving the nte-
rests and vested rights of the people among whom
we are located, without thereby subjecting them
selves to charge of violating any pledge.
One of the editors (Mr. Hayne, will remain for
the present, and probable spend most of his time,
at his residence in Charleston s. c., an arrange
ment we think, better enabling him to furnish
matter of local interest to that section Of the Un

and those whom we hope to have for patrons, in
that vicinity.

THE OLD VILLAGE CHURCH.

The editor of the Knickerbocker attributes
the following to Ike Marvel: and it is GER
tainly worthy of him, says the "Prisoner's
Friend," from which we copy it:
"Last evening we were walking lelsurely
along. Them of choirs in three church
es came floating out into the darkness around
us, and they were all new and strange tunes
but one and that one, it was not sung as
we have heard it, but it awakened train OF
long-buried memories, that rose to us even
as they were before the cemetery of the soul
had 4 tomb in it,
"It was sweet old 'Corinth' they were
sineing-strains that we have seldom heard
since the rose-color of life was blanched; and
we were in moment back again to the old
village church and it was summer after
noon, and the yellow sunbeams were stream
ing through the west windows, and the silver
hair of the old deacon, who sat in the pull
pit, was turned to gold in its light, and the
minister, who we used to think could never
die, so good was he, had concluded 'appll-
cation and exhortation,' and the village
choir were singing the last hymn, and the
tune was sCorinth.'
"It is years-we dare not think how many
since then, and the prayers Of David, the
son of JESSE are ended, and the choir are
scattered and gone-the girl with blue eyes
that sang alto, and the girl with black eyes
that sang air; the eyes of the one were like
clear June heaven a. noon. They both
became wives, and both mothers; and they
both died. Who shall say they are not sing
ing 'Corinth' 'still, where Sabbaths never
wane and congregations never break up!-
There they sat, Sabbath after Sabbath, by
the square column at the right of the dead
err and to our young ears their tones were
the svery soul of music The column bears
still their pencilled names, as they wrote
them in those days in life's June, lS3-, be-
fore dreaming of change had overcome theil
spirits like summers cloud.
"Alas that with the singers most of the
sweetcr tunes have died upon the air But
they liuger in memory, and they shall yet
be sung in the sweet reunion of song that
shall take place by and by in hall whose
columns are beams of morning light, whose
ceiling is pearl, whose floors ara all gold, and
where hair never turns silvery and hearts
never grow old. Then she that sang alto
and she that sang air will be in their places
once more"

MILK PA1NT.-A paint mas been used on
the continent of Europe with success, made
from milk and lime, that dries quicker than
paint, and has no smell 1t is thus made.
Take fresh curds, and bruise the Jumps on
grinding stone, or in an earthen pan or NOR
tar, to makeit just thick enough,,to be knead-
ed Stir this mixture without adding more
water, and white colored fluid will soon
be obtained, which will serve as paint,
1t may be laid on with bush with as much
ease as varnish, and it dries very speedily.
1t must, however, be used the same day it
is made, for if kept till next day it will be
too thick; consequently no more must be
made at one time than can be laid on in a
day. Any color, red or yellow ochre, may
be mixed with it in any proportion. Prus-
sian blue is changed by the lime. Too coats
of this paint is sufficient, and when dry, it
may be polished with piece Of woolen cloth,
or similar substance, and it will become
bright as varnish.. 1t is only for inside
work but it will last very long if vanished
over with the white Of an egg after it has
been polished.

THE GODS ARE WITH THE BRAVE.

BY SHELDON CHADWICK.
The gods are with the brave, never fear;
He who faters is n slave all the year;
If you SOW the future seed,
With right good and earnest deed,
The harvest time, in need, shall appear
The gods are with the brave, shifting wrong; w.
1t is swimming 'gainst the wave maketh strong;
Walk you on the upward track,
With the shadow at your back;
And in spite Of storm and rack, move along.
The gods arc with-the brave: they who trail
Their hearts love in the grave ever fail
Up, and to battle bear,
Your flagstaff in the air;
On the maestrom Of despair crowd all SAIL
The gods are with the brave. Strike the blow
The craven and the knave, let them go;
Dash boldly to the beach;
Snatch the guerdon in your reach:
And let kindness in your speech ever flow.
The gods are with the brave ey rywhere,
To guard them and to save them from the snare;
If you feel glorious thought,
Lest the truth should come to nought
Speak it tnobly rs you ought-God is there.

A HORSE WITH THE HEAVES.

tried all sorts of heave powders on my
patient, with no effect whatever 1t is said
that in limestone country this disease is
unknown, and lime water was prescribed with
no apparent advantage. Some one told me
to give the horse ginger, and strange to tell
I found that tablespoonful of ginger given
to the " General" with his oats, would cure
him for the day, in half an hour after he
had eaten it; but on giving it daily, the eff
feet soon ceased. 1t is a Jockeys remedy,
and will last long enough to swap upon
Finally, I was advised to cut my horses fod-
der and give it always wet. pursued that
course carefully, keeping the General tied
with so short halter that he could not eat
his bedding, giving him chopped hay and
meal three times day, and never more than
bucket Of water at a time.
He improved rapidly. 1 have kept him
five years, making him factotum-carriage
horse, saddle horse, plow and cart horsc-and
he bids fair to remain useful for five years
to come Kept in this way, his disease does
not lessen his value for speed or labor sim
gle dollar. When the boys grow careless,
and give him dry hay, he informs me Of it
in few days by the peculiar cough I have
mentioned; but sometimes, for six months
together, no indication of disease is visible,
and he wouldpass for sound horse with the
most knowing in such matters There is no
doubt that clover hay, probably because of
its dust, often induces the heavcs. Stable
keepers with us refuse it altogether, for this
reason.
Many suppose that the wind of the horse
is affected by the heavcs, so that fast driving
at any time will, as we express it, put him
out of breath. With my horse, it is not So.
When the General" was at the worst,
rapid driving, when just from the stable,
would increase his difficulty, but mile or
two of moderate exercise would dissipate
the symptoms entirely. We have, occasion
ally, what are called aetnd-Irohen horses,
which arc nearly worthless for want of wind.
They can never be driven rapidly without
great distress, and frequently give out entire

chopped and wet fodder, and exclusion of
dust from hay fed to other animals in the

deemed almost worthless, and which mani
fcstly endure great suffering, equally valua-
BILE for most purposes, with those that arc
