Cultivation of she Peach Tree.

Professor Mapes, of New Jersey, in treating
Of the cultivation Of the Peach tree, says that
peach stones, in falling from the trees, always
bury themselves alike, point downwards, and
this ought to be initiated. Broad end upwards,
the frost opens them and water enters. He
describes plan, the ideal Of which is to fit the
bud, in the process of budding, BY cutting
away so much of the bark as viii allow the
insertion Of the bud in place Of the removed
bark. The peach tree must be set one inch
higher than in the nursery from which ii is ta>
ken. The new growth should be taken in,
early in the next spring. The double labor is
fruit bud, and the stock should never be shor.
tened in next to it. If peach be borne on
the end Of long, struggling, dependant limb,
its death is not far distant. Peach trees eigh~
teen years old may be rendered fruitful by
proper treatment The soil must be disturbed
early, or there will be no crop. A very large
hole ought to be made in planting.

The Home Mother,

Some one writing for the Masonic
Mirror, has drawn pretty picture of
a home>loving, child-Ioving mother;
eve must draw line, aye, broad
line, between her and the frivolous
butterfly of fashion, who firts from
ball to opera and party, decked in rich
robes, and followed by train as heart
less as herself-she, who forgetful of
the holy task assigned her, neglecting
those who have been given in her
charge, and leaves them to the care of
hirelings, while she pursues her giddy
round of amusements. Not so with
our home mother, blessing be on her
head. The heart warns to see her in
her daily routine of pleasant duties.
How pleasant she sits, day after day
shaping and sewing some little article
for use and adornment for her little
flock! And how proud and pleased
is each little recipient of her kindness.
How the little faces dimple with plea
sure and the bright eyes grow still
brighter, as mamma decks them with
her own hands, in the new dress she
made! How much warmer and more
comfortable they feel if mamma wraps
them up before they go to school! No
one but her can warm the mitts and
overshoes, or the comforters around
their necks.
There is a peculiar charm about all
she does, the precious mother. They
could not sleep, nay, for that matter
she could not, ifshe failed to visit their
chamber, and with her own soft hands
arrange them comfortably before they
slept. Her heart thrills with gratitude
to her Creator as she looks on those
sweet, blooming faces. and when their
prayers are done imprints good night
kiss on each rosy mouth. 1t may be,
too, tear will start for the little nest
ling bird in its chill narrow bed, for
whom her maternal care is 40 longer
needed. 1t sleeps, though the sleet
and snow descend, and the wild win
ter howls around its head. 1t needs
no longer her tender care! A might
ier arm enfolds it! 1t is at rest. She
feels and knows that it is right, and |
bends meekly to the hand that sped |
the shaft, and turns with Il warmer |
love, ifitbe possible, to those little ones
who are left to love. How tenderly |
she guards them from danger, and with |
a strong untiring love, she watches by
their bedside when they are i'll.
Blessings be on the gentle home-lov~
ing mother. Angels will look with
love upon her acts. Her children will |
rise up, and call her blessed, and the
memory of her kindly deeds will en-
fold her as a garment.

they disappear. Boston Cultiuator.

of other nations. In battle they have

man, as he saw an officer fall at New
Orleans.
No, no-I shot him, said his cons
rade at his side.
l shot him in the right eye, replied
the rifeman.
And | shot him in the left eye, was
the response.
After the battle it was found that
this officer had been shot in both eyes.
This unerring precision can only be
obtained By long practiceand thorough
drilling. At the first settlement of this
State, they were constantly compelled
to be under arms, as it were, to guard
against wild Indians and the murders

children grew up, taught in their ear
liest infancy to poise the rife and dis
rect its aim. As ammunition was not
always convenient to be had, the father
would dole out to the son a certain
number of cartridges for his rife, for
each one Of which he must bring
some sort of game, or get a taste Of
hickory for every missing shot.
Many years ago | was conversing
with my father on the wonderful skill
of the Kentuckians, when he related
the following anecdote:
| was out in the wild woods of
Kentucky some years ago, before the
war, on a surveying expedition, and
had an opportunity Of studying the
character Of the early settlers for con-
siderable length of time. 1t become
necessary for me to stop few days at
log tavern, and TO while away the
time, Itook my rife and explored the
woods for game, of which there was
an abundance. The lanlord had lit
tie son, about ten years of age, who
accompanied me with his rife, and al
ways had extremely good luck. On
one occasion the fates seemed adverse
to him, for, perceiving squirrel on
very high branch Of a tree, he up with
his rifle and blazed away, and down
came the squirrel. The look Of dis
may with which he viewed his game,
| shall never forget. Dropping the
butt of his rife on the ground. he burst
into tears. In the utmost surprise l
inquired what the matter was. He
answered:
