tbo back Of his head, (he had but little hair,)
shortly shall have no hair left ON my head -
We were still standing in the yestibuie Of the
church, and, looking about me for the cause of
this somewhat singular remark, ! beheld Il crowd
Of ladies, the foremost one holding in one hand
pair Of scissors and in the other lock Of Jud-
sons hair which she had taken, il seems without

THE Old PRINTER.

A Printer stood at his case one night,
In his Office dark and drear,
And his weary sight was as dim as the light
or the mouldy lamp hung near:
The wntry winds were bowling without
And the snow falling thick and fast
But the Printer trow, shook his locks of snow,
And laughed at the shrieking blast;
He watched the hands Of the clock creep round,
Keeping time with its snaillke tick
As he gathered the type, with a weary click,
In his old rust-eaten stick.
His hair was as white as the fallen snow,
And silently, day by day,
He beheld them with grief, like the autumn leai,
One by one, passing away.
Time had cut with his plow furrows deep in his
brow,
His cheek was fevorcd and tbin,
And his long Roman nose could almost repose
It's head on his grey-bearded chin;
And with fingers long, as the hours stole on,
Keeping time with the clocks dull tick,
He gathered the type, with a weary click,
in his old rust-eaten stick.
Through many long years, through joys and thro'
That old Printers time battered face.
So ghostly aud lean, night and morn had been
seen,
Earnestly bent over his case.
In a few years more Death will lock up his form,
Aud put it to press in the mould,
And stone Ger the spot where they lay him to
rot,
VIII tell us his namc and how old:
And his devil will light that lamp by his case,
And list to the clocks dull tick,
As he sets up his death. with a solemn click,
In his old rust-eatcn stick.

Ten THOUSAND DOLLARS IN THE SUDs.-An
ov banker Of Cincinnati Ohio, who event under
during the 'late financial crisis, and was COM
pelled bv outside pressure to 'shut up shop,
and endcavor to realize assets amply sufficient
to cover all his liabilities, was thrown into a
wild state of excitement, on Tuesday last, so hui
morously remarks the C0mmrciai, Of that city
lie was in fact in a condition Of mind bordering
uDon frenzy. IT seems that he has a queer habit
OF having his breeches washed. He sends them
out to a laundress Last Thursday, the eXbank
ers UuWhsperables went out as usuaI-one pair
at least-but the wasbcrwoman, from some uncX-
planned cause, was dilatory, and did not put the
bilurcates into suds as promptly as she was won't
Saturday came, and she concluded to lay the job
over until the first Of the week. Monday she was
interrupted, and the unmcntionables were again
put aside until Tuesday. That morning, however
She resolved to dispose Of the contract, and
dinely She prepared the instruments. She got
the water hot, the suds made, and held the
'brack5 by the waistband, and was about to
subject them to bydropathic treatment when her
hand was suddenly arrested, and her heart sent
struggling into her throat by furious rappng
at the door.
She hcsitated, stood aghast between terror and
her wash tub, but before she bad time to collect
her faculties her patron stood before her, his fca
fIres distorted and his eyes blazing with frantic
excitement. Surveying her an instant, he scream
ed rather than iHterrogated: lure you-HAyE
you--washed my breeches? HAVE you washed
nay breeches? You've ruined me-ruined me
hare you washed ny'-bnt suddenly catching a
glimpse Of the garments still clutched by the
suspended hand Of the terrified laundr2ss he
lcaped forward with nervous energy, and, snatch
ing them from her, he ran his hand hastily along
TIE waistband until he met with something that
seemed to satisfy his desires; and, sinking down
in a chair, he fairly went into Mysteries. BY this
time the poor woman found voice, and asked him:
. WHY, Mr.. --. what is the matter" 90, wo-
man, woman, he sobbcd, what an escape! There
is ton thousand dollar in those hrcoches. Where's
vour scissors? Get themquick Had you washed
those Ireechcs. would have been ruined What
an escaped The laundress got the scissors; the
seam OF the waistband was ripped open in an in
staut, and before her astonished gaze behed lay
ers Of bank bills. Of what value she knew not
save flat he repeated Tn H9asahd dollars :
tn H5uand dottars What an escape! What
an escape"

