Pruning Fruit, Shade and Forest
Trees

Pruning Fruit, Shade and Forest
Trees.
June and July arc good months
for removing large limbs from fruit
| and shade trees. The sap is now in a
right condition to form new wosd, and
the healing process commences at once
The foliage also serves as a shade to
prevent sun cracks in the wounded
parts, although, where large branches
are taken from fruit trees, it is better to
coat the exposed portions with the So
luton mentioned below.
The tools for pruning are; First, q
sharp, finely set saw, nearly pointed at
the end, that it may enter between close
| ly growing limbs; neither should it be a
"hookcd' saw, but like the common
board saw, used by joiners. Second, a
hand hatchct, like a small AK, easily
used by one hand Third, a stout prun-
ing knife; and each Of them sharp
Then, a step-ladder, easily carried in
the hand or on the shoulder OF
course We give no directions as to what
particular branches arc to be cut off, as
the tree or shrub is not before us, pre-
suming, also, the pruner understands
his business.
As to the mode or manner of doing
the work, let every branch be cut close
to the body Of the tree or main branch
from which it is taken, and the bark
pared close and smooth, for the wound
rapidly to heal over. If choice tree,
solution Of gum shellac, dissolved in
pure alcohol to the consistency Of cream,
should be laid upon it with a paint
brush, to exclude the air, and prevent
the exposed wood from sun cracking.
Pruning, in general, is nothalfenou
regarded by tree and shrub growers. A
shade tree developes hall its beauty and
growth by pruning. Forest trees, where
ever it is an object to do, are all the
better for it; and every fruit-grower
knows, or ought to know, that he can
get no perfect fruit nor full crops, with
out special attention to its practice;
while every florist will tell you that to
obtain the finest flowers, and the high
est perfection of bloom, the incest at
tcntion should be given to pruning out
and properly adjusting the spray on the
plant American Agriculturist, June.

LIEUTENANT LUFF.

All you that are TOO fond Of wine,
Or any other stuff,
Take warming by the dismal fate
Ofone Lieutenant Luff.
A sober man he might have been,
Except In one regard
He did not like soft mater,
So he took TO drinking hard.
Said he, "Let others fancy sIops,
And talk i'm praise Of tea

So do not like BOhea.
If vines a poison, so is tea
But I'm another shape

THE LITTLE MAIDEN'S
PRAYER.

She kuelt her down so meekly,
Believing none were nigh,
CHsped her little hands so sweeiy,
And then with upturned eye
Said, "Father! please TO bless me
Through all the long, long day,
And keep me all so safely,
Till l come again to pray"
She simply asked forgiveness
For evil she had done,
Then said, ''now I'm forgiven
Through Christ, Gods own dear Son."
She prayed for loved ones near her,
For friends both far and wide,
Said, al want Thee, God, to bless them,
And all the world beside"

long clothes, who had heard much of
various picnic excursions that had ta-
ken place, and many that were post
poned in consequence Of the rain, APP
preached his mother with the following
inquiry:
5Mother does God love picnics2"
Why, my child, do you ask such a
question as that?" inquired the mother.
'I don't think God does love pionics,
or He wouldn't make it rain every time
there is to be one, answered the little
innocent.

has been said truly, that while we dc

spread a plaster of Spanish flies upon
the skin, and not expect it to draw, as
to think Of a family not suffering be-

Battle between Christians and

A letter from Boyrout, dated May /,
states that the Christians Of HONS, on
the banks Of the Orantis, hung up a bell
in their church. The Mohammedans
hearing the sound of the bell, called out
"Allah Akbar armed themselves, and

he could afford none The Christians
armed themselves, and went to defend

rushed on, and were received with a
vollcy Of balls, which killed ten and
wounded many more Of them. The
Christians had only a few wounded,
because they were under cover. The
Bishop, fearing the attack Of the Mos
lens, had sent messengers to the Chris
tian villages on the mountains for as
sistance. 1t was not long before sever
al thousands of riAemon came rushing
into HONS, The Cadi, Muft, and no
tables, seeing the turn the affair had
taken, went in q body to the Bishop,
and made peace, promising to become
guarantees for the future conduct of
their flock. A dinner was given by the
Bishop to the chiefs Of the riAemen,
while every Christian family gave a din

About Girls Names.

If you arc q very precise man, and

or marry q girl named Ann; for we have
the authority Of Lindley Murray and
others that "an is an indefinite article "
If you would like to have a wife who
is Gone Of thousand you should mar
ry an Emily or an Emma, for any print
cr can tell you that Gems are always
counted by thousands.
If you do not wish to have q bustling,
hy-about wife, you should not marry
ono named Jenny; for every cotton
spinner knows that jennics are always
on the go,
IF you want to marry Belle, it is not
necessary that you should be sexton,
just because you have to ring her at the
altar
If you marry one named Margaret,
you may fear for the manner that she
will end her days, for all the world
knows that "Pogs" were made for hang
ing.
If you wish to succeed in life as a
porter, you should marry Caroline, and
treat her very kindly; for so long as you
continue to do this you will be good to
