PM GOING HOME.

Oh! I'm going home to the old hearth stone
Where warm hearts win greet me as homeward come.
The fetters are strong round the household throng
And I've wandered longbut I'm going going Iln going
home.
Meath the evergreen hill by the gentest rIl
That ever kissed pebbles the old cot stIlI
Goes on to decay, as it did that day
When wandered away-but I'm going going I'm going
home.
Soon shall press to my throbbing breast
The friends in childhood fondy caressed.
My heart strings thrill, my eyelids fll
For lloVe them sti-oh I'm going, going I'm going home
Oh, would that my Joys free from alloy,
Oh! would that no bodings my hopes would DESTROY.
But soon shall know whether veal or woe
Bettde where go-Or I'm going going an going home
Kind strangers, adeu-with heart ever true,
As onward go. I'll still think Of you;
Ana when loved ones l meet round the family seat.
Your praise I'll repeat-for I'm going, going I'm going
home.

Rules for Selecting Trees fr m the Nur-
SerY

There is nothing more easily understood than
the proper rules by which both fruit and orna-
mental trees should be selected from the nur-
sery rows but the error most generally CON-
mtted is in choosing large specimens, which
cost much more than they are worth. Were
we about to plant an orchard of choice fruit
the ages of the trees purchased by US would
be Apples two years, pears two years, peach
cS one year, cherries one to two years, plumS
two years All from the graft or bud. Rather
than have trees older than two years, we would
prefer them one year, and for the following
reasons
!. Such small plants are easily taken up
with nearly all their small fibrous roots. They
have no large woody roots that are sure to
be cut through in the act of digging, and from
the ends of which no small rootets will gener-
oily spring, unavoidaby leaving a large
amount of dead root-wood, which is positive
injury.
III. Small trees receive less check in being
transplanted, and in three or four years equal,
if not exceed in size, older ones. They also
bear in about the same period while they are
almost always far more thrifty.
III. Trees that have been transplanted W hen
small are not SO liable to disease. When q
large tree is transpanted, the growth for that
season is always very small, and the bark
presents q dry, unhealthy appearance. The
tree is liable to become bark-bound, especially
with cherries, and the hard pruning necessary
leaves great amount of dead matter in the
tree, that may be concealed by new layers of
wood, but still remains dead matter.
If we could plant seeds of the trees we de-
sired in the places where we wanted them to
forman orchard, such trees would be more
healthy, and much longer-lived, than trans
planted trees can be but this is condition
of things not easily attained We should, there
fore, adopt the nearest approach to it, and set
out young, thrifty plants, with all their
fbrouS roots untrimcd that will adapt them
selves TO the conditions in which they are
placed aud that will, in course of time, form q
valuable orchard Could we take up large
trees with all their roots. and ball of earth
with each tree, than such trees would not meet
with check, and again of time would be the
result but this is seldom the case, and the
better course is to plant out small specimens.
These rules apply also 10 ornamental trees and
shrubs. We have good example of this
before US About twelve years ago, a large
evergreen was transplanted by friend of ours
into his garden. 1t was about twelve feet
high, and great care was taken of it. At the
same time we set out small one, about eigh-
teen inches in height. Now, what do you
think is the difference between the two trees
at the present time? The large tree has grown
about four feet The small one is twenty feet
high. The large one has become the small,
the small the large. But this in an extreme
case, andthe like does not always occur. Still,
it is good illustration of the Imprudence
of selecting large trees.-Ohio Farmer, ApriI

TRAINING HELPERS AND UNRULY Cows.-1n
ninety-nine cases out Of one hundred, COWS are
wild and ungentle from defective breaking at
first. The usual method of cornering by the
fence, or holding by the horns, is just calculG-
ted to produce such cows-cows which must
he followed to the fence, find them where you
may, or be held or tied before they will stand
for milking.
Higher views of the intellect of cattle should
prevail The secret of training heifers to be
gentle, lies in educating them aright-in ap-
pealS to their inteigence-in giving them
habits of gentleness and confidence in man
while young. Heifers can be learned to stand
stil through the process of milking very easily
if fed from the hand, and petted and tanned
before the hour of service arrives. But if this
has been neglected, and the animal, full of
spirit, fear and strength was given over to
break for milking, We should advise as fol-
lows:
Let the animal be turned into yard some
twenty or thirty feet across-a strongly fenced
yard, from which she will not attempt to es-
cape, remember-and then proceed to tame
her-gently and patiently tame her, by feeding
from the hand, by rubbing, coaxing and pat
ting her as carefully as a huntSman would a
blooded pup" We should never coax a
heifer to stand to be MIXED by giving her a
pail Of slop or other bri0e, but seek to teach
her the habit of standing wherever we come up
TO her, and there submitting to the milking
process. To this end we siOnld avoid corner
ing her, or any appearance of it, but continue
by gentle words and acts, to Subdue her fear
fulness-to show her our power over her-and
TO fix the habit of obedience. In this way
the widest heifer can be tanned in few days.
If quite manageable at first, she should be
kept in the yard spoken of until she manifestS
more pleasure than fear at your approach. To
bring about this. allow her to eat and drink
only from your hands, visit her often, and each
time with some palatable morsel, all of which
would aid in cementing the confidence and
friendship which should subsist between the
COW and her mixer.
For old cows which have had bad habits,
the yard alluded to is valuable, and every
dairyman will do well to provide one, opening
from his barn-yard or other milking place
We believe that the "most tormenting old
vixen that ever kicked and run" can be broken
of their tricks in such yard, by patient per,
severance-at least we have never failed in
several trials Of our skill. If they continue
TO kick, put chain around the body just back
OF the fore legs if this does no good, loosen it
so as to twist in a lever, and give it turns en-
ough to teach them they mast submit. Let
this mode of training hefers and unruy cows
be tried with the same patience boy manifestS
in training his ifty-cent cur and we believe
oil who do so will be able to report decided
success COuAtry Gentleman

junction granted by the Circuit Court in
Owen county, to restrain the collection
of tax levied in Wayne township, in
that county, to pay OF a debt Of $1,000
or $4,000, incurred in building school
houses, under the law Of 1852; for which
the trustees had assessed tax of 70
cent. on the 800. The injunction was
granted By the Circuit Court for the rea-
son that the trustees could not assess
tax in any one year. exceeding 20 cents
on the 800. The Supreme Court
thinks. however, that that restriction
applies only to the amount to be raised
and expended in any one year, Tor the