" HuTcuNGs' MAG4zME," for November ven
tsres the following advice to persons who propose
omigratng to California:
Don't leave for these shores without bringing
your family with you. Do not be in too great a
hurry to start; but that all your business ar.
rangements are complete. Do not come with
any other hope or expectation than TO do only as
we'll here as in the place you will leave behind
you and, if you are doing well where you are,
lie content to remain there. Upon arrival, take
the first opportunity of obtaining honorable en-
ployment which may offer itself, or you can find
II you wish TO go to the mines first seek a spot
that will be permanent, and then build you neat
little cottage, near to your mining claim. and
with those you love, be content there to live and
labor for many years, in the same way as you
would in any other country. Then, be frugal
and economical. Gather around you such a social
circle as you feel necessary for adding to your
Happiness. If you wish to engage in agricultural
emFloyments and have sufficient money to buy
you farm and stock it,, seek some suitable loca-
ton; and then be careful not to purchase before
thoroughly examining, with some well-tried friend
or acquaintance, the title thereton

DEATH OF THE SENsUALIsT.-The end Of Falstad'
may stand as type for the close Of every such
life. 1t was without regret and without honor.
There is no life so melancholy in its close, as that
Of a icentous wit. The companions with whom
he jested abandon him; the hope of the visible
world is gone, and in the spiritual he has no ref
uge. Pleasure was the bond by which he held
bis former associates, aud by affiicton that bond
is broken. The gay assembly takes no thought
Of him, and the place therein shall know him no
more. Instead of the hilarious looks which were
won't to beam around him, crowd of CHASTITY
images are fitting in his solitary room; instead
of the blaze of many lights, there is the dimness
Of a single taper; and for the song of the viol,
tleie are the meanings Of death

PBEPARNG THE GHoCND--We take the follow
ing extract from Mr. Crcgg's work on Fruit
culture;
ain the first place. the soil must be dry before
planting If not so naturally, it must be madc
so by deep powing, and, if this will not suffice,
then by undertaking. 4 clay snbsoll should
DE underdrained to the depth of three feet; but
any soil not very retentye of water may be suli-
ciently drained by the use of a subsol plow and
81 strong team With good undertaking and
proper admiXture of manures, ashes sand, and
loam the toughest clay soils may be reduced to
proper condition for fruit trees. If from any
cagse IL may be incouvenient to break the whole
surface Of the orchard, it may answer good
purpose to plow space Of eight to ten feet wide,
at proper distances for the rows Then dig large
holes to the depth Of two feet, and five or six feet
i'm diametcr; these should be partly filed with a
weil-pulverized and richymanured soil, and the
tree planted therein. Previous to planting, the
soil should be enriched with well-rotted bam-yard
on good chip manure, thoroughly intermiXed and
pulycrzod by the harrow. If planting is to be
done in the spring, the blowing should have been
gone through with the fall previous. and then
thoroughly stirred again Just before planting.
Some advise the digging OF holes merely, without
any previous preparation OF the ground with the
plow. In extreme cases this may answer, if
thoroughly done, but should be avoided. When
Tue "u0le HeId is ihOlOG8hly prepared by the
plow, it can be cultivated TO some useful crop
and the trees will be more likely TO receive the
necessary tillage than they would if standing in
the field alone. IT will furthermore be found that
the Ccst Of preparing the whole hy means of the
plow viii not be much, if any, greater than at
tending the making Of the holes in the hard soil.
After the ground is prepared by means Of the
plow and harrow, the holes for The trees may be
dug only sufficiently large to admit the tree to a
proper depth, and the necessary covering for the
roots.p
