MORAL INFLUENCE OF A LITE.
RARy TASTE.

To young man away from home, friendless
and forlorn, in great city, the hours Of great
est peril are between sunset and bedtime; for
the moon and stars see more evil in a single
hour than the sun in whole days circuit. The
poets visions of evening are all of soothing
and tender images. 1t brings the wanGerer to
his home, the child to its mothers arm, the OK
to his stall, the weary laborer 10 his rest But
to the gentle heated youth, who is thrown up
on the rocks Of pitiless city, and 'sstands
homeless amid thousand homes the approach
Of evening brings with it an aching sense OF
loneliness and desolation, which comes down
upon the spirit like darkness upoL the EARTH
In this mood his impulse becomes a snare to
him, and he is led astray because he is social,
atectionate, sympathetic and warm hearted
IL there be young man thus circumstaHced
within the sound of my voice, let me say unto
him that books are the friends Of the friendless,
and that library is the home of the homeless
A taste for reading will always carry you 10
converse with men who will instruct you by
their wisdom and charm you by their wit, who
will soothe you when fretted. refresh you when
weary, counsel you when perplexed sympathise
with you a. all times Evil spirits, in the mid
die ages, were exercised and driven away by
bell, book and candle; but you want but two

PEACH TREES-PROPAGATlON
OF FRUIT TREES.

In our Southern latitude the peach, most de-
licious fruit, seems adapted to the soil and eli
mate. However, the peach is difficult to graft,
and by the seed propagation is depended upon.
Numerous important discoveries have been
made accidentally witness that of the manu-
facture Of glass. The discovery has recently
been made that If the small twigs of peach
tree-such as ought to be pruned off in the
spring-are buried in the ground in horizon
tai position, with three or -four inches of the
twig left out, it will sprout and grow in ad
vance Of any thing that comes up from the seed.
Another way to propagate the peach before
it can bear fruit is to bend down the sprouts
that are apt to come up from the root of a
young tree, and cover them for foot or Sc
with earth well pressed down. The sprouts
thus covered will take root, and thenext spring
may be planted out like young trees. Thus
numerous trees may be got from favorite one
before II is of ace to bear fruit

PETER CARTWRIGHT ESCAPES A WHIPPING.
There was another circumstance happened
at this camp meeting that will substantially
relate. 1t was one of our rules of the camp
meeting that the men were to occupy the seats
on one side of the stand, and the ladies the
other side, at all hours Of public worship
But there was young man finely dressed, with
his bosom full Of rufles, that would Take his
seat among the ladies'; and if there was any
excitement in the congregation, he would rise
to his feet and stand on the seats prepared for
the occupancy Of the ladies. reproved him
several times, but he would still persist in his
disorderly course. AT length reproved him
personally, and sharply, and said: 81 mean
that young man there standing OH the seats of
the ladies, with rufiied shirt on.o And add
ed, II doubt not that that ruffled shirt was Dor
rowed.',
This brought him off the seats in mighty
rage. He swore he would whip me for insult
ing him. After while l was walking round
on the outskirts of the congregation, and he
had large company gathered round him, and
was swearing at mighty rate, and saying
he would certainly whip me before he left the
ground.

They opened the way walked up to him,
and asked him if it was me he was cursing

He said it was.

gregation by fighting here; but let us go cut
into the woods, for If am to be whipped

So we started for the woods, the crowd
pressing after us. | stopped and requested
every one Of them TO go back, and not a man
to follow; and assured them if they did n t go
back that would not 60 another step; they
then turned back. The camp ground was
fenced in. When we came to the fence put

ankle; it gave me severe jar; and pain
struck me in the left side from the force Of the

lsf.. side, where the pain had struck me- MY
redoubtable antagonist had got Oh the fence,

you?o
'sYes," said |, ssand viii. give you the bene-
